CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 201: REUNION WITH AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE (PART 2)

After the incident at the Su Family, Hang’s father immediately demanded that Hang Yishao cease all contact with Su Ziceng, and Hang Yishao did not contact her again. He was afraid to hear Su Ziceng’s crying, and he was also afraid that if he could not bear it, he would once again plead for Su Ziceng to return to his side.

In fact, the biggest beneficiary of Su Fei’s power struggle turned out to be the Hang Family, which almost entirely seized control of the seaside project. The government also transferred some projects that were originally to be divided between Su Fei but had to be abandoned due to insufficient funds of both, to the Hang family.

"I came today to ask about Yan Wuxu and Fei Qing," Su Ziceng waved her hand, trying to disperse the strange atmosphere that lingered from the times she spent with Hang Yishao.

Upon hearing these two names, Hang Yishao made an "oh" sound; he should have told Su Ziceng about it long ago. At the time, he couldn’t get in touch with Su Ziceng, and now, he suddenly didn’t want to say it anymore. Rather than revealing everything, Hang Yishao preferred to listen to Su Ziceng’s voice.

The office was very quiet, with only the silent air conditioning and the occasional sound of page-turning, all that composed the entire soundscape of Hang Yishao’s working hours. But today, Su Ziceng, this reckless oriole, had barged in.

Her breathing, due to the previous intrusion, was somewhat disordered, her speech short and tinged with urgency. It rose and fell at Hang Yishao’s ear.

"Do you know something? I heard that the Hang Family is also involved in the seaside villa project. Did you buy that villa for Fei Qing?" Su Ziceng’s voice slowly calmed down, her lips still covered in a layer of sweat, glistening.

"Yes," Hang Yishao pulled out a tissue, intending to hand it to Su Ziceng, but before he could hand it over, he changed his mind.

He stood up, walked around the desk, and personally wiped the sweat from Su Ziceng’s face.

Su Ziceng slightly startled, wanting to turn her head away, but the armrest chair she sat in was held in place by one of Hang Yishao’s hands, she could only let the white tissue lightly brush across her cheek, and finally land on her lips.

As the tissue unfolded, Hang Yishao’s mouth was already close to Su Ziceng’s ear, "The child of Yan Wuxu is not Su Qingzhang’s."

That much, Su Ziceng already knew. However, why would Hang Yishao know the truth about the child being switched?

"It’s Fei Qing’s child," Hang Yishao watched as Su Ziceng’s face first turned red, then pale, waxy as if covered with a layer of cream, tempting one to take a bite.

"Fei Qing’s?" Su Ziceng’s mind buzzed as if countless tiny bells were shaking at once.

"No, that child isn’t Fei Qing’s," Su Ziceng clenched her teeth, slapping the tissue still bearing her sweat and lip-print away, the gleam in her eyes making Hang Yishao tense up inside.

Su Ziceng had become unrecognizable to him. "That child is Fei Qing’s, your father and Yan Wuxu conceived that child overseas, but they had an abortion long ago," anxious that Su Ziceng might still not believe it, Hang Yishao recounted the whole story as Fei Qing had told him.

"So that’s how it is," Su Ziceng felt remorseful for misjudging Yan Wuxu. With her deep calculations, she had deceived Fei Qing while also hiding the truth from Su Qingzhang, skillfully navigating between the Su and Fei Families, quite comfortably. If Su Ziceng wasn’t wrong, these days, Yan Wuxu must be enjoying familial bliss in the new villa with Fei Qing.

She must expose it all. Anger almost robbed Su Ziceng of her sanity, becoming agitated, her hand uncontrollably reaching for the "Red Love."

Hang Yishao’s gaze also fell on Su Ziceng’s neck. He raised his eyebrows, "Why aren’t you wearing the necklace I gave you?"

"Yellow Love," Su Ziceng was taken aback, then said with a bitter smile: "Do you think I can still wear such a necklace ostentatiously now?" The Su Family stands at the hazardous brink, how could they still wear such an astonishing yellow diamond necklace and invite resentment.

Speaking of Yellow Love, Su Ziceng suddenly remembered, "Where did you get that necklace from?"

"Fei Qing wanted to buy a villa to gift Yan Wuxu and her son. He didn’t have the money, so he stole the necklace from his father," Hang Yishao didn’t want to answer, after all, the origins of that necklace were dubious, but Su Ziceng’s earnest inquiry as she grabbed his hand, and affected by this intimate gesture, Hang Yishao told the truth.
