Mu Yuchen!
You wicked businessman!
He always wondered why Mu Yuchen would give him such benefits. It was a trap after all!
The said benefits were not received yet, but now he was involved in this whole conflict. Was Mu Yuchen using him?
“You bastard, Mu Yuchen! Why did I believe you!? I must be mad!” Second Master Qi yelled as it dawned on him, but after that, he understood he did not have any other choice. Mu Yuchen had probably seen that and...
...
When Li Si found Ji Zitong, she was preparing to set up her store.
It was not very big. It was just a small store with the interior almost done. Ji Zitong was busy placing the flower baskets down.
Ding!
“Assistant Li? Why are you here?” Ji Zitong straightened up as she looked at Li Si in surprise.
“May I sit here?” Li Si smiled.
Ji Zitong nodded as she grabbed a towel to clean her hand and invited Li Si in. “Please come inside. It’s pretty cold out there. Things are still a little messy as we’re not open yet. I hope you don’t mind!”
“You don’t have to be so humble, Ms. Ji. It looks great.” Li Si went in.
Ji Zitong handed him a glass of warm water. “Have something warm to drink.”
“Thank you.”
Li Si took a sip before putting it aside. He took out a cheque from his briefcase and gave it to Ji Zitong. “Ms. Ji, please take this. It’s Master’s reward for you, and he has approved your resignation.”
Ji Zitong was stunned to see the large sum on the cheque. She frowned slightly before shaking her head, refusing to take the cheque. “I don’t need it. I just did my job. Please give it back to Chairman Mu. I’m just glad that Director Xi is safe.”
Li Si smiled and left the cheque on the table before her. “I’m afraid you don’t know how Master works, Ms. Ji. He’ll never take back anything that he has given out. This is what he thinks you deserve. Everyone’s satisfied with your performance, and there’s still a long future ahead, so maybe we might work together again.”
Ji Zitong pushed the cheque back. “I have my own principles as well and I only take what belongs to me. Please pass this message to Chairman Mu for me.”
Li Si looked at the aloof Ji Zitong and then glanced at the cheque again before sighing. “Ms. Ji, you impress me. If you insist, I’ll go and let Master know then.”
Ji Zitong nodded. “Thank you, Assistant Li.”
Li Si smiled as he stood up. At the same time, his phone started ringing. Li Si quickly took out his phone and noticed it was a call from Su Chen.
“Hello, Master Su Chen.”
Su Chen’s voice quickly reached him back. “Mmm, it’s me. I have something to pass to your Master. Ah Chen said you’re nearby Dong Huan Road.”
Li Si responded, “Yes, I’m at Dong Huan Road right now!”
“Give me a specific location. I’ll head over.”
Li Si walked out to the entrance and looked at the store sign covered by a red cloth. “Master Su, I’m at the second junction of Dong Huan Road. There’s an unopened flower store called ‘Smile’. I’ll wait for you right here. It’s Ms. Ji’s store.”
“Smile? Alright, I’ll be there in five minutes,” Su Chen replied before hanging up the call and continued driving his Land Rover.
“Xiao Chen, you’re getting older now. Ah Chen is one year younger than you and he’s a father already. You’re 33 this year. Aren’t you worried?” Su Yu frowned as she looked at Su Chen from the front passenger seat. She continued when he ignored her, “When I went to decorate Ah Chen’s baby room a few days ago, I heard from his grandmother that Ah Chen met with his wife through a blind date, and they are doing well together! Your brother-in-law and I are great together as well, so you don’t really have to hate the idea of blind dating so much. It’s the New Year now. You should get yourself a girl!”
It was Su Chen’s turn to frown. He did not even look at Su Yu as he retorted, “Since when were you worried about me as well? You insisted on not getting married before too. Didn’t you only get married at 30?”
“I’m not worried, but I have to listen to our parents and grandfather nag me about it. Have you ever considered how I feel? Do you think I really care about you?” Su Yu glared at her brother unhappily.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes at her before switching on the music player in the car.
“Just let them be, alright? Forced marriage is not what I want. Can you imagine waking up to a stranger that you have no feelings for at all?” Su Chen’s sharp gaze stunned Su Yu. She almost forgot her brother had always been blunt and straightforward.
“Then, list down your type and I’ll find one according to your standards!” Su Yu said.
“I’m not that free. Give me another few years.” Su Chen did not sound very interested, and his expression looked pretty unhappy as well. “Marrying for the sake of marrying is not wise. Not everyone is as lucky as Ah Chen, so it’s great if you meet the right one, but you’ll have to bear the consequences if otherwise happens.”
“But you have to give it a try in order to know if it’s the right one,” Su Yu argued.
Su Chen did not reply. Instead, he slowed down the car and then parked by the roadside. Picking up the bag beside him, he asked, “Just this?”
“Mmm.”
He got out of the car after Su Yu’s reply. Looking up, he saw the sign ‘Smile’ under the red cloth.
“Master Su!” Li Si quickly greeted him.
Su Chen looked around and was stunned for a moment when he saw the person behind Li Si.
