Chapter 156: Asking for Trouble
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the meeting, everyone dispersed.
They whispered and mumbled to each other about two things.
First, it was about Han Junlei. Second, it was about Song Heng. Why was he suddenly fired?
Zhou Xuefang looked at Su Ji who looked smug.
Su Ji noticed that she was staring at her. After a while, she raised her eyebrows, “are you in love with me?”
Zhou Xuefang’s expression immediately turned cold. She snorted, turned around, and left.
Han Junlei did not give anyone any time to react and had already started the next step, “Jingchuan, Xuefang, come here, I’ll tell you about the next scene!”

At the same time, a black Maybach stopped in front of the Pei family’s house.
In the back row, a maid got out of the car first, then carefully helped the old lady down.
Zhang Guihua held her walking stick and glanced at the rich and magnificent Pei residence in front of her. She then turned her head and urged the driver, “son, come down quickly.”
Su Cunyi sighed and reluctantly got out of the car, “mom, if the Pei family really stopped cooperating with us because they are dissatisfied with us, then I don’t think there is a need to come here today!”
Zhang Guihua’s face was dark, “why not? She has caused too much trouble this time. If we don’t come and apologize today, we don’t know what will happen to us! Son, when you see Old Master Pei later, apologize to him and promise that Su ji won’t use CEO Pei to gain popularity again. Maybe we still have a chance.”
Su Cunyi asked, “when did Su Ji ride on his popularity? Now that she’s so popular, he might be the one riding on her popularity! Do they think that without Su Ji, the show would receive such high viewership?”
Zhang Guihua was speechless. She was such a smart person, how could she have given birth to such a stupid son?
When she saw the door of the Pei family open, she was afraid that Su Cunyi’s rebellious words would be heard by them, so she hit him with her crutch.
“You shut up! If you don’t want to anger your mother to death, then do as I say later!”
Su Cunyi let out another deep sigh.
Back then, if it wasn’t for his mother, Xu Mingzhi might not have been so determined to divorce him.
A helper of the Pei family came out.
Su Cunyi had no choice but to reluctantly explain their purpose of visit. Then, he stood under the hot sun with Zhang Guihua and waited for more than ten minutes.
Inside the house, the butler came to the back garden. Pei Qingshen was currently listening to a lute tune and playing with the fish in the pond.
He didn’t hear what the butler said at first, but when he heard the word “Su,” he immediately turned around with a smile, “Su Ji is here?”
The butler bowed, “old master, it’s not Ms. Su. It’s the master and the old madam of the Su family.
Pei Qingshen’s expression immediately turned serious, “what are they doing here?”
“It’s probably because of the contracts.”
Pei Qingshen’s eyes narrowed as he turned back to feed the fish.
Fortunately, Su Ji’s biological mother had returned. Otherwise, if she had stayed in the Su family for a while longer, she would have been tortured.
However, they were her family, so he was willing to give them a chance.
After a while, he raised his hand and gestured to the butler.
PEI Qingshen tilted his head slightly, “tell them this…”
Now that the hint had been given, it was up to them to see if they could understand it.
The butler went out and saw the two people waiting at the door.
He was polite but direct, “I’m sorry. The old master is resting. He doesn’t want to see anyone at the moment.”
Zhang Guihua frowned. She was angry, but she suppressed it.
She blamed it all on Su Ji.
If she hadn’t acted so preposterously and angered the Pei family, would they have been given the cold shoulder here?
Zhang Guihua smiled and said, “can you make an exception? We’re here to apologize.”
Her maid saw the look in her eyes and stepped forward, holding a few boxes of gifts stacked together.
It was heavy and looked very valuable.
The butler smiled politely and made a gesture of refusal, “old master knows why you’re here, but I believe you’re well aware that this has something to do with one person.”
Zhang Guihua was ashamed, “of course I understand. It’s all because of my granddaughter.”
The butler nodded, “the old master said that the person who tied the bell must untie the bell. To solve the problem between the Su and Pei families, the two of you shouldn’t be here now. You should go to Ms. Su…”
In other words, they should apologize to Ms. Su now and the Pei family could resume their cooperation with the Su family.
After saying that, the butler returned to the house and closed the door in front of the two.
Su Cunyi looked at the closed door for a while and frowned, “mom, why do I feel that the Pei family’s att.i.tude is kind when they talk about Su Ji? They don’t seem to be angry with her.”
Zhang Guihua was already furious, “not angry? Did he have to scold her to be angry? The Pei family is a respectable family, and this is already giving her enough face!”
“Then what do you think the butler meant?” Su Cunyi disagreed.
Zhang Guihua rolled her eyes and said, “what else can it mean? He’s already made it clear enough that it’s useless for us to come and apologize. Su Ji has to come and apologize in person!”
“…”
Zhang Guihua sat back in the car, “son,” she said, “take me to her filming location.”
Su Cunyi immediately widened his eyes and said, “no!”
After that, Su Cunyi sat in the driver’s seat and quickly sent his mother, who had poor comprehension, home.
In front of the Su family’s villa, Su Cunyi stopped the car and waited for Zhang Guihua and her maid to get out. He lowered the window of the driver’s seat and rushed out with a cold expression and a very serious tone, “mom, you can make me do whatever you want, but you’re not allowed to look for Su Jji. She’s very busy with filming now.”
“It’s none of your business,” Zhang Guihua waved her hand, obviously not taking it seriously.
Su Cunyi added in a solemn tone, “if I found out that you’ve gone to look for her, you can forget about having me as your son.”
His tone was calm, without any aggressiveness. It was obvious that he had said it after careful consideration.
Zhang Guihua paused and was about to lose her temper when Su Cunyi stepped on the accelerator and left, “I haven’t been to the company in a few days. I’m going there now.”
He really didn’t want to stay with his mother.
Zhang Guihua’s face was covered in car exhaust, and her eyebrows were raised.
The personal maid said worriedly, “old madam, I don’t think he was just joking.”
“Hmph!” Zhang Guihua slammed her walking stick on the ground.
Zhang Guihua was calm and composed, “call a taxi! Let’s go to Su Ji now!”
