This Su Qiao usually looked like a good child. How could she? She was too good at pretending.

After Su Yan’s words, Old Master Su and Master Su were on high alert towards the second branch’s family. After all, if even a child could pretend so well, there was no way of knowing how scheming the adults who brought her up could be.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Su Yan took the initiative to bring up yesterday’s matter.

“Grandpa, what did you find out about the book I gave you yesterday? Is second uncle’s family really trying to do something bad to us?”

Old Master Su glanced at Su Yan. In his heart, he actually did not want Su Yan to come into contact with these shady things, but he had no choice now. There were some things that he had to ask Su Yan about.

“Su Yan, are you saying that Su Qiao said that he had forgotten to return the book, so he let you put it in the study?” Old Master Su did not directly answer Su Yan’s question. He still wanted to try his best not to destroy the image of the family in Su Yan’s heart..

After all, they had seen how much Su Yan had liked Su Qiao as her cousin all these years.

“Yes, Su Qiao also said that he would not let me tell you.” Su Yan understood her grandfather’s thoughts. She did not ask further and answered.

“Su Yan, stay away from Su Qiao next time. She’s not a good person.” Master Su did not have the same thoughts as Old Master Su. He felt that Su Yan had to learn to protect herself as they could not always be next to her to protect her all the time from the various dangers that surrounded her.

Although he could not bear to, the current situation could only allow Su Yan to grow up quickly.

Old Master Su glared at Master Su, but he did not open his mouth to refute him. He knew that what his son did was right. This was what was best for Su Yan.

But... there was no need to be so direct. They could have been more tactful.

“Okay, father, I understand.” Su Yan did not have so many thoughts, nor did she think that Old Master Su and Master Su had so many thoughts.

After all, Su Yan at this time was not the innocent or even stupid Su Yan from before. She had experienced the filth of this world many times.

However, the indifferent Su Yan surprised Old Master Su and Master Su. They had underestimated this granddaughter and daughter of theirs. They would never have thought that something like rebirth would happen to Su Yan. Both father and son smiled in relief.

“Grandpa, you haven’t told me what’s going on with that book yet.” Su Yan looked at Old Master Su and asked again. Although she knew what was going on, she could not tell him. She had to let her grandfather tell her so that she could bring up the matter of Gu Lingyu.

“Don’t interfere in this matter. It’s not just your second uncle’s matter anymore. There’s someone behind him who wants to deal with the Su family. He’s just using your second uncle.” Old Master Su stroked his beard, and realizing that his words might scare Su Yan, he paused and comforted her, “Don’t have to worry about this. With grandpa and your father around, the Su family will never fall.”

“Yes, I believe grandfather. It’s just that I’ve seen Gu Lingyu seem to be quite close to second uncle’s family. Last time, I even saw Gu Lingyu go to second uncle’s house. I didn’t take it seriously before. Now that I think about it, there’s a problem.”

Seeing that grandfather really didn’t want her to participate in this matter, Su Yan could only use this method to remind grandfather Su.

“Su Yan, you can’t just point fingers without any evidence. Are you sure of this?” Father Su looked at Su Yan and muttered to himself. He was very satisfied with this son-in-law, Gu Lingyu. If he had actually played a part in this matter, then Su Yan would be heartbroken.
