A middle-aged woman was standing outside, dressed elegantly. After confirming eye contact, she bypassed the floor-to-ceiling window and walked in.
Seems like an acquaintance?
"Who is it?" Xia Xiyan tugged at Ou Jue’s sleeve, only to see Ou Jue already standing up to greet the woman.
...Wow, after knowing Ou Jue for so long, she had almost never seen him show this level of respect to anyone.
Even the bigshot took the initiative to greet her.
Susan walked inside and placed her purse opposite her. "Xiao Jue, it’s really you."
"Ms. Susan."
What??
She’s Ms. Susan?
Xiyan quickly stood up as well. "Ms. Susan, hello, I’m Xia Xiyan."
Susan gave Xiyan a quick once-over, then sat down. Her eyes swept across the table filled with gourt dishes, and a wave of anger rushed over her.
"Xiao Jue said you were busy with work, and I believed him. But I didn’t expect you had ti to eat out yet didn’t think of visiting , who has just been discharged from the hospital."
"It’s not like that..." Xiyan hurried to explain, "Today is the last shoot for an advertisent, I actually just said I was planning to visit you after wrapping it up."
Ha.
Susan let out a chilly laugh from deep within. The truth was right in front of her—still pretending?
The mont she laid eyes on this girl, she didn’t like her.
She didn’t know why, but seeing this girl filled her with unease.
Tsk, both are celebrities, but how could she be so different from Momo?
Xiyan awkwardly spoke up, "Um, Ms. Susan, have you had dinner yet?"
"I’ve eaten." Susan replied, turning to Ou Jue, "Xiao Jue, I was out and about today because the weather seed nice, but I’m tired after walking for so long. Why don’t you send back ho?"
Ou Jue’s attractive eyes shifted slightly, glancing at the steak Xiyan had barely touched.
Their al hadn’t even reached the halfway point, and now Ms. Susan had shown up.
Ou Jue took out his phone. "I’ll have Assistant Chen arrange to pick you up right away."
"Xiao Jue." Susan’s tone revealed her displeasure. "I don’t want to wait around here for soone to pick up. I’m tired now. I want to go back imdiately—do you understand?"
That tone...
For soone of Ou Jue’s status, nobody dared speak to him like this.
But Susan had no fear.
The mbers of the Ou Family were all trying to curry favor with her; even Xiao Jue was no exception.
Ou Jue’s thin lips pursed into a cold, hard line, and the outline of his jaw tightened.
"Um, why don’t you go ahead and take Ms. Susan ho?" Xiyan gently nudged Ou Jue. "I’ll keep eating for a bit longer and then head back. The director just posted in the group chat saying they’re about to start filming soon."
Speaking of which, Xiyan turned to look at Ms. Susan, "I’m really sorry. I know how important you are to Ou Jue and the Ou Family. I respect you just as everyone else does. Once I finish filming this advertisent, I will imdiately visit you."
Susan shot Xiyan a cold glare, saying nothing, then stood up and said to Ou Jue, "Shall we go?"
Ou Jue reached out to rub Xiyan’s little head. "Eat all the beef I cut for you, okay?"
"Got it." Xiyan obediently nodded.
Ou Jue couldn’t resist lowering his head to kiss her forehead before following Susan out.
Although she had promised Ou Jue she’d eat everything, the mont he left with Ms. Susan, Xiyan lost her appetite.
-
After dropping Ms. Susan off at her apartnt, Ou Jue stared at the large shopping bags of clothes and shoes she had bought, lost in thought.
