Chapter 4: Su Haiming
1031 Words
People come and go in the hospital, like the two sides of a coin, hope and sorrow. The difference is that the two sides of a coin will never intersect, but the hopes and sorrows of life occur simultaneously.
Su Anran did not dare to rashly go to the hospital. Although she knew she would never see her parents again, the strong desire in her heart was hard to control, even if it was just to send them off.
When she stood in front of Wang Fusheng, she felt a bit uneasy: "Mr. Wang, I want to go to the hospital."
Wang Fusheng looked up at her. In his eyes, her grievances were hers alone, and he did not want to get involved. However, seeing her standing there awkwardly, not knowing how to address him, he finally managed to say, "Sir," and picked up the car keys, saying, "I’ll take you."
Su Anran actually wanted to borrow money for a taxi, but since he offered to take her, she thought for a moment and silently accepted. If she encountered Su Haiming's people, at least she would have some help.
Wang Fusheng drove a silver-gray Land Rover, skillfully heading towards Seattle Hospital. Su Anran looked out the window at the bleak street scene, finally able to accept the fact that she had been reborn.
In her previous life, Su Anran was a girl with extremely simple thoughts. She would believe others' words, only seeing the surface of things, and was too lazy to think about the deeper meanings behind them. Perhaps this was a common flaw of girls raised in wealth. She tried hard to calm her emotions; she couldn’t cry or show too much emotional fluctuation because she was afraid that someone related to Su Haiming would find out her whereabouts.
When the car came to a stop, she got out, and before she could close the door, she saw a black Mercedes approaching in the distance.
She recognized that car; it belonged to the Su family’s subsidiary in Seattle. Her father had said he brought her and her mother here for vacation, but in reality, he also needed to free up time to handle business affairs. To prevent them from getting bored, he would send the driver to take them out for fun, using that very car.
Su Anran quickly turned back to the car, bending down. Wang Fusheng, who was about to get out, saw her like this and didn’t ask any further. He simply closed the door he had just opened, resting his left hand on the window while lazily flipping through a magazine in the car.
The black Mercedes slowly passed by the Land Rover, and in the back seat was Su Haiming.
Seven years ago, Su Haiming was younger, with a good family background and a taste in clothing that exuded a mature charm that young, handsome boys could not compare to.
At this moment, he had a gloomy expression, a hint of sorrow on his face. He inadvertently glanced at the Land Rover parked nearby and the man flipping through the magazine, then turned his head, recalling the argument he had with Chen Zheng the night before.

When Su Haiming learned that his younger brother Su Zhu's entire family had perished in the car accident, he was at a loss for words, his heart filled with a mix of joy and desolation that made it hard for him to remain calm.
The office door was kicked open, and Chen Zheng barged in, pulling him out of his Italian-imported office chair and punching him unexpectedly.
Chen Zheng pointed at him and scolded, "You, Su Haiming, are so ambitious! That was your own brother! How could you bear to do this to them? They had a daughter who was only 18!" After saying this, he tried to kick him, but was stopped by the security guard who had come in.
He spat angrily, cursing, "Su Zhu's mad dog!"
Thinking of this, he snorted coldly. This was not bad; at least it meant they were really dead? Su Haiming, who had always been suspicious, could not fully relax until he saw their bodies.
Seeing is believing; that was his main purpose for coming here.
He stepped out of the car, cleared his throat, and made his expression even sadder.
He had to face the media, the Su Group, and his father, who had always thought he was cold-hearted.

"They are gone," Wang Fusheng said to Su Anran.
Su Anran straightened up and was about to get out of the car.
"If you go in now, you might run into him," Wang Fusheng calmly reminded her, as if he were talking about something trivial.
Su Anran shook her head. She should have gone to see her parents the moment she was reborn. First, she knew they were gone, and most importantly, when she faced the fact of her rebirth, her mind was in a mess, and her instinct was to escape. But at this moment, she was determined to go. So she pushed open the car door, put on the hood of her coat, and wrapped her scarf around her neck.
Wang Fusheng shook his head, helplessly following her out of the car.

The elevator stopped on the thirteenth floor, and a sturdy man in a black suit stood at the door of the morgue. Su Anran recognized him as Ah Hu, who had just followed Su Haiming but would later become his henchman. However, he clearly did not know her yet. Wang Fusheng glanced at her, and Su Anran nodded, indicating that Su Haiming was definitely inside.
On the other side stood a nurse on duty, short in stature, looking a bit dazed. When she saw Su Anran and Wang Fusheng about to speak, she interrupted them.
Wang Fusheng looked at the bodyguard standing at the door and said in English, "There’s someone inside; let’s wait a bit."
The nurse responded lazily and continued to stare into space.
Soon, loud arguing could be heard from inside the morgue, but it was too far away for Su Anran to hear clearly.
