Chapter 075 Want a Slap?
As soon as Su Qiu entered the private room, her gaze swept across the faces of the people inside.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Oh~ this setup, is it... a trap?"
Lu Chen quickly pulled Su Qiu away from him, his face beaming with a warm smile, "Qiuqiu, don't say that. It's not a trap."
The elders haven't seen you for a while, and they've been thinking about you and want to come and see you.
"And this time we're here to sincerely apologize; it shows our sincerity when everyone is here."
Su Qiu sneered, her laughter filled with undisguised mockery.
She ignored Lu Chen's solicitousness, walked straight to the head seat, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
His back was ramrod straight, and his gaze swept indifferently over the five people present.
She instantly exuded a sense of oppressive power, as if everything in the private room was under her control.
She is the queen.
Su Guowei, Liu Xiaolan, Chen Liping, Lu Zhengxiong, and Lu Chen.
The five of them looked at each other, their faces showing some awkwardness.
But no one dared to utter a word of rebuttal.
They all knew in their hearts that Su Qiu was a woman who was truly daring to take action.
A while ago, Chen Liping invited Su Qiu to her home.
The Su family was well aware that Lu Chen and Chen Liping had been beaten up.
And calling the police wouldn't help either.
The bureau chief was one of Su Qiu's people.
Su Qiu himself is mentally ill.
Moreover, it's rumored that she has a fiery temper, like a rose with thorns, and that she's reckless when she's in a rage.
She is commonly known as "Slap Sister".
Those who have experienced it know.
That's no exaggeration.
If you really piss her off, she might do something outrageous.
With her current strength, they probably won't even be able to find a place to reason with her.
What they feared even more was Su Qiu's background.
During the days when they were opposing them, they sent many people to investigate, but they only found the tip of the iceberg.
The fact that Shen Yi is openly close to her is enough to make them think twice.
Not to mention those forces hidden in the shadows, unknown to them.
The two elders of the Su family, in particular, were filled with regret at this moment.
Who would have thought that the orphan girl they casually adopted back then would actually be the big boss of the overseas Qiu Yi Group?
If they had known earlier, they wouldn't have dared to let Su Qian instigate them to sever ties with Su Qiu, even if they had the guts.
Instead, he held onto Su Qiu tightly, refusing to let go even in death.
It should still be possible now.
Su Qiu didn't speak first, just rested her chin on her hand.
His gaze slowly swept across each person's face, as if scrutinizing something.
That silent gaze was like an invisible net, making everyone present feel a tightness in their chests.
They had all prepared their speeches in their minds, but now their throats tightened.
All the words she had prepared stuck in her throat, and she even had to hold her breath.
It's been a few days.
Su Qiu became more aggressive.
It was as if they would kill someone at the slightest disagreement.
Lu Chen couldn't hold back any longer and picked up the menu next to him, handing it to Su Qiu in a softer tone:
"Qiuqiu, see what you want to eat, order whatever you like, don't be shy."
Su Qiu didn't even lift her eyelids, her tone lazy:
"How could I dare? What if someone tampered with the food I ordered? Wouldn't I be doomed?"
Or they might do something dirty, like filming a video or something, and then who am I supposed to complain to?
Lu Chen's hand froze in mid-air, and he almost lost his smile.
Su Qiu was alluding to the fact that Shen Yi had been drugged.
Lu Chen then casually took back the menu and smoothed things over, saying:
"Look at what you're saying, how could that be?"
Shall I order for you?
Just tell me what you like to eat.
Xiao Xitian rolled her eyes: "This male lead is quite the actor. Didn't he grow up with Su Qiu? And isn't he her fiancé? How can he not even remember what she likes to eat?"
"I know what Qiuqiu likes to eat."
Liu Xiaolan suddenly spoke, a kind smile spreading across her face.
"After all, I've raised Qiuqiu for over ten years, and I still remember her tastes clearly."
As she spoke, she picked up a pen and began to skillfully mark up the menu.
His eyes would occasionally glance at Su Qiu, with a hint of probing and ingratiation.
Su Qiu seemed not to hear, not even lifting her eyelids, her fingertips lightly tapping the edge of the table.
Unmoved.
Seeing this, Su Guowei also spoke up, his voice deliberately gentle:
"Qiuqiu, what mother in the world doesn't love her own child?"
Xiaolan has always kept you in her heart all these years, and so have we; we all miss you very much.
Once he started, the others followed suit.
"Yes, Qiuqiu, you and Achen were childhood sweethearts, going to and from school together, and you had a very good relationship."
Chen Liping took over the conversation, trying hard to recall the past.
I guess they've forgotten about being punished a few days ago and almost being strangled.
Xiao Xitian was furious: "Seriously, is Chen Liping crazy? How can she be so shameless?"
"I still remember when you were little, you would throw a tantrum and puff up your cheeks. It's so cute to think about now," Liu Xiaolan said, trying to build rapport.
"Qiuqiu, you are really capable, you've kept it so well hidden."
"Now that you've become a big boss, it's a real surprise for us." Lu Zhengxiong chuckled, his tone full of flattery.
"It's a huge honor for us to invite you out for dinner. Qiuqiu, you're still so loyal and righteous," Su Guowei added.
In a short time.
The private room was filled with their deliberately crafted warm conversations, repeating the same old stories and compliments over and over again.
Su Qiu remained silent, listening quietly.
His face was expressionless, but his eyes held no warmth whatsoever.
But Little Western Paradise had already exploded in her mind, angrily shouting:
"Host! They're talking nonsense!"
What do you mean by missing or longing for someone? It was clearly Lu Chen who tricked you into coming here!
The Feast at Hongmen is confirmed! These people are such a show-off; it's driving my CPU crazy!
Su Qiu paused in her fingertips, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.
Of course she knew how much of what she said was true and how much was false; it was just empty pleasantries.
Seeing that Su Qiu remained silent, Lu Chen's smile gradually faded, and he tentatively spoke:
"Qiuqiu, why aren't you saying anything? Where is it...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Qiu coldly interrupted him:
"I'm here to sign a contract, not to listen to your empty talk."
She glanced at the crowd, her gaze sharp as a knife:
"Didn't you say you'd apologize and give us the land? Where's the contract?"
"Could it be... that they haven't prepared anything?"
Su Qiu's lips curled into a dangerous smile, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.
"Or do you think you can fool me with words alone, and now you want to experience what it's like to be slapped?"
The moment those words were spoken, the air in the private room froze.
Lu Chen's face paled, and he subconsciously touched his cheek.
I can almost feel that burning pain from last time.
Chen Liping and Lu Zhengxiong exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of panic in each other's eyes.
The two elders of the Su family were even more restless, their lips trembling, but they couldn't utter a single word.
Although I've never been hit myself, I've seen others get hit.
