Chapter 877 A Nail in the Coffin
Hearing what that person said, Su Xiaoran frowned.
She remained silent.
The person from the detective agency could not tell what she was thinking, so he asked, “Miss Su?”
Su Xiaoran did not reply.
The person asked again, “Miss Su? May I ask what your opinion is?”
Being called in this way, Su Xiaoran was back to reality. She said, “Nothing.”
The person from the detective agency was also more or less aware of Su Xiaoran’s plan with Gu Yi in her hand.
Thus, he suggested, “Miss Su, if Little Master Gu is not useful for your plan, I think it’d be better to let him go.”
Hearing this, Su Xiaoran was annoyed, “Let him go?”
“Yes. Since Song Yunxuan doesn’t care about this kid, he is no use to your plan. If you could just let him go instead of taking his life, it’d be really generous of you.”
The person from the detective agency now was talking to Su Xiaoran about being generous.
This made Su Xiaoran amused.
“People like us still want to be generous?”
The person from the detective agency found it hard to follow.
So he did not say anything.
Su Xiaoran said, “Don’t ever talk about being generous. It’s what Song Yunxuan is up to, isn’t it?”
“Sorry. What?”
The person from the detective agency asked.
Su Xiaoran seemed to realize something. She giggled, “She wants me to let go of Gu Yi by showing she doesn’t care.”
What Su Xiaoran said made the person from the detective agency contemplate.
Indeed, if it was Song Yunxuan, she would probably do such a retreat-to-advance thing so that she could save Gu Yi’s life.
But there was still a possibility that she really did not care.
Whatever it was, the person from the detective agency had no intention to involve.
So he stopped this topic and only said to Su Xiaoran, “Miss Su, you are free to do whatever you’d like to do. But I’ll return home to look after my family after this time.”
“You’re afraid of Song Yunxuan, aren’t you?”
Su Xiaoran was a little p.i.s.sed.
That person smiled awkwardly. “I’ve got the money, and I’m ready to quit. I don’t want to lose my life here.”
Saying this, as if it had been out of his indescribable thought, he added, “You too, Miss Su.”
Su Xiaoran found it came out of nowhere and was about to ask for details.
But he hung up the phone immediately.
When Su Xiaoran called back, the number was already dead.
Su Xiaoran found it weird, frowning and contemplating. But she had no clue and finally gave up, leaving what the man said aside.
However, when Gu Yi stayed in her place for the whole week, Song Yunxuan was still expecting the baby.
She did not seem to be worried about how to find Gu Yi.
Knowing this made Su Xiaoran worried.
The Su Family in Qicheng were even more worried.
Su Xiaoran’s father called her several times to check whether Song Yunxuan had any moves.
However, her answer was negative every time.
Mr. Su finally lost his patience. “If you keep saying things like this, this kid can no longer keep you safe.”
“Then should I get rid of him?”
Su Xiaoran asked her father.
Mr. Su frowned, “No. This kid is still the eldest son of Gu Changge and Shao Tianze. He is going to inherit the Shao enterprise.”
“But the Shao enterprise is now in Song Yunxuan’s hand. How can this kid be the heir?”
Su Xiaoran was confused.
Mr. Su said, “Haven’t you heard that yet? Song Yunxuan has acquired Shao Tianze’s shares, but she didn’t accept the shares and hasn’t signed the doc.u.ments yet.”
“Dad, you’re saying… Song Yunxuan is waiting to hand over the Shao enterprise to Gu Yi?”
Su Xiaoran found it hard to believe.
But Mr. Su nodded. “That’s the only possible explanation. Otherwise, why didn’t she sign? Moreover, rumor has it that Song Yunxuan treats Gu Changge’s two children well. They must’ve got a deep connection.”
“But now Song Yunxuan doesn’t care about Gu Yi.”
Su Xiaoran said.
“Don’t panic. She is waiting for your panic by being indifferent. She hasn’t found out who did this to Gu Yi. On the one hand, you should cover your tracks; on the other hand, send Song Yunxuan a message.”
Hearing Mr. Su’s suggestion, Su Xiaoran asked for clarification, “What message?”
“Just to let her know that Gu Yi is in danger.”
Mr. Su narrowed his eyes.
Su Xiaoran got Mr. Su’s point. She said, “Should I hurt the kid?”
“As long as it’s not severe.”
Mr. Su pondered. “Since you have planned to be Song Yunxuan’s enemy, I’d say take one hand of the child.”
“Isn’t it…?” Su Xiaoran was not sure.
