She blinked in shock, confirming that she had not seen it wrongly.

This… this big shot actually looked at her social media post when he was such a busy man?

This was also the first time Yu Wenci liked her post. Did his hand slip?

She refreshed the page and realized that the like was still there. No matter what, she was flattered.

Su Yunxiu changed her clothes and waved at her at the door. Lin Qingwan put away her phone and hurried out.

Su Yunxiu clicked on the restaurant. There were not many people inside. Seeing that Tao Ping was not here yet, she found a seat by the window and sat down.

Not knowing what the other party wanted to drink, Su Yunxiu ordered two cups of coffee.

Time passed bit by bit. Su Yunxiu glanced at the clock on the wall. Half an hour had passed. Why wasn’t he here yet?

When the hour hand pointed at two o’clock, Tao Ping appeared nonchalantly, her pace neither fast nor slow. When she noticed the girl sitting in the corner, she lost her focus for a moment.

It was undeniable that Su Yunxiu was really beautiful, especially now. The girl’s black hair was gilded by the sunlight, and a few strands of hair hung by her ears. Her fair and clean side profile gave her a likable appeal. Unfortunately, her family background was not as good as Song Yun’s. Otherwise, Tao Ping would not be so against her being with Xu Mu.

“I’m sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way. I’m late. Miss Su, you won’t mind, right?”

Although she said that, there was no guilt in her expression.

“I’m fine.”

Su Yunxiu could tell from her expression that Mother Xu did it on purpose, but she had no choice. After all, she was Xu Mu’s mother, so she could only endure her unhappiness.

“Then I’ll get straight to the point. You’re not suitable for my son. The Xu family won’t accept you. I already told you this when we first met. I didn’t expect you to persist until now. I’ve really underestimated you.”

Su Yunxiu’s smile did not reach her eyes. She was distant and polite. “Aunt Tao, are you asking me to leave Xu Mu?”

“That’s right. You’re just a dancer. No matter how hard you work, you’re only a dancer. You can’t compare to the Song family, and you can’t help Xu Mu at work. Last night, you contradicted the Song family, and we didn’t mind. As long as you leave, it’s fine. Miss Su is a smart person. You should know what I mean.”

“Previously, I turned a blind eye because I thought that Yun was still studying overseas. Now that she’s been back for a while, it’s time for you to vacate this position.”

Su Yunxiu was angered by Tao Ping’s disdain for her job. She took a sip of coffee and suppressed the churning emotions in her heart.

What was wrong with dancing? She liked dancing and didn’t think there was anything wrong with dancing. She had an independent source of income and a stable income. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with her current job.

However, in Mama Xu’s eyes, these were nothing.

“Auntie, unless he takes the initiative to break up with me, I won’t leave easily.”

Since the other party was so concerned about power and money, she felt that the woman’s next step would be to throw a check at her.

The next second, Tao Ping’s actions confirmed her guess.

She took out a check from her bag and slapped it in front of her. At the same time, she observed her expression. Unfortunately, the girl had already guessed that she would do this. She only smiled mockingly.

Tao Ping tapped her fingers lightly and swiped the check in front of her. Tao Ping was even more disdainful and thought that she had agreed.

Su Yunxiu’s eyes were as clear as a painting. She frowned slightly and glanced at the number on it. “Five million? Aunt Tao, are you planning to use five million to buy four years of my life?”

“Is it not enough?”

She only had this much money on hand. On the surface, she looked like a glamorous Mrs. Xu, but only she knew how difficult it was to be a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family.

Su Yunxiu picked up the thin piece of paper. Could four years of love be measured with this piece of paper? Su Yunxiu felt a little humiliated and decisively tore the check apart.

“What do you mean by that?” Tao Ping’s face turned green. She did not understand why.

When ordinary people saw this large sum of money, shouldn’t they secretly rejoice, take the money, and scram? Why didn’t she follow the rules at all?

“Nothing much. I’ll say it again unless Xu Mu takes the initiative to break up with me.” Su Yunxiu’s tone was light, and she gently blinked her beautiful watery eyes. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. As for the money for the coffee, I’ve already settled it. The coffee here is quite good. Auntie Tao, you can try it.”

As she was thinking, she suddenly remembered that today was Xu Mu’s birthday. In the past, he would spend it with a few friends at the KTV together. No matter what, as his girlfriend, she had to spend it with him.

At this time, she could still buy a gift at the mall. The girl’s figure was graceful, and her footsteps gradually became hurried.

After she left, Song Yun came in from outside. When she saw that Tao Ping did not look too good, her heart skipped a beat. “Aunt Tao, how is it? Did she agree?”

Tao Ping: “No, she tore the check.”

Song Yun raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Does she think that the money is too little?”

“I’m not sure. I have to think of another way to chase her away.”

Song Yun thoughtfully held her hand and gently stroked Tao Ping’s back. Her tone was gentle, and her eyes were filled with shrewd calculation. “Aunt Tao, don’t worry. Leave this to me. I promise I’ll make her disappear tonight.”

“Really?” Tao Ping asked.

“Yes, don’t worry. Leave this to me. Don’t worry,” Song Yun said and changed the topic. “Today is Brother Xu Mu’s birthday. The gift I ordered for him has arrived. Aunt Tao, do you want to go with me to get it?”

“Alright, since I don’t have anything to do in the afternoon, I can take a walk around. You’ve been studying overseas for the past few years and haven’t had a good time here, right? Aunt Tao will accompany you this afternoon.”

When she spoke to Song Yun, Tao Ping’s attitude was completely different. There was no impatience or contempt on her well-maintained face.

Song Yun hugged her arm and said coquettishly, “Okay! Aunt Tao is so nice.”

“You’re still as spoiled as when you were young. Let’s go.”

Song Yun reminded her considerately, “What about this cup of coffee? Is Aunt Tao not drinking anymore?”

“No, why would I drink this kind of coffee? It’s not classy at all. Let’s go shopping.”

“Okay.” Song Yun smiled and followed beside her.
