Chapter 232: You’re Always Easily Excited
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You’re always easily excited.”
Li Qianxue said so, but there was no anger on her face. She looked at her daughter’s hands, which were fair, tender and well maintained.
She brought up Su Peizhen like a princess, and could not bear to see her being hurt in the slightest. “We are not sure now whether it is true or not,” she said. “It’s no use to be so anxious. If the truth comes out and it proves to be her, we’ll have ways to deal with her.”
“What ways?”
“Silly girl,” Li Qianxue patted Su Peizhen on the shoulder. “Sometimes you don’t need to deal with someone yourself. It’s not worth getting your hands dirty.”
“Mom.” Su Peizhen immediately grasped what Li Qianxue meant, and nodded heavily. “Thank you, mom. I got it.”
The mother and the daughter look at each other smiling. Li Qianxue seemed to be comforting her daughter but actually began to doubt Su Qingsang.
Peizhen is too young after all. Perhaps she should use the strength of the Li Family to check out whether Su Qingsang had anything to do with Qiu Yanbo breaking off the engagement.
…
In the far Rong City, Su Qingsang by no means knew that she was suspected and targeted. Even if she had known, she wouldn’t have had time to think about it. After all, she had just had a minor disagreement with Huo Jinyao.
The company building was large and s.p.a.cious. In the a.s.sistant’s office and the secretary’s office, people were all very busy.
Then there was the vice president’s office, the door of which was closed now. Su Qingsang was not interested in checking it out, nor would she want to go in and have a look even if it had been open.
Going straight ahead, she saw a tearoom, and then a bathroom. Su Qingsang went into a bathroom compartment. She was about to come out when she heard footsteps.
She stopped in the act of opening the compartment door as the footsteps drew nearer. They soon came in, sounding like they belonged two or three people.
“Emily, did you see that woman in the CEO’s office today?”
“Not really, I only saw her from the back. Why?”
“I heard that was Mrs. Huo.”
“How come? We didn’t hear that Mr. Huo had married.”
“No, I don’t think we did. But I heard a.s.sistant Yang called her that.”
“Did you see Vivian go into the office with drinks?”
“I did. Many things, even snacks. It looks like Mr. Huo really dotes on her.”
“Mrs. Huo must be the daughter of some great family. Mr. Huo is too good for ordinary women after all.”
“Exactly. I think Mrs. Huo’s family must be rich. Maybe the Tang, Xu or Cheng families.”
With the sound of flus.h.i.+ng water, the chat slowly went down, and then the footsteps went away until they were no longer heard.
Su Qingsang leaned against the part.i.tion and got lost in thought as she looked at an unknown point.
Sure enough, everyone thought Huo Jinyao was too good for ordinary women. Yet she, this ordinary woman, had already married him. What now?
She found that she really hated this feeling. Touching the mobile phone in her pocket and the wallet on the other side, Su Qingsang went out of the bathroom and headed directly for the outside.
Not until she had got out of the building of Tianyu Group did she realize that she was a complete stranger in Rong City. She lost her sense of direction and had no idea where she was.
It was a bit cold at this time of year in Rong City. She had taken off her coat at Huo Jinyao’s office and now felt rather cold in the chilly wind.
