"Xu Bai!"
As Mr. Xu went upstairs to his room, he called Xu Bai, who was standing there in a daze, back upstairs, "Come up!"
Xu Bai turned his head to look at Su Xincheng outside the hotel. She had already run quickly into the darkness and could no longer be seen.
The night was too dark, the wind too strong, and Xu Bai felt a pang of heartache when he thought of what she had said about Su Ning being missing. He felt extremely sad.
Xu Bai followed Mr. Xu upstairs, and they booked all three suites on the top floor.
Xu Bai and Xu Huanyan each live in one room.
"Xu Bai!"
As Xu Bai was about to return to his room, Mr. Xu called him back.
Madam Xu tactfully led Xu Huanyan back to another room, leaving Mr. Xu and Xu Baitan behind.
"Su Ning's life or death is none of our Xu family's business."
Mr. Xu explained it to Xu Bai in this way as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xu Bai looked at Mr. Xu with a puzzled expression. In his heart, Mr. Xu was like a god, his idol.
Although his grandfather had two sons and a daughter, he said that Mr. Xu was very smart.
When Mr. Xu first entered the school, he wanted to be a piano teacher and live a stable life. However, Mr. Xu insisted on taking him home and letting Mr. Xu take control of the Xu family.
Over the years, just as Mr. Xu had envisioned, the Xu family business has been developing better and better.
Xu Bai was the established leader, and he silently vowed in his heart to do better than Mr. Xu in the future.
Today, Mr. Xu's words and actions made him feel that Mr. Xu was too cold and heartless.
"dad!"
Xu Bai replied, "Su Ning's leg is inconvenient; she couldn't have disappeared without someone's help."
"I'm worried something might have happened to her?"
“She’s a good person, and she’s also my aunt’s little apprentice. Why don’t we…”
Before Xu Bai could finish his proposal, Mr. Xu strongly rejected it.
"Xu Bai, whether Su Ning was kidnapped or taken away is none of our business."
Mr. Xu's stubbornness annoyed Xu Bai. Regardless of whether this person was his respected father, he lowered his voice and asked, "With Dad here, are you going to stand by and watch someone die?"
"Even if we don't know her, shouldn't we help her if we know about this?"
Mr. Xu replied unhappily, "The Gu family, the Lu family, and the Fu family are all our business!"
"Besides, they can call the police."
In short, Mr. Xu disagreed with using the Xu family's resources to find Su Ning.
Xu Bai didn't understand. Suddenly, he thought of something and chuckled, "Because of Huan Yan?"
"Um?"
Mr. Xu responded softly, then looked up at Xu Bai with a puzzled expression.
Xu Bai felt he had figured out why Mr. Xu disagreed: "If something happens to Su Ning, Huan Yan can marry Gu Jingchen."
"Dad, you've really gone to great lengths for Huanyan's happiness."
"But don't you think you're being too cold-blooded?"
For the first time, I realized how cold-blooded and frightening my father was!
After Xu Bai finished speaking with a cold laugh, he turned around without waiting for Mr. Xu to reprimand him.
"Xu Bai, I'll say it again, Su Ning's matter has nothing to do with us."
Seeing his son leave angrily, Mr. Xu spoke again in a cold voice. Xu Bai did not answer, but slammed the door shut, expressing his dissatisfaction with Mr. Xu through his actions.
This wasn't the first time Xu Bai had defied him for Su Ning's sake. His obedient and compliant son had become a different person after coming to Nancheng. Mr. Xu had to admit that blood ties were truly terrifying!
Regardless of whether they haven't seen each other for over twenty years, when they meet, they feel a sense of familiarity and unconsciously protect each other.
Xu Bai and Xu Huanyan have been siblings for so many years, but he has never been as protective of Xu Huanyan as he is.
