The United States
A middle - aged man was sitting in a five - star hotel. He had a Bluetooth earphone in his ear, a red wine glass in his left hand, gently swirling the red liquid inside. He was listening to his subordinate's report through the earphone.
The middle - aged man looked to be under fifty. His deep facial features made him look different from a typical American. Mainly, the aura of a powerful man emanating from him made him seem like a lazy tiger. Even though he was dozing off, no one dared to get close.
This man was the well - known Italian mafia godfather, codenamed Poison Dragon. He was quite famous in the underworld.
"Boss, we've recently locked in a target. The president of Shengshi is twenty - six this year, and it matches the person you're looking for." The voice in the earphone was in Italian.
"I'm already in the United States now," Poison Dragon said, with a hint of a smile in his tone. "I'll go and take a look at this president of Shengshi you mentioned tomorrow."
The voice in the earphone suddenly stammered, "But boss, that president of Shengshi... has already left the United States."
"Oh..." Poison Dragon's expression changed slightly. "Are you lying to me?"
"No, no, boss. I... I also got the wrong information," came the panicked voice of the subordinate in the earphone. "Since we haven't been involved in matters here in the United States, the information we got is not very accurate..."
Poison Dragon's lips curled up in a cruel arc. "I don't want to hear nonsense. You guys can sort yourselves out."
"Boss..."
Beep beep beep -
Poison Dragon looked at the TV in front of him. A bloody and violent movie was playing. He watched silently, then casually lit a cigarette and leisurely blew out a smoke ring. "Shengshi..."
When he was in Italy before, he heard that the underworld forces had gathered in the United States. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he accidentally learned that the leader was a twenty - six - year - old young man. The age of twenty - six really caught Poison Dragon's attention, so he started to fully investigate this young man's information.
Not long ago, he found out that this young man seemed to have his own company in the United States, which was the well - known Shengshi. So Poison Dragon decided to come to the United States. He just didn't expect that his subordinates would give the wrong report and say that the person had already left the United States. He, Poison Dragon, hated being deceived the most in his life. Well, there was nothing he could do. Let those stupid subordinates fend for themselves. Next, he would find out the information himself!
...
Su Rou hadn't been sleeping well these days because the morning sickness was really torturing. Su Yuze specially put a pack of pickled plums on Su Rou's bedside every day so that if she felt uncomfortable, she could just reach out and grab one to eat.
"Is there any other way to stop the morning sickness?" Su Yuze gently patted Su Rou's back while frowning. This morning sickness was really torturous. Could they only watch her vomit helplessly?
Nanny Wang said she had no idea either. "This is a hurdle that all women have to go through..."
Su Rou gently patted her chest and then sighed. "I finally understand how hard it is to be a mother." Just being pregnant was already this tiring. When it came to giving birth, it would surely be even more painful.
"Miss, what would you like to eat?" Nanny Wang felt so sorry for Su Rou seeing how uncomfortable she was and quickly asked.
"Pickled vegetables..." Su Rou touched her belly. She just wanted to eat something sour to whet her appetite. She had no appetite for big fish and meat or anything else.
Nanny Wang nodded repeatedly. "Okay, I'll go and cook right away."
It wasn't even noon yet. Nanny Wang thought for a while, rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen to start cooking. Su Yuze put his arm around Su Rou and sat on the sofa. "Feeling better? Still want to vomit?"
"Um... It's okay." Su Rou leaned on Su Yuze's shoulder, nodded gently and closed her eyes to rest.
Su Yuze gently stroked Su Rou's hair. Not long after, they heard someone knocking on the door. Su Rou opened her eyes slightly. "Who is it?"
"You sit still. I'll go and open the door." Su Yuze frowned slightly. Who was so inconsiderate to come knocking on the door at noon?
Su Yuze opened the door with a cold face. When the door opened, he was a bit surprised. "Grandpa?"
"Yeah." Su Rongqi walked in with some supplements in his hand.
"Why did you come?" Su Yuze asked.
"I was free, so I came to see you guys. Xiaorou is pregnant. I bought some supplements. They're all good for pregnant women."
Su Rou poked her head out from behind the sofa. "Grandpa."
"Didn't you rest for a while?" Su Rongqi thought Su Rou was sleeping in the bedroom. He didn't expect to see her lying on the sofa.
Su Rou scratched her head. "Um... I felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep, so I got up."
"Still not feeling well?" Su Rongqi frowned slightly. "Didn't Yuze take you to the hospital to have a check?"
"No, it's just morning sickness. It's very normal," Su Rou explained. "Grandpa, you... " What did you come for?
Su Rongqi picked up the things in his hand and showed them to Su Rou. "These are supplements for you."
Su Rou looked at Su Yuze and then nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa."
"Yuze."
Su Rongqi handed the things to Su Yuze and then sat down next to Su Rou. "How's the baby?"
"Everything's fine. We just had a prenatal check - up the day before yesterday, and everything's okay," Su Rou replied with a smile. "It's just that the morning sickness still hasn't gone away."
Su Rongqi immediately waved his hand. "This is a small thing. When your grandma was giving birth, she started vomiting from the third month and kept on vomiting until she gave birth. She got used to it."
"Ah... Really?" It was so scary. There were really people who vomited from the start until they gave birth. Wouldn't that be extremely uncomfortable?
"Yeah. Back then when the conditions weren't as good as they are now, it was really tough," Su Rongqi said as he talked about the past. There was a hint of warmth in his eyes and he looked much kinder. Su Rongqi had always been quite close to Su Rou, but after that incident, things changed.
But now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the grandfather - granddaughter relationship had been restored. It was just that Su Rou's identity had changed from granddaughter to granddaughter - in - law.
Su Yuze put the things away and walked over. "Grandpa, stay for lunch."
"Sure." Su Rongqi nodded.
"Nanny Wang, add a few more dishes," Su Yuze called out to the kitchen.
"Yes, young master." Nanny Wang nodded. Looking at the three people in the living room, the scene was quite warm.
"Grandpa, tell me more about grandma," Su Rou said. She hadn't seen Su Rongqi looking so kind for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Sure."
