Chapter 48

Looking at this suddenly bold woman, Sheng Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

But since the soft jade had taken the initiative to come into his arms, he didn’t refuse, enveloping the woman in his embrace.

This time, Luo Wan was smarter, sitting sideways on Sheng Qing’s lap.

This way, others could see the intimacy between the two without thinking otherwise.

“Aren’t you angry with them?” Sheng Qing asked softly in her ear.

“Getting angry is bad for your health. There’s no need to get angry with them. Besides, they were the ones who tried to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice. I didn’t lose anything,” Luo Wan said generously.

“Then it seems I made a fuss over nothing.”

Luo Wan hugged the man’s neck, moved, saying, “I guessed it was you a long time ago. Thank you for standing up for me.”

In fact, when Luo Wan saw the news on the hot search this morning, she guessed it was someone’s doing.

After all, the Su family was still a prestigious family. Even though they hadn’t been as glorious in recent years, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. They still had some influence.

How could Miss Su, who was so proud and arrogant, allow such a scandal to remain on the hot search without solving it?

The only explanation was that someone had taken action, and they couldn’t match up to it.

The only person capable and motivated to do this in recent days was Sheng Qing.

“Then let them come up. If they see it, they won’t be bothered.”

“If only Su Yunwei had come alone today, I would have sent her away as far as possible. But she was smart enough to bring her grandmother with her. No matter what, Su’s old lady is her grandmother’s close friend and an elder of a big family. As juniors, we can’t shut people out, regardless of whether we agree to their requests or not.”

Sheng Qing looked admiringly at his little wife.

“Progressing and retreating, neither humble nor overbearing, and generous. I really want to know who raised you so well.”

Luo Wan smiled slightly, “Now you know you’ve picked up a treasure.”

Sheng Qing smirked and continued, “I knew from the beginning that my little wife is a treasure all over, irresistible.”

Luo Wan felt herself no longer as naive as before, actually understanding the other’s meaning instantly.

As they spoke, the office door was opened again.

Xu Zheng led Su’s old lady and Su Yunwei in.

Su Yunwei knew she was going to meet Sheng Qing, so she dressed up nicely before coming.

She thought she could attract Sheng Qing’s attention, but upon entering, she found the person she least wanted to see.

Also here.

I’ve forgotten that I’m here to ask for a favor. My face is full of surprise and disdain: “What are you doing here?”

Luo Wan felt amused, deliberately leaning her head on the man’s shoulder, showing off: “Why can’t I be here? Does Miss Su not know about our relationship?”

“Or is it because I’m here, affecting you? Let me think about it, what kind of matter can’t have someone’s wife present?”

Luo Wan said this intentionally. She had long seen that Su Yunwei had ill intentions towards Sheng Qing.

Before, she hadn’t clarified her own intentions, so she didn’t care what Su Yunwei did. But now that she had made up her mind, she was determined to assert her dominance.

Glancing at the face beside her, which was actively seeking attention, she secretly frowned.

Sheng Qing was quite pleased with Luo Wan’s attitude. His hand around her waist tightened.

Su Yunwei’s eyes were red with jealousy, and she was about to explode with anger.

She had worked so hard for that position for so long, it was clearly supposed to be hers, but now it was being occupied by a nobody.

Seeing her granddaughter’s jealous look, Mrs. Su patted her shoulder.

Signaling her to pull herself together, the most important thing now was the matter of the news.

There couldn’t be any blemishes on Su Jia’s young lady.

Then she looked at the two people holding each other.

There was a faint dignity in her murky eyes.

“Mr. Sheng, there’s something I need your help with, can we talk in private?”

“Mrs. Su, my wife is not a stranger. There’s nothing I can hear that she can’t.”

The implication was clear: he would only discuss matters in front of Luo Wan, otherwise please leave.

Mrs. Su closed her eyes and found the sight of the two embracing people in front of her to be very annoying.

Truly shameless.

If she encountered such young people on a normal day, she would definitely educate them, but now she needed to ask for a favor, so she could only endure it.

Mrs. Su got straight to the point: “Mr. Sheng, Yunwei is young and impulsive. She did something inappropriate at the banquet last night. I have already reprimanded her, so I hope Mr. Sheng can let it go.”

At these words, Sheng Qing coldly smiled.

“Young and impulsive. Can she be any younger than my wife?”

“She’s several years older, yet she bullies a young girl. This is the education of the Su family.”

Being criticized like this by a younger generation, Mrs. Su’s face turned ugly.

“Yunwei’s behavior, President Sheng must be well aware of,” Mrs. Su remarked.

“In that case, it falls on me, according to Mrs. Su’s perspective,” Sheng Qing lifted his head, his entire demeanor imposing.

Mrs. Su instinctively took a step back.

Concerned, Yunwei stepped forward to assist her grandmother.

Then, she raised her head to look at the man who had captivated her for years.

Finally, with a somewhat aggrieved tone, she said, “Brother Sheng Qing, I didn’t mean to behave that way last night. I apologize.”

Listening to this, Luo Wan felt goosebumps all over her body.

The man beside her spoke up, “The person you should apologize to isn’t me.”

Understanding his implication, Yunwei couldn’t bring herself to bow to that woman who was nothing. She stubbornly refused to apologize, causing a temporary silence in the office.

Mrs. Su felt sorry for her granddaughter and, supporting her aging body, took a step forward.

“Miss Luo, since you insist on someone apologizing, let me do it.”

Mrs. Su, intentional or not, looked even older and moved more slowly at this moment.

Although Yunwei felt sorry for her grandmother, the thought of having to apologize herself if her grandmother didn’t do it made her hesitate to intervene.

Just as the old lady was about to bend down, a cold voice rang out in the office.

“Old lady, think it through. If you bend down now, not only will you hurt yourself, but this matter will also be over.”

Luo Wan’s face remained cold.

This Mrs. Su really had some tricks up her sleeve.

Making an elderly person bow to her for an apology, if this got out, it would probably be more damaging than Yunwei’s incident. She might even be drowned in other people’s spit.

Mrs. Su stood up straight, her face now darkened.

“Miss Luo, do you really want to force me to do this?”

Luo Wan coldly laughed twice and said, “I can’t accept the old lady’s apology.” Then she looked at Yunwei again and said, “Since Miss Su doesn’t want to apologize, why bother with this charade?”

“Or is it that your intentions today have nothing to do with the apology?”

Yunwei’s face turned pale with Luo Wan’s pointed remarks.

She had originally intended to use the apology as an excuse to increase her chances of getting along with Brother Sheng Qing.

But she hadn’t expected this despicable woman to be here.
