Chapter 775: The Attack Begins
At this time, Su Xiao had just coaxed the children to sleep and taken a bath. When she heard Xiao Nishang say that Huan'er had resigned, she was shocked and speechless for a long time.
"I asked her why she resigned, but she kept avoiding the question and I didn't want to refuse her. Su Xiao, please forgive me for telling you now. I originally wanted to wait a few days, but I was always uneasy, so I came to you so late." Xiao Nishang continued.
Su Xiao finally spoke up, "Sister Nishang, don't blame yourself. She didn't want me to know in the first place. Oh, and she said she wouldn't leave this city?"
"Well, she said not in the short term. Well, actually, she looked quite pitiful at that time. Fate plays tricks on her."
Yes, fate plays tricks on us.
Su Xiao didn't know what to say, she just felt extremely upset. After a while, she said goodbye to Xiao Nishang, "Thank you for telling me this. I'll look for her again in a few days."
"Okay, wait a few days until she's calmed down, maybe she'll come looking for you."
"I hope so."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao was still feeling very depressed. Yun Che walked over and saw her like this, and couldn't help but asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Su Xiao looked at him and told him the situation. Then, she sighed sadly, "My brother's meeting with her that day may have deeply hurt her, but I didn't expect her to resign so soon. She also said she wouldn't go to another city, which means she wouldn't listen to my brother's arrangements. If that's the case, why would she resign? Her financial situation is not good, and she can at least make a living with a job..."
Su Xiao cried.
Yun Che gently wiped away her tears.
After a while, Su Xiao continued, "Do you think I should tell my brother about this? At least, let my brother give her some money."
"Don't do that," Yun Che said, looking at her seriously. "Girl, since your brother can make this arrangement and choice, it means he will never contact her again. If your brother tries to contact her again, or gives her any money, wouldn't that just be lingering on? Perhaps she's been waiting for this moment."
"You mean Huan'er deliberately resigned to arouse my brother's sympathy?"
"I'm not sure. I just think your brother shouldn't be involved in this matter anymore. Since it's over, it's best for your brother not to meet with her again. As for you, you can meet her and give her financial help."
Su Xiao pondered for a moment, then felt that it made sense. She then said, "But she didn't even tell me she was resigning. A day has passed, and she still hasn't contacted me. This means she probably doesn't want to see me again."
"Well, you don't need to look for her specifically for now. Wait a few days and let her calm down."
"That's all we can do."
"Come, let's rest." Yun Che pulled her back to the bed.
Su Xiao lay in his arms, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was full of what happened tonight. Yun Che knew that he couldn't get her to stop paying attention to him for a while, so he didn't say much, just stayed with her quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Su Xiao finally fell asleep.
Su Xiaoyuan thought of looking for Huan'er in a few days, but sometimes things are so strange that she saw Huan'er the next night!
There is a large-scale banquet tonight, the theme of which is caring for women. Lan Qiuling, as a representative of the circle, was invited to attend, and she also took Su Xiao to see it.
But they didn't expect Liu Zhiqing to be there too!
Liu Zhiqing is also a well-known figure in this circle. She and Lan Qiuling represent the government and the business community respectively. It is inevitable that they have some contact with each other. But since the last incident, everyone has been more cautious and try not to invite Lan Qiuling and Liu Zhiqing together. Who knew that the person in charge of the organizer of this event happened to be newly appointed, and with Liu Zhiqing's intention to show up, this situation was also brought about.
Originally, Liu Zhiqing's appearance had already made Lan Qiuling and Su Xiao uncomfortable, but when Su Xiao saw the familiar figure following Liu Zhiqing, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Isn’t that Huan’er?
How come Huan'er is with Liu Zhiqing?
Su Xiao has a lot of contact with Huan'er. Although Huan'er has become different from usual tonight because of makeup, she is still sure that the radiant woman in front of her is Huan'er!
Lan Qiuling also felt that Huan'er was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember her name for a moment, and her reaction was not as big as Su Xiao's. Her mind was on Liu Zhiqing, and she was puzzled and angry about why Liu Zhiqing showed up, so she pulled Su Xiao to find the person in charge.
Only then did the person in charge realize what a mess he had made and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Madam Zhao, I didn't know you had a feud with Miss Liu. She was the one who said she wanted to attend tonight's event, and seeing how enthusiastic she was, I couldn't turn her down. I'm really sorry."
Lan Qiuling was so angry that her face turned green, but as she looked at the woman in front of her who was trembling and apologizing to her continuously, she gradually calmed down.
Yes, if someone were to take a picture of such a scene and make a fuss about it, it would be me who would be embarrassed.
Next, the event started and everything went on as usual.
Su Xiao didn't dare tell her mother that the woman following Liu Zhiqing was Huan'er, Ling Qianyu, whom her brother could never let go of, because she couldn't imagine what kind of storm would arise!
So she could only worry in her heart, and she still couldn't understand why Huan'er was with Liu Zhiqing. Although their attitude was not particularly intimate, it was obvious that they had a close relationship.
Why didn't Huan'er ever tell her that she knew Liu Zhiqing?
Also, what does it mean that he suddenly accompanied Liu Zhiqing to attend the event tonight?
Huan'er quit her job at the clinic and then attended the event with Liu Zhiqing. Su Xiao always felt that something was strange, as if something was approaching her and heading towards their home.
"What's wrong with you? You seemed absent-minded the whole night?" Lan Qiuling asked Su Xiao with a frown.
Although she felt uncomfortable and annoyed by Liu Zhiqing's appearance at first, she had experienced many storms after all, and she soon calmed down. She dealt with tonight's activities leisurely as usual, and was still the eye-catching, enviable and powerful official wife.
Therefore, she was unhappy to see Su Xiao like this, but she remembered that she had decided not to scold her daughter at every turn, so she did not act too harshly.
Su Xiao looked at her mother, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she could only pretend to be calm and said, "No, I just feel a little uncomfortable."
"You'll be exposed to many such scenes in the future. I brought you out today so that you can get used to it slowly."
"Yeah, I know, don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing this, Lan Qiuling didn't say much. She was a representative figure in this circle, so naturally there were many people who wanted to curry favor with her. She had no time to spare and was soon called away by several rich ladies.
Su Xiao was alone and quiet for a while, and continued to follow Liu Zhiqing and Huan'er. She found that Liu Zhiqing was alone at the moment, and Huan'er was not there. Did she go to the bathroom?
Thinking of this, Su Xiao hurriedly left the venue and ran towards the bathroom.
