194: Chapter 194: It’s Tiring to Placate People 194: Chapter 194: It’s Tiring to Placate People Jiang Yan looked at her with a burning gaze and slightly curled his thin lips, “Mrs.
Jiang, it’s really beneath you to just be a doctor.”
This woman’s observational abilities and sharpness were far from ordinary.
“He definitely isn’t in a hurry, because in his eyes, the Lou Family is just an insignificant player.”
Hearing this, Su He’s eyebrows slightly raised, “What do you mean?”
Jiang Yan didn’t tell her directly, but instead deliberately kept her guessing.
“You’ll know when the time comes.”
She didn’t really care, mainly because such matters were beyond her control, and usually, she would just gossip a little.
So, knowing or not knowing, it didn’t make a difference to her.
…
At six o’clock in the evening.
Right after Su He got off work, Ye Jiuqing’s call came through.
Looking at the caller ID, she initially planned to ignore it, but then she thought that if she didn’t answer, this guy would keep calling.
In the end, she would be the one annoyed.
So, she answered it.
The distinct masculine voice immediately came through the phone, but when compared to Jiang Yan, it was still lacking.
She had to admit that over the years, she had been infatuated with Jiang Yan’s voice, and it was only for him.
“What are you doing?” Ye Jiuqing casually asked.
Su He responded directly, “If it’s important say it, if not, hanging up.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…”
However, he was used to her way of speaking.
“Do I have to have a reason to look for you?” Ye Jiuqing lowered his voice, which carried a metallic hint, making one feel it penetrate deep into the heart.
Su He responded indifferently, “It seems you have nothing meaningful then, let’s hang up.”
With that, she made a motion to hang up the phone.
Ye Jiuqing quickly bit his tongue and said: “Su He, can’t you just be nicer to me?
Will it kill you to chat with me for a while?
I really do have something important, it’s about the Xuanqing Organization.”
The last sentence, he said a bit hastily.
Su He said, “Then talk about the important matter.”
“…”
She clearly didn’t want to speak more than necessary.
Ye Jiuqing resignedly said, “In two weeks, Si Jinchuan will return to the headquarters of the Xuanqing Organization.”
Knowing he wasn’t done, Su He didn’t interrupt and waited for him to continue.
“That day, he will also bring someone, probably the person you and Xing Siyang are looking for,” he said.
Just stepping out of the hospital, Su He’s footsteps paused slightly, “Are you sure?”
Ye Jiuqing proudly said, “Of course, when have I ever lied to you?”
Hearing this, Su He chuckled lightly but didn’t say more.
On this subject, Ye Jiuqing indeed had never lied.
She then simply said, “Okay, I got it.
If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
“Hold on,” Ye Jiuqing quickly added, “I have another thing.”
“What is it, just say it.”
“If you want to go to the Xuanqing headquarters, I can take you inside.”
After saying this, Ye Jiuqing laughed, then said, “Without me, you probably wouldn’t be able to get in.”
After listening to him, Su He stayed silent for a while, then said, “I’ll consider it.”
Ye Jiuqing responded, “What’s there to consider?
Without me, you can’t get in.”
Su He replied, “Didn’t you just say ‘probably’?
That means there’s still a chance.
If there really is no other way, I’ll look for you then.
It won’t be too late.”
Ye Jiuqing felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
Why did he have to say those two words just now?
He was just being mouthy!
Su He was really cunning, seizing every word.
“…”
Just as Su He finished talking, a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her.
“Let’s leave it here, hanging up.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
After getting into the car.
Jiang Yan asked, “Who were you talking to?”
Su He answered, “Ye Jiuqing.”
The man frowned slightly, “What does he want calling you?”
He hadn’t forgotten that Ye Jiuqing was always thinking about his wife.
Adhering to the notion that out of sight, out of mind, he didn’t bother about it much.
Su He found it funny when he referred to Ye Jiuqing as “that guy” and laughed.
Then, she began speaking, “Actually, it’s nothing much, he just said that Si Jinchuan will be going to the headquarters of the Xuanqing Organization in two weeks, and he has a way to get me in, asking me to go with him.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, “Are you going?”
Su He said, “I didn’t agree to go with him, he has his way, I have mine.”
