121: Chapter 121: The Older Woman Preys on the Younger Man 121: Chapter 121: The Older Woman Preys on the Younger Man Su He: “It’s okay, just rember not to let your child go out alone next ti.
After all, it’s not safe out there.”
Sang Luo nodded in response.
“Alright, I’ll be careful.”
“Then I’ll take Xuanxuan ho now.
I really want to thank you both for today,” Sang Luo said again with gratitude.
After that, she turned to Sang Yuxuan and beckoned, “Xuanxuan, let’s go ho.
Say goodbye to the two sisters.”
Sang Yuxuan’s childlike voice rang out, “Pretty sisters, thank you for tonight.”
After finishing, the little girl looked at Sang Luo, “Mommy, shall we invite the two sisters over for dinner next ti?”
Hearing her daughter, Sang Luo thought it was a good idea; otherwise, she didn’t know how else to express her thanks.
“Sure, then we will set a ti with the two sisters.”
Sang Yuxuan imdiately looked happily at Su He and Jing Xuan, “Pretty sisters, my mommy’s cooking is so delicious, you must co and try it.”
Su He smiled but did not refuse, “Okay.”
Jing Xuan extended her hand and gently rubbed her chubby cheek, “Then I’ll be waiting.”
Watching the mother and daughter leave, the two of them got up to pay the bill and left.
After retrieving their car, Su He and Jing Xuan went their separate ways.
On the way, Su He received a call from Moon Gift Villa.
Initially, she thought it was Qing Yue calling, “Hello, Qing Yue.”
But what ca through the phone was the childish voice of Su Yimo.
“Mommy, I’m your baby, not Aunt Qing Yue.”
“Ah, what’s up?” she asked.
Su Yimo pouted, “Mommy, when are you coming back?
Baby has sothing to tell you.”
Su He: “Mommy is on the way back.
It’ll take about forty minutes to get there.”
Su Yimo couldn’t hold back and blurted out on the phone.
“Mommy, do you rember Ji Mingxuan from our class?”
“Uh-huh, I rember.
What about him?”
“Today at school, Ji Mingxuan told that last night he saw his dad and mom fighting, and then his dad slamd the door and left, and his mom cried all night at ho.”
Su He was sowhat taken aback after hearing this.
But the next second, she calmly said, “Su Yimo, what do you want to tell ?”
“Mommy, is this what they call dostic violence?
Will Old Antique also hit you in the future?” Su Yimo asked cautiously.
Su He: “…”
Suddenly, Su He saw two figures, one big and one small, standing at the bus stop by the roadside, waiting for the bus.
Since the bus hadn’t arrived yet, Su He decided to stop the car.
She rolled down the window.
When Sang Yuxuan saw it was Su He, she shouted happily, “Mommy, it’s the pretty sister.”
Sang Luo bent down slightly and, upon seeing Su He, was also a bit stunned.
“Miss Su.”
Su He looked at them, “Co on up.
I’ll take you ho.
It’s not safe for the two of you to be out so late at night.”
Sang Luo was about to refuse because she didn’t want to trouble Su He again; she had already been a bother once today.
But her daughter pulled on her hand, walking towards the car.
Out of no choice, she got into the car.
After getting the address, Su He left the bus stop.
“Miss Su, I’m sorry for the trouble again,” Sang Luo, holding Sang Yuxuan in the back seat, said sowhat embarrassedly.
Su He, focused on driving, spoke in an even tone, “It’s fine, it’s on my way anyway.”
“Also, you don’t have to call Miss Su; it sounds weird.
Just call Su He.”
Sang Luo looked at her, initially feeling that Su He had a cold deanor that made her seem distant.
But it didn’t seem as hard to approach as she had imagined.
“Okay, Su He,” she said with a smile.
anwhile, Su Yimo on the phone listened to their conversation and suddenly spoke, “Mommy, who’s in the car with you?”
Hearing this, Sang Luo clearly froze.
Su He had forgotten she hadn’t hung up on Su Yimo.
Su He replied, “Aunt Sang and her daughter.
Su Yimo, say hello.”
Though Su Yimo didn’t know them, he obediently heeded Su He’s words and greeted, “Hello, Aunt Sang.”
