Chapter 199: How Shameless?

Some bystanders noticed that it was a young, pretty girl against this bunch of folks and felt compa.s.sionate towards her. They advised her in a low voice, “Young miss, you better hurry up and leave. These are Master Chen’s men.”

“Master Chen?” Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes.

Sounded like a significant figure.

The black-clad man noticed Su Huiqing’s reaction, and he smirked lasciviously. “Master Chen likes your type. He might spare you if you know how to please him…”

Before he managed to complete his sentence, his eyes widened in shock.

This was because the girl who had been standing five meters away from him was suddenly right in his face.

Everyone else subconsciously took a step back.

Su Huiqing grabbed the black-clad man by the neck and lifted him up easily.

The man’s face was turning purple, and those mocking eyes of his were now filled with fear.

Su Huiqing tossed him to the ground and stepped one foot on his body. She bent over slightly and casually remarked. “I will spare your life. Go back and tell Master Chen not to provoke me if he wishes to live.”

The Su Corporation employee was still sitting on the floor, staring at Su Huiqing.

Standing right before her, slender and lovely.

She felt a surge of warmth surrounding her heart. “Miss…”

“Get up.” Su Huiqing helped her up and promised calmly. “In future, no one will ever bully you guys again.”

Too many things have happened recently.

She had nearly forgotten about the Su Corporation.

Luckily she had dropped by today.

Qi Lan’s car had come to a stop in front of the Su Corporation. He had witnessed the entire scene. If this was in the past, he would have definitely stayed to enjoy the spectacle. He adjusted his gla.s.ses.

But this time, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze away and didn’t pay much attention.

Instead, he focused on the large words printed on the door. Su Corporation!

Su Huiqing picked up the book which she had thrown on the floor earlier.

She then straightened herself and looked at the man blocking her way. “Excuse me.”

Qi Lan raised his brows in wonder and stood aside, watching Su Huiqing.

Meanwhile, Su Huiqing just walked straight past him without sparing him another glance.

Qi Lan watched her enter and raised his eyebrows again. He then smiled at the receptionist. “The girl who just entered. Who is it?”

“That’s Ms Su.” The receptionist remembered clearly how the Su Corporation management gave them a photo of Su Huiqing to look at when they first started work.

A person like that—no one would ever forget such a face.

Qi Lan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Ms Su…”

Upstairs.

Su Zhi and Xie Zhengyuan were holding a meeting with upper management.

“Let’s stabilize the Su Corporation business first.” Su Zhi closed the folder with a worried look. “Things are just too messy over here. Many people have been trying to stir up trouble for the Su Corporation recently. We need stability.”

Xie Zhengyuan tapped the tabletop, remaining silent.

“You are right. Let’s take a backseat on some contracts first.” Another board member spoke up. “Let’s not come on too strong for now. Take things nice and slow.”

“No need.” A clear voice piped up.

The door to the meeting room was thrown open.

A fresh-looking girl stood at the entrance.

A pale red figure immediately burrowed into her arms. It flashed by so quick that it looked like an afterimage.

“Miss Su.”

“Qingqing.”

Everyone in the meeting room immediately stood up when they noticed her.

Su Zhi gave up his seat to her as he asked the question that was on everyone’s minds. “What do you mean?”

Su Huiqing casually tossed the book onto the meeting room table before pus.h.i.+ng back her chair and leaning back.

She was still cuddling Empress Su in her arms as she glanced down at a new incoming message on her cell phone. She surveyed the group of people in the meeting room before rapping on the table with her knuckles. “Let’s unify this messy business district first, before gradually expanding outwards.”

The entire meeting room went quiet at her words.

A short moment later, someone spoke up worriedly. “Why the need to unify? Miss Su, you might not know that all the power here is held by that Master Chen. Normal merchants are completely unable to ascend…”

“That is exactly why we must first get rid of Master Chen.” Su Huiqing gave him a sweet smile.

Everyone, even Su Zhi, was stunned. He handed the folder to Su Huiqing. “Qingqing, there is a very powerful mafia backing Master Chen.”

Su Huiqing propped her chin up on her hand, her eyes exuding malevolence.

She stated resolutely. “Believe me.”

The upper management of Su Corporation fell silent.

Su Huiqing pushed back her chair and left carrying Empress Su with her. She knew that they had just arrived at the International a.s.sociation and was overly fearful and intimidated by it. As a result, they had unwittingly underestimated themselves.

