190: Chapter 190: A Grin without Sincerity 190: Chapter 190: A Grin without Sincerity To be honest, Su He didn’t want to see Lou Ruozhi during work hours.
But, as fate would have it, this person had come looking for her.
She really is something!
When Lou Ruozhi saw her, she didn’t have a good expression on her face either.
Of course, Su He didn’t give Lou Ruozhi any pleasant looks either.
“Mrs.
Lou, if you’re here to see a doctor, please make an appointment for next week.
If you’re here for personal matters, please leave.
I’m working right now and don’t have time for private discussions.”
Su He made the first move to block what Lou Ruozhi had to say.
Every time Lou Ruozhi saw Su He, her heart felt as if it was stuffed with cotton wool, unbearably uncomfortable.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su He had Lu Zhenyu show the guest out!
She even thought about getting her office disinfected.
Thinking about it, she acted on it.
Just then, Jiang Huai walked by.
Su He immediately said: “Head nurse, please ask the cleaning auntie to disinfect my office.”
Jiang Huai glanced at Lou Ruozhi standing at the door of Su He’s office, nodded and said, “Okay, I will tell the auntie later.”
After speaking, Su He didn’t look at Lou Ruozhi again and turned to leave.
Lou Ruozhi, standing there, was so angered by her words and actions that she felt smoke could pour from all seven orifices.
“Su He, stop right there!”
Just as Su He had taken a few steps away, Lou Ruozhi called out from behind.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned towards them.
Su He stopped in her tracks.
At that moment, she cursed a certain man several times in her heart…
He really knows how to make trouble for her!
At the top-floor office of DK Building, Jiang Yan sneezed and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.
“Master, are you catching a cold?”
Jiang Qi, who was standing in front of the desk presenting his report, suddenly heard the man in front of him sneeze, his face colour changed.
His injuries had only just healed a few days ago, and Jiang Qi was worried about any lasting effects.
“Master, maybe you should rest a bit?”
Jiang Yan raised his hand to rub his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: “It’s nothing, continue.”
…
Jiang Qi continued his report upon hearing this.
But it wasn’t long before.
Jiang Feng knocked on the door and entered, his face filled with urgency.
“Master, the Young Madam is looking for you.”
With that said, Jiang Feng handed the phone to the man in front of him.
Su He wasn’t sure if Jiang Yan was in a meeting at the moment, so she simply called Jiang Feng.
The man took the phone, and his voice, deep and alluring, suddenly softened, “Hello, wife, what’s the matter?”
On the other end, Su He, upon hearing his voice, quickly snapped out of indulging in his pleasant tone.
Then, Jiang Yan heard her speak in a particularly grumpy tone: “That woman is making trouble at my workplace, you deal with her.”
He guessed who she referred to as “that woman” as soon as she mentioned it.
“Fine, I know, focus on your job.
Don’t bother with her,” he said.
“If she bothers you again, just handle it, don’t worry about the consequences, I’ve got your back.”
Su He was slightly taken aback, then let it go.
Jiang Yan now being so cold and ruthless towards Lou Ruozhi wasn’t surprising—it was a disaster of her own making.
After a hum from Su He, she hung up the phone.
Now, the Lou Ruozhi standing in front of her was as pale as a ghost, utterly bloodless.
Lou Ruozhi naturally heard everything Jiang Yan said because Su He had put him on speaker.
Su He had made the call in front of her on purpose; sometimes attacking directly at the heart is the most powerful weapon.
“Mrs.
Lou, what will it be?
Will you leave on your own, or shall I ask the security department to escort you out?”
Su He smiled faintly, but her eyes carried a trace of mockery.
Lou Ruozhi’s facial expression was like a palette, richly varied to the extreme.
Today, she faced rejections everywhere and still suffered the same fate in this young lady’s presence; how could she swallow this humiliation?
Then, everyone including Lu Zhenyu saw her raise her hand to slap Su He’s face.
However, the next second, her hand was suspended in mid-air.
Su He had already prepared for it, seeing the viciousness flash through Lou Ruozhi’s eyes.
She could understand Lou Ruozhi’s roller-coaster emotions, arguably more uncomfortable than eating fly shit.
Therefore, her movements were expected.
But Su He was not one to just stand there and be hit.
“Mrs.
Lou, think it through.
If you slap me, you might have to spend some time at the police station.
The prestigious Mrs.
Lou…
oh no, I should say the former Mrs.
Lou, since you’ve divorced Mr.
Lou.
If the media starts fabricating stories and ruins your dignified and elegant image, it would have nothing to do with me, as I don’t care for such superficial reputations.”
