Mu Yizhou had already succeeded. At this moment, the first elder and Dugu Heng could not change Su Huiqing’s decision no matter what.
Dugu Heng stood by the side and watched their movements. His eyes darkened. “Since you have decided, I will not stop you.”
The first elder glanced at Dugu Heng and didn’t notice any obvious emotions on his face. He then said to the rest of the people in the hall, “Go back and rest. There are still competitions tomorrow morning.”
His cloudy eyes did not show the changes in his emotions.
Su Huiqing lowered her eyes and smiled. She glanced at the first elder before extending two fingers. She held the contract and stuffed her other hand into her pocket.
She lazily followed Dugu Heng. The people in the hall looked at that lazy back view and exchanged glances.
Seeing that she had left, the second elder placed the back of his hand behind his back. “Dugu Heng’s brilliant life was ruined by two women. It’s a pity that an S-rank talent like her is too incompetent!”
When the others heard this, they didn’t say anything but looked at Su Huiqing’s back view as though she was a fool.
Right?
After taking over a company that everyone knew would lose money, this Missy thought too highly of herself. She was indeed crazy.
The second elder’s evaluation was very reasonable.
“Second elder, don’t go overboard.” The first elder placed the teacup in his hand down. When he heard the second elder’s words, he frowned. “She is the Eldest Missy after all.”
Today’s incident was obviously the second elder conning Su Huiqing.
“First elder, you were clearly on my side previously.” The second elder tilted his head and asked someone to light up a pack of cigarettes for him. His face was cold. “Don’t blame me for not reminding you.
“Although she is talented, she has already passed the best age of training. The family head is crazy. Don’t make a decision that you regret.”
The first elder glanced at the second elder. This time, he didn’t speak. After that conversation with Su Huiqing, he had sent someone to investigate Su Huiqing and quickly found the miracle doctor badge.
The first elder just stood up and left.
The second elder watched as the first elder left and puffed out a puff of smoke. Amidst the smoke, the corners of his lips curled up in mockery.
At the same time, Su Huiqing and Dugu Heng also returned to their temporary residence. A chess table was placed before them.
Dugu Heng picked up the black piece and placed it aside. He said calmly, “I can help you find a decent company. Why did you have to go through the second elder’s provocation?”
He narrowed his eyes. In his eyes, Su Huiqing was not such an irrational person.
Su Huiqing placed one hand on the stone table and picked up a white piece with the other. “I know my limits.”
A piece was put down very quickly.
“Tomorrow’s competition is very important. It means that you can enter the training grounds.” Dugu Heng put down another piece and looked up at Su Huiqing. “You will definitely go against Dugu Xing. They will probably do whatever they can. You must do your best. You can’t just give up.”
Dugu Xing was one of the two great geniuses of the Dugu Family; the other was Dugu Ji-An.
Dugu Heng had no idea how powerful Su Huiqing was. It was only that particle gun that left a deep impression on him. When he placed down his piece, he said, “Dugu Xing is the second most powerful member of the Dugu Family.
“You haven’t trained with her before so it’s normal for you to lose to her. I hope you will prioritize your own safety tomorrow.”
Su Huiqing twirled her black hair with her fair fingers. She didn’t speak but just lowered her pitch-black eyes. No one saw the cold glint in them.
Bang!
The white piece in her hand was placed down.
Dugu Heng was still holding the black piece in his hand as he looked at where Su Huiqing had placed it. After a long while, he couldn’t find a place to place his piece. He sighed. “Go back and rest.”
Su Huiqing raised her eyes. At that moment, there was no longer any harshness in them, only indifference and laziness. The butler at the side could not help but rub his arm.
Su Huiqing raised her hand and said ‘good night’ to the two of them before leaving with her phone. She still had to discuss with Uncle Chen about the pharmaceutical company.
From Dugu Heng’s point of view, he could see her lowering her eyes as she walked forward and opening her phone. The light shone on her face, and it was obvious that she was texting someone.
