Chapter 126
Su Ziyue merely responded to Bai Jingshu’s horrified expression with a cryptic smile. Then, she wound up the car
window and drove off, leaving Bai Jingshu to shudder alone while standing in place.
That was perhaps because he was always partial to Gu Hanyan over Su Ziyue. In reality, he had been hoping deep
down inside that Gu Hanyan would be together with Qin Muchen, which was why he felt inexplicably guilty while
facing Su Ziyue.
Su Ziyue pondered along the way to the Su Group over how the matter should be resolved. However, she couldn’t
think of a proper solution even when she arrived at the company.
Furthermore, there were so many people in the company, so it was not up to her to decide how to resolve the
matter.
After arriving at the Su Group, she went straight to the meeting room, where Su Youcheng and some related
higher-ups were sitting inside while waiting for her.
Upon seeing her entering the meeting room, almost everyone looked at her with a subtle hint of displeasure in their
eyes, but most of them did not show their displeasure openly.
Su Youcheng shot a glance at her with a deep furrow in his brows, but he did not say a word.
Su Ziyue walked up to him and gave him a slight nod. “Grandpa.”
Su Youcheng responded with an audible grunt, so Su Ziyue seated herself to his right, only to realize that everyone
showed no sign of starting the meeting.
She couldn’t help but turn to look at Su Youcheng when the door to the meeting room was pushed open once again.
She looked up to see that the person who came in was none other than Su Yuanming.
A long time had passed since Su Yuanming returned to the company to call the shots last time during Su Youcheng’s
hospitalization.
Su Yuanming had previously asked her to hand the partnership project with the LK Group over to Su Yige, which she
refused right before she was being injected with drugs. When she returned to the company again later, Su
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYoucheng was back, so Su Yuanming went back to the branch office again.
She was surprised that they would meet again under such circumstances. However, she could expect that Su
Yuanming would surely stab her in the back when he came back this time.
“Sorry for keeping everyone waiting.” Su Yuanming looked grim, but the humble tone in his voice made the
expressions of Su Youcheng and the others at the meeting ease up somewhat.
Su Ziyue clasped her hands together on the table as a pondering look flashed across her eyes.
Su Yuanming looked up at Su Ziyue, and something flickered in his eyes.
“Since everyone is present, let’s start the meeting now.” Everyone adopted a serious countenance at Su
Youcheng’s instruction. Su Youcheng turned to look at Su Ziyue with a grim face, yet he said to the secretary behind
him, “Let her read the stuff.”
The secretary then put a pile of documents down in front of Su Ziyue with a straight face.
Su Ziyue opened up the documents to realize that all of them were media reports, for the tide of media reporting
had turned against the Su Group.
“This partnership project was assigned to you with full responsibility, yet this is what you have done. The Su Group’s
shares were affected today. You’d better think up a reasonable explanation and the best way to solve the matter,”
said Su Youcheng in a reproachful tone, though he was actually weak despite his fierce appearance. Apparently, he
couldn’t care less about what happened in the process, since he cared only about the result.
Such an attitude from him was also within Su Ziyue’s expectation, so she wasn’t much perturbed deep down inside.
“I’ll take full responsibility for this matter, and I’ll certainly resolve it with the most appropriate solution. It was my
mistake this time,” answered Su Ziyue with a grim face. She had to acknowledge her mistakes, but she did not have
to explain too much to those who cared nothing about her.
However, she still had to explain a little bit of the specific situation.
After detailing what had happened the day before, she was criticized by everyone, which was something she had
expected.
“How could you let Miss Gu push you aside when such an incident happened to you? Don’t you know what the
consequences would be?” asked an elderly higher-up of the company.
Su Ziyue looked at him expressionlessly as she answered, “You’re right. If I could predict the future, I would never
have let them go to that studio.”
No one could expect accidents to happen, yet these people wanted to find fault with her.
Her answer rendered the higher-up speechless.
A round of attacks—both overt and covert—then followed, which Su Ziyue fought back cleverly without turning a
hair.
When nobody deliberately found fault with her anymore, she finally said, “I think that we should hold a press
conference before doing anything else. This is the simplest and most effective solution to this matter.”
She looked so firm and resolute that Su Youcheng couldn’t help but cast her another sidelong glance, which
inevitably reminded him of his eldest son, Su Yizi, who was also Su Ziyue’s father.
To be honest, he used to think of Su Yizi as the more desirable heir to his company, but after that incident
happened, he couldn’t even bring himself to like Su Ziyue.
Su Youcheng frowned and came back to his senses. “Let’s do as you said, but you must let Yuanming assist you so
that nothing wrong could happen.”
A startled look flashed across Su Ziyue’s eyes when she heard what Su Youcheng said. She looked up at Su
Yuanming, who smiled gently as he said, “Of course, I will assist Ziyue as much as I can to take care of this matter
appropriately.”
“In that case, may we have a smooth cooperation.” Su Ziyue glanced at him with a half-smile before withdrawing
her gaze.
After getting back into her car, Su Ziyue heaved a long sigh to relieve some of her pent-up frustrations.
She had a feeling that Su Youcheng did not call Su Yuanming back only to have him deal with the matter together
with her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmForget it. Let’s put the matter aside until it happens, she thought to herself.
The press conference was scheduled for the weekend, so she had to make some preparations on this day.
Therefore, she had to go to the hospital to visit Gu Hanyan right now.
Su Ziyue pulled her car over to buy a fruit basket before heading toward the hospital.
Nothing felt even worse than being saved by one’s rival in love. It felt like chewing on sand while she was enjoying
her dishes, which wasn’t a big deal, though it still made her feel uncomfortable. The feeling it left behind was
superficial, but it made her feel so uneasy all over.
Upon arriving at the hospital’s entrance, Su Ziyue sorted out her emotions and entered while carrying the fruit
basket.
She knocked on the door twice and pushed the door to enter after hearing an answer from the inside.
Meng was absent, and there were another two people in the ward besides Gu Hanyan. They were a man and a
woman; the man looked scrupulous in his suit, whereas the woman followed behind him reverently.
Perhaps some company’s boss had brought his secretary along to visit Gu Hanyan, Su Ziyue thought.
Gu Hanyan smiled the instant she saw Su Ziyue. She said in an affectionate tone, “You’ve come, Ziyue.”
“Yeah. How are you?” Su Ziyue felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing Gu Hanyan’s tone of voice, but she
couldn’t say anything.
“Miss Gu, I’ll be leaving first since your friend has come to visit you. I’ll visit you again tomorrow,” said the man
before he left with his secretary.
Before he left, he even gave Su Ziyue a polite nod.
Su Ziyue put the fruit basket aside, whereas Gu Hanyan glanced at her before looking at the door. The affectionate
tone in her voice faded as she asked, “Did… Did you come alone?”
Su Ziyue pretended not to understand what Gu Hanyan meant. “That’s right. I should come to visit you since you
have saved me.”
Then, she took an apple out of the fruit basket, asking, “Would you like to have an apple? I’ll peel one for you.”
Gu Hanyan glanced at Su Ziyue, and the expression on her face faded away. “There’s no need for that.”
