Chapter 8 - Didn't Buy a Train Ticket

After walking out of Jade Fragrance Restaurant, Jin Mubai saw Su Man's pale face. She seemed to be in a daze, so he walked to her side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Man saw the concern in his eyes and said, "My head hurts a little."

Su Man's health had been poor since she was young, so Jin Mubai did not think too much about it. He glanced at the adults who were still exchanging pleasantries and said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

Su Man was just joking, she didn't really have a headache, so she wouldn't go to the hospital with him. "I'm fine, Brother Mubai. It's just an old illness of mine. It's probably because it's too stuffy in the room just now. I'll be fine after breathing in some fresh air."

Jin Mubai's face was still filled with worry. He stretched out his hand and stroked her back as he gently said, "Next time, tell me earlier if you're not feeling well. Aunty Lu and the others won't mind."

Su Man looked at his handsome face, and the frustration she felt because of Su Yu earlier finally eased a little. She coyly held his arm and said sweetly, "Sure." At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said hypocritically, "I just saw my sister. Why did she come to Jade Fragrance Restaurant? My dad told me that her biological family is from Qiufeng County. There's only one train from Feng City to Qiufeng County every day. Could she not have bought a ticket?"

When Jin Mubai heard this, he furrowed his brows. He turned around and looked at Jade Fragrance Restaurant before casually saying, "Maybe."

Su Man bit his lips and said hesitantly, "When sister left home today, she was on bad terms with Grandma. Dad gave her money, but she didn't want it. She seemed to think that we wanted to chase her away!

"Maybe it's because of what happened between you and me...

"Brother Mubai, is it all my fault for being too greedy? I shouldn't have fought with my sister for you..."

"It has nothing to do with you!" Jin Mubai looked at Su Man's teary eyes and his heart ached. He quickly retorted, "It's my fault. I fell in love with you. Su Yu ... She should give us her blessings."

Su Man had been in poor health since she was young. She looked weak and fragile. The bravest thing he had done in his life was probably deciding to be with Su Man. As a man, he had to take responsibility. Su Man was so weak, how could she take care of herself without him? He could only let Su Yu down.

"Yeah..." Su Man replied in a low voice.

Su Man saw that his expression was cold when he mentioned Su Yu, so he probably didn't have any feelings for Su Yu which improved her mood a little. The only thing she still could not figure out was why Su Yu had appeared in Jade Fragrance Restaurant. Was it really just a coincidence, just like what Grandma had guessed? After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a conclusion, so she simply gave up. She composed herself and put on a smile again. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her line of sight. She quickly looked in that direction and saw that the person who had come out of the private room was Su Yu!

Jin Mubai also saw Su Yu and called out in surprise, "Su Yu?"

In addition to Su Yu, there were other people. When Su Weiguo and the others who were walking in front heard this name, they all stopped in their tracks and looked over.

Lu Wei, who was supported by her daughter, was walking at the front. However, she suddenly saw someone and froze on the spot. After she came back to her senses, she quickly asked her daughter to help her back.

The two of them walked up to Master Bai and Lu Wei greeted him with a smile. "Master Bai, why have you come to Feng City?"

Master Bai? The Su family was stunned when they heard this!

Madam Jin seemed to have thought of something as well and her expression changed. She swept her gaze over the Bai family. Bai? She had heard of this family name before. Could they be the Bai family that she was thinking of? The social circle in Feng City was divided into different levels. The Su family was just at the edge of the circle of the rich and powerful. The Jin family was slightly better than the Su family. After all, there were people in the family who held government positions. However, they were not that much stronger. The most powerful families in Feng City were the Bai and Lu families. They were the top, followed by the Chu family. The Jin family had only barely squeezed into the circle. Among these families, the Bai family was the most powerful. It was suspected that the Bai family had a lot of connections with Yu City. When Master Bai was young, he was an influential figure in Feng City. Now that he was old, he moved to Yu City ten years ago to recuperate, so he did not appear in Feng City much. Most of the younger generation had only heard of this name but had never seen him in person.

Master Bai was in a good mood, so he laughed and said, "I'm here to pick up my granddaughter!"
