Chapter 689 - Being Caught

Shao Xue and Xiao Hong made an appointment at a cat cafe in the suburbs.

Students and cat lovers were regulars here.

Xiao Hong had not been to such a place before. When she arrived, she was attracted by these lazy and cute furballs right away.

Shao Xue gently patted Xiao Hong’s shoulder.

Xiao Hong came back to her senses and recalled the purpose of this meeting. She asked Shao Xue, “Where are we sitting?”

“Let’s go upstairs.”

Xiao Hong followed Shao Xue into a small compartment with a curtain.

Three lovely Persian cats were playing with a white wool ball inside.

Shao Xue crouched down and touched a cat’s head.

Xiao Hong asked her, “How are you doing? What do you want to see Manager Song for?”

“I feel something weird.”

“What is it?” Xiao Hong asked Shao Xue.

Shao Xue was puzzled, “Why isn’t Yunxuan here?”

Xiao Hong said, “Manager Song said she couldn’t meet you in this sensitive period, so she sent me here. Before I come, she told me to be careful about stalkers.”

What Xiao Hong said reminded Shao Xue. She associated with what happened when she met Song Yunxuan yesterday, frowned.

Suddenly, she realized why Shao Tianze was so anxious to find her a boyfriend.

Did Shao Tianze find that she had contact with Song Yunxuan?

However, characteristically, he should have got rid of her as soon as he had found it. It was not like him to be so indecisive and he just wanted to get her married.

Shao Xue frowned and pondered.

Xiao Hong noticed Shao Xue falling into silence. She asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Shao Xue stood up and sat on the sofa.

A girl in the maid outfit came in and took their orders.

Shao Xue and Xiao Hong both ordered the caramel coffee. They waited for the maid to go out.

The maid did not stay long. When she went out, she closed the door for them.

Xiao Hong was cautious. Coupled with that Song Yunxuan had instructed her to be more careful, she checked the room before starting to talk, “Is there anything you want to say to Manager Song?”

“Shao Tianze plans to get me married. He is looking for a good husband for me.”

Xiao Hong twisted her eyebrows immediately, “He wants you to be married?”

“Yes.”

Shao Xue nodded.

Xiao Hong was confused, “I have no idea of this. Why? The Shao enterprise is in crisis, but he places his attention on your marriage?”

“Maybe he got suspicious about me. He wants me out of the Shao Family.”

Xiao Hong also figured it out, frowned.

This was it.

“I was Gu Changle’s eyesore. But since I protected Shao Tianze last time, I had gained his trust. Gu Changle failed to turn him against me.”

“What happened now?”

Why did Shao Tianze change his mind?

Shao Xue said, “Gu Changle must get something on me and successfully persuade him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t bring this up.”

Xiao Hong frowned, “I’ll talk to Yunxuan.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Hong asked, “Who did your brother choose?”

“He’s asking for my opinion. He hasn’t decided yet.”

Hearing this, Xiao Hong thought it was necessary to tell Song Yunxuan sooner, “I’ll have coffee next time. I need to go back and talk about it with Yunxuan first.”

Shao Xue did not hold her back. She nodded, “Go ahead.”

Xiao Hong got up from her seat and left.

Xiao Hong went out early and went back early.

She did not return to the company but went to the Song house.

When the housekeeper said that Xiao Hong was here, Song Yunxuan knew that something urgent was happening.

Xiao Hong had to tell her as soon as possible.

As expected, Xiao Hong said to Song Yunxuan the moment she walked in, “Manager Song, things are a bit tricky.”

“What happened?” Song Yunxuan asked Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong answered, “Shao Xue told me that Shao Tianze wanted to get her married.”

Song Yunxuan slightly lowered her eyes and was certain of her judgment, “Shao Tianze starts to suspect Shao Xue.”

“Is Shao Xue still safe in the Shao Family?”

Xiao Hong was worried about Shao Xue’s safety.

Song Yunxuan said, “It’s not too dangerous yet because Shao Tianze just wants to get her married and drive her out of the family. If he considers her as a great threat, he would have done something crueler.”

Shao Tianze was certainly not a good man.

Now that Shao Xue was a threat to him, he must have thought of many ways.

It must be Gu Changle who came up with this idea of using Shao Xue’s marriage.