Sang Luo, hearing Su Yimo’s childlike voice, replied, “Hello, little friend.”
Su He simply explained to Sang Luo, “This is my son, three years and four months old.”
Sang Luo was sowhat surprised.
She didn’t expect that Su He was already married and had a son.
She looked so young.
“Then Xuanxuan is a little older than your son, she just turned four last month,” Sang Luo said gently.
The two chatted sporadically, talking a bit about their children.
But Sang Luo didn’t interrupt Su He while she was driving, so the conversation wasn’t long.
However, the two children suddenly started chatting through the phone.
They continued until Su He dropped them off.
They did not live inside the community but in a residential building similar to urban villages.
Su He’s car couldn’t enter, so she parked at the crossroads.
She looked at the pitch-dark alley and slightly furrowed her brows.
She turned back to look at Sang Luo in the rear seat, “Do you need to take you to your front door?”
Sang Luo smiled graciously, “No need, no need, the building we live in is very close from here, just a few minutes away.
Don’t worry, we have lived here for two years.”
The milky voice of Sang Yuxuan rose up, “Pretty sister, I can walk this road even with my eyes closed, and I’m not afraid of the dark.”
Su He looked at her and couldn’t help but smile as well: “Then Xuanxuan is really great, braver than Su Yimo.
Auntie will tell you a secret, he’s afraid of the dark.”
On the other end of the phone, Su Yimo: “…”
Mommy, your son has his pride too.
Sang Luo: “Su He, thank you so much for today.
Be careful driving ho.”
Su He: “Okay, you guys should hurry back.”
After saying goodbye, Sang Luo and her daughter got off the car.
Su He watched them walk into the alley, and suddenly, she felt Sang Luo’s figure was sohow familiar, like she had seen her sowhere before, but she couldn’t rember at that mont.
It was only after their figures vanished into the darkness that she drove away.
–
Saturday morning.
Su He took Su Yimo to Sang Luo’s ho.
When she arrived, Jing Xuan was also just arriving.
However, she had brought another person with her, that was Gu Qianqian.
That day in the restaurant, she shalessly asked to add both of their WeChat.
The two of them were waiting at the corner of the street.
“Su He.”
Gu Qianqian was very excited upon seeing Su He.
She almost went for a big bear hug, but Jing Xuan held her back.
“That’s enough, she doesn’t like to be hugged.
If you rush over, you can’t hug her,” Jing Xuan kindly explained.
“Why not?” Gu Qianqian asked sincerely.
Jing Xuan replied with a light smile, “No reason.”
“…”
It wasn’t convenient to park here, Su He had to look for a long ti before finding a parking lot nearby and then walked over, luckily it wasn’t far.
Gu Qianqian suddenly noticed a little one following behind Su He.
Wearing a green baseball cap and a black face mask, carrying a small black backpack, and trotting behind Su He.
So cute!
“Holy crap, who’s that kid?” Gu Qianqian blinked, swearing as she asked.
Jing Xuan, holding an umbrella, said leisurely, “My godson, your Su He’s biological son.”
Gu Qianqian’s mouth gaped into an O of surprise.
She had found out last night that Su He was married but hadn’t heard that she already had a son.
And looking at her, she didn’t seem at all like soone who had had a child.
When she saw the high-value face of Su Yimo, she could only exclaim, “Su He, I think you and your husband should have more children.
Just for the sake of your good looks, it would be a disservice to society not to.”
Su He: “…”
Jing Xuan agreed with that.
Su Yimo tilted his little head to look at Su He, his childish voice ringing out, “Mommy, just give a little sister then, Barbie dolls can’t talk.”
Neither Jing Xuan nor Gu Qianqian expected him to say that, and both were stunned for a mont.
Su He looked down and replied with a chuckle, “Heh, keep dreaming about it.”
Having said that, she paid no attention to him and walked ahead on her own.
They had just entered the small alley when they saw Sang Yuxuan standing there alone, waiting.
Seeing them, she was very happy and bounced joyfully over to them.
She then led them upstairs.
It was Gu Qianqian’s first ti at such a place.
The houses here were very close together, and from the street outside, they all looked like a large cluster of residential buildings.
