“He abandoned me to marry my sworn enemy, Cao Shiyu, and now he wants me to be his mistress. Sheng Yalun, do you think I would help you at this point?” Su Hongxing responded with a mocking smile.
“What he did was wrong. But he is sick, he doesn’t understand what love is. Maybe with some effort, you could make him fall for you. Don’t you want to see what he’d be like if he fell in love with you?” Sheng Yalun stared intently at Su Hongxing.
After being stunned for a while, Su Hongxing responded: “I can help you, but there’s a condition – you need to give me 5 million first, and this deal cannot be revealed to Ye Qilan. It’s my only requirement!”
The check and bank card that Cao Shiyu gave her were confiscated by Ye Qilan. She had no money and now she needed it for settling affairs for Granny Jiang and Jiang Su.
Sheng Yalun looked at Su Hongxing pensively: “Don’t you want to stay by Qilan’s side? You must know that as long as he has interest in you, you will be well-taken care of. Being his mistress… isn’t that bad of a deal…”
“Whether I stay or leave, that’s my business. Sheng Yalun, I’m not scared to tell you, now all I care about is money. If you give me money, I will help you. It’s just that simple. 1’11 give you 24 hours to consider, don’t keep me waiting after that.”
Interrupting Sheng Yalun, Su Hongxing turned and walked away.
After being lost in thought for a while, Sheng Yalun went to Ye Qilan’s office for a chat. Ye Qilan seemed rather distracted.
Seeing Ye Qilan frequently checking his watch, he was quite puzzled, “Are you waiting for someone?”
“19 minutes have passed, why is she not back yet?” Ye Qilan murmured to himself.
Sheng Yalun understood that ‘her’ in Ye Qilan’s words referred to Su Hongxing: “Do you like her that much?”
“If I didn’t like her, why would I keep her by my side?” When 20 minutes were up, Ye Qilan decided to leave his office in search of her.
When he decided that Su Hongxing was not in the building, and that she wasn’t answering his calls, his face darkened.
He turned to Sheng Yalun: “What did you say to her, where did she go?”
He had told Su Hongxing clearly, only gave her twenty minutes. Did that woman take his words as a joke?
Or was it that Su Hongxing was fake to him, so she decided to run away now?
On second thought, Ye Qilan felt it was unlikely for Su Hongxing to run away.
Her ID and checks were all confiscated by him, even her wallet. Without money and an ID, she wouldn’t be able to leave the city anyway.
“It’s only been 20 minutes, maybe she went to the restroom, she’ll be back soon. If you keep gazing at her so intently, no one can stand it.” Sheng Yalun thought there was something wrong with Ye Qilan’s behaviour.
“Are you sure she will be back soon?” Ye Qilan asked coldly.
Seeing Ye Qilan’s ominous demeanor, Sheng Yalun dared not say any more. After waiting for another 30 minutes and still not seeing Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan’s gloomy face was something that Sheng Yalun could hardly bear to look at.
He had never seen Ye Qilan so chilling before.
“Yalun, do you think she’s up to something since she’s still not back?” Ye Qilan asked, staring at Sheng Yalun.
As a psychologist, Sheng Yalun should be able to make a guess about Su Hongxing’s mental state from her behaviour.
“Maybe she’s just enjoying her freedom? Who knows she’s playing tricks at all?”Sheng Yalun inwardly complained as he had little experience with Su Hongxing, so he had no clue what game she might be playing..
