Su Chengyue glanced at him impatiently and said sternly:
"Shut down that casino immediately. From today onwards, you don't need to go to the company. I will have someone else take over your work."
Su Yunting burst into hysterical sobs, "No, Dad! I was really wrong, please let me go to the company, I promise I'll work hard from now on!"
Su Chengyue rubbed his temples. "Shut up! This is a hospital. Your older brother is still resting. What are you trying to do by shouting like this?"
"Okay, fine..."
Su Yunting reluctantly shut his mouth and stood up to wipe away his tears.
Su Chengyue walked up to Yan Ning, his eyes filled with admiration, and said:
"Yan Ning, I never expected you to actually know how to tell fortunes. It seems our Su family has finally produced a useful person. I am very pleased."
Yan Ning smiled and said calmly, "I only know a little bit about it. Master is much more capable."
Su Chengyue nodded and said with emotion, "After you were stolen and abandoned at Qingshan Temple, you were adopted by Daoist Xuanqing. It seems that everything is fate. Our Su family has a successor."
Behind the two, a family of four stood in a row, looking somewhat disheveled, with each of them displaying an unpleasant expression.
Especially after hearing Su Chengyue's words, the four men's faces turned even more pale and purplish.
Su Muyao gripped the hem of her clothes, her fingers tightening slightly until her knuckles turned white.
Su Yao stared intently at Yan Ning's back, his eyes filled with resentment, wishing he could tear Yan Ning apart.
Su Yunting was still crying when Jiang Lan nudged him with her elbow and whispered a scolding:
"Useless trash, still crying! Your family fortune is about to be gone."
Su Chengyue turned his head, looked at the four of them, and said in a deep voice:
"Go back, everyone. Yanting needs to rest. Don't disturb him here."
The four people readily agreed and quickly left the ward.
Yan Ning also said goodbye to Su Chengyue and left the ward. Butler Liu followed behind her, frowning as if he was worried.
Yan Ning turned to look at Butler Liu and asked softly, "Uncle Liu, thank you for helping me today, but I might implicate you because Jiang Lan might deliberately target you."
Butler Liu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's alright, Miss. I'm old enough to have seen all kinds of storms. Besides, Master is a reasonable man and won't easily believe other people's slander."
He continued, "It's getting late, let me take you home."
Yan Ning smiled and said, "I'm a little hungry. I'd like to go out for a meal before going home. You can go back first."
Butler Liu nodded. "Okay, then come back soon."
Jiang Lan and Su Muyao watched the two talking from behind with resentful expressions.
Su Muyao said angrily, "She's only been here a short time, and she's already bribed Uncle Liu."
"Uncle Liu watched us grow up, and he's not on our side at all! He's helping someone who's only been home for half a month, it makes me so angry!"
Jiang Lan was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect Su Yanning to be so capable, knowing how to tell fortunes and win people's hearts."
"Your good-for-nothing father is utterly useless; he was brought down by a mere blonde girl."
"We need to deal with Su Yanning quickly, otherwise she'll become more and more arrogant and might even drive our whole family away!"
Su Muyao's eyes lit up, and she asked, "So what should we do now?"
Jiang Lan's gaze fell on Uncle Liu's retreating figure, and she said coldly:
"Let's start with this disobedient old man."
——
After leaving the hospital, Yan Ning took a taxi to the night market she had been longing to visit.
The night market was very lively, with all kinds of stalls crowding both sides of the street.
The flashing lights illuminated the entire night market as if it were daytime.
Yan Ning casually walked to a barbecue stall.
The barbecue stall owner was a middle-aged man with a warm smile on his face. He skillfully flipped the meat skewers on the grill.
Yan Ning said, "Boss, a few skewers of barbecue, please."
The owner greeted her warmly, "Alright, beautiful lady, what would you like to eat? We have lamb skewers, chicken wings, potato chips, and grilled eggplant."
"Give me five lamb skewers, two chicken wings, and three potato slices."
After Yan Ning finished speaking, she found a seat and sat down.
A moment later, the owner brought over the barbecue and placed it on the table in front of her.
The lamb skewers sizzled with oil, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, emitting an enticing aroma.
Yan Ning ate with relish. There were quite a few people sitting at the stall having a late-night snack. At the next table, a few burly men were drinking beer and eating barbecue.
One of the shirtless men saw Yan Ning, narrowed his eyes, and said to the person next to him:
"This girl is pretty; it looks like she's the same person."
The bearded man nodded. "Probably. She looks very young. Shall we strike up a conversation?"
The two stood up, walked over to Yan Ning, and asked with smiles:
"Little sister, you're out eating barbecue alone? Why don't you come eat with us?"
Yan Ning shook her head and said calmly, "No need, I'll leave after I finish eating."
Seeing this, the shirtless man still wouldn't give up and continued:
"Let's eat together. We won't do anything to you, don't worry!"
The bearded man next to him laughed, "Haha, that's right, we're all good people! We just wanted to get to know you."
Yan Ning looked up at the two of them and said in a firm tone:
"I said no, and that's final. Don't you understand?"
Just then, the owner walked over and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, the little girl looks so young, how about we skip it and I treat you to a few more skewers of grilled meat instead?"
