Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Coming to Ask for the Child…_1
Su Hongxing dared not indulge in wild thoughts any longer.
Little Pudding was her heart and soul, and she couldn’t lose this child no matter what she lost. She had been living on pins and needles these past few years, not even daring to let her daughter call her mom in public, all to keep her safe from Ye Qilan.
That night, Su Hongxing barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she was haunted by the horrific image of Ye Qilan taking Little Pudding away from her.
The next morning, Old Madam Jiang was visibly startled upon seeing a worn-out Su Hongxing, “What happened to you?”
Su Hongxing was greatly exhausted, “Grandma, I have something to do, I’ll skip breakfast.”
“It’s only seven o’clock, where are you…” By the time Old Madam Jiang rushed out, Su Hongxing had already walked far away.
What’s wrong with the child? She didn’t come back the day before, and didn’t rest well last night either, something serious must have happened.
Old Madam Jiang was aware, Su Hongxing was hiding a lot, but she didn’t want to share with her, she wasn’t as close to her as she used to be during her childhood.
Because of Jiang Su, she overlooked Su Hongxing during those years, perhaps it can never be made up for…
Su Hongxing went to a public phone booth to call Aunt Lan.
The call was quickly picked up. Aunt Lan informed her that she had arrived in Taicheng the night before. But because it was too late, she decided to demand Little Pudding from Ye Qilan the next day.
On hearing these words, Su Hongxing finally felt a sense of relief.
She had a little breakfast outside and arrived early to the company. At 8:30 in the morning, she received another call from Ye Xiandong.
This time she didn’t ignore it. Speaking in a deep tone, she said, “Ye Xiandong, I agree to cooperate with you, wait for my message. Don’t call me during this time!”
Ye Xiandong, both astonished and delighted, asked, “No kidding?”
“If you don’t trust me, why seek cooperation with me?” Su Hongxing retorted sarcastically.
Ye Xiandong admitted the reasonableness of her words.
Lately, the Ye family’s stock price had been falling. Given the pressure from the board members and the elder, if he couldn’t show Ye Qilan some colors, he’d hardly vent his spleen.
Su Hongxing hung up the call, her eyes glinting slightly.
Ye Xiandong sought her alliance? Even Fu Yan said she was vile, and Ye Xiandong, fearlessly knocking at death’s door, dared to take the initiative.
Not long after, Ye Qilan, holding Little Pudding’s hand, stepped out of the elevator.
The father-daughter pair walked in sync, moving seamlessly towards Su Hongxing.
Watching her adorable little one approach, Su Hongxing had a hard time shifting her gaze.
Soon, Little Pudding ran into her arms, hugging her arm and cooing affectionately, “Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy…”
Su Hongxing’s stiff expression began to falter. At that moment, Little Pudding used her ultimate weapon: “Mommy, I love you so much.”
Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing’s struggling expression from the side.
Little Pudding’s endearment was far more potent than his. With her sweet affection, even the hardest heart like Su Hongxing’s was likely to melt.
He hesitated, wondering whether he should follow Little Pudding’s example and ingratiate himself with Su Hongxing…
While Ye Qilan was fantasizing about Su Hongxing, a plump middle-aged woman came out of the elevator, loudly asking, “Who is Mr. Fu Yan?!”
This woman was Aunt Lan.
“Auntie, how did you get up here?” Li Yan, noticing Aunt Lan, quickly stepped forward to stop her.
Aunt Lan was able to come here unimpeded because Su Hongxing had informed the front desk in advance.
“What do you care how I got up here? I came to find our Little Pudding.” As Aunt Lan spoke, her eyes lit up when she spotted Little Pudding.
