The girl sat on the hospital bed, looking up at He Ci, tears silently streaming down her face, just like when he first met Su Ning.
"What's your name? Where do you live? I'll have someone take you home."
The girl didn't say anything, which made Ali even angrier. What did this woman mean? Wearing the face of a mistress, she watched Young Master He cry. Did she think she was Su Ning?
He Ci took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Don't cry. Let's talk this out. How are we supposed to contact your family if you don't speak?"
The girl stared at He Ci with wary eyes until the doctor came to check on her, breaking the awkward silence.
The doctor approached the girl and began to ask, "Miss, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
The girl shook her head and remained silent. He Ci thought she was mute. After the doctor finished his rounds, he left. He Ci instructed Ali to find a nanny to take care of her before leaving.
As they approached the door, the girl suddenly spoke. "I didn't mean to last night. Someone was chasing me, which is why I bumped into your car."
He Ci turned around, "So you can talk?"
The girl bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
He Ci came to the bedside, looked down at her, and lifted her chin. "What's your name?"
The girl looked at him in a panic and at a loss, "Xin...Xin Ning."
He Ci's lips curved into a beautiful smile, and then he gave instructions to Ali behind him.
"Have someone take good care of her, and call me if anything happens."
He Ci finished speaking and left. The nanny arrived soon after. Ali gave her instructions and then went back.
Inside the car, He Ci instructed A Rang, "Investigate that woman. I don't want anyone causing trouble with a face that resembles my wife."
Even if He Ci hadn't said anything, A Rang would have investigated anyway. This woman's appearance was too coincidental, and not only that, she looked so much like Su Ning. He wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
Su Ning first went to bars and dance halls, where there were basically no people during the day. Su Ning looked through the ledgers and the income was not bad.
She then went to the casino, which was crowded and a bit noisy. The lobby was filled with men, women, and children, some of whom were holding notebooks and calculating numbers.
As Su Ning looked at the big screen, she heard someone excitedly shouting in her ear.
"Number 7, number 7, number 7, run faster and you're almost there!" It turned out this person was betting on a horse.
Many people want to get rich overnight, but many also lose everything here; this is all due to human desires.
Su Ning didn't linger. She turned and headed upstairs. Zhuang Xiong was now the manager here. Su Ning had heard He Ci mention him before. If he didn't trust someone, he would never have assigned Zhuang Xiong to this place.
Zhuang Xiong wasn't surprised to see Su Ning. "Boss Su, you're here?"
Here, everyone calls Zhuang Xiong "Brother Xiong". Zhuang Xiong is older than both He Ci and Su Ning, so he also calls Su Ning "Boss Su" like everyone else.
Zhuang Xiong was considered one of He Ci's confidants; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted such a large casino to him. It was said that he was loyal and would go to great lengths for his brothers, not to mention that he was He Ci's savior.
"Brother Xiong, are you adjusting well?"
Zhuang Xiong scratched his head awkwardly. "Boss Su, please don't call me Brother Xiong. It's embarrassing. Thank you and your wife for giving me a place to stay. I will do my best."
Cui Ying glanced at the simpleton in front of her. His name and appearance were completely different. Zhuang Xiong was very tough and muscular. His features were not handsome, but he was quite good-looking.
Su Ning smiled and said, "You are Ci-ge's savior. From now on, we are family. As long as we have food to eat, you will not be lacking."
Zhuang Xiong was deeply moved. He used to have a good wife and a happy life. He had only been away for half a year when his wife got involved with his brother. He really envied He Ci.
