107: Chapter 107: A Direct Hit 107: Chapter 107: A Direct Hit Su He’s office.
Lan Yan was showing her the video of Tang Sirou saving Jiang Yan.
“Boss, this video has gone viral.”
Su He watched the eighteen-second video and then handed the phone back to her.
She said indifferently, “She brought this upon herself, losing both her partner and the battle.”
Tang Sirou probably did it to spite her, but not only did she fail to provoke her, but she also attracted trouble for herself, and even involved the Lou Family.
The online trending searches continued to rise, but this ti, the topic was about Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan has always been a mystery in Yue City, rarely seen in person, and what most people knew about him was that he wouldn’t live past thirty.
Many people thought he must be physically weak and listless due to long-term illness, but this ti, it was his first press conference, his first public appearance.
He looked anything but frail, instead, he seed energetic, donned in a black bespoke suit that wrapped his long, straight legs in high-quality fabric.
He stood tall, with a stern face, sharp features, smooth lines, with star-like eyes under his sword-like eyebrows, utterly handso like a majestic tree.
Nobly, elegantly, calmly, restrained, it was hard to take one’s eyes off him.
So said that if he went into the entertainnt industry, he could instantly overshadow a bunch of young heartthrobs.
Yet others felt pity, as his life was coming to an end.
After all, he was twenty-nine this year, with just one more year before he turned thirty.
After feasting on this lon, netizens began to gossip about who Mrs.
Jiang was.
What kind of woman could be a match for Fifth Young Master Jiang, who was handso, wealthy, and powerful?
After all, even a beautiful woman like Tang Sirou didn’t catch his eye.
Mrs.
Jiang, who caught his interest, must have her unique qualities.
Unfortunately, there was little to no information about Mrs.
Jiang online.
To those in the know, these online comnts were like watching a play unfold, waiting for Su He’s mont to co into the light.
Elsewhere.
Lou Ziang vented his anger in Tang Sirou’s hospital room before storming out and slamming the door behind him.
Then, An Xueyin ca in.
Currently, Tang Sirou was their group’s patient, and she just happened to be the one in charge.
“Cousin, are you alright?”
Upon entering, she saw shards of glass all over the floor, with Tang Sirou curled up on the bed, hugging her knees.
She avoided the glass and walked to the edge of the bed.
“Did he hit you?” An Xueyin asked.
Tang Sirou’s complexion was sowhat pale, her expression dim, and she shook her head, “No.”
Seeing her in this spiritless state, An Xueyin also felt a pang of sorrow.
No one expected that Lou Ziang, who had always been courteous and gentle-mannered, would have such a violent temper.
It was only after interacting with him for half a month that Tang Sirou had seen this side of him, and now she was genuinely afraid of his outbursts.
In the past, her interactions with Lou Ziang were brief.
Only after spending more ti with him did she see his true nature.
Ti reveals a person’s heart!
If it weren’t because of Su He, she wouldn’t have fallen into Lou Ziang’s cage.
She hated this woman, hating why she had to return, why she had to destroy everything!
The obscurity in her eyes gradually turned into a vicious and sinister scorpion.
“Cousin, don’t think too much, the online comnts aren’t so scary,” An Xueyin comforted her by her side.
“After a few days of gossiping, people will forget about it.”
Tang Sirou seed distracted, lost in thought, and didn’t respond.
An Xueyin continued, “But cousin, Xingqi dia under the Jiang Family intends to terminate their contract with you.
I guess it’s because Su He has been whispering in Fifth Young Master Jiang’s ear; otherwise, why would they let go of you, a top-tier star, so easily?”
Following this hot topic, Tang Sirou’s fans did not cause an uproar, mainly because they did not dare to, considering the other party was their idol’s sugar daddy.
A flicker of ruthlessness crossed Tang Sirou’s eyes, but it quickly subsided.
She looked up at An Xueyin, displaying an innocent deanor, “Xueyin, don’t spread rumors.
I don’t think Dr.
Su is that kind of person.”
“Besides, Yan is not soone who can’t distinguish right from wrong.”
An Xueyin was a bit angry to see her still defending Su He at such a ti.
“Cousin, what ti is it now, and you’re still speaking up for that wild girl Su He?
Even if you speak for her, she won’t appreciate it.
You didn’t see how arrogant she was this morning.”
