CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 185: MIDNIGHT CALL

Su Ziceng didn’t know how to respond, but in the end, she agreed to Pello.

From his rare display of anger today, Su Ziceng realized that Pello was not as gentle and refined as he had initially seemed. A reasonable amount of jealousy is normal, though, and Su Ziceng believed that she had already made things clear to Hang Yishao,

She contacted the florist and asked them to stop delivering flowers. After not answering several of Hang Yishao’s calls, he seemed to have understood Su Ziceng’s intention.

That evening, Hang Yishao made another phone call to the Su Family, but cleverly did not have it transferred to Su Ziceng, instead having the butler direct the call to Su Qingzhang.

In the study, Su Qingzhang’s conversation with Hang Yishao was all heard by Pello.

Considering that Su Qingzhang spent most of his time in the study, when Yang Wuxu called to ask where to install the eavesdropping devices, Pello requested to have Su Qingzhang’s set installed there.

And the set for Su Ziceng was installed in her room. The idea of eavesdropping came from Kelson’s inspiration.

Pello frowned unconsciously while listening to the phone call, recognizing that Hang Yishao really was an unpredictable factor.

Hang Yishao’s mood was evidently affected by Su Ziceng’s repeated rejections over the past few days, and his call did not clarify the specifics of the agreement.

"Uncle Su, I hope to advance my marriage date with Ziceng. There’s an auspicious day in mid-May, and I would like to discuss the engagement matters with you."

Su Qingzhang couldn’t figure out what exactly was going on between these young people. From Hang Yishao’s recent behavior, it seems he has reversed his image as the spoiled rich kid of the Hang Family.

"Yishao, have you discussed this with your parents?" Although Hang Yishao’s marriage to Su Ziceng had been arranged since childhood, the matter hadn’t been brought up since they became adults.

"Ziceng and I are well-matched, and I believe you and my parents share this view," Hang Yishao’s answer left Su Qingzhang somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

"Then what does Ziceng say?" Su Qingzhang wondered if it was necessary to talk to Su Ziceng about this matter.

"I thought, Uncle, that you have every right to make this decision for her," Hang Yishao’s words carried discomfort, clearly having faced rejection from Su Ziceng.

"Still, we should first ask for her opinion; after all, both of you are still young," Su Qingzhang’s plan was to let Su Ziceng and Hang Yishao get married in about two to three years. Su Ziceng had gotten married at the age of twenty-five in her past life.

If Su Ziceng were as unambitious as she used to be, Su Qingzhang might agree to Hang Yishao’s request to arrange their marriage sooner, but from Su Ziceng’s recent behavior, she seemed to be increasingly assertive.

Su Qingzhang saw something different in her; the current Su Ziceng might not easily agree to her family’s arrangements.

On the other end of the phone, Hang Yishao was also pondering this issue. He had realized the change in Su Ziceng early on, which is why he felt compelled to put pressure on the Su Family.

"Uncle, Ziceng has gotten close to that man named Pello," Hang Yishao decided to lay everything on the table.

After hearing this, Su Qingzhang was also somewhat surprised. He could see that Su Ziceng already had someone in her heart, but he hadn’t expected it to be Pello.

Pello, the young man, was quick in both handling affairs and reacting. During the half year he took over as financial manager, the company’s finances had been orderly, something Su Qingzhang had seen with his own eyes.

"Have you investigated Pello’s background?" Hang Yishao could now only hope to rely on Su Qingzhang.

Pello, still eavesdropping, furrowed his brows even tighter.

"I have investigated. His background is sound, a graduate of London University, and Wen Maixue also confirmed this," Su Qingzhang did not want to be looked down upon by a junior. If not for a thorough investigation, he would not have hired a stranger to work for Su Family.

Young people often defame each other due to emotional issues; Su Qingzhang didn’t want Hang Yishao’s words to affect his otherwise pleasant cooperative relationship with Pello.

"These are the preliminary findings, but I’ve just recently received another piece of information from a friend in the military. Including his experiences before entering university, a man with dual identities as a Hunter and a sailor is certainly not simple," the military records data more comprehensively than civilian channels.
