Chapter 699: She Has Been Learning and Evolving at a Staggering Rate
After Su Qianxun had dinner at home, she received a phone call from Ye Gu. He told her that he would come fetch her. Su Qianxun immediately perked up. She said goodbye to her younger brother and Aunt Zhang and went downstairs.
She saw Ye Gu waiting outside the apartment building alone. He was on his own. The car he drove was also his personal vehicle.
“Ye Gu, are we heading back to the apartment?” Su Qianxun asked.
“The young master told me to take you back to Jin Garden,” Ye Gu admitted.
Su Qianxun did not say anything.
Recently, he had been letting her stay in the apartment. Why does he send her back to Jin Garden all of sudden?”
Su Qianxun instinctively thought that it had something to do with the phone call he received today. Even though she had lost her mind due to his caresses, she still managed to hear the voice from the speaker. It was from a woman.
In the car, Su Qianxun spent the whole journey in silence. Seeing the look on her face, Ye Gu wanted to say something. But eventually, he chose to remain quiet. There were things that he could not or had no right to reveal.
After Su Qianxun went back to Jin Garden, she washed up and got ready for bed. She lay in bed but could not fall asleep. She had been waiting for Long Sijue till three in the morning. But he had yet returned.
The next day, Su Qianxun woke up and felt quite drowsy. Huan Huan stared at her worriedly and asked, “Young mistress, did you not sleep well last night?”
“No, it was quite good.” Su Qianxun did not want to admit that she had barely slept because Long Sijue was out all night.
“But you have dark circles under your eyes,” Huan Huan said and quickly lowered her head.
Su Qianxun was too embarra.s.sed to say anything else.
After breakfast, Su Qianxun received a phone call from Qiao Bonian. He told her to take Su Jiye back home on new year’s eve. Hearing that, all Su Qianxun wanted to do was sneer at him. Qiao Bonian asked her to go home with her younger brother probably because he had something up his sleeve. She would not fall into his trap.
Despite Qiao Bonian trying to lure her over with Su Ci, Su Qianxun still turned down the invitation.
In the Qiao’s residence, Qiao Bonian hung up the phone furiously. “Outrageous. She has seriously grown bolder. She thinks I can’t do anything about her, does she? Hehe~”
Su Manni had been anxious and worried lately. She furrowed her brows and said, “Bonian, I really think that we cannot afford to let this girl live any longer. At this rate, that little b*tch might even repossess the family business!”
She could sense that Su Qianxun had been learning and evolving at a staggering rate. In the beginning, they could manipulate and bully her as they pleased. But now none of their tactics seemed to harm her at all. Worse still, sometimes the schemes backfired.
Even though Su Qianxun had not done anything, her presence alone had created rather terrifying consequences!
During their last attempt to destroy Su Qianxun’s reputation, not only did they not succeed, they somehow angered the Lan family. Until now, the Lan Clan was still holding a grudge, retaliating and scheming against them. If it were not for the Su family’s fortune that the Qiao family had stolen, they would not be able to get through the hard time.
Qiao Bonian knew that very well. He said, “I don’t think a little b*tch like her is totally untouchable. As long as she has weak spots, we can take her down! Su Jiye and Su Ci are both her weak spots!”
“Don’t you forget that Su Jiye’s custody is no longer yours. As for Su Ci, you have the guts to speak of her? Can you bear to do her harm?” Speaking of Su Ci, Su Manni grew angrier. If it were not for her daughter’s future, she would have split with Qiao Bonian.
Su Manni had bet all her hopes and dreams on her daughter, because if her daughter managed to succeed, it would mean that she was able to achieve her own dreams that she had been thinking about for years.
All these years, Su Manni had been planning and scheming meticulously for Qiao Yiren’s future. But in the end of the day, she was only doing all those things for herself.
…
Su Qianxun had spent the entire morning brooding. Eventually, she could not help but find an excuse to give Long Sijue a call.
