Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ji had just finished washing her hands. She turned around and accidentally splashed water on Zhang Guihua’s face.

She did not know that she was behind her.

How unlucky.

Zhang Guihua’s expression turned ugly for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it. She said softly, “Su Ji, I have misunderstood you. I thought that the Pei family was targeting us because they were angry with you. I was a little harsh with my words. Please forgive me.”

After she finished “apologizing”, she snorted arrogantly.

She had given her enough face by apologizing to her in such a humble manner, right?

Without waiting for Su Ji’s reply, a proud look appeared on her face. She turned around and said to Lu Ailian and the others, “what a coincidence, my granddaughter is here!”

She couldn’t wait to show off.

Su Ji looked around and put on her mask and hat again.

Lu Ailian and the others immediately followed Zhang Guihua’s line of sight.

The tall and thin girl in casual clothes, even with a mask and a hat, still looked sophisticated.

She stood at the end of the corridor and glanced at them.

She was expressionless, but she looked intimidating

As expected of a new calligraphy master that was sought after by the entire internet!

The crowd quickly gathered around.

“Oh my, this is the first time I’ve seen you in person. You’re so beautiful!”

“Does your granddaughter have a boyfriend?”

Zhang Guihua was very proud. She said to Su Ji as if it was a matter of course, “Su Ji, go with Old Madam Lu later so see her grandson. Her grandson wants to learn calligraphy, so take him as your student. You must prioritize his teaching in the future!”

Su Ji looked at Zhang Guihua and chuckled.

Zhang Guihua thought that she agreed and said proudly, “this is a great opportunity. You must seize it!”

“Who do you think you are?” Su Ji suddenly scoffed.

“I…” Zhang Guihua’s smug smile suddenly froze. She frowned. “What do you mean?”

“I mean what I said.”

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Was she really Zhang Guihua’s granddaughter?

Could it be that Zhang Guihua herself insisted on acknowledging her as her granddaughter?

Why didn’t they seem close at all?

Zhang Guihua felt the burning gazes around her, and her face instantly fell.

She lowered her voice and said, “Su Ji! Didn’t I just apologize to you?”

Su Ji slowly smiled. “Do I have to accept your apology?”

Zhang Guihua was so angry that she gritted her teeth. “I don’t care if you accept it or not. You must take Old Madam Lu’s grandson as your student! This is a great honor, how can you be so insensible?”

Su Ji was unmoved. “I have three hundred people in my class, no more, no less.”

Zhang Guihua said, “then you tutor him privately!”

“I don’t have time,” Su Ji replied.

“You!” Zhang Guihua exclaimed.

Lu Ailian looked at Zhang Guihua, who was blocking her way, and she gradually became irritated.

Didn’t that mean she wanted more money?

She pushed Zhang Guihua away and approached Su Ji with a smile. “Don’t worry, Su Ji. I will pay you generously.”

Su Ji replied, “I’m sorry. It’s not about that.”

Lu Ailian asked, “then what is it? ”

Su Ji pointed at Zhang Guihua. “It’s because of her.”

After Su Ji left, the group of old ladies who felt superior fell into a strange silence.

Everyone took a step back quietly and put some distance between them and Zhang Guihua.

Zhang Guihua was embarrassed to death.

She didn’t expect Su Ji to not give her any face even though she had apologized so sincerely to her!

The way Lu Ailian looked at her was completely different from before, even with disgust.

Zhang Guihua tried to salvage their relationship. “Well, as you said, both our names have a type of flower in it, so we are fated to meet…”

However, Lu Ailian sneered, “but your flower grows up on a tree, and mine grows in the water, so we’re not the same kind of people at all.”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left!

Zhang Guihua was so angry that she held her forehead. She took out her phone and wanted to call Su Qianrou.

But the call didn’t go through.

Su Qianrou had been calling Song Heng more than ten times, but no one picked up.

Ever since she found out about Su Ji and CEO Pei’s relationship, Su Qianrou had been trying to contact Song Heng.

She wanted to ask him if he knew about this.

Song Heng had also disappeared for quite some time.

Just as she was about to call him again, Song Heng sent her a message.

[ “Text me if you have something to say. Don’t keep calling me.” ]

[ “Song Heng, why have you been ignoring me recently? Do you know that my sister is with CEO Pei?!” ]

[ “I don’t want to talk about this anymore. Do you have anything else to say?” ]

Su Qianrou bit her lip, not knowing why Song Heng was suddenly so cold to her.

[ “Song Heng, are you going to abandon me just because I don’t look good anymore?” The doctor said that I would be fine in a year at most! Song Heng, I really like you. Can you not leave me?” ]

After this message was sent, there was no reply for a while.

Su Qianrou knew that song Heng was touched.

About five minutes later, a long reply came.

Su qQanrou read it seriously, but when she finished, she was dumbfounded…

[ “I don’t care about your looks. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to see you that day! Let me tell you the truth. I’m in a tough spot. I’ve been shut out by Blue Whale, and it’s hard for me to get a job in the future. They even asked me to compensate them with a large sum of money. If you’re willing to help me now, I’ll treat you well when I get my comeback!”

After the first message was sent, Song Heng thought about it and decided to add another message.

[ “Then, you’ll be Mrs. Song!” ]

However, just as he clicked “send,” the system prompted him with a familiar message.

[ “You have been blocked.” ]

“…”

This was not the first time he had received this message, so he understood what it meant.

Song Heng looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly.

He suddenly thought of the only girl who had treated him sincerely.

Everything was too late!

**

As it entered December, the temperature in A City dropped significantly.

At night, Xu Mingzhi was working out in the yard in her sportswear.

The child with a cat from last time greeted her again.

However, this time, he had another cat.

Xu Mingzhi replied with a smile on her face, but she was already thinking about moving.

First, it was her perverted neighbor, then it was the mysterious little boy. She could not let her daughter live in such an environment.

She was about to go back to her room to talk to her daughter about it when Wei Wei called.

Wei Wei saw something trending on the Internet and thought she should tell her boss.

Then, she could decide if she wanted to tell Ms. Su.

Xu Mingzhi’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Don’t you always deal with this?”

Wei Wei said, “this isn’t about the Xu Corporation, but the Pei Corporation.”

Xu Mingzhi was confused.

Wei Wei said, “it’s a scandal involving Mr. Pei!”
