Chapter 112: I Don’t Wish To See Her at Yi Zhong High School Tomorrow

Zhang Mingxi’s eyes were glued to the screen. His chiseled face was very grim.

He was holding his breath waiting for Su Huiqing’s answer.

Even he himself didn’t realize that his fingernails had already pierced the skin of his own palm.

He did have his doubts and had been momentarily moved during that period of time.

But in the end, he was the one who cut himself off.

On the screen, Su Huiqing was standing sideways, one hand in her pocket and the other holding onto her bag. She gazed calmly into the camera.

Zhang Mingxi was mentally prepared for Su Huiqing’s disappointed expression.

But there wasn’t any.

After hearing the reporter’s question, that person just shook her head with a chuckle. “I am very grateful to them for teaching me what kind of people deserve my trust. The people in Su Corporation, who stood by me under those circumstances, are the ones whom I should cherish.”

Her eyes were cold.

But there was no hatred and no disappointment.

Zhang Mingxi turned off the screen anxiously.

Mrs. Zhang opened the car door. She couldn’t help pursing her lips on seeing Zhang Mingxi’s lost expression.

She knew her own son very well. This was the most bitter pain in the world: having once had the best, but mercilessly throwing it all away by one’s own free will.

The privileged Zhang Mingxi would not be able to bear such a blow.

But she had already said and done all that she could. Zhang Mingxi himself had to bear the consequences.

The seizure of the Zhang Corporation had happened too suddenly. Even though this matter had been on lockdown by Superintendent Hong, those people in the business world still managed to gather bits and pieces of information here and there.

In this battle between the Zhang Corporation and the Su Corporation, the Zhang Family could easily lose everything with just one false move.

Meanwhile, the Su Corporation continued to stand firm in Green City, dominating over the rest.

Many people opined that this Xie Zhengyuan from the International Association was no simple man.

Barely anyone knew that the real person who destroyed the Zhang Corporation was not Xie Zhengyuan, but Su Huiqing, who had remained behind the scenes.

The Shen Corporation would soon join the Zhang Corporation.

But the difference was that Shen Zhixing was charged for misusing public funds.

By this time, Liu Qingyu had already taken the Shen Family jewels and fled Green City.

The day before Shen Zhixing was sent to the Green City prison, a white-haired old person came to visit him.

“Mother, can you plead with Ruohua to let me off?” He gripped the railing tightly with both hands, as if he was clutching a lifeline. “Do you know where they are going to send me?! The Green City prison! That terrible and merciless place…”

Mrs. Shen looked at her own son, her murky eyes full of disappointment. “I will not help you.”

“Why? I am your own flesh and blood!” Shen Zhixing collapsed into a chair. “You saved Su Ruohua’s life once. She will definitely not reject you if you plead with her…”

“Enough.” Mrs. Shen stood up. “You have already long expended that favor. You didn’t know how to cherish what you had, and even brought along the Su Corporation’s senior executives with you when you left. Open your eyes and see if that Liu Qingyu of yours is still hanging around!”

“Zhixing, one must have a conscience.” Mrs. Shen sighed and left.

Shen Zhixing had been overly smug these past few years.

He had forgotten that he was once a commoner from the valley.

If not for Su Ruohua, he wouldn’t even have enough money to travel to Green City.

A pity that this person forgot all about his humble background and all his past struggles once he got rich.

He also forgot all the help the Su Family had given him.

The Su Family residence.

Su Huiqing dropped her bag on the floor and saw that Su Ruohua was just making a call. She accepted a carton of milk from Uncle Chen and sipped from it through a straw. Her face was as clear and lovely as ever. “Mother, don’t plead with me on Shen Zhixing’s behalf.”

Even if Su Ruohua did… she would not agree.

They had to make those people who had designs on the Su Corporation think twice, on whether they had the capability of going against them.

Su Ruohua hung up the phone after finishing up with Mrs. Shen.

She gazed at the relaxed-looking Su Huiqing. She looked very different from that day, when she coldly stood before her to block her way.

Su Huiqing was no fool. From the way Xie Zhengyuan treated Su Huiqing, she knew that her daughter was involved in this.

This was the best present her daughter had ever given her. Why would she try to hold her back?

Su Ruohua sent two people over to take care of Mrs. Shen, to let her enjoy the rest of her years.

“I am not that silly.” She sat facing Su Huiqing, looking very elegant. “If not for this incident, I would still have been kept in the dark by you. You are coming with me to the Su Corporation tomorrow, to learn how to manage the company.”

Su Ruohua’s tone left no room for negotiation.

Her eyes brightened further as she gazed at Su Huiqing.

Su Huiqing was momentarily taken aback.

She straightened her body and slowly crushed the empty carton in her hand, before tossing it into the rubbish bin by the door.

“I suddenly remember that Empress Su is still waiting for me upstairs.” She shoved her hand back in her pocket and gave Su Ruohua a sideways grin, before smoothly turning to head up the second floor.

During the entire process, her speech and actions were fluid and unspeakably cool.

Su Ruohua, “…”

It was said that the descendants of every family fought with each other to the bone over the family fortunes…

So why were the descendants of the Su Family all desperate to leave the Su Corporation?

Upstairs, Su Huiqing sat before the computer and typed out a message to Chu Xuning: ‘How are things?’

Her message was like her person. Forthright and direct.

Even from the other side of the screen, one could feel her cold and distant aura.

Chu Xuning glanced at Yu Shijin, who was standing by the window smoking. He looked both elegant and aloof.

After thinking for a while, he started typing on his keyboard.

‘Master Yu has not slept over the past two days, so that he can personally hand the information over to the International Association.’

Actually, there was no need for Yu Shijin to personally handle this matter.

And Chu Xuning had never seen him putting so much effort into something before.

But his message was like a heavy rock dropped into the deep ocean.

Su Huiqing didn’t reply at all.

Chu Xuning leaned against the chair, deep in thought.

At this moment, the principal of Yi Zhong High School received a call while he was at home.

The caller was from the Ning Family over at the capital.

“The person who clashed with our Young Mistress, I don’t wish to see her at Yi Zhong High School tomorrow.” The voice was extremely chilly and domineering. “Our Young Mistress’ life is more precious than the lives of all of Green City’s citizens added up. If anything happens to her, your life will be at stake.”

The heart of the principal of Yi Zhong High School skipped a beat.

From the day he found out that Su Huiqing had clashed with Ning Wenxue, he knew that it would not be a simple matter.

“This Student Su is the Young Mistress of the Su Corporation. More than half of Green City’s GDP is derived from their family.” The principal didn’t dare to provoke Su Huiqing either. He remembered clearly the fate of the previous principal.

And after the recent happenings in Green City, all the more he didn’t dare to underestimate the Su Family.

The voice on the other end turned even more harsh as he said slowly, “I will give them a choice. Our Ning Family will pay to have her sent to the International Middle School; otherwise, don’t blame us for having no mercy.”

The imperious tone was nearly identical to Ning Wenxue’s.

The principal also knew that there were people in this world who could deal death to commoners with just one word.

His expression grew even more grave. In the end, he took up his cell phone and called the Su Family…
