Gu Jiaojiao saw Su Shuochi through the crowd. He looked incredibly proud, the corners of his mouth stretched into a wide grin.
She could even feel him trembling slightly. He was usually so stern and reserved, but right now, he was grinning like a fool.
Her heart warmed. 'This man is so adorably foolish.'
She cut through the crowd and walked straight to Su Shuochi. "There's nothing else for me to do here, so I'll be leaving."
The people who wanted to curry favor with her were speechless...
'But we still have so much to say!'
It wasn't until the sight of Gu Jiaojiao pushing the wheelchair disappeared from view that everyone snapped back to reality.
Xi Guodong also stared, entranced, at her departing figure until the beautiful silhouette was gone.
Only then did he turn to look at Mr. Xi, who was being wheeled out. "Grandpa, you're awake?"
A group of officials under Xi Gaoguan began to gossip in hushed tones, something they'd never done before.
