Chapter 546: 546, Mummy General Xiao
Su Wanwan could no longer hold back and stood up, “I will head home first.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the mummy showed some reaction.
He even turned his head to look at her, the poker face remained emotionless, but it made people think… she couldn’t help but expect something from him.
“Isn’t it too early?” Mo Weiyi glanced at the time, “I’ll call Uncle Liu to get you home. Wait a little longer.”
“No need, I can take a cab home.”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but mutter to herself, how could they not see that your husband can’t wait for me to leave?
Never mind.
It’s better to lay comfortably at home than to be the third wheel in a hospital room.
To her surprise, Mo Weiyi insisted, “How can that be? I promised Mr. Huo to send you home.”
After saying that, she stood up directly, “I got it, let’s take a cab home together.”
Xiao Yebai: “…”
Su Wanwan: “…”
“Aunt Zhou, have you packed everything up? We’re going home.” Mo Weiyi began to instruct Aunt Zhou. She walked over and just packed up the thermos on the table.
The mummy finally spoke, “Leaving now?”
“Yeah.”
“Will you come back at noon?”
“Right now is noon, isn’t it?” Mo Weiyi looked innocent. “Aunt Zhou can bring you food later, I won’t be coming.”
“Mr. Xiao, it turns out you can talk?” Su Wanwan couldn’t help but open her mouth.
Xiao Yebai gave her a faint look, “So?”
“Nothing much.” Su Wanwan smiled, “I haven’t heard you speak since I came in, I thought you were very seriously ill, so ill that you couldn’t speak.”
Xiao Yebai directly turned his face away, gazing coldly out of the window.
Su Wanwan: “…”
Shit.
Why is this Mr. Xiao so childish?
If he loses the argument, he just turns his face away and ignores her. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Why does it feel a bit like Fu Ziyang?
Ziyang, Ziyang, you can’t be like this when you grow up, it’s not cute at all!
“Forget it, Weiyi, you should stay and accompany your husband.” Su Wanwan gave up, “I’ll call a cab right now and give you the license plate number.”
Just as her words fell, her phone rang.
Su Wanwan picked it up to see.
It was a local phone number she didn’t recognize.
She directly ambled. “Who is this?”
“Wanwan, it’s me.”
Upon hearing this voice, Su Wanwan’s eyebrows knitted together instantaneously, her tone turning cold, “What’s the matter?”
It was indeed from Jiang Yi.
What kind of jinxed day is today?
“Wanwan, can you come to the hospital?” Jiang Yi sounded urgent, “Your dad had a car accident just now and he is in the emergency room at the First People’s Hospital.”
“What did you say?” Su Wanwan’s first reaction was disbelief, “Didn’t you just say he was having a high fever? How did he have a car accident now? I beg you, at least get your story straight when you lie, okay?”
“Wanwan, I’m not lying to you, your father really had a car accident. Just as his fever subsided, he went to a meal with the leader, who knew there would be an accident on the way. Now we don’t know what the situation is, I’m on my way to the hospital. If you don’t believe me, just call your dad, I really didn’t lie to you.”
“I see.”
Su Wanwan hung up the phone, “Weiyi, I won’t be going home for now, I need to go to the People’s Hospital.”
“What happened?”
“My dad had a car accident, they said he’s in the emergency room, I have to go check.”
“Let me go with you.”
“No need, stay here and accompany your husband.” As she spoke, Su Wanwan quickly grabbed her coat and bag and left straight away.

Sitting in the taxi, perhaps because the traffic in Nancheng was so bad today, the car was moving very slowly. Along the way, Su Wanwan was reminded of many things from the past.
She didn’t like this biased father, but when she heard about his accident, she couldn’t help but worry.
Blood ties are ultimately indelible.
When she finally arrived at the hospital, it had been an hour.
The emergency hall on the first floor was almost empty. After asking around, Su Wanwan had to run to the inpatient building.
Once she arrived at the ward and pushed the door open, she almost ran into a woman who was heading out.
“Wanwan, you’re here,” Jiang Yi said immediately, giving her a beaming smile.
Su Wanwan instead looked inside the room.
On the hospital bed, Su Yuntang was sitting, making a call on his mobile phone.
When he saw her, he paused for a moment, then continued speaking on the phone,”Chief Chen, I’m really sorry, it was all my fault, and I didn’t know that things would turn out this way.”
Bla bla bla, he talked for quite a while.