Sang Luo and her daughter lived on the fifth floor, with the tallest building being only eight stories high.
The original one-bedroom apartnt wasn’t big to start with; with several people entering, it beca even more crowded.
Su He and the others hadn’t expected the house to be so small, but it was a case of a small sparrow with all of its vital organs.
Furthermore, Sang Luo had kept it really tidy and clean, making it look cozy and warm.
Sang Luo was in the kitchen.
Hearing noises, she ca out.
“That, the house is a bit small, don’t mind it, just have a seat, I’ll pour you so water.”
Sang Luo quickly poured a glass of water for each of them.
And then she continued, “You guys just sit, I’ll go to the kitchen to start with the food.”
Su He offered to help: “Should I give you a hand?”
Sang Luo replied, “No need, just sit and wait for the al, I can handle it on my own.
Besides, the kitchen is too small to fit two people.”
The two kids had already started entertaining themselves.
Su He and the others sat down in the living room.
Actually, even if Su He went to help, all she could do was wash vegetables; she couldn’t cook.
They didn’t have to wait long, Sang Luo made seven dishes and one soup, and she specifically prepared sothing the children could eat.
“Wow, Sister Sang Luo, your cooking is amazing.”
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Gu Qianqian’s mouth was watering.
Sang Luo smiled gently and responded: “These are just ho-cooked dishes, as long as you don’t despise them.”
“How could we despise them?
Just looking at the colors, they must taste great,” said Gu Qianqian.
“Plus, you’re so capable to pull off seven dishes and a soup by yourself; I struggle even with one dish.”
Sang Luo always gave off a gentle elder sister vibe: “That’s alright, if you guys want to eat, I’ll cook for you another ti.”
After lunch.
Sang Luo took the initiative to do the dishes, the three of them couldn’t get a word in edgeways.
Su He received a call from Su Zhimian midway.
The house was too noisy, so she went out to the balcony.
Su Zhimian on the other line asked, “Are you at ho?”
Su He: “No, I’ve taken Su Yimo to a friend’s house, what’s up?”
“I’ll be in Yue City in half an hour, Grandpa and Grandma asked to bring so things for you and Xixi.”
“Ah?
What did you bring?”
“Nothing much, just so snacks.”
After hearing that, Su He laughed helplessly.
“…Grandpa and Grandma aren’t worried that I’m mistreating their grandchildren, are they?”
Su Zhimian chuckled, “I guess so.”
“…”
“By the way, what are you doing suddenly in Yue City?” asked Su He.
Su Zhimian: “There’s a company project up for public tender in Yue City, Dad asked to oversee it.”
“Oh, how long are you staying?”
“Probably around a week in total.”
“Okay, let’s have a al together tomorrow.
Su Heng just finished military training anyway.”
“Mhm.”
“About the stuff from Grandpa and Grandma, just send it to Pear Garden Pavilion for now, Su Heng should be back already.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Su He saw that Jiang Yan had sent her a ssage, asking what she was doing.
She quickly typed a line and hit send.
Jing Xuan saw her coming in from the balcony and asked, “Last ti I heard from Lan Yan, Wen Qianyi has been looking for you these days?”
Su He humd in acknowledgnt: “In the hospital.
She ca to see , I can’t really refuse.”
Wen Qianyi had actually made plans with her today, but she turned it down to co here to Sang Luo’s place.
Just then, Sang Luo ca out of the kitchen and froze for a second upon hearing that na.
Wen Qianyi?
Is it the one she knows?
And the following conversation between Jing Xuan and Gu Qianqian just confird the guess in her heart.
“Why is she coming to chat with you every day, what’s her motive?
As the Miss Wen of Yue City and the CEO of the Wen Family, she shouldn’t be lacking friends, right?”
Gu Qianqian leaned on the sofa while looking at her phone, she asked, “The Miss Wen you ntioned, is it the Wen Family from H city?”
Jing Xuan looked at her, “Yeah, why, do you know her?”
Gu Qianqian took her gaze away from the phone, and started chattering, “I know her.
That old man from the Wen Family is friends with my grandpa.
One day, I overheard my grandpa on the phone with him, it seed like they were discussing an arranged marriage.
