At that moment, Su Yin and Fu Yanting were both sitting in the back seat of the car.
Fu Yanting looked at Su Yin with a gentleman's smile at the corner of his lips, "Coming to pick you up this time, I hope I haven't caused you any trouble?"
Su Yin's gaze shifted slightly, and instead of answering, she asked, "Does President Fu often surprise people like this?"
Fu Yanting's long legs shifted slightly as he lazily leaned back in his seat, looking at Su Yin, "Not everyone can surprise me, but Miss Qing Luan makes it worthwhile."
When Fu Yanting smiled, shallow dimples appeared on his face, adding more charm to his already intriguing demeanor.
Qing Luan.
Sister Guo really told him.
Su Yin raised an eyebrow, "President Fu must be joking."
Fu Yanting, with a hooked corner of his lips, silently sized up the person beside him.
A delicate palm-sized face, gentle almond-shaped eyes, even without makeup, she was still stunningly beautiful.
Thinking of the recently emerged real heiress of the Su Family, Fu Yanting's interest grew.
Fu Yanting suddenly chuckled, "President Qi must not even know your identity until now."
Su Yin looked startled, her hands on her lap instinctively clenched, her sharp nails instantly digging into her palms.
She had never intended to deliberately conceal her identity from Qi Jincheng. When they had just gotten married, the Qi Group had also taken on a very difficult case, seeing Qi Jincheng worrying every day, Su Yin had gathered the courage to tell him her true identity.
Only...
Su Yin came back to her senses, and looking up, she saw Fu Yanting looking at her meaningfully, "None of this matters."
Su Yin's eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons, her demeanor mostly cool, but her smile made her look enticing, especially with the small mole beneath her eye.
Fu Yanting watched her with interest, "Has anyone ever told you that you have a lovely smile, like a little fox whining in front of you? If Miss Su were Daji, I suppose I might become the King Zhou who caused chaos with a smile."
Su Yin pulled at her lips, Fu Yanting, true to the rumors, was an absolute fox.
On the surface, he was a gentle and elegant gentleman, but in reality, he was a daunting presence.
As the saying goes, "If Yama wants you dead at midnight, who dares keep you till morning?" Fu Yanting would dare.
Even having been a full-time housewife for three years at home, she had heard of Fu Yanting's ruthless methods.
The harshest time was when someone deliberately caused trouble at the Fu Corporation, Fu Yanting had reportedly taken the person away and tortured him for three days straight, leaving him barely alive.
Although these were all rumors, Su Yin guessed they were largely accurate.
From their earlier probing exchange, it was clear that Fu Yanting was not easy to deal with; she had to be more careful.
Su Yin smiled, "Mr. Fu, I hope our cooperation will be pleasant."
Fu Yanting's eyes twinkled with an unfathomable smile, "Pleasant cooperation, I wonder if I might have the fortune of inviting Miss Qing Luan to lunch?"
Su Yin shook her head, "Not now, Mr. Fu. This case is a bit complicated, I need to prepare thoroughly; it won't be too late for Mr. Fu to invite me to lunch after its success."
Fu Yanting watched her, his eyes assessing her.
Everyone said Mrs. Qi Su Yin was nothing but Qi Jincheng's lapdog, pretty but useless.
But today, this former Mrs. Qi seemed quite interesting.
Thinking this, Fu Yanting's eyes deepened with amusement, he raised an eyebrow, "Alright, then we'll wait for your next availability."
Su Yin smiled and nodded, then Fu Yanting had the driver take her to the law firm, and Su Yin was busy until late before returning home.
Only when she lay down on the bed after a bath, did Su Yin finally relax. She put down her phone and slowly closed her eyes.
Checking the time, Grandmother's birthday banquet was approaching.
Of course, it was Qi Jincheng's grandmother.
Having married into the Qi Family for three years, the grandmother treated her like her own granddaughter, especially after Su Beibei appeared. She firmly stood by her side, and no one could shake her tender love for her.
Su Yin unconsciously gripped her phone, a hint of emotion flashing through her eyes. She definitely had to attend Grandmother's birthday banquet.
But...!
Su Yin's expression grew darker.
In her past life, during Grandmother's birthday banquet, Su Beibei had drugged her drink, resulting in her falling into a deep slumber. When she awoke, a man was lying beside her—a man she had thought was a mere friend!
At that time, the scandal had erupted significantly. Everyone accused her of infidelity, and the media was flooded with negative news about her. It was Grandmother who, without hesitation, defended and believed in her, and pressed the media to resolve the uproar.
Su Yin could never forget how embarrassed and disgraced she had been back then, while Su Beibei sneered from the crowd, looking incredibly smug!
With surging hatred flashing in her eyes, given another chance, she was determined to make Su Beibei pay for those malicious deeds!
The next day.
Early in the morning, Su Yin made an appointment with Guo Ran to pick out a gift for Grandmother.
The reason for choosing this place was because in her past life, on this very day, Su Beibei had lured her here under the pretense of choosing a gift for Grandmother, but in reality...
Thinking of this, Su Yin's gaze constantly swept through the mall.
Guo Ran noticed Su Yin seemed to be looking for something and asked in confusion, "Did you bring me to the mall because there's something you want to buy?"
Su Yin nodded, "Yes, indeed..."
Just as she was speaking, she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure in the crowd.
The person always liked to dress flamboyantly, like a butterfly, making it hard not to notice her right away.
Su Beibei was also looking around and walking in her direction, clearly unaware of her presence.
Su Yin suddenly sneered, Su Beibei was really...!
She knew her every move!
She deliberately stood still, and when Su Beibei was not far behind her, she spoke gently, "I came here to pick a birthday gift for Madam Qi. She loves jadeite the most. I'm not sure if I can find some good quality ones today, it'd be embarrassing to offer anything too inferior."
While speaking, she deliberately slowed down her pace, pulling Guo Ran forward.
Guo Ran, not knowing much, replied with some suspicion, "Madam Qi? Haven't you and Qi Jincheng already..."
"He is him, Grandmother is Grandmother," said Su Yin indifferently, prompting Guo Ran not to pry further, "So you want to buy jadeite? I happen to know a good store, right on the right-hand side."
Su Yin's eyes brightened, and she immediately pulled Guo Ran forward, "Then let's hurry, Guo. Good quality jadeite is quite rare. If we're slow, it might get snatched up by someone else."
Meanwhile, two figures were standing behind them, staring intently at Su Yin walking away.
Su Beibei, wearing a red dress, still had a slightly sickly look from just being discharged from the hospital, yet her eyes were particularly spirited.
Next to her, a girl in a black tracksuit looked extremely sour as she stared ahead.
"Beibei! Isn't that the bitch who took over your identity for over twenty years and even stole your husband?"
Su Beibei's expression shifted, she immediately frowned and shook her head, "Xiaotao, don't talk like that. After all, the things at that time weren't Su Yin's decision."
"Bullshit! If she couldn't decide, then she shouldn't be so passive-aggressive towards you now! How can you still speak well of her? Beibei, you are just too kind."
Su Beibei's brows furrowed slightly, visibly annoyed. Su Yin was about to slip away and this fool was still babbling!
She didn't wait any longer and quickly stepped forward.
"Hey? Where are you going?"
Su Beibei's irritation grew stronger, of course, to intercept!