Song Yunxuan dug into it on her own. Xiao Hong said, “Shao Xue is not in love. If Shao Tianze really forces her to marry someone, I’m afraid she will be destroyed for the rest of her life.”

Song Yunxuan did not deny it.

Indeed, Shao Tianze surely would not choose an excellent husband for her.

If Shao Xue really got married, she wouldn’t be happy all her life.

“Did he name someone?”

Song Yunxuan asked Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong said, “He hasn’t named anyone yet.”

Song Yunxuan sighed, “Since there is no candidate, he can’t drive Shao Xue out for a while. You don’t need to worry about her for the moment.”

“But...” Xiao Hong was still worried. “He will find one someday, sooner or later.”

Listening to Xiao Hong, Song Yunxuan suddenly asked Xiao Hong, “Editor Xiao, what do you think of the Luo Family?”

Xiao Hong was slightly surprised, “Which Luo Family?”

There was no powerful family named Luo in Yuncheng.

Song Yunxuan talking about the Luo Family all of a sudden stunned Xiao Hong for a while.

Hearing her question, Song Yunxuan suggested, “Not the Luo Family in Yuncheng, but in Harbor City.”

Xiao Hong was surprised with a wide-open mouth, “But... The young master of the Luo Family is difficult. I heard that he had a reputation for sleeping around...”

The well-known families in Harbor City were more than those in Yuncheng.

Although the Luo Family was one of the few prominent families, its current successor, the young master, was a disreputable dandy.

Xiao Hong had heard about Childe Luo at one point. Now Song Yunxuan mentioned him. She could not help but frown, “Manager Song, you are saying...”

“Exactly.”

Song Yunxuan was not subtle about it, “Call Mei Qi here. I want to see him now. He needs to go to the Harbor City.”

Xiao Hong knew that it was urgent, so she went directly to the Song enterprise without objection.

After Xiao Hong left, Song Yunxuan gently knocked on the table and carefully recalled what had happened to her contact with Shao Xue. What caused Shao Tianze’s suspicion?

However, she wasn’t able to think of anything after ruminating over every detail.

She became even more confused.

Mei Qi came to her once Xiao Hong told him Song Yunxuan wanted to see him.

The moment he entered the Song house, he heard Song Yunxuan was ordering a servant to get the passport for her.

Mei Qi was startled, “Where are you going, Manager Song?”

“Let’s go to Harbor City.”

Mei Qi was more confused, “Why should we go there?”

“Didn’t Xiao Hong tell you?”

Song Yunxuan asked Mei Qi.

Mei Qi answered, “Assistant Xiao told me that you needed to see me for something urgent. She didn’t mention what happened.”

Song Yunxuan said with a smile, “She is really tight-lipped.”

She liked such people.

But Mei Qi needed to know the purpose of their visiting Harbor City. Song Yunxuan explained, “Shao Tianze began to suspect Shao Xue. He may find a carp to be her husband. I don’t want it to happen to Shao Xue.”

Mei Qi understood it, “Which young master in Harbor City are we going to visit?”

“What do you think of the Luo Family?”

Song Yunxuan asked Mei Qi.

Before Mei Qi could say anything, a voice came from upstairs, “That little devil is not a good man. How could you let Shao Xue marry him?”

Zang Linger was dragging a suitcase.

Seeing this, Mei Qi could not help but laugh, “Miss Zang, do you finally miss home?”

Zang Linger smiled, “I’m not missing home. I just have a feeling that something interesting is going to happen in my hometown.”

“You won’t miss the fun, will you?”

Song Yunxuan evaluated.

Zang Linger did not deny, “Let’s go. Aren’t you going to Harbor City? I’m coming with you.”

Song Yunxuan turned to Mei Qi, “We have already packed up. You should pack your things. Let’s set off.”

Mei Qi sighed, “In such a hurry.”

Hearing this, Zang Linger said, “This is about a girl’s marriage. Unlike yours, it can’t wait.”

Song Yunxuan agreed with her.

She said, “Assistant Mei, hurry up.”

Mei Qi had to nod, “Okay, as you wish.”

After saying this, he went back home for his passport.

Song Yunxuan turned to Zang Linger upstairs, “Do you know the Childe Luo?”

Zang Linger knew that Song Yunxuan was going to let her introduce them to him.

She nodded, “Yes, I do.”
