Chapter 697 - 684
Seeing little Susu standing still, Gong Xueyan cried even harder.
"I’m sorry, mommy is sorry... Baby, are you mad at mommy?"
Little Susu moved her mouth, "Really... is it mommy?"
"Yes!" Gong Xueyan struggled to contain her excitement, "Mommy bought you a dress, let’s take a bath and change clothes, okay?"
But little Susu just shook her head and uttered one word, "Hungry..."
Chen Ke laughed and rubbed her head, "Susu, go take a bath with mommy and change into the pretty dress. Uncle will go buy you something delicious, and after you’re clean, you’ll have yummy food, okay?"
Maybe because Chen Ke brought her back, little Susu had a strange dependency on him, and obediently nodded, "Okay."
"Come, let’s go take a bath with mommy." Gong Xueyan wiped her tears and led little Susu into the bathroom.
After quite a hassle, Chen Ke ordered food and vaguely heard the mother and daughter whispering inside the bathroom, finally crying together.
Chen Ke smiled, what a touching reunion scene? Unfortunately, he’s different... He’s unwelcome! Other children were abducted unexpectedly! But only he knows in his heart, it’s no accident for him... He was sent down this path by his own family!
His palm unconsciously tightened, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
Whether it’s the Helian Family or the Lu Family, as long as Chen Ke has breath left in him, he will surely make them restless, never to find peace!
At midnight, little Susu finally rested.
After Gong Xueyan finished her tasks and saw Chen Ke, she genuinely said with red eyes, "Thank you, I know a ’thank you’ means little, but besides this, I really don’t know what else to say, Chen Ke, you are my benefactor, I will never forget your great kindness and virtue."
Chen Ke raised his chin, a cigarette held between his fingers.
Pausing, he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray. Then he looked at Gong Xueyan, "There’s no need to remember the great kindness and virtue, for now... I have something I need you to do for me, I wonder if you’re willing to help?"
Gong Xueyan didn’t even ask, she directly nodded, "You say, if it weren’t for you... I wouldn’t have found my child at all. As long as it’s your matter, no matter what you ask me to do, I’m willing!"
Chen Ke smiled, satisfied, and nodded, "As long as you say that, I’m reassured."
He stood up and smiled at Gong Xueyan, "It’s late today, you should rest early, I’ll contact you again. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your living expenses and contact Susu’s school."
Gong Xueyan was immensely grateful, "Thank you, thank you..."
Chen Ke just smiled and said nothing, turning to leave. Guan Chao.
Helian Si finished the meeting, and it was already late.
He took a break in the lounge, and Ou Guanshen placed a teacup next to him, "President, drink water."
"Mm." Helian Si glanced at him, took the cup, and asked, "My phone didn’t ring?"
Ou Guanshen hesitated for a moment, knowing what he meant, shook his head helplessly, "No."
Helian Si frowned, feeling increasingly upset. He hadn’t expected that Yu Sangwan didn’t show up, and in the end didn’t even call him? How is he supposed to believe she cares about him? Is she just a stand-in? Ultimately, she is not the same as Lu Jinxuan!
Ou Guanshen looked at Helian Si, with a look of wanting to speak but hesitated.
They had worked together for many years, how could Helian Si not see that Ou Guanshen had something to say?
Frowning, he impatiently growled, "Say what you have to say! Show this face in front of me again, and I’ll punish you to clean toilets!"
"Uh..." Ou Guanshen shuddered, quickly bowed his head, and said urgently, "President, it’s like this... I have a resignation letter here, it was personally handed to me by Mr. Fu two days ago, I thought it was a big deal, dared not speak out, hoping you’d reconcile with Reporter Yu today, so I..."
Hearing this, Helian Si also guessed it.
His face grew darker, brows raised, "Resignation letter? Hers?"
"...Yes." Ou Guanshen looked at his expression, instinctively swallowed.
Helian Si was taken aback, sneering, "Ha! Good, very good indeed!"
She even submitted a resignation letter? That means she had already planned to leave him! And she promised him she would stand by his side? So today’s press conference, he was left waiting alone!
Helian Si felt a sense of being fooled, his passion was ignored... trampled!
Inside his chest, a flame surged upwards! This heartburn, he couldn’t extinguish unless he did something!
Helian Si put down the teacup, grabbed his phone, and dialed Yu Sangwan’s number! He already decided, if this time she didn’t answer, he would go directly to the Fu Family! He can’t just be dumped so vaguely! Helian Si has never been in a relationship, he can lose, but he can’t be so wretched!
On Yu Sangwan’s side, she immediately answered.
"Ah Si!" Yu Sangwan’s voice carried joy, "You’re done with the meeting?"
"Ha." Helian Si laughed dryly, "I ask you, why didn’t you come?"
"I..." Yu Sangwan explained aggrievedly, "When I hired the car, I ran into an accident on the road, so..."
"Really?" Helian Si was already burning with anger, couldn’t listen to her explanation, "Such an important matter, why didn’t you drive yourself? Don’t tell me Fu Xianlin’s daughter can’t even afford a car!"
"No..." Yu Sangwan hurriedly shook her head, denying, "It’s not like that, because Jinxuan had a car accident before... So I, for years, haven’t been able to drive myself..."
She had no idea, mentioning Lu Jinxuan at this time was an absolute trigger for Helian Si!
Sure enough, Helian Si sneered, "Ha! Lu Jinxuan again? I ask you, in your heart... between him and me, who is more important to you?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, how should she answer this question? They were clearly the same person!
Her silence, however, was interpreted differently by Helian Si.
"Yu Sangwan, do you really... like me?" Helian Si asked, his tone full of heartbreak, as he remembered what Helian Shuang said and the photo of Lu Jinxuan, he felt various uncertainties and lack of confidence!
Yu Sangwan struggled to speak, "Ah Si, I do like you... truly."
"Really?" Helian Si sneered, "Why?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was at a loss for words.
Helian Si laughed dryly, with decisiveness, "Because the nephew looks like the uncle?"
Saying this, he felt equally bad! He can accept her past, but cannot accept that her feelings for him have other reasons!
"Ugh..." Yu Sangwan covered her mouth in surprise, "You... how did you know..."
