CHAPTER 177: CHAPTER 39: THE TRAP

"Ziceng, I’m sorry," as soon as she entered Su Ziceng’s room, Yan Wuxu knelt down.

Her posture frightened Su Ziceng, who immediately grappled with her. "I... I didn’t expect Qing Chang to take a sudden detour to Las Vegas. I was unwilling at the time because the family still didn’t know. If my mom finds out that I married your father, she is going to kill me." Yan Wuxu’s face was full of remorse, tears in her eyes, sobbing.

"Forget it, I’ll talk to my aunt," through the recent gestures of Chang Mei, Su Ziceng realized that Chang Mei was truly the mistress of the Su Family. Even with Yan Wuxu now being the legal mistress of the Su Family, plus himself, it wouldn’t change the situation.

Yan Wuxu still had her head down, crying intermittently, and letting Su Ziceng explain to her mother was the best course of action. Teacher Fei Lin never mentioned in class that tears are a woman’s sharpest weapon, effective against both men and women alike.

In the study room not far from Su Ziceng’s room, "Xiao Chi, I was also confused. When she cried, I foolishly agreed," Su Qingzhang rested his leg on Chang Mei’s knee, letting her knead it while he made comfortable groaning sounds. During his time abroad, both internal and external affairs of the Su Family had been managed neatly. Su Family and he both couldn’t do without Chang Mei.

Seeing that Chang Mei showed no reaction, Su Qingzhang leaned into her ear and said: "You still don’t understand my thoughts, back then..."

"I have seen that trick of yours before, and it’s nothing new," Chang Mei set down his leg, putting a pile of documents in front of him, "Sign these documents quickly, it’s been dragged out for a good while now, a whole month of honeymoon, and it has delayed many things."

Su Qingzhang laughed, and after taking the documents, he carefully reviewed them. Chang Mei had already organized the information and basic suggestions, he only needed to give his endorsement. But Su Qingzhang still read everything from beginning to end, checked everything clearly before signing off. This is his style, meticulous in every detail.

"How is the auction house doing?" Su Qingzhang asked casually.

"Recently, we haven’t collected many suitable auction items. I’m considering whether to purchase some from overseas," Su Bi Auction House caused a sensation in Mo City only the first time, and like a stove that had gone out, it quickly lost its heat.

"Why not, let Xiao Xu take over and see. She wants to drop out of school, saying she’s afraid of being pointed at in school. It won’t be convenient for her to follow me around after dropping out. You are too busy with your work, and Ziceng and Xiao Chi also need to study," Su Qingzhang finished, then observed Chang Mei’s reaction.

"Fine," Chang Mei agreed surprisingly quickly. Since Yan Wuxu wants to take power so soon, let her have a taste of it. After all, everything of the Su Family and Su Enterprises couldn’t escape her grasp.

On Friday, Su Ziceng accompanied Yan Wuxu to Kelly Women’s College to process the withdrawal. Yan Wuxu initially intended, after dropping out, to have more opportunities to follow Su Qingzhang, but instead, Chang Mei assigned her to take charge of the Su Bi Auction House affairs. Yan Wuxu was somewhat surprised that the tasks she had heard even Su Ziceng complain about had suddenly fallen into her hands so smoothly.

Yan Wuxu and Su Qingzhang’s wedding hadn’t been officially held yet, considering that the Su Family was also a prominent figure in Mo City, the wedding had to be conducted. But Chang Mei refused to officially send out invitations, advertising all over the city, so after much deliberation, Su Qingzhang could only hold a wedding party at the Su Family home.

Before this, Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu still had to persuade Mrs. Yan. On this return trip, Yan Wuxu rode back in the Su Family’s luxury limousine. The car was also laden with many gifts bought from abroad. The car was too ostentatious, and as soon as they entered the Sixth District, it attracted a crowd of children.

Mrs. Yan had not received any news before, and at first sight of Wuxu, who got off the car all dolled up, she didn’t recognize her. Only when Su Ziceng also came down from the car did she realize that over the past month, her daughter had undergone a great change.

Towards Yan Wuxu’s hasty marriage and school withdrawal, Mrs. Yan appeared very calm, which greatly surprised Su Ziceng. The decisions made by Yan Wuxu were significant in her life, yet Mrs. Yan took an aloof attitude towards them, including her agreement to move to a new house in the Fourth District which Su Qingzhang bought for his mother-in-law. Mrs. Yan also agreed to no longer run the beach stall. Yan Wuxu did not expect things to go so smoothly, and after receiving her mother’s approval, she happily went with her siblings to distribute gifts to the neighbors.
