Chapter 24: People you can’t understand usually mean trouble

Su Qingtan turned her head, Wen Xiaoching pulled two books from the bookshelf and stuffed them into her hands, she smiled at her with exceptional sunshine, “Miss Su, I’m sorry, we didn’t get to talk properly because of Xiaoxi.”

“It’s okay.” Su Qingtan lowered her head and looked at the books in her hands, she thought for a moment and said to Wen Xiaoching, “Miss Wen, are you and Ye Xi friends?”

Wen Xiaoching nodded, “We’re friends, but we’re also related, she’s my cousin.”

Cousin?

Seeing Su Qingtan’s confusion, Wen Xiaoching said frankly, “My cousin, she follows her mother’s surname, not my uncle’s.”

Wen? Following her mother’s surname?

Wen Xiaoching’s words made Su Qingtan suddenly remember a news article she had read when she was still in school.

The younger brother of a local wealthy businessman surnamed Wen was accused of fraud and brought to court.

This wealthy businessman’s younger brother had a lot of scandals, he had five or six mistresses, and he also had three or four illegitimate children.

After the news was exposed, the wealthy businessman’s father, the head of the Wen family, angrily published a statement in the newspaper severing ties with his unreliable younger son, he was ordered not to be helped by the entire family, he had to pay the price for his fraud, and he was sentenced to five years in prison.

After the wealthy businessman’s younger brother was sentenced, the mistresses lost their source of income and cried to the Wen family.

The head of the Wen family took decisive action, he drove all of them out of the Wen family and threatened that if they dared to flaunt the Wen family’s name, he would make them pay.

Remembering this, Su Qingtan turned to Wen Xiaoching and asked, “Miss Wen, is your father named Wen Yongning?”

“Yes.” Wen Xiaoching smiled, “My father is quite famous.”

Of course he’s famous, he’s one of the top wealthy families in Jincheng.

Su Qingtan nodded and then asked, “Then is Ye Xi’s father Wen Yongping?”

“Yes.” Wen Xiaoching’s smile this time had a hint of helplessness, “My uncle is even more famous, right?”

Su Qingtan was amused, “You’re quite humorous.”

Wen Xiaoching frankly accepted Su Qingtan’s evaluation, “Everyone who knows me says that.”

Anyone who sees such a sunny, cheerful, and smiling face will be happy. Su Qingtan felt inspired, “The people who are with you must be very happy.”

“Not entirely.” Wen Xiaoching denied it, then directly threw out her purpose for gossiping, “Miss Su, can we chat about the tea classics now?”

Su Qingtan smiled and nodded, Wen Xiaoching immediately said, “Xiaoxi said you used unfair means to marry that Li, that Li—”

“Li Su.” Su Qingtan interrupted, she said to Wen Xiaoching, “Ye Xi didn’t say that wrong, I did use tricks to force Li Su to marry me.”

“Ah?” Wen Xiaoching was very surprised, “No, Miss Su, why did you do that? Is Li Su a handsome man or did he save your life?”

“To make a beautiful and elegant woman like you chase after him?”

Wen Xiaoching’s sincerity and confusion made Su Qingtan not know how to respond for a moment, she paused for a while before saying, “Oh, at that time, my eyes were covered with eye boogers.”

Wen Xiaoching didn’t expect this answer, she was speechless.

Three seconds later, the two girls looked at each other and both laughed.

After laughing, Wen Xiaoching said to Su Qingtan, “Xiao Yang and I saw you with Mr. Duan that day, we thought he was your boyfriend.”

“He’s really not.” Su Qingtan finished speaking, then immediately said, “Mr. Duan and I have nothing to do with each other. Let’s talk about Ye Xi.”

“My ex-husband Li Su really likes Ye Xi, whether it was before I used tricks to steal him, or after I stole him, they were a very close couple in everyone’s eyes.”

“But you should have seen it today, Ye Xi doesn’t admit it.”

“I’ve actually seen her here several times, according to my observations—”

“Her heart is on my fiancé.”

Wen Xiaoching interrupted Su Qingtan, she smiled and said.

When she said this, the sunshine on her face didn’t diminish at all, but her eyes became even more clear.

Su Qingtan frowned slightly.

Wen Xiaoching continued to smile, “Miss Su, thank you for your advice, Ye Xi’s thoughts are not hidden at all, I’ve seen so many people like her who covet my fiancé since I was a child.”

“Then why do you still associate with her?” Su Qingtan was puzzled.

“Because it’s interesting.” Wen Xiaoching reached out and fiddled with the green plants next to the bookshelf, the teasing and disdain in her eyes were clear, “It’s interesting to watch these people play tricks under your nose, pretending, thinking that others are fools.”

“And with these people around, life won’t be too monotonous.”

Su Qingtan suddenly felt that she had misjudged her.

This girl, who exuded sunshine, had too many things that she couldn’t understand.

People you can’t understand usually mean trouble.

Stay away.

Su Qingtan made up her mind, she nodded and said, “It’s good that you understand, I was being nosy.”

Wen Xiaoching was about to speak when Su Qingtan took a step back and then turned around.

Wen Xiaoching was stunned for a moment, then she laughed and said to Su Qingtan’s back, “Miss Su, why are you in the hospital?”

Su Qingtan didn’t say anything, she didn’t answer.

Wen Xiaoching sighed heavily and muttered softly, “Why doesn’t she ask me why I’m in the hospital?”

…

After Su Qingtan returned to her room, for a long time, Wen Xiaoching’s image, smiling and teasing others, lingered in her mind.

It’s like having a split personality.

Su Qingtan slandered her in her heart, she lowered her head and looked at the novel Wen Xiaoching recommended.

She read part of the beginning, she directly flipped to the end, then the next one, the beginning, flipped to the end.

After she had flipped through all the books, she frowned and muttered, “Crazy.”

She really has read widely to be able to pick out these tragic endings from so many books.

Su Qingtan put the books on the sofa and went to bed to sleep.

She slept well, but Ye Xi couldn’t even work properly.

Ye Xi’s grades were good when she was studying, she studied for a bachelor’s and master’s degree at a prestigious university, and she found a good job.

She worked as a foreign trade assistant at a branch of the Xiao family.

She got the job through her own application, because of this, she was able to enter the sight of the Wen family after her father, Wen Yongping, was released from prison.

She also had the opportunity to show her face in front of Wen Xiaoching.

But all of this could be ruined by that bitch Su Qingtan!

After all, in the past, in order to not lose Li Su, her backup, she did a lot of inappropriate things. She also often created rifts between Li Su and Su Qingtan.

But it was Su Qingtan who interfered!

If she hadn’t insisted on marrying Li Su, why would she have to work so hard to win over Li Su?

Su Qingtan is the immoral third party!

Now she wants to interfere with her again! It’s really hateful! Hateful!

The more Ye Xi thought about it, the angrier she got, but she was also very annoyed because she couldn’t think of a solution.

She was just feeling annoyed when the nurse she was close to called her, “Miss Su and your cousin chatted for a while this morning.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xi smashed the small ornaments on her desk one by one on the ground.

This commotion attracted the attention and curiosity of her colleagues.

Ye Xi ran into the bathroom, she washed her face to calm down, then came out and took a leave of absence, she went directly to the hospital—

Hospital.

Su Qingtan was woken up by the ringing of her phone, she was a little groggy, she answered the phone directly.

On the other end of the phone, Su Chun’s roar completely woke her up—

“Su Qingtan, get your ass back here!”
