Sheng Yalun brought up the past, Su Hongxing quietly listened to it all, then said, “Your flattery won’t fool me. If you want me to heal Ye Qilan, give me five million. Not a cent less!”
Sheng Yalun is not short of money, but he hesitates to agree to her terms, fearing that Ye Qilan would settle scores with him afterwards.
“I can’t give you the money. If Qilan finds out, I’ll be in deep trouble!” replied Sheng Yalun helplessly.
Su Hongxing had already expected this response from Sheng Yalun, and she adamantly replied: “Then there’s no need for us to continue this conversation!”
“Don’t you want to see how Qilan looks after falling in love with you?” Sheng Yalun interrupted Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing hung up the phone right away.
It was then that Sheng Yalun confirmed one thing. When Su Hongxing demanded money, she meant money. Apart from that, everything else was off the table. No amount of smooth talking could convince Su Hongxing to heal Ye Qilan for free.
After some hesitation, Sheng Yalun finally decided to bite the bullet, prepared a bank card with five million on it, and placed it in a password-protected box anonymously.
In the end, he sent a message to Su Hongxing, telling her the money was ready and she could take it anytime. However, she must first heal Ye Qilan.
Having chatted with Sheng Yalun for nearly half an hour, she turned around to find Qiao Qiao thoughtfully looking at her retreating figure.
” Who were you chatting with? You seemed so happy,” asked Qiao Qiao.
She had been shopping with Su Hongxing for most of the day, but hadn’t seen a single smile on her face. After the phone call, Su Hongxing’s mood improved, something seemed fishy about that call.
“If you like something, just pick it out, I’ll pay for it,” Su Hongxing avoided Qiao Qiao’s question.
Qiao Qiao didn’t feel like shopping any further. She pulled Su Hongxing to sit next to her and asked, “Tell me the truth, is Ye Qilan good to you? Is he with Cao Shiyu again today? The marriage alliance between the Cao and Ye families…”
“The marriage alliance between the Cao and Ye families is bound to happen, it’s an established fact that won’t change,” Su Hongxing said and then saw Qiao Qiao’s eyes turn red. “Silly girl, why are you crying?”
She, the one personally involved, hadn’t cried, yet Qiao Qiao was crying. This silly girl.
“Su, I’m sorry…” Qiao Qiao hugged Su Hongxing and then let loose a wail.
This scared Su Hongxing. Qiao Qiao was not a woman prone to crying. Why was she crying so bitterly this time?
“What are you saying sorry to me for?” Su Hongxing quickly wiped away Qiao Qiao’s tears.’T’m fine, really. Ye Qilan marrying Cao Shiyu is a win-win. Besides, Cao Shiyu is devoted to him. The Cao and Ye families would never end this marriage alliance.”
“But if they get married, what about you? Do you plan to remain nameless and accompany Ye Qilan for a lifetime?” Qiao Qiao said and could not help but start crying again.
“Don’t worry, I have my own plans.” Su Hongxing did not say much, lest she pulls Qiao Qiao down with her.
It took some time for Su Hongxing to console Qiao Qiao, when Ye Qilan called to ask where she was, he wanted to pick her up and take her home.
Qiao Qiao was hiding on the side and eavesdropped on the call. She was fuming, “After fooling around with Cao Shiyu, he comes to fool you. What does he take you for? You jerk, scumbag!”
“Okay okay, you’re right. You should go home first, he’ll come pick me up soon.” Su Hongxing was afraid of a confrontation between Qiao Qiao and Ye Qilan.
She didn’t want Ye Qilan to see Qiao Qiao and use her as a threat.
“I’m not leaving. I want to confront him—” Qiao Qiao said.