She would give them some time.

Su Huiqing sent Su Chu a message on her cell phone: You guys can come to the International a.s.sociation now.

It was time for the Su Family escort guards, whom she had been training for a year, to make their appearance.

Upstairs, Xie Zhengyuan was leaning against the corridor wall, watching Su Huiqing leave with a grave face.

Over the past year, he had been guessing how this person was linked to all the people he knew.

“Can you listen to me?” Qi Lan couldn’t resist giving Xie Zhengyuan a kick when he noticed his inattention. He surveyed their surroundings. “Where is the great ‘A Life Of Overturn’? How come I have yet to see her?”

Xie Zhengyuan pointed in Su Huiqing’s direction. “She just left.”

Qi Lan turned, and his pupils dilated. It was that girl whom he saw earlier downstairs…

—

Su Huiqing returned to the Su Family’s temporary lodgings.

It was not some big mansion.

But a very ordinary duplex apartment in the International a.s.sociation.

It was Su Huiqing’s first time here, and she tossed the book onto the table as she studied the interior. “Uncle Chen, what is my mother doing?”

She changed her shoes and pointed at Su Ruohua, who was sitting by the window and looking at her cell phone in a daze.

It was the first time she was seeing Su Ruohua behaving like this.

“She has been acting strange over the past two days.” Uncle Chen pa.s.sed a carton of milk over to Su Huiqing, shaking his head.

Su Huiqing sipped on her milk as she walked over to Su Ruohua. She put one arm around her mother. “Mother, what are you looking at?”

Su Ruohua immediately kept her cell phone and shook her head.

Her expression remained calm as if nothing had happened.

Su Huiqing finished her milk and threw the carton away.

She then pointed at the bathroom and smiled. “I won’t probe into my mother’s secrets then. I will go take a shower first.”

Su Ruohua watched Su Huiqing go into the bathroom before taking out her cell phone again. Her lowered eyes were profound, her lips twisted.

Meanwhile, at the Dugu Family residence.

Dugu Heng was sitting erect on the sofa, his deep, clear eyes fixed upon his cell phone.

No messages, no calls. He lowered his eyes as a glint of disappointment flashed by.

“Master, Madam and Young Mistress are back.” The butler bowed respectfully.

Dugu Heng tore his eyes from his cell phone and glared at the two approaching figures with a grim look. “Mother, what the h.e.l.l are you two doing? That is Yu s.h.i.+jin. This generation’s City Lord of the Yu Family. The King of the International Battlefield. Even Song San has to dodge his mighty power. You dare to provoke someone like him?”

He was the next City Lord.

Even Master San had to dodge his mighty power.

Dugu Wu’s eyes flashed when she heard those words.

She knew her current situation. Although the Dugu Family matriarch doted on her, Dugu Heng didn’t really like her that much.

After all, they were not directly related by blood. Her position in the Dugu Family was very awkward.

Sometimes, even some of the servants would bully her.

Those other heiresses would make fun of her whenever they saw her.

She would lose all status if Dugu Heng married.

Dugu Wu clenched her fists tightly, which were hidden within her sleeves.

Her eyes glowed. She must marry into the Yu Family. She must marry the powerful Yu s.h.i.+jin. Only then could she stand right at the top and suppress all those who had looked down on her.

Anyway, she had a marriage contract with the Yu Family all along.

Dugu Heng didn’t care what Dugu Wu was thinking at this moment.

This was because his cell phone had lit up.

He opened it, and his usually stern face broke into a smile. He went upstairs, not even bothering to reprimand those two anymore.

“Butler, what’s the matter with Little Heng?” The Dugu Family matriarch had been locked up for the past two days. She was rather tired and wished to rest.

But she couldn’t help asking when she noticed Dugu Heng’s behavior.

The butler bowed at the Dugu Family matriarch and said hesitantly, “Master seems to have taken a liking toward a certain lady.”

Dugu Wu’s face froze.

“A lady from which family?” The Dugu Family matriarch’s eyes lit up.

“A D-Cla.s.s company in the business district. They live in a very ordinary apartment.” The butler remembered very clearly. He was the one who had driven Su Ruohua home that day.

“D-Cla.s.s? How can such a commoner match up to my son?!” The Dugu Family matriarch’s face darkened. “Go and investigate everything about this person, then arrange for her to meet me. I want to see what kind of shameless woman she is. How dare she try to weasel her way into the Dugu Family!”
