Chapter 39: Encounter with a Beauty on the Road

  "That's for sure, otherwise you'd be my dad." The old man spoke in a light and airy tone, but his words had an somewhat unseemly feel to them.

  The middle-aged man listened, his old face turned red, lowered his head, and couldn't say a word.

  "Drive," he ordered the driver, but the old man looked out of the window again with his piercing eyes and saw the girl's straight back, as proud as a winter plum blossom, her mouth curving into a faint smile.

  "Have you gone to see her?" Ning Tianhua looked at his wife, who was busy in the kitchen. He had noticed the changes in his wife over the past few days, but he helped to deceive his father by pretending not to know. Ever since he discovered that his daughter had such abilities, all opportunities for recognition were put on hold. Ning Tianhua knew that if his father found out that his wife had gone to see their daughter alone, he would be furious. But he also understood his wife and felt sorry for their wandering daughter, so he helped to keep it a secret. These past few days, he pretended not to know, but as he watched his wife go out every day, he couldn't help but ask.

  Her body trembled, and Lian Hongya, who was still busy, slowly stopped her work, slowly turned her head, and faced her husband.

  Looking at the man who still has an extraordinary charm, her heart ached with a dull pain, her eyebrows furrowed unintentionally, and she pursed her red lips tightly, just looking at her husband without saying a word.

  His wife's trick had always worked on him, but he couldn't help letting out a sigh and rubbing his temples, which were throbbing with pain. In fact, the matter of their daughter was also causing him great distress and inner turmoil. These past few days, he had been constantly thinking of ways to resolve it, but if his wife were to suddenly appear and establish an emotional connection with their daughter, it would only end up disrupting the plan he had originally set in motion.

  Looking at her husband who didn't say a word, Hongya smiled faintly, but no matter how you looked at it, it was a bitter smile. "I know you're in a difficult position, so you can just pretend you don't know. We'll do our own things, I have my own thoughts, and you can't restrict me." Her daughter was a piece of flesh that fell from her body, and under such harsh conditions back then, she had insisted on giving birth to her eldest daughter. In all these years, there wasn't a single day when she didn't regret what she had done back then.

  Looking at his wife's appearance, Ning Tianhua's expression also cracked, and he stretched out his long arm to hold his wife in his arms, his voice hoarse. "She is not only your daughter, she is also my daughter."

  "Yes, she is also your daughter. Since you know that, you shouldn't stop me." She wants to win back her daughter in her own way. She doesn't want the family to do it their way. She's afraid that if they do, it will only push her daughter further away from her arms forever.

  He held his wife tightly in his arms, with a force that was almost too strong, as if the next second, Hongya would be crushed to pieces by Ning Tianhua.

  Until even Hongya's breathing was somewhat uneven and her face flushed with embarrassment, he suddenly came to his senses and let go of her.

  Her feet moved involuntarily a few steps forward, and her eyes calmly looked at her husband. However, Hong Ya's heart was in turmoil.

  One is her husband of many years, the other half that she cannot live without, one is her eldest daughter who owes her eighteen years, a piece of flesh that has fallen from her body, blood ties to this day, inseparable, at this moment, her heart is struggling with a fierce and painful struggle.

  "Our daughter, why is her fate so bumpy." When she couldn't be found, everyone thought about making it up to her well, but when she was found, because of the daughter's ability, they began to plot these things. She is just a girl, and the life of gunfire, bullets, and bloodshed is not suitable for her. But why are these elders so ruthless?

  "Don't be like this, Hong Ya. Ning Er is also my daughter. Believe me, I will think of a way." His voice was low and melancholic, his eyes closed to hide the sourness in them, while his sleeves concealed a pair of tightly clenched fists.

  She no longer goes to the securities company. Now that she has Ji Lan, she doesn't have anything to deal with. The matters at the securities company, as long as there are no major issues, she has all handed over to Ji Lan to handle.

  After teaching Jiang Yu and others a lesson, because she didn't have a mobile phone, she found a public telephone booth and called Ji Lan to arrange an afternoon meeting. Now that it's almost 96 years old, there is still one year left, but the funds that need to be invested in advance are already very large. The funds in her hands, from many people's point of view, can make several generations live a life without worrying about food and clothing, but in the vast stock market, they seem insignificant, like a small stone that can't stir up much waves.

  On the other end of the phone, Ji Lan's voice was a bit choked, and his words were not smooth. Although he tried to hide it, he might have cried for too long, making his throat hoarse. When speaking, his breathing was unstable, directly exposing his emotions. Su Mo didn't ask why, but only said: "Where are you?"

  "I'm at Xinhe Apartment Building 3, No. 9, Section 3, Qingnian Road." After a brief silence, Ji Lan reported a long string of addresses.

  "I'll be right there." She furrowed her brow and hung up the phone. The reason she didn't ask about anything else just now was that she only asked where Ji Lan was, because if she didn't want to say, it would be fine, but if she blurted out the address, then she must be going over there. Thinking of this, her eyes scanned the highway ahead to see if an empty taxi was coming.

  Walked to the side of the road and waited for a while, but didn't see any taxis coming for a long time. Feeling helpless, this place is relatively remote, and taxis rarely pass by at this hour. Instinctively raised my wrist to check the time, only to realize that there was nothing on it. I had been thinking about buying a watch for some time now, but hadn't had the chance yet.

  At that moment, a Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped beside Sumo, the window glass slid down, revealing a fair and charming face, a pair of peach blossom eyes embedded in it, looking enchanting and charming. A neat short hair, with a kind of mesmerizing beauty, because she was sitting in the car, only her upper body could be seen wearing a red thin down jacket, black microblog, a diamond earring on her left ear, her fair skin made this diamond more dazzling.

  "Hey, beautiful lady, where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?" The soft voice and gaze, thin lips curled into a lazy smile, although the words were easily misinterpreted, but coming from her mouth, it was not easy to give people a bad feeling.

  Looking at the woman in front of her, no, to be precise, a "beauty" more beautiful than a woman, Su Mo's mouth curled up, and she actually showed a smile. "Beauty sees you off, what joy is not for." She didn't know why, but towards this person, she couldn't help but feel a good impression, this kind of thing had never happened before, but today it really did happen, and when faced with this "beauty" who was clearly hitting on her with ill intentions, she chose to "enter the tiger's den".

  Facing Su Mo Ruo's straightforwardness, the originally smiling and flirtatious "beauty" had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, possibly being shocked by Su Mo Ruo's directness. In short, he simply stared blankly as Su Mo Ruo got into the passenger seat, unable to utter a single word.

  She raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways, having already taken in the "beauty's" expression, but she pretended not to notice and said lightly, "Aren't you going to drive? Didn't you say you'd send me?"

  "Beauty, isn't it fierce?" If not bursting out in silence, then dying in the explosion. In order to avoid death, he'd better burst out what's on his mind first, otherwise, he'll definitely die miserably.

  Hearing this, Su Mo'er tilted her head to look at the "beauty", "Didn't you just say you'd send me on my way? I think I didn't force you, but rather you took the initiative, and I was forced."

  "You... you woman..." Look, the "beauty" was angry, her white face reddened with rage, her throat choked with anger, unable to utter a single word.

  "What's wrong, having second thoughts? Then I'll get off." He said, and was about to open the car door.

  "Drip——" The car door locked directly, and a pair of eyes stared at Su Mo Ruo, "I suspect you're not a woman." He didn't even ask for her identity, nor did he show any subtlety as a girl should. It was just one sentence, yet she got in the car, and it was said that "he took the initiative, while she reluctantly agreed".
