Chapter 536: Chapter 536: You and Qiao Qiao go abroad to get a marriage certificate, see who is more ruthless! _1
Su Hongxing was filled with concern, her brows furrowed: “I need to get to work soon, I can’t let personal matters interfere with work, let me think about it some more.”
As she walked away, she turned to look back at Ye Qilan, giving him sincere words of thanks, “Thank you for telling me about this, I owe you one. I’ll return the favor when I have the chance.”
Although she didn’t like Ye Qilan’s incessant pestering, she still needed to express her gratitude.
“How about this, when you have time, would you like to have a meal with me?” Ye Qilan asked earnestly looking into Su Hongxing’s eyes.
Su Hongxing didn’t expect Ye Qilan to compromise so easily: “Are you sure one meal will be enough payback for your favor?”
“I’m not greedy, one meal is enough.” Ye Qilan stated his stance.
This time, Su Hongxing happily agreed.
At 3:00 in the afternoon, Su Hongxing headed toward Ye Qilan’s office.
Originally, the office was wholly managed by the executive CEO Fu Yan, and there was no need for Ye Qilan to continually be present. However, ever since Su Hongxing came into the picture, Ye Qilan practically started treating his office as home.
Could anyone possibly believe that there was no illicit relationship between the two?
Zhao Rui kept a close eye on Su Hongxing’s every move. When she saw Su Hongxing headed for Ye Qilan’s office, she smirked as if to say, “I knew it.”
Even if Su Hongxing wanted to sleep with Ye Qilan, was there any need to flaunt it so openly in the office?
Zhao Rui and a few secretaries gathered to gossip about Su Hongxing behind her back.
Soon enough, Li Yan suddenly appeared, rounded up the gossiping women, and glared at them coldly: “If you don’t want to work here anymore, you can leave now. If Mr. Ye hears you saying ill about Miss Su, you’ll face more than just being fired. Consider yourself warned!”
With that, Li Yan walked off.
Everyone knew that Li Yan, as a company veteran, was speaking for the boss.
Immediately, no one dared to gossip about Su Hongxing. Each one of them stayed low. Zhao Rui did not dare to squeak anymore; after all, this was a serious matter concerning job security.
The Chairman’s office.
Su Hongxing knocked and entered, carrying a cup of tea in her hand.
Ye Qilan watched as she approached, his eyes half-narrowed, on guard.
She was being overly nice for no reason; was this woman up to something?
Su Hongxing handed the tea to Ye Qilan, looking at him without saying a word.
Ye Qilan took a sip and said with a slight lift of his lips: “If you have something to say, say it.”
The way Su Hongxing regarded him with that predatory gaze made his skin crawl. It was certainly not going to be something good…
“After much contemplation, I think the only way to strike back at Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu is this: Ye Xiandong has taken away the Ye Family which rightfully belongs to you. You came back to Taicheng partially to seek revenge for the wrongs of the past, right? Now that you have such a good opportunity, shouldn’t you seize it…”
“Get to the point!” Ye Qilan interrupted Su Hongxing’s long monologue.
The serious gaze of Su Hongxing was fixed on Ye Qilan as she slowly pronounced each word: “Return the favor in the exact same way. Ye Xiandong and Cao Shiyu have gone overseas to get their marriage certificate. You and Qiao Qiao should also get a certificate overseas and see who plays the game better!”
“Absurd!!” Ye Qilan barked in a cold tone. He could not believe that Su Hongxing was pushing him toward Qiao Qiao.
“Since you said there’s a precedent in the Ye Family for such behavior and Ye Xiandong has decided to employ such an inhumane method against Qiao Qiao, isn’t it fair for you and Qiao Qiao to join forces to fight them with their own poison? I’ve thought it over very clearly; if they are venomous, we will have to be even more venomous!”
