Chapter 209 - So-Called High Quality!

Chapter 209 So-Called High Quality!

Knowing what made Su Jianan fall into distress, Lu Boyan felt helpless and amused. “It’s still early; you can sleep for a while longer.”

Su Jianan felt wronged. She answered with an “hmm” sound, went back to bed and looked at Lu Boyan’s surroundings. “Is it evening over there? What are you doing?”

“Overcome the jet lag. I just woke up.”

“Hey? You will also have a jet lag?” Su Jianan said, very surprised. “I thought you’d start working as soon as you arrived in the UK.”

Lu Boyan just smiled.

Although Su Jianan felt that Lu Boyan’s laughter had a deep meaning, she didn’t notice anything in particular. The power in the upper right corner of the phone showed very clear—one percent.

“My phone battery is dying, gotta go.”

“OK.”

Although he responded, Lu Boyan did not show signs of hanging up. Su Jianan poked the screen and the video call was interrupted.

She had accidentally dropped the phone; the phone was unfortunately stuck in place just now, and the front camera facing her.

She faintly seemed to understand why Lu Boyan would have jet lag. It must be that when Lu Boyan was ready to hang up the phone, he found she had connected the video call, so he would accompany her to sleep.

Recalling the phrase “I love you” when he left yesterday, an indescribable sweetness poured into Su Jianan’s heart, driving the emptiness as well as sleepiness away when she woke up.

She still did not get up, but dragged Lu Boyan’s pillow into her arms, and her breathing was filled with his smell.

With only this, she would still be deeply attached.

Because of this little episode in the morning, Su Jianan’s mood was very good all day, and the workday was very smooth.

In the afternoon, Su Jianan sat in the office to write a report. Suddenly, someone knocked at the door and asked, “Who is Su Jianan?”

Su Jianan looked up and first saw a bunch of white camellias.

The young man in a uniform came over. “Miss Su, please sign for these flowers.”

She didn’t need to guess who sent the bunch of flowers. Su Jianan asked, “Can you help me to return the flowers?”

“Young Miss, please don’t joke with me.” The courier smiled. “I’m just responsible for sending them to you. Can you sign for them quickly?”

Su Jianan signed for white camellias, and surely found a card between the flowers. Still, it was the messy handwriting like the day before.

“—Since you didn’t like white roses, I sent you camellias today. Don’t throw them anymore!”

Su Jianan put the card back with the flowers. Jiang Shaokai saw her rough action and wondered. “Not sent by Lu Boyan?”

“No.” Su Jianan shook her head.

Jiang Shaokai whistled. “There is something fishy behind this!”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Su Jianan was afraid of his irresponsible remarks and gave Jiang Shaokai a warning with her eyes. She picked up the flowers and got off work.

Just like yesterday, before she got into the car, she threw the big bunch of flowers into the trash can. Uncle Qian sitting in the car touched his beard and nodded again.

He was sure that something happened!

Yesterday, it’s strange that Su Jianan threw out such a large bunch of flowers. Today, there was another big bunch of flowers. He had to report it to Lu Boyan, when he was back.

Su Jianan didn’t notice Uncle Qian’s gaze. After she got on the car, he kept thinking about how to stop Kang Ruicheng.

Without considering the results, Kang Ruicheng’s third bunch of flowers was sent again the next afternoon. This time, they were ninety-nine bright red roses, which amazed the entire office.

This time, Kang Ruicheng wrote on the card. “Red Roses, every woman likes them, right?”

However, Su Jianan didn’t like the red roses either; she did as before.

But it didn’t work. On Friday afternoon, the courier sent another bunch of flowers on time. Su Jianan signed the name and threw the flowers to the side. At this moment, her mobile phone rang and the number was unknown.

She had a bad hunch. She connected the call, and it turned out to be Kang Ruicheng’s voice.

“I deliberately asked around and knew you like Kikyou,” he said. “Kikyou’s flowering period is about to end. I took a lot of effort to get them. Don’t throw them away again!”

“I like Kikyou, but not the one you send.” Su Jianan coldly said, “don’t send anything more in the future. I won’t take them.”

“Unless you are willing to have dinner with me this evening,” Kang Ruicheng said scornfully, obviously being a threat. “Otherwise, I promise you’ll receive what I send every day. Oh, I know you are married, but isn’t your husband on a business trip?”

Regardless of whether Lu Boyan had a business trip or not, Su Jianan had nothing to do with Kang Ruicheng. Why would she agree to his request?

Su Jianan finally couldn’t bear it. “You’re crazy! Get lost!”

She hung up the phone and added Kang Ruicheng’s number into the blacklist. She grabbed the bunch of Kikyou, rushed out of the police station and threw them into the trash with force.

Uncle Qian noticed that Su Jianan’s mood was a little agitated today. He got off the car and asked, “What’s wrong, Young Madam? I have been curious these days.”

“I met a mad man. When Lu Boyan comes back, I will tell him.” Su Jianan sullenly said, “He will come back the day after tomorrow, don’t let him worry about it.”

Uncle Qian understood Su Jianan’s meaning and nodded. “I will send you back first. After dinner, I will send you to the TV station to see Ms. Luo’s competition.”

Su Jianan settled her emotions and got on the car. When she was about to return home, she received a phone call from Lu Boyan.

