Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It Chapter 220: The Saying ’Flies Don’t Bite a Seamless Egg’ Ha

This was Huang Feng’s brother. Xu Su didn’t want to make him uncomfortable during a al, so she headed back to the living room after saying her piece.

Before long, Huang Chao reappeared in the living room, having regained his cool, elite deanor.

He stood respectfully about three ters away from Xu Su, bowing slightly. "Is there anything you’d like to ask ? I’ll tell you anything I’m able to answer."

"Didn’t I say it before? You’re Huang Feng’s brother, so don’t use such honorifics with ." Xu Su pointed to the opposite sofa. "Sit down. Let’s talk."

Huang Chao nodded and sat down naturally.

Xu Su hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "How badly is Xi Zirong hurt? Is that sothing you can tell ?"

Huang Chao nodded, replying swiftly, "He has two broken ribs and so minor internal injuries. Otherwise, there are no major issues."

"Internal injuries?" The thought of Zhou Mochen’s vicious kick, which had made Xi Zirong spit up blood, made Xu Su’s heart clench. "Where exactly is he injured? Was he conscious when you left the hospital? Did he say anything? What did the doctor say about his recovery ti?"

This ti, Huang Chao’s reply wasn’t as quick. Xu Su’s barrage of questions made him pause for a mont before speaking. "His life isn’t in danger. The internal injuries aren’t severe. He’s already woken up. He’ll probably need about a month of rest before he can go back to school normally."

Xu Su slowly let out a breath, finally able to relax.

’As long as his life isn’t in danger...’

She was too close to the situation to see clearly. When it ca to Xi Zirong, her ability to judge things calmly completely disappeared.

Actually, now that she thought about it, the injuries that Little Huang Mao kid got from Shen Chen were even worse than Xi Zirong’s.

After all, Little Huang Mao had taken several solid kicks from Shen Chen. Back then, Xu Su had been able to casually assess that his life wasn’t in danger, believing Shen Chen would know his limits.

This ti, although Xi Zirong’s injuries weren’t light, Xu Su had stopped Zhou Mochen before he could land more than a few hits. There was no way he was hurt worse than Little Huang Mao.

After confirming Xi Zirong’s life wasn’t in danger, Xu Su instantly lost all desire to continue the conversation with Huang Chao.

She glanced at the ti and stood up. Seeing Huang Chao imdiately stand up with her, she spoke with a hint of helplessness, "I’m not your boss. You don’t have to be so formal. I’m going to my room to sleep now. You can find a room to rest. As for toiletries and things, you can ask the housekeeper for them."

In her past life, when Xu Su didn’t know Huang Feng, she never thought anything was amiss with Huang Chao’s respectful attitude.

But now, she really couldn’t stand having her good friend’s brother be so deferential toward her.

Huang Chao gave a slight smile. "Very well. Please get so rest."

"..." Xu Su rubbed her temples, a headache coming on. She had to admire Zhou Mochen’s thods for training his subordinates.

To say Huang Chao was impervious to persuasion would be an understatent.

He was a top student in the 21st century, for crying out loud. How could he act like a butler from so wealthy household in the old days?

Xu Su wouldn’t have been surprised if he called her "Madam" next.

Her head still aching, Xu Su returned to her room. ’It’s probably for the best that I don’t have my phone,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, I’d be debating whether or not to call Xi Zirong and ask how he’s doing.’

After washing up, she looked at the math test papers she hadn’t finished from a couple of days ago. Xu Su hesitated for a few seconds, then decided to work on them for a while to calm her mind. She only went to bed when she started to feel sleepy.

So much had happened today. Xu Su had thought she would sleep fitfully, but unexpectedly, her dreams that night were filled not with a furious Zhou Mochen or a bleeding Xi Zirong, but with an endless stream of difficult math problems, just like any other night at the school dormitory.

She woke up to broad daylight. Xu Su fumbled for the watch on her bedside table. It was eight o’clock.

Since she didn’t have to go to school anyway, Xu Su lazed in bed for a while before slowly getting up to wash. Rembering that another man, Huang Chao, might still be in the house, she changed out of her pajamas and into a set of loungewear before opening her door.

A woman was sitting on the living room sofa. She stood up quickly upon seeing Xu Su erge, a gentle smile on her face. "Hello, Miss Xu. I’m Gu Yue."

Xu Su froze, lowering the hand she’d raised to cover a yawn. "You’re here so early?"

’A flight from Beijing to Chang City takes at least five hours. Did she take a red-eye yesterday?’

As if reading her mind, Gu Yue smiled and said, "I was on a red-eye flight. I arrived in Chang City at six this morning."

Gu Yue’s voice was as pleasant as her na suggested, very easy on the ears. Her smile wasn’t fawning or obsequious; she didn’t have the look of soone trying to curry favor, which imdiately made a good impression.

Xu Su gave a casual nod and walked straight toward the dining room. "Have you had breakfast? You can join . By the way, where’s Huang Chao?"

"Assistant Huang had sothing to attend to. He left an hour ago." Gu Yue followed behind Xu Su into the dining room.

Xu Su preferred a Chinese-style breakfast. During her stay, her morning als always consisted of things like congee, fried dough sticks, flatbreads, tea eggs, soup dumplings, and small wontons.

She gestured to the seat opposite her. "Sit wherever you like."

Although she suspected Gu Yue might have special feelings for Zhou Mochen, Xu Su didn’t write her off completely.

Xu Su had always believed it was natural for people to appreciate beauty. It was perfectly normal for won to be attracted to Zhou Mochen. As long as he himself wasn’t interested, it’s not like a woman could force him into anything, right?

All instances of cheating and betrayal were never the fault of the third party alone. There was truth to the saying, "It takes two to tango."

Xu Su wouldn’t treat a potential rival with hostility, much less engage in the pathetic and ridiculous act of "guarding against the other woman."

Even if the woman across from her was coveting her boyfriend, Xu Su could remain perfectly composed.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder what the reason was for this female assistant’s eventual resignation.

Xu Su ate her bowl of chicken soup wontons at a leisurely pace, observing the woman across from her.

Gu Yue was dressed in a sharp business suit. She had an elegant air, a tall and slender figure, long brows, almond-shaped eyes, and bright features. She was a rare beauty, looking completely refreshed and not at all like soone who had been up all night.

’Mm... the epito of a successful career woman, I suppose.’

’Anyone who works for Zhou Mochen and is known by na must be exceptionally competent.’

Xu Su’s appraisal of Gu Yue was open and direct.

Gu Yue’s own assessnt of Xu Su, however, was far more subtle. When she received the assignnt, she knew she would finally get to et the rumored woman who had kept their great boss waiting in Chang City for two years...

Before today, Gu Yue had wondered countless tis what kind of woman could capture the heart of her boss—a man with impossibly high standards, who was always so cold and aloof.

’Oh, wait!’

’She’s not a woman, she’s just a girl...’

The girl across from her, dressed in gray casual loungewear, was only a senior in high school. Her ink-black hair was casually tousled, falling to her chest and accentuating her snow-white, delicate skin. Her eyes were large and bright, and even from across the dining table, you could see her thick eyelashes. She was like a piece of rare, exquisite jade.
