CHAPTER 1078: CHAPTER 1080: OUT OF MY LEAGUE

"No, I’m just wondering, will it be Brother Lie coming to pick us up, or Brother Cheng?"

Xu Nianhua responded casually, pondering in her heart how to prepare for this.

"Honestly, does Brother Lie feel that Pei Yicheng stole his sister, so he deliberately becomes the third wheel?" Su Xi leaned in, scrutinizing Xu Nianhua; women in love are truly different, their eyes shine brightly.

Since Xu Nianhua changed the way she addressed him, Su Xi followed suit and started calling him Brother Lie too.

"You’re overthinking, maybe Brother Lie just happens to be free?" Xu Nianhua replied offhandedly. If it’s her second brother, she believed he could pull a stunt like this.

Ever since she started dating Pei Yicheng, her second brother talked her ear off, saying girls should cherish themselves and not let Pei Yicheng take advantage.

"Ah!"

Su Xi was just sipping water when she heard Xu Nianhua’s comment and nearly choked. Brother Lie is incredibly busy; if he didn’t care about Xu Nianhua, he wouldn’t be tagging along for a meal and insisting on taking her along.

She always felt like she was an extra; Sister Manyin wasn’t available, so she was pulled in to make up the numbers.

...

"Guozhong, something incredible has happened! I heard some earth-shattering news!"

Wan Hongxing hurriedly placed the groceries on the table, excitedly sharing the news she just heard.

"Be careful, don’t fall." Having been discharged for some time, Pei Guozhong can now stand and walk independently, although he needs a stick and moves more slowly.

"It’s fine, you don’t know, this news will definitely shock you!"

Wan Hongxing helped him sit down, saying, "Sit tight."

"I’ve weathered many storms, what haven’t I seen?" Pei Guozhong thought Wan Hongxing was making too much of a fuss, just as he was about to take a sip of hot tea.

Wan Hongxing sat there, looking excited but saying nothing.

"Tell me, what big news?" Pei Guozhong took a sip of hot tea and looked at Wan Hongxing.

Wan Hongxing glanced at the hot tea in his hand and said, "I’ll tell you after you finish your tea."

"What on earth is the news?" Pei Guozhong started feeling curious; what could make Wan Hongxing so surprised?

Wan Hongxing cleared her throat and said, "The Su Family’s daughter has been found."

"Su Family? Which Su Family?" Pei Guozhong’s eyes flashed, saying, "It wouldn’t be that Su Family, would it?"

In Ningbei, the Su Family’s name is well-known, rumored to have officials in their ancestry, who amassed great wealth. Even during turbulent times, the Su Family donated a lot to China, and with Su Jinrong’s exceptional skills, no matter the times, the family thrived. Currently, their jade business is a benchmark in Ningbei, and the Orient Hotel is considered the epitome of high-end accommodation.

If entertaining guests or hosting banquets, securing a reservation at the Orient Hotel would bestow great prestige.

The Su Family doesn’t just run these two businesses; they’re involved in various businesses related to daily life. The young Su Lie has taken over the family business, elevating it further, while Su Yan didn’t enter business but is renowned in the medical field.

"It’s precisely that Su Family." Wan Hongxing assured him.

Pei Guozhong furrowed his brows and said, "The Su Family hasn’t lost a daughter."

According to the information he knows, the Su Family didn’t lose a daughter.

"The Su Family indeed didn’t lose a daughter; however, they had a daughter who passed away earlier."

Wan Hongxing hadn’t finished speaking before Pei Guozhong couldn’t help but roll his eyes, saying, "There’s no way a deceased daughter can come back to life?"
