Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 607 - 244: Degenerate Intimacy (Third Watch)

This time, Su Ziceng’s request was not rejected, and she managed to meet Su Qingzhang smoothly, without anyone watching over her at his side. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Su Qingzhang looked in good spirits, Chang Chi still visited him frequently, although she mentioned Shang Yin less and less. Conversely, it was Yan Wuxu who now occasionally brought up Shang Yin.

"Ziceng, you’ve lost weight," Su Qingzhang’s greeting warmed Su Ziceng’s heart. Unexpectedly, her relationship with her father seemed to have normalized now.

Though Pello agreed to her visitation, it was limited to only half an hour. Su Ziceng had to be concise in her conversation, telling Su Qingzhang about the recent happenings, starting first with the matter of Qiao Zhi’an’s cremated remains being interred.

After hearing this, Su Qingzhang’s face slightly changed. He was aware of Qiao Zhi’an’s affectionate feelings towards Qiao Chu. Any normal man wouldn’t want his wife to be troubled by others, even spiritually.

Seeing that Su Qingzhang was somewhat displeased, Su Ziceng took out the Rose Handbook, turned to a few pages, and handed it to Su Qingzhang. Perhaps Qiao Chu’s magnanimity could influence Su Qingzhang.

There were some matters in the Rose Handbook that Su Qingzhang didn’t fully understand, such as those concerning "life for life"; he only thought these were Qiao Chu’s misguided beliefs. He initially believed in Shen Suanzi’s words a bit, but after witnessing the ups and downs of the Su Family, he saw through everything and no longer clung to those superstitions. Su Ziceng also didn’t plan to clarify these matters with him, especially the issues regarding Mussen’s Blessing, which she couldn’t yet explain.

By the end, Su Qingzhang somberly closed the book, not knowing there were so many twists involved. All these were his fault; if not for his negligence, he should have noticed Qiao Chu’s suicidal thoughts. And there was also Chang Mei, he never knew about Chang Mei’s unpleasant experiences after getting married.

"Give this handbook to Aunt Chang, she needs to know the truth more than me. Over the years, she still remembers the circumstances 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’s affairs, you should also ask Chang Mei. After I forsaking your mother’s love for Ye Taina, I lost the qualifications to love your mother," sighed Su Qingzhang.

"Dad, what exactly happened in Africa back then?" Su Ziceng took this opportunity to inquire about the past, an everlasting emotional burden for both her and Pello.

Su Qingzhang shuddered; in his still calm eyes, a storm seemed to arise, as if he encountered something terrifying or as though memories were about to swallow him, rendering him speechless.

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

Su Ziceng retrieved the handbook and looked worriedly at Su Qingzhang. The butler came in and wheeled Su Qingzhang back into the room.

"I have something to inform you," Pello blocked Su Ziceng’s way, "A Japanese agency plans to officially sue Melin. She has not complied with the company’s arrangements and is suspected of breaching the contract."

"Don’t you know what they arranged for Melin to do?" Su Ziceng’s complexion greatly changed after hearing this news.

"You and I are both businessmen; since we’ve entered this circle, we should understand the rules within the business sector." Pello’s tone contained no guilt, successfully infuriating Su Ziceng.

"You brought her into this circle, and now that she’s of no use to you, you kick her aside. She’s still a child, she had great prospects, but now, her future has been terribly messed up by you." Su Ziceng thought of the innocent Qiao Family mother and daughter involved, facing a huge compensation, her eyes nearly shooting flames.

"It’s her own fault for not resisting the temptation; you can ask Melin whether I have persuaded her at all. From beginning to end, she was willing," Pello still looked at Su Ziceng calmly, enjoying seeing her face turn red with anger and her eyes flickering continuously.

"You are beyond help; I won’t entrust Melin’s matter to you anymore, I will take responsibility till the end." Su Ziceng didn’t want to argue with Pello any longer, just standing with him made her unconsciously furios.
