"Then you can come with me," Su Ziqing said coldly.
But Su Xiaoman hesitated.
The child is Su Xiaoman's bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that Su Ziqing doesn't understand.
After the incident at the department store, Su Xiaoman's life hasn't been peaceful. The wife came knocking on her door, and she almost got caught!
She hesitated for only a few seconds before following Su Ziqing, leaving the office window curtains wide open.
Su Ziqing looked at her and almost laughed, "What are you doing?"
If you're afraid of dying, then don't come in.
Su Xiaoman sat down on the guest sofa, looked at Su Ziqing, and sneered, "Su Ziqing, do you think I'll be afraid just because you called the original wife over?"
What the heck?
Su Ziqing didn't understand what Su Xiaoman meant at all. The original wife?
Is she talking about the person behind her?
Su Ziqing has been very busy lately and hasn't had time to pay attention to her, okay?
However, Su Ziqing wisely kept quiet, knowing that Su Xiaoman would inevitably continue speaking on her own.
Sure enough, without her saying anything, Su Xiaoman continued speaking.
She stroked her belly with a smug look, "This child, but..." She paused, and of course, didn't say the name in the end, but it was clear that she was referring to the child's father.
"A boy I really want."
Su Ziqing sneered, "Su Xiaoman, you, a dignified heiress from a wealthy family, have stooped so low as to make a living by bearing boys?"
Su Xiaoman's face turned pale instantly. She looked at Su Ziqing and said, "Su Ziqing, let me tell you, if you cause my child to die, you will be executed."
Su Ziqing sneered, "If you want to go crazy, go back to your own territory. This isn't your territory now."
She had no interest in harming a pregnant woman or a child.
After making her harsh remarks, Su Xiaoman was naturally going to leave. She stood up and gave Su Ziqing a disdainful look. "Enjoy your last days in power, because I'd love to see you ousted by everyone."
Their eyes met, and Su Ziqing smiled instead of getting angry, "Then you're probably going to be disappointed."
“Without a powerful backer, you’ll find that nothing is easy.” Su Xiaoman gently blew on her nails. “Why do you think the company’s loan came through so quickly?”
loan?
Su Ziqing frowned slightly. This part had been going smoothly, and it wasn't her responsibility; naturally, her subordinates handled the negotiations.
However, it is perfectly normal for a company to seek financing and loans.
Moreover, the Su family is a well-known enterprise in City A, and banks are practically begging them to lend them money.
The company's performance is good, the financial statements are perfect, there are no bad debts, and loan issues are minor problems.
But Su Xiaoman's mention of loans made Su Ziqing's heart skip a beat.
Su Xiaoman looked at her defiantly, "Because I don't want the company to run into problems."
"Oh? So it's all your doing?"
“No, what I mean is, I can make sure the Su family can’t get any loans in the entire City A at any time. Tell me, how long can the company survive on its own cash flow?” Su Xiaoman smiled smugly.
Su Ziqing's heart sank.
"It seems you've found a very powerful backer."
Su Xiaoman looked at her, "You know very well."
"I don't know." Su Ziqing tapped lightly on the desk. "I'm busy and have no interest in your personal matters."
"As for what you just mentioned about the original wife, I have no interest in even knowing who your backer is. Do you think I'd be so bored as to go looking for some original wife?" Su Ziqing thought Su Xiaoman was being idiotic again.
However, Su Xiaoman did not believe her.
Her only enemy is Su Ziqing!
Who else could it be but her?
Even if she didn't do it herself, it must have been because of her. In any case, it's right to pin the blame on Su Ziqing!
Su Xiaoman felt that her priority now was to protect her pregnancy. Once she gave birth to a son, her position would be secure, and she would have everything she wanted.
Su Ziqing could be easily beaten by her.
Yes, people who are passionate about fantasy are never willing to wake up from their dreams.
As for the idea that a wealthy heiress becomes the mistress of a high-ranking older man and even takes pride in being pregnant with a boy, is that an insult to her status? Su Xiaoman did not have such thoughts.
In her quest to win, her thinking has become somewhat distorted.
Su Ziqing could tell from Su Xiaoman's silence that she didn't believe it, but who cared whether she believed it or not?
Believe it or not.
It's impossible for her and Su Xiaoman to reconcile.
She pressed the intercom and let her secretary in.
Su Xiaoman scoffed, "I hope you won't ruin the company before I take over Su's."
Then, she turned and left.
Su Ziqing: "..." Seeing Su Xiaoman like this, she suddenly wondered which powerful backer Su Xiaoman had found.
……………………
In City A, Su Ziqing was immersed in her work, and time flew by. Five working days were simply not enough for her, and she even had to use her weekends.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
City A has entered the hot summer, and even the wind carries a fiery heat. You feel sweaty after just one minute outside.
Su Ziqing arrived at the coffee shop where she was supposed to meet Lu Linghong. Wearing large sunglasses on her nose, she didn't even want to approach Lu Linghong, who was sitting under a parasol.
On such a hot day, why doesn't he sit inside an air-conditioned room instead of being baked by the hot steam?
During this month, Su Ziqing only contacted Lu Linghong by phone, and even then, the number of times they contacted each other was very few.
She was afraid that one day she might accidentally bring Lu Linghong down with her again...
But Lu Linghong contacted her today to discuss something important.
Since she was unwilling to talk on the phone, Su Ziqing had no choice but to come to the appointment at this time.
She casually placed her handbag on the table, then looked at Lu Linghong and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Lu Linghong looked at her and said, "You're all better now."
"That's good." She called the waiter and ordered chilled orange juice.
Lu Linghong didn't mention her deliberate avoidance of meeting him.
"It's so hot, can't we come inside and sit down?" Su Ziqing had been spending almost all her time in the office lately, busy with work.
Lu Linghong crossed his arms, his elbows resting on the edge of the chair, and looked at Su Ziqing, showing no intention of moving.
Well, she could only stay still, raising her hand to check the time. "I only have half an hour of free time."
"So busy?" Lu Linghong chuckled.
"Um."
"Are you really busy, or do you just not want to see me?" Although he had told her many times that the last accident had nothing to do with her, she still blamed everything on him.
I've made it clear on the phone many times that we should try to avoid meeting each other for the next year or two.
"Senior brother, I'm doing this for your own good." Su Ziqing said helplessly.
Lu Linghong didn't want to say anything more about this issue, so he took out his phone and handed it to Su Ziqing.
"A message from Senior Brother Feng."
