Chapter 252: 221: Enemies on a Narrow Road (1st Update)_1

"It’s Sun Qing’s call, big brother, I’ll go out to take it," Tang Su pressed the mute button, then said to Tang Feng.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t take the call in front of everyone, but the room was too noisy, and with Sun Qing’s lack of tact, Tang Su was not sure she could handle it.

Tang Feng also saw Sun Qing’s name and nodded in consent.

Tang Su stood up, "Excuse me, grandma, I need to step out to take a call."

"Go ahead," the Su Family matriarch nodded.

Tang Su, clutching her phone, went out.

Su Yangming moved from his spot to Tang Su’s spot, and asked his nephew in a low voice, "Tang Feng, has Su Su not broken up with that Ye guy yet?"

"???"

Tang Feng was confused, did his uncle not like Ye Sichen?

But, why?

"I’m talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?" Su Yangming didn’t feel comfortable speaking too loudly either.

"They broke up almost two months ago," Tang Feng answered.

"They should have broken up earlier, I never liked that kid anyway," Su Yangming said.

"Uncle, why? Did he offend you?" Tang Feng was genuinely curious.

"He didn’t offend me; there is no specific reason, just an instinctive dislike, the kind you can’t explain or describe," Su Yangming was quite straightforward.

Tang Feng swallowed several times, so it was an unfounded and baseless dislike.

And it was all about instinctive dislike.

Aren’t things like affinity and intuition supposed to be exclusive to girls?

Could his uncle really rely on such things as affinity to judge someone?

"Then Su Su is currently single, right? Tell her, her uncle is keeping her marriage issues close to heart, and she should just enjoy her freedom without worry," Su Yangming proposed.

"She..." isn’t.

Just as Tang Feng was about to say Tang Su wasn’t single, although she had broken up with Ye Sichen, but had a new boyfriend, at that moment, Su Yangming’s phone also began to ring.

"Remember to tell her, I’m going to take a call too," Su Yangming patted Tang Feng’s shoulder, pressed the answer button, and put the phone to his ear, "Go ahead."

While heading out of the private room.

**

Outside the private room, leaning against the railing, Tang Su was chatting with Sun Qing.

Sun Qing complained to Tang Su about how abnormal her grandfather was behaving, "Can you believe it? After Zheng Cheng did such disgusting things, my grandpa actually told me not to interfere and said that the company still needs Zheng Cheng."

"Isn’t that a joke? A person as depraved as that, if he were to manage the company, would Sun Group still be standing till now?" Sun Qing couldn’t understand.

What Sun Qing didn’t expect was that her offhand complaint would later prove prophetic as, in less than a year, Sun Group really couldn’t stand anymore.

And her days as the glamorous Miss Sun were over as well.

Tang Su advised her, "Don’t be so angry. Although Zheng Cheng betrayed his marriage, such matters are for his wife to address. If she’s indifferent, there’s nothing we outsiders can do, right?"

Sun Qing understood this logic, of course.

But could she bring this matter to Zheng Cheng’s wife’s attention?

Lei Wei had already miscarried, and the most direct piece of evidence was gone.

If Zheng Cheng shamelessly denied being the father, could they just take Lei Wei’s word for it?

The law speaks of evidence.

Lei Wei’s leverage was all destroyed by Zheng Cheng; if he played hardball, the ones who would suffer were two women.

Why should women make things difficult for other women?

In the end, Sun Qing decided not to do so, and just vented to Tang Su, also keeping this in mind.

Her grandfather’s words had made an impression on her; Zheng Cheng’s infidelity in marriage didn’t necessarily mean he had betrayed the company.

Sun Qing had grumbled about it for a while but didn’t want to discuss these upsetting matters with Tang Su anymore, "By the way, what’s it like dining with your Su Family relatives?"

"What else could it be? Same as always."

