Chapter 15: The Fake Daughter of a Prominent Family
"I was bored and had to come over to help."
Ah Da quickly shook his head and pointed at the horse that had become a little agitated upon seeing Su Youran:
"Help the young lady take care of Zhuifeng. Its injury is not serious and it will be fine after a while."
Su Youran fed Zhuifeng some candy:
"I didn't have time to ask yesterday. What happened to it? Where was it injured?"
Ah Da glanced in the direction of the racecourse:
"For some reason there was a piece of glass on the ground. Maybe it cut my leg when I was running. I fell down because of the sudden pain."
In fact, he still had some doubts in his mind. Why was there such a coincidence that there was a piece of glass fragment on the field?
The only person who could afford to use glass in the Su Mansion was the owner of the main building. The horse farm was behind the main building. Ah Da had specifically inquired about it and found out that, apart from the eldest son Su Yu who would occasionally come here to ride horses, it was rare to see other members of the Su family coming here.
The servants would not go to the stable except for daily cleaning.
So the appearance of the fragments was really a bit abrupt. But Ah Da had been thinking about it since yesterday and couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Su Youran's decision to ride a horse was really sudden. From the moment she proposed horse racing to Ye Jiuzhou, all the way to horse selection and the race, Ah Da followed her everywhere. He didn't notice anything wrong, nor did he notice anyone deliberately approaching the horse farm.
So maybe he was really overthinking it.
I don't know why, but Ada always thinks about things in a conspiracy theory way and is very wary of people.
He thought that it might be because the environment he lived in before was often dangerous and complicated.
Su Youran touched Zhuifeng with a distressed look:
"Poor little thing, it hurts, doesn't it? If I had known, I wouldn't have raced horses. I didn't want to let you suffer for nothing."
Ah Da's eyes were unusually gentle: "Miss, you were also frightened and almost injured."
He paused, not sure whether he should ask: "That Ye Jiuzhou..."
Su Youran pouted slightly:
"I was engaged to him when I was born. My parents advised me to get along with him, so I decided to try to get along with him."
A Da lowered his eyelids. It was normal for the Ye family and the Su family to be wary.
For a person without family background or even memory, it would be a pipe dream for him to compare himself with her.
But, he was really unwilling...
Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a long time, Su Youran waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, "Ada? Ada, what are you thinking about?"
Ah Da raised his eyes to look at Su Youran. She was still smiling so brightly. He wanted to protect her smile and wanted her to keep smiling at him like that.
"Miss, I want to try to find my family."
In the past, family was not important to him at all, he just wanted to be with his lady.
But now he wants to look for it.
Ah Da had a feeling that his family background must be extraordinary because he was used to everything he saw in the Su Mansion, even the toilets and bathroom heaters that the servants were so proud of, he used them very smoothly.
It's not that he got used to using them abroad, but it was natural for him to use them as soon as he woke up from the hospital.
He was familiar with eating Western food, making phone calls and sending telegrams. He could read and even speak simple foreign languages.
After all, since he can go abroad, his family at least has money and certain connections.
It was just that he was robbed as soon as he arrived abroad, and all his belongings were stolen, leaving him without even any proof of his identity.
If he hadn't met the lady who helped him get money and pave the way, Ada would have been able to only do odd jobs abroad.
Su Youran was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
"I was just about to ask you, did you remember anything? I'll ask my eldest brother to help you find it."
Ah Da shook his head:
"I didn't remember anything, but I felt that I must be from Sucheng. I felt familiar with this place. On the way back that day, I felt that I had been to those places before."
"My eldest brother also thought you looked familiar. I asked him to do a thorough investigation and try to find your family as soon as possible!"
Su Youran smiled with her eyebrows curved:
"That's great. I was originally worried about whether it would be a bad idea to let you follow me back to Sucheng, but I didn't expect you to come back. You haven't been heard from for several years, your family must be worried sick."
Ah Da followed suit and smiled, but thought to himself, that’s not necessarily true, maybe there are people who don’t want him to go back.
Otherwise, how could he be robbed as soon as he arrived abroad? And he was also beaten and seriously injured.
A Da never believed that it was just an accident from the beginning, but because he met the lady, he never thought of pursuing the matter.
Now he wants to go back. He wants to have the ability to compete with Ye Jiuzhou, which will inevitably lead to a conflict with those who want to harm him.
However, he will definitely not be the loser this time.
Huo Family
Huo Zhenyao took the information his men had collected and asked, "Is it Miss Su?"
