"I have no dealings with them, why bother about what they do?"
Su Chen shrugged.
"Could it be that you're annoyed because Situ Lei likes my sister, so you want to use Situ Jiao to cause trouble for the Situ Family?"
Du Hanshuang tilted her head and asked:
"But they're just in a normal relationship, right? At worst, it's just more gossip, not that big of a deal, is it?"
"A normal relationship? Not necessarily!"
Su Chen didn't say this out loud, but the smile at the corner of his mouth grew broader!
Who would've thought that this Cui Yuanmin was a charr of both young and old, hooking up with won from two major families, and what's more, those families were the closely tied Situ Family and Zheng Family!
Su Chen was very much looking forward to the stir that this major news would create when it broke.
However, he still needed sothing more explosive, so it looked like he was going to be a nocturnal visitor again tonight!
Su Chen couldn't help feeling grateful that he hadn't imdiately exposed the affair between Cui Yuanmin and Zheng Yan previously.
If he had done so at the ti, where would the current excitent be!
Watching Su Chen's expression, Du Hanshuang felt that this guy was definitely up to no good!
At that mont, Du Hanshuang couldn't help but recall the situation when Su Chen's entire body had been pressed against hers, and her heart began to race, her cheeks gradually flushing!
"What am I thinking? He's my sister's man!"
Imdiately, Du Hanshuang shook her head vigorously, trying to toss out this "terrifying" thought!
But the more she tried not to think about it, the more vividly she recalled the image of the two of them tightly pressed together behind the pillar!
A young girl's longing for spring is always poetic; Su Chen absolutely didn't expect that a careless gesture would leave a different kind of mark in Du Hanshuang's heart.
What Du Hanshuang hadn't realized was that this mark had already been branded on her the very first ti she had followed Su Chen in Jianghai and had been outplayed by him.
In fact, at that ti, Su Chen's reactions were nothing more than instinctive efforts to prevent those two from being discovered.
Next, Su Chen drove his car back to where they had eaten earlier because Du Hanshuang's car was still parked there.
Then he drove to the company; as soon as he entered, the receptionist girl told him that President Lin wanted him to visit her office as soon as he returned.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen of course scurried straight to Lin Ruoxue's office.
"Wifey, I'm here!"
Just like when he was in Jianghai, Su Chen never knocked before entering Lin Ruoxue's office.
"Where have you been fooling around now, vanishing for half the day?"
Lin Ruoxue frowned at his ingratiating smile.
"Fooling around? I went out to see a client," Su Chen quipped.
"Go see a ghost!"
Lin Ruoxue didn't believe for a second that he would take the initiative to et any client; this guy couldn't possibly stay in the office and do his work, never mind go out to see clients.
"Wifey, what did you want to see about, anyway?"
Su Chen chuckled and then moved behind Lin Ruoxue, placing his hands on her fragrant shoulders and began to gently massage them.
Lin Ruoxue was now quite enjoying his massages; she felt sowhat uncomfortable without them for several days, so she didn't stop him this ti.
"Husband, the day after tomorrow we're going to pay respects to... your parents. Do you think just buying a few bunches of flowers is too simple?"
Lin Ruoxue asked sowhat nervously, her cheeks blushing at the ntion of his parents.
Thinking of paying respects to in-laws she had never t made her heart race, even though they had already passed away.
After all, this was a very important event for her, or at least Lin Ruoxue took it very seriously!
"No need, they're not the sort who fuss over formalities, it's the thought that counts."
Su Chen said with a faint smile.
"Really, there's nothing inappropriate about this?"
Lin Ruoxue still asked sowhat uneasily.
"Don't worry, they'll be thrilled just to see you, and won't be picking over gifts!"
Su Chen reassured her.
At that mont, thinking of Su Chen's parents, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but recall the mysterious owner behind Jinsheng Group.
"Husband, do you truly have no relatives left in this world?"
Lin Ruoxue turned her head and asked Su Chen with a puzzled look.
"None left, and those who are alive aren't worthy of the title 'relatives'!"
A sudden chill swept over Su Chen's face, causing even Lin Ruoxue to shudder!
At this mont, Su Chen thought of the second branch of the Su Family, who had played a disgraceful role in past events!
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue imdiately understood that he did have relatives.
But it seed their relationship was far from harmonious, perhaps even filled with hatred!
Yet the woman from Jinsheng Group that day didn't seem like his enemy; if she was an enemy, why would she want to give away the entire huge entity of Jinsheng Group to her?
With this thought, Lin Ruoxue beca even more puzzled.
However, seeing Su Chen in this state, she didn't say much more.
"Husband, why do I feel even more energetic today than usual?"
Lin Ruoxue deliberately changed the subject, but she wasn't just making conversation, as she usually felt very drowsy by the afternoon and needed a cup of coffee to stay awake to continue working.
Yet today, close to the end of work, she still didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue.
"Maybe you just had a better rest last night."
Su Chen replied with a casual smile, already putting away the chill that had just been on his face.
Of course, the real reason was that Su Chen had set up a small Gathering Yuan Formation in the villa; with such rich True Yuan nourishing her, feeling anything less than alert would have been strange!
Afterwards, Su Chen carried on chatting casually while giving Lin Ruoxue a massage, and she continued to examine docunts and make notes without interruption.
Monts later, Lin Ruoxue suddenly sensed sothing odd in front of her and quickly looked down, anger flashing in her beautiful eyes!
Because this scoundrel's hand had sohow slid down from her fragrant shoulder to a place where it didn't belong!
"Smack!"
"Where are you putting your hand?!"
Lin Ruoxue slapped the back of his hand fiercely, her tone icy.
"Force of habit, force of habit!"
Su Chen said with an embarrassed smile, retracting his wandering hand and placing it back on Lin Ruoxue's shoulder, which was now red.
He couldn't help but think to himself that this woman really didn't pull her punches!
Of course, Lin Ruoxue wouldn't let him continue, and she promptly sent him out.
Walking into the corridor with a bitter face, Su Chen saw Yunlong approaching from the entrance, an excited look on his face.
Yunlong had visited several tis already, and the people from the Belle Group had co to recognize him, so he usually entered directly without needing to announce himself.
"Yunlong, what brings you here?"
"Of course, it's good news! Co on, big bro, let's talk in your office."
Yunlong urged Su Chen into the office with an air of mystery and then closed the door behind them…
