"I did not acknowledge her!"
Mr. Xu glanced at Mrs. Xu, his voice turning cold, and then issued the order to leave, "Is there anything else?"
Mrs. Xu hadn't finished arguing yet.
Even though Mr. Xu had already compromised with her, she became even more furious and enraged.
Over the years, Xu Sheng has never argued with her once, not even blushed. He seems gentle, but in reality, he is aloof and indifferent.
Twenty years is enough time to wear down a person's love for another!
However, she had to be constantly wary of this man.
Now that Su Ning has come looking for her, she panics! What if Su Xincheng also comes to the capital...?
The sound of a door being slammed shut interrupted Madam Xu's thoughts.
"Come in!"
Mr. Xu spoke up, saying that he had always knocked before entering his study, and they all did so, except for Mrs. Xu.
"Dad." The door to the room opened, and Xu Bai, who had just entered, was taken aback when he saw that Madam Xu was also in the study.
"Mother."
He called out in response.
Xu Bai, who was not raised by his parents, felt an inexplicable closeness to Mr. Xu, but he wanted to distance himself from and escape from Mrs. Xu.
"Xiao Bai, are you here to talk to your father about business?"
Mrs. Xu said with a smile, then, noticing that Xu Bai was wearing a shirt, she softened her voice and said with concern, "It's cold at night, you should wear a coat when you go out of the room."
"Thank you, Mom." Xu Bai felt somewhat helpless about the awkwardness between mother and son.
He walked up to Mr. Xu and said, "Gu Jingchen is here."
"What are you doing here!"
Mr. Xu spoke up. He had been cold and indifferent when he argued with Mrs. Xu before, but now that he heard Gu Jingchen's voice, his anger flared up.
"They said they were looking for Miss Xu."
Gu Jingchen must have heard rumors about the Xu family's family reunion banquet tonight, and he must know that the new Miss Xu is in a wheelchair and has lost her legs.
So he came.
He was unaware that Su Ning had already been taken to the secluded garden by Xu Jiang and his wife.
"Get them out of here."
Mr. Xu said in a calm voice.
Xu Bai had originally planned to do the same, but...
"Huanyan has already gone downstairs to look for him."
When Gu Jingchen came over, he only said he was looking for Miss Xu. Xu Huanyan, upon hearing this, assumed he was looking for her and happily went out.
"Bring Huanyan back."
Mr. Xu turned to look at Mrs. Xu.
Madam Xu chuckled lightly, "Huanyan likes him, and it's a good thing that he came to see her."
After saying that, Madam Xu turned and left.
Xu Bai disliked Madam Xu's statement, believing that pursuit should be based on the premise that neither party has a spouse or lover.
Xu Huanyan knew perfectly well about the relationship between Gu Jingchen and Su Ning, yet she insisted on pursuing him. This wasn't love! In the end, she was likely the one who would be hurt the most.
"dad……"
Xu Bai looked at Mr. Xu. He wasn't there to ask Mr. Xu whether or not Gu Jingchen should be kicked out, but rather to ask whether or not to tell Gu Jingchen about Su Ning's whereabouts.
Gu Jingchen may dislike or hate her, but it cannot be denied that he is deeply in love with Su Ning.
"Go and handle it."
Mr. Xu tacitly agreed, and as Xu Bai turned around, he was stopped by him.
"Together!"
Mr. Xu stood up, took his coat from the back of the chair, and went with Xu Bai to see Gu Jingchen.
Xu Bai didn't quite understand Mr. Xu's actions. Gu Jingchen was relentlessly attacking the Xu family, insisting that they were the ones who had harmed Su Ning. His own father was very dissatisfied with Gu Jingchen.
On the other hand, his biological father told him to handle the competition with the Gu family properly, not to fight Gu Jingchen to the end.
Look, she seems to be being "bullied" by Gu Jingchen.
