Chapter 22: Invite Her Over

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He was finally convinced!

Su Qianqian’s heart which previously ached for him, all of it turned into joy.

However, when Zhang Lan heard this, she felt uncomfortable.

“Ah Xiao, you and shallow marriage are all fixed, marriage is already an iron plate on the matter, you say consider what is the meaning of this?”

Su Qianqian didn’t dare to speak.

She had forgotten that Zhang Lan had mistaken Gu Jinmo for Gu Jinxiao.

Afraid that Gu Jinmo would go back on his word, Su Qianqian pulled Zhang Lan back intimately, “Auntie, Mo… Brother Xiao has just saved his life. Please let him rest for a while. The wedding is not urgent.”

When she said the words “Brother Xiao,” Su Qianqian paused for a moment. She felt uncomfortable.

She didn’t dare to look Gu Jinmo in the eye.

“Auntie, I’ll take you back to the ward first. I have something to talk to Brother Xiao in private.”

Since she had achieved her goal, she was afraid Zhang Lan would say something else, so she took the initiative to send her out.

Zhang Lan was worried about her “eldest son” and hesitated for a moment, “I’m worried about Ah Xiao’s being here. How about this? I’ll call Ah Mo and ask him to take care of his brother. After all, he’s always causing trouble in school.”

After saying that, she took out her phone and prepared to make a call.

Su Qianqian’s heart raced as she hurriedly looked at Gu Jinmo. Gu Jinmo also frowned.

His phone was just beside him. His private number had not changed for so many years. As long as he called, he would be exposed.

Su Qianqian also thought of this.

She was afraid that Zhang Lan would regain her memory and felt that this was good. If she was exposed, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

She made up her mind to stop Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan wanted to turn on her phone, but she realized that she did not recognize it at all.

“What phone is this?”

Her phone was not like this!

“Who put this phone in my pocket?” Zhang Lan angrily threw her phone to the side.

Su Qianqian looked at the phone on the floor and her mouth opened slightly.

With the rapid development of technology, it was normal that Zhang Lan, who had lost her memory, did not recognize the new cell phone.

Su Qianqian stepped forward and said,” Auntie, you don’t have to call Ah Mo. He’s going to take his exams soon. I’ll take care of Brother Xiao. Don’t worry.”

Zhang Lan was silent for a while. After hearing Su Qianqian’s words, she no longer insisted.

“Then take good care of Xiao. I’ll go back first.”

After she left, Su Qianqian finally dared to look up at Gu Jinmo.

Thinking of how she had addressed him earlier, Su Qianqian apologized awkwardly, “Brother Mo, I’m sorry. You’ve worked hard to cover up this lie.”

After she finished speaking, she stole a glance at Jinmo. Seeing he was emotionless, she relaxed.

Just as she was about to discuss the exact time of the marriage with Gu Jinmo, her phone rang.

She picked up her phone and wanted to hang up, but she saw her father’s name, “Su Caiyuan.”

Her father rarely called her.

Su Qianqian picked it up, and Su Caiyuan’s cold voice pierced through the sound waves.

“Qianqian, how did you offend the Xie family? Didn’t I tell you I’ve been discussing a project with the Xie family recently and that I want you to build a good relationship with them?”

With Gu Jinmo by her side, Su Qianqian’s face heated up as she heard the questions. She felt awkward and embarrassed.

“Dad, I remember. I’ve always had a good relationship with the Xie family. I was thinking about your instructions. I didn’t even retort when Xie Zigui scolded me last time. As long as it’s related to the Xie family, I’ll let it go.”

“Are you sure you didn’t offend the Xie family?”

“I’m sure.”

“Then what about Xie Yiye?”

“…”

He had found the root of the problem.

“Go to the Xie family tomorrow and apologize to Xie Yiye. You have to make him forgive you.” Su Caiyuan snorted coldly.

“Why?” Su Qianqian bit her lower lip as tears welled up in her eyes.

She could build a good relationship with anyone in the Xie family, but Xie Yiye had never been on good terms with her since she was young. She couldn’t bring herself to apologize to him.

“Dad, you know that Xie Yiye and I have been sworn enemies since we were young. Even if I apologize to him, not only will he not give me some face, but he will also laugh at me.”

She could already imagine how Xie Yiye would mock her.

Su Caiyuan thought of Xie Yiye’s obvious trouble at the meeting and was anxious. His tone was fierce, “When we discussed the cooperation with the Xie family this time, Xie Yiye deliberately messed up the cooperation.”

“What?!” Su Qianqian widened her eyes and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

She and Xie Yiye had never liked each other since they were young, but Xie Yiye had always kept a clear line between public and private matters and had never taken his anger out on the two families. This was also the reason why she dared to go against Xie Yiye.

He didn’t expect Xie Yiye to deliberately destroy the cooperation this time.

This cooperation was very important. It could be said that whether Su Corporation could further expand its scale after going public depended on this cooperation with the Xie family.

If she really screwed up, not only would her father be scolded by the board of directors, but the entire company’s operations might also be affected.

In order to cooperate with the Xie family this time, the family rejected almost all cooperation with other companies.

If the matter with the Xie family fell through…

The more Su Qianqian thought about it, the scarier she felt.

“Qianqian, don’t disappoint Daddy.” Su Caiyuan hung up after saying this.

Su Qianqian fell back into her chair, her face pale.

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Jinmo’s words pulled Su Qianqian back to reality. She calmed herself down and was about to tell Gu Jinmo about this, but she held back in the end.

She was the daughter of the Su family. She could not expose her family’s flaws in front of Brother Mo.

She couldn’t let Brother Mo feel she wasn’t worthy of him.

“It’s okay. My Dad told me about some work problems, but they’ll be solved soon.”

Wasn’t she just apologizing to Xie Yiye?

As long as the cooperation could continue, she would apologize.

As long as she lowered her head, Xie Yiye wouldn’t bother with her.

Su Qianqian thought.

On the other side, Su Caiyuan hung up the phone, and his assistant handed over the information he had found.

“Xie Yiye did it on purpose this time. His goal was to avenge his rumored girlfriend.”

“Rumored girlfriend?” Su Caiyuan took the paper. When he saw Wen Yan and her information, his face darkened.

“This woman called Wen Yan is quite capable.”

Not only was she Gu Jinmo’s wife, but she was also entangled with Xie Yiye.

Yet, his innocent daughter had offended her.

Xie Yiye did this most likely to help this person vent his anger.

He really wanted to meet Wen Yan.

Su Caiyuan lit a cigar and took a deep puff.

“Invite this Wen Yan over. Remember, don’t use violence.”

Wen Yan rummaged through Grandma’s house for the whole day and finally found a small box.

She opened the box and found a thin gauze handkerchief and two strands of hair wrapped in paper.

Grandmother was meticulous. She thought perhaps one day, her relatives would come to her door. She did not let go of anything on her, including the hair on her body at that time.

She twirled it up and looked at it under the sunlight. It was long hair that was slightly yellowish.

It should belong to a woman.

The gauze was thin and small, as if it had been taken from somewhere.

In the cold winter, she only had such a handkerchief to keep her company. If it wasn’t for Grandma saving her in time, she would have died long ago.

Wen Yan’s eyes turned dry and her heart felt like it was being held by chains.

The person who abandoned her really wanted her dead.
