Chapter 126 - Embarrassed

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Celine finally realized what Su Qing’s true intentions were. She was kept alive just because it wasn’t convenient to kill her.

She tried her best to calm herself down. When she looked up at Kong Yue again, she had already restrained herself. “I’m fine, Mrs. Su! I just lost a ring in the corridor, and the lights weren’t very good, so I had to kneel down to look for it!”

Kong Yue looked at her doubtfully and didn’t say anything.

Didn’t Celine claim to be the best teacher in the country? Was that the best etiquette?

Celine looked at Kong Yue’s expression and felt a little guilty. Such a reason was indeed a little lame, and it was only right that Kong Yue didn’t believe her. She added, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Su. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

She smiled apologetically, as though she was really sorry for her rudeness just now.

Kong Yue nodded as if she believed her.

Then, she asked, “Did you keep knocking on Qingqing’s door just now?” She glanced at the time and continued, “Isn’t it too late today? Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Let’s not disturb Qingqing’s rest now, alright?”

When Celine heard this, she quickly nodded in agreement. “Of course. Rest is very important! I’ll go back to my room first. Goodnight, Mrs. Su.”

“Okay, good night.” Kong Yue looked at Celine’s departing figure and felt a little strange. Was this Celine so warm and polite when she came in the afternoon? Could she have taken the wrong medicine?

Kong Yue shook her head and shook off this strange thought. She turned around and walked back into her room.

Su Zheng sat on the bed and asked, “What’s wrong? Who were you talking to just now?”

“It’s Ms. Celine! When I went out, I saw her crawling all over the corridor. She said that she lost her ring and was looking for it.”

As Kong Yue spoke, she lifted the blanket and returned to Su Zheng’s side. “How strange. Is she really a teacher? What kind of etiquette does she teach?”

Her face was filled with confusion and dissatisfaction. She looked at Su Zheng and said unhappily, “It’s all your fault. I really don’t know what you’re in a hurry for. If this matter really diluted the relationship that we had painstakingly built up with Qingqing, I won’t let you off!”

Su Zheng looked at Kong Yue in amusement and explained, “I just happened to mention it to our eldest son. He said that he happened to meet Celine at the place he was going on a business trip, so he brought her back with him. It was really a coincidence!”

Kong Yue looked at him in disbelief. “Really?”

Su Zheng smiled helplessly. “Why would I lie to you? There’s no need!”

That was true. There was indeed no need for him to lie to her. Moreover, his ultimate goal was to make Su Qing better, so there was no need to be too conflicted!

At this point, she felt that she should comfort Qingqing again. She believed that Su Qing would understand everyone’s good intentions towards her! As these thoughts filled her mind, she also slowly fell asleep.

On the other hand, Celine, who was in the guest room on the first floor, didn’t sleep at all.

The moment she closed her eyes, the image of Su Qing’s death god-like face appeared in her mind! Therefore, when everyone saw her haggard appearance the next morning, they felt that it was very strange.

Su Xing sat down on the chair opposite the dining table. When he saw Celine’s strange outfit, he asked, “Why is Ms. Celine wearing a high-collared dress on such a hot day?”

Su Rui wasn’t interested in Celine. He turned to look at the second floor. Su Qing didn’t come down today!

Yesterday, he heard that she only came out to eat a bowl of porridge, and happened to meet his father and eldest brother, who had returned with her teacher. Other than that, she didn’t even take a step out of her room.

There was something wrong with Su Qing’s state. Although it was the weekend and there were no classes these two days, wouldn’t she be bored staying in her room?

She seemed to have forgotten that she had promised him that she would go and test drive the cars with her.

Celine smiled politely. “I just came back from overseas, so I’m a little jet-lagged. I even caught a cold.”

Su Zheng glanced at her. “I’ll get the family doctor to come over and examine you later.”

Celine quickly raised her hand to reject him. “There’s no need! I’m just tired. I’ll be fine after some rest.”
