The old man called for dinner, but there was still work to be done at the restaurant. Xu Jiang and Madam Xu would go later, and the eldest and second young masters of Xu had business at their companies and would go after get off work. The old mansion sent Butler Liu to pick up Su Ning first, saying that the old man missed her.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the old house, Su Ning, who had been pushed out of the car, saw a black sedan already waiting beside her.
The old man probably invited Xu Sheng and the others over for a get-together.
The old house had an old-fashioned layout. After Su Ning returned, the old man ordered people to repair all the roads and steps in the old house to make it easier for Su Ning to get around.
The main hall and bedrooms have been renovated, but the dining annex is an old-style building with a high threshold at the entrance, and the workers haven't reached that side yet.
Previously, Su Ning would go directly into the annex from the bedroom through the corridor, without crossing the high threshold.
The wheelchair she used today was lightweight, and the maid was there to lift it over the threshold without any problem.
The threshold was higher than usual, and the servants still had some difficulty lifting it.
"I'll help you."
A gentle voice came from behind, and Su Ning turned her head to see Xu Huanyan and Madam Xu appear in front of her. Xu Huanyan took the initiative to help carry it.
Madam Xu did not stop her, but smiled and took a step back in her wheelchair.
They had arrived long ago. When Old Mrs. Xu learned that the old man and Xu Jiang had accepted Su Ning, she was so angry that she didn't want to stay at the Xu family home anymore.
Su Ning wanted to refuse Xu Huanyan's help. The two of them were half-sisters, but their relationship wasn't very good.
Looking down, Su Ning saw that Xu Huanyan was indeed helping to lift her wheelchair, and she did not stop her.
As the wheelchair was lifted over the threshold and lowered, Su Ning felt it suddenly flip forward, and she inevitably fell to the ground.
With several loud thuds, not only Su Ning fell to the ground, but also Xu Huanyan, who was holding onto her wheelchair.
The other two servants also staggered several steps to the side due to the impact.
"Joyful Smile!"
When Madam Xu saw Xu Huanyan fall to the ground, she quickly went over to help her up.
As she helped Xu Huanyan up, she glanced at Su Ning on the ground.
Su Ning has difficulty walking, but her arm strength has improved over the years through training, and her reflexes are more agile than the average person.
When the wheelchair tilted forward, she reached out to support herself and then rolled to the side to quickly sit up on the ground.
Fortunately, the wheelchair wasn't heavy, and it didn't cause her any real harm when it rolled over.
However, without help, she had difficulty climbing back onto the chair.
Impatient footsteps approached. As Su Ning pressed down on the wheelchair, waiting for the maid to help her up, the man at the door saw Su Ning on the ground, strode in, and hurriedly lifted her into the wheelchair.
"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Xu Bai, who had come with the old man and the old lady, heard the noise from the annex and, for some reason, quickened his pace.
After placing Su Ning in the wheelchair, Xu Bai picked up the blanket from the floor and gently covered her legs with it.
When Xu Bai's hand touched her legs, his fingers trembled slightly. When he held her earlier, he realized how light she was.
"fine!"
Su Ning smiled at Xu Bai. There was a tacit understanding between the two of them; they felt a sense of closeness when they saw each other.
"What happened?"
Xu Bai stood up and questioned the two maids who were taking care of Su Ning in a calm voice.
This young master of the Xu family was known for his gentle temperament and always treated the servants with a smile. But when they saw his face turn cold, the two servants hurriedly lowered their heads.
