Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 421: Even in Her Absence, Her Legend Lives On.

The plane hadn’t even landed yet when Su Wanxin was already on full alert.

She knew that in the city she was about to arrive in, many unforeseen events would occur.

Since she had chosen to return, she must face everything, can’t shrink back, and can’t bow her head.

"You’re not stupid, just that some people are too bad," Su Yao said seriously, looking at her. "You were fighting alone before, but now it’s different, you have us."

The feeling of having someone to back you up is great. Su Wanxin exhaled with relief after listening, tilted her head, and leaned on her shoulder, closing her eyes to rest.

The long flight time finally came to an end.

Su Wanxin and Su Yao slowly walked out, and the end of December in Di City was especially cold.

The person who came to pick them up was Zhuo Yiqing, and this was his second time picking up Su Yao.

When Su Yao notified him, she didn’t tell him that Su Wanxin would also be coming. Thus, when he and his assistant saw them, the expression on their faces was really quite amusing.

From a distance, Su Wanxin already spotted those two men who looked as if they were struck by lightning, standing there with their mouths agape, as Su Yao whispered to her.

"The one in the iron-grey suit is called Zhuo Yiqing, a friend you knew before. His expression was just like this the first time he saw me, as if he had seen a ghost."

A smile lingered on the corner of Su Wanxin’s mouth as she approached and took the initiative to speak. "Lawyer Zhuo, long time no see."

Zhuo Yiqing was slightly taken aback but quickly responded, "President Su, long time no see."

"I’ve already reviewed the documents for the acquisition case and I think there are some issues," Su Wanxin said gravely: "Have your people ready, we need to have a meeting to discuss this."

"Okay," Zhuo Yiqing nodded, ready to turn his head and have his assistant contact his colleagues at the firm.

Seeing his reaction, Su Wanxin held back, but couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.

Did she really scare him into thinking she was Su Yao?

In fact, there are differences between her and Su Yao, they had studied their reflections in the mirror carefully before.

Their facial features were subtly different, and Su Yao had a mole between her eyebrows, which she did not. Instead, she had a cinnabar mole on her shoulder, which usually wasn’t visible.

Zhuo Yiqing, seeing them both laughing, was stunned for a moment before realizing what was going on.

"President Su, that’s quite a joke you’ve played there," he said, unable to help but laugh as well, shaking hands with Su Wanxin. "Long time no see."

"Long time no see," Su Wanxin replied with a light smile, not teasing him anymore.

The group walked out of the airport, and Zhuo Yiqing’s feelings became extremely complicated.

During the year that Su Wanxin was not in Di City, her name was still brought up from time to time.

Now that she has returned, it was an especially interesting affair.

She looked much better, the unhealthy pallor gone from her face, almost like she was a different person. The captivating charm in her eyes was inescapable.

Zhuo Yiqing observed the two women surreptitiously, not wanting to make the mistake of confusing them and cause any mix-ups in the future.

He observed carefully and then got his answer.

The demeanor was different.

Su Yao felt more extroverted, while Su Wanxin was somewhat reserved.

Su Yao was colder, Su Wanxin more charming.

They drove into the city, and Zhuo Yiqing dropped the two off at the hotel. After leaving, he thought about it and made a phone call to Zhong Xian.

He and Zhong Xian were friends even before participating in that variety show and had always gotten along well.

He knew that Zhong Xian had been looking for Su Wanxin all year, although he didn’t know the reason.

He had promised Su Yao not to reveal her and Su Wanxin’s situation, so he had kept silent for the whole year.

Everyone was guessing about Su Wanxin’s whereabouts; he had an idea, but he had an agreement to uphold and couldn’t speak up.
