Chapter 1114 The Days Are Always Restless
Su Xiao followed her mother around, observing how she treated people and got to know some of them. Then she started chatting with Mrs. Xiao, the second-in-command of City C.
Mrs. Xiao was very kind and could not wait to praise Su Xiao, "I have heard of Mrs. Yun's name for a long time. She is indeed noble and beautiful. She is even more beautiful in person than I imagined!"
"If you don't mind, just call me by my name." The other person was about fifty years old, much older than Su Xiao, so Su Xiao said the same thing.
"Okay, okay, I won't be polite then. From now on, just call me sister!"
"Yes, Sister Xiuhong!" Su Xiao said gently again.
Mrs. Xiao laughed out loud a few times. She was really cheerful, which made Su Xiao feel relieved. At least in the future, they wouldn't have to worry too much when getting along with each other.
Because she had other social engagements and wanted to meet other friends, Mrs. Xiao chatted with Su Xiao for a while and then prepared to get busy.
"Sister, when you get to City C, I'll take you to eat delicious food. Remember to tell me as soon as you arrive there, and I'll make arrangements right away." Mrs. Xiao said cheerfully again.
Su Xiao also responded with a smile, "Yes, of course. I've heard that the streets of City C are full of special delicacies. I'm really craving them, so I'm waiting for my sister to take me to taste them!"
"Of course. Let's talk later!"
"Okay, go ahead, sister."
Mrs. Xiao walked away. Su Xiao saw her mother chatting with some people of her age, so she planned to find a place to sit quietly. Unexpectedly, she heard someone leading the charge to slander her.
That was Director He’s wife, Zhu Lin, who was also Lin Ran’s cousin. They had met once before and had some unpleasantness.
I didn’t expect this woman to be acting up again today!
"Haha, she's pure and innocent? That's just an act. She's more capable than any of us women. Otherwise, how could she have bewitched Yun Che so much that she even sent his ex-wife, with whom he had been in love for so many years, to prison? Now he doesn't even want to acknowledge his son with his ex-wife."
"I know that ex-wife. I heard she's her cousin!"
"No way, isn't Zhao Jiaying from the Zhao family? But her last name is Su!"
"She is actually Minister Zhao's daughter who has been missing for many years. Otherwise, why would Mrs. Zhao often bring her to banquets?"
"That's really... too scary. He even plotted against my own cousin."
"And Mrs. He's cousin Lin Ran was also a pitiful victim, and was eventually driven insane. Mrs. He, what exactly is going on? Is your cousin really asking for trouble, or is there something else going on?"
Zhu Lin crossed her arms and continued to snort coldly, "What do you think? You all know what kind of girl I am, Ranran. She never even let a boy touch her hand since she was a child. If someone hadn't used special means to bewitch her, how could a little girl like her understand these things?"
"That's Yun Che's romantic debt. I heard the child was forcibly aborted. How pitiful! It's true that no one who messes with her will have a good ending."
"Just wait and see. She's not that old now, but in ten years when she's old and ugly, will Yun Che still care about her?" Zhu Lin snorted again.
"I also think it's inevitable that men won't cheat. Yun Che is so handsome, he definitely won't be loyal to one woman. He's just trying to accommodate and give in because of the Zhao family's influence and wants to use it to support his career. Once he reaches a certain level in the future, even higher than Minister Zhao, it's no wonder he still puts up with it!"
"So let's just wait and see what happens!"
Su Xiao was so angry that she was shaking all over after listening to these rumors. She couldn't help but walk over.
When everyone saw her, their faces changed drastically. They wondered when she came and whether she had heard what they said. Some of the timid ones couldn't help but feel scared.
Su Xiao looked around at the women with a cold expression, and finally her gaze landed on Zhu Lin. She said meaningfully, "Mrs. He, I have a question for you. What do you think of a woman named Mu Qing? Oh, yes, that famous star, Mu Qing?"
When Mrs. He heard Su Xiao suddenly bring up this name, her face turned green. Everyone in this circle knew that her husband was supporting a celebrity outside, and that celebrity was Mu Qing!
Su Xiao asked her this on purpose, clearly wanting to fight back against her!
Seeing Su Xiao's malicious expression, Zhu Lin immediately shouted in anger, "What do you mean by asking that?"
"It's nothing, I just want to remind you to mind your own business. When you talk about others behind their backs, someone will also talk about you behind your back!"
"Mind your own business? What qualifications do you have to mind your own business?"
"So, what qualifications do you have to talk about me?" Su Xiao asked in a deep voice, her eyes becoming even colder.
"I, I am Ranran's cousin. I feel unfair for her and I feel sorry for her!" Zhu Lin said righteously.
Su Xiao smiled coldly, "Oh, so that's what Mrs. He thinks. It seems you also feel sorry for Mu Qing. Why don't you just divorce Director He and let him marry Mu Qing to give Mu Qing a legitimate status? Anyway, your relationship has long been broken, and he no longer loves you, so he ran out to find another woman. Why force it? Don't you think it's dirty?"
"Su Xiao, you bitch..." Zhu Lin raised her hands in anger.
Unfortunately, before she could let go, Su Xiao quickly grabbed her arm and said bluntly, "Mrs. He, you don't offend others, and others don't offend you. If you have time, you might as well think more about how to win back Director He's heart. You will never win Director He's favor by laughing at others and making sarcastic remarks like this, okay?"
Su Xiao's subtle ridicule was like cursing without using any swear words. Zhu Lin was furious, but she could do nothing about Su Xiao and could only walk away in disappointment.
The other women naturally dispersed as well.
Su Xiao also calmed down from her previous fighting mood. She looked up at the distant and lonely bright moon in the sky, and her heart suddenly felt empty.
A moment later, her cell phone rang.
Lan Qiuling couldn't find her, so she called her.
"I'm going out for a walk in the garden," Su Xiao replied to her mother. "I'll be in right away."
"No need. We've done what we need to do. Let's go home. You don't have to come in. I'll go out and find you." Lan Qiuling said.
"Oh, okay." Su Xiao continued in a sullen tone.
Soon Lan Qiuling came out and left the banquet with Su Xiao.
Because Yun Che was no longer in the imperial capital, Su Xiao simply moved back to her mother's house for the next few days. The mother and daughter both closed their eyes to rest after getting in the car. After arriving home, Su Xiao went back to her own house.
The children were all asleep. She entered the dormitory without even changing her clothes. She leaned on the sofa, as if all her strength had been drained from her.
"How long will this life last? Will it go on like this forever? Do I really have to support him on this path?" Su Xiao's low murmur broke the silent air.
"What do you want to say?" Suddenly, a figure moved at the door and Lan Qiuling walked in.
Su Xiao was slightly stunned, but not panicked. She greeted her mother.
Lan Qiuling sat down beside her, staring at her, and said in a decisive tone, "Since you've decided to accompany him on this journey, you must stick to it. You can sulk and complain, but you can't have any other thoughts, such as not doing anything immature!"
