2417 Huo Siqian’s Stress (8)
“Big Brother Yu… I…” Wei Ying stuttered; she was not prepared for this at all .
“Stop calling me like you know me, I wouldn’t have even looked at you if it weren’t for your brother… don’t be so thickfaced, alright?” Then, Su Yu got up, kicked away his chair, and headed for the door .
An immediately got up and followed after him… He knew that if Wei Ying wasn’t a woman or related to Wei Liao, he probably would’ve slapped her on the face .
Ying-Ying, what just happened, why did he get so mad all of a sudden? I thought you guys were close,” Wei Ying’s friend asked in a low voice .
“How the f*ck would I know!” Wei Ying shrieked, feeling a bit wronged .
Thanks to that outburst, Su Yu was no longer in the mood to drink at all .
“An, take me back to the mansion and then drive my car home . You can pick me up tomorrow morning . ”
Yes, Boss . ”
An didn’t say anything else upon seeing that Su Yu was in a bad mood, so he drove Su Yu back to his private mansion . After coming out of the shower, Su Yu saw a bunch of unread messages and red pockets on his WeChat .
Most of them were from artists under his label and some from his close friends .
Su Yu opened them all, and he saw Nie Lingxuan sent him a red pocket – 520 Yuan (TL Note: 520 means I love you in Chinese) .
Su Yu frowned, accepted the red pocket, and sent her 888 back .
“Thank you, President Su,” Nie Lingxuan replied with a smiley face . She seemed to be in a great mood .
“The company will treat you well if you work hard . You’re a smart girl… Don’t do what Jian Tong did . ” Su Yu rarely talked to his label’s artists that much, but he wanted to remind her .
Upon seeing his message, Nie Lingxuan sank into deep thought – what did Su Yu mean by this? Was Su Yu trying to remind her not to be so manipulative, or not to chase after him?
“Good night, President Su . ” Nie Lingxuan decided not to voice any of her questions .
Su Yu didn’t respond . He scrolled through his friend circle and clicked into Huo Mian’s profile picture . It was a photo of her family of four, and they were all wearing outfits from the Republican era .
Qin Chu was wearing a little turquoise gown while Huo Mian had on a qipao of the same color . Her hair was tied up in a Republican era bun, which made her seem more elegant than ever .
Even the twins looked so adorable in their qipao .
What a happy family of four…
Su Yu sighed . After some thought, he opened their conversation window and typed “Happy Valentine’s Day” .
However, after typing that, it seemed inappropriate, so he deleted it without saying anything to her . He knew he shouldn’t be disturbing her life . Loving her quietly was probably the best for both of them .
-Deep into the night –
Huo Siqian hadn’t been sleeping well lately; he got up and walked into his study .
Pulling open one of his drawers, Huo Siqian took out a white medicine bottle and swallowed three pills . His doctor told him to take one pill a day, but it didn’t work for him anymore… He needed a stronger dose .
He removed his gold-rimmed glasses and sat down in front of his desk . A lot of things had happened over the last few weeks, and Mo Xue’er’s death actually left him feeling a bit guilty .
He even wondered if things would’ve been different if he didn’t help her to fame all those years ago .
Ian gave him one month… And the countdown had already begun . He doesn’t have much time left .
What was he supposed to do?
“Mian… my Mian… Tell me, what should I do?” Huo Siqian asked himself as he looked at Huo Mian’s photo from high school .
