Chapter 763: Chapter 764: Extraordinary Insight

"Ha... Sixth Young Master! Turns out you know each other, then this is a huge misunderstanding!"

Qin Qing reacted rather quickly and laughed out loud, hoping to defuse the awkwardness with that comment.

Su Qingmiao’s face darkened, and she said, "Qin Qing, it seems like you guys don’t really care for Brother Song, do you?"

Qin Qing suddenly felt sweat breaking out and said, "No, no, Sixth Young Master, you’ve misunderstood. We didn’t know about Brother Song’s relationship with you, we thought he was... that’s why I called you. It’s definitely a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Song Xiaodong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it’s not a big deal. I was just here to have some fun. No need to take it to heart."

Su Qingmiao immediately spoke, "Since Brother Song isn’t going to pursue the matter, let’s leave it be. Now, does Brother Song want to continue having fun here, or shall we go find some entertainment elsewhere?"

"Let’s find our own fun. There’s not much interest here," Song Xiaodong said as he stood up.

"Take us with you!" Miao Xuanxuan immediately called out.

Song Xiaodong turned to Lin Su’er and said, "Vice Director Lin, we’ll take our leave then. You carry on with your work; we can chat another time."

Lin Su’er knew Song Xiaodong didn’t want to interfere with her work, so she nodded.

Several girls saw Miao Xuanxuan agree to Su Qingmiao’s proposal, and they approached as well, saying, "Sixth Young Master, can we come with you to have fun too?"

Su Qingmiao quickly said, "No need. We have enough people already."

The girls couldn’t hide their disappointment and, at the same time, felt quite envious of Miao Xuanxuan and her group, who had seized a great opportunity to forge a tie with the Su family.

Then Song Xiaodong nodded to Cheng Xiaoyue, and amidst the crowd’s strange glances, he and Su Qingmiao’s group left.

About half a minute after they walked out, Qin Qing and the others immediately surrounded Lin Su’er.

"Lin Su’er, what exactly is the relationship between that guy and the Sixth Young Master?"

"Is he really a doctor? Even if he is, does the Sixth Young Master need to show him that much respect?"

Lin Su’er, overwhelmed by the questions, could only say, "These matters, I really don’t know. I just know he is a very impressive doctor, that’s all. As for the rest, you’ll have to ask the Sixth Young Master."

Seeing that Lin Su’er wasn’t forthcoming, nobody felt it appropriate to press further. Moreover, considering Su Qingmiao had actively approached Lin Su’er upon entering, they suddenly felt Lin Su’er’s status was not so simple either.

Indeed, thinking about it, it made sense. After all, someone as young as Lin Su’er would definitely not become Vice Director without sufficient status within the Su family.

What puzzled everyone, however, was that the Su family was known for favoring men over women and rarely placed women in important positions. Moreover, Lin Su’er didn’t bear the Su surname, so who exactly was she related to within the Su family?

There seemed to be only one explanation: Lin Su’er was involved with an important person from the Su family, someone with a higher status than Su Qingmiao—possibly excluding the older generation of the family.

The death of the Old Master of the Su Family was something everyone was aware of, but who the new Family Head of the Su family was remained a topic of speculation and uncertainty. However, from this incident, it seemed as if people had gained some insight: with the change of the Family Head, it appeared other members of the Su family were growing bolder, even to the point of landing their women in such important positions.

Qiao Bin and the others once again took the opportunity to ask Cheng Xiaoyue. By then, Cheng Xiaoyue was more confident and was no longer afraid of people like Qiao Bin. All she did was shrug and say, "I only know that Big Brother Song is very impressive, but who he really is, I have no idea."

After Song Xiaodong and Sixth Young Master Su left the hotel, Su Qingmiao gave a dry laugh and said, "Family Head... I didn’t do anything wrong, did I?"

Song Xiaodong patted Su Qingmiao’s shoulder, smiling as he said, "You reacted quite well."

Su Qingmiao felt like his bones had somehow become lighter and grinned, "Thank you for the compliment, Family Head."

"Hmm, keep it up, there will be opportunities to rely heavily on you in the future." Song Xiaodong was quite satisfied with Su Qingmiao; at the very least, the kid was obedient and easy to train.

"Thank you, Family Head, thank you, Family Head!" Su Qingmiao was even more excited, his eyes shining. He had never been trusted with important tasks in the Su Family before.

"All right, you get back to your business, we’re heading back."

Song Xiaodong called out, then he took Miao Xuanxuan and the others to the car.

Along the way, the girls chatted excitedly about the recent events, occasionally bursting into joyful laughter.

Shui Qinghe excitedly said, "You two didn’t see when you both kissed your brother-in-law, everyone’s face was filled with anticipation, probably thinking that you were going to suddenly slap him across the face. But when you really kissed him, they were dumbfounded."

Xiao Yingying giggled, "We didn’t see that, but when Dongzi was hugging us, those people were literally as dumbstruck as wooden chickens, not an exaggeration at all. It was just too fun."

Shui Qinghe then said to Song Xiaodong, "Brother-in-law, you’re a really interesting Family Head, much more so than my grandfather. With him, he’s always stern-faced, and in his presence, you don’t even dare to breathe loudly."

Shui Qingyue chided, "Did you see that Sixth Young Master Su just now? Isn’t he as scared as a mouse in front of a cat when he sees Brother Dongzi? Dongzi is just taking us out for some fun. Do you really think your brother-in-law has no authority? Would the Su Family be afraid of him otherwise?"

Shui Qinghe stuck out her tongue, "Oh... Good thing I’m not part of the Su Family; otherwise, it would be no fun at all if my brother-in-law glared or grumbled at me."

Upon returning home, still feeling excited, Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Hey, someone just mentioned that tonight..."

Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying immediately responded grinning, "Come on, who’s scared?"

While Shui Qingyue, her face turning red, said softly, "You guys go ahead, I’m going to bed."

Shui Qinghe made a funny face at Song Xiaodong and said, "Big bad wolf, big..." and then she too jogged upstairs.

Song Xiaodong, watching Shui Qingyue’s retreating figure, was reminded of the words they had exchanged that day. A wave of emotion swept through him as he said to Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying, "Tonight... I think I want to go see Qingyue."

"You two are finally making a breakthrough, huh?" Miao Xuanxuan actually wasn’t jealous.

"Hmm, I’m feeling good today." Song Xiaodong let out a chuckle.

Miao Xuanxuan flipped her hair and said, "Fine, then you get a pass for today. You belong to Qingyue tonight."

Xiao Yingying chuckled, "Our ranks are growing. Let’s see how you handle this, Brother Dongzi."
