In the living room on the first floor of the Su residence.

Su Zheng looked at Kong Yue, who was handing him his briefcase, and said with a smile, “You can rest assured now, right? Su Xing already said that there’s nothing going on. Only the few of you only know how to protect her every day. Aren’t you afraid of spoiling her?”

The brothers sitting on the sofa beside him shrugged, expressing that it was none of their business. So what if they doted on their sister a little? It wasn’t illegal! Besides, their fifth brother didn’t seem to mind his injury!

Kong Yue glared at him lightly. “Qingqing isn’t the kind of person who will be spoiled!”

“Mommy, you and the four of them…” Su Xing glanced at his brothers who were sitting in the living room and said, “Don’t be so cautious around Su Qing. It’s not good for you to only know how to protect her. We have to treat her like how we usually do. Didn’t you do well in the beginning? Why is it that you can’t do it this time?”

Su Zheng patted Su Xing’s arm. “Alright! Do you think your mother doesn’t understand these principles? She just can’t do it because she loves her daughter! Although it’s the weekend today, Chairman Zhou’s cocktail party is also very important. Let’s hurry over after the meeting!”

Su Xing nodded and left after Su Zheng.

Su Zheng didn’t know what kind of terrifying scene he would experience with Su Xing later, so much so that he wouldn’t be able to forget it for the rest of his life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Su Rui saw that his father and eldest brother had left, he turned on the television. The morning news was being broadcasted.

“Good morning, everyone. Here’s the news this morning.”

“Two days ago, three unidentified female corpses appeared in a dilapidated factory in the suburbs of our city…”

Su Rui usually didn’t care about these things. After taking a glance, he quickly switched back to the sports channel. He didn’t know this yet, but he had missed the opportunity to understand the events that were going to happen next.

For the entire day, Celine and Su Qing lived in harmony. Celine realized that Su Qing was still very trustworthy. As long as she didn’t disturb her, she wouldn’t be threatened!

This strange balance lasted until night.

When Su Zheng and Su Xing went out in the morning, they had already mentioned that they wouldn’t be coming back for dinner because they had a very important cocktail party.

Kong Yue glanced at Celine, who was sitting beside her, and asked her about Su Qing’s progress today with a smile. Celine had spent the entire day thinking about how to fulfill her agreement with Su Qing and fool the Su family, so she managed to act well.

“Miss Su is very smart! It’s just that she doesn’t seem to be feeling very well today,” Celine said with a smile. She could even cover for Su Qing by saying that, so that she didn’t need to come down for dinner.

When Kong Yue heard this, she said worriedly, “This child is always like this. If there’s anything, she doesn’t even tell her family that she’s carrying it all on her own. I’ll go up and visit her later.”

Celine was stunned for a moment. She felt that she had done something wrong. Su Qing was deliberately avoiding the Su family, but her actions seemed to have backfired!

“Actually, Miss Su doesn’t seem to be sick. She should be in a bad mood.” Celine tried to make up for it. “Sometimes, girls are like this. Adults really shouldn’t interfere too much. Miss Su is smart and quick-witted, so as parents, perhaps you should just let her do what she wants.”

Kong Yue looked at Celine, feeling that this teacher was really strange. Her words were a little incoherent, and there was no logic to them.

At this moment, Celine smiled guiltily at Kong Yue. This matter was really difficult.

At the Zhou residence.

It could be seen that Chairman Zhou had indeed been preparing for a long time for this elaborate party.

The lighting was gentle and beautiful, with soothing and relaxing music around. A large number of beautiful women and handsome men were wandering around the venue, chatting and laughing as they toasted and drank together. They were all inquiring about each other’s business.

The content was probably about the same. Today, CEO Zhang had obtained another piece of land in the suburbs. Tomorrow, CEO Li would be discussing a project with a large foreign company.

Actually, Su Xing didn’t like such events. In Su Zheng’s words, he was the person who resembled his grandfather the most in the family. He had a refined and upright aura, and was more like a Confucian businessman.

Tea or work meetings that involved exercise might suit him better.

“Daddy, drink less. Be careful, Mommy will scold you when we get back,” Su Xing whispered into Su Zheng’s ear.
