His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

Su Qianxun hung up on the phone and Old Master Su looked at her, asking casually, “Was that the lass you mentioned previously?”

“That’s right. We’re meeting for dinner tonight.” Qian Xun smiled out while stealing a glance at Su Ya.

When she was on the phone, Su Ya was eating her breakfast with her head lowered, looking nothing out of the ordinary.

“Little auntie, you’re still in contact with her?” Suddenly, Su Ya raised her head and looked at Qian Xun, her eyes seemingly welling up with tears. Even though it was a soft display, it was as though she was complaining about her grievances to Qian Xun.

That attracted Old Master Su’s attention as he frowned.

“Why?” Qian Xun pretended to not know anything as her lips curled into a radiant, devilishly charming smile.

“I thought that after what happened the other time, you would… know… to keep your distance from her.” Su Ya laughed out bitterly, looking utterly helpless. At the same time, her eyes started getting mistier, looking more pitiful than ever.

A glint flickered by Old Master Su’s eyes as he sensed something wrong. “Why? What happened?”

That question triggered Su Ya into an extremely aggrieved expression as her eyes got so red that it seemed as though tears could flow down at the very next instant if not for her strong grit in holding it all back in.

Eventually, she smiled at Old Master Su as though nothing was wrong.

Xu Yafeng then scoffed coldly, “What’s this, Yaya? Who bullied you?”

“It’s not really bullying…” Su Ya tried to play it down, yet continuing, “It was because I let down auntie’s friend in the past. I tried apologizing to her, and she did not accept it, even…”

With that, she touched her face. Her meaning was clear—the other party had slapped her.

Xu Yafeng flared up. “She struck you?”

“That’s because when I was back in school, as a young and immature kid, I helped Yang Sitong fight against her sister because the two of them were at odds. Because of that, she hated me quite a lot.” Su Ya sighed out exasperatedly.

Qian Xun swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled out. “Yes, there may have been some misunderstanding between both of you. She was in the wrong for hitting you the other day, but it was not Shi Guang’s fault entirely…”

She was implying that Su Ya was in the wrong too.

Instantly, Xu Yafeng’s face turned black. “She had already gotten physical, and yet you claim she wasn’t in the wrong? The fact that our Su Ya did not hold it against her is because she is a kind girl! If it were anyone else, things might have been different!”

Su Ya acted as though she did not know what to do right now. But in reality, her heart was thumping profusely—for some reason, she just felt that there was something wrong about this.

“Shi Guang is a simple girl without any scheming motives. She is someone rather straightforward. It’s also normal for her to hate you guys since she lost her sister because of you guys.”

Those words of Qian Xun had Su Ya’s uneasiness even more affirmed.

She had clearly used a pitiful method by inviting Shi Guang to strike at her the previous time around. Through that conflict, in theory, Qian Xun should have severed all ties with the latter.

Why were they suddenly fine and dandy again right now? Not only that, their relationship seemed even closer now!

Was it all because of that one single meeting last night? That man had told her that they spoke about nothing much at all, and were merely having dinner!
