Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 597 - 244: Intimacy

This time, Su Ziceng’s request was not rejected again, and she managed to see Su Qingzhang quite smoothly, without anyone watching her closely.

Su Qingzhang seemed in good spirits, Chang Chi still visited him frequently, it’s just that she mentioned Shang Yin less and less often, on the contrary, it was Yan Wuxu who occasionally brought up Shang Yin. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Ziceng, you’ve lost weight," greeted Su Qingzhang, warming Su Ziceng’s heart unexpectedly, thinking that her relationship with her father had actually normalized by now.

Although Pello had agreed to her visit, it was only for half an hour, so Su Ziceng had to make it brief, telling Su Qingzhang about the recent events, starting with the burial of Qiao Zhi’an’s ashes.

After hearing this, Su Qingzhang’s face changed slightly; he was also aware of Qiao Zhi’an’s unrequited admiration for Qiao Chu, as no normal man would want his wife to be entangled by others, not even in spirit.

Seeing Su Qingzhang a bit displeased, Su Ziceng took out the Rose Handbook and flipped through a few pages before handing it over to Su Qingzhang. Perhaps Qiao Chu’s generosity could touch Su Qingzhang.

There were some things in the Rose Handbook that Su Qingzhang didn’t fully understand, like the matter of "life exchange," which he thought was just a woman’s superstition. At first, he too had somewhat believed in Shen Suanzi’s words, but after witnessing the ups and downs of the Su Family, he had seen through everything and was no longer obsessed with these superstitious matters. Su Ziceng had no intention of clarifying these things to him after all, especially since she couldn’t explain the things about Mussen’s Blessing.

In the end, Su Qingzhang closed the diary sadly, even he had no idea there were so many twists and turns involved. It was all his fault; if it hadn’t been for his negligence, he should’ve noticed Qiao Chu’s suicidal thoughts. And Chang Mei, he never knew that after she got married, she had such an unpleasant experience.

"Give this diary to Aunt Chang, she needs to know the truth more than I do; all these years, she has still remembered the scene of Qiao Chu’s death," Su Qingzhang had to admit, whether it was Qiao Zhi’an or Chang Mei, both loved Qiao Chu more than he did, "About your Uncle Zhi’an, you should also ask Chang Mei. After I abandoned your mother to fall in love with Ye Taina, I lost the right to love your mother," sighed Su Qingzhang.

"Dad, what exactly happened in Africa back then?" Seizing the moment, Su Ziceng tried to inquire about the past events, a matter not only of concern to her but also a perpetual knot in Pello’s heart.

Su Qingzhang shuddered, a wave of alarm rose in his eyes, normally calm, as if he had seen something terrifying, or as though memories were about to engulf him, robbing him of the ability to speak.

Pello appeared in the room, looking at Su Ziceng, indicating that time was up.

Su Ziceng took back the diary, cast another worried look at Su Qingzhang, and the butler came in, wheeling Su Qingzhang back into the room.

"I have something to notify you," Pello stopped Su Ziceng from leaving, "A Japanese agency is planning to formally sue Melin for not complying with company arrangements, alleging breach of contract."

"Don’t you know what they arranged for Melin to do?" Su Ziceng’s face changed drastically upon hearing the news.

"Both you and I are businesspeople, having entered this circle, we should understand the rules of the business world," Pello stated without a hint of remorse in his voice, successfully infuriating Su Ziceng.

"You were the one who brought her into this circle, and now that she has no use to you, you kick her aside. She’s just a child; she should have had a great future, but now, you’ve ruined her future beyond repair," Su Ziceng thought of the innocent Qiao Family mother and daughter who were dragged into this mess and had to face a huge compensation, her eyes nearly spitting fire.

"It’s her own fault for not resisting the temptation, you can ask Molin if I ever persuaded her, from the beginning to the end, she did everything willingly," Pello continued casually, enjoying the sight of Su Ziceng’s face turning red with anger and her eyes flickering.

"You are beyond redemption, I won’t bother you with Molin’s matter anymore, I will take responsibility to the end," Su Ziceng didn’t want to argue with Pello any longer, just standing with him was making her anger flare up involuntarily.
