Chapter 041 You're Just Bored
Chen Liping's lips twitched violently. She quickly reached out and pulled Su Qian over, scolding her in a low voice:
"Qianqian, say less..."
Su Qian frowned slightly. She and Lu Chen weren't officially engaged yet, but she leaned closer to Chen Liping, her voice tinged with grievance:
"Mom, you're so kind-hearted. Su Qiu doesn't deserve your support. Don't worry, I won't let her get away with it."
Chen Liping's lips twitched again, but she tried her best to maintain the dignified demeanor of a noblewoman, and patted Su Qian's hand:
"Qianqian, say less. We are young ladies from respectable families, and we should know how to be careful with our words and actions."
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, her expression instantly stiffening, forcing out a smile that looked worse than crying.
She hates being lectured, especially by this woman who hasn't officially become her mother-in-law yet.
Many people compare her to Su Qiu.
When she first came back, her reserved and timid demeanor made Su Qiu appear noble and elegant.
Her cautiousness was interpreted as something that couldn't be discussed openly!
But fortune changes.
Now that her position has been reversed with Su Qiu's, she is the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Su family!
Su Qiu is a fake good-for-nothing!
The change in identity gave Su Qian unparalleled satisfaction to her vanity, and she wanted it to stay that way forever.
Whenever she saw Su Qiu, she couldn't help but belittle her.
The only problem is that he can't beat Su Qiu.
But behind her are Lu Chen, the Lu family, and the Su family, as well as Shen Yi, a figure feared by the entire industry.
What right does Su Qiu have to compete with her?!
"Mom is right." Su Qian gritted her teeth, thinking to herself: You old hag, wait until I marry Lu Chen, and then I'll see how I deal with you!
She transferred her hatred for Chen Liping onto Su Qiu.
It's all because of that bitch Su Qiu. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been lectured by that old woman.
Lu Chen ignored Su Qian's conversation with her mother and instead looked at Su Qiu, "Su Qiu, what are you doing here?"
I still vividly remember what happened in the director's office—the pain in my face, the buzzing in my head…
Su Qiu stepped forward.
Lu Chen assumed a defensive stance and took a large step back.
Xiao Xitian burst out laughing, "Hahaha, host, look how scared you've made the male lead, hahahaha..."
Su Qiu chuckled dismissively, "Mr. Lu, are you a police officer?"
Lu Chen subconsciously replied, "No...no."
"Why are you bothering with your mother? Are you just bored?"
"You!" Lu Chen's face twisted with anger, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything to Su Qiu right now.
Getting into a dispute with someone on Qiu Yi Group's territory would make me look cheap and cause me to lose this cooperation opportunity.
Especially Su Qiu, she has nothing, she's not worth wasting my breath on. Once I secure the cooperation with Qiu Yi, I'll deal with this woman properly.
We must make her wish she were dead.
Xiao Xitian: "Host, the male lead's gaze towards you is strange; it's like he wants to devour you."
"This is the expression a dog makes when it wants to bite."
Su Qiu rolled her eyes. "Go out and turn left, there's a trash can there. You can throw yourself in there after you've eaten your fill."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing Su Qiu's coldness towards Lu Chen, Su Qian's anger, which she had just suppressed, suddenly flared up again.
Watching Su Qiu's departing figure, she said sarcastically, "Some people just can't stand seeing others do well. When they're unhappy with their own lives, they always try to interfere in other people's affairs. They're really tasteless."
Su Qiu paused, turned around and glanced at her.
Just as she was about to speak, Su Qian immediately stopped, her eyes reddening. She turned and burrowed into Lu Chen's arms, her shoulders trembling slightly, and said in a tearful voice:
"Ah Chen, I didn't mean to say that about her, I just... I just felt wronged..."
She nestled in Lu Chen's arms, but secretly raised her eyes, looking over Lu Chen's shoulder at Su Qiu with utter defiance.
That look seemed to say, "Try touching me if you dare."
"Ah Chen..." Su Qian tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve, her voice sounding aggrieved and pitiful.
Lu Chen's heart softened at her crying, but then he remembered Su Qiu's nonchalant demeanor earlier, and felt inexplicably irritated.
He assumed that Su Qiu's presence here meant she knew he was coming to Qiu Yi Group and had come specifically to ambush him.
So he frowned and looked at Su Qiu, his tone tinged with impatience:
"Su Qiu, I know you haven't given up on me yet, but I've said it before, there's only Qianqian in my heart."
He paused, deliberately emphasizing his words, as if asserting his dominance:
"It's impossible between us for a long time. Your constant pestering only makes things awkward for everyone. I'm doing very well now, and I hope you can stay away from us and stop disturbing our lives. You're really bothering me."
Su Qiu stood there, listening to these words without any expression on her face. She felt that the way the two people in front of her were acting in concert was just like a clown jumping around.
She raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on two complete idiots, and bluntly cursed, "Two morons!"
The two people holding them were stunned. They were being insulted like this in front of so many people.
Their expressions immediately soured. Lu Chen's eyes darkened, and Su Qian's smugness froze, replaced by resentment.
Chen Liping kept a close eye on Su Qiu, afraid that Su Qiu would reveal the truth. If that happened, her plan with Brother Xiao would be ruined.
She was determined to shut Su Qiu up. Just as Su Qiu was about to leave, Su Qian called her back with a single sentence.
Chen Liping looked into Su Qian's eyes, a hint of resentment flashing through her mind.
If Su Qian weren't still useful, I would definitely teach her a lesson.
"Ah Chen, look at her attitude!" Su Qian stamped her foot. "She's clearly doing it on purpose!"
Fearing what Su Qian might say, Chen Liping immediately stepped forward and said, "Su Qiu, Qianqian is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't take it to heart or be too concerned about her."
Su Qiu knew Chen Liping's purpose: she was afraid that Su Qiu would reveal what she knew.
In reality, Su Qiu only knew that Chen Liping was the third person; as for the others, she really didn't know.
Su Qiu snorted coldly, "You're an idiot too."
Chen Liping gripped the handkerchief so tightly that it turned white, and the handkerchief became tangled together.
Just then.
Lu Chen saw Black Wolf; he had met him before at the company's IPO conference, and his name was Qiu Wolf.
"President Qiu!" Lu Chen released Su Qian and stepped forward to greet her with a gentle smile.
When the others saw Qiu Lang arrive, they immediately straightened their clothes, being meticulous in every detail.
They completely ignored Su Qiu, who was standing still.
Xiao Xitian couldn't help but complain, "What a bunch of snobs! Are these people really part of the main cast?"
Su Qiu replied instinctively, "They're all a bunch of idiots." She sat down in a nearby seat. "Little Xitian, does that Chen Liping have some kind of secret?"
Xiao Xitian: "It wasn't mentioned in the original plot; the author only briefly touched on it. We'll have to explore the details ourselves."
