Chapter 66 Acting

  The next afternoon, Chen Tong and Ning Yu continued to go to school, while Su Nan went to the hospital and treated Liu Shaozhou and Du's father-in-law again. After the examination, he told them that after another treatment today, they could prepare for discharge. You only need to rest at home for half a month, and you won't need any more treatment afterwards.

  Su Nan declined Liu Tian's invitation to have lunch together and went home to wait for Chen Tong and Ning Yu to return before heading to Tian City. As for Du Lai, he deeply remembered Su Nan's help and reminded himself that when the opportunity arose, he would definitely repay Su Nan.

  Back home, Chen Tong and Ning Yu had already returned. The three of them went out to lunch, and Ning Yu made a phone call for someone to come over, agreeing to meet at the school gate.

  Before long, a BMW X6 sped over and screeched to a halt in front of them.

  "Xiao Yu!" A young man, about 21 or 22 years old, with a heroic air and a spirited appearance, got off the car. He was dressed in a neat and tidy manner. When he saw Su Nan standing beside Ning Yu, he deliberately looked him up and down.

  "This is my elder male cousin, Ning Yunqiang." Ning Yu introduced. Then he also introduced Su Nan and Chen Tong to Ning Yunqiang.

  "Hello." Ning Yunqiang stretched out his hand towards Su Nan.

  "Hello." Su Nan said, while also extending his hand to shake Ning Yunqiang's.

  "Huh?" Su Nan furrowed his brow, and just as he had grasped Ning Yunqiang's hand, he felt Ning Yunqiang suddenly exert force, tightly grabbing onto his palm, and his strength was still increasing unceasingly.

  Su Nan's mouth corners slightly curled up, and his hands didn't use much force, instead he actively withdrew the strength.

  Ning Yunqiang did not expect Su Nan to respond in such a way. In his opinion, Su Nan would definitely go all out to compete with him. As a result, when he grabbed over, it was like grabbing a cotton ball, without any leverage point, causing him to waste his strength in vain.

  Just as Ning Yunqiang was astonished, Su Nan's counterattack had already begun. A tyrannical force burst forth from his hand, not only making his palm as hard as steel, but also sending Ning Yunqiang's hand flying back in recoil.

  Ning Yunqiang only felt that his right hand suddenly became unbearably painful, making him almost unable to bear it and wanting to shake off Su Nan's hand to hold and rub it well.

  He smiled awkwardly, Ning Yunqiang finally controlled his movements, although his expression was still calm, the movement of his hands was extremely fast, and after releasing it, he quickly pulled it back.

  "Good, very good!" Although Chen Tong and Ning Yu didn't know, Su Nan understood that Ning Yun had lost this underground battle with great pleasure. He could only praise Su Nan a couple of times to show his concession.

  With a faint smile, Su Nan didn't say anything. This time Ning Yun had launched a sudden attack, and Su Nan only resisted without counterattacking, already giving him face. If he admitted defeat and was still polite to him, it would make Su Nan seem too weak.

  "Xiao Yu, what are you going to Tiancheng for?" Ning Yunqiang asked.

  "Third brother, you don't need to worry about these things, just send us over and that's fine." Ning Yu didn't explain too much to Ning Yunqiang. She was mainly accompanying Chen Tong, and what they were going to do was Chen Tong's private business, which didn't require her to explain too much to Ning Yunqiang.

  "How can that be, since I'm sending you over, I have to be responsible for your safety. What if something happens, won't Third Uncle and Third Aunt blame me to death?" Ning Yun argued back.

  "Hey, Third Brother, that's Chen Tong's business, you don't have to worry about it too much." Ning Yu said with a pout, "Besides, isn't Su Nan accompanying us? Let me tell you, Su Nan is quite skilled, I think even you can't beat him."

  Although Ning Yu said it unintentionally, Ning Yunqiang indeed lost to Su Nan in the previous match. Hearing Ning Yu's words now, he suddenly blushed with shame, "Alright, since you have Su Nan accompanying you, I can rest assured."

  "Is Su Nan also a student of Pucheng University?" Ning Yunqiang started chatting with Su Nan after the car left the city and got on the highway.

  "No." Sunan replied.

  "What are you doing now?" Ning Yunqiang asked again. Looking at Su Nan's relationship with the two girls, they were all quite close, but more importantly, Ning Yunqiang was paying attention to Ning Yu, he could tell from her eyes that she absolutely regarded Su Nan as a friend.

  "I'm just idle now, just drifting along." Su Nan replied, he still couldn't define what he was doing at the moment.

  "Oh." Ning Yunqiang casually responded, but he wouldn't believe it. He knew his sister had been proud and arrogant since she was a child, if Su Nan were just an ordinary person, she would be polite to him, but she would never become friends with him.

  "Third Brother, what are you doing? Are you investigating? This isn't your unit." Ning Yu discontentedly complained to Ning Yunqiang.

  "Haha!" Ning Yun laughed loudly twice, "Alright, I won't ask anymore, lest Little Yu gets unhappy again."

