Love You Till the End-Chapter 982 - 981: …And Then, You Know the Rest
Qi Jingren took a sip of juice and asked, "How did the two of them meet? I still don’t know, their first meeting shouldn’t have been during the shooting case, right? I remember seeing them chatting in the corridor at Ciaos."
"Do you know what surveillance Su Jiuyi wants to check?" Qin Shaobai raised an eyebrow and looked at him, his expression under the mask full of gossip.
Qi Jingren shook his head, "I don’t know."
"Jue was drugged with an aphrodisiac in the exclusive room at Ciaos. It’s a scent that intensifies the more it is burned. At first, Jue didn’t notice this smell, maybe because it was mixed with the scent often used for cleaning in the room, so he didn’t detect it. But later, when the odorless part was burned out, the strong fragrance filled the air. That was when the effect was the strongest, and it was at that moment Su Jiuyi came into the room with a glass of red wine... After that, you understand."
Qi Jingren was caught off guard and choked on a mouthful of juice.
"So she’s checking the surveillance to find the person who drugged him!?" she exclaimed in surprise, fortunately, the sound of fireworks covered her voice.
Qin Shaobai put his finger to his lips, signaling her to lower her voice.
Qi Jingren knowingly leaned in and whispered, "But even Song Zhike couldn’t uncover the tampered surveillance. That person is really something."
"That’s why Su Jiuyi was brought to the Shi Residence. In this matter, she is both the victim and the key clue." The flickering sparks of fireworks cast an illusory, unreal glow on Qin Shaobai’s mask.
The fireworks lasted for about twenty minutes. True to form, Aotian Group went all out to benefit these guests and also to celebrate the smooth progress of the West City’s construction.
Following Shi Aoju’s instructions, Qi Jingren informed Su Jiuyi that he was waiting for her in the car, sneaking a few glances at the man who had been watching the fireworks with her.
"He has a good temperament, gentle and elegant, is tall and well-built, and he’s wealthier than the Su family, so I’ll give him a ninety out of a hundred." That’s how Qi Jingren rated Ye Han.
But she was telling the truth. Actually, the Su family’s development hasn’t been particularly outstanding in recent years. If it weren’t for the arranged marriage with the Song family, Shi Aoju might not have known there’s such a company in the business world.
Su Jiuyi always felt Qi Jingren was even more eager than Zhao Shuya to see her get married.
After the fireworks ended, many people left one after another, and Su Jiuyi and Ye Han were no exception. However, upon hearing Shi Aoju was already waiting for her in the car, she dared not delay, as he is still her boss, even if she, as his employee, tends to disregard him.
"Well... if you have any problems with cooking, just call me." That was what Ye Han said as they parted.
"I’m quite clumsy, so don’t get annoyed with me," Su Jiuyi replied with a laugh.
"Of course not."
On the side, Qi Jingren couldn’t stand their reluctance to part and couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, saying, "Your boss might just get angry in a bit!"
Though she appreciated Ye Han, she more so supported Su Jiuyi being with Shi Aoju. For one, despite Shi Aoju being a little cold and having a bad temper, she could see he was really good to Su Jiuyi. For another, if Shi Aoju genuinely fell for Su Jiuyi, she wouldn’t have to worry about both sets of parents forcing the marriage in the future.
The best of both worlds, why not go for it?
