Chapter 697 Growth

The two brothers were bickering at the hospital when Su Miaomiao returned with her bag.

"Oh, you're finally back. I almost called the police." Su Tianbei sighed in relief upon seeing his sister. "Did he brainwash you again?"

"No. Where's Dad?" Su Miaomiao asked.

"He's tired, he's already asleep."

"Okay, then you guys should rest early too." Su Miaomiao said to them and walked towards the ward.

"Hey, let me tell you, Dad can fly now, so we're going home." Su Tianbei felt that his sister had been fooled and immediately gave her a warning.

Su Miaomiao ignored him and simply waved goodbye.

"She's been a bit slow since she was a kid." Su Tianbei watched his sister's back as she left, then turned to Su Tianyu and said, "I think she's going to be abducted."

"You should worry about yourself." Su Tianyu rolled his eyes. "You've been out there for so long and haven't even settled down. How dare you talk about others?!"

"I'm a man, how can I be the same? Even if I get played, it's still taking advantage...!" Su Tianbei argued.

...

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly in a clear blue sky.

Su Miaomiao pushed her father in his wheelchair, taking him for a walk in the hospital park. Perhaps Second Uncle sensed his daughter's mood, as he didn't say much the whole time.

Beside the park's artificial lake, Second Uncle Su waved his hand: "Alright, stop pushing, or I'll fall into the water."

Su Miaomiao stopped and walked to the front of the wheelchair: "Dad, I've thought it over. I want to marry Gui Mengjun."

"You have no memory…!" Second Uncle Su knew what she was going to say without even thinking.

"Dad, can we not argue today?" Su Miaomiao replied with a serious look on her face.

Second Uncle Su frowned and fell silent. He felt that his daughter's mood was obviously very calm today, and she even seemed much more mature.

"Tell me your reasons." Su Miaomiao placed her hands on her father's legs and said firmly, "First of all, I really like him. I've never felt this way about any other man. If we can't be together, it might be a regret for the rest of my life. Besides, you know my personality. If this regret can't be eliminated… I won't marry another man, because that's not fair to me or to them."

"Sigh." Second Uncle Su sighed upon hearing this.

"Dad, besides feelings, I've also considered many other factors these past few days." Su Miaomiao looked at her father and said softly, "I think if I marry him, it will help the family a lot."

These words stunned Second Uncle Su, and he didn't react for a moment.

"You haven't been managing the family business much in recent years, and you don't know much about what's going on in the Tongji Association." Su Miaomiao frowned slightly and said, "We can't compare to Mingyuan or Zhou Tonghui. Mingyuan and he both have family support, so they have a margin for error in everything they do, but we don't. Our family can only rely on ourselves, rely on Old Li, who likes Sixth Brother! Dad, I'm not saying we should compete with them… I just don't want Second Brother, Sixth Brother, and Big Brother to be so tired… I want to help them."

Second Uncle Su's eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Dad, our Su family's current situation was earned by those three brothers risking their lives, especially this time in the Old Triangle. I felt it the most deeply." Su Miaomiao looked at her father. "You said, a woman like me and an old man like you who hasn't been in charge for many years, they want to kill us using this method. What kind of situation and encounters do Big Brother, Second Brother, and Sixth Brother face every day when they're out there managing various things? We didn't know before, and they always reported good news and not bad… Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Second Uncle Su nodded slowly. "Yes, I didn't leave you children much of a fortune, and you really have to rely on yourselves for many things."

"Dad, don't say that! In my life before, your efforts have already made us better off than many of our peers. Besides, even if our family was very poor, you still raised me! I've never complained about not being the child of an official or a super-rich person. I just want to express… I'm also a member of the Su family, and I want to help the family." Su Miaomiao said very seriously, "If I marry Gui Mengjun, Old Li will love Sixth Brother more and give our family more resources, and everyone won't have to be so tired. From the perspective of the Old Triangle, if I can marry Mengjun, the Southwest Military Region will also give us a lot of support and resource inclination… This will reduce a lot of pressure on Second Brother and Sixth Brother."

Second Uncle Su lowered his head.

"Of course, all of this is based on the fact that I really like Gui Mengjun." Su Miaomiao grabbed her father's hand. "Father, you must trust your daughter's judgment. I won't choose the wrong person, and I won't be fooled by anyone's sweet words. I have my own ideas and my own desires for the future… So this time, let me make my own decisions, okay?"

Second Uncle Su reached out and touched his daughter's head. "I never wanted to interfere in your personal affairs… I disagreed because I care about you and worry about you! But to be honest, I didn't expect you to say such things to me today. You've grown up, my daughter."

Su Miaomiao lowered her head and lay on her father's lap: "I will be happy in the future."

"If you've thought it over, I won't interfere." Second Uncle Su sighed, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. My daughter is so smart, she definitely won't make the wrong choice. If you want to marry him, Dad blesses you!"

Beside the artificial lake, Su Miaomiao used very rational words to convince her father. It was from this moment that the carefree Third Sister gradually matured. She was no longer like before, protected by her family's brothers. After experiencing the turmoil in the Old Triangle, she also realized that since she was a beneficiary of the family, she had to do something for the family.

Su Miaomiao decided that she would marry far away in the Old Triangle, choosing her own love and completing a family alliance.

She was going to leave the Dragon City where she had lived for more than twenty years and come to a strange country to start a new life.

What will the future be like?

Who can say for sure…

...

Ten days later.

Su Tiannan appeared in a small town called Conyers in District One. There were fifteen other people accompanying him this time, and they had a big task to accomplish.

Inside a very old apartment in the town of Conyers, a middle-aged man crossed his arms and said, "The situation is urgent. The target is likely to be transferred to Washington soon, so we need to act in advance. However, the security measures at the target location are relatively strict, and there are not many opportunities to act outside. We need to select ten warriors to infiltrate through other means…!"
