Chapter 275 Will You Marry Her?
The news of Su Ting's death came that afternoon.
I heard she drowned. There were no security cameras around where she drowned, and it rained heavily that night, washing the whole city clean overnight. In the end, the police could only determine that she accidentally fell into the water.
No one cared about her death.
Except for the early morning hours.
However, he had been rejected by Su Ting multiple times, and his concern was only evident when he heard the news; he was momentarily stunned, and then his expression remained unchanged.
More than a week later, Luo Shu and Gan Chang'an were both discharged from the hospital.
Gan Chang'an noticed some changes in his body, and with the doctor's diagnosis that there was nothing wrong with his health, everyone was happy for him.
That evening, they had dinner at Yu Zhan's villa.
People from both the Luo and Yu families came, and they also invited many friends over, treating it as a housewarming party.
Jin Zhinan, Yuan Chenxi, Wei Junning, and Wei Qianqian also came.
Gong Qingzui was nowhere to be seen; Jin Zhinan told him that he had been busy for some time.
I originally wanted to ask Jin Zhinan about her situation, but seeing how radiant her face looked, I knew that Gong Qingzui was actually quite good to her.
Shen Yan and Yu Yu haven't returned yet; they're already out having so much fun that they've almost forgotten they have jobs.
Gao Shan and Ling Chen arrived last.
He was transferred to the headquarters of Yucheng Group as general manager in the early hours of the morning. He has been working with Gao Shan recently. There are probably some things to do tonight, so the two of them came together.
The early morning hours were not easy. Xu Qiaomu ran away, but the way the two held hands on the night of the car accident, and the fact that she was wearing clothes for the early morning, were photographed by someone with ulterior motives and posted online.
Ling Chen's identity as the mayor's son was thus exposed, and Mayor Ling, in order to save face, publicly revealed that Ling Chen and Xu Qiaomu were engaged.
I was out of town in the early hours of the morning, and by the time I got back, the public opinion had already escalated to an irreversible point.
I couldn't reach Xu Qiaomu until the early hours of the morning. I heard she went abroad on a business trip.
He could only acquiesce to the matter for the time being and suppress the controversy.
Everyone arrived, and they sat in the courtyard enjoying a candlelight dinner. Tonight was going to be a feast.
Warm-toned ambient lights hung around the courtyard, the maids were busy at work, and the men and women naturally separated and gathered to chat.
With both Grandpa Yu and Yu Zheng present, Yu Zhan took the opportunity to bring Gao Shan and Ling Chen to the study, where they stayed for two hours.
At the end, they lingered for a moment in the early morning. Yu Zhan seemed to notice something and asked Gao Shan to go downstairs first.
"What's the matter?" Yu Zhan raised his chin, gesturing for him to sit down.
"It's a personal matter," he said as he sat down in the early hours of the morning.
Lingchen knew about Yu Zhan and Su Ting's relationship, but Su Ting's feelings for Yu Zhan were one-sided, so Lingchen had no other opinions about Yu Zhan, nor did she have the right to offer any advice.
Furthermore, Yu Zhan is indeed a rare talent, and he only admires Yu Zhan.
Even knowing that he was the mayor's son, Yu Zhan never gave him any face at work.
Ling Chen was also grateful to him, at least he didn't treat him like the mayor's son and fawn over him like others did.
"Go on," Yu Zhan said, glancing at the document in his hand before closing it.
"Mr. Yu, I would like to ask your wife if she has any news about Xu Qiaomu. I want to find her."
Yu Zhan nodded, probably having seen the recent news and understanding why he wanted to find Xu Qiaomu.
He smiled and said, "You can go down and find her. I'm not that petty."
"Mr. Yu, that's not what I meant."
“What I mean is, there are some things you can just tell my wife in person,” Yu Zhan said with a smile.
He's busy.
Ling Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Yu."
"Wait a minute," Yu Zhan called out to him.
"Mr. Yu, is there anything else?"
"You'll need to follow up on the collaboration with Mr. Steven in a while. Basically, all the necessary procedures have been completed. You just need to go and check on the progress."
After a while, Luo Shu will probably be in the later stages of her life, and he won't have time to go over to her. He also doesn't want to go out anymore, so he tells Li Hai to postpone most of his work if possible.
“Okay.” Ling Chen naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Yu Zhan knew that Xu Qiaomu and Luo Shu were in contact, after all, they were designing clothes for Madam Ling together, and their contact was not infrequent. He had also heard some things about Xu Qiaomu from Luo Shu, and it was probably not as simple as Ling Chen thought.
They probably didn't know why Xu Qiaomu had hidden away in the early hours of the morning.
I went downstairs in the early morning.
He felt awkward going directly to Luo Shu; the area was full of women, and if he went there rashly, people might gossip about him.
However, Yu Zhan made a call to Luo Shu for him. Luo Shu answered the call and went back to the living room, just in time to go downstairs in the early morning.
"Manager Ling." Luo Shu sat down on the sofa in the living room.
She knew more or less about Xu Qiaomu and his affair, but Xu Qiaomu asked her to keep it a secret, so Luo Shu didn't say anything to anyone.
The maid brought a plate of fruit and placed it in front of her.
"Mrs. Yu," Ling Chen greeted her and sat down opposite her.
"You were looking for me?"
"Um."
He hummed in response in the early hours of the morning, finding it somewhat difficult to speak.
Luo Shu spoke first, "Qiao Mu probably won't be coming back. The clothes she made for Madam Ling will be sent to my studio later."
"I want to find her." (Early morning)
What do you want with her?
"..." What do you want with her?
How to resolve the current public opinion situation?
If that's the case, wouldn't it be a bit far-fetched?
“She’s not coming back; she’s decided to develop her career abroad,” Luo Shu asked. “Would you marry her?”
"..." Probably not.
“She’s a girl, and she has her pride too. If you bring her back just to quell the current public opinion, to save Mayor Ling’s face, and to clear up this controversy for you, what does she get in return?”
They earned the infamy of currying favor with the powerful and wealthy.
Luo Shu looked at the early morning.
Ling Chen was much older than her, so he naturally thought of these things as well.
"Do you know what kind of person her father is?" Luo Shu felt sorry for Xu Qiaomu. "For the sake of his business, her father sent Qiaomu's mother to another man's bed. Now he wants to give his daughter to you as a stepping stone for his career. In her eyes, neither of you are good people. How could she possibly care about you?"
After a moment of silence in the early morning, he said, "She's a good girl."
These things shouldn't have happened to her; she didn't do anything wrong.
It was his mistake to hold her hand that day...
His attitude was indeed not good, and his words were rather harsh.
Xu Qiaomu usually seemed carefree, but when she heard in the early morning that her father had sold her to her, she cried and cried by the window.
Xu Qiaomu has always been a dutiful daughter in front of her father, but she never wants to be treated like a tool like her mother.
Unexpectedly, Xu's father was a heartless businessman, and the same thing that happened years ago was repeated on her.
"Or do you want to bring her back and marry her?" Luo Shu added, "Even if you say you want to marry her, she might not come back."
Yes, how could Xu Qiaomu possibly come back?
Xu Qiaomu already knew that Ling Chen had someone in his heart; the day she left Ling Chen's home, she ran away overnight.
I found out in the early hours of the morning.
He simply hadn't expected Xu's father to be that kind of person, which is why Xu Qiaomu was so resistant.
Xu Qiaomu knew that no one loved her and would even hurt her. If she didn't run away, would they think she was stupid?
