684: Chapter 684: Going Back on Your Word?
The next second, Lin Shuang had already instantaneously moved forward a step, the Ghost Crying Dagger pressing against the elegant shadow’s throat in a flash.
The elegant shadow twisted her head in shock and turned around.
In the darkness, did Lin Shuang catch the familiar scent on the shadow’s body?
Only then did he retract the dagger.
Lin Shuang hurriedly turned on the bedroom light.
And there stood the elegant figure.
It was none other than Su Wanqiao?
“What are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?” Lin Shuang asked somewhat speechlessly.
Just moments ago, he had almost injured Su Wanqiao.
Luckily, he withdrew the blade quickly enough.
Su Wanqiao touched her neck, also feeling the lingering fear, “Aren’t I just worried about you?
It’s so late and you hadn’t come back, I thought you were assassinated or something.”
“No, I just finished having supper with your cousin, and I just got back,” Lin Shuang explained.
“Does dealing with a car accident take this long?
You even had time for supper?” Su Wanqiao asked with some suspicion.
Originally she didn’t suspect Lin Shuang, but the guy had been out for too long.
He went out in the evening and returned only late at night.
Which woman wouldn’t be suspicious?
“The person involved in the accident was pretty badly hurt; it took a long time to deal with the police.
While having supper with your cousin, we also discussed some work matters about Zhanlong Group, so it dragged on until now,” Lin Shuang explained.
“Work matters?” Su Wanqiao looked puzzled.
“Yeah, she handed me a work plan, I glanced over it, it’s quite detailed.
Your cousin does have some capability; she could be considered for a slight promotion,” Lin Shuang remarked as he handed a printed work plan to Su Wanqiao.
Fortunately, he had been prepared.
He knew Su Wanqiao would definitely ask about tonight’s affairs.
Lin Shuang had asked Su Moli to prepare a work plan in advance to deal with Su Wanqiao.
Su Wanqiao took the document and glanced at the detailed work schedule.
She nodded with some satisfaction.
“I didn’t expect the cousin to be so diligent in her work,” Su Wanqiao commented lightly.
“Alright, it’s late; you should go to sleep too.
I’m off to bed as well.”
Having her doubts dismissed, she turned and left.
Before leaving, she intentionally brushed past Lin Shuang, trying to detect if there was a scent of any other woman on him.
But as soon as she got close to Lin Shuang, Su Wanqiao’s beautiful eyes squinted, “Hey, you smell strongly of smoke, and…lobster barbecue?”
Lin Shuang shrugged helplessly, “As I said, I just had supper, of course, there’s a smell.”
Su Wanqiao no longer doubted him and left.
After she was gone, Lin Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he had been prepared; before returning home he had deliberately bought more than ten pounds of lobster and placed it in the car so that his body was immersed in the scent of lobster barbecue, effectively covering up the woman’s scent on him.
…
The next morning.
Su Xihe and her daughter arrived early at Zhanlong Group.
Both mother and daughter walked somewhat oddly, supporting each other and clearly struggling.
In the morning, a high-level work meeting was scheduled.
The chairman, Su Zhan, was to preside over the meeting.
No sooner had Su Xihe and her daughter arrived at the meeting room than they bumped into Su Wanqiao.
“Aunt, cousin, what’s wrong with you two?
Why are you limping?” Su Wanqiao asked in confusion.
Su Xihe’s face was complex as she explained, “Moli and I went for a run this morning, a full marathon, 20 kilometers.
Our legs are a bit worn out.”
“Aunt, you two are really pushing it,” Su Wanqiao said with some surprise.
“Heh, it’s all for losing weight,” Aunt Su Xihe replied with an awkward smile.
Underneath her cheongsam, there was pain between her legs, with each step causing swelling and agony.
The prior night’s intensity with Lin Shuang had left both mother and daughter sore and swollen down there.
And there, sitting at the head of the conference table, was Lin Shuang, the very cause of their plight, casually smoking.
Seeing that all the senior executives had arrived, Su Wanqiao began to preside over the meeting.
Family members from the Su Family and various high-level managers and leaders from Zhanlong Group filled the seats around the conference table.
Su Wanqiao continued the discussion on the company’s development plans.
The meeting waged on for over an hour and, at the end of the discussions,
Aunt Su Xihe suddenly volunteered, “Wanqiao, Zhanlong Group has just been established, and there are still some vacant positions within the company.
Su Zhan is the chairman, and you are the president.
Thus, we are missing a vice president.
I think we need to add the position of a vice president.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanqiao nodded, “Indeed, we could add a vice president.
Aunt, do you have someone suitable in mind?”
Aunt Su Xihe replied with a light smile, “I’d like to nominate myself.
I think I could give it a try.”
Su Wanqiao hesitated, not objecting to the idea.
She knew of her aunt’s capabilities, coming from a background in officialdom, naturally possessing managerial skills.
But would Lin Shuang agree?
Su Wanqiao’s gaze inadvertently swept towards Lin Shuang beside her.
After all, Lin Shuang had previously warned her to be careful of Aunt Su Xihe.
At this point, Aunt Su Xihe and her daughter also looked towards Lin Shuang.
After all, he was the true puppet master behind Zhanlong Group.
Lin Shuang took a deep drag of his cigarette before slowly stating, “I disagree.”
Slash~!
Aunt Su Xihe’s face turned ice-cold in an instant!
This bastard?!
He had agreed just last night in bed with her and her daughter!
And now he was going back on his word?!
“Lin Shuang, what do you mean?!” Su Xihe exclaimed, her beautiful chest quivering with anger under her cheongsam as she suddenly stood up to question him.