Tang Sirou still spoke softly and gently, “Xueyin, I’m not speaking up for her, we just need to observe the evidence in everything we do.
And now that I’m engaged to Lou Ziang, there is no conflict with Su He, she has no reason to target .”
An Xueyin said, “Cousin, does Su He need a reason to harm you?
After all, your existence may affect her current status as Mrs.
Jiang.
She will definitely find a way to push you out of Fifth Young Master Jiang’s sight, so you don’t get involved with him again.”
“Cousin, you mustn’t be softhearted.
Once you are soft, Su He will have succeeded.”
Tang Sirou looked at her puzzled, asking, “What do you want to do?”
An Xueyin subconsciously glanced at the door, and upon seeing no one, she began to speak:
“I already found out yesterday, Su He is currently handling a very important patient.
If sothing happens to that person on her watch, it would be either the end of her dical career or at least a blight on her record.”
“No, Xueyin, we can’t harm innocent people.” A peculiar light flickered in Tang Sirou’s eyes.
“Moreover, if this is traced back, both you and I will be implicated.”
An Xueyin placed her hand on her shoulder.
“I won’t do it myself, and no one will trace it back to you or .
It will just be an accident, and it won’t lead to a fatality.
You can rest assured, cousin.”
“I just want to give Su He a lesson,” An Xueyin’s eyes revealed a hint of hatred.
She had never liked Su He since they were children.
Not until Su He was driven out of the An Family did she take the place of Miss An.
She had a happy ti during that period, because the thought of Su He being left in the countryside filled her with joy.
But unexpectedly, she has now returned and even beca the Young Madam of the Jiang Family.
And her current position is even higher than mine, how could I swallow this pride?
The An Family abandoned her; she was supposed to lead a very miserable and hard life.
But not only did she not, she is even living more comfortably and proudly than ever.
“Beauties, how about gathering tonight?”
Jing Xuan @ntioned Jiang You and Su He in the group chat of the four.
Jiang Nanche replied the fastest:
[Am I not worthy to join your gathering?]
Jing Xuan:
[Dear little brother Nanche, when you beco our “little sister Nanche,” you’ll be eligible, behave～]
Jiang Nanche replied with six dots…
Upon seeing the ssage, Su He asked in the group: [Address]
Jing Xuan imdiately replied: [Gold-plated Club; just co over after you’re done with your things.]
Jiang You: [Got it, I will probably finish work around 8.]
As soon as it was six o’clock, Su He packed up her stuff and left.
She made a call to Moon Gift Villa.
It was Uncle Zhong who picked up the phone: “Hello, this is Moon Gift Villa.”
“Uncle Zhong, it’s .”
“Young Madam.”
“Um, Uncle Zhong, I won’t be ho for dinner tonight, no need to keep any food for .”
“Oh, alright, is Master not coming back either?” Uncle Zhong asked.
Su He paused for a mont, “Well, he should be, but maybe Uncle Zhong, you can ask him.”
She didn’t ask Jiang Yan.
Uncle Zhong was sowhat puzzled, did Master and Young Madam have a quarrel?
He didn’t ask further and responded, “Okay, Young Madam.”
After hanging up the phone, Su He thought about it and still sent Jiang Yan a ssage to tell him that she wouldn’t be ho for dinner tonight.
Tonight, Su Yimo wasn’t at Moon Gift Villa either; he was taken to the Jiang Family Mansion to have dinner with the Old Madam.
Ever since the Old Madam learned she had a great-grandson, her mood improved a lot.
She was eating better and sleeping better, even wishing for Su Yimo to stay at the old house every day.
She also told Su He that if they were too busy to take care of the child, she could do it, including picking up and dropping off from school.
She didn’t mind at all; as long as the Old Madam was happy, she simply agreed for Su Yimo to stay a few more days at the old house.
However, the little guy himself wasn’t happy about it, saying he could go to the old house after school but had to co back to sleep at night.
So later, she had to pick him up and bring him back.
After sending the ssage to Jiang Yan, Su He waited a few minutes and saw no reply, so she threw her phone on the center console.
Normally when she texted him, he almost instantly replied, if he hadn’t, it ant he was probably busy, and she didn’t plan to disturb him.
After all, she had already sent a ssage.
The Gold-plated Club is extraordinarily crowded in the evening.