Dugu Heng retracted his gaze, lowered his head, and looked at the game of chess on the table. He couldn’t help sighing.
Life was like a game of chess. From such a game of chess, one could tell that the person playing chess was very decisive.
Such a person was nothing like this in any way.
Dugu Heng’s eyes were filled with regret. Only after Su Huiqing left would he show such an expression. He was afraid that she would overthink things.
How could he not feel pity?
An S-rank talent had wasted twenty years just like that. She had lost the best time to cultivate. Now, she was a decade behind others and was no different from an ordinary person.
His daughter should have stood at the top. She should have been more dazzling than anyone.
“Master, Missy has really messed up this time.” The butler stood behind Dugu Heng. Seeing that he didn’t try to persuade her, he couldn’t help but say, “As you know, that company is a rotten apple, especially with the existence of the Ye Family.
“It’s a problem to make up for the losses first. With the current situation—even if Missy can stop the losses, she won’t be able to profit in the short term.”
Dugu Heng collected his thoughts and narrowed his eyes. He knew this better than the butler. “Have you forgotten where the Su Family used to be? Have you forgotten what she does? Have you forgotten why Apollo made a fighter jet to fight Song San?”
In the Dugu Family—other than Dugu Heng, he knew Su Huiqing the best. Upon hearing Dugu Heng’s words, he suddenly reacted.
Green City was just a small city in Country Z. To be able to move the Su Family from Green City to the International Association and even gain a stable footing in the International Association, it was enough to prove one’s capabilities.
Especially since the butler had always been by Dugu Heng’s side. It was hard for outsiders to know, but he knew that some of his friends: Dugu Yusheng, Apollo, and even Gideon…
Every one of them was a big shot in the International Association.
The next day was a well-known competition. This time, it concerned the Dugu Family’s trial grounds. Everyone thought highly of it.
This matter was originally an internal affair of the Dugu Family, but today, it attracted the attention of countless people. The major families also had various discussion forums, and the guards of the Dugu Family were all broadcasting this competition online.
The other families heard it, and some came to watch the battle.
Yu Shiyue was one of them.
“Didn’t you guys already book your spots?” Yu Shiyue placed his hands behind his back and looked down at Dugu Xing.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Xing only shook her head with a hint of bitterness in her voice. “You don’t know that the head of the family wants to give the slot to Missy. The second elder is arguing for me. In the end, Missy decided to compete with us to obtain the slot.”
Yu Shiyue frowned. The last time, Su Huiqing’s beautiful image was destroyed in his eyes. “How could the Dugu Family Head be so foolish? He actually wanted you to give up your spot? How could he not know how important this resource competition is?
“You are the Dugu Family’s biggest weapon this time, and yet he still let an ordinary person go to the training grounds?”
Dugu Xing sighed and remained silent.
“Miss Xing, what are you afraid of?” The guard beside Yu Shiyue couldn’t help but speak up. “Your Missy Dugu is such a fool. How dare she declare to compete with you? Is her brain kicked by a donkey?!”
Quite a number of young disciples actually came to watch this competition. Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Who was Dugu Xing? She was one of the two great geniuses of the Dugu Family. Her bloodline rank was B, and it was rare for them to have such a talent. She was one of the top few in all the aristocratic families. In the previous competitions, she was even more outstanding.
She was the publicly acknowledged potential stock. Her future was limitless.
Not only was Dugu Xing popular in the Dugu Family, but she was also very popular among these families.
Only second to Dugu Ji-An. However, because Dugu Ji-An was not in the International Association all year round, Dugu Xing was more popular than Dugu Ji-An.
No one could deny that if this continued, Dugu Xing would take over as the next family head.
As for that Missy Dugu who had just returned, she had stayed outside for nearly twenty years. Putting aside the fact that she didn’t have any spirit energy in her body, she might not even be able to climb up the competition stage.
However, such a person actually wanted to compete with Dugu Xing? And it was her own request?
Hearing Dugu Xing’s words, the other families standing beside her couldn’t help but laugh.