Meaning that she would go.
He said, “Then I’ll go with you.”
Su He looked at him and blinked, “No need, I’m not going alone.”
The man’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “With whom?”
“Siyang.”
It was definite she’d be going with Xing Siyang.
Hearing it was Xing Siyang, the man’s eyebrows relaxed.
Then, Su He asked, “You’re not upset, right?”
“Upset about what?”
“Not letting you come.”
“Do I look upset?”
Su He looked at him a bit longer, then shook her head, “Doesn’t seem like it, that’s fine then.”
Hearing this, the man sighed helplessly, then asked, “Are you very afraid of me getting upset?”
Su He nodded without hesitation, “Yes, if you get upset, I have to pacify you, which is exhausting.”
“You’re a grown man, so don’t get upset so easily with me, otherwise, I’ll have to waste brain cells figuring out how to appease you.
It’s really tiring.
Look at me, I seldom get upset with you, right?”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Both Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi in the driver’s and co-driver’s seats didn’t know what to say.
Their family’s Young Madam was indeed unique.
With such a straightforward character, only she could handle their Master.
Their Master fancied just this type of person.
…
At around eight o’clock in the evening.
Xing Siyang arrived at the Moon Gift Villa to find Su He, and the two talked in the study for almost an hour.
During this time, the father and son, and the little golden retriever Paomian, were just in the living room watching television.
Just that, someone’s eyes kept drifting upstairs occasionally.
Su Yimo glanced up and said in a childish voice, “Dad, if you miss Mommy, go find her.
You don’t need to stay here with me.
I don’t need company.”
Hearing his son’s voice, Jiang Yan turned and said, “Your mommy is talking business with someone.
It wouldn’t be polite to interrupt.”
The little guy retorted, “Mommy and Uncle Siyang aren’t so petty.
We’re all family here, and Uncle Siyang wouldn’t mind these things.
Dad, you don’t need an excuse.
If you want to go, just go.”
Faced with his son’s blunt exposure, Jiang Yan admitted he was indeed his own flesh and blood.
Inside the study.
Xing Siyang stated, “Maybe I should just go by myself.”
Su He responded, “Siyang, there’s no need to discuss this further.
I’ve already made up my mind.”
She wouldn’t feel at ease letting him go alone.
Xing Siyang then asked, “What about him?
Does he know about this?”
Su He understood he was referring to Jiang Yan, “He knows, but don’t worry, he won’t stop me.”
This was indeed true; Jiang Yan had never said she couldn’t go.
On the contrary, he wanted to accompany her.
Having said that, Xing Siyang had nothing more to add.
After a few more words, the two prepared to leave.
Right as they approached the door, both halted and exchanged glances.
“It seems your husband is still a bit worried.”
Xing Siyang chuckled, otherwise why would he be eavesdropping outside the door?
Su He: “…”
“Click!”
She opened the door of the study.
Facing the person outside eye to eye.
Jiang Yan hadn’t expected her to suddenly open the door, his hand raised in a knocking gesture froze mid-air.
He quickly said, “I came to bring you something to drink.
You’ve been talking for so long, I thought you might be thirsty.”
Su He and Xing Siyang both looked at his left hand, which was holding a cup of water.
Su He looked at him and asked, “So, you brought only one cup of water, who is it for, me or Siyang?”
Jiang Yan’s stern face carried a warm smile, “Of course, it’s for you.
I made you some honey water to soothe your throat.”
Xing Siyang stood behind Su He, smiling silently.
Su He was somewhat helpless, “…”
She didn’t quite know what to say about him; you could say he was cunning, but it didn’t seem exactly like cunning.
“Alright, it’s getting late, I should be going,” Xing Siyang said: “As for the drink, I think I’ll have it at home.
I can’t afford the water here.”
Su He turned to look at him awkwardly, “Siyang, sorry for the embarrassment.”
Xing Siyang didn’t mind, “No worries, seeing someone so concerned about you, I feel relieved.”
“I’ll head off first then.
No need to see me out.
Take your time to enjoy the honey water that President Jiang personally prepared for you.
I guess it’s probably his first time making it.
It must be savored.”
He joked, then left the study and went downstairs.
Downstairs, he greeted Su Yimo and then departed.
