Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 559 - 226: Proposal
"Shang Yin?" Su Qingzhang and Yan Wuxu were both surprised by this sudden news, unable to imagine that Chang Chi had returned with such intentions.
Shang Yin was already thirty-seven years old. Marriage was merely a ceremony for him; even Pello had settled down, likely having discussed such intentions with Chang Chi.
"The sun is quite harsh, butler, keep a watch, I will go in for the sunshade umbrella," said Yan Wuxu pretentiously, glancing hatefully at Chang Chi before leaving, determined not to let her get her way.
In the garden, the father and daughter quieted down. Chang Chi said, "Butler, I forgot to bring the blanket earlier, please go up and get it."
The butler looked up at the sky, the glaring sun; Chang Chi was already sweating as she spoke. A blanket in this weather?
"Butler, do you remember who recommended you to the Su Family?" Chang Chi’s words made the butler bow his head and reluctantly turn back to get the blanket.
"Xiao Chi, what’s wrong with you?" Su Qingzhang urgently asked as the people left, "Are you blaming me?"
"Dad," Chang Chi bowed her head, "I want to make sure none of those who harmed our Su Family can escape."
"Xiao Chi, I forbid you to act rashly; I’ve already made arrangements for you and Ziceng for a way out. When the time is right..." Su Qingzhang clearly explained the investment he made in the Hang Family. His initial secrecy was to guard against unforeseen circumstances.
Thinking that his explanations would change her mind, Su Qingzhang was shocked when Chang Chi’s expression turned even more solemn after knowing everything, "Dad, you must not disclose this to anyone yet."
"Are you still resenting Ziceng? She is also facing difficulties now, and I truly don’t want her to humble herself before those people," Su Qingzhang’s despair and rage from before had been worn down over time.
"No, Dad, you underestimate your daughters. I don’t care about whatever rift there is between you and Pello, what I know is, he severely harmed me and Ziceng." A light of vengeance flashed in Chang Chi’s eyes. Everything was just beginning—the jailing of her mother, her unbearably miserable days, and the Su Family, the injustices Ziceng had suffered—she couldn’t just let it go so easily.
"Xiao Chi, I don’t want the grudges of the previous generation to continue until now; after all, it was I who wronged their family, I... I was responsible for Tina’s death." Su Qingzhang said, remorse flashing in his eyes, "When I was with her in Africa, I couldn’t save her during the critical moment."
"Dad, Ziceng and I have already made a decision, just like all those decisions you’ve made over the years." Chang Chi knelt down and kissed Su Qingzhang’s hand, an action that moistened his eyes. For the first time in many years, Su Qingzhang felt that the two were truly sisters.
When the butler brought the blanket to the garden, only Su Qingzhang was left there, Chang Chi had already disappeared, "These two really... leaving a sick person alone in the garden," the butler muttered, just as Yan Wuxu had gone out.
Yan Wuxu called the driver to leave; it had been a while since she had contacted Fei Qing. Chang Chi’s words earlier had provoked her; she could not give up yet.
Fei Qing thought that Yan Wuxu was still angry about the blood test incident with the children, and hurriedly went to meet her today.
Who knew Yan Wuxu didn’t say a word of affection, her first sentence was: "Have you made any progress recently?"
"Can’t you talk about something else? Don’t be like my mom all the time," Fei Qing was annoyed, knowing Yan Wuxu would be like this, he might as well have met someone else. Although Fei Qing wasn’t very ambitious, seeing that Hang Yishao had rarely come out to play recently, and the other young masters of Mo City didn’t catch his eye either. Before Ziceng’s rebirth, the Fei Family had barely been managing, barely making it among the fourth big financial groups of Mo City.
"Did you get the deal from Shang Yin?" Yan Wuxu saw Fei Qing’s impatience; she had completely given up on him. Ever since Mr. Fei became the chairman, his desire for power grew stronger, tightening control over Fei Family further. He had also grown suspicious of Yan Wuxu. The matter of the children would eventually need investigating, but currently, she still had hopes on Fei Qing, and couldn’t simply dismiss him now.
