Chapter 51: Chapter 51: What Has Miss Su Been Doing Recently?
Editor: Atlas Studios
He Jingyao walked out from the VIP passage, and the bodyguards standing on both sides blocked all curious and prying eyes for him.
Uncle Li opened the car door, and when He Jingyao approached, he smiled and said, “Young master, you’re back.”
He Jingyao nodded slightly, took off his sunglasses, and asked, “What has Miss Su been up to lately?”
“Miss Su has been busy preparing for the Challenge Cup competition,” Uncle Li replied with a smile, “This competition is hosted by Lingyun Group and has a significant influence. Currently, it’s being overseen by Young Master Yun. The competition will be held at Muyun Hotel tomorrow.”
He Jingyao’s lips curved slightly, “Call Shenhan and tell him to reserve a guest spot for me.”
“Yes,” Uncle Li was not surprised at all.
“Also,” He Jingyao suddenly recalled something, “that item I gave her last time, has she used it?”
Uncle Li shook his head, “Maybe Miss Su hasn’t had the chance yet.”
He Jingyao snorted lightly in displeasure.
This so-called competition was so important that it made her forget to eat and sleep.
A week of business trips had never felt so torturous for He Jingyao. He wondered if Su Zixi had thought of him often.
Uncle Li coughed lightly and couldn’t help but say, “Young master, madam has called many times, urging you to marry Miss Xia within this year.”
He Jingyao frowned, “Which Miss Xia?”
“Miss Xia Xinyu, the young lady of the Xia Family,” Uncle Li dutifully explained, “She has openly stated long ago that even if she cannot be close to you, she is still willing to be your wife and is willing to have children for you through IVF, so madam is very fond of her.”
Given the He Family’s status, there were quite a few women willing to marry He Jingyao despite his flaws. However, for Madam He, casually finding a woman for her son seemed too undeserving.
After all, the Xia Family was also a prominent family and not much lower in status than the He Family. Therefore, Xia Xinyu’s stance made Madam He overjoyed, and she had long chosen Xia Xinyu as her daughter-in-law.
He Jingyao vaguely remembered his mother mentioning it to him before. But as far as he recalled, he had not agreed to it.
He never had an interest in such marriages before, let alone now.
He Jingyao’s lips curved slightly, “You should know how to pacify her.”
“I will reassure madam,” Uncle Li understood perfectly, “However, madam won’t find out about Miss Su for now.”
He Jingyao nodded in satisfaction and bent down to enter the car.
Early in the morning, Shen Yushan led the team to the competition venue at Muyun Hotel to prepare in advance.
Su Zixi was still in the dormitory, rummaging through her wardrobe.
After a while, she finally found the jacket.
It was a navy-style jacket with the character “Ning” embroidered on the collar in seal script. Ning Yichen had asked about this jacket, so it must have significant meaning to him.
Back then, it was this deep blue back she saw, rushing into the middle of the street when everyone else was still reacting…
Su Zixi took a deep breath and quietly observed the jacket for a while before folding it up and putting it in a bag.
After the competition today, she would give the jacket to Su Lianxi. Keeping this jacket had long lost its meaning for her.
