Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite
Chapter 332 - 117: The Robber
CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 117: THE ROBBER
"Godfather has given up on cooperating with the Fei Family?" Chang Chi couldn’t believe that Su Qingzhang, who was just persuaded by his mother last night, would actually cancel several pending projects with the Fei Family during the Su Family’s meeting.
"We are not familiar with the Seaside Resort project, so we are temporarily not considering it. The development of the new district in Mo City is also put aside for now," Su Qingzhang dismissed each cancelled project with ample reasons.
"You also attended the meeting, it seems he has made up his mind," Chang Mei answered absently, Su Qingzhang has always been very principled in handling matters, and he would never go easy on people who have wronged him.
"Real estate projects are very popular nationwide now, if the Su Family falls behind, they will suffer great losses in the future," Chang Chi didn’t care about principles, she only knew that she had previously promised Fei Qing that she would get Su Qingzhang to sponsor some election funds in exchange for a series of priority rights after Mr. Fei’s election.
"Just because your godfather disagrees doesn’t mean we have to do the same, you should pull out from the Subi Auction House now, withdraw the money you’ve earned before and add some money I have on hand, and then transfer it to the Fei Family’s account under your name." Chang Mei is a woman, she doesn’t care about men’s business, she only needs to ensure her and her daughter are worry-free in the future.
"I think godfather must have been influenced by that little bitch Yan Wuxu, last night, I saw Yan Wuxu sneaking around by the study door late at night. Mom, you should think of a plan, once that bastard is born, it will be too late," Chang Chi has not had any conflicts with Su Ziceng recently.
She hasn’t told Chang Mei about the affair with Shang Yin, subconsciously, she knows Shang Yin is not her ultimate destination. When the time is right, she will dump Shang Yin.
"It’s already too late," Chang Mei looked at the time, it was already past three in the afternoon, this is probably the time for Yan Wuxu to have her prenatal checkup.
In Mo City Hospital, Su Ziceng accompanied Yan Wuxu, who had just finished her prenatal checkup, out of the hospital’s main gate.
"Traffic’s jammed, the driver will arrive a bit later," Su Ziceng contacted the driver and thought about helping Yan Wuxu to the waiting hall in front to rest for a bit.
"Walk with me for a bit, haven’t moved around for a good while," Yan Wuxu knew Su Ziceng was worried about her approaching delivery date, concerned that she might give birth any moment. Only Yan Wuxu knew that her due date was fake, she had paid fifty thousand yuan to have the hospital doctor change it, and by counting the days, there should still be about a month left.
Su Ziceng also heard that it’s beneficial for pregnant women to walk a bit for easier labor. She went along with Yan Wuxu’s request and walked towards the green area outside the hospital.
As they walked, Yan Wuxu listened to Su Ziceng talk about his experiences in Japan. When he mentioned Yellow Love, Yan Wuxu interjected: "Ziceng, you’ve mentioned Mussen’s Blessing to me several times, what exactly is it?"
Su Ziceng pondered for a while, Yan Wuxu also owned a piece of Mussen’s Blessing, she had the right to know the story related to this jewelry set. He told her the complete story of Mussen and Ye Taina, but he did not deliberately emphasize Ye Taina, because in Su Ziceng’s memory, Yan Wuxu didn’t know Ye Taina.
But Yan Wuxu knew of Ye Taina, she just didn’t know there was so much story behind her. Mussen and Ye Taina’s story, most women would sigh heavily upon hearing it, lamenting Ye Taina’s heartlessness and commemorating Mussen’s deep love. And this exactly intensified Yan Wuxu’s resentment towards Ye Taina. She was already the happiest woman in the world, owning rare treasures and having a husband who cares for her, yet she still had to provoke Su Qingzhang.
Yan Wuxu’s eyes harbored some resentment, she felt tired, her body seemed to be worse than before, possibly harmed by the cigarettes. Yan Wuxu had noticed the changes in her body for a while, initially thinking it was due to poor sleep after becoming pregnant, so she had been taking nourishing soups continuously, but unfortunately, her health did not improve. Luckily, her belly did her proud, being a month behind in size but looking almost as if she was at full term.
"You sit here, I’ll go ahead and buy a bottle of water," seeing that Yan Wuxu’s movements were slow and she was sweating profusely, Su Ziceng let her sit by the flowerbed and while buying water, he also urged the driver to hurry over.
Yan Wuxu shielded her eyes from the sun, it was almost four o’clock, and they had walked for half an hour unconsciously, now some distance from the hospital. At four o’clock in May, it was still very bright outside, the sunlight made the oncoming car’s windshield quite glaring.
Another wave of pain came from her belly, Yan Wuxu instinctively touched it, the child inside her had been causing more trouble lately. For this child, Yan Wuxu cared more than anyone else, not only because he was nominally Su Qingzhang’s son but also because he carried the Fei Family blood.
Fei Qing had been bragging more than once about his father’s upcoming official fortune, Yan Wuxu also overheard the arguments between Chang Mei and Su Qingzhang next to the study.
Yan Wuxu’s hand touched her earlobe again, adorned with Orange Love carrying her body warmth. These earrings seemed as if they were born to belong to her.
From the first glance to the consequent gifts, Su Qingzhang and Fei Qing had presented many valuable pieces of jewelry, but she never took off these earrings. They seemed to have become a part of her body.
Although Ye Taina was hateful, she was clever. Women should know how to use their assets like Ye Taina did, to dazzle men completely. Only then can one achieve everything effortlessly.
The color of Orange Love intensified, and the diamonds on the earrings seemed to grow into Yan Wuxu’s flesh. In the brilliance of the diamonds, there was an unusual hint of red.
There was a sudden brightness in front of Yan Wuxu, but it wasn’t the light of the diamonds. A fierce-looking man suddenly appeared in front of her. In his hand, he held a sharp knife, and there was a smell on him that Yan Wuxu knew well, the smell of madness driven by poverty.
Yan Wuxu’s hand instinctively protected her earlobe, still bearing the "Orange Love". The weather was very hot today, and when she went out, she had tied her hair up in a bun, exposing her earrings. This person, he must have seen her earrings.
The man intending to rob had been following Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu for quite some time. These two young and appealing ladies must be wealthy.
Thus, he patiently followed them, until they reached this relatively secluded corner, after one of the ladies walked away, he stealthily approached.
"Don’t scream, are you Yan Wuxu? Su Qingzhang’s wife, Yan Wuxu?" The man was obviously robbing for the first time, his hand trembling with the sharp knife.(To be continued.