…
Thursday arrived.
Su He “bumped into” Lou Ziang in the hospital elevator.
The moment she saw him, she didn’t even want to step inside.
She paused, debating whether to wait for the next one when Lou Ziang said, “Dr.
Su, aren’t you coming in?”
There were only three people in the elevator, including Lou Ziang.
Seeing Su He standing still, he added, “Could it be, Dr.
Su, that you are worried about being in the same space with me, making your elder brother jealous?”
He kept pressing the door open button.
Someone inside began to grow impatient and muttered, “Are you coming in or not?
If not, close the door, I’m in a hurry.”
But it seemed as if Lou Ziang hadn’t heard at all.
He still had a smile in his eyes as he watched Su He, as if he could keep pressing the door open button as long as she didn’t come in.
Su He frowned subtly without making a sound, and in the end, she entered the elevator.
The hospital’s elevator was somewhat slow and the building was tall with many people at this time.
Waiting for the elevator took some time, and indeed, she was in a hurry to see a patient in the emergency room.
After entering, she automatically distanced herself from Lou Ziang, positioning herself diagonally opposite him.
Seeing her standing at the farthest position from him, Lou Ziang very gentlemanly asked, “Dr.
Su, which floor do you need?”
Su He replied indifferently, “No need, someone has already pressed it.”
Her cold attitude was nothing unusual to Lou Ziang.
It was clear that Su He was deliberately ignoring him.
He could tell, and it wasn’t the first day she had been like this.
He suddenly found such a woman quite interesting, evoking a desire to conquer.
At this moment, Su He had no idea what Lou Ziang was thinking in his mind.
After reaching the ground floor, she quickly walked out of the elevator, heading straight for the emergency department without looking back.
Lou Ziang watched her slender and tall figure from behind, his lips curving into a smile, then he turned and walked the other way.
After a while, he saw Tang Sirou coming toward him carrying a thermal container.
He had come down specifically to pick up Tang Sirou.
Ever since Lou Guohui had been hospitalized after fainting, she had been nearly coming every day to bring soup for him.
“Ziang, why did you come down?
Didn’t I tell you not to come down to pick me up?” Tang Sirou said softly, “I know the way.”
Lou Ziang glanced at the thermal container in her hands, took it from her and said, “Just sitting in the sickroom isn’t much different; coming down to pick you up gives me a chance to move around.”
Tang Sirou smiled brightly at him and said no more.
As they walked back, Tang Sirou asked, “How is uncle feeling today?”
Lou Ziang replied, “Quite good, he can eat and sleep.”
The affairs of the company were no longer a worry for Lou Guohui, and he indeed felt more relaxed.
It’s unclear whether it was because he was in good spirits or if Lou Ruozhi was taking good care of him.
These past few days, the two acted as though they had never argued, with Lou Ruozhi dutifully taking good care of him.
It was an excellent example of the saying, ‘Couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot.’
Moreover, these past two days, Lou Guohui had handed him the major powers of the Lou Family.
Tang Sirou covertly observed Lou Ziang, trying to discern something from him, but it seemed she couldn’t find anything; either he hid it very well, or there really was nothing there.
She casually asked, “By the way, Ziang, since uncle is hospitalized, are you managing the Lou Family?”
Lou Ziang responded with a cooperative “Hmm.”
He did not say anything more than necessary.
Tang Sirou didn’t know what else to ask, fearing that asking too much might arouse his suspicion.
But in the elevator, Lou Ziang had brought up Su He voluntarily.
He suddenly asked, “I remember you mentioned that Su He is the daughter of An Chengyuan, and was later left to be raised by relatives in the countryside, right?”
Tang Sirou was slightly stunned before responding, “Yes, I heard it from my cousin Xueyin.
She knows more about An Family’s affairs than I do.”
Familiar?
Lou Ziang’s lips curved slightly, an ambiguous evil smile hanging on the corner of his lips.
It seems the An Family was also deceived; otherwise, why would they ignore someone with such a background like Su He?
It was quite funny…
Seeing his silent smile, Tang Sirou asked, “What’s the matter?
Is there a problem?”
Lou Ziang looked down at her, his lips curving, and said, “Ms.
Sirou, since when has your information been so unreliable?”