But Mr. Su said, “It’ll irk Song Yunxuan. But people get angry when you attack the right place, which will reveal more of their weakness. If you want to put up a fight against Song Yunxuan, you’d better be aware of her weakness.”
Mr. Su taught his daughter his life experience.
Hearing her father’s words, Su Xiaoran also nodded, “Okay. I see.”
Mr. Su was about to say something to Su Xiaoran.
But then someone was knocking at her door.
Hearing the knocking, Su Xiaoran told Mr. Su, “Dad, someone’s at my door. Let me check it out first.”
Mr. Su replied, “Off you go. Call me if you have any problems.”
“OK.”
Su Xiaoran nodded and hung up the phone.
Then she headed to the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw Chu Mochen standing there.
He was in a light grey handmade suit.
The suit looked customized and posh and fit him well.
This was the first time Chu Mochen came to her after he was together with Song Yunxuan.
Su Xiaoran was flattered.
She was surprised and asked, “Mochen, what brings you here?”
Chu Mochen replied her question with another question, “Am I not welcomed?”
His voice was cold and flat.
As usual, he did not treat her with much emotion.
Though she could not feel his love, she was happy as long as he was willing to come.
Su Xiaoran invited him into her room. “Come on in.”
Chu Mochen entered the room.
Seeing her suite where she spent a month, he frowned. “Are you living here the whole time?”
“Yep.” Su Xiaoran closed the door and fetched some drinks for Chu Mochen from the fridge. She asked, “What drink would you like?”
“Iced coffee.”
“I only have bottled coffee, if you don’t mind.”
Su Xiaoran did not think much about Chu Mochen’s unexpected visit. She took out a bottled iced coffee and placed it before Chu Mochen.
Chu Mochen glanced at the decorations in the room and said, “I’m sorry to see that you don’t have a home here.”
Su Xiaoran was shocked when she heard the loving words from Chu Mochen.
Then she replied immediately, “I’m planning to purchase a property.”
“If you are going to stay here permanently, I can give you one. You can pick whichever you like.”
“That’s too generous of you.” Su Xiaoran declined politely. “I can buy one myself.”
“But it’s different. I give you the property as a gift with special meaning.”
Chu Mochen looked at Su Xiaoran.
Su Xiaoran felt her heart racing when Chu Mochen stared at her.
“Special meaning?” Su Xiaoran thought.
What special meaning could it be?
“You saved my life, which deserves me giving you a property.”
“I saved your life?” Su Xiaoran frowned. “That’s the special meaning you just said?”
“Isn’t it?”
Chu Mochen saw Su Xiaoran’s unpleased expression and asked her.
Su Xiaoran wanted more than being someone who saved Chu Mochen’s life.
She wanted to marry Chu Mochen and be his wife.
She wanted to take all the glories and convenience of marrying Chu Mochen.
She wanted to be the best child of her mother.
She wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the Champs-Elysea from Song Yunxuan and give it to her mother as a present.
She had no intention to be someone who saved his life. She did not want a special meaning like this.
However, she could not say anything about it.
She couldn’t say a single word about it.
She could only smile when hearing Chu Mochen’s words. “It’s only out of my conscience that I saved you. I didn’t do it for anything. There’s no need to gift me.”
“I will gift you anyway. Please don’t decline anymore.”
Chu Mochen was rich enough to buy any property at any place.
If Su Xiaoran wanted a property, Chu Mochen would be generous enough to give it to her.
It was not just about being polite. And Su Xiaoran was not expected to decline.
Seeing that Chu Mochen was insistent, Su Xiaoran bit her lips. “It’s still very generous of you.”
“No worries. Since you like Yuncheng and would love to live here, I will give you a property. You can pick one, and we’ll finish all the procedures tomorrow.”
Su Xiaoran pondered. “I’ll do some research tomorrow before I tell you my decision.”
“That’ll be great.”
Chu Mochen nodded.
Su Xiaoran was cheerful.
Anyway, Chu Mochen was willing to gift her a property in Yuncheng, which meant he had no objection to her living here.
As she stayed in Yuncheng, she had more chances to learn about Song Yunxuan, which helped her struggle against her.
This was a good thing.
Moreover, she also had her dream come true to see Chu Mochen more.
Su Xiaoran accepted Chu Mochen’s gift. She then politely checked in on Song Yunxuan, “How’s Miss Song doing?”
“She’s doing well. But she’s a little disturbed before the birth. You should come and visit her in your free time. I think you two should have a lot to talk about.”
Su Xiaoran nodded, “Sure. I’m available these days. I’ll visit Yunxuan tomorrow.”
