1564 The Sister My Parents Gave Birth To
He didn’t have time to wait for the elevator and ran down. His forehead was covered in sweat.
Xu Zhiqin’s expression was slightly cold. She relaxed her pursed lips and said calmly, “I shouldn’t have had any hope for anyone to begin with. It’s not a big deal.”
Even if the relationship between the two of them went back to how it was in the past, there would be nothing wrong with it.
She said calmly, “Go ahead.”
As she listened to him, she looked like she would never believe anything He Xuyan said.
Only her fingers that gripped the steering wheel tightly betrayed her emotions.
“The person you saw just now is Su Bei, my sister.”
Su Bei?
Xu Zhiqin remembered Su Bei. No wonder her beautiful long chestnut hair looked familiar.
She recalled that He Xuyan and Su Bei had indeed been involved in a scandal.
Sister?
Did all men use this as an excuse?
She held her breath and sneered, not believing him at all.
He Xuyan saw her disbelief and turned her around. “She’s my sister whom my parents gave birth to.”
The coldness on Xu Zhiqin’s face faded a little. “You have the same parents?”
“You know that Su Bei isn’t a child of the Su family or a member of the Tang family. The gossip has already spread. She’s a member of the He family and my sister.”
Xu Zhiqin’s expression turned slightly cold. A sister from the same father and mother? But weren’t they too intimate just now?
“She’s working for a friend, so she disguised herself as a man and became President Su Lu. I was unhappy and went to her office just now. She tried to cheer me up, but I accidentally made her wig fall. She was afraid of exposing herself, so she was frantically grabbing her wig and almost fell. That’s why I caught her in my arms.”
Xu Zhiqin’s gaze gradually warmed up. “Really?”
He Xuyan’s words were very honest. His eyes did not contain any other emotions.
He looked into Xu Zhiqin’s eyes and said softly, “So you like me too. Are you jealous?”
Xu Zhiqin turned her face away, unwilling to admit it.
He took her fingers off the steering wheel and clasped them in his palm. He Xuyan’s voice was filled with joy. “I’m very happy to know that you’d get jealous over me.”
Xu Zhiqin wanted to pull her fingers out of his palms, but he clenched them tightly and refused to let go. She tried to pull her fingers out several times, but she couldn’t, so she could only let it be.
“When did I say I like you?” Xu Zhiqin said awkwardly.
With that, she felt He Xuyan’s aura turn cold.
The warmth in his eyes was about to dissipate. Xu Zhiqin bit her lip. “I didn’t use you as a shield this morning. What I said to Pan Hongsen is true.”
What she said this morning was, ‘I already have someone I like!
‘Did you see that?
‘I have someone I like. Did you see that?’
It was him, He Xuyan.
The meaning was so clear.
She didn’t kiss him because she wanted to prove something to outsiders. She just liked him.
After Xu Zhiqin finished speaking, her lips suddenly felt warm. He Xuyan’s thin lips were already close to hers. A light kiss brushed past her lips.
She pulled her finger away and pressed it to her lips. There was no escaping the numbness from her lips to her fingertips and then to her heart.
“I like you, Xu Zhiqin,” He Xuyan said seriously.
Tears welled up in Xu Zhiqin’s eyes. Just as she was about to speak, a figure flashed past outside. She said in surprise, “President Su?”
Su Bei was embarrassed and vexed to be seen. She had ruined such a good atmosphere.
He Xuyan rolled down the car window. “Su Bei?”
Hearing He Xuyan call her by her real name, Su Bei knew that she did not have to hide her identity in front of Xu Zhiqin anymore.
“Brother, Zhiqin, I didn’t follow you here on purpose. I just thought that if it was difficult for my brother to explain himself, I could personally explain it to you, Zhiqin. I’m sorry.” Although Su Bei was still dressed as a man, she had a soft female voice. Xu Zhiqin immediately recognized her.
Seeing that there was almost nothing else for her to do, she was about to leave quietly when she was discovered.
Xu Zhiqin pursed her lips and felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t expect that the person who had always been by her side was Su Bei.
“Then I’ll leave first.” Su Bei waved and left quickly.
She hadn’t caused trouble for her brother and even helped him a lot.
He Xuyan rubbed Xu Zhiqin’s fingers. “Treat me to hotpot.”
“Sure, but why?”
“Because I was in a bad mood just now. Su Bei had already agreed to treat me to hotpot. Now that I’m in a good mood, it’s your turn to treat me.”
Xu Zhiqin smiled. “Okay!”
…
Su Bei wanted to sue Xiao Ming and was communicating with her lawyer.
“Lawyer Li, do you think this information is okay?”
“It’s fine, President Su. But I might have to withdraw from this lawsuit.”
“Why?” Su Bei frowned. Could it be that Xiao Ming was that influential?
“Because Hadiya is back. She said that she’s here to sue him. With her around, I can only be her assistant, right?” Lawyer Li smiled.
Su Bei was pleasantly surprised. Fourth Sister was coming back?
“Hadiya is here, President Su!”
The door opened, and Hua Cuo, who was wearing a lady’s professional suit, appeared with her team of assistants. She walked in front with her head held high, looking arrogant and confident.
“Fourth… Hadiya, hello.” Su Bei was still Su Lu, so she went forward to greet her.
Hua Cuo took her outstretched hand and shook it with a smile. Then, she sat down, crossed her legs, and said in a very capable manner, “Is all the information complete? I want to see the clients. As for the legal fees this time, it’s free!”
Lawyer Li and the others were already overwhelmed by her imposing manner.
She had helped various consortiums fight lawyers in the United States and earned millions of yuan every minute. However, she actually returned this time to take on this case without accepting a single cent. She was spending money and time just for this case. It was really admirable.
Su Bei knew her personality. As long as it was a case that interested her, she would not accept a single cent.
She didn’t want to trouble her before, but now that she was back, the success rate of this case was very high!
‘Xiao Ming, just you wait!’
…
Hua Cuo quickly met the victims and learned more about the case.
“President Su, leave this matter to me. I’ll handle it,” Hua Cuo said.
“Then I’ll drive you back to the hotel,” Su Bei said.
She and Hua Cuo entered the elevator and smiled. “Fourth Sister, thank you so much for coming back to help.”
She knew that her disguise could not be hidden from Hua Cuo.
She had probably exposed herself as soon as they met, so there was no need to pretend anymore.
Hua Cuo could tell. She smiled and said, “I’ve seen your disguises since I was young, so there’s no reason for me not to recognize you. However, I’m not doing this to help you this time. It’s my duty and responsibility to help these victims.”
