The door opened again, and this time it wasn't Xu Bai who entered, but Madam Xu.
She came in and saw Mr. Xu smoking a cigarette. She came over and gently took the cigarette away from him, saying, "Brother Sheng, I told you I don't smoke!"
Who would have thought that the seemingly perfect and aloof Mr. Xu was a heavy smoker?
Moreover, he used to not touch cigarettes.
"Hmm," Mr. Xu replied, and under Mrs. Xu's supervision, he extinguished the lit cigarette butt, but did not throw it into the trash can.
"Brother Sheng, is Su Ning really missing?" Madam Xu asked Mr. Xu in a slow voice.
"It should be."
"Aren't you really going to help me look for it?"
Mr. Xu pursed his lips and smiled at Mrs. Xu, "If you expect me to help you find someone who has gone missing, how can I possibly manage?"
“Su Ning is different.”
Mrs. Xu stared into Mr. Xu's eyes and tentatively asked, "She is yours..."
"My daughter?" Mr. Xu answered Mrs. Xu's question quite calmly. "Is Huanyan asleep?"
He abruptly changed the subject, causing Madam Xu to pause in surprise.
"Huanyan is my daughter."
He smiled and said it with certainty.
Mrs. Xu was satisfied with the answer. She smiled and reached out to shake Mr. Xu's hand.
“Brother Sheng, if you want to use the Xu family to find Su Ning, I don’t mind.”
“I can also ask my brother to help me look for it.”
“No need,” Mr. Xu refused. “Her life or death has nothing to do with me.”
Seeing that Mr. Xu's answer was so resolute, Mrs. Xu let it go.
Besides, it would be better if Su Ning disappeared and couldn't be found, or even better if she really died. That way, she could rest easy, and Huan Yan could marry Gu Jingchen smoothly.
"Oh right, I have something important to do in the capital, so I need to go there."
Mr. Xu stood up and spoke to Mrs. Xu.
"Now?" Madam Xu frowned and asked in surprise, "Then I'll go back with you!"
Mr. Xu raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch and said, "My flight is in an hour."
"So urgent?"
"Yes!" Mr. Xu replied, and said gently to Mrs. Xu, "You and Huanyan still have things to take care of, so I haven't arranged for you to go back."
"Moreover, Su Ning's disappearance this time is a good opportunity for Huan Yan."
Madam Xu understood. If Su Ning really had an accident, it would be Xu Huanyan's best chance to win over Gu Jingchen.
"good!"
Madam Xu agreed, then thought of Xu Bai, "What about Xu Bai?"
"He doesn't care about his own sister, but he cares about others." Upon hearing Xu Bai's words, Mr. Xu's face immediately darkened. "Let him stay here and reflect on his actions."
After saying that, Mr. Xu went to the bedroom and took out his suitcase. He had his luggage packed before Su Xincheng came looking for him.
"Brother Sheng." Mrs. Xu walked to the door, her gaze shifting from Mr. Xu's suitcase. "How long are you going to be gone?"
"We'll see how things go," Mr. Xu said softly. "I'll get it done as soon as possible and come pick you up."
"If you can't stay here, go back first."
"Okay!" Madam Xu didn't ask any more questions. She looked at the still handsome Mr. Xu in front of her, stood on tiptoe and wanted to kiss Mr. Xu's lips. Mr. Xu turned his head slightly, and her lips landed on his cheek.
"I'm leaving now," Mr. Xu said with a gentle smile. His assistant came over, took his suitcase, and left.
Standing at the door, Mrs. Xu watched Mr. Xu's figure walk further and further away. His luggage was packed, and his assistant had arrived. He was ready to leave them behind and depart from Nancheng.
Mrs. Xu thought for a moment, then took out her phone and made a call, "Keep an eye on Xu Sheng for me!"
