C311 A Wise Man Is Misjudged by His Own Intelligence
"Can you tell me what happened just now?" The old lady asked her.
"Of course!" Zhao Weier could not wait to reply.
"No!" Su Pingting did not even think about it and opposed it. This Zhao Weier would definitely speak up for Yu Xiaowen and her position would be at a disadvantage!
She opened her mouth to explain for herself but what she got in return was a warning look from the old lady.
Su Pingting felt that she was right and said, "Mom, don't glare at me. It was originally you who was not fair enough. She was invited by Yu Xiaowen, how could she speak up for me?"
The old lady originally did not want to embarrass her too much. Although they were outsiders, they would take into account that they were a family and would speak tactfully. Obviously, Ping Ting didn't think of this.
Her face darkened and she said, "Then tell me who to say it to. "
"Of course it's Mr. Zhang!" Su Pingting was overjoyed beyond words. She thought that since Mr. Zhang was one of them, he would definitely stand on her side.
The old lady looked at her meaningfully and said, "Okay. Then Mr. Zhang, tell me what happened just now!"
"Yes!" Mr. Zhang answered and told Su Pingting what he saw downstairs. The more he said, the uglier Su Pingting's face became.
Mr. Zhang did not side with anyone, but because of this, the truth that he said made her seem even more vulgar and ugly. Her face turned as red as a pig's liver.
The old lady looked at her coldly, "Now you know you're wrong? Why aren't you apologizing to me!"
Apologize!
She was an elder. How could she be shameless when she asked an elder to apologize to a junior?
Su Pingting gritted her teeth and did not speak even if she was beaten to death. The atmosphere was stiff.
Zhao Weier was at a loss. She said, "Forget it. Actually, it is nothing much. "
"Look at him!" The old lady angrily scolded him.
"Who wants her fake good intentions!" Su Pingting was so angry that she stomped her feet and left. There was no door for her to apologize. She was already so old, yet she was still being taught a lesson like a child. She remembered this grudge.
"You, stop right there!" The old lady was so angry that her hands were trembling. She shouted at her back but Su Pingting did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
Yu Xiaowen looked at her and felt that she was a little pitiful. Being humiliated in front of her own child like this, she gave Yu Tong a look and the little fellow immediately shook the old lady's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandma, didn't you say that you want to bring Tong to see the daffodil in the garden? Let's hurry up and go. If we are a little late, I don't want to see anymore. "
When the old lady heard his soft and mellow voice, she no longer had any worries.
"Okay, okay. Grandma will bring you there right away!"
As she spoke, she smiled at Zhao Weier again and said, "Sorry to make you laugh. If you don't mind, stay for lunch at noon!"
"I don't mind, I don't mind. " Zhao Weier was so excited that she looked like a little pug.
"Okay, okay!" The old lady nodded and led Yu Tong towards the garden.
After the two of them walked far away, Zhao Weier said to Yu Xiaowen, "Although that aunt of yours is not very good, your old lady is very good. En, there is also the housekeeper and the housekeeper who listen to cute sounds. "
Yu Xiaowen helplessly smiled. That was because she was an outsider. She felt that it was just average. It could not be called good or bad. She didn't want to know more about it, so she changed the topic.
Zhao Weier stayed until the afternoon before she left. Su Pingting did not dare to come out to play tricks and was rather happy.
In the evening, Su Qiyang came back and she told him about Zhao Weier's arrival. He seemed to be absent-minded and after a few perfunctory words, he said that he had something to do and had to go to the study room.
Yu Xiaowen did not want to disturb him and only gave him milk and desserts in the middle.
At night, Mr. Zhang came over and said that Yu Tong slept with the old lady today and did not come back. She then went to ask Su Qiyang. He also said that he still had work to do, so in the end, she slept alone.
She missed Qing'an a little. The little girl was so young, she would always need her.
In the night, Yu Xiaowen woke up in a daze. She reached out and touched the edge of the bed. The blanket was cold, had Su Qiyang not returned yet?
She propped herself up and turned on the lamp. She realized that it was already past midnight. Why was he still busy?
Yu Xiaowen got off the bed and went to the study with her slippers. She wanted Su Qiyang to rest early so that his health was more important. She walked to the door of the study and heard voices coming from inside.
"After many investigations, we have confirmed that it was the Lu family who provided support behind the scenes. That's why those reporters fearlessly investigated and turned over the Su family's background. "
It was Wu Kui's voice. Why did he come over in the middle of the night to report any news? Yu Xiaowen could not help but stop in her tracks.
Lu family?
She remembered Su Qiyang mentioning it before. Wasn't it a neighbor? Why would the Lu family go against the Su family?
Then she heard Su Qiyang ask, "How did he know about Hee Manli?"
"It's Qiyun!" Wu Kui said, "Qiyun and Lu family's Lu Zhiang somehow became friends and were used by the Lu family. "
Su Qiyang sneered, "Did the Lu family use him, or did he use the Lu family?"