She thought that Lu Boyan had something important, but he said, “Nothing, I will have a meeting in ten minutes and I just wanted to hear your voice.”

Su Jianan couldn’t help but smile. “Does it mean that hearing my voice can make your meeting go well? Then, is my voice a mascot?”

Lu Boyan said, “Your voice will remind me to make money.”

Su Jianan was completely embarrassed, and she bit her lips a bit. “What do you mean?” Would her voice bring an implication that he lacked money when she finished talking?

Before Lu Boyan could respond, Su Jianan heard a male voice beside him. “Mr. Lu, the meeting will start in five minutes, we should get in.”

“You go to the meeting first.” Su Jianan said, “I’m arriving soon.”

“OK.” Lu Boyan hung up.

Su Jianan also put the mobile phone down, only to notice that she had several unread text messages. After opening, she saw that it was a text saying that her phone bill had been pre-paid.

Hey, why didn’t she remember that?

Looking at the time again, she found it was almost seven o’clock in the morning, and someone had paid a lot for her account.

At that time, she had just finished her call with Lu Boyan… and complained about the phone charge.

—Your voice will remind me to make money.

She seemed to understand what Lu Boyan said, and her lips were slightly raised.

In any case, Lu Boyan would listen to everything she said, even if it was just a useless complaint. For her, this was enough.

After dinner, without Uncle Qian to send her, Su Yicheng drove the car to take Su Jianan to the TV station.

“Today you can go to the backstage.” Su Yicheng said.

“I know what you want me to do.” Su Jianan couldn’t help but despise his brother. “You put up with her, or apologize to her. Is it so difficult? Do you want me to be a peacemaker?”

Su Yicheng’s voice was tough. “Without you by my side, even if I want to apologize to her, she won’t see me.”

Su Jianan couldn’t help but sigh. “I have already explained it to Xiaoxi for you. Do you know what she said at last?”

Su Yicheng frowned. “What?”

“She said that maybe you just don’t like her enough, so when you quarrel with her, you just leave.” Su Jianan moved to the car door and ignored him. “In my opinion, both of you have problems.”

Su Yicheng slightly smiled. “In your eyes, everyone has problems except Lu Boyan.”

Su Jianan disdainfully curled a corner of her lips. “You can’t use this method to change topics. Xiaoxi is not one of your girlfriends who you can break up with after a while. How can two people be together? You’re six years older than me, and don’t you understand that?”

“I really regret making you marry Lu Boyan.” Su Yicheng felt a headache.

In the past, Su Jianan knew nothing about love, except that she occasionally helped him see things in different angles. She didn’t interfere with the matter between him and Luo Xiaoxi.

After marrying Lu Boyan, she was already taking over Su Yicheng’s life.

Although he arrived at the TV station, Su Yicheng still did not go to the backstage to find Luo Xiaoxi. He just had a staff member to take Su Jianan there.

Su Jianan had long heard people say that the brighter and more beautiful the catwalk was, the messier the models’ backstage was.

She imagined the clothes, shoes and jewelry were piled up in the dressing room, but now it seemed that this was not a pile, but a load of them, and some high heels were too high to wear; the models just stood up in them and then fell, looking awkward…

Su Jianan crossed the barriers one by one and went to Luo Xiaoxi’s side. After a short time, she received a text message from Su Yicheng and asked Luo Xiaoxi, “Are you ready?”

“Okay.” Luo Xiaoxi shrugged. “Today is the battlefield. I’ve checked the clothes and shoes. Their good quality can at least support me to finish this show.”

Su Jianan pulled Luo Xiaoxi up. “Then you go with me.”

Luo Xiaoxi wearing high heels a dozen centimeters high was simply unable to resist Su Jianan, and could only be dragged by her. She asked, “Where are we going?”

“You will know in two minutes.”

At the end of the corridor, Su Jianan pushed a door to let Luo Xiaoxi in. “Go in.”

“Ah!” Luo Xiaoxi cried, “Su Jianan, I hate you!” She was walking on stilts! When Su Jianan pushed her like this, was she trying to see her perform badly?

Damn, she was a model, and she could walk the catwalk!

Just when Luo Xiaoxi thought that she nearly fell on her face, her waist was suddenly stopped by one hand. She was pulled up when she was about to fall down. In a panic, she thought that she must have had an illusion.

If it weren’t an illusion, then how could she explain the fact that Su Yicheng was in this room?

Su Yicheng released Luo Xiaoxi and looked at her up and down. He was frowning in dissatisfaction.

Luo Xiaoxi wore a low-cut V-neck dress. She was not afraid of Su Yicheng’s eyes. She smiled and asked him, “Have you ever seen such a beautiful girl with big breasts?”

Su Yicheng’s voice was so cold that ice pieces could almost fall out. He said, “Go and change clothes!”

“No!” Luo Xiaoxi was a person who was not so easy to budge. “It’s a request from the show; it’s not so easy to change. Besides, what reason do I have…?”

“Psst—”

Luo Xiaoxi’s words were not finished and she heard the clothes tear without warning. She looked at her clothes and silently said “shit” in her heart.

So-called good quality! This skirt was so easily torn by Su Yicheng. What happened?

Such a bad skirt!
