131: Chapter 131: The Visit 131: Chapter 131: The Visit Su Lu seed to carry on as if nothing had happened,
as if those emotions from before had faded away.
She arrived at the company on ti every morning as usual, still the gentle Mr.
Su in the eyes of her employees.
The only sign of change that others could notice was her dietary habits.
Xu Ning was pretty surprised; she was holding a large cup of black coffee, staring at the soy milk in Su Lu’s hand.
Xu Ning gaped, “What’s with this, Mr.
Su, going healthy?
I’m not used to you changing like this all of a sudden.”
Normally, Su Lu was just like her, a big coffee drinker.
Suddenly switching to sothing so healthy gave Xu Ning the uncanny feeling that everyone else had seen the light, and she was the only one left indulging in bad habits.
Su Lu smiled and said, “I’m getting older; it’s ti to take care of my health.”
While she spoke, she casually knocked a boiled egg against the corner of the table and thodically began peeling the shell.
Startled, Xu Ning hurriedly took a big gulp of her iced Aricano to calm her nerves and then bit into her pancake to soothe her soul.
Xu Ning said, “If I didn’t know you well, I’d think you’re planning for a pregnancy.”
“Cough cough cough!” A sudden bout of coughing ca from the doorway.
Xu Ning’s words were quite blunt.
Qiao Li, standing at the door, choked and patted his chest.
“Brother Qiao’s here?” Xu Ning looked towards him and laughed, “Mr.
Su is starting her day with a health regin; how about you?
Do you want so coffee?”
Only then did Qiao Li notice the coffee in Su Lu’s hand.
“Health regin?”
Su Lu said with a smile, “Yeah, I’ve prepared so for you too.
Do you want it?”
Su Lu then took out another cup of soy milk, “Didn’t you drink last night?
This will be perfect for sobering up.”
“Alright.” Qiao Li happily accepted and even seed quite pleased.
Xu Ning was close with Su Lu, and Qiao Li was brought in by Su Zhe.
Su Lu was easy-going and didn’t mind them having breakfast in her office.
It turned out to be a perfect occasion for a brief morning eting to discuss the day’s work.
“Well, I’ll get to work then, Mr.
Su.
Call if you need anything.” Xu Ning cleaned up her breakfast rubbish and left Su Lu’s office.
But Qiao Li, having finished his breakfast, didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving.
Xu Ning muttered to herself as she left Su Lu’s office, “Is there sothing going on between Mr.
Su and Brother Qiao…
or is it just my imagination?”
Inside the office, Su Lu had finished her breakfast and looked towards Qiao Li, “Is there sothing else you wanted to discuss?”
She assud it was work-related.
However, Qiao Li just smiled, shook his head, and pursed his lips as if making up his mind.
He asked Su Lu, “Lulu, do you have ti today?”
“Hm?
Is there sothing you need?” Su Lu asked.
Qiao Li nodded, “I’d like to invite you out for a al.” He paused, then decided to clarify, “It’s…
a date.”
Su Lu’s expression stalled for a mont, “Just…”
She opened her mouth, emitted a single syllable, and then fell silent, seemingly at a loss for words.
After a while, she sighed lightly.
“It’s just not very convenient,” Su Lu looked into Qiao Li’s eyes.
“Brother Qiao, stop wasting your ti on .
It’s not worth it.”
“I think it’s worth it,” Qiao Li wasn’t discouraged by her rejection, his lips turning up into a small smile.
“And Lulu, don’t put yourself down.
You deserve a lot of good things.”
“I…” Su Lu lowered her gaze.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay,” Qiao Li smiled gently.
“We’ll find another opportunity in the future.
I can’t imagine I’ll never have a chance.”
Su Lu opened her mouth as if she wanted to say sothing more, but Qiao Li didn’t wait for her to speak and cut her off.
“There’s plenty of ti in the future.
Alright, I should get back to work now.”
Su Lu could only nod.
After Qiao Li left, Su Lu zoned out for a mont before sighing softly.
Approaching noon, Su Lu had planned to go for a healthy and nutritious al.
There was a nice Japanese restaurant near the company with fresh and delicious ingredients.
Although she wasn’t supposed to eat raw food now, the cooked dishes there were also very tasty and nutritious.
But before the end of the workday, Xu Ning ca in.
Seeing the aggrieved look on Xu Ning’s face, Su Lu felt sowhat annoyed.
“What’s the matter now?” Su Lu complained with a frown.
“I’m about to finish work.”
Xu Ning replied with a bitter face.
“Aren’t we all?
But trouble always cos just when we’re about to leave.
Su Yukan is here.”
Su Lu was extrely annoyed, really tired of dealing with the Su Family’s people.
She even planned not to bother with them anymore and let Xu Ning deal with it.
However, Xu Ning’s next words ca out, “He brought a young man with him, Mr.
Su, that seems to be your brother.”
Su Lu’s plan to have Xu Ning handle the situation imdiately fell through, and she could only twist her brows in frustration.
“Fine, send them to the lounge, I’ll be right there.”
Su Lu took her ti before finally heading to the lounge, her whole deanor exuding one clear ssage: I’m not pleased, I’m not happy, I’m annoyed.
In the lounge, Su Yukan and Su Yi sat on opposite sides of the eting table, as distinctly separated as if by a clear boundary.
It seed there was hardly any communication between them.
Su Yukan was flipping through a financial magazine on the table, while Su Yi was wearing noise-canceling headphones and playing gas on his phone.
When Su Lu entered, both of them looked up at her.
Every ti Su Yukan saw Su Lu, he had trouble controlling the expression on his face, as if he’d gotten used to showing her the sa expression, and whenever he looked at her, it would appear unconsciously.
Su Yi also had a bit of that in the past.
When he saw Su Lu, he would get sowhat irritable, but now he wasn’t so emotional about her.
However, he still couldn’t help feeling a bit awkward whenever he saw her.
Su Lu sat down on a chair.
Su Yukan looked at her, cleared his throat, and strained to adjust his expression, at least no longer showing obvious disgust and disdain.
This attitude made Su Lu realize that Su Yukan must be here to ask a favor from her.
Otherwise, he would never show such an expression.
A few years ago, when he wanted her to marry Gu Xin, he also showed a rare pleasant face, but once she clearly showed her refusal, Su Yukan’s face imdiately turned ugly.
“Xiaolu, you have contact with your brother, right?” Su Yukan said.
“You two have always been close since you were kids, persuade him for , he always listens to you.”
Su Lu didn’t make a sound, just looked at him indifferently.
But Su Yukan was not one to need a reply; he was always able to talk on his own.
He continued, “Ask him to help out with the family company.
After all, we’re all family here.
Also, are you acquainted with President Bo from Boss?
I heard from Jiaojiao that you seem to have so sway with him?”
