Chapter 1560: Worry (4)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The car sped ahead with Su Yu at the wheel.
Indeed, as Su Chen expected, they had just started driving when Su Yu could not help but ask, “Did you fight with Zitong?”
“I knew Zitong didn’t look quite well last night. I thought she was just unhappy because of those incidents, but then I noticed her just now and was sure that you two were fighting. Aren’t you planning on telling me? Maybe I could help you with it.”
“When did you find the time to care about these things now? We’ll settle our own problems. Don’t worry. There’s no need to get so many people involved,” Su Chen said gloomily.
“How can you say that this involves too many people? You know not to worry your family too, huh? Su Chen, I’m telling you, even though I’m your sister, I’m on the side of reason, not just kins.h.i.+p. You’ve grown up under my watch since young, so I know very well how your temper is like. You’ve been spoiled by the family since young.” Su Yu rolled her eyes at Su Chen as she went on and on.
“I don’t think I”ve been spoiled. All these years, when has anything been done according to what I want?” Su Chen objected as his gaze could not help but darken. “I don’t want you all to interfere with us. We’ll settle it ourselves.”
“Alright, I know you’re in a bad mood. But I must tell you first that managing a marriage isn’t the same as the way you handle official matters and that right or wrong can be figured out. Zitong is your wife. As a man, you needn’t be so petty and it’s not wrong to give in a little. Zitong doesn’t seem like the kind of woman who would become worse,” Su Yu sped up the car as she said.
Su Chen lowered his gaze and did not answer. He just turned to look out of the car window.
“You’d better be paying attention to what I say. That way, you’ll go through this more peacefully. Haven’t you heard how they say that incapable men go home with a temper? Look at Ah Chen. He’s rarely like you, getting angry all the time. Can’t you just talk about things calmly? Also, look at our father. You can’t even stand Mother’s temper but hasn’t he adapted to it and tolerated it over the years?
“I’m talking to you. Are you listening? This isn’t about principles. You don’t have to be such an egoistic man. Zitong is always thinking of you, so what else are you unhappy about?”
“How do you know she’s always thinking of me? Did she tell you that?” Su Chen turned and fixed his gaze on Su Yu.
“Well, who else is she going to be thinking of? Last night, she was staring at her phone the whole night in a daze, obviously waiting for you to call her, but G.o.d knows where you ran off to. If it weren’t for her, I would’ve told Grandfather already and gotten him to scold you publicly,” Su Yu responded plainly.
At this juncture, Su Chen’s expression looked slightly better as he cleared his throat and said, “There’s trust issues between me and her.”
“Trust issues? Everyone has problems. I know that this time, you must have made things unhappy because of her ex-boyfriend Dong Wentao, on this, I can’t say who’s wrong or who’s right, but I don’t think there’s a need to be unhappy over this little thing. Even if you want to get back at him, that’s not how you do it, Su Chen oh Su Chen, you’ve been alive for more than 30 years now, why are you still so childish?”
Even Su Yu could not help but scold him, “Since I’m talking about this, you need to reflect as well. Later, I’ll find a way to probe and talk to her. No matter what happens, we can’t just put the blame on one someone else. We have to first reflect on ourselves! This is the most basic thing our grandfather has asked of us. Ah Chen and Zimo do this very well. Instead, it’s you as the eldest that hasn’t been a good role model.”
“Sis, are you really my sister or not? Are you criticizing me right now?” Even though Su Chen’s tone was filled with dissatisfaction, it sounded calmer than before.
“If you keep going on like this, it won’t just be criticism, I’ll send a punitive expedition against you. I just think Zitong is great, so I’ve got to protect her so that she won’t be bullied by you. I know very well that you can exercise restraint if you want to,” Su Yu said very calmly.
Nevertheless, Su Chen only threw her a cold glance. “I’m pretty sure you’re not Mother and Father’s biological daughter.”
…
He was busy the entire day, and in the blink of an eye, it was sunset.
Since he knew that no one would be home, Qi Lei did not want to return home so earlier either. He settled all his doc.u.ments until hunger struck him. He then looked up at the glorious lights outside his window and realized that it was already very late.
Yang Sheng had already gone back, thus only he was left alone in the office. Even the bodyguards had left.
He packed up and then picked up his car keys to leave the office.
He did not go straight home either. Instead, he drove to the library and picked up several books before he rushed back. He held a simple bowl of noodles and sat down on the living room sofa then switched on the television.
After a few bites of his steaming noodles, he subconsciously picked up his phone and was hesitating about whether to call Dongfang Liuyun.
When she landed, she only sent him a text message that she had reached, and then there was no more news.
At this moment, the person on the other end seemed to have telepathically felt it too. He had just clicked on two numbers when his phone suddenly buzzed, flas.h.i.+ng with Liuyun’s name.
With his handsome brows raised, a charming smile curved on his lips as he quickly answered the call.
“h.e.l.lo? Have you had dinner already?” he spoke up first.
“Not yet. I’ve just made a sand picture with my friend and am planning to return to the hotel. Are you still at the office?” Dongfang Liuyun’s voice was calm as if such a greeting was extremely normal.
“I just came home to make dinner.”
“You made noodles?” Dongfang Liuyun smiled and said as if she could see what was happening over there.
“How smart of Madam Qi. Indeed, you guessed it right,” Qi Lei replied.
“I understand that it’s not easy to make dinner for one person. Besides, most of what’s in your fridge are just noodles.”
“Omniscient now, are you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me? You’ve slid into character quite quickly.”
