Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Returning to Homeland, Encountering Familiar Faces_1
Ye Qiulan is no longer the person he was three years ago. He now wields power and influence, paying little regards even to his own family.
Su Hongxing thinks that unless she also holds power, it would be impossible to stand against Ye Qiulan. Unfortunately, she lacks the capabilities to do so.
Before making her decision, Su Hongxing called Mo Li, seeking his thoughts.
Mo Li assured her that no matter what she chose to do, he would support her unconditionally. He added that she could rest easy knowing that he would take good care of the company.
Thereafter, Su Hongxing placed a phone call to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen acted swiftly. It didn’t take long for him to send someone over…
Observing from afar, Age relayed Su Hongxing’s activities to Ye Qiulan.
However, Ye Qiulan provided no instruction, only muttering to himself, “She certainly has a cold heart.”
Her company was in S City. She just up and left it, all to avoid him.
What Su Hongxing didn’t know was that he was preparing to return to Taicheng to take back everything that should belong to him.
The place where he fell was Taicheng, and it was there he would rise again.
Now that Su Hongxing had returned to Taicheng on her own, it saved him a lot of trouble.
However, Taicheng couldn’t compare to S City. With Cao Zhen in the city, getting close to Su Hongxing would likely prove to be a challenge.
Su Hongxing was indeed ruthless in her effort to distance herself from Ye Qiulan. She even abandoned her own company, flying overnight to Taicheng.
Setting foot on her homeland again brought an incomparable sense of familiarity, as well as the joy and excitement of returning home.
No matter how vast the outside world was, it couldn’t compare to the comfort of being on familiar soil.
Cao Zhen personally picked her up from the airport. The moment he saw Su Hongxing, he seemed to have seen Jiang Chengyun in her youth. Only, Su Hongxing was even more beautiful.
And this girl was his, Cao Zhen’s, daughter.
Cao Zhen opened his arms, and Su Hongxing smiled, throwing herself into his embrace, “Dad, I’m home.”
“It’s good to be home, it’s good to be home…” Cao Zhen, who had been in politics for many years, admitted that if there was anything that could still move him, it would only be his daughter, Su Hongxing.
“I’ll take you home.” Cao Zhen fought back his tears for a moment, hiding his emotional state.
“I want to stay in a hotel for now.”
From Su Hongxing’s comment, Cao Zhen immediately understood what she meant.
“Alright, whatever you decide. But I would still like to take care of you nearby.” Cao Zhen quickly took Su Hongxing to a hotel used by the city government’s office.
After saying goodbye to Cao Zhen, Su Hongxing took a comforting hot bath before going to bed.
For the next two days, Su Hongxing stayed in her hotel room, not leaving for anything.
She knew that Ye Qiulan wouldn’t let her go so easily. But she thought that in Taicheng, people with power and influence were abundant. Ye Qiulan, no matter how arrogant, had to exercise some restraint.
After two days passed with no movement from Ye Qiulan’s end, she began to feel uncertain about his intentions.
After lunch on this day, she left the hotel and decided to roam around the long-lost city.
She went to a brand-name clothing store and picked out a few outfits to try on.
They all fit perfectly, and she was quite pleased. However, they were quite expensive. Although she had made some money in the past two years, she was used to saving. In the end, she only chose one.
Just as she walked out of the fitting room to make payment, another woman suddenly appeared, pointing at the clothes in her hand and stating, “I want this one!”
Su Hongxing found the woman’s voice familiar. She looked over and realized the face belonged to a familiar face from the past.
This woman was none other than Yan Zi, an ex-girlfriend of Ye Qiulan.
