Su Ning was never one to easily follow others' opinions.
Su Xincheng had opposed her relationship with Gu Jingchen back then, but she just wouldn't listen.
Thinking about it, Su Xincheng's opposition was not wrong.
The Gu family looked down on them, mother and daughter, and Gu Ran even stirred up trouble among them, causing the Gu family elders to dislike her.
If she had actually married Gu Jingchen back then, her married life probably wouldn't have been so pleasant.
If Gu Jingchen hadn't been so persistent and devoted to her, she wouldn't be with him now.
As for Xu Sheng, if he were to object, he probably wouldn't have the right to!
Knowing that Gu Jingchen was the guest, Xu Bai canceled his own social engagements for the evening. In the hotel private room, he sat below Mr. Xu.
Footsteps could be heard outside, heading in their direction.
Xu Bai glanced at Mr. Xu beside him, whose face had darkened, coughed twice, and put on airs.
The door to the private room was pushed open from the outside by the waiter. The first thing Xu Bai and Mr. Xu saw was not Gu Jingchen, but Su Ning sitting in a wheelchair.
Neither of them expected Su Ning to come along. When they saw Su Ning, they felt guilty about this trap set for Gu Jingchen.
Xu Bai quickly stood up, smiling as he went to grab the wheelchair.
"Ningning, you're here."
He spoke to Su Ning with a smile. Although they hadn't known each other for long, their tacit understanding and familiarity were comparable to that of Gu Jingchen.
"Um!"
When Su Ning saw him, a genuine and joyful smile appeared on her face.
She hated Mr. Xu, but she genuinely liked Xu Bai, and this liking came inexplicably, surpassing her feelings for the eldest and second young masters of the Xu family.
Perhaps they are half-siblings.
As the wheelchair was pushed away, Gu Jingchen, who was walking at the back, greeted Xu Bai, but was completely ignored. Looking at Mr. Xu, not to mention a single glance, all his attention was on Su Ning.
"Come, sit here!"
Mr. Xu pursed his lips, the joy unconsciously flowing from his heart.
Su Ning has been in the capital for so long, but we've only eaten together a few times; every meal has been at the Xu family's old residence.
He had an appointment with Gu Jingchen today, and when he saw Su Ning arrive, he was surprised, but mostly happy.
More than 20 years have passed, and he has certainly imagined the day when his son and daughter are by his side!
Well, there's now an eye-catching Gu Jingchen.
Su Ning ignored Mr. Xu's invitation and sat down next to Xu Bai, with Gu Jingchen sitting on her other side.
After the four people sat down, Mr. Xu asked Xu Bai to add a few more dishes.
They invited Gu Jingchen, and they casually ordered a few dishes, not intending to have a proper meal with him. Who knows, they might end up kicking Gu Jingchen out during the meal.
With Su Ning added to the menu, Mr. Xu held it and wished he could order every single delicious dish on it.
"Mr. Xu!"
Su Ning wasn't there to eat. She watched as Mr. Xu and Xu Bai ordered food with the waiter and spoke first, "What do you want to say? Just say it!"
"Let's eat and chat while the food is served."
Mr. Xu replied, his already stunning face softening with a smile as he spoke to Su Ning, his eyes becoming even gentler.
It was a rare opportunity, one he had never even dreamed of.
"Ningning, what would you like to drink?" Xu Bai asked. The fact that Su Ning was his half-sister made him feel a little dazed, as if she were his biological sister!
"You're hungry, let's eat here." Gu Jingchen could tell that Mr. Xu and Xu Bai were being nice to Su Ning. It was mealtime, and if they left, they would have to find something to eat on their own.
It's perfectly normal for a father to treat his daughter and son-in-law to a meal!
