Chapter 840: Chapter 840: A Good Opportunity to Take Advantage of the Vulnerability Chapter 840: Chapter 840: A Good Opportunity to Take Advantage of the Vulnerability Cao Shiyu had always been on good terms with Zhao Rui, who would share gossip with her whenever there was any; this time was certainly no exception.
Especially since it was about the gossip between Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan, Zhao Rui definitely would have told her right away.
“Someone saw your sister and Mr. Ye having a huge argument in the office, and your name came up during their quarrel. Doesn’t that concern you? Anyway, you better watch out for yourself. I don’t think Miss Su is a good person; she might just pin the blame on you…”
“My sister isn’t like that, don’t talk nonsense,” Cao Shiyu’s eyes flickered as she schemed.
“You’re just too kind. People take advantage of the good-hearted! Your sister is going to be the chairman’s wife; if something goes wrong because of you, do you think she won’t hold it against you?” Zhao Rui spoke with a tone that suggested disappointment with unmet potential.
“My sister is a good person; she wouldn’t be so petty. I’m going to see her, and you better not spread rumors about her,” Cao Shiyu couldn’t help feeling pleased with herself inwardly, yet she made sure to appear concerned externally.
Cao Shiyu knocked on Ye Qilan’s office door, and not seeing Su Hongxing inside, she asked with a puzzled look, “Where’s my sister?”
“I’m not her nanny, and I’m not obliged to monitor her whereabouts at all times,” Ye Qilan responded with impatience.
This was the first time Cao Shiyu heard Ye Qilan mention Su Hongxing in such a tone.
It seemed that the two had indeed had a falling out. Perhaps this was her chance to take advantage of the situation?
“As a man, you should indulge women a little. My sister has a good temperament…”
“Since when is it your place to concern yourself with my private affairs? Get out!” Ye Qilan interrupted Cao Shiyu’s advice.
Obeying his command, Cao Shiyu left the office and began searching for Su Hongxing. She finally spotted her on the rooftop, standing against the wind, her silhouette appearing somewhat desolate.
Su Hongxing was brewing her emotions when she heard the footsteps and turned around, “Are you looking for me?”
Seeing Su Hongxing’s swollen eyes, Cao Shiyu asked, “Did you have a fight with your husband?”
Su Hongxing shook her head, “I can’t fight with him. I’m just a little tired, and it seems this is how things will be between him and me for the rest of our lives. I can’t stand him, and his bad temper is getting worse. If it weren’t for Little Pudding being accustomed to this life, I’d really want to take Xiaobu to a peaceful place to spend the rest of my days.”
“Why are you speaking such nonsense, sister? My brother-in-law has always doted on you; you shouldn’t take his affection for granted. If you continue , you might eventually wear out his patience,” Cao Shiyu felt disdainful towards Su Hongxing in her heart.
Ye Qilan treated Su Hongxing in ways that she had seen for herself. This woman did not appreciate her blessings; countless women dreamed of obtaining Ye Qilan’s affection, yet Su Hongxing couldn’t even offer him the most basic trust.
If she were in Ye Qilan’s shoes, she would have dumped a woman like Su Hongxing long ago.
“I’ve been having nightmares lately, dreaming of waking up in bed with Xiao Ji. And also you with Ye Qilan…” Su Hongxing’s face was filled with conflict, “If this continues, I’ll break down.”
“How about this, I’ll try to persuade my brother-in-law again. Sister, just stay here by yourself to calm down, and please don’t do anything foolish,” Cao Shiyu said before slowly descending from the rooftop.
As she walked down, she pondered whether or not to strike while the iron was hot now that there was a rift between Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing.
Liu Yuan had told her on more than one occasion that she was too impulsive, ruining a perfectly good game because of it.
Liu Yuan also said that she must consult with him before making any decisions.
