Chapter 18  : The Four Great Clans of the Capital

When Su Yan and the other two entered the room, Su Qian was fiddling with her phone with a smile on her face. When she saw them enter, she immediately hid her phone behind her back.

Huo Nan frowned. What was the meaning of this? Why was she avoiding him?

“Big Sister, Brother Huo Nan, you guys are here.” Su Qian sat on the bed with an innocent smile on her face. Her oversized hospital gown made her look even smaller, it did make her look like a sickly beauty.

Huo Nan, who had just despised Su Qian, suddenly remembered what happened in the car yesterday when he saw her weak appearance. He swallowed as a fire burned within him.

Huo Nan’s small actions naturally could not be hidden from Su Yan, who had sharp eyes. At the same time, Su Yan smiled gently at Su Qian, who was lying on the bed. “You have to take care of yourself. After all, your legs are a big deal.”

“Yes, you’re right,” Su Qian agreed. “I feel bad that you and Brother Huo Nan have to come and see me.”

Su Yan leaned over and patted Su Qian’s head. “If you feel bad, then take care of yourself. Don’t make me worry.”

Su Qian naturally agreed. In fact, her expression was a little dazed, as if she was flattered that Su Yan had touched her head.

It was different, not only did Mother Su become smarter, but even Su Qian had changed. Even though Su Qian still appeared unconvinced, she was no longer as anxious as she used to be. Su Yan looked coldly at Su Qian before turning to Mother Su. She was wondering who had seen them and what they had said to them.

Su Qian continued, “Brother Huo Nan, are you going on a date with Big sister?” Her eyes were filled with envy as she looked at the huge bouquet of roses in Su Yan’s hands. “Brother Huo Nan and Big Sister, you have to have fun, don’t be late because of me.”

Huo Nan was touched by her innocent smile, he felt that Su Qian was too sensible. As his thoughts changed from Su Qian to Su Yan, he realized that the two sisters were actually getting along well today. Huo Nan was shocked. Could it be that the two sisters had already come to a compromise because of him?

Su Yan retracted her hand without batting an eyelid. She wiped her hands on the bed without anyone noticing before she smiled and said, “It’s alright, you rest well. Huo Nan, you… just do what you can for her. I’ll go out to buy food.” She turned to look at Mother Su who was looking at her eagerly. Su Yan comforted her, “Mom, just rest well.”

Mother Su naturally agreed happily and no longer bore any grudges.

Su Yan muttered to herself as she walked out of the ward. In the end, she decided to call Shi Qing and tell him everything that she had discovered.

On the other end, Shi Qing also pondered for a moment before saying, “Xixi, you should know that you are the daughter of the Yun family.”

Su Yan replied, “Yes. Could it be that Su Qian and Mother Su’s change has something to do with the Yun family?”

“The Yun family’s situation is very complicated. Back then, Uncle Yun and Auntie died in a strange manner. After so many years, we still couldn’t find the murderer, so I suspect that this has something to do with the Yun family.” Shi Qing fell silent again.

“If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to hesitate.”

After hearing Su Yan’s words, Shi Qing continued, “I suspect that this has something to do with Old Master Yun. It might even be Old Master Yun manipulating everything behind the scenes.” Shi Qing paused for a moment before continuing, “In a while, I will sort out the internal affairs of the Yun family and their relationships with each other before sending them to you. You have to be careful. After I arrive at City A, the Yun family will also secretly follow me to City A.”

“So you suspect that Su Qian and Mother Su are in contact with the Yun family?”

Shi Qing nodded, it was very possible.

After receiving such news, Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She put down her phone in confusion. Su Yan knew very well what kind of family the Yun family was. The Capital had gathered the four most famous families in China.

Lu, Yun, Bai, Shi. It was obvious from the ranking that the Yun family was ranked second, while the Shi family was ranked last.

Before, Shi Qing was the current head of the Shi family. However, Shi Qing’s legs were disabled and he went blind after he was in a car accident three years ago. This was a huge blow to the Shi family. Su Yan did not know how Shi Qing managed to regain his footing in the family.

However, it was rumored that the flow of personnel in the Shi family during that period of time was too complicated. Many people were kicked out of the Shi family’s central power. Many people even died in car accidents, earthquakes, and other natural disasters.

It was also at this time that Shi Qing’s reputation of being ruthless spread. It was also because of a crippled person like Shi Qing that the Shi family could not match up to the Yun family and the Bai family in terms of development. It dropped from its original ranking of second to last.

As for the Yun family, Su Yan’s father wasn’t the head of the Yun family back then. He was just one of the successors. However, he had a strong momentum and married a daughter of the Lu family as his wife. The daughter she gave birth to was also very pleasing to Old Master Yun.

He was basically the next person in power. If not for the accident that happened more than ten years ago, Su Yan would be living a comfortable life now.. She would not be spending so much effort to scheme and take revenge for herself.