The subordinate stood one step away with his head lowered, and reported respectfully:
"Yes, Ye Jiuzhou has been engaged to the eldest daughter of the Su family since he was young, but neither family has publicized it. Now, first the third young master of the Su family announced publicly that he is Ye Jiuzhou's brother-in-law, and then Ye Jiuzhou visited the Su Mansion. It is said that he stayed at the Su Mansion until very late. It should be preparing for a public announcement."
Huo Zhenyao snorted and laughed: "He is really lucky."
He was born a winner in life, inherited the Ye family at a young age, and is now about to have a beautiful wife.
Huo Zhenyao thought of that lotus-like face and that arrogant look that looked down on others, and he couldn't help but tighten his grip on the information.
Having a fiancée like that is really enviable...
The subordinate seemed to be hesitant to speak, but Huo Zhenyao was impatient: "Just say whatever you want to say!"
The subordinate was startled. The Second Young Master was not a good-tempered person. He quickly replied:
"According to the information we have inquired, the Su family seems to be preparing a banquet to celebrate Miss Su's return home."
Huo Zhenyao's eyes flickered. Banquet? I can see her again...
"If you send an invitation, bring it directly to me."
The men quickly responded.
Huo Zhenyao waved his hand and waited for his men to leave. He then carefully looked over the information in his hand again.
In fact, there is nothing recorded in it, just some simple experiences of Su Youran that are known to outsiders.
For example, what year you were born, where you went to school, when you left the country, etc.
But the most important thing is that there is a photo of Su Youran inside.
The photo was taken when she was talking to Sude on the street on the day she returned to China. There happened to be a reporter there who specialized in taking photos of movie stars.
When I saw Su Youran, I thought she was a new star, and I pressed the shutter out of professional instinct.
Su Youran knew about this, but she didn’t care. She was used to being noticed, and she had many suitors when she was abroad.
In fact, because her delicate, doll-like oriental face was even more conspicuous among the blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, and foreigners were much more open and straightforward than Chinese people, Su Youran encountered countless suitors.
There are also people who always follow her to and from school.
It was also thanks to the fact that she had A Da by her side, who helped her block a large number of suitors.
After the reporter developed the photo, he didn't know who it was and didn't know if he could publish it. But someone from the Huo family found out and bought it back at a high price, even the film.
Huo Zhenyao looked at the photo of a girl wearing a goose yellow dress with a noble and dignified posture, and thought that this subordinate did a good job and deserved a mention.
Huo Zhenyao stroked the girl's face in the photo, but his heart felt more and more empty. He had never experienced this feeling as if something was missing.
He wanted to see her again, wanted her eyes to stay on him, wanted...
Huo Zhenyao's eyes gradually became deeper, he wanted to replace Ye Jiuzhou's position beside her!
A sudden noise outside the study interrupted Huo Zhenyao's thoughts. He carefully put the photo into his inner pocket, then stood up, opened the door, and asked the servant beside him in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
The servant trembled in fear: "It's...it's the Madam who is ill again..."
Huo Zhenyao's expression became even colder. He paused, then walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
The study was on the second floor. At this moment, in the hall on the first floor, a graceful and slender woman was looking around anxiously, shouting:
"Xun'er, Xun'er? Xun'er, where are you? It's time to go home for dinner. Xun'er, be good and come out quickly. Don't play hide-and-seek with your mother anymore."
After calling for a long time without seeing her "Xun'er" come out, the woman became very angry again. She picked up the vase on the cabinet next to her and smashed it down. The vase shattered to the ground with a "crash".
The woman seemed not to notice and was about to step on it. The servants around were so scared that they almost lost their souls. If the Madam was hurt, they would probably die. They tried their best to stop her:
"Madam, Madam! The eldest master is not over there. He is taking a nap in his room. Have you forgotten?"
The woman was startled and repeated her words: "Xun'er is taking a nap?"
The servant nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, ma'am, the young master is in the room, please come this way."
The woman seemed to be comforted. She turned around and was about to walk in the direction the servant said, but she happened to see Huo Zhenyao coming down the stairs.
The woman's expression was confused for a moment, then a little ferocious, and she pointed at Huo Zhenyao:
"Who is he? Who is he! Why is he in my house? Get him out! Get him out now!"
She started to get irritable again, even furious. She picked up a metal object beside her and threw it at Huo Zhenyao. Even the servants couldn't stop her.
Huo Zhenyao dodged easily with a sway of his body.
The woman looked around, as if she was looking for something to smash, when a man hurried in from the direction of the gate.
The man had a serious face and sharp eyes. Although he had white hair around his ears, he still looked energetic.
He walked around the broken vase and hugged the mad woman, comforting her softly:
"Yuanyuan, relax. I'm sorry I came back late. Did you wait too long? I brought you your favorite snacks. Try them and see if they still taste the same."
