Chapter 234 A Big Deal

Luo Shu looked at the early morning not far away, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

Su Ting's gaze also fell over, and the unease from last night surged up again.

That photo was taken by Su Ting and Ling Chen...

I don't know where Luo Shu got that photo from, or how she managed to get her hands on it.

If this were to be revealed to others, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Mayor Ling has just taken office, and Mrs. Ling certainly won't tolerate her son's philandering, unless...

Unless she was with Lingchen.

But Su Ting refused Ling Chen that day, and Ling Chen understood what Su Ting meant and did not insist.

After that day we parted, he seemed to have ignored her completely in the early hours of the morning, probably because he had given up on her.

Moreover, Su Ting has no family background whatsoever; the only thing she has is her elderly father who is still in prison.

Thinking of this, her hatred for Luo Shu intensified.

Su Ting glanced at Luo Shu, who was listening intently to the opera.

She gave a slight sneer. "How old is she? Trying to listen to opera like other people. I wonder if she can even understand it."

She took a sip of cool water and, along with the other two, focused her gaze on the pavilion not far away. Her mind wasn't on the opera, but rather on the events of the previous night, and she was mentally drafting a plan to deal with what was to come.

She didn't sleep a wink last night and didn't have time to think about today's events, which is why she still has dark circles under her eyes.

Just as she came to her senses, unfortunately, Ling Chen's gaze fell on the three of them, though it was unclear who he was looking at.

She clenched her fists tightly, and the teacup sank into her fingertips, leaving a white mark around them.

She felt a little nervous meeting Ling Chen's gaze; after all, the child in her belly was his.

Moreover, both of them knew that she could no longer pursue Yu Zhan's path; their affair had already been exposed, but it hadn't been made public yet.

Now that this has been made public, Su Ting will probably lose face.

She felt a chill run down her spine; the matter was about to be made public.

Luo Shu and Yu Zhan are planning to outlast her, and she has no idea how to end this situation.

"Teacher Su, are you feeling unwell?" Xu Qiaomu asked in a low voice from the side.

"No, it's nothing," Su Ting hurriedly explained, calming her thoughts.

Luo Shu glanced at her, then looked away, not particularly surprised by her reaction.

When Xu Qiaomu saw Luo Shu's disdainful look towards Su Ting, he couldn't help but question the world's top designer.

Indeed, ability and character should not be confused.

"Excuse me, which way is the restroom?" Su Ting asked the maid beside her softly.

The maid pointed in a direction.

Su Ting got up, picked up her bag, and headed towards the restroom.

Before I even reached the restroom, I saw Ling Chen, who had just finished making a phone call, standing by the corner of the long corridor.

As Su Ting was about to walk past him and turn to the other side, Ling Chen stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Actually, you could have just said hello to me." "Late at night" refers to the clothing design project.

"No need." Su Ting withdrew her hand.

"I know about what happened last night."

Su Ting knew that Ling Chen not only knew who did what happened last night, but he also knew that Yu Zhan and Luo Shu were going to cause her trouble.

Ling Chen already knew exactly who Yu Zhan was when he joined the company, and he also knew a little about Yu Zhan from his circle of rich young men.

Everyone knows who Yu Zhan is.

He didn't rely on his parents or the family business; he built his empire single-handedly from scratch, even while in a wheelchair. Everyone knows that.

To scheme against him, perhaps only Luo Shu in the whole world would dare to do so.

"Are you here to see me make a fool of myself too?" Su Ting frowned.

She knew Ling Chen's character; he wouldn't kick someone when they were down, but she didn't want him to cause her any trouble.

It seemed that she only had Yu Zhan in her heart and had no interest in anyone else. This sentence seemed to be mocking him, mocking his devotion as worthless.

He slowly withdrew his hand in the early morning, saying, "If you need help, remember to contact me."

He may not be a good partner, but he should be a good father.

Su Ting watched his retreating figure as he turned and walked away, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Every time she went for a prenatal checkup, he would secretly follow her around in the early morning. She's not stupid; how could he not see her?

Su Ting had considered aborting the child, but it seemed that this child was her only family member in the world, and she didn't want to give up.

She quickly rubbed her lower abdomen and headed towards the restroom.

Madam Ling, who had been lingering around the corner for an unknown amount of time, felt as if her feet were made of lead and couldn't move.

She naturally knew what Su Ting meant by that little gesture.

She was both happy and sad.

She's going to be a grandmother, but it seems like her own son forced her into it, and the woman doesn't like him.

This is a difficult situation.

When Su Ting returned to the pavilion, Madam Ling arrived a few minutes later.

"I'm sorry, I got so engrossed in the opera that I kept you waiting."

When Madam Ling arrived, they all stood up and greeted her one by one.

"Sit down, everyone. Don't stand." She sat down next to Su Ting, observing her almost imperceptibly before looking away.

The maid brought out fresh seasonal fruits and replaced the tea with fresh juice and milk.

"Don't be shy, let's eat and chat, consider it an afternoon tea for sisters." Madam Ling personally poured a glass of juice for Su Ting.

Su Ting was flattered and overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Madam Ling later dealt with Luo Shu and Xu Qiaomu as well, which dispelled Su Ting's sudden doubts.

Seeing how approachable Madam Ling was, everyone felt much more relaxed talking to her.

Madam Ling's requirements weren't very high. Her ideal style wasn't as luxurious as those of wealthy women who were high and mighty, but it still had to be in line with the times. The overall trend and direction were too broad, without a suitable starting point.

It roughly means "as it comes".

She gives you plenty of time, providing design drafts every two weeks, from which you will choose.

From evening gowns to casual pajamas, everything has to be custom-made.

This is a huge order!

Madam Ling learned about the main styles of each of the three women one by one, wanting to know their design directions.

Luo Shu and Xu Qiaomu shared their thoughts, which Madam Ling appreciated. When it was Su Ting's turn, Madam Ling made an excuse to go to the restroom and said that she would not stay for dinner and that she could leave if she had something to do.

Luo Shu and Xu Qiaomu knew this was a tactful way of asking them to leave, so they left early, leaving Su Ting alone.

Su Ting seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what was going on. She felt that she had said something to Madam Ling in the early morning, and she couldn't help but feel angry.

When Madam Ling returned, she didn't talk much about anything else, but focused all her attention on the design.

Su listened attentively as she explained, while Madam Ling sat beside her, listening intently, seemingly without any sign of anything amiss.

Actually, Su didn't take what Madam Ling said to heart; instead, she carefully examined the woman in front of her.

It was as if they were trying to discern something from her words and actions.

Before leaving the courtyard, Luo Shu sent a message to Yu Zhan.

Yu Zhan told her to wait ten minutes.

Xu Qiaomu walked enthusiastically toward Luo Shu and said, "Teacher Luo, why don't you ride in my car?"

"No need, my husband is coming to pick me up," Luo Shu smiled.

"I didn't realize you were married." Xu Qiaomu looked her up and down.

After listening to Luo Shu's insights on design, she couldn't help but have a better impression of Luo Shu.

Luo Shu's design skills and expertise were far beyond her reach.
