Chapter 85 Family
"Wanwan, have you been implicated by those people from the Tail-Cutting Society?"
Su Henian's deep voice came through, and although he tried his best to remain calm, Su Xiangwan could still hear the tremor in his voice.
"Dad, although the Tail-Cutting Society came to our door, they didn't cause us any trouble."
These words were spoken by Gu Yanxiao.
Although they couldn't use speakerphone because they were in a post office, he and Su Xiangwan were very close, and with his exceptional hearing, it didn't affect their conversation.
Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Su Henian spoke up: "Yan Xiao, we have dragged your Gu family into this. Please apologize to your parents on my behalf."
"Dad, don't say that. We are a family, and we should share both honor and disgrace. Besides, this isn't entirely because of the Su family."
Hearing Gu Yanxiao say this, Su Henian understood his meaning perfectly.
Indeed, the Su family has severed ties with the domestic situation as quickly as possible.
This was to avoid implicating relatives and friends in China.
As for Su Xiangwan, they had considered taking her to Beijing and abroad with them.
However, Su Xiangwan married Gu Yanxiao, and her household registration is now with the Gu family.
Given the Gu family's status and position, it's impossible for Su Xiangwan, as their daughter-in-law, to go abroad.
Moreover, Su Xiangwan was already pregnant at this time, so it was impossible for her to just abandon the Gu family and leave.
They could only try their best to leave Su Xiangwan with a huge fortune, hiding all the money in the most secret places.
Once the storm has passed, Su Xiangwan can live a wealthy and carefree life with this fortune.
It is no exaggeration to say that their wealth was enough to support an entire prominent family.
The Su family is the richest family in Shanghai, and that's no exaggeration.
"Take good care of Wanwan, Yanxiao. Now that none of us are by Wanwan's side, she... only has you left..."
Su Henian's voice choked with emotion. This tycoon, who was revered by everyone in Shanghai, was now just an ordinary father when talking about his most beloved youngest daughter.
“Yes! Yan Xiao, Wanwan has been spoiled by us since she was little, so it’s inevitable that she’s a bit arrogant. Please be more tolerant of her, especially now that she’s pregnant and needs someone to take care of her…”
Feng Qinshu spoke cautiously, trying to soften her words for her daughter, and by the end, she was choking up.
"Don't worry, Dad, Mom. Wanwan is more important to me than my own life. I will be as loyal to her as I am to the country," Gu Yanxiao said solemnly.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Su Henian and Feng Qinshu naturally knew Gu Yanxiao, and after hearing what he said, although their eyes were still red, they were relieved.
"Wanwan, your belly must be quite big by now, right?"
"Has the child been bothering you?"
How are you feeling?
"Do you experience morning sickness?"
"Are you enjoying the food?"
The four of them asked a series of questions, one after another, which came to Su Xiangwan's ears through the phone line.
"Mom, Dad, eldest brother, second brother, I'm in good health, the baby is very well-behaved and hasn't bothered me. My morning sickness isn't too bad, and I'm eating well. My mom is a great cook."
As Su Xiangwan recounted her story, the Su family members, who had been holding their breath, finally felt a little relieved.
"Wanwan, your second brother will be in the capital next month. Whatever you want, your second brother will bring it to you."
Just then, Su Xiangbei spoke up.
Su Xiangnan, who was already jealous that he was able to go back to see Su Xiangwan alone, glared at him with a bitter look.
If he had known that studying medicine would come in handy at this time, he would never have chosen to study finance.
Su Xiangbei felt his elder brother's envious gaze, which made him even more smug.
I am increasingly grateful that I studied medicine, so that at this time, I can return to the country as a medical doctor to see my pregnant younger sister.
"Second brother, I don't want anything, I just want to see you."
Su Xiangwan's soft, sweet voice came through the phone line, and the other three people in the office instantly changed their expressions.
Especially Su Xiangnan: "Little sister, don't you miss your big brother?"
The sky has fallen. His younger sister only wants to see her second brother, while he, the eldest brother, just wants to bang his head against the wall.
“Wanwan, don’t you miss your dad…” Su Henian sighed.
“Wanwan, Mom misses you so much…” Feng Qinshu added.
Upon hearing this, Su Xiangwan quickly comforted them one by one. She was wrong; she was only thinking about acting cute with her second brother and had forgotten that it was on speakerphone, and her parents and eldest brother could all hear it.
This immediately drew protests from the other three.
However, after this playful banter, the lingering sadness finally faded a bit.
Su Xiangwan chatted with them for another half hour, answering all the questions they had.
He reluctantly hung up the phone only when someone else was waiting to make a call.
After paying the phone bill, the two walked out of the post office side by side.
As for the people behind them and the post office staff, who were stunned by the amount of phone bills they paid, the two of them didn't seem to care.
Phone bills are expensive these days, and international calls are ridiculously expensive, but that's only how it seems to ordinary people.
As for Su Xiangwan, she was not even in her consideration.
Not only her, but the Su family never considered the cost of phone calls.
If it weren't for the fact that there were people waiting behind them, Su Xiangwan would have liked to continue chatting with them.
Gu Yanxiao noticed Su Xiangwan's reluctant expression and said, "Why don't we just install a telephone at home?"
"ah?"
Hearing him say that, Su Xiangwan was taken aback: "Is that alright?"
If possible, she would definitely like to install a telephone so that she can talk to her family anytime.
However, I'm afraid it won't be easy!
There are no telephones in the entire Bakushu Village. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for them to install telephones? Besides, it wouldn't be easy for their applications to be approved!
“Using the school’s name shouldn’t be a problem,” Gu Yanxiao said.
"At worst, we can just use Director Ding's name again."
Hearing Gu Yanxiao say that, Su Xiangwan's eyes lit up. That's right, she had built the school in Director Ding's name.
What's wrong with installing another phone in his name?
"Yes, yes, that's a great idea!"
"And not just one, but three."
Gu Yanxiao continued, "One phone for the village committee, one for the school, and one for our home. That way, if someone in the village needs to use the phone, it won't disturb the rest of the family."
Although they were about to leave for the capital, Mr. and Mrs. Gu still wanted to stay in Bakushu Village.
Having a telephone will make it much easier to contact each other in the future.
