CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 38: SMOKELESS WAR (PART 2)

Shang Yin’s private yacht, better not be a pirate ship, Su Ziceng had not yet made up her mind when the phone rang again. Could it be that Shang Yin had changed his mind again?

"Miss, the master has returned, he wants you and Chang’s mother and daughter to pick him up at the airport together. He says they have important news to announce," Secretary Wang said formally, then made the same call to Chang Mei.

On Wednesday, Daquan University should also be on a break for the whole school, Su Ziceng, not in the mood to wait for the driver, just directly hailed a taxi and hurried to the airport. After the taxi entered the spacious airport avenue, Su Ziceng then remembered that Secretary Wang had used "they". Could this "they" include Yan Wuxu?

"What’s there to be nervous about?" Su Ziceng inadvertently looked at her sweaty hands, if anyone should be nervous, it should be Chang Mei. She had forgotten, the affair of Yan Wuxu going abroad, Chang Mei was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end.

So when at the airport pickup, Chang’s mother and daughter eagerly anticipated Su Qingzhang, who they hadn’t seen for months, they witnessed a pair of intimately walking couple from the exit and became instantly petrified.

Su Ziceng then found a seat, leisurely waiting for the grand finale.

"She..." Chang Mei quickly silenced herself, both mother and daughter’s gaze uniformly fell on the intertwined fingers of Yan Wuxu and Su Qingzhang. A ten carat pear-shaped diamond was worn on Yan Wuxu’s index finger, and Su Qingzhang also wore a fine quality wedding ring on his originally bare hand.

"Xiao Xu and I already registered our marriage in Las Vegas last week," with the usual commanding tone, Su Qingzhang announced, then hugged his delicate wife even tighter by his side.

He did not carry his cane because he now had the most "warming" cane by his side.

Chang Mei’s reaction was beyond Su Ziceng’s expectations. This once again showed that Chang Mei was an extraordinary woman. Su Ziceng still remembered the first time she caught Hang Yishao with another woman, she unhesitatingly slapped that vixen.

Yet, Chang Mei merely called for the driver, took over Su Qingzhang and others’ luggage, and even, arranged a separate car for Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu as the newly-wed couple.

Her composure and calmness greatly comforted Su Qingzhang. This is Chang Mei, no matter what sudden changes she faced, she could always remain composed. The only time he saw Chang Mei lose her composure was at Qiao Chu’s funeral.

Su Ziceng was assigned to ride in the car with Chang’s mother and daughter. She didn’t want to sit too close to them, so she took the front seat. Along the way, one could see the passing scenery, willow trees flying, a few early-returning swallows darted under the green branches, appearing specially to add to the lively scene.

Chang Chi held back for a while, then looked at the silent Su Ziceng in the front seat, seeing her expression as if nothing was unusual, he was even more certain that Su Ziceng knew about the marriage beforehand, and might have even played a part in it.

The extent of Su Ziceng’s surprise regarding this marriage was only slightly less than that of Chang’s mother and daughter. In her heart, she vaguely felt pity for her mother Qiao Chu, realizing how fragile human love could be. Just over a late winter and early spring, everything had changed.

"Mom, you should say something. You’ve served the Su family for decades without recognition, and now that little vixen has gotten the upper hand," Chang Chi felt threatened as recently, Hang Yishao had been behaving abnormally, he began dating some girls and treated her indifferently. Now, Yan Wuxu had even ascended to the position of the mistress of the Su family, everything happened too fast.

Su Ziceng, through the reflection of the car mirror, observed Chang Chi’s reaction. The quadruple mirrors cast a pair of cold eyes, Chang Mei’s eyes. Just like a pond of dead water in winter, utterly ripple-free. "Things have just begun, I’ve served one lady of the Su family, I wonder how long this one will last." Chang Mei also looked out the window, just as an insect unknowingly crashed into the window, shattering to dust, with yellow-green liquid flowing out.

After arriving at the Su family’s residence, Su Qingzhang handed over the matters to Chang Mei and went to the study to deal with official business. The huge change in Yan Wuxu’s status upon her return surprised the servants. Chang Mei then ordered, cleaned up an empty room, stating it was for the new lady. "Remember, arrange the young lady’s room properly, the dressing room and shoe closet must not be neglected, the young lady truly has a lot of clothes." Chang Mei’s deliberate instructions made the maids grin but dared not laugh.

"No need, just one room with the master is enough," Yan Wuxu saw all this, cautiously glanced at Chang Mei. Sleeping in separate rooms right after marriage, how could the relationship last, Chang Mei was indeed bullying her for being young and naive.

"I forgot to mention to the young lady, Qingzhang’s leg is not too good, after the deed he likes to sleep alone, and it’s been arranged like this for several women in the past, and sometimes his leg hurts, needing someone to massage it, and also needs someone to accompany him," Chang Mei spoke with the same expression.

The ambiguity in Chang Mei’s words still made Yan Wuxu blush. Su Qingzhang’s side was never short of women, but none had ever really moved into the Su family’s mansion before, this point, was the fundamental base for Yan Wuxu’s survival.

"Thank you, Secretary Chang, for the reminder," Yan Wuxu looked towards Su Ziceng, she had been avoiding looking directly at Su Ziceng before. During the conversation with Chang Mei just now, Su Ziceng had not spoken, she didn’t know if Su Ziceng would think like Chang Mei, resenting her for usurping the position of the lady of the Su family.

"Then please arrange it, Secretary Chang, Xiao Xu and I still have some things to discuss," Su Ziceng finally spoke up. Hearing the phrase Xiao Xu, Yan Wuxu’s eyes immediately moistened; Ziceng held no grudges against her, at least in the Su family, besides Su Qingzhang, she had another person to rely on.
