Chapter 4 Silence

Su Niao Niao bit her lip, glanced at Su Nuan and said, "But after I called to ask, the nursing home said that there was no such person as my sister. So where has my sister been these years..."

  There was a sudden silence at the scene. Everyone understood what Su Niaoniao meant. Sheng An looked at Su Nuan in doubt and took his hand back.

  However, Mr. Sheng looked at Su Nuan inquiringly, and it seemed that he didn't believe what Su Niaoniao said at all.

  Su Nuan felt warm in her heart, but when she was about to show the evidence she had copied on the USB drive, someone suddenly spoke.

  The voice was as cold as ever: "When Nuannuan was abroad, she was in the same nursing home as me. That nursing home was not open to the public and had very strict management. Medical staff would not disclose the employer's information without permission."

  When everyone looked over, they found it was Sheng Jinyan, who had not spoken since entering the room. His face was pale, and he looked weak from a long illness, but his aura was unexpectedly convincing.

  What he meant by his words just now was that it would be impossible for Su Niaoniao to find out about Su Nuan's situation by calling and asking directly, so Su Niaoniao was either lying or deliberately investigating Su Nuan.

  Su Nuan: "…"

  This kind of scene with a sense of déjà vu always feels like it has happened many times, so why does Sheng Jinyan always do the old-fashioned "hero saves the beauty"? As a fast-travel boss, can't she speak for herself?

  Everyone looked at Su Niaoniao with a strange look on their faces. Su Niaoniao didn't expect Sheng Jinyan to speak for Su Nuan, and every word he said was directed at her. Her face suddenly turned pale.

  But she could only defend herself: "So that's how it is. I was too concerned and confused. I probably remembered the phone number of another nursing home."

  No one paid attention to her because Sheng Jinyan spoke again: "Nuannuan has had a hard time in the past few years to treat her leg."

  In just two short sentences, people could hear a little sadness. Madam Sheng wiped her tears and said, "Nuannuan, you have suffered so much."

  Old Master Sheng also coughed several times in excitement and said, "Alas, Nuannuan, you are such a stubborn child. You insisted on going abroad to see your legs by yourself. You suffered and worked hard, but you wouldn't tell anyone... Now you want to cancel the engagement. How can I, your grandfather, treat you well..."

  The more he spoke, the sadder he became. His breathing became heavy and his arms were shaking violently.

  Su Nuan burst into tears immediately. She wanted to cancel the engagement by pretending to be disabled, but this made those who cared about her even more worried. In the final analysis, she was being selfish.

  She immediately grabbed the old man's hand and comforted him, "Grandpa, don't be sad, I'm actually doing fine..."

  Su Nuan glanced at Sheng Jinyan and explained, "My uncle takes good care of me."

  Hearing this, the corners of Sheng Jinyan's mouth curled up slightly.

  After Grandpa Sheng fell asleep, Sheng's father, Sheng's mother and Su's father had something to discuss, so they asked the younger generations to go to dinner. However, there was silence at the dinner table because of what had just happened, and everyone had different thoughts.

  Su Niaoniao was the first to speak: "I was wondering why my sister got off the plane with my uncle, it turns out they are so familiar with each other."

  Su Nuan felt sick when she heard her bitchy words. It was a good opportunity to resolve the previous issues now. She pointed at Sheng An and said, "Whether I am familiar with my uncle or not is none of your business. But Sheng An, I heard that you want to transfer the "Yuyin" that my mother left for me to your sister to open a studio?"

  Sheng An frowned and said, "'Yu Yin' has been in a state of long-term losses in the past two years, so I revised the planning. It just so happens that Niao Niao also wants to invest, so I want to reopen it under the name of a studio."

  "Oh, Sheng An, although I handed Yuyin to you before I went abroad, I am still its legal representative, right? Then let me make it clear now, I think Yuyin does not need to be rectified. I want to take back this loss-making company now." Su Nuan glanced at Su Niaoniao's suddenly ugly expression and said slowly.

  Sheng An immediately raised his head to look at Su Nuan, as if examining her. But before he could speak, Su Niao Niao said aggrievedly, "Why, sister? Do you just want to watch Auntie's company go down the drain? Don't you trust me to revive Yu Yin?"

  Sheng An also questioned: "I can return Yu Yin to you, but do you know how to run the business?"

  Su Nuan rolled her eyes and said, "I know I may not be good at business, but this company means a lot to me. It was left to my mother by my grandfather, and then to me by my mother. The word 'Yu Yin' represents the endless inheritance of my family. I don't want others to think of something else when they see the word 'Yu Yin' in the future."

  Su Niaoniao, who was implied to be "something else", froze when she heard this. She said unwillingly, "Are you just going to watch it continue to lose money? We are all family, can't you give me a chance?"

  Su Nuan shrugged and said bluntly: "Whether I lose money or not is actually none of your business, sister. Or maybe I just like losing money. Anyway, compared to the shares my grandfather left me, this loss is nothing. Can you understand now? I just don't want it to be touched by anything else. I just want to keep it by myself and keep the idea."

  Su Nuan looked at her with a smile, and threw the last punch: "And sister, you'd better understand one thing... Even if you call me sister and I call you sister, in fact, you and I are not a family, please remember it? So I don't need to give you a chance, and if I don't give you a chance, don't you know the reason in your heart?"

  Su Niaoniao couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

  "You're not red enough."

  As soon as these words were spoken, the table fell silent.

  Su Nuan blew on the soup bowl lazily, took a sip, and her eyes lit up. It turned out that the soup cooked by Aunt Sheng was the best.

  Sheng Jinyan saw that she had finished one bowl, so he served her another. Su Nuan once again looked at Sheng Jinyan in confusion, feeling that he was the target of the strategy to revive the family's cooking skills.

  Su Niao Niao's eyes turned red as she looked at Sheng An and said aggrievedly, "I'm not famous enough? Then what kind of artist do you want to sign, sister? With Yu Yin's current condition, is there any other decent artist she can sign besides me?"

  Sheng An also looked at Su Nuan unhappily and said, "Su Nuan, signing an artist is not like buying a luxury item. Top artists are hard to come by. Niao Niao is willing to help you..."

  But he was interrupted before he could finish his words. Su Nuan looked at Su Niao Niao with a smile and said, "Sister, I wonder if you still remember what happened when we met at the airport?"

  Su Niaoniao's face suddenly turned dark when she recalled how all the fans were running towards Sheng Jinyan.

  Su Nuan immediately smiled and added: "My company, of course we want to sign a top talent like my uncle."

  Sheng Jinyan paused while holding the chopsticks: "Hmm."

  Su Nuan: "...???"
