Su Li did not return home all night, and Quan Ye did not send anyone to look for her.
In the past, she had to report to him wherever she went and could never leave his side without permission.
But now that he has Song Wan, he doesn't seem to control her as much anymore.
Su Li didn't know whether to be happy or relieved.
She woke up early in the morning, washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
"Ding-dong—"
A message popped up on my phone, which was on the table. It was from Shen Linfeng.
I'm having dinner with some friends tonight, why don't you come along?
He also sent me the address.
Su Li wanted to refuse, but his next words shut her up.
Last night I transferred 500,000 yuan to your uncle and aunt. They said they were a little short on cash lately. We're all family, so I helped them out. It's just for one meal. You don't want to eat with me, do you?
This was a threat to her; her aunt and uncle had taken the money, so she had to go to the appointment.
Su Li gripped her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in her heart.
"La la la la la—"
Huang Yumei, dressed in a red floral dress and heavily made up, came down from upstairs humming a song.
Her two children followed behind her, equally well-dressed, looking like they were about to go on a trip.
Seeing Su Li standing in the living room, Huang Yumei said with her pinky finger raised, "Your younger brother and sister are preparing for their entrance exams. I'm taking them out shopping. Make yourself breakfast and get back to work right away. Don't linger here."
"Where did you get the money to go shopping? Didn't you say you had no money last night?" Su Li put down her phone, picked up her water glass, and took a sip.
Huang Yumei looked guilty and gave an awkward laugh, "You don't need to know where I got the money, it's not yours anyway."
She turned to her two children and called out, "Sweethearts, let's go! We'll take you out for a day of fun, and then we'll have a big meal for you tonight, okay?"
"good!"
"Wait a moment."
Su Li put down her water glass and walked over slowly in her flip-flops.
Huang Yumei's two children instinctively stepped back, somewhat afraid of her.
Huang Yumei said impatiently, "Can you just say what you have to say all at once? Our time is precious and can't be wasted. Your younger brother and sister rarely get to go out and play, so don't spoil their fun."
"I'll treat you to a big meal tonight. I'll send you the address later. Be there on time at 7:30."
"You're treating?" Huang Yumei's eyes lit up, and her greedy face was immediately revealed.
"Are you sure you're treating? You're not going to rip me off, are you?"
Su Li smoothed out the wrinkles on her dress shoulders and smiled, "We're family, why would I trick you? Auntie, dress up nicely tonight, come over with your uncle and your younger siblings, and you can have whatever you want to eat."
"Alright, humph, I'll admit you've finally seen the light. I'll definitely be there on time tonight."
Huang Yumei happily took her two children out.
Enjoy yourselves tonight.
Su Li smiled slightly and turned to go upstairs in a cheerful mood.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I sensed that something was off.
Su Li arrived at her workstation as usual and saw several assistants going in and out of the meeting room, discussing:
"That Mr. Bart seems pretty intimidating, but he's nothing compared to Mr. John. Did you see that? He just dared to boast to Master Quan that he would take over the Quan Group in the future. Who gave him the guts?"
"I heard that Mr. John's nephew is involved in organized crime and is not to be trifled with. He recently joined John's company to clean up his act."
"He's so arrogant, he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later."
"Who knows about this thing?"
The assistants walked away.
When Xu Ming came out and saw Su Li, he said, "Secretary Su, why are you so late? We have guests at the company today."
