Chapter 169
An Xia had no other arrangements for the weekend, so she agreed to go when Su Ziyue called her up and told her
about it.
However, when she saw Bai Jingshu sitting in the car, she was stunned. “Why are you here too?”
“You can go, so why can’t I?”
“I’m an employee of Su Group—of course I can go!”
“Oh, but did your vice president invite you personally?”
“I…”
“Get in the car. We’re running late,” Qin Muchen said, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
However, after both of them entered the car, they quarreled about whether or not to wind down the window.
“It’s winter. Why wind down the window?”
“For ventilation.”
“…”
In the end, Nan Chuan sat between the two. Although the two still wanted to quarrel, it wasn’t very convenient with
Nan Chuan being in the middle.
Other than that, An Xia regarded Nan Chuan as her Prince Charming.
Since her Prince Charming was sitting next to her, she must watch her behavior.
…
As the activity organized this time was being attended by the company’s management personnel, everyone was
driving directly to the hot spring club.
When Su Ziyue arrived, most of the people had already arrived, and most of them had even brought family
members.
There was nearly no one—except her—who brought their husband, husband’s friends, and her own friend.
“Director Su.”
Someone with a lower position than her took the initiative to greet her.
Su Ziyue responded with a smile. She also took the initiative to greet a few people who were in a higher position
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthan she was.
“Why are you here?”
At this time, an unfriendly voice was heard.
Su Ziyue turned her head to find Zhou Lingyu—dressed in extravagance—staring at her with a gloomy face.
“That’s because Vice President Su invited me.” Su Ziyue raised her eyebrows slightly. Does she own the hot spring
club? Am I not allowed to come?
Looking as though she suddenly thought of something, Zhou Lingyu gave her a fierce look before she turned
around and left.
Bai Jingshu, who was sitting on the side playing with his phone, suddenly looked up and asked, “Who is that
menopausal woman? She’s so rude.”
Although An Xia was quarreling with him, she was the first to answer his question. “She’s the wife of Vice President
Su.”
Bai Jingshu nodded his head upon hearing this.
When he asked the question, his voice was not too loud nor too soft; it could be heard by Zhou Lingyu who hadn’t
gone far.
No one would be happy being called an old woman, and Zhou Lingyu was no exception either. However, she could
only suppress her anger temporarily because of the crowd here.
She had long heard that after Yige went abroad, Su Ziyue made her mark in the Su Group; even Old Master Su
seemed to think very highly of Su Ziyue.
All of it should belong to my daughter, not Su Ziyue!
…
Soon, all the guests had arrived, and it was time to allocate the rooms.
Su Ziyue and her party were behind because they had the most people.
The smile on Su Yuanming’s face gradually disappeared when he saw Su Ziyue and her party, but he still
maintained his calm demeanor.
At this time, the manager took the lead and asked, “Excuse me, how many rooms do you need?”
Before Su Ziyue could speak, Qin Muchen spoke first and said, “Four rooms.”
He and Su Ziyue shared one room, while the other three had their own rooms.
After they were all assigned rooms, Su Yuanming turned around and left, seemingly reluctant to look at them any
longer.
Looking at how angry Su Yuanming was, Su Ziyue didn’t bother calling him either. It was better not to do thankless
things.
The rooms assigned to them were next to each other.
Su Ziyue walked in front with the key while Qin Muchen walked behind with their luggage before they entered the
elevator together.
When the elevator reached the floor in the middle, it stopped once and opened its doors, but there was no one.
“Why is there no one?” An Xia asked in confusion.
Su Ziyue glanced at the empty corridor and said thoughtfully, “Perhaps the person wanted to take the elevator
earlier, but later changed his mind thinking that the elevator was taking too long to arrive.”
No one seemed to care about this incident.
…
The hot spring spa was in the suburbs and was newly opened. There were many people present most likely because
of the suitable season.
All of them rested in their respective rooms for a while. After getting something to eat, they went to enjoy the hot
spring separately.
Su Ziyue and An Xia were together, while the other three men stayed together.
Poor Beef was left in the room all alone.
Relaxing in the hot spring with An Xia, Su Ziyue closed her eyes and felt the pores all over her body open up.
Su Ziyue said, “It’s been a long time since I felt so relaxed.”
“Me too, I’ve been so tired recently.” An Xia leaned next to her. She also felt really exhausted as of late.
The two chatted casually and got up without soaking for too long.
As this hot spring spa had other amenities besides the hot springs, they wanted to take advantage of this rare
opportunity to come out and have fun.
The two of them did not notify the other three men and went to another place to play before they returned to their
rooms.
As soon as they walked into the elevator, Su Ziyue received a call from Qin Muchen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe sounded slightly impatient. “Where did you go? Did you go to another place to play?”
Su Ziyue could imagine his impatient and somewhat anxious expression on his face right then, so she mentally
stuck her tongue out. “I’m almost at our room. I’m already in the elevator and heading up…”
At that moment, the elevator door suddenly opened and a girl suddenly rushed in, bumping into Su Ziyue
immediately.
Su Ziyue was caught off guard, so she screamed as her phone fell to the ground.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” The girl who bumped into Su Ziyue apologized repeatedly, leaving no room for Su Ziyue to
speak.
“It’s okay, just be careful next time.” As Su Ziyue spoke, An Xia had already picked up the phone for her.
The elevator had also ascended one floor up and stopped at the floor which Su Ziyue and the others were staying
at.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Su Ziyue saw Qin Muchen striding over from the end of the corridor.
He walked toward the elevator with an anxious look on his face. Seeing Su Ziyue walk out of the elevator intact, he
looked visibly relieved.
“What happened just now?: Qin Muchen approached Su Ziyue, took her hand, and looked at her up and down.
“Nothing. A girl simply charged into the elevator and knocked my phone off,” said Su Ziyue as she fiddled with her
phone. Luckily, it wasn’t broken.
They did not take this matter to heart and went back to their own rooms. In the evening, they went out to have
dinner together.
The colleagues in the company got together at the restaurant at night, so Su Ziyue had to show up as a mere
formality.
After she entered the restaurant, she saw a familiar face—the girl who charged into the elevator earlier that day
was also there.
A trace of surprise flashed across Su Ziyue’s face; after looking at her for a while, she couldn’t see whose family
member the girl was.
Later on, she simply glanced at her for a few more times, had a few drinks with several people whom she had a
better relationship with, and left the dinner with Qin Muchen.
However, she felt the girl watching her right before she left.
