"no!"
A weak and feeble voice came from Mr. Xu's mouth. Xu Bai looked away and saw Mr. Xu let go of his hand and walk forward.
In Xu Bai's heart, Mr. Xu was the anchor of the Xu family and the idol he admired.
However, under the bright light, Mr. Xu's back slowly hunched over, as if something was pressing down on him and preventing him from straightening up.
"dad!"
Xu Bai chased after him; seeing Mr. Xu like this made him feel uncomfortable.
Is it because Su Ning had an accident?
Doesn't Dad hate Su Ning?
With too many doubts in his heart, Xu Bai grasped Mr. Xu's cold hand. He nodded in agreement with Mr. Xu's words and replied with certainty, "Yes, that's not her!"
The words had barely left his mouth when even Xu Bai was taken aback.
His certainty came from the bottom of his heart; he didn't even understand why he was so sure!
Mr. Xu, who had slowed his pace, turned to look at Xu Bai, pursed his lips, and smiled, "Mm!"
After he responded, the pain returned, and he walked very slowly with Xu Bai's support.
More than twenty years ago, he abandoned Su Xincheng and her daughter, knowing there would be retribution. However, over the years, he didn't feel that retribution would affect him at all!
Now, he's wrong! Utterly wrong!
The news that Su Ning had fallen into the sea spread throughout Nancheng overnight.
After Su Ning disappeared, the four major families—Gu, Fu, Mu, and Lu—mobilized their manpower and practically pried open the ground in Nancheng, turning it upside down. Not only the upper class, but also other social strata knew about it.
Regarding Su Ning's situation, in the past six months, people in Nancheng who didn't know about it have dug up and reviewed the events from four years ago, and many forums have thoroughly investigated Su Ning's past.
There are rumors about her love story with Gu Jingchen, her excellent grades in all subjects in high school, and photos of her car accident four years ago.
A girl who lost both legs returned to Nancheng and married her former lover. How could such a thing not be talked about? Yet Gu Jingchen insisted on marrying her!
Now that his whereabouts are unknown and the chances of his survival are slim, this incident has overshadowed all other news. Even the stories of the eldest daughter of the Gu family and the wife of the Lu family having an affair with Xiao Lian in the hospital failed to make a big splash.
Everyone's thoughts were focused on Su Ning, and they did everything they could to help find her.
Su Ning truly vanished as if a stone had sunk into the sea.
The rumors circulating outside have nothing to do with Gu Jingchen.
After two days and two nights without sleep, he finally returned to Yanyugui. As soon as he entered, Sister An came over to help him take away his coat, which was full of the smell of smoke.
Gu Jingchen didn't speak. When he looked up, he saw the familiar living room. For a moment, he seemed to see Su Ning waiting for him in the living room.
Previously, she hated herself and didn't like talking to him.
He didn't know what to say to her, so he secretly hid in the shadows and watched her. Even if they didn't say a word, just seeing her filled his heart with happiness.
now!
He walked through the room, down the corridor, and into her bedroom. He looked at the neat and clean bed and desk, but there was no sign of Su Ning. He couldn't even smell her scent in the air.
Fear! Panic! Gu Jingchen felt a pain in his heart. Instead of pressing his hand to his chest, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.
He slowly sat down on the ground, preparing to smoke, when he remembered that this was Ningning's room. He turned around, leaning against the wall, and went out. All his strength seemed to have been drained, and he felt exhausted with every step.
