When Su Yan hung up the phone, Shi Qing’s expression turned ugly.

As Shi Qing’s top assistant, Xu Xin immediately asked, “Boss, what’s the matter?”

“Investigate Huo Nan’s mother and take care of her.”

Xu Xin immediately understood what was going on.

Hence, as the head of the sales department of a listed company, Zhao Ling was extremely busy these few days.

She either lost the deal that was just agreed on, or her former customers ran away. Even her life was not smooth. She lost her bank cards, her cell phone, and even her identity card and household registration booklet. There was even a long queue of people going to the household registration center to make up for it.

“Are you in some trouble?”

Zhao Ling, who had just started eating her breakfast, was startled. She looked up and saw a man in a flowery shirt standing beside her, smiling at her.

“Who are you?”

Flower Shirt said, “You don’t have to ask who I am. As long as you trust me and do as I say, all your difficulties will be solved. Your career might even improve.”

Zhao Ling widened her eyes and asked cautiously, “Are you serious?”

Flower Shirt nodded.

Almost instantly, Zhao Ling, who dreamed of becoming rich every day, believed in the Flower Shirt man’s words and prepared step by step according to it.

“But what does this have to do with that b*tch Su Yan?” After she received the request to invite Su Yan out, Zhao Ling was stunned. She was very unwilling to interact with Su Yan.

However, the person on the other end only smiled and said, “You don’t have to care about that. You just need to know that if you ask Su Yan out, you can get millions, tens of millions, or even an unimaginable amount.”

Millions, tens of millions! The amount of money dazzled Zhao Ling’s eyes. She did not even want to think about how she could get so much money by asking Su Yan out. At the thought that there would be tens of millions of money waiting for her in the future, Zhao Ling immediately forgot her prejudice against Su Yan. She only felt that Su Yan was a shining money tree.

“Xiao Yan, it’s like this. Auntie twisted her ankle outside. Can you come and pick me up?” Zhao Ling felt that based on Su Yan’s infatuation with Huo Nan, she would definitely not reject her. She did not even think before making this call, she even found such a casual and simple excuse.

Su Yan felt that something was amiss. Zhao Ling was such a proud woman. After hearing her rejection a few days ago, she should not be so warm towards her anymore. But what was going on today? A dog cannot change its ways of eating shit? “Sorry, I’m still underage and don’t have a driver’s license.”

Zhao Ling choked and said, “The Su family is so rich, you should have a chauffeur right? Let the chauffeur send you.”

“Ah, Auntie, you’re very rich too. Why don’t you take a taxi? I still have to study. That’s all for now.” Su Yan hung up the phone.

Zhao Ling gritted her teeth in anger but there was nothing she could do. When she thought of the tens of millions, she couldn’t even be angry anymore. At the thought of this, the corners of Zhao Ling’s lips curled up. She remembered that Su Yan was the most filial person. As long as she persuaded Father and Mother Su, wouldn’t she be able to ask her out? Zhao Ling immediately called Father Su and Mother Su and agreed to have dinner together. She even emphasized that they must bring Su Yan along.

Seeing her mother’s angry expression after hanging up the phone, Su Qian asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

Mother Su looked at her little white flower-like daughter and sighed. “Huo Nan’s mother asked us out for dinner tonight.”

Huo Nan! This was the only name that remained in her mind, and a smile appeared on Su Qian’s face. “Let’s pack up and leave.”

“Your leg hasn’t recovered yet, so why are you going out?” Mother Su gently scolded as she touched Su Qian’s ankle that had already recovered. “I wonder if you will have any side effects in the future.”

Seeing that she no longer had a chance, Su Qian quickly said, “I’m fine. My leg is fine.”

Mother Su looked suspiciously at the agitated Su Qian with a confused expression.

Realizing that she had just lost her cool, Su Qian quickly said, “I’m just tired of staying in the hospital and want to go out for a breather. Mom, just promise me.”

“Really?”

Su Qian’s expression did not change. “It’s really fine. If you don’t believe me, look.”

Seeing that Su Qian was fine even though she was jumping around on the floor, Mother Su was finally convinced that Su Qian was really fine. She told Su Qian to pack her things in the ward and went downstairs to settle the discharge procedures.

After Mother Su left, Su Qian put away the innocent expression on her face and her expression turned cold. If it was in the past, Su Qian would have told Mother Su about her relationship with Huo Nan. However, Mother Su’s attitude towards Su Yan was overly flattering a few days ago. There was even a mysterious person who said something ambiguous on the day he was hospitalized.

Su Yan’s status was different now.

She then thought about the crippled man beside Su Yan. She had heard that he was extremely wealthy.. Su Qian gritted her teeth and felt that a cripple like him was not a bad thing.
