Chapter 1938: Chapter 2024: I Don’t Care
"Xiaoyu, if you insist on being with him, I’ll sever our father–daughter relationship. From now on I don’t have a daughter like you!"
"Then sever it! I don’t care!"
Xiaoyu clenched her fists, tears streaming down. She just wanted to be with someone she liked. Those luxury goods were dispensable, she didn’t care, and she hated seeing Lu work himself to death for her!
"Good... good, I, Hou Liangping, really raised a good daughter, such a good daughter!"
Hou Liangping grabbed a cup and smashed it hard on the ground.
"Tsk tsk... what a lively scene."
Right when the atmosphere was at its most awkward, a mocking voice sounded. No one knew when this bastard Su Xuan had arrived at the pavilion; he was leaning against it, cracking sunflower seeds.
"The hell, you..."
Just as Hou Liangping was about to curse, his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Su Xuan again and swallowed hard!
"Who the fuck are you? I’ve booked out this place. You think you can just barge in and act wild?"
Qi Ye spoke and shot a look at the two men beside him. He felt totally humiliated today; he hadn’t expected Xiaoyu to be this ruthless.
The two security guards moved to kick Su Xuan out, but with two loud crashes, both guards went flying into the pond!
"How uncivilized. I’m such a refined guy, and you actually dare lay hands on me."
Su Xuan spoke as he walked to the table, dragged over a stool and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it, then looked at Qi Ye with a cold smirk.
"So you’re that Young Master Qi. I heard you went to Stanford University, sounds so impressive."
Su Xuan sneered.
"..."
Everyone was speechless, especially Qi Ye. He had no idea how Su Xuan had kicked those men in. It was the dead of winter; the pond wouldn’t drown them, but those two security guards were already close to turning into popsicles!
"Xiaoyu, this is your father?"
Su Xuan blew a puff of smoke in front of him and asked curiously.
"Kid, I’m warning you, get out of here right now or I’ll call the police!"
Qi Ye said as he pulled out his phone. Right now he felt like his dignity had been trampled into the mud!
"Go ahead. If you feel like taking an ice-cold bath, I’m more than happy to watch."
What Su Xuan really meant was: try calling the cops and I’ll kick you in next.
"You’re a cocky little shit. Right under the Son of Heaven’s feet you think there’s no law?"
Qi Ye’s father took out his phone to call the police, but the next second disaster struck. With a scream, his whole body was sent flying, then with a splash he landed in the pond!
"Dad...! You little punk, what the hell do you want?!"
At this moment Qi Ye was on the verge of losing it. He couldn’t beat this guy, and now he didn’t even dare call the cops!
"I just don’t like looking at your face. Got a problem with that?"
Peng Yue looked at Xiaoyu and Deng Xiaolu, then smiled as he spoke.
"Respect. I was even talking to Dong Jianwen earlier, wondering if Xiaoyu would pull that TV drama move and high-five to cut ties with her dad. Didn’t expect you to actually do it. Xiaoyu, I don’t admire anyone easily, but I admire you."
Su Xuan said with a wicked grin.
"Uh..."
Xiaoyu was instantly embarrassed, and Deng Xiaolu was even more done with this bastard; he’d come in all domineering.
"Su Xuan, quit with the snarky comments, I’m dying of embarrassment here!"
Lu said, extremely awkward.
And as soon as Lu finished, Hou Liangping’s heart jolted in shock. He looked at Su Xuan, his expression changing again and again.
"B-boss!"
"Heh, so you really do know me. To be honest, I don’t know you at all. Xiaoyu did mention before that you work under me, but I’ve never been able to remember who you are. Hou Liangping, which company are you from? How come I’ve never heard of you?"
Su Xuan said with mockery. Hou Liangping’s face had already turned all sorts of colors; the awkwardness didn’t even need to be described. Staring at Su Xuan, he just wanted to crawl into a hole. This was the real big boss!
"I... I’m the chairman of Dream Blue."
"Dream Blue?"
Su Xuan scratched his head awkwardly, thinking, How the hell is that my company and I don’t even know?
"Sorry, who do you report to?"
Su Xuan felt a bit embarrassed. Just how many companies did he actually own?
"Shui Lingling, President Shui."
"Cough, cough..."
Su Xuan had a violent coughing fit, and only after a long while did he speak.
"Isn’t Shui Lingling in Chengdu? When did she run off to the Imperial Capital?"
"Wow... don’t tell me she’s another one of your women?"
Deng Xiaolu said with open disdain.
"Uh, my wife in Chengdu. But it’s been quite a while since we last met."
Su Xuan was a bit abashed, thinking to himself, Wonder if that girl holds a grudge against me.
"Well... the company is in Chengdu. It’s just that it’s the holidays now."
Hou Liangping was scared out of his wits. Of course he’d seen Su Xuan’s photo. When Dream Blue was founded, Shui Lingling had told everyone that Su Xuan was the company’s highest-level director.
"So that’s how it is. Seems I need to have a chat with President Shui, ask her to cut your salary a bit. Give me her number."
Su Xuan said coldly. In fact, he didn’t know Shui Lingling’s number—ever since that trip to the desert, he’d lost contact with a lot of people.
"Boss... I..."
In that instant, all the hairs on Hou Liangping’s body were practically standing on end. He could feel that Su Xuan wasn’t joking. Ever since he’d jumped ship to Dream Blue, he’d been like a fish in water. If Su Xuan really fired him, he’d regret it till his intestines turned green!
"If you don’t want me to fire you, then hand over the number."
Su Xuan said domineeringly.
Qi Ye, his mother, and Xiaoyu’s mother were all completely dumbfounded. God, just who the hell was this guy!
Hou Liangping gave the number to Su Xuan. After Su Xuan dialed, he immediately turned on the speakerphone, thinking, You like using money to pressure people, huh? Today I’ll show you what it means to crush someone with power.
"Hello, may I ask who’s calling?"
A soft, pleasant voice quickly came through. Su Xuan knew this wasn’t Shui Lingling, but her secretary.
"Get your President Shui on the line."
Su Xuan said lightly.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?"
"Uh... I need an appointment just to call? Your President Shui is acting more high and mighty than me."
Su Xuan said awkwardly.
"I’m sorry, sir. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be hanging up now."
The woman said very politely.
"Wait, just tell her Su Xuan is looking for her."
Su Xuan had just finished speaking when he felt the phone being snatched away on the other end, someone apparently getting a bit too worked up.
"You... who are you!"
This time it wasn’t anyone else speaking—it was Shui Lingling herself!
"President Shui? You forgot me that fast?"
Su Xuan said with a wicked smile.
And on the other end of the line, the sound of sobbing came through. Su Xuan immediately felt awkward. What the hell was going on?
"Hey, Shui Lingling, are you okay?"
"You bastard, you still remember how to call me? Weren’t you already dead in the desert? How are you still alive?"
Her voice was choked with sobs.
