Chapter 404: Chapter 368: Indifferent as a Chrysanthemum Mother? The Young Lady Casually Sabotages 8_3
Su Zhiruan didn’t understand.
But now, she had grasped a principle: whoever provoked her, she would retaliate. She certainly wouldn’t allow herself to be at a disadvantage.
Ever since Su Zhiruan had talked back to Ning Fu, Ning Fu had gone out and didn’t seem to be doing anything in particular, until at one in the morning, Ning Fu hurriedly pushed open the front door and came back.
The noise she made was so loud that it woke up Su Zhiruan on the first floor. After turning over in bed, Su Zhiruan found herself unable to sleep again and picked up her phone to carefully listen to the commotion.
However, in the end, she didn’t hear any useful information, only Ning Fu cursing a few times before there was no more to follow.
Su Qin indeed hadn’t come back all night. As Su Zhiruan had guessed, Su Qin had probably spent the night out with his beautiful secretary, Ms. Zhu.
Seeing that Ning Fu was so infuriated, Su Zhiruan turned over comfortably, ready to continue sleeping. She had to show her prowess at school tomorrow, so naturally, she couldn’t let sleep affect her mental state for the next day.
A night without dreams.
First thing in the morning, Su Zhiruan had set an early alarm. After quickly getting up and washing up, she opened her door to find that the maid had already made breakfast and placed it on the table, waiting for her to come out. Su Zhiruan leisurely walked over, pulled out a chair, and prepared to eat.
In the original owner’s memories, at this time of day, Ning Fu would normally be at the dining table, ready to scold her. But today was different; besides Su Zhiruan, there was no sign of Ning Fu, and the maids also knew better than to go up and wake Ning Fu themselves.
After finishing breakfast, Su Zhiruan was ready to go to school.
Ning Fu refused to provide her with a driver, insisting that it would be quicker for her to walk, but Su Zhiruan was not someone to put up with such inconveniences. She made a direct call to Su Qin.
After the phone had rung several times, the other side picked up.
“…Hello? Who’s this?” Su Qin’s voice came through the line to Su Zhiruan’s ear, and at this moment, she could tell that Su Qin was definitely not in the office but still in bed. If he hadn’t gotten up at this time, it was evident that he must have spent the night out with Ms. Zhu. But for Su Zhiruan, the problem at hand wasn’t worrying about whether they spent the night together but securing a driver for herself.
So she coyly said, “Daddy, I want a driver. I’m so tired walking to school every day, my legs hurt, and yesterday’s wound hasn’t fully healed. Every step I take today is so uncomfortable!”
As soon as these words left her mouth, Su Qin seemed to immediately wake up. He sat up, and with his movements, the bed made creaking noises, all of which Su Zhiruan heard loud and clear. But she was smart, she didn’t straightforwardly ask Su Qin about his location, nor did she question why he hadn’t come home. Su Zhiruan just wanted a driver.
“I thought we had a driver in the house!” At this time, Su Qin’s face was full of confusion. Frowning, he remembered the driver the family had, who was usually at Ning Fu’s service. But since Ning Fu rarely went out, Su Qin’s original intention was for the driver to take his daughter to and from school. But it was only today that his daughter suddenly told him she had always walked to school, which meant the driver he had provided for Ning Fu had never taken his daughter.
“Maybe Mom likes that driver more; she doesn’t let Uncle Driver take me and wants to train my will by making me walk. I’m sorry, Daddy!!!” Su Zhiruan’s voice grew softer and softer as she even feigned the act of hanging up the phone. From Su Qin’s perspective, his daughter’s voice was already choking as if she was about to cry from distress at any moment.
Su Qin panicked at once and quickly said, “Ruanruan, don’t cry, please don’t cry. Daddy will have the secretary pick you up right now, and when I get home, I’ll ask your mom why she didn’t let the driver take you. I’ll fire him.”
“Won’t it be too much trouble for Brother Secretary,” Su Zhiruan continued to display her considerate, empathetic character at this moment.
Su Qin waved it off, declaring, “Don’t worry, I’ll have him come to find you right now. Don’t fret, you won’t be late for sure.”
Su Zhiruan hummed in agreement, “Okay, Daddy, I got it. You take care too, and remember to have breakfast. I’m off to school now, bye!!”
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Not long after Su Qin’s call, a car appeared in front of Su Zhiruan, with Su Qin’s secretary behind the wheel, urging, “Miss, please get in the car quickly, I’ll take you to school!”
“Thank you, Brother Secretary,” Su Zhiruan nodded politely.