There are many entertainnt venues inside; you can play anything you want, but those who can afford to co here are either rich or noble.
Spending a night here ans starting your expenses with tens of thousands.
She drove directly to the underground parking lot.
Then she asked Jing Xuan which floor she was on and took the elevator up.
There was only Su He in the elevator, and just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand suddenly stretched out, blocking the doors from closing, and they opened again.
Su He glanced subconsciously, only to see a tall man walk in.
He was wearing a black hat and a mask, dressed in black, and his appearance was entirely unrecognizable.
Su He didn’t sense any dangerous presence from him, so she didn’t pay much attention.
She thought probably he ca here to play and was afraid of being photographed.
The man got off on the third floor.
Su He watched the man’s back, feeling a familiar sense, but also thought it was unrealistic.
The Gold-plated Club has nine floors in total, and except for the ninth floor which is off-limits, all other floors were accessible.
And each floor has corresponding entertainnt activities.
The third floor, if she rembered correctly, hosts a boxing ring.
Those who go to this floor are either there to watch a boxing match or to box.
Fifth floor.
Su He found the private room Jing Xuan ntioned, room 5022.
She pushed the door open, Jing Xuan had already started drinking by herself inside.
“My beautiful Jing Xuan, what’s gotten into you?”
Su He sat down, staring at her and asked, “Why start brooding with a drink on your own?”
Jing Xuan pinched the stem of the wine glass filled with red wine and swirled it a few tis.
She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Su He: “…”
After a long while, she finally spoke, “Baobao, tell , what exactly is he up to?”
“He already has Ye Hanqing, so why does he still show up before ?”
Jing Xuan’s eyes were sowhat hazy, filled with myriad questions and confusion.
She really couldn’t figure out what Lu Zhiyang was trying to do.
Su He naturally knew who ‘he’ was in her words.
But then, she didn’t know the answer to that question either.
Su He’s lips moved slightly, “Maybe, he still has lingering feelings?”
“Bullshit!”
As soon as Su He finished speaking, Jing Xuan reacted violently.
“Such bullshit lingering feelings!”
“I think that bastard just can’t stand to see happy.”
“He’s just coming to disgust on purpose!”
“Serves him right that his little brother isn’t working anymore!”
In the silent private room, Jing Xuan’s voice filled the air.
Su He just sat there quietly, letting her vent.
anwhile.
In a special private room on the seventh floor, a certain man kept sneezing.
“Wow, Old Lu, did you catch a cold?”
Gu Beiyan imdiately covered his nose and quickly distanced himself from him.
He had a look of disgust on his face.
The man’s narrow almond eyes behind his glasses shot him a cold glance.
Gu Beiyan cleared his throat and said, “Why do you still look like a resentful husband?”
“…”
“Did you get a hard ti from Ye Hanqing?”
No matter what he asked, Lu Zhiyang ignored him.
Gu Beiyan didn’t give up and continued, “Last ti Ye Hanqing ended up in a ss at the hospital entrance and even made the trending news, she wasn’t really…
you know, right?”
Actually, like most netizens, he wanted to know what was going on behind the scenes.
Too bad there was no report about it online.
Lu Zhiyang spoke in a low and cold voice, “If you’re so curious, go ask her yourself.”
Gu Beiyan: “Are you sure if I ask her, I won’t get beaten up?”
“…”
By the ti Jiang You arrived, Jing Xuan was already quite drunk.
As for Su He, she hadn’t touched a drop.
Due to her professional habits, she didn’t like to drink, plus she had to pick soone up from the old mansion later.
“Young Madam, what’s wrong with Ms.
Xuan?”
Jiang You blinked her apricot eyes, looking puzzled at Su He.
“She’s in a bad mood.”
Jiang You: “…”
This was really sothing she had never seen before.
She had known Jing Xuan for so long, and apart from that one night six years ago, she had never seen her drink so recklessly again.
“Then why not drink at Fanghua Ruming?”
Jiang You asked the sa question as Su He.
Su He replied using Jing Xuan’s own words, “Drinking at ho is no fun.”
Jiang You: “…”
Then, Jiang You started to drink with Jing Xuan.
She didn’t have to work tomorrow anyway, so she could join her.
Su He just sat by their side.
Whatever they needed, she would fetch for them.
