Chapter 10: Two People Who Suddenly Appeared

Why had Su Yin become like this, was identity really that important?

Even if she wasn't the Su family's beloved daughter, if she hadn't behaved recklessly, having already gotten married, he wouldn't have abandoned her. But what was she doing time and again? Stealing Beibei's identity, enjoying everything Beibei had, and even plotting against Beibei?!

How had he ended up marrying such a woman with a heart like a venomous snake?!

Su Beibei appeared hesitant, seemingly struggling with whether to speak, her fingers twirling her long hair.

Qi Jincheng's tone was icy, "Just speak."

Su Beibei clenched her fist, feeling very guilty as she began, "I'm sorry, Jincheng, I shouldn't have kept this from you, but... please don't settle scores with Yinyin afterward, okay?"

Qi Jincheng's gaze was sharp, "You go first."

She took a deep breath, seeming to make a significant decision as she spoke, "It's just that Yinyin had her eye on a gift worth 40 million at the mall, but she didn't have the money, yet she insisted on buying it. I didn't want her to lose face, so I thought of buying it first and giving it to her, but she refused and... she even hit Xiaotao."

Su Beibei rushed through her explanation, all the while keeping an eye on Qi Jincheng's reaction.

Seeing his expression turning incredibly grim, she immediately felt somewhat guilty and said, "Jincheng, did I do something wrong? I should have given Yinyin the money privately. But now she's had a falling out with mom and still hasn't gone back to apologize. She says she doesn't want anything from the Su family, calling it charity, and I, I didn't dare give it to her, fearing that she would think I'm flaunting, I..."

Su Beibei suddenly covered her head in frustration, lamenting, "I really don't know what to do."

A look of disgust flashed across Qi Jincheng's eyes as he immediately grabbed her hand, soothingly saying, "Beibei, this isn't your fault, you don't need to blame yourself. You've already given her face; it's her own choice to refuse it."

"No... it's not like that..." Su Beibei bit her lower lip tightly, looking as helpless as a child who had erred, tugging at Qi Jincheng's sleeve, "I'm really afraid that she won't ever bother with me again."

Qi Jincheng saw the confusion and helplessness in Su Beibei's eyes, and helplessly said, "She has never considered you as a friend, Beibei, you are just too kind."

Su Beibei sighed, blaming herself, "I've always felt that there are misunderstandings between Yinyin and me, that everything would be fine if we could just clear them up. Jincheng, you just promised me, you won't go looking for trouble with Yinyin."

Qi Jincheng coldly said, "I'm not that idle."

If Su Yin had forsaken the comfortable life as Mrs. Qi to court disaster, then he couldn't be bothered to interfere.

Once the divorce cooling-off period was over, there would be no further ties between them.

Su Beibei's expression stiffened, 'not that idle'?

Not looking for her anymore?

She subconsciously clenched her fist, not satisfied with his answer.

The elevator had reached the top floor at that moment, and Qi Jincheng stepped out first, but his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a woman in a black dress heading around the corner into the restroom before disappearing.

Qi Jincheng was slightly stunned; the silhouette was tall, her wrists slender, slowly merging with the image of a woman in his memory.

Was it her? Qi Jincheng hadn't had time to see her face clearly.

Su Beibei keenly noticed that Qi Jincheng's gaze lingered on the right-hand side, so she hooked his arm and also glanced in that direction.

Su Beibei asked curiously, "Jincheng, what are you looking at?"

Fu Jincheng instantly came back to his senses and turned away, "It's nothing."

He must have been mistaken just now, how could Su Yin be here?

However—

The phone in his pocket suddenly chimed with a notification sound, and the moment he opened it, Fu Jincheng's expression instantly darkened!

—Zhou Mo: [Mr. Qi, I just found out the madam is dining with Fu Yanting at the top floor of Haitian Building.]

Qi Jincheng's expression darkened, the top floor of Haitian Building.

That is to say, he had not seen wrongly just now.

That silhouette was indeed Su Yin!

Last time at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Fu Yanting had deliberately behaved so ostentatiously. Were the two of them here for a candlelit dinner now?

Had Su Yin forgotten that they were still not divorced!

In an instant, a fierce aura burst forth from Qi Jincheng, causing Su Beibei to instinctively tremble at heart. She turned to look at him, somewhat frantically asking, "Jincheng, what's wrong?"

While she spoke, she glanced at Qi Jincheng's phone screen, but it was quickly locked by him, a hint of annoyance flashing in her eyes.

"It's nothing."

Qi Jincheng pocketed his phone, suppressing the anger in his eyes, "Let's go to the private room first."

Su Beibei could only show a docile smile, softly responding, "Okay."

As they were ordering, Qi Jincheng's phone buzzed again, again with a new message from Zhou Mo.

——Zhou Mo: [President Qi, I've found out. Qing Luan will be representing Fu Yanting in court.]

Qi Jincheng's expression darkened again, his fingers lightly tapping on the table. Being in the same circle, the lawsuit between Qi Group and Fu's had already turned into another invisible battlefield in court.

The clash between these two leading companies had already garnered considerable attention.

In this lawsuit, securing Qing Luan's support meant victory.

Qi Jincheng pursed his lips, his expression solemn. He had offered a higher price than Fu Yanting. Why would Qing Luan choose to collaborate with the Fu's?

Qi Jincheng typed rapidly on the screen.

——Qi Jincheng: [Find Qing Luan by all means necessary, she must serve the Qi Group.]

Qi Jincheng put down his phone, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly sharpened!

Fu Yanting never engaged in futile efforts, always seeking profits! He had openly picked up Su Yin, and now he was dining with her here. Was this really a coincidence?

Su Yin, who exactly was she!

...

Restroom.

At this moment, Su Yin was standing in front of the sink, letting the water run over her hands as she gazed at her reflection in the mirror.

At this moment, she had shed her disguise. The woman in the mirror was breathtakingly beautiful, but those detached eyes carried a trace of vicissitude, not resembling a girl in her twenties at all, but rather someone who had gone through countless trials and tribulations.

Su Yin tugged at her lips, having died once, one could say she had experienced quite a lot.

With this contract signed, her new life would thus begin. She shouldn't hesitate!

She turned off the tap, dried her hands, took a deep breath, and stepped out.

But just as she was passing by an unoccupied private room—

A figure suddenly appeared, and before she could see clearly, the man pulled her wrist and dragged her into the private room!

Bang—!

The door was suddenly closed!