Lou Ruozhi was left speechless: “…”
Su He was openly mocking her hypocrisy and pretense.
And she picked precisely at her sore points!
“Su He, you…”
“Are you going to say I’m uneducated?
Say I don’t know how to respect my elders?”
Su He interrupted her, finishing her sentence.
“You lot can only say these few lines over and over!
If you want others to respect you, first you have to be worthy of it, but sadly you are not.”
After saying this, Su He threw her hand away.
“Get out now, don’t bother me!”
Tossing out this line, she turned and left straight away.
No matter how Lou Ruozhi called after her, it was to no avail.
Lan Yan also stopped her, not letting her chase after Su He.
Lan Yan slightly narrowed her eyes and said coldly: “Mrs.
Lou, our boss said get out, I’m not as talkative as my boss, and I can be quite rough.”
“…”
Being berated repeatedly, today was probably the most frustrating day in nearly fifty years of Lou Ruozhi’s life.
Her own children were cold-hearted towards her, and now even strangers dared to stand up to her!
…
At six-ten, Su He got into Jiang Yan’s car.
Once in the car, she remained silent.
After she got in, Jiang Feng consciously lowered the partition.
It’s not their place to witness Master coaxing the Young Madam, nor would they dare to watch.
Jiang Yan naturally took her hand, his voice magnetic and warm, “Are you angry?”
Su He didn’t respond to him, choosing to ignore his presence altogether.
No matter what he said, she acted as if she was deaf, as though she hadn’t heard a thing.
It wasn’t until his hot breath tickled her ear, making her skin itch and heat up, that she could no longer ignore the sensation.
“Stop it!”
She raised her hand to push his head away and then scooted closer to the car door.
As she dodged, he closed in again, “Will you pay attention to me now, hm?”
A man with no shame can really be “annoying.”
“Sorry, it was my oversight that let her bother you.”
His tempting deep voice sounded next to her ear.
He was taking the initiative to apologize and admit his fault, and if she kept holding on, it would be meaningless.
She hadn’t been angry to begin with, only…
She asked with curiosity, “What exactly did you do to her afterwards?”
Su He didn’t believe that Lou Ruozhi’s first point of contact was her.
Jiang Yan roughly explained to her.
“…”
After hearing the details, Su He only said two words: “Ruthless!”
No wonder Lou Ruozhi was so furious.
“You really are a dutiful son,” Su He said half-jokingly.
…
On the morning of Saturday.
“Baobao, I’m so bored, let’s take baby out for shopping?”
Jing Xuan really couldn’t stay in anymore.
She had been staying at Moon Gift Villa this whole week, just to avoid Lu Zhiyang.
Yet this man still ran here back and forth every day; she was impressed.
Su He had always been responsive to her requests.
Soon, the two of them took Su Baobao and went out.
“Mummy, shall we take Xuanxuan sister with us?”
In the car, Su Baobao spoke up.
Su He replied, “Okay, we can.”
Jing Xuan said, “Then I’ll give Sang Luo a call.”
Jing Xuan quickly dialed Sang Luo’s number.
At this moment, Sang Luo was worrying and didn’t know what to do, when she received a call from Jing Xuan, “That’s great, I was just worrying about whether to send Xuanxuan to daycare later and then pick her up after I finish my tasks.”
Jing Xuan said, “Don’t send her, we’ll pick Xuanxuan up in a while; are you at home?”
“Yes, we’re still at home.”
“Okay, we’ll be there soon.”
Half an hour later.
Sang Luo handed Sang Yuxuan over to Su He and Jing Xuan and then hurriedly left in a taxi.
Su He offered to give her a ride, but she declined.
“Sang Luo, where is she rushing to like this?” Jing Xuan asked, puzzled.
Su He said, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be because my brother wrung her out.”
Jing Xuan blinked her eyes and sighed softly, “What do you think; if Zhimian knew he had a daughter, what would his expression be?”
Su He thought for a moment and then said, “Can’t picture it, but I guess he won’t be very composed.”
The two of them took the two children out shopping for most of the day, and when they were tired, they sat down to rest and casually had lunch.
As they were eating, Jiang You arrived.
She didn’t wake up until eleven o’clock, and after seeing the message Su He left for her, she quickly got ready and came over.
“Little aunt, we’ve been out half the day and you’re just getting here; the sun is already shining on our backs~”
Su Baobao said to Jiang You in a milky voice.
Jiang You reached out and rubbed his little head, “Yes, yes, your little aunt isn’t as young as you, can’t get up that early.”
Just as everyone was having a great time eating, there had to be someone who came to spoil the mood.
And it wasn’t just one fly that arrived.
