"Sheng Ning, I’ve noticed you’ve bee shameless since you went to a capitalist country. Did you realize that?" Chen Huaying was overjoyed inside but deliberately put on a stern face and criticized, "How can you say such things so casually? If anyone should say it, it should be me saying it to our Huai’an!"
Su Huai’an, holding his little brother in one arm, leisurely said, "Alright! You say it, I’m listening!"
"Hehehe..." Finally having the chance to boast a little, yet caught by someone, Chen Huaying braced herself, pretending not to understand, and argued, "Professor Su, you need to be subtle, you know?"
"I don’t know, I only know that in front of the girl I like, I can’t be subtle." Heaven knows how he planned everything to make this silly girl willingly walk into his trap.
"I knew you were back, you specifically took leave to e back today, and we all missed you very much!"
"Me too." Sheng Ning decided not to tease her anymore, otherwise, she feared that Chen Huaying might actually walk away. "The New Year is ing, and I plan to visit the General Union Dance Troupe in a few days to see Youli, Dabao, and Teacher Qiu Bai. Do you want to go with me?"
"Yes! Yes!" Chen Huaying nodded happily. She hadn’t been there for a long time either; the last time was during the National Day performance. "We’ll go together; they’ll probably be overjoyed to see you."
"Great!" Sheng Ning figured Wu Youli and the others probably didn’t know she was back yet. However, Teacher Qiu Bai and Yang Wenying definitely knew.
The two chatted for a while, and Sheng Ning then remembered to introduce her two babies to Chen Huaying. The adorable little ones wanted her to hold them the moment they saw her, and surprisingly, Chen Huaying held them quite adeptly.
Su Huai’an watched silently, his eyes brimming with affection.
The Su Family became lively again, and this excitement was expected to last at least a week. Everyone moved from the courtyard to inside, Sheng Ning greeted Su Jiang, and went with Feng Zhenzhen to the study on the second floor.
This used to be the place she used, but it had been rendered unrecognizable by bullets and was now renovated.
Throughout, Feng Zhenzhen seemed to have no presence. When everyone was chatting and reminiscing in the courtyard and playing with the babies, she stood far away, and if Sheng Ning hadn’t caught her with the corner of her eye, she would have thought Zhenzhen hadn’t e in.
As for the bespectacled man from the Ministry of merce, he was left waiting outside.
Once in the study, the first thing Feng Zhenzhen said was, "Family Head, I finally understand why you always wanted to e back."
"Have you figured it out?" Sheng Ning sat in the rattan chair and gestured for Feng Zhenzhen to sit opposite her.
"Yes!" She had been watching from a distance, and it struck her greatly. Growing up in the Feng Family, she never imagined such familial love, friendship, and romance could exist.
Things she found laughable were actually real.
This felt like an overturn of her long-held beliefs, giving her a massive shock, no less than the time she got burnt.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"Nothing." Feng Zhenzhen finally snapped back to reality. The way she performed yesterday, pretending Sheng Ning didn’t exist, had made her nervous, which is why she came to apologize today.
"I’m sorry about yesterday."
"It’s okay. Just remember what I told you before you came back; on the mainland, you represent me." Sheng Ning hoped that one day Zhenzhen could truly step out on her own, so she wouldn’t disappoint their uncle’s instructions to pass the position of Feng Family Patriarch to her.