"So, it’s uncomfortable, huh? Let me guess, they still act all high and mighty, as if they’re in a completely different world from your family of four?" Sun Qing knew a thing or two about the faces of the Su Family relatives.

In Beijing, there are just really too many wealthy people. With the family backgrounds of Tang Su’s aunts and uncles, at best they are middle-class, and at most, they’re minor tycoons.

What’s there to be arrogant about? In this city of acne, there are innumerable great tycoons, super-rich, and top billionaires.

If someone starts acting all uppity just because they’ve made some money, they really should take a stroll in the rich district. This way, they can deflate someone’s bloated ego.

The Sun Group’s financial power, to put it modestly, is on par with Shen Ao’s, yet she has never looked down on Tang Su’s family. Sun Qing really can’t understand it, considering they share blood and family ties.

"Anyway, we’re here to take a family portrait, and my parents only have a fifteen-day holiday."

It’s uncomfortable, but it’s bearable when all four of us are together.

Just endure it, and it’ll be over.

"That’s true. And you know what? I actually prefer Hua City. Going home is just too oppressive, seriously. Are you free to hang out and chat with your sister tomorrow?"

"I can’t say for sure right now. I’ll see how things go tomorrow."

"Alright, sister understands. Go on, you’re busy socializing. Go ahead; I’m gonna enjoy a good bath."

"Mhm, bye."

"Bye."

Tang Su ended the call but wasn’t in a hurry to go back to the private room. Standing in the corridor allowed her to catch a breath of fresh air.

There was a restroom in the private room, but Tang Su opted to use the public restroom outside instead.

After coming out, Tang Su was washing her hands at the sink when suddenly, a shadow approached her. Tang Su’s self-defense reflexes hadn’t faltered; she abruptly lifted her head, and when she saw who was behind her, her clear eyes instantly widened in shock.

Ye Sichen?

What was he doing here?

Talk about a small world for nemeses.

She had come all the way to Beijing, and he was supposed to be back in Haicheng. How could they run into each other in the same restaurant?

What kind of ridiculous fate was this?

"Tang Su, don’t tell me you regret breaking up with me, so you followed me to Beijing?" Ye Sichen, who had been beaten up by Wu Jie, had recovered about eighty percent, and now he could not only walk but was also being well cared for by his parents.

"Did I say that?" Seeing a familiar ’old acquaintance,’ Tang Su wasn’t as tense and relaxed a little.

"So, what are you doing in Beijing? Sightseeing?"

"Considering our current relationship, what I do in Beijing doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, young master Ye, does it? Why are you asking so closely, what are you planning to do?" Tang Su arched an eyebrow.

"I can’t ask? After all, we had a thing. Have you forgotten?" Ye Sichen suddenly leaned in closer while Tang Su was completely off guard.

Tang Su instinctively stepped back, bumping into the washbasin. In that split second, the tall and well-built Ye Sichen pinned her against the edge of the sink.

With her fingers tightly clenched into a fist, Tang Su was about to strike him when Ye Sichen suddenly retreated as quickly as the wind.

He didn’t leave on his own accord but was forced to.

Su Yangming, who was also outside making a phone call, finished his conversation and saw Tang Su heading toward the public restroom. He followed her there.

Little did he know, in the short time it took Tang Su to visit the restroom, she would run into Ye Sichen coming out of the men’s room.

Ye Sichen had never met Su Yangming, so he didn’t know he was Tang Su’s uncle.

When he saw Su Yangming appearing protective of Tang Su, he frowned slightly, "Tang Su, don’t tell me you’ve dumped that poor doctor and climbed onto a new branch? This guy, he looks a bit better than that poor doctor, but not by much."

"Ye Sichen, shut up, this is my uncle." Seeing Su Yangming’s face darken and his silence, Tang Su hurriedly stated.

"Ha, your uncle? Such a young uncle, Tang Su, who are you trying to fool? You know, I never realized before how marketable you are among men."

Bang—Su Yangming landed a punch on Ye Sichen.