Later, I gossiped with my grandpa for a bit, and found out that old man Wen wanted to arrange a marriage with my brother.
But my brother is only 24 years old, his granddaughter is almost thirty, isn’t he basically trying to get an older woman to prey on a younger man?”
“I imdiately told my grandpa that we couldn’t agree, besides, I’ve seen the photo of the Miss Wen, and she’s definitely not a match for my brother.”
Neither Jing Xuan nor Su He had expected Wen Xiahai to change his target so quickly.
Was he that worried about Wen Qianyi not being able to marry off?
However, Jing Xuan had a curious question, she looked at Gu Qianqian and asked, “Who is your grandfather?”
Anyone who knows Wen Xiahai and could make him, an old man only interested in benefits, go out of his way to flatter, must not be ordinary.
Gu Qianqian truly considered them as friends and didn’t choose to hide anything.
“Gu Tianyuan.”
Both Jing Xuan and Su He were stunned; they knew the Old Mr.
Gu of the Gu Family.
Sang Luo simply didn’t know, so she didn’t have any reaction.
“What?” Jing Xuan’s crisp voice carried a slight shock, “You an, Old Mr.
Gu is your grandpa?”
Gu Qianqian blinked and nodded, “Yeah, that’s right.”
Jing Xuan laughed lightly, “Then Gu Beiyan is your uncle?”
“Right, right, Ms.
Xuan, do you know my uncle?” Gu Qianqian chirped like a little sparrow.
“To say I know him would be an understatent, just go ask if he knows us,” Jing Xuan said.
In fact, it’s not Gu Qianqian’s fault for not knowing Jing Xuan and Su He; mainly because she had always been studying abroad and only ca back a few months ago.
Aside from her own family, she hardly knew any of the rich heiresses or wealthy young masters of Yue City.
Moreover, her mother didn’t allow her to associate with those people and never took her out to et this or that rich family’s daughter or son.
Her parents never interfered with her social relationships, as long as she did not mingle with people from bad influences; that was their only request.
Soon, Gu Qianqian sent a ssage to Gu Beiyan.
Gu Beiyan also replied quickly: “One is your fifth uncle’s wife, the other is Uncle Jing Chu’s sister.”
Looking at this ssage, Gu Qianqian was stunned.
She knew Jiang Yan and Jing Chu because she had seen group photos with them at her uncle’s and knew they were her uncle’s close friends.
Holy shit!
What shocked her the most was that Su He was actually Jiang Yan’s wife.
She replied to Gu Beiyan: “Uncle, I was even thinking of introducing Su He to you as a wife, thank goodness I didn’t, or else I might have had to mourn for you.”
Gu Beiyan, working overti at the company, saw his niece’s reply and three black lines crossed his forehead!
“…”
An Group.
As soon as Lin Yue arrived at the company, she went straight to An Chengyuan’s office.
“Madam, why are you here?” The assistant was surprised to see her.
Lin Yue glared at him with a chilling gaze, her tone high-pitched, “Why?
Can’t I co?”
An Chengyuan hadn’t been ho in a long ti, she had lost count of how long it had been, except for necessary holidays that he must attend, then he would step into that ho.
Every ti she wanted to see him, she had to co to the company to block people, only then she could see him.
Upon hearing her, the assistant imdiately lowered his head, nervously, “That’s not what I ant, madam.”
Lin Yue scoffed, “Where is he?”
Assistant: “Mr.
An just finished a video conference, he’s in the office.”
Lin Yue no longer paid attention to him and directly pushed the door and entered.
The assistant wanted to stop her, but…
Lin Yue’s imposing manner was quite intimidating.
An Chengyuan was sitting in his executive chair reading docunts, and when he heard soone pushing the door, his eyebrows slightly frowned and he looked up to see Lin Yue, all dolled up, walking in.
His deep eyes imdiately filled with coldness, and his words were indifferent, “What are you here for this ti?”
Lin Yue had long been accustod to his attitude, but it still hurt her.
She directly seated herself in the chair opposite him.
Then she spoke, “I have a way to help you secure the cooperation with the Su Family.”
An Chengyuan’s expression remained unchanged, his thick eyebrows full of coldness, waiting for her to continue.
