Chapter 2417 Huo Siqian’s Stress (8)

“Big Brother Yu... I...” Wei Ying stuttered; she was not prepared for this at all.

“Stop calling me like you know me, I wouldn’t have even looked at you if it weren’t for your brother... don’t be so thickfaced, alright?” Then, Su Yu got up, kicked away his chair, and headed for the door.

An immediately got up and followed after him... He knew that if Wei Ying wasn’t a woman or related to Wei Liao, he probably would’ve slapped her on the face.

Ying-Ying, what just happened, why did he get so mad all of a sudden? I thought you guys were close,” Wei Ying’s friend asked in a low voice.

“How the f*ck would I know!” Wei Ying shrieked, feeling a bit wronged.

Thanks to that outburst, Su Yu was no longer in the mood to drink at all.

“An, take me back to the mansion and then drive my car home. You can pick me up tomorrow morning.”

Yes, Boss.”

An didn’t say anything else upon seeing that Su Yu was in a bad mood, so he drove Su Yu back to his private mansion. After coming out of the shower, Su Yu saw a bunch of unread messages and red pockets on his WeChat.

Most of them were from artists under his label and some from his close friends.

Su Yu opened them all, and he saw Nie Lingxuan sent him a red pocket – 520 Yuan (TL Note: 520 means I love you in Chinese).

Su Yu frowned, accepted the red pocket, and sent her 888 back.

“Thank you, President Su,” Nie Lingxuan replied with a smiley face. She seemed to be in a great mood.

“The company will treat you well if you work hard. You’re a smart girl... Don’t do what Jian Tong did.” Su Yu rarely talked to his label’s artists that much, but he wanted to remind her.

Upon seeing his message, Nie Lingxuan sank into deep thought – what did Su Yu mean by this? Was Su Yu trying to remind her not to be so manipulative, or not to chase after him?

“Good night, President Su.” Nie Lingxuan decided not to voice any of her questions.

Su Yu didn’t respond. He scrolled through his friend circle and clicked into Huo Mian’s profile picture. It was a photo of her family of four, and they were all wearing outfits from the Republican era.

Qin Chu was wearing a little turquoise gown while Huo Mian had on a qipao of the same color. Her hair was tied up in a Republican era bun, which made her seem more elegant than ever.

Even the twins looked so adorable in their qipao.

What a happy family of four...

Su Yu sighed. After some thought, he opened their conversation window and typed “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

However, after typing that, it seemed inappropriate, so he deleted it without saying anything to her. He knew he shouldn’t be disturbing her life. Loving her quietly was probably the best for both of them.

-Deep into the night –

Huo Siqian hadn’t been sleeping well lately; he got up and walked into his study.

Pulling open one of his drawers, Huo Siqian took out a white medicine bottle and swallowed three pills. His doctor told him to take one pill a day, but it didn’t work for him anymore... He needed a stronger dose.

He removed his gold-rimmed glasses and sat down in front of his desk. A lot of things had happened over the last few weeks, and Mo Xue’er’s death actually left him feeling a bit guilty.

He even wondered if things would’ve been different if he didn’t help her to fame all those years ago.

Ian gave him one month... And the countdown had already begun. He doesn’t have much time left.

What was he supposed to do?

“Mian... my Mian... Tell me, what should I do?” Huo Siqian asked himself as he looked at Huo Mian’s photo from high school.
