Chapter 0020 – She’s Going Back Home (2 / 2)

There was more than a little non-negotiable determination in her voice.

Qi Zhiyu had to stop and turned to fiddling with his phone, “Remember to follow the process of taking leave.”

Su Wanqing dryly threw the cigarette case and lighter into the trash can together, “I have not yet finished my annual leave this year, so my time can be flexibly deployed.”

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she walked straight to the bedroom’s cloakroom and began to prepare her bag for the business trip, calculating in her mind that she would stop by the next family gathering and bring a few extra sets of clothes just in case.

When she dragged her suitcase back to the living room, Qi Zhiyu was nowhere to be seen.

She then instructed the maid, “Please help put the boxes in the car first.”

He was about to return to the bedroom when the door to the downstairs study opened silently.

As soon as Qi Wenfeng showed up, Jin Qin greeted him from around the corner and asked with concern, “What did the old master say to you?”

“It’s about the Machi Ladder project.”

Qi Wenfeng’s face was slightly grave, and it was easy to see that the conversation had not been pleasant.

[Taozi, help me check out all of yg’s recent movements regarding the Machiya ladder.]

“Understood, Mr. Sue.”

She closed her cell phone and was about to head downstairs when her pace was interrupted by a sudden question.

“Su Wanqing, did Second Brother spend the night in your room last night?”

Qi Jiajia appeared like a ghost, her eyes flashing with undisguised jealousy.

“Does he need your permission to spend the night anywhere?”

Without her elders present, Su Wanqing nonchalantly sneered back, “If you have the heart to warm the bed for him, you can directly propose it.”

“Hmph, I’m not going to be shameless like some people!”

Qi Jiajia skimmed her mouth, her eyes filled with contempt for Su Wanqing.

“Actions like offering up courtesies on your own initiative is something only someone like you can do.”

Her words were full of disdain.

Facing such a provocation, Su Wanqing’s face sank, “A person like me? Rather, it’s your words that sound more like you’re insinuating Aunt Qin.”

Qi Jiajia’s face suddenly changed, and she rebuked in annoyance, “Don’t you dare bring my mom and me together, you’re worthy of it!”

“My mother is Mrs. Qi, and who in the entire circle of gentry doesn’t know how deeply the chairman dotes on my mother!”

“It’s nice that Aunt Qin is Mrs. Qi, but I’m also the rightful young lady of the Qi family. If we’re talking about status and not about seniority, I seem to be even higher than the three of you mother and daughter in the Qi family.”

Su Wanqing did not change her color and counterattacked without being humble, her words revealing an undercurrent that could not be underestimated.

“After all, the three of you, mother and daughter, don’t have much substantial property.”

She turned her words around, not moving to reveal where her opponent’s weaknesses lay.

Auntie Qin may have thought she could rely on Qi Wenfeng, but she didn’t realize that he himself was still in a stormy situation and couldn’t take care of himself.

“By the way, have you asked the price of that purple-decorated porcelain you were looking at yesterday?”

Su Wanqing deliberately changed the topic, with a hint of flirtation and sarcasm hidden in her words.

“Hmph, so what if it’s more expensive? My dad loves my mom to the bone, so much so that he laughs at my daughter’s preferences, and a mere amount of money is nothing in front of this deep love.”

The corners of Qi Jiajia’s mouth rose, her eyes glittering with complacency, “Unlike some people, although topped with the honorable title of young lady, it seems that not even a single thing of the heart has been touched, how sad.”