And Su Wanwan just stood there, listening.
Jiang Yi also didn’t dare leave.
Only until Su Yuntang hung up did he wear a frown and then he began, “Why are you here?”
“Yuntang, I’m the one who asked Wanwan to come over,” Jiang Yi said hurriedly.
Su Wanwan, with a cold demeanor, walked straight in, and gave him a once over, “You seem to be alright.”
Su Yuntang was wearing a crisp, grey shirt and suit trousers, topped with a black cashmere sweater.
Apart from a bruise on his cheek and a slightly weary expression, there didn’t appear to be any injuries.
However, her words seemed to strike a nerve with Su Yuntang.
“Have you been wishing for something to happen to your old man?”
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh, “Chief Su, it was your wife who called me, telling me you had a car accident, claimed to be in the ER, with a hint of life-threatening severity, as if getting ready to settle any unfinished business. Did you think I would rush over otherwise?”
Settle unfinished business?
Su Yuntang’s face darkened even more.
Jiang Yi had to step in, “When the driver called me earlier, I was indeed scared and might have exaggerated a bit. Wanwan, don’t worry, I have spoken with the doctor, your father’s just a little weak, there’s no other physical trauma.”
Finishing, she looked at her husband, “Yuntang, how could you be so careless? How did you manage to faint while walking?”
Hearing these words, Su Wanwan became even more helpless.
Faint while walking?
Suddenly it became a car accident?
Well, well.
As for Su Yuntang, he raised his hand to massage his achy neck, without responding.
Earlier on the road, he didn’t know what came over him, but all of a sudden he thought the woman ahead looked very much like Ya Jin.
Dressed in a red coat, with long hair flowing behind her, her frame sleek and graceful.
When he tried to catch up with her, something hit his neck out of the blue and he passed out immediately.
Looking back now, he must have been seeing things.
Ya Jin was dead.
And she’s been dead for twenty years.
He himself had personally been to that medical center, and looked at the death certificate.
Pushing that aside, even if she was still alive, she wouldn’t still look the same as she did twenty years ago, right?
“Since Chief Su is all right, I will be taking my leave now,” Su Wanwan’s voice suddenly broke the silence.
Jiang Yi, panicked, quickly reached for her husband’s arm, gesturing with her eyes.
“Wait a moment,” Su Yuntang finally spoke up.
Su Wanwan stopped, turned around, “Does Chief Su need anything else?”
Su Yuntang examined Su Wanwan.
Her crystal clear almond eyes and delicate, white oval face, paired with her neat attire and no hint of makeup showed a clean, pure look.
He had always thought this daughter of his looked so much like Ya Jin, everytime he saw her, he couldn’t help the resentment welling up inside him.
But on taking a closer look now, maybe it was because she wasn’t wearing makeup, he suddenly thought that, actually the mother-daughter resemblance was only in their eyes.
Su Wanwan frowned, rather impatient, “Can’t you just say what you want to say?”
Su Yuntang snapped himself out of his thoughts, his expression cold, he said somewhat rigidly, “On the second day of the New Year, remember to bring your husband home to see your grandfather.”
He thought his tone was mild enough, but Su Wanwan didn’t appreciate at all, “Is that necessary? Wouldn’t it be fine if your other daughter comes home, do you need me, the eldest daughter who isn’t favored?”
“You…”
“Yuntang, don’t be angry,” Jiang Yi quickly intervened, pulling at her husband, then she said, smiling, “Wanwan, as a daughter, how could you refuse to come home for an entire year? On the second day of the year, your father is planning to host a celebration banquet. You and Mr. Huo can come, it would be perfect to have a family gathering then.”
“He still wants to hold a celebration banquet after a car accident?” Su Wanwan’s tone became sarcasm, her smile grew more mocking, “Chief Su, you should prioritize your health. Can’t you hold the banquet until you’re fully recovered? There’s no need to rush to show off, right?”
“You ungrateful…” Su Yuntang found his anger instantly reignited. If it weren’t for Jiang Yi holding him back, he would have had the urge to get off the bed and confront her physically.
“You come when I say you need to come!” He took a deep breath, “Yanyan won’t be coming home this year.”
“Ah, so that’s how it is,” Su Wanwan sneered again, “Because your other daughter made such a loss of face for you that she can’t even come home for the New Year, you have no one to show off, and that’s why you want me, your eldest daughter, to step in?”
