Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie

Chapter 406: Slap in the Face! The Real Dr. CC! (2)

Zhao Zhao had a multitude of questions, but upon hearing Luo Xinyan’s words, he still politely stepped aside to let Su Sumei enter first.

Luo Xinyan’s room was already prepared with tea; its light fragrance wafted through the air, refreshing the soul.

Su Sumei was in no mood to savor tea; she walked straight up to her, bag in hand.

"What do you mean by the message you sent? My daughter being with Young Master Yu is the best thing that could happen for me. Why should I help you with something that’s not beneficial for the Ji Family?"

"Lady Ji, we are all smart people, so I won’t beat around the bush. Ji Kaisui is your daughter, no doubt, but Ji Weitian probably means nothing to you. Are you sure her being with Young Master Yu is actually a good thing for you?"

Luo Xinyan picked up a cup of tea, gently blew away the steam, and took a sip.

She caught a glimpse of Su Sumei’s displeased expression and signaled Zhao Zhao to move forward and pull out a chair for her.

Seeing that Su Sumei did not sit, she remained calm and merely spoke lightly.

"Lady Ji, there’s no need to be formal with me. I’ve known Ji Weitian for four years now, and she has never considered herself part of the Ji Family. When the Ji Family faced troubles, she could have asked Young Master Yu to lend a helping hand, but she just stood by and watched, didn’t she? I heard that the Ji Family had to cut off quite a few branches and sell off assets to fill the gaps, but Ji Weitian did not care about your life or death at all."

"..."

"As for you, there’s no need to play the kind mother in front of me. I am well aware of your grudges. I just want to remind you, Lady Ji, that if Ji Weitian is really with Young Master Yu, powerful enough to command wind and rain, do you think you still have the capital to compete with her for the Ji Family’s assets? With the grudges between you, wouldn’t she seize the opportunity to not let you off?"

"..."

Luo Xinyan, like a skilled negotiator, gradually dug out Su Sumei’s worries and fears.

Until Su Sumei sat down in the chair in front of her, aligning herself with Luo Xinyan.

"How do you want me to help you? What’s in it for me if I do?"

"..." Luo Xinyan saw the person seated across from her and smiled satisfyingly.

Until the negotiation concluded, Zhao Zhao escorted Su Sumei out and then folded back, halting Luo Xinyan, who was preparing to return to her room to rest.

"What exactly are you trying to achieve? Even with Ji Weitian’s stepmother stepping in, at most it would make Ji Weitian a joke. For the Qin Technology Group, it’s no real harm. You have gone through so much effort, but what’s the point?"

"You will know tomorrow."

Luo Xinyan, with a secretive and unyielding look, irritated Zhao Zhao to the point of itching teeth, yet he had no choice but to follow her orders.

They were now in the same boat, and he had no alternatives.

Yet, there was still something he had to say.

"All your targeting of Ji Weitian, aren’t you afraid she won’t attend the Qin Technology Group’s new product launch tomorrow?"

If Ji Weitian didn’t show up, their efforts would be in vain.

Moreover, they would be a laughing stock!

"She will be there." Luo Xinyan picked up the last cup of tea on the table, its contents already cold and slightly bitter.

Still, she drank it all in one gulp, then forcefully set down the cup, her lips parting grimly.

"If she doesn’t come, that’s even better..."

Luo Xinyan reached for the newspaper Zhao Zhao had brought, glanced at the article about the Qin Technology Group’s new product launch, her eyes darkened, then tore the newspaper into pieces and furiously threw them into the trash can.
