Сhарter 12: Milk Sеnt fоr Теsting
Аfter finishing everуthing, Su Nuаnnuan went tо sit at the dining tаblе, lightlу tаррing her fingеrs оn thе tаbletoр.
It seemed she nееded tо find а wау tо go оut tоdаy. Hеr tеaсher had alrеadу returned to thе cаpitаl, but thеre was а laboratоrу hеrе in City В. Shе соuld ask her tеaсher for hеlp.
“Nuannuаn, why arе you up sо еаrly tоdаy?” Su Rongfeng wаs quite surрrisеd to seе the yоung girl sitting at thе dining tаblе eаrly in the mоrning.
“Couldn’t slеер, so I got up,” Su Nuannuan replied, рulling оut a chair for Su Rоngfеng to sit.
Su Rongfeng оbsеrved his daughter, feeling that since she returned after falling into the water, she had become increasingly well-behaved, with an occasional expression in her eyes that he couldn’t quite understand.
Su Rongfeng patted her head and said, “Couldn’t sleep? Are you feeling unwell? How about having your eldest brother take you to the hospital for a check-up later? We don’t want any lingering effects.”
“Dad, I’m fine. I’ve just been having nightmares lately. I’ll feel better if I go out for a walk,” Su Nuannuan casually brushed it off.
“I think she just wants to go out and have fun,” Su Yun said, sitting down to her left, scrutinizing her sharply.
Lately, her second brother’s words had become increasingly sharp. Why was he always watching her so closely? Had he noticed something unusual?
“Hehe, Second Brother saw right through me. I’m so bored staying at home every day. Dad, please talk to Mom and let me go out for a walk,” Su Nuannuan said, hugging Su Rongfeng’s arm and gently shaking it.
“You’re such a big girl now, still acting spoiled. Aren’t you embarrassed?” Su Rongfeng ruffled the girl’s hair. Time flew by so fast—she had grown up in the blink of an eye, and he had grown old.
“Please, Dad,” the girl persisted, not letting go of Su Rongfeng’s hand and continuing to act coquettish.
“Alright, alright, I’ll talk to your mother later,” Su Rongfeng agreed repeatedly.
“Talk to me about what?” Lin Shuyao slowly descended the stairs.
Despite being in her fifties and approaching sixty, her mother looked as youthful and beautiful as a thirty-year-old, thanks to her meticulous skincare.
“Dad said Mom is getting younger and more beautiful every day,” Su Nuannuan blurted out the compliment without hesitation.
“Hmph, if you annoyed me less, I’d look even younger. Tell me, what mischief are you planning now?” Lin Shuyao looked at her with feigned annoyance.
“I’m just too bored at home and want to go out for a walk. I’m all grown up now, Mom…” Su Nuannuan looked at Lin Shuyao pleadingly.
“Why not come to your big brother’s company and help me out?” Su Lin suggested, ruffling her hair.
Su Nuannuan twitched her lips. She definitely didn’t want to do that—it would be even more boring than staying at home. Besides, she had more important things to do today.
“I think Big Brother’s suggestion is excellent. You should start learning how to manage the company,” Su Yun agreed wholeheartedly, eager to offload the company’s tedious tasks onto her.
“No, thanks. I graduated from the University of Science and Technology and have no interest in the company,” Su Nuannuan waved her hand dismissively.
Su Manjing, who had just taken her seat, clenched her fists tightly. This was exactly why she disliked Su Nuannuan—things others dreamed of having meant nothing to her.
The Su family claimed to treat her like their own daughter, but the difference in treatment was clear. Su Nuannuan didn’t have to do anything, yet her dowry was already prepared.
The entertainment company under the Su Group was a goldmine, something Su Manjing dreamed of owning. However, the legal ownership had been transferred to Su Nuannuan two years ago when she came of age.Why is it that she doesn’t have to do anything yet gets to have everything, while no matter how hard she tries, she ends up with nothing—even having to curry favor with the servants of the Su family?
“I think so too. If the company were handed over to you, it would lose everything down to its last penny,” Su Yun said lightly.
Su Nuannuan pouted. Who did he think he was looking down on? She had studied economics too, okay? There weren’t many top students like her anymore.
“There’s no rush. Nuannuan hasn’t graduated yet. It’s not too late for her to help after she finishes her studies,” Su Lin said calmly.
Actually, she could already graduate. She learned quickly, and her teacher hoped she would stay and work on research projects with him.
Before, her mind had been completely focused on Qi Mubai. Thinking back, she had chosen the University of Science and Technology for the sake of her dreams.
Looking back now, it was truly laughable—she had given up her dreams for a scumbag.
“I’ve made up my mind,” Su Nuannuan suddenly exclaimed, slamming the table and startling everyone.
“Su Nuannuan, are you having a fit?” Su Yun patted the milk off his suit.
“Hehe, I got a little too excited. Sorry, Second Brother, my bad. I’ve made up my mind—I’m going to the University of Science and Technology. Thank you, Big Brother…”
Su Lin and Su Yun wiped the saliva off their cheeks in confusion. Had she hit her head when she fell into the water a few days ago?
“Big Brother, you should take her to get her head checked.”
It took Su Yun a while to snap out of it. This sister of his had been acting stranger and stranger lately. She used to avoid him, but now she was becoming less and less afraid of him.
“Nuannuan, where are you going without eating breakfast?”
Su Lin watched as the girl hurried upstairs, changed her clothes, and ran out. The whole family stared at her—was she acting up again so early in the morning?
“I’m going out. I’ll be back tonight.” As Su Nuannuan bent down to change her shoes, Lin Shuyao grabbed her by the collar.
“You little brat, do you think I don’t exist?”
“Mom, I’m going to the lab. I’ll be back tonight. Mwah…” The girl planted a few kisses on her mother’s cheek and slipped away.
“That girl,” Lin Shuyao sighed. When she was little, they couldn’t wait for her to grow up, but now that she had, they worried she’d cause trouble.
“Alright, Shuyao. Our daughter has grown up, and it’s good that she has her own ideas. Our Su family can certainly afford to support her.”
Since the last incident, Su Rongfeng had come to terms with it. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
If she really liked that boy Qi Mubai—even though his background wasn’t great—as long as he treated his daughter well, he would agree to it.
“You just spoil her!” Lin Shuyao sighed.
Su Manjing gripped her milk cup tightly. Su Nuannuan always managed to draw everyone’s attention without even trying, while she herself felt like a clown.
Su Manjing stared at the empty milk cup. Soon, once Su Nuannuan was gone, everything in the Su family would be hers.
“Manjing, after you finish eating, come shopping with me.”
Lin Shuyao looked at her obedient younger daughter sitting at the dining table. Although she wasn’t her biological child, she had raised her since she was little, and there was always some affection there.
Hearing Lin Shuyao’s words, Su Manjing quickly snapped back to reality. Su Nuannuan, just you wait. One day, I’ll take everything you have.
“I know, Mom,” Su Manjing said, quickly hiding the jealousy in her eyes.
After leaving the Su family, Su Nuannuan took a taxi directly to the experimental base in City B.She had already called her teacher on the way, and her teacher had connections here who agreed to help.
The experimental base in B City was very quiet. Only after receiving permission did Su Nuannuan enter the experimental center. The security here was extremely strict—without her teacher’s help, she truly wouldn’t have been able to get in.
