Rebirth of the Heavenly Empress Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Make Her Apologize!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Lun and Uncle Chen stood downstairs as they watched Su Huiqing go up the spiral staircase to her room.

 The hem of her school uniform swayed in an arc as she moved. Whenever she set aside that lazy attitude of hers, she needed no flowery words for her presence was enough to dominate the entire place.

 “What’s wrong?” Su Ruohua came from outside, and she saw both of them rooted to the ground.

 Uncle Chen was the first to snap back to his senses. When he saw Su Ruohua, he poured her a cup of coffee.

 Su Ruohua took the cup of coffee and sat on the sofa while staring at Su Lun.

 “Qingqing changed a lot.” Su Lun was very emotional and told the whole incident regarding the Yu Family. “She even said that the Su Family will be part of the International Association one day!”

When she heard the last sentence, Su Ruohua placed the teacup down and laughed. “Joining the International Association isn’t easy. This brat boasts without shame!”

“She is not familiar with the company yet, so it’s quite possible that she does not know what the International Association stands for. The moment she does, she probably won’t say such words anymore.” Su Lun chuckled.

 At the moment, the most important thing was the Zhang Family’s project.

 That project was a gateway to enter the International Association.

 Despite it being a slim hope, they still definitely rushed like ducks.

 The Su Family was not an exception as well.

“But I never joke around.” Upstairs, Su Huiqing raised her brow as she sat in front of the computer.

 After she had muttered that sentence, she switched the computer on with a lazy expression.

 With one hand placed on the chair and another on the computer mouse, she swiftly searched a series of documents online.

 The documents were a summary of the few reputable families in Green City. Sun Tzu once said, ‘Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril.’ 

She, Su Huiqing, with eight years of experience under her belt, entered the corporate world once again.

 After the economic crash eight years ago, she rarely interfered with International Association matters. Because whenever she did, the financial sector would face another crash!

Suddenly, she stopped moving the mouse.

 A pair of black eyes squinted as the internet page showed a newspaper article. But what caught her attention was not the content of the article, instead, it was the person featured in there.

 But to be more exact, it was a silhouette that she saw.

 A back view and a black car.

 Su Huiqing recognized the person at a glance.

 The person who those reporters wanted to take pictures of was supposed to be Chu Xuning, but they ended up taking photos of Yu Shijin. However, the photo was a blur. If it wasn’t, they wouldn’t publish the article.

A purple and gold flower symbol. Su Huiqing squinted her eyes. She knew all the reputable families in the International Association, but she had never seen a family with a purple and gold flower.

 Although they had only met once, she could feel that he was not an ordinary citizen. There was no need to dispatch him if their main reason was just to catch fugitives in Green City.

 Thoughts started to engulf her head, but Su Huiqing could not rack up any more clues. Thus, she searched for more information before exiting the website.

She reached out to take her phone, and then she sent a message.

 [Send me all of Su Corporation’s financial statements in the last five years as well as the Zhang Corporation’s collaboration project.]

 Su Zhi was sorting out documents when his phone beeped. He glanced at it and saw that it was an unknown number, thus he didn’t read it with such urgency and instead took another document to scan.

 All of a sudden, he dropped the document in his hands with a thud.

 He grabbed his phone again and took a careful look.

 That tone sounded very familiar!

He immediately dialed the number. The phone rang a few times before it connected. In a cautious tone, he asked, “Niece?”

 A ‘hmm’ could be heard from the other end of the call.

 “Why do you want the financial statements and collaboration project file?” It was indeed her. Su Zhi heaved a sigh of relief before asking, “Have you seen Zhang Corporation’s Project S? It is very unfavorable for Su Corporation…”

 “Uncle.” Su Huiqing switched the computer off and pushed the chair. She then casually took a few medicinal herbs and threw it into the bathtub. She said, “Send me the documents.”

 It was only four words. That ‘feeling’ came back.

 Su Zhi did not waste his breath this time and quickly ended the call. He did not ask why Su Huiqing didn’t look for Su Ruohua for it and instead, he looked for the confidential documents she requested and sent them to Su Huiqing.

 –

 Three days passed in a blur.

 Su Huiqing threw her school bag onto her desk and Qu Yan quickly leaned over. With a serious look, Qu Yan said, “Qingqing, I can tolerate it.”

 “You can’t back down once you agree.” Su Huiqing sat on the stool and placed one hand on the table while her other hand fished out a few books from her school bag.

 After hearing Qu Yan’s words, she tilted her head to look at her with deep eyes. “Unless you are dead, I won’t give you a chance to back down.”

 The word ‘dead’ made Qu Yan’s heart clench in fear. She probably never expected Su Huiqing, who had then wished for a peaceful community, would say such words. But when she recalled the fugitive the three of them encountered before, she was very clear that it was not what normal people do.

 “Qingqing, I’m very serious about it and I have my reasons for pressing on with this decision.” Qu Yan’s face no longer had its usual cheerful look.

 She could probably guess that Qingqing was not a simple girl.

 And hence, she wanted to press on even more.

 Su Huiqing retracted her gaze and placed the books properly. She drawled, “Okay.”

 Qu Yan had plans to show her resolve, but she never expected that Su Huiqing would agree to that quick. “Why… did you…”

 “Your eyes.” Su Huiqing crossed her arms and leaned back on her chair. “A person’s eyes do not lie. I saw the resolve in your eyes.”

 “Then let’s go and pick a suitable book for me in the library…” Qu Yan’s eyes lit up and pulled Su Huiqing’s sleeve as she wanted to leave.

 But Su Huiqing raised her brow and took out a chemistry book from a messy bunch of books on her table.

 She threw it on the table, and she said, “Copy notes.”

 “I knew it would end up like this.” Qu Yan touched her nose, and she muttered, “Yu Xiangyang didn’t come to school for the last three days. Could it be that he already took it to the next level…”

 Yu Xiangyang indeed did not come to school for three days.

 Su Huiqing figured that he had to rush out another batch of medicinal herbs.

 “Big sister.” After school, Su Huiqing was leisurely walking out of the school gate with both hands in her pockets when she heard someone calling out behind her. It was Shen Anan.

“I knew you wouldn’t ignore me.” Shen Anan quickened her steps and walked to Su Huiqing’s front. She then spoke in a voice that only they could hear. “I just want to tell you that it is useless for your mom to look for brother Mingxi. I will never let the Su Family be involved in this project.”

 With that, as though nothing happened, Shen Anan left.

 Su Huiqing had no change in expression and merely called Uncle Chen. “Where is my mom?”

 “Young Missy, please return home first…” Uncle Chen said in a respectful tone.

 “Where is my mom?” she repeated.

 –

 Zhang Corporation Office.

 Zhang Mingxi poured a cup of tea for Su Ruohua. “Auntie Su, my parents are currently not around since they are away for a collaboration project discussion. But since my dad is gradually transferring the Zhang Corporation over to me, I have the authority to handle this matter. I will be engaged to Anan soon, too, Regarding the matter of the Su Family bullying her, Anan will not pursue it out of goodwill. Hence, I will not bring down the Su Family with our business in Green City, and will only withdraw all of our collaborative projects. But didn’t Miss Su look down on our Project S? Collaborating with us once more will only be possible if Miss Su releases a public apology to Anan.”