At this mont, Su He received a reply from Jiang Yan.
[Which private room are you all in?]
Su He glanced at the ssage and replied imdiately: [Fifth floor, 5022.
Are you here too?]
The other side replied in a second:
“Um, seventh floor, Room 7001”
Su He had just finished reading and hadn’t had the chance to reply when another ssage popped up: “Want to co up?”
Looking at the two people drinking rrily, Su He replied: “No, I’ve got two drunks here”
Jiang Yan looked at her reply and responded: “Good timing, I’ve got two here as well”
He picked up his phone, took a photo of the scene in front of him, and sent it over.
Su He opened the photo and saw it was Gu Beiyan and Lu Zhiyang, and there were no others around.
“President Jiang, why is your drinking party so quiet?
Didn’t ask anyone to join you?”
Jiang Yan got her aning as soon as he saw the ssage.
His thin lips curved slightly, his long fingers quickly typed a line: “Mrs.
Jiang, could it be that your place is very lively, hmm?”
Su He glanced at the rowdy pair and with an almost imperceptible smile said: “Hmm, it is quite lively”
Jiang Yan sent a question mark.
Su He smiled and did not reply to him.
Then, Jiang You mumbled she needed to go to the restroom, but the private one inside was currently occupied by Jing Xuan.
She had no choice but to accompany her to the outside restroom.
Song Shi was standing guard outside the door.
“Keep an eye on your Miss, I’ll accompany her to the restroom,” Su He said to him.
Song Shi: “Sure thing, Miss Su.”
Inside the restroom, after Jiang You used the toilet, she leaned against the washstand and began vomiting profusely.
Su He: “…”
All she could do was rub her back, supporting her with one hand to prevent her from falling due to her unstable footing.
After throwing up, Jiang You felt much better, as if sothing obstructing her stomach had finally been cleared, causing her extre discomfort.
After washing her face, she felt a bit more alert, but still sowhat dizzy.
“Sis-in-law, I’m fine now, let’s go back.”
The two ca out of the restroom, and as they turned a corner ahead, a shadow suddenly burst out, bumping into Jiang You head-on.
Her footing unsteady, she nearly fell but was tily pulled up by Su He.
The shadow that bumped into her didn’t stop for a mont.
Su He turned around and saw a flash of a black-clad figure dash into the n’s restroom.
This black outfit looked familiar.
Wasn’t this the man she had encountered in the elevator when she arrived?
“Eh, why is my cloth red?”
Jiang You noticed the red color on her white clothes and expressed her confusion.
Su He glanced at Jiang You’s clothes, her brows slightly furrowed—that was a bloodstain.
Jiang You felt the blood on her hand as well, she sniffed it and exclaid, “Damn!
This is blood, sis-in-law, this…”
Instantly Jiang You sobered up considerably.
At that mont, they heard a rough voice: “Find that kid, he’s injured, he can’t get far!”
Several burly bodyguards in black were heading their way.
Su He quickly covered the bloodstain on Jiang You’s clothes.
“Did you see a man wearing a black hat and dressed all in black co this way?”
One of the bodyguards asked them.
Su He appeared indifferent and calm, pointing down the corridor, “It seems like he ran towards the stairs over there.”
Upon hearing this, the bodyguards in black rushed off in that direction.
Jiang You blinked and looked at Su He, “Sis-in-law, but that person went to…”
She initially wanted to point towards the restroom, but Su He held her hand.
“Well, Youyou, you go back first, I have sothing to deal with and will return in a bit,” Su He told her.
Just as Su He was about to leave, Jiang You grabbed her.
“No way, sis-in-law, I want to go with you.”
Before Su He could refuse, she continued: “I won’t cause you trouble, if sothing happens to you, my brother will skin alive, so please take with you…”
Unable to persuade her and fearing the black-clad bodyguards might return, Su He had no choice but to take her along.
Then, they walked towards another safety passage.
In a short while, they arrived at the back door of the Gold-plated Club, outside was a dimly lit alley, the lighting not very bright.
Actually, Jiang You was a bit afraid of the dark, she clutched tightly at Su He’s arm, sowhat regretting following her.
“Sis-in-law, what are we doing here?”
Su He didn’t speak and just walked into the alley.
Suddenly.
‘Bang!’
“Ah…”
