Chapter 1666: So Calculative (1)
EndlessFantasy Translation
Meanwhile, in the office, Dongfang Liuyun did not turn around as she listened to Lan Xiu slam the door and leave.
Her hands propped up against the cold floor-to-ceiling window in front of her as she looked at the flickering lights below. She was in a daze as she took a deep breath. For some reason, her heart felt heavy.
However, what else could she say.
There were some people who could only be met by chance and not sought after. They would not feel regret because…
However, it seemed that this was also the position that they should be in. Dongfang Liuyun had always been very clear in her heart. She was also very clear about her own position. Therefore, if she was given another chance, she would definitely not have asked Lan Xiu.
“I wish you good luck!”
After a long while, Dongfang Liuyun gently clasped her hands together, closed her eyes quietly, and muttered softly.
Her very soft voice drifted in the air after that, as if she had never said anything.
The phone on the table was flashing this whole time. It was muted, so Dongfang Liuyun could not hear it.
…
It was a common thing to leave early and return late these days. After a few days, Su Chen also felt a little exhausted.
Qin Su’s follow-up work was quite smooth, but things were tough on Su Chen’s end. He needed to provide a lot of detailed information and cooperate with the investigation of the task force. It was found that this car accident was indeed not an ordinary car accident, but was premeditated.
It was a very bad car accident, so it was not great on Su Chen’s end and not easy for Qin Su’s side either.
It was already close to midnight, in Su Chen’s office.
Qin Su was still sitting on the sofa, focused on reading the information Su Chen had just collected. Xiao Xu was also sitting on the side to help.
“These are the information from the surveillance footage we just found. The truck’s information is also roughly clear. You’d probably have to go to the countryside with the task force tomorrow. It’s already very late. Staff Officer Qin, you should go back and rest early. You’ve been busy day and night for so many days. You should rest well.”
Su Chen slowly stood up and looked at the woman who was still sitting on the sofa. He reminded her in a low voice.
Hearing this, Qin Su shifted her gaze away from the document in front of her. She looked up at the clock and realized that it was already very late!
Closing the document in his hand, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten the time. I’ve wasted a lot of your time. We’ll go back now.”
Su Chen looked at the time on his phone. After some thought, he said, “It’s almost midnight. I didn’t even manage to have dinner. If Staff Officer Qin doesn’t mind, let’s have supper together. I’m sure you’re all hungry.”
Supper?
As soon as he said that, Qin Su suddenly felt a sense of hunger in her stomach.
“Let’s go!”
As he said that, Su Chen also took the briefcase by the side, took the hat, and walked out of the door.
Qin Su frowned. A hint of hesitation flashed across her stern face. It disappeared in a flash. Then, she gave Xiao Xu a look and the two of them followed him out.
Secretary He, who had been waiting outside for a long time, quickly closed the door as well.
There was no longer the hustle and bustle of the day and the heat. The night was a little cool with stars everywhere. It was a very clear night.
They went to Imperial Sky Entertainment City.
Su Chen was used to this place. The atmosphere was pretty good. It was not that kind of rock ‘n’ roll and deafening heavy metal music. This place was obviously more suitable for relaxing. Moreover, the food here was very delicious. Most importantly, Mu Yuchen was paying, he would definitely not stand on ceremony.
However, what surprised Su Chen was that Liang Jing was here too!
“Mother Zhou, why are you here?”
After they booked the private room, Su Chen quickly pulled Liang Jing out.
“There’s someone celebrating their birthday, and it’s my day off, so I wanted to relax a little. Good boy, who’s that very beautiful woman? How dare you bring another woman to a place like this? Be careful, or I’ll cut you! You should learn from the good, not from the bad! Be careful, you better cut off that girl or it might have a bad effect. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that I won’t mention it to your father. I guarantee that he’ll break your legs right away!”
Liang Jing’s words were naturally very serious, and her eyes were filled with disapproval.
Su Chen frowned, pulled Liang Jing, and walked to a corner—
“Mother Zhou, you’re overthinking it! Do you also think that girl is very beautiful? That girl over there!”
While pulling Liang Jing aside, Su Chen lowered his voice and asked.
Liang Jing carefully recalled how she looked when she saw Qin Su just now, and there was still a hint of surprise in her eyes—
“She is beautiful, but all beautiful women are poisonous. Su Chen, don’t have such thoughts, understand? You already have Ji Zitong, so don’t think about getting more when you already have something in hand. You’d better give up on this as soon as possible, understand?”
“No, Mother Zhou! That’s Zimo’s! Zimo’s partner!”
Su Chen took a deep breath and quickly turned his head to whisper in Liang Jing’s ear!
“Since you think that the girl is not bad too, then I think that Zimo might really have a chance this time! We didn’t intend to talk about this matter. Now that you’ve exposed it, we might as well talk about it! Her name is Qin Su, and she’s a Staff Officer of Father Zhou’s military region. She’s 28 this year, and she’s a very nice person. Her parents are both officials of the military region. Father Zhou has always wanted her to be Zimo’s wife for a long time now…”
Su Chen’s words immediately made Liang Jing’s eyes widen. She looked at Su Chen in disbelief. She did not seem to hear what Su Chen said after that. She could only hear these few words in her mind—
Zimo’s lover!
Could that girl be her son’s lover?
Liang Jing looked at Su Chen in a daze.
“Mother Zhou, don’t look at me like that. We’re just trying to think of ways to bring Zimo and Qin Su together. Moreover, they have known each other for a long time and Zimo has a good impression of her. Therefore, it’s not impossible to get her. Whether or not he can get such a good girl depends entirely on whether or not Zimo has the ability!”
Of course, they could not tell Liang Jing about the contract marriage.
Zhou Zimo was such a person. If they did not hold him down and force him to the edge of the cliff, he probably would not compromise as quickly. Therefore, now that Liang Jing knew about it, she would give him some proper pressure to ensure that he would have a better sense of urgency.

“Are you saying that you want to set up Qin Su and Zimo? Do they know each other from before?”
Liang Jing narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded—
“Yes, Mother Zhou. Qin Su saved Zimo once before, and Zimo is very grateful to her. He even said that he wouldn’t marry anyone other than Qin Su, but he didn’t dare to show it. We need to help him. Of course, we can’t let him and Qin Su know, otherwise…”
