Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Su Liaoliao's Dream Shattered

Su Nuan still looked aggrieved and innocent, and blinked her eyes.

"The doctor once said that I have suffered from leg disease for many years and it is not easy to cure. Sheng An also knows this."

That is indeed the truth.

Su Minghai couldn't help but nod in agreement. Su Nuan's leg injury hadn't been there for a day or two, so it wouldn't be that easy to heal. Could it be that Sheng An was just talking nonsense to find a reason to break off the engagement?

At this moment, Su Niao Niao came down from upstairs. She glanced at Su Nuan, then immediately walked to Su Minghai and sat down obediently.

"Dad, when are we going to Grandpa Sheng's house? I want to go see if Grandpa Sheng is feeling better."

For some reason, Sheng An, who used to send her messages every day, suddenly didn't reply to her messages today. Su Niaoniao felt a little uneasy.

She wanted to go to Sheng's house to meet Sheng An in person.

However, after hearing this, Su Minghai's expression looked a little strange.

He looked at Su Liaoliao, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally sighed and spoke hesitantly.

"Niao Niao, I'm afraid you can't continue to go to the Sheng family in the future."

These words made Su Niaoniao stunned for a moment, and she looked over with confusion.

"Why? Dad."

Although the Sheng family's love for her has always been far less than that for Su Nuan, Su Niaoniao can still come and go freely in the Sheng family because of her relationship with the Su family.

What's more, she usually had private meetings with Sheng An at Sheng's house. If she didn't go, how could she maintain their relationship?

Su Minghai looked at Su Nuan with some hesitation, and finally decided to tell the truth.

"Mr. Sheng called me today and said that even if Sheng An doesn't want to marry Su Nuan, the Sheng family will never agree to let you in. Niao Niao, don't worry, Dad will definitely find a more suitable marriage for you!"

Although the Sheng family is already very good, this call was made by Mr. Sheng himself, so Su Minghai had to take it seriously.

When Su Niaoniao heard this, she was struck by lightning and was dumbfounded on the spot.

She sat on the sofa in a daze for half a minute before she finally reacted and eagerly grabbed Su Minghai's hand.

"Dad, what's going on?"

She was so anxious that she almost cried, "Grandpa Sheng was very nice to me before, and Brother Sheng An always kept in touch with me, but today he suddenly-"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Su Liaoliao suddenly realized something.

No wonder Sheng An hadn't replied to her message today. It might be because of Mr. Sheng's instructions!

Su Minghai sighed helplessly, "Niao Niao, it's not that Dad won't help you, but the Sheng family made it clear that they only want Su Nuan for this marriage. If Su Nuan doesn't go, they will never agree to let you marry in instead."

As he finished speaking, Su Liaoliao completely collapsed.

She fell on the sofa and started crying uncontrollably.

"How could this happen? Brother Sheng An and I are clearly in love with each other, and he has promised to marry me. Why would the Sheng family want to separate us? On what grounds?"

She had finally taken advantage of the two years when Su Nuan was away to completely take Sheng An for herself.

It seemed that she only needed to wait for the two to cancel their engagement and then she would be able to marry into the Sheng family in glory and splendor. But now, this bad news directly shattered all her dreams and fantasies.

Su Niaoniao suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Looking at his baby daughter crying, Su Minghai suddenly became anxious and tried to coax her at a loss.

"Niao Niao, this call was made by Mr. Sheng himself. I really can't do anything about it. Why don't you think about whether you have done something recently to offend Mr. Sheng and that's why their attitude changed drastically."

Although the Sheng family's attitude towards Su Niaoniao in the past was far inferior to that towards Su Nuan, it was not as tough as it is now.

Su Minghai couldn't help wondering, could something have happened?

Su Niao Niao, who had been crying like a tearful person, raised her head hazily, thinking about what had happened recently. After thinking about it, she didn't think she had done anything to anger the Sheng family.

Suddenly, her eyes focused on Su Nuan, who was not far away and looked like she was enjoying the show. She seemed to realize something.

"elder sister?"

She looked at Su Nuan with tearful eyes and spoke tremblingly.

"I remember that my sister went on a date with Brother Sheng An today. Since then, Brother Sheng An has not responded to my messages. Then Grandpa Sheng stopped letting me go to the Sheng family. Is there any connection between them?"

Hearing her say this, Su Minghai's face suddenly changed.

Without even figuring out the whole story, he turned around and yelled at Su Nuan.

"Su Nuan, is this your doing?"

Su Nuan, who was watching the show seriously, said: "..."

Why did it bring this upon me again?

She spread her hands innocently and said, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't even know that you liked Sheng An."

Su Niaoniao's body stiffened for a moment.

But Su Nuan was unwilling to let her go, and deliberately said in a sarcastic tone: "You too, why didn't you tell me earlier that you actually liked Sheng An? If I had known, I would have given you this marriage. No wonder I saw you and Sheng An talking secretly in the garden last time."

She said this lightly, but Su Niaoniao felt very humiliated.

She thought unwillingly that it was obvious that she and Sheng An were the true love, so why did Su Nuan say that, as if she was a mistress who interfered with other people's feelings.

She sobbed and looked over with grievance.

"Brother Sheng An took the initiative to propose this matter. After all, my sister's leg injury has not healed yet. I am worried that you will be wronged if you marry her, so I thought it would be better to fulfill this marriage contract on your behalf."

Listening to her gossiping, Su Nuan felt like vomiting.

It sounds nice to say, but in reality, isn't he just trying to take my place and become the legitimate Mrs. Sheng?

Things have come to this point, Su Nuan doesn't want to give her any face.

She chuckled twice and deliberately poked Su Niaoniao's sore spot.

"I would like to fulfill your wish, sister, but unfortunately, Mr. Sheng has spoken now. It seems that you will never be able to meet Sheng An in this life."

It would have been better if she didn't say it, because once she said it, it brought up Su Niaoniao's sad story.

When Su Niaoniao thought that her dream of becoming Mrs. Sheng was shattered, she cried so hard that she was about to faint.

This made Su Minghai very distressed. He hurriedly called the servant and sent Su Niaoniao back to her room first.

When they were the only two left in the hall, Su Minghai's majestic gaze fell on Su Nuan.

"Are you trying to ruin your sister's marriage?"

After being provoked by Su Niaoniao just now, Su Minghai is now almost certain that Su Nuan must have been the one behind this, otherwise, the Sheng family's attitude would not have been so tough.
