Chapter 6: Acquisition? Sheng Han Group?

Seeing the father-daughter interaction for the first time, Su Nian couldn't bear to interrupt but was afraid that Shen Hanxiu approached the child with malice, so she immediately stepped forward, snatched the child away, and softly reprimanded: "Zhenzhen, hasn't Mom told you not to talk to strangers?"

Su Zhen happily shook the lollipop in her hand: "Uncle isn't a stranger, he's my good friend, he bought me candy!"

"Mom taught you not to take things from strangers."

Having heard Su Nian mention "stranger" repeatedly, Su Zhen finally caught on, glancing between Su Nian and Shen Hanxiu.

Isn't this uncle my Daddy? Why doesn't Mom know him?

Eyes meeting, Su Nian saw an ambiguous faint smile on Shen Hanxiu's face that was hard to read, only a few seconds passed before Su Nian hastily averted her gaze and left with the child.

She always felt he came with an ulterior motive.

In the evening, the two kids were lying in bed. Once Su Nian left, Su Zhen asked in her endearing voice: "Susu, are you lying to me? That handsome Uncle isn't really our Daddy, otherwise why doesn't Mom know him?"

Su Bao remembered the DNA test results proving he and that man were indeed biologically father and son.

But that man never took care of Mom or showed concern for him and Su Zhen, so who needs such an irresponsible Daddy.

However, it was different for Su Zhen. If she found out she didn't have a Daddy again, she would probably start crying. Women crying and whimpering are the most annoying, so Su Bao indifferently replied: "I didn't lie to you."

"Then why doesn't Mom bring Daddy home to live with us?"

"Mom doesn't like him."

"Why doesn't Mom like him? The three of us are together, and Daddy is all alone outside, that's so pitiful..."

Su Bao glared at her: "Shut up and go to sleep."

She said that man was pitiful, but who pitied them when they were bullied at school for not having a Daddy?

But Su Zhen had a smile on her face, thinking as long as Mom likes Daddy, Daddy could come home. Her Daddy was so tall and good-looking; no one would dare to bully her and Su Bao again!

Su Nian lay in bed, confused and disturbed. She pulled out the photo from the drawer; others might first notice the man's handsome features in the photo, but she saw the loneliness in his eyes.

Over the past four years, he's been a fixture in the financial newspapers, clearly becoming more outstanding, yet she could no longer find a trace of happiness on his face.

She thought she hated him, but she could always feel the warmth he once provided her, which hadn't faded in four years...

She had thought they would never meet again. He and that woman should be living happily. Him showing up now isn't to reconcile, as she has no appeal to him anymore. His approach must surely target the child.

During the day, he must have believed her talk about infidelity, that the child wasn't his, he should no longer appear. But at night, she was still sleepless...

The next day, after sending the kids to school, Su Nian headed to work at the company.

Before she stepped into the office, her assistant Xiao Lan rushed over excitedly: "Susu! Susu! Great news! Our company has been acquired!"

Su Nian frowned: "Acquired?"

How is this good news? It means a big wave of layoffs and personnel changes to come.

"Hehe, you only know half of the story. Let me tell you, the person acquiring our company is Sheng Han Group!"

Su Nian's mind exploded at the mention of Sheng Han Group?!