  They were all young people and had a lot in common. Even if they didn't talk about personal matters, the four of them still chatted non-stop along the way.

  They arrived at Tian City, and Ning Yunqiang helped the three find an inn to stay in. As for Ning Yunqiang himself, he originally had a special mission in Tian City, otherwise, he really wouldn't have had time to send Su Nan and the others over.

  Leave the car for Sunan, so they can move more conveniently. Ning Yunqiang made a phone call and asked someone to pick him up.

  "Su Nan, let's go out and buy some gifts." Ning Yu said.

  Hearing Ning Yu's words, Su Nan was slightly surprised, "Gifts, are we going to visit someone?"

  "Cough cough." Chen Tong's face suddenly turned red, hesitated for a while, then said, "Su Nan, I'll tell you about it anyway."

  Chen Tong hesitated and couldn't speak clearly for a moment. Ning Yu stepped forward, "Chen Tong, don't be embarrassed, I'll talk to Su Nan about this instead."

  "Chen Tong's hometown is Tiancheng, but her father went to university in Pucheng and stayed there after graduation until now. In Tiancheng, Chen Tong still has her grandfather, uncle, and aunt. This time, her aunt wants to introduce her to a potential suitor, so she urged Chen Tong to return home and meet the person. If everything goes smoothly, they will settle the matter."

  "What?" Su Nan asked in surprise, "Isn't Chen Tong only 19 years old? Why arrange a marriage for her so early? Are you afraid she won't be able to get married? That's impossible. A beautiful girl like her just needs to say the word and those suitors will break their heads to pursue her!"

  "Get out!" Ning Yu couldn't help but lightly punch Su Nan's chest, "At this time, you still have the mood to make these jokes. Let me tell you, Chen Tong is not willing to do this thing at all, but her family is summoning her and she can't not come back. So after discussing it with each other, we thought of a trick, pulling you in as a shield, and then saying you're Chen Tong's boyfriend, helping her block this matter."

  Chen Tong also grumbled beside him, "I'm almost worried to death, you still have the mood to joke around, hurry up and say it, are you willing or not to help with this?" Looking at Su Nan's eyes with a hint of expectation.

  "Alright." Su Nan made a resolute expression, "In order to let Chen Tong live happily in the future, I'll risk my life to be your human shield this one time."

  "This is pretty good." Ning Yu praised, with a hint of melancholy flashing in the corner of his eyes, which soon turned into excitement, thrilled that Chen Tong had found a shield to counterattack against his family.

  After things were settled, Su Nan spoke up and said: "Since you all say so, it's really necessary to go out and buy some gifts. After all, as Chen Tong's boyfriend, if I show up empty-handed, that would be very impolite."

  The three of them discussed and decided, then left the hotel, went out to the mall, to prepare gifts for tomorrow's visit to Chen Tong's grandfather's house.

  Prepare the gift, Chen Tong again introduced her family situation to Su Nan, so that he can prepare and avoid unexpected situations, let the family members find out that they are acting, otherwise all their efforts will be in vain.

  Chen Tong's grandfather and grandmother were both professors at Tiancheng University, long since retired. Her uncle also works at Tiancheng University and is now the vice president. Her aunt works in the provincial government, and this time she was introducing a young master from a deputy provincial governor's family. As for Chen Tong's parents, she chose to selectively forget and didn't introduce them, so Su Nan naturally pretended not to notice and didn't ask.

  The next day, the three of them got up early and after having breakfast, they headed straight to Chen Tong's grandfather's house. According to her aunt's arrangement, she was supposed to return home before noon. After discussing with her family, they would meet with the vice governor's family again in the evening, and if everything went smoothly, the matter would be settled.

  The staff quarters of Tiancheng University have a row of single-door courtyards, one of which has a small cluster of green bamboo planted at the door, and Chen Tong's grandparents live here.

  Chen Tong and Ning Yu walked hand in hand ahead, while Su Nan followed closely behind them with several gift boxes, entering the small courtyard.

  "Su Nan, don't worry, my grandparents are very open-minded and they love me very much. If they know about our relationship, they won't make things difficult for you. If you behave well, maybe they can even help us persuade your aunt."

  Chen Tong now clearly enters the role and completely treats Su Nan as her own boyfriend.

  "Uh-huh." Su Nan responded with a simple "yes", not saying much more. Since he had agreed to help Chen Tong, he would do his best. As Chen Tong's boyfriend, this was his first time visiting her home, so it was better for him to be honest and humble. It's better not to say anything unnecessary, lest he reveal too much about himself. This was probably the right attitude to have anyway.

  "Grandpa! Grandma!"

  Chen Tong shouted loudly and pushed open the door, walking inside.

  "Ah." A voice responded from inside, an old lady with white hair and a spirited appearance walked out of the inner room, "It's Xiaotong who has returned, hurry up and come into the house. You haven't been home for several months, Grandma almost died thinking about you."

  While talking, he glanced at Ning Yu beside Chen Tong and Su Nan following behind, his hands full of items, with a strange look in his eyes.
