Chapter 468: Chapter 472: Rebirth in the Apocalypse (9)

After finishing the tasks at hand, Su Guosheng then opened the letter to read it.

Inside, it was still all about mundane family matters, with the most mentions being of Fu Gui’s beloved daughter.

Su Guosheng was not unfamiliar with his niece, Su Li, he even knew that she had had a wisdom tooth removed at the hospital recently.

This was his rare moment of leisure and relaxation.

Aside from some unmentionable issues that troubled him, internal matters within the Su Family also worried him.

Only his eldest son, whom he had raised himself, brought him any comfort, the other children... better left unsaid.

Just as he finished reading the letter and was about to start writing a reply, a guard hurried in with another letter.

"Chief, an encrypted letter has just been urgently sent up."

Su Guosheng’s pupils suddenly dilated, his heart pounding rapidly, and his soft expression was immediately replaced by a cold one.

He lowered his voice, with a hint of urgency, "Bring it here."

Things that weren’t extremely urgent wouldn’t involve Fu Gui using the encryption key.

A myriad of thoughts raced through Su Guosheng’s mind, with many ominous premonitions surfacing.

According to their agreement, the letter was already placed on his desk, it was hard to imagine what could have made Fu Gui use the emergency channel and quickly send another letter.

After opening the envelope, just seeing the first line, Su Guosheng’s breathing involuntarily quickened.

His hands trembled, yet he tightly gripped the sides of the letter.

With his eyes skimming rapidly over the lines, his face went red, his tone filled with immense excitement that he couldn’t completely suppress, no matter how hard he tried.

"Go, ask Shaoqing to come see me... no, no, no, inform him to come in the afternoon instead, get a car ready for me now, I need to visit the old man."

---------------

"Shaoqing, how can sister be so outstanding? I am nothing compared to her, it seems like Daddy and Mommy favor her a bit more."

Chen Yuanyuan nestled in Shaoqing’s arms, looking up imploringly at her fiancé, hoping for some comfort.

After listening to the girl’s words, Su Shaoqing furrowed his brows, then looked earnestly into Chen Yuanyuan’s eyes and said, "The reason your sister is so outstanding is entirely due to her hard work, twelve-fold. You should admire and feel happy about it, such a naturally gifted and diligent person is your own sister."

"From what I’ve observed, your parents treat you and your sister equally, it’s not that... in fact, they pay more attention to you."

"Compared to your sister’s independence, which doesn’t require much worrying from them, they might focus a bit more on you. How did you come to the conclusion that they favor your sister more?"

Chen Yuanyuan bit her lip, her face so red it nearly dripped blood, her eyes filling with tears, her voice choked, "How, how can you say that?"

Su Shaoqing was puzzled; he didn’t understand what was wrong with what he had just said, as he believed it was an analysis thoughtfully made.

"But I didn’t say anything wrong."

Chen Yuanyuan didn’t want to hear the dry facts he was stating; she only wanted to hear what matched her feelings.

"You don’t understand, my sister is like an elegant swan, and I’m just an ugly duckling...."

With her words carrying the flavor of a romance novel dialogue, it not only failed to stir any emotional chord in Su Shaoqing but rather left him perplexed, or perhaps his vocabulary simply lacked the word "emotional."

Su Shaoqing: "I don’t understand why you belittle yourself."

"Even though you aren’t as beautiful as your sister, as talented as her, or as independent and strong...." but you are you, uniquely you.

Su Shaoqing didn’t manage to finish his words when Chen Yuanyuan interrupted him, crying.

"You, you are so mean. Since you also think my sister is good, let her be your fiancée."

After dropping such a sentence, Chen Yuanyuan covered her face and walked away, leaving Su Shaoqing standing stunned, utterly unaware of where he went wrong.

Chen Yuanyuan’s romantic, delicate heart met Su Shaoqing’s stiff, straightforward steel heart, inevitably leading to a gruesome car wreck.

Even though Su Shaoqing couldn’t understand, he knew that Chen Yuanyuan was angry. Thinking that she was his fiancée and the woman he was to spend his life with, he decided to coax her back.

Although he didn’t know how to coax.

He silently took out his phone, ready to search Baidu for tips on how to appease a girl.

At that moment, as he took out his phone, the screen lit up with a call from his father’s bodyguard.

Chen Yuanyuan’s face lit up after receiving Su Shaoqing’s call.

She thought to herself, "At least he’s sensible enough to apologize to me."

However, the call didn’t start with an apology but a dry statement that he had urgent matters to handle.

He might not be able to meet her for several days. Frustrated, Chen Yuanyuan tugged her hair, infuriated.

Everyone envied her for being Young Master Su’s fiancée, but they didn’t know that Young Master Su was just a cold, unromantic rigid man.

"Xiao Rou, let’s go out and have fun. My sister just won another international award, and Mom and Dad are so happy. No one’s thinking about me now."

"My fiancé? Don’t even mention him. He’s very busy..."

Feeling hurt and angry, Chen Yuanyuan arranged a trip with her friends. After hanging up the phone, she was still upset and furiously blocked Su Shaoqing’s number.

--------------------

After Su Shaoqing finished the call, the first thing he did was to find his father, only to discover he wasn’t there.

From what the bodyguard hinted, Su Shaoqing pieced together the information, and the conclusion shocked him.

What could be so urgent to alarm that old gentleman?

With all sorts of speculations, Su Shaoqing waited in the office from afternoon till midnight, until Su Guosheng returned in his limousine around dawn.

At that moment, Su Guosheng showed no signs of fatigue, only sharp excitement.

When only Su Guosheng and Su Shaoqing were left in the office, Su Guosheng finally dropped his calm disguise and excitedly paced around the office several times.

"Shaoqing, you wouldn’t believe how miraculous this is."

Su Shaoqing watched his stable father, excited like an eighteen-year-old boy, rubbing his hands and muttering to himself.

"If this is confirmed, not only the entire Hua Country but also our Su Family will rise to another level."

Along with this strange matter came snippets of a looming disaster revealed by the other party.

"Whether it’s true or not, we must still be prepared."

Su Shaoqing just silently watched his old father go crazy, speechless.

After a long while, Su Guosheng realized his son was still waiting for an explanation.

Sheepishly touching his nose, he said, "Do you remember I once told you about a relative of our family?"