"Well. . . " Wu Kui did not know how to answer, but he thought about it and said, " However, Qiyun did get a lot of benefits in befriending the Lu family. Old master Lu brought him to all kinds of banquets and introduced him to many powerful people. "
The study fell into silence.
Yu Xiaowen, who was hiding outside the door, opened her mouth slightly. She could not believe what she had heard. How could Qiyun have anything to do with these things? Could it be that he really was like what Su Qiyang had said, from the very beginning, he had other motives for getting close to him?
In the study, Su Qiyang said, "You can go back. It has been hard on you!"
"Yes, Director Su. What about Qiyun?"
"Continue to monitor!"
Then, they heard footsteps approaching them.
Yu Xiaowen also did not know why she had to hide and heard someone coming out. She subconsciously turned around and ran. When she turned the corner, she almost got a vase. Fortunately, she held onto it in time.
She quickly returned to her room and laid down on the bed again, but she was no longer sleepy. All she thought about was the conversation between Su Qiyang and Wu Kui. She could not believe that Qiyun had a purpose to befriend her.
She really treated him as her younger brother. How could he treat her like this?
No!
Yu Xiaowen secretly made a decision. No matter what, she had to ask Qiyun in person.
At night, she did not sleep well. When Su Qiyang came back, she noticed it, but did not dare to turn around and speak. She was only passively carried into his arms.
The next day, he went out early in the morning. Yu Xiaowen only went downstairs after breakfast.
Su Pingting was eating breakfast at the dining table downstairs and when she saw her, she unhappily said, "You really think of yourself as young madam!"
Yu Xiaowen ignored him and found a servant to ask. When she found out that the butler was in the garden, she went over.
Mr. Zhang was in the garden instructing the maid to fertilize and weed the flowers. When he saw her coming from afar, he welcomed her and asked, "Young Madam, it is not convenient here. Please come back later!"
"I'm here to find you. " Yu Xiaowen directly stated her intention.
Mr. Zhang did not understand and asked, "Young madam, why are you looking for me?"
"I just want to ask. Do we have a back door or something?" She wanted to go out, but there were many reporters guarding the front door. If she appeared just like that, it would be as if she was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
She thought that Qiyang would go to work as usual every day, so there should be other ways to go. So she came over and asked.
Mr. Zhang replied, "There is indeed a back door, but there are reporters at the back door too. "
"Huh?" Did Su Qiyang rush out by force?
"Young madam wants to go out?" Mr. Zhang suddenly asked her.
Yu Xiaowen nodded.
Mr. Zhang said, "If Madam wants to go out and doesn't want to be chased by reporters, I have a way to help you. "
"What way?" She quickly asked, and a look of surprise flashed across her face.
"There will be a maid driving out to buy groceries later. Madam can hide in the back seat and not be seen. If Young Madam is willing, I will immediately get the maid to prepare it. "
It was indeed a good idea!
Yu Xiaowen said," I can. Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zhang! "
"Of course!"
With Mr. Zhang's help, Yu Xiaowen successfully exited the Su family's old residence. The maid placed her at the entrance of the coffee shop where she and Qiyun were supposed to meet. After saying a few hours to pick her up, she drove off.
Yu Xiaowen pulled up her coat and collar and walked towards the coffee shop with her feet buried.
Qiyun had arrived early in the morning. When he saw her, he smiled brightly and stood up. He said, "Sister, I really didn't expect to see you today. I was so excited that I came early in the morning. Sister, take a seat!"
As he spoke, he even walked over and personally helped Yu Xiaowen open the seat. He was very gentlemanly.
Compared to his enthusiasm, Yu Xiaowen was much colder.
Qiyun sat back down and saw that she was expressionless and not smiling at all. He revealed a perturbed expression and asked uneasily, "Older sister, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Yu Xiaowen looked at him coldly and wanted to see some clues from his expression.
It was not that Qiyun's acting was too good, but that he was sophisticated enough. She could not find any pretenses from his expression. She bit her lips and did not know who to trust.
"Elder sister?" Qiyun saw that she did not speak for a long time and called out tentatively again.
Yu Xiaowen walked out of her thoughts. She pursed her lips and said coldly: "Qiyun, why did you lie to me!"
Qiyun's heart skipped a beat. He smiled and said, "Sister, what did you say? Why can't I understand? When did I lie to you? Besides, why would I lie to you?"
His words did not sound wrong, but Yu Xiaowen's heart sank. Qiyun had given himself away. She had deliberately said those words to trick him. He plunged his head into the hole.
If he did not have a ghost in his heart, he should not have replied that way. He should have said it in a very simple and clear manner. For example, "No, I didn't lie to you!"
But he didn't answer that. Instead, he said a bunch of things in a long-winded manner.
This was probably called being smart and opposing being smart!
Yu Xiaowen had an idea in her heart and her expression became even colder. Her glazed eyes stared at him and said even more straightforwardly, "You don't need to pretend anymore. I already know. "
