Chapter 515: Chapter 516: Calling Su Changfeng
"Sigh." Sun Mei put on a show of sighing, saying, "Mom is just afraid you’ll get hurt."
"Even if I get hurt, I want to be with Changfeng." Tang Qiulu said firmly.
"Alright, alright, I know you love Changfeng. You haven’t seen each other for a while, do you especially miss him?" Sun Mei laughed.
Whenever Tang Qiulu wasn’t working, her longing for Su Changfeng enveloped her like a tide. Of course she missed Su Changfeng, she wished she could fly to his side and throw herself into his arms.
But at this time, they were divorced, and Tang Qiulu did not dare to casually disturb Su Changfeng, fearing that she might bring trouble to him.
Seeing Tang Qiulu lower her head with a worried look on her face, Sun Mei said, "Why don’t you contact him, ask what Changfeng has been up to these days, and see if he has any plans. Since you want to share the risk with him, see if there’s anything you can help with."
Many times before, Tang Qiulu had picked up the phone and reached Su Changfeng’s number, but in the end, she always put it down.
If it weren’t for her overwhelming longing for Su Changfeng and Sun Mei’s sudden change in attitude, she could have noticed. But now all her thoughts were occupied with Su Changfeng, and she hoped Sun Mei would keep urging her, because only then could she muster the courage to dial Su Changfeng’s number.
"I’m worried I might bother him." Tang Qiulu said.
A hint of gloom flashed in Sun Mei’s eyes; if it weren’t to find out about Su Changfeng, she wouldn’t waste so much time with Tang Qiulu.
"What are you worried about? Changfeng currently has a lot of troubles. If you don’t check on him, it won’t be good if another woman takes advantage of the situation." Sun Mei said.
"Impossible." Tang Qiulu suddenly lifted her head, "Changfeng would never do that. I trust him."
"Men are all driven by lust, you haven’t contacted him at all, you don’t know anything about his situation. How can you guarantee anything?" Sun Mei continued to instigate.
Hearing Sun Mei’s words, Tang Qiulu instinctively felt a bit worried. Although she believed Su Changfeng could resist seeking other women, what if another woman approached him?
Tang Qiulu’s hand instinctively reached for the phone on the bedside, indicating just how urgent her desire to contact Su Changfeng was.
Seizing the chance, Sun Mei said, "Quick, contact him, at least know a bit about his situation."
Clutching the phone, unlocking it and opening the contacts, this action takes less than two seconds, but Tang Qiulu took a whole minute, making Sun Mei very anxious.
Sun Mei snatched Tang Qiulu’s phone and directly dialed Su Changfeng’s number.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Tang Qiulu said in a panic, trying to grab the phone back, but Sun Mei held the phone firmly.
"Mom is trying to help you." During the pushing and shoving, Sun Mei directly pushed Tang Qiulu onto the bed, almost using all her strength.
"Quickly give me back the phone." Tang Qiulu stood up, ignoring how much her chest hurt.
Sun Mei patted Tang Qiulu’s hand, saying, "Oh, my silly daughter, mom is here to help you, why can’t you see the situation clearly?"
At that moment, Su Changfeng’s voice suddenly came from the phone.
"Hello."
In that instant, for Tang Qiulu, it felt as if the whole world went silent. Hearing the incredibly familiar voice, even though they hadn’t met in a few days, it kept her awake at night with thoughts.
Seeing the call was connected, Sun Mei handed the phone to Tang Qiulu, whispering in her ear, "Remember to ask what he’s been doing recently. If there’s any trouble, see if you can help him."
Holding the phone, Tang Qiulu’s hand trembled slightly, as if she had never been this nervous in her life. Su Changfeng’s voice coming through the phone made her even more unsure of what to do.
Sun Mei saw Tang Qiulu not speaking, nudged her arm, signaling her to speak quickly.
Sun Mei was more anxious than Tang Qiulu. Only after hearing from Su Changfeng could she truly cooperate with Ye Qingcheng.
Tang Qiulu adjusted her breathing and said, "Hello."
On the other end of the phone, hearing Tang Qiulu’s voice, Su Changfeng’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a smile. Although he had wanted to call Tang Qiulu, receiving her call made him especially happy.
"I’m sorry, I didn’t tell you in advance." Su Changfeng said.
Hearing the three words "I’m sorry," tears instantly fell from Tang Qiulu’s eyes, and all her resentment towards Su Changfeng vanished.
Looking at Sun Mei beside her, Tang Qiulu gathered all her strength to push her out.
Originally still eavesdropping Sun Mei was ruthlessly shut out by Tang Qiulu, which instantly made her expression darken. But as long as Su Changfeng told Tang Qiulu, she could ask Tang Qiulu later, so Sun Mei didn’t worry much about this aspect.
"Are you alright now?" In the room, Tang Qiulu asked worriedly. Facing the formidable enemy of Ye Group, there was a question she pondered countless times: whether Su Changfeng could win. But comparing all the current forms, Tang Qiulu saw no chance at all.
It’s like an elephant fighting an ant; no matter what method Su Changfeng finds, in front of the elephant-like Ye Group, there would be no victory.
Ye Group brought huge capital into Jiang City’s business world. Unless Su Changfeng had the strength to counter such powerful capital, he had no chance to fight back.
"Don’t worry, I already have a plan." Su Changfeng said.
"Can I do anything to help? I don’t want to be useless to you." Tang Qiulu asked.
Regarding the plan to purchase the Urban Village, Su Changfeng had Ma Qiang execute it secretly, because if Ye Qingcheng found out, it wouldn’t succeed.
Though he didn’t suspect Tang Qiulu, even if he told her, she couldn’t help, so there was no need to mention it.
"You can rest assured, I can handle it alone." Su Changfeng said.
"Can I ask what your plan is? I’m feeling particularly uneasy, not seeing you, I feel like I could lose you at any moment." Tang Qiulu said.
These days, she hadn’t felt settled, a feeling of gain and loss persisted and gradually deepened, because for over three years, Su Changfeng had always been by her side, unlike now when he was absent.
Su Changfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "I received news that Ye Group plans to rebuild the Urban Village. I plan to secretly purchase the Urban Village; I believe this can prevent Ye Group from expanding in Jiang City."
