Chapter 767: Chapter 768: Bringing in Reinforcements

"Sixth Young Master Su? Su Qingmiao?" Sun Zilang squinted his eyes.

"Exactly, it’s Sixth Young Master Su, Vice President Sun, if you force me to stay, then the return of Sixth Young Master Su will certainly make him unhappy, and that wouldn’t be too good for you, right?"

Cheng Xiaoyue had witnessed the imposing presence of Sixth Young Master Su yesterday. So many people who were considered significant bowed down in front of him, so she believed, as long as she mentioned Sixth Young Master Su, Sun Zilang would also give her face.

However, she didn’t know that the Sun family and the Su family were on par in strength. Although there had been cooperations over the years, the main relationship was competitive, with each desiring to suppress the other and become the only biggest family in Minghe City.

Li Quan was startled. If Cheng Xiaoyue had a relationship with the Sixth Young Master of the Su family, yet he had pushed Cheng Xiaoyue toward Seventh Master Sun, that would indeed be stirring up trouble between the two parties.

Neither of these men were ones he could afford to provoke, and in the end, he would definitely displease both parties, offending people, and now sweat was streaming from his forehead.

Qiao Bin then smiled, saying, "Little Yue, although you met Sixth Master Su yesterday, that doesn’t mean he has any relationship with you."

Cheng Xiaoyue was instantly infuriated, believing Qiao Bin would help her, only to find he was kicking her while down, and angrily said to Qiao Bin, "Qiao Bin, aren’t you being too shameless?"

Sun Zilang’s face darkened as he said, "Cheng Xiaoyue, you could have just directly said you disagree. I, Sun Zilang, am not the kind of man who forces women into bed, but now that you’ve mentioned Qingmiao Sun, I really have to fight this out. Go fetch Sun Zilang and let’s see how he dares to come here and demand people from me."

Qiao Bin shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Let’s see, you’ve really shot yourself in the foot now, haven’t you?"

Cheng Xiaoyue also felt bewildered; she had only just met Sixth Master Su yesterday and hadn’t spoken a word to him, so how could she possibly invite Sixth Master Su over now.

The only person she could call upon now was clearly Song Xiaodong, but Song Xiaodong was acquainted with Sixth Master Su only due to his medical skills, and his influence surely wasn’t as great as that of Sixth Master Su.

Li Quan was truly annoyed with Cheng Xiaoyue at this moment, saying, "Cheng Xiaoyue, you really don’t know what’s good for you. You better behave and accompany Vice President Sun now to appease his anger. Otherwise, you’re surely going to suffer in the future."

Sun Zilang waved his hand, saying, "I’m not angry at all, but I would really like to arm-wrestle with that fellow Qingmiao Sun. I’ll give you one hour. If you can bring Qingmiao Sun over to take you away, then there will be no issue. But if you can’t bring Qingmiao Sun here... hmm, then everyone might just have to stay, Director Li, Qiao Bin, let’s all have some fun together."

Cheng Xiaoyue’s face turned pale in an instant, and she clenched her fists, saying, "Vice President Sun, you’re a high-ranking official of a company, you can’t be this shameless."

Sun Zilang sat down on the sofa, legs crossed, saying, "Shameless? You became a host, don’t you understand a bit about this circle? You’re the first one to refuse me, Sun Zilang. If I just let you go now, how can I mix in this circle in the future?"

Cheng Xiaoyue gritted her teeth, suddenly turned, and swiftly headed towards the door. As long as she could escape from this room, she didn’t believe Sun Zilang would come after her to drag her back.

But her plan was too optimistic. Qiao Bin and Li Quan ended up blocking her path.

Cheng Xiaoyue had no choice but to stop, angrily saying, "You guys..."

Li Quan spoke sternly, "Cheng Xiaoyue, are you really ready to throw away your future?"

Qiao Bin, with a bitter smile, said, "Little Yue, don’t make it hard for us."

Sun Zilang said leisurely from behind, "Here in Minghe, no actress has ever casually walked out of my room. I gave you a chance, and if you don’t use it, you can’t blame me."

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoyue felt extremely distressed, regretting having come along. Why had she coveted the glamour of the entertainment industry? Being a provincial TV host wasn’t bad at all. Just because she had made this decision, she had driven herself into a desperate situation.

Now, who could save her? It seemed only the Sixth Young Master Su had the ability to help, and she thought the only way to get Sixth Young Master Su to help her was to ask Song Xiaodong for assistance.

Clenching her teeth, Cheng Xiaoyue took out her phone and dialed Song Xiaodong’s number. Although the ringtone sounded on the other end, no one answered the call.

This made Cheng Xiaoyue extremely anxious. With Song Xiaodong not answering the phone, who else could help her? A thought flashed through her mind, and she remembered Lin Su’er, who had gestured to her several times yesterday, clearly having a close relationship with Song Xiaodong. She could only try contacting her first.

Fortunately, Lin Su’er had given her a business card yesterday. She quickly found it and dialed the number; this time the call connected immediately.

"Lin Su’er, this is Cheng Xiaoyue."

"Hello!" Lin Su’er greeted her politely.

"Lin Su’er, I’ve run into some trouble. Could you please contact the Sixth Young Master Su for me?" As she spoke, Cheng Xiaoyue’s heart pounded fiercely.

"Sure, but what trouble have you encountered? Do you need my help?"

"No, no, this is something only the Sixth Young Master can help me with."

"Alright, I’ll have him call you."

"Great! Thank you so much."

Cheng Xiaoyue sighed with relief. Being able to contact the Sixth Young Master Su and then perhaps speaking about her relationship with Song Xiaodong might persuade the Sixth Young Master Su to help her out, considering Song Xiaodong’s face.

Although Li Quan couldn’t hear what was being said on the other end of Cheng Xiaoyue’s phone, he could at least hear what Cheng Xiaoyue was saying, and it made him gulp. She could actually contact the Sixth Young Master Su, and that was troublesome for him.

At this time, Sun Zilang remained composed. Cheng Xiaoyue didn’t even have Qingmiao Su’s personal phone number and had to ask someone else to mediate; this indicated that her relationship with Qingmiao Su was somewhat ordinary. In such a case, why would Qingmiao Su step up for her? He was sure that knowing he was involved, Qingmiao Su wouldn’t come at all.

Cheng Xiaoyue’s phone soon rang. She hastily answered it and asked cautiously, "Is this the Sixth Young Master Su?"

"It’s me. You’re Cheng Xiaoyue, right? What’s the problem? I’ll come and solve it for you." Qingmiao Su spoke very politely, an instruction from Madam Lin Su’er, who had also specifically mentioned that she was a friend of Song Xiaodong, so he would certainly be conscientious.

At this moment, Sun Zilang frowned and said, "Tell Qingmiao Su that you’ve been detained by me and let him come to claim you."

Cheng Xiaoyue immediately repeated Sun Zilang’s words.

Qingmiao Su shouted in response, "Damn it, just wait, I’m coming over right now. Sun family members want to mess with our Su people, I must see what ability they have."
