“Ignore this crazy woman. Let’s go.” Rong Yebai dragged Su Qianxun away.
Su Manni watched them leave. She clutched her purse so tightly that it became misshapen. Eventually, she took a few deep breaths. Her daughter would win the award every single time no matter what happened. As long as she made sure everything went smoothly for her daughter, she would be fine.
As for her plan to deal with Su Qianxun, she could wait till after the award ceremony, once her daughter won.
When Su Qianxun walked out of the hospital, Mrs. Xia was waiting for her at the entrance. Spotting the woman, Su Qianxun furrowed her brows slightly.
“Do you want me to help you deal with her?” Rong Yebai asked.
“Not necessary, you go ahead first, wait for me in the car.” Su Qianxun knew Mrs. Xia’s temperament. No matter how much she disliked Su Qianxun, she would not do anything to her.
Seeing that she was so confident about this, Rong Yebai returned to his car.
Su Qianxun looked at Mrs. Xia.
“Qianxun, Chuxi and Yiren have already gotten married. Yiren is pregnant. She’s a good daughter-in-law. We are a happy family. I hope you won’t insert yourself and disrupt our family life,” Mrs. Xia said.
“Have I ever done that?” Si Qianxun smiled at the solemn woman before her.
“My son is living a good life now. He and my daughter-in-law are so very in love. I hope that from now on, you are able to keep the promise you just made.” The look on Mrs. Xia’s face darkened slightly. She then turned and walked away.
Su Qianxun thought it was a rather absurd statement. ‘Who is disrupting whose life, really?’
Seeing Mrs. Xia walk over, Qiao Yiren immediately said sweetly, “Mom, let’s go home. I’m craving the mandarin orange porridge you made.”
“Okay, I’ll make some for you once we get home.” Mrs. Xia helped Qiao Yiren into the car.
When Su Qianxun was about to get into Rong Yebai’s car, a black sedan stopped in front of her. The car door opened. Long Sijue dragged her in and shut the door. The car drove off.
Long Sijue did all those things within ten seconds. By the time Rong Yebai got out of his own vehicle, the car had already sped away. Enraged, he kept shouting and cursing, “F*ck, Long Sijue, what a sneaky bastard!”
Su Qianxun turned back to look at Rong Yebai, who was furious. She said, “I haven’t tried the clothes he’s prepared for me. What if none of them fits?”
“Have you really decided to wear those clothes?” Long Sijue asked as he furrowed his brows and stared at her.
“Yeah, what’s the problem?” Su Qianxun was genuinely confused by what he said. ‘Why shouldn’t I wear the clothes that Rong Yebai prepared? Did he settle that for me?’
Long Sijue did not speak.
“If not, what should I wear then?” Su Qianxun looked at him, puzzled.
“I’m telling my people to get some clothes for you, see which one fits,” Long Sijue said.
Su Qianxun was surprised.
She sensed that he had been acting strangely today.
…
At the hospital.
Gu Ling’s leg was broken. After Tang Zui released him, he had been staying at the hospital. Gu Mian did not have much to do lately, so she visited him once in a while.
“Mian Mian, what is Tang Zui doing these days? Is he busy? You were supposed to come home with him on the second day of Chinese New Year. You said he was injured. Where is he now? Why is he not with you?” Mrs. Gu complained, staring at her daughter.
“He had been lying in the hospital until a while ago,” Gu Mian replied quietly.
“Mom, don’t be unreasonable. Tang Zui is a busy man. He has to manage Long Corporation and our company account… he doesn’t have time for you.” Gu Ling was unhappy with the fact that Tang Zui was in charge of the Gu family’s company finance.
If he was able to withdraw money from the company account, he would not have to be in so much pain.
“You have the guts to say that? If it weren’t for Tang Zui managing the company finance, you would most likely bankrupt the company once again!” Mrs. Gu shot her son a furious glare.
Gu Ling was dumbstruck.
“Mian Mian, ask Tang Zui if he is free this weekend. Tell him to come over for dinner. Since you two got married, we have never had a meal together. That’s not the way it should be.”
Gu Mian had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, “I’ll ask him when I get home… he might be too busy to come over.”
