Liao Ning brought Su MO back to the hotel room.
As it was inconvenient for Zhou Ling to appear at the banquet, he stayed in his room to watch the live broadcast of the banquet. He almost lost his temper when he saw that Liao Ning had actually brought an unfamiliar boy back.
The moment Su MO stepped into the room, he felt a bone-piercing chill on his body. When he saw Zhou Ling staring at him coldly, Su MO finally understood where the chill came from.
Su MO was surprised. âIsnât this Colonel Zhou? Why are you here?â
The Su family and the Zhou family were both one of the five great families in the alliance. Su MO knew Zhou Ling, but he didnât expect Zhou Ling, who was rumored to be missing and whose fate was unknown, to appear in Liao Ningâs room.
This was very unscientific!
Zhou Ling ignored him and pointed at him as he asked Liao Ning, âWhy is he here? Why is he following you?â
Su MO was stunned. What was with Colonel Zhouâs aggrieved expression?! Did the two of them have an unspeakable relationship?
Su Moâs gaze lingered on Zhou Ling and Liao Ning. At this moment, the sensible wolf cub tugged at the corner of his shirt, indicating that he could sit on the sofa in the living room.
âThank you.â Su MO was pulled to the sofa by Liao Nai.
Liao Ning glanced at Su MO, who was sitting comfortably on the sofa. She blinked and pointed at Su MO as she said to Zhou Ling, âI was about to bring Nai Nai back, but he stopped me and Nai Nai. He said that he had something to discuss with me in detail.â
Zhou Lingâs gaze returned to Su Mo.
Su MO, who was being stared at by Zhou Ling, immediately felt uneasy and explained, âNo, I just wanted to ask if Miss Liao knows anyone who can cook hotpot!â
Afraid that Zhou Ling wouldnât believe him, Su MO told him the whole story in one breath.
After hearing Su Moâs words, Zhou Lingâs gaze was no longer cold. However, when he looked at Su MO, he still looked unhappy.
Seeing Zhou Lingâs jealous look, Liao Ning couldnât help but cover her mouth and snicker. âAlright, Ling, stop looking at Mr. Su like that. He doesnât even dare to move anymore!â
Su Moâs body stiffened as Liao Ning teased him, but he still smiled. âMiss Liao is right. Colonel Zhou, letâs get down to business first. After that, Iâll immediately disappear from your sight.â
Zhou Ling sneered. He didnât say yes or no, but he looked away and stopped staring at him.
Seeing that Su MO had relaxed, Liao Ning asked him, âYou said that your grandmother had a missing old friend who knows how to cook ancient delicacies. Do you know the name of that old friend?â
âHer surname was Zhu, and her full name was Zhu Ying.â
âZhu Yingâ¦â Liao Ning began to search her memory for information about Zhu Ying, but she didnât expect to really find it.
Zhu Ying was Liao Ningâs grandma, but the original host didnât remember much about her grandma. The siblings only knew from their father that they had a grandma who knew how to cook ancient delicacies. However, their grandma wasnât in good health and passed away not long after their father got married.
Not knowing if the Zhu Ying Su MO was talking about was male or female, Liao
Ning asked, âIs Zhu Ying male or female?â
Su Mots eyes lit up and he quickly said, âSheâs a woman. Does that mean you know about Zhu Ying?â
Liao Ningâs gaze was complicated. âIf Iâm not mistaken, the Zhu Ying youâre talking about is my grandma, but sheâs been dead for many years.â
Su Mots eyes dimmed. âShe already passed awayâ¦â
He had thought that he would have a chance to see his grandmotherâs good friend this time. He wanted to bring his grandmotherâs good friend to his grandmotherâs cemetery, but he didnât expect to hear that she had passed away.
âSorry that I didnât get to help you.â
Su MO shook his head at Liao Ning. âNo, I should thank you. Otherwise, my grandmother might not have received any news of her good friend. Even if she canât meet her good friend now, she will definitely be happy that Zhu Ying has such outstanding descendants like you and General Liao!â
Liao Ning nodded at him. âYouâre right.â
However, Liao Ning still felt that something was amiss.. Since Zhu Ying was living well, why was she unwilling to contact her old friend and let her worry about her safety?
