Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Everyone Has Their Own Agenda

Su Junxian said, "I’ve seen her before in front of Grandmother’s hospital room. She’s a decent person, someone who knows when to advance or retreat."

Su Junzhe said, "She’s very different from her media portrayal; she’s quite tactful. But from our two encounters, she also has a temper. If someone hurts her, she will hurt them back. Besides, it’s good for Su Kexin to be taught a lesson or two.

"As a member of the Su Family, she’s also one of its public faces. If she bullies others indiscriminately, it’s not good for the Su Family."

Su Jiang didn’t answer immediately.

After a long silence, he said, "I understand your opinions. You are all capable of standing on your own now, so I won’t force you to do anything. If you’ve already made up your minds, I respect your thoughts. At the same time, Su Kexin is still your sister. As her brothers, you should educate her when necessary and not take her lightly."

"Yes."

Feeling utterly exhausted, Su Jiang got into the car and headed to the sanatorium.

"Mr. Su, you’ve arrived."

"How is the lady today?"

"The same as usual."

Su Jiang put on a sterile suit and entered the hospital room.

The woman on the hospital bed was so thin she was almost unrecognizable, her life sustained only by sophisticated medical equipment and medication.

Su Jiang sat by the bed and held his wife Han Liying’s hand.

"I know you blame me. We’ve searched for our daughter for so many years and still haven’t found her. You haven’t given up, and neither have I."

"The children always accuse me of favoring Su Kexin, but they don’t understand the pain I carry in my heart."

"The person who brought Su Kexin to us was the only one with any information about our daughter. That person vanished many years ago. If I treat Su Kexin poorly, we’ll lose even that small lead. How could I bear to have no news of our daughter ever again?"

The Su Group allocated at least five hundred million annually to the search.

They had helped numerous families find their lost children and helped many children return to their parents.

Yet, their own child seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. Not a single clue.

Su Jiang felt utterly defeated.

He treated Su Kexin as his own daughter, yet he harbored resentment towards her.

The more Su Kexin grew up by his side, the more he missed his own daughter.

Moreover, Su Kexin was that person’s informant, placed by his side to constantly spy on the Su Family.

How could he allow someone else to sleep soundly right beside his bed?

Even if Su Kexin was innocent, that didn’t dispel the unease in his heart.

Was Su Kexin innocent? Then was his own daughter not?

Su Kexin, enduring the pain, climbed out of bed just as Auntie Mei was bringing up a restorative soup.

"Miss, why are you up?"

Noticing the quietness in the house, Su Kexin asked, "Where are my dad and brothers?"

"The Master has gone to the sanatorium to visit Madam Han, the two young masters have gone to the company, and the Third Young Master is fishing at the back lake."

"I’m in so much pain, yet they’re all busy with other things? Do they only care if I’m dead? Will they only stay with me then?"

"Miss, even if you’re angry, you shouldn’t curse yourself."

Auntie Mei had been Han Liying’s personal maid from the Han Family and held a high position in the Su household.

Especially after Han Liying fell into a coma, her position in the Su Family became even more important.

The Su family matriarch was also particularly fond of her.

If Su Jiang hadn’t loved only Han Liying and been indifferent to other women, Auntie Mei would have long since become the new mistress of the Su household.

"What right do you have to lecture me? You’ve been eyeing my mother’s position for so many years! You’re just like Fu Bing—both of you are bitches!"

Enraged, Su Kexin stormed upstairs, slamming her bedroom door with a thunderous bang.

Auntie Mei, her eyes red, went to see the Su family matriarch.

When the Su family matriarch saw her red eyes, she asked, "Did Su Jiang upset you? I’ll call him right away to apologize."

"It’s not the Master; he went to the sanatorium to see Madam Han and hasn’t returned yet."

"Then it must be Su Kexin. That girl is getting more and more out of line! Doesn’t she stop to think? If she doesn’t rein herself in, how are we supposed to discuss marriage with the Qin Family? Qin Jinhai isn’t a considerate person. If she gets her wish to marry him, she’ll end up crying every day, won’t she?"

"Miss Su Kexin has been increasingly irritable lately. Could it be because Miss Fu got out of prison, making her feel threatened?"

"Even if, for argument’s sake, Qin Jinhai really did like Fu Bing, Fu Bing wouldn’t be able to enter the Qin Family. Let’s not even talk about the whole ’actor’ issue; the mere fact she’s been in prison is enough for the Qin Family to reject her. Qin Jinhai isn’t foolish. If he wants to marry and eventually take over the Qin Family, marrying Su Kexin is the fastest way. A marriage alliance benefits both families."

"What the matriarch says is true," Auntie Mei flattered.

She felt a sense of crisis welling up inside her.

If Su Kexin successfully married Qin Jinhai, she would only become more arrogant.

She needed to find someone to help prevent Su Kexin’s marriage.

A name came to mind.

Fu Bing!

Xiaomei and Steward He had recently been busy with the villa’s renovations.

Steward He knew Aunt Ning’s living habits best, so he had to communicate frequently with the designer, making trips to the villa at Wangjiang Pavilion now and then.

Fu Bing would help at Aunt Ning’s during the day and work on her embroidery at night.

After parking her car, Fu Bing caught sight of Auntie Mei standing in front of the security door of the apartment building.

Fu Bing locked the car and walked over.

Auntie Mei greeted her with a smile, "Miss Fu, you’re back."

"Hello. Did Director Su send you, or did Su Kexin?"

"I came on my own."

"I don’t recall us having any private dealings," Fu Bing said guardedly.

"It’s true we don’t. I’m here on behalf of my lady."

"Your lady? Isn’t that Su Kexin?"

"The lady I serve is Madam Su," Auntie Mei glanced around. "Miss Fu, would you mind finding somewhere private to talk?"

Ten minutes later, the two sat down in a small private room at a restaurant.

Fu Bing was hungry, so she didn’t stand on ceremony with Auntie Mei.

Auntie Mei stared at her intently.

Her features did bear some resemblance to their family’s matriarch in her youth.

But that was only at first glance.

Upon closer inspection, they weren’t alike at all.

After a few bites, Fu Bing put down her chopsticks and said, "Just get to the point."

"I came today mainly to ask for your help with two things. The first is to ask you, Miss Fu, to visit my mistress. My mistress fell ill after her young daughter went missing."

"Doctors from around the world have examined her but found nothing. Everyone says it’s a sickness of the heart, that she herself doesn’t want to wake up. But she’s been asleep for nearly twenty years. I’m worried that if she continues sleeping, she’ll never wake up."

Auntie Mei’s eyes reddened. "Miss Fu, the last time you were at Sully, the family wanted to discuss this with you. Unfortunately, unpleasant incidents got in the way. Please, be magnanimous and overlook what happened. I implore you to come with me to the sanatorium to see my mistress."

"Who else knows that you came to find me?"

Fu Bing didn’t immediately answer whether she would go or not.
