Chapter 694 I Want to Empty Myself
"Nothing... nothing." Su Xiao finally held back and didn't tell the truth.
She felt that even if she told her that it was Yun Che who had forcibly taken possession of her last night, completely disregarding her wishes and objections, her mother might not believe it, and might even advise her not to get upset, asking her to understand and tolerate Yun Che.
After all, her mother has always been like this. Whenever she and Yun Che have any conflicts or small disagreements, her mother always blames her. And these days, she has been teaching and advising her all the time to forgive Yun Che and not to bother with him.
She was clearly their daughter, but they acted like they cared more about Yun Che, as if Yun Che was their son and more important than her!
"Hui'er?" Lan Qiuling was smart after all, and she could vaguely see that something was wrong with Su Xiao.
"Mom, I'm a little tired and want to be alone. Can you please go out first?" Su Xiao said trying her best to pretend to be calm.
Although Lan Qiuling didn't like this, she loved her daughter in the end. Thinking that her daughter might be really tired after what happened last night, she didn't care. She told Su Xiao not to think too much and to be good to Yun Che, and left first.
Su Xiao's eyes were empty and dull, and her heart was empty as well.
She felt a deep sense of sadness, loneliness and helplessness. She wanted to abandon everything, even her child, and run to a deserted place to empty herself, all memories and past, and let herself die!
Su Xiao sneered, and tears began to flow as she laughed.
Buzz—after an unknown amount of time, the vibration of a cell phone broke the silence.
The phone rang again and again, with no sign of stopping. Su Xiao finally picked up the phone and found that it was Jiang Xueman, so she quickly answered it.
"Xiaoxiao, is it convenient for you to come out now? I have found the boss behind the idea you told me yesterday and am going to talk to him about it." Jiang Xueman's voice was full of excitement.
Yes, this is the life they should have!
She is nothing like her, who lives every day as if she is in prison.
"Xiao, what's wrong? Are you listening to me?" Jiang Xueman didn't get a response from her, so she shouted again.
"Okay, come over whenever you want." Su Xiao replied.
"Right now? Should we just go there, or do you want me to pick you up?"
"No, I'll ask the driver to take me there."
"Okay, see you then!"
After ending the call, Su Xiao finally got out of bed, only to find that her body was more sore than she had imagined, as if she had been run over by a car.
She no longer remembered the scene of last night clearly, or perhaps her subconscious didn't want to remember the pain. In her mind, there was only Yun Che pressing on her and ravaging her continuously, each time more cruelly than the last, as if he wanted to tear her into pieces, completely ignoring her struggles and even pleas.
This is the memory he left her!
A memory like a nightmare!
Su Xiao was lying in the bathtub, this scene kept flashing in her mind, as if a rope was tightly strangling her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
ah!
She roared in grief and anger, slapping the water in the bathtub uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face.
By the time she finished getting ready, it was already eleven o'clock. Lan Qiuling had prepared breakfast for her and even made some nourishing soup for her. Su Xiao ate silently and said to her mother, "I have to go out for a while."
Lan Qiuling was slightly surprised. "You're going out? Where are you going? To find Gao Chengze? Hui'er, actually..."
"No, it was Manman who came to me." Su Xiao interrupted, with a hint of annoyance in her tone.
Lan Qiuling shuddered after hearing this, then said nonchalantly, "Okay then. Be careful."
"Yeah." Su Xiao left home without further delay.
She didn't notice that Lan Qiuling looked at the direction she disappeared in for a long time, with a worried look on her face.
Su Xiao went directly to Junnanfang to meet Jiang Xueman.
It turned out that Guan Jue, the person in charge of Junnanfang, and Jiang Xueman were cousins separated by several generations. Such relatives were actually very distant and usually had no contact with each other, but in order to buy this club, Jiang Xueman dug up hundreds of years of relatives.
The key point is that Jiang Xueman saved Guan Jue's life at a relative's wedding that year. At that time, Guan Jue was only three years old. He was playful and accidentally fell into the pond. Jiang Xueman, who was only one year older than Guan Jue, jumped in without hesitation and caught the little guy.
When talking about this past, Guan had no recollection of it at all. He had only heard about it from his elders. So when Jiang Xueman brought up this past event, he was naturally very grateful. He saw Xueman calling her "Sister Manman" all the time.
"You were just a little kid back then, but you've grown up so quickly. If I had hesitated a bit, you wouldn't be standing in front of me now." Jiang Xueman sighed with ulterior motives.
Guan was filled with gratitude and smiled, "Yes, yes, it's all thanks to you, sister, that I am where I am today. My mother always told me to remember you."
hehe!
Remember me, remember that I haven’t seen you come to see me for so many years?
Jiang Xueman secretly laughed in her heart, but did not pursue the matter. She began to introduce Su Xiao beside her, "This is my good sister. She will be your real sister in the future. Call me Sister Su!"
"Hello, Sister Su!" Guan immediately called out sweetly.
"Hello." Su Xiao responded politely.
"By the way, sisters, is this your first time here? I'll take you to see a show." Guan Jue said again, "I'll have someone arrange the best seats for you."
"No need, I've seen it a long time ago. I came to you today to discuss a cooperation with you." Jiang Xueman stopped Guan Jue and told him not to make trouble.
Guan was stunned. "Cooperation? Sister Manman, you want to cooperate with me, but you also know what my reputation is like in the family."
"That's because they don't recognize Mount Tai! To me, you're just a piece of rough jade that needs to be carved and polished. Look, you're starting to shine now."
Guan was excited and happy to be praised like this, and he liked this cousin who was several levels away from him more and more.
Jiang Xueman didn't waste any time and got straight to the point, stating her purpose.
Guan Jue's smile froze immediately after hearing this, and he looked at Jiang Xueman in shock, "Sister, you said you want to buy my place? You run it yourself, but there are only men here..."
"So what if I'm a man? Who says women can't control men?"
"But..." In the final analysis, Guan just didn't want to.
After all, this is my first business, and it is doing so well, so I am willing to sell it just like that.
"Your original intention is good, but we have better ideas and concepts that will definitely take this industry to the next level. We're not completely excluding you now. We're just investing in you. You'll continue to be the founder, but the management method will be determined by us. You just wait for your share of the profits."
"Sister, can you tell me how you plan to expand? By the way, let me make it clear that we don't touch anything illegal." Guan Jubian also asked.
