Chapter 281: The Affairs of Prestigious Families_1
Only then did Xiao Ji regain his composure and looked at Su Hongxing appreciatively.
This girl was really sharp, dealing Ye Qilan such a move without making him lose face too much.
Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji got into a police car, rolled down the window, and said to the stone-faced Ye Qilan, “You’re about to get married. Spend more time with your bride-to-be instead of wasting it on insignificant people. You didn’t treat me well in the past, remember to treat the people around you well in the future. Goodbye, Ye Qilan.”
Ye Qilan narrowed his deep eyes, standing still, watching the police car carrying Su Hongxing drive away.
Did Su Hongxing think she could escape him that easily? What a fanciful dream!
He would make sure Su Hongxing understood that though she could run from the monk, she couldn’t run from the temple.
True enough, the police car delivered Su Hongxing and Xiao Ji to the foot of Xiao Ji’s office building.
Xiao Ji chatted with the police officer for a bit, watched the police car drive off into the distance, and then turned to Su Hongxing and said, “Let’s go.”
Su Hongxing followed Xiao Ji in silence into the elevator, and soon they reached Xiao Ji’s office floor.
Zhou Luhe was Xiao Ji’s secretary; seeing Xiao Ji return, she approached him joyfully.
Her smile had barely fully bloomed when she spotted Su Hongxing at Xiao Ji’s side. Instantly, her face turned ugly, “Su Hongxing, you’ve got the nerve to come to my turf…”
“Xiao Ji, isn’t this your company? When did it become Zhou Luhe’s property? Or did you become a member of the Zhou family, turning even your company into Zhou Luhe’s plaything?” Su Hongxing looked at Xiao Ji, a half-smile on her face.
Xiao Ji looked coldly at Zhou Luhe: “Secretary Zhou, we have a guest. As a secretary, do I still need to teach you what to do?”
Zhou Luhe, who usually held a high status in the company, how could she allow others to laugh at her expense?
All the employees in the company had stopped their work to secretly listen in on their conversation.
She suppressed her anger and took the lead in entering Xiao Ji’s office.
Seeing this, Su Hongxing turned to Xiao Ji, “It seems I should not have come to your company.”
“I’m glad you came. Let me show you around the company.” Xiao Ji responded enthusiastically.
Looking around distractedly, Su Hongxing replied, “I’ll go to the restroom first. Oh, can I borrow your phone?”
Xiao Ji unsuspectingly handed over his phone to Su Hongxing.
She took the phone to the bathroom and dialed Beichuan’s number.
The call connected quickly and she chatted with Beichuan for a bit before getting down to business.
Both of them agreed to stick to the original plan.
After about ten minutes, Su Hongxing hung up. She stood still for a moment, her mind drifting back to a past life.
She once thought about marrying Beichuan but discarded the idea remembering how he had manipulated her even after her marriage in a past life.
Though she couldn’t remember everything, she felt that if she had met a miserable end in her previous life, Beichuan probably had a part to play in it.
This time, she intended to use Beichuan first to achieve her own goals.
Su Hongxing waited quietly for the good news from Beichuan’s side while she stayed in Xiao Ji’s office playing with her phone.
Every time Zhou Luhe entered the office, she gave Su Hongxing a murderous look, but Su Hongxing simply ignored her.
As it turned out, Beichuan was highly efficient when it came to handling matters.
At three in the afternoon, a very interesting gossip post appeared on a famous forum, titled “The Affairs of the Famous Families”.
The content of the post mentioned the Y and C families, littered with heaps of praise. It also mentioned a pending marriage alliance between these two prominent families.