The three of them silently chose to be selectively blind and acted as if they saw nothing.
They continued to eat and drink as usual.
The two little ones were also engrossed in their food.
“Xiao You, Jing Xuan, Dr.
Su, what a coincidence.”
Tang Sirou approached and greeted the three of them.
But what she received in return was a collective silence from them.
“…”
An awkward atmosphere arose spontaneously.
An Xueyin glanced at Su He, pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but clearly did not dare to speak out of turn.
In the end, she simply shut her mouth.
Seeing that none of the three people paid her any attention, Tang Sirou slightly furrowed her eyebrows.
A touch of embarrassment appeared in her eyes, then she turned her gaze towards the child sitting next to Su He.
However, the child sitting next to Su He was Sang Yuxuan.
Both little ones were eating with their heads down, and she could only see half of their faces.
But still, she noticed that one of the children bore some resemblance to Su He, while the other child’s eyes looked like Su He’s.
As Tang Sirou puzzled over this, Sang Yuxuan raised her head, turned to Su He and sweetly called out, “Aunt, I want some water.”
Su He responded with a “sure.”
Both Tang Sirou and An Xueyin remembered the incident from the last time in the restaurant when they saw Sang Yuxuan after she called out to Su He.
They had noticed that this little girl bore some resemblance to Su He back then.
An Xueyin had secretly investigated this little girl; her mother was someone else, not Su He.
On the contrary, Tang Sirou was a bit disheveled at the moment.
Could it be… both these children were born to Su He?
Did she have twins back then?
Otherwise, why would both children look somewhat like her?
But paradoxically, one calls Su He “Aunt,” while the other calls her “Auntie.”
Could they be trying to muddy the waters?
She had people look into this a lot, but no matter how much they investigated, she always felt something was missing, but there was never a conclusive answer presented to her.
Encountering them again today, she was even more convinced that the child Su He had back then was not aborted.
At that moment, Su Yimo also raised his head.
His face, superimposed with that of Jiang Yan, was now right before Tang Sirou and An Xueyin.
Both were stunned; one was shocked and fearful, the other completely astonished and in disbelief…
Now, the doubts in Tang Sirou’s mind had suddenly cleared up.
But after so many years, why had Jiang Yan never gone to see this child?
That was what she didn’t understand.
Today, Su He had no intention of hiding the existence of Su Yimo any longer anyway.
Since they’ve met, they met.
Some things…it was time…
At this point, Jiang You was the first who couldn’t keep it in, mainly because she didn’t like being stared at while eating.
But the people in front of her had no self-awareness, blatantly standing there despite knowing others were ignoring her.
“Both of you, have you switched careers to become waitresses?”
Jiang You looked up at them with a smile that was not quite a smile.
Tang Sirou, An Xueyin: “…”
“Otherwise, why are you two standing around here?
Acting as greeters?”
“Don’t you know it’s rude to stare at someone while they’re eating?
You always go around saying others have no manners, pretending as though you have some yourself.
If you can’t even follow what you preach, then better keep your mouth clean and stop making a fool of yourself.”
Jiang You’s sharp tongue never disappointed.
With Jiang You there, there was no need for Su He and Jing Xuan to step in.
Tang Sirou and An Xueyin’s faces shifted color, and for a moment, they were at a loss for words…
“What’s wrong?” Jiang You saw that they weren’t moving and a hint of sarcasm appeared in her eyes: “Not leaving yet, waiting for me to invite you?”
“…”
Tang Sirou pressed her lips together, looked at Su He, and said, “Dr.
Su, since we’ve met today, I have some things I would like to discuss with you alone.”
Since Tang Sirou had been standing there, Su He had not taken a single glance at her.
It was only when she had just spoken that Su He slowly raised her eyes and looked at her.
Hearing Tang Sirou wanted to speak with Su He alone, Jiang You immediately became protective, saying, “No way, what’s there to talk about alone?
If there’s something to say, say it here.
Who knows what tricks you’ll pull in a moment.”
Being straightforward and blunt was always Jiang You’s nature, especially towards Tang Sirou, whom she didn’t like, she had even less of a reason to consider her feelings.
“What if you cheat my sister-in-law later and we’re not around?
Who would I argue with?” Jiang You looked to Jing Xuan, who had been silent, and asked, “Right, Ms.
Xuan?”
Jing Xuan’s answer was unquestionably: “That’s right, if you want to talk, talk here.
After all, no one here is a stranger.
Even if you have a private chat with our Su Baobao, we will still find out afterward, and it would be hard on her to repeat it all to us.
We can’t bear to see her troubled, so if Superstar Tang has something to say, just stand here and speak.”
“…”
