Yi An was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Didn't you say it wasn't suitable for children? Why are you staring at me like that!"
Su Xiaoyu slowly lowered her hand from Yi Kangle's eyes and casually replied, "Didn't you say you were just helping my mother fasten her seatbelt?"
Yi An choked up, as if she had been caught red-handed by a fox's tail that it hadn't had time to hide.
He cleared his throat, turned around, and looked back at the spot where Mr. Wu had been standing; it was now empty.
He started the car with satisfaction and drove home.
After Yi An drove the car into the underground parking lot, Su Yan remembered something else.
She stopped Yi An, who was about to get off the bus, and took out five tickets from her bag and handed them to him.
"The finals are this weekend, and they're open to the public. Here are your tickets and the kids' tickets too. You should also invite Zhao Bo; it's kind of pitiful for him to be single on the weekend."
Yi An nodded in complete agreement, clutching the remaining ticket in her hand, and asked in confusion, "What about this ticket?"
Su Yan paused, then said earnestly, "This one is for your mother. Take this opportunity to reconcile with her. Mother and son shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Besides, in that incident, we were only thinking about our own pleasure and didn't consider her feelings."
Yi An paused for a moment upon hearing this, then silently put the ticket away carefully.
Su Yan smiled as she watched his actions, then turned and opened the car door to help Su Xiaoyu and Yi Kangle out of the back seat.
After she took both children down from the car, she found that Yi An was still sitting in the car.
Why aren't you coming down?
Yi An explained simply, "You guys go back first. I have something to take care of, and I'll go back in a bit."
Su Yan understood immediately, slung her bag over her shoulder, and turned to leave.
As Yi An watched her retreating figure, a sudden thought struck her, and she called out to her again.
"Su Yan."
"ah?"
"Hmm... does that mean you can do whatever you want when the kids aren't here?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was exactly what she had just said!
She raised her bag and threw it at him.
"How can there be such a despicable person as you in this world!"
Su Yan quickly stepped forward, pulled her bag back, and turned to leave. She was afraid that if she was even a step too slow, Yi An would see the panic on her face.
Although Yi'an felt a little wronged by the scolding, the corners of her mouth involuntarily curved up when she saw her fleeing footsteps.
When Meng Jie returned home exhausted, the house was empty. Yi Ruihua and He Yunxin had gone off to have fun somewhere again, and it was none of her business.
She casually instructed Wu Fen, who came out to greet her, "Make a cup of hot tea and take it to the study."
When Wu Fen finished making the soup and brought it to the study, she saw Wu Fen busy with documents in her hands, her face full of exhaustion.
Wu Fen placed the hot tea beside her and said with concern, "Madam, the company has already grown so big, please don't put any more pressure on yourself, okay?"
Meng Jie put down the documents in her hand and rubbed the bridge of her nose vigorously.
"If I'm not busy, who will help me? There's no one who can be easy to deal with."
Wu Fen remained silent for a while, then took out the ticket that Yi An had left behind.
"Madam, it's not impossible if you allow it."
Meng Jie looked at the ticket handed to her and asked, "What's this?"
Wu Fen answered truthfully: "I heard it's a ticket to the finals of Miss Su's design competition, this weekend."
Meng Jie neither answered nor spoke.
Just when Wu Fen thought she wouldn't speak and was about to try to persuade her,
Meng Jie suddenly spoke again: "You can leave now."
"ah?"
Wu Fen paused for a moment, then sighed, silently placed the ticket on the table, and walked out of the office.
Meng Jie leaned back in her chair, staring at the tickets on the table for a long time before slowly raising her hand to pick up her phone and dial her secretary's number.
"What was the date of your business trip again?"
Upon hearing the answer, Meng Jie nodded knowingly.
"Change it to this weekend."
The secretary on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Mr. Meng, didn't you say you wanted to rest this weekend?"
Meng Jie retorted coldly, "Do you think I can take a break given the company's current state? Don't you know how much our performance has dropped this month?"
The secretary immediately realized she had misspoke and said in a flustered manner, "Mr. Meng, I understand, I'll arrange it for you right away."
"Alright, that's all, hang up now."
Hearing that Meng Jie was about to hang up, the secretary hurriedly said, "Ms. Meng, do we still need to handle Miss Su's matter?"
Meng Jie lowered her eyelashes, concealing the turbulent emotions surging in her eyes.
"It's none of your business."
She said this emotionlessly and hung up the phone quickly.
The same final ticket also appeared in front of He Zimo.
He Ziming glanced at her twice, then turned his gaze to Lin Hui's face across from him.
"Are you sure you can win? If you can't, I can't let you lose face and waste my time."
Lin Hui was somewhat displeased with his words, but she still tried to put on a smile.
"When you ask this, do you hope I win, or are you afraid I will win? Are you afraid that if I win, it will hurt your Su Yan?"
He Ziming sneered twice, "Don't make wild guesses about my thoughts. I'm not as despicable as you think."
Lin Hui: "Then it's alright. Now that we've become partners, you should trust me."
When she thought of Su Yan, a mocking smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"With Su Yan's mediocre skills, if she hadn't relied on President Wu's connections and his behind-the-scenes manipulation, how could she have made it to the finals?"
"President Wu?" He Ziming's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
Lin Hui burst out laughing when she saw his expression.
She added fuel to the fire: "You don't know yet, do you? Su Yan and President Wu are also entangled. It's all over the contestants. They say that Su Yan got to where she is today by satisfying President Wu."
Before he could finish speaking, He Ziming slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang.
Lin Hui was extremely satisfied with his anger, and she pushed the tickets towards He Ziming again.
"So, you'll definitely come, right? Just wait and see how I trample Su Yan under my feet."
He Ziming grabbed the ticket decisively and stood up abruptly.
"You'd better keep your word and not let me down."
Lin Hui shrugged and waved her hand without turning her head.
"If I can't even handle trash like Su Yan, that would be truly ridiculous!"
The finals took place as scheduled over the weekend.
Because the series of events had already generated a lot of buzz online, everyone rushed over excitedly as soon as they heard about the public finals. Before the competition even started, the audience seats were already packed.
Zhao Bo looked at the crowded scene around him in amazement, "My God, so many people are here to watch the final!"
Yi An had no time for such thoughts; she kept turning her head to look towards the door. Apart from a few people going out to use the restroom, she couldn't see any other figures.
