Chapter 2212: Always Finding Surprises

Sui Xin had originally been watching the excitement.

The moment she saw her stepmother approach, she immediately sidled over like a little white flower.

Then she took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, Auntie, it was my fault for not looking after my younger brother well; it has nothing to do with Miss Su!"

This posture.

This look of wanting to speak but holding back.

This effortless betrayal...

Su Kexuan glanced at Sui Xin, then lightly curled the corners of her lips.

Song Yue immediately stared at Su Kexuan, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in an unkind tone: "So you are the partner at the factory; you are indeed young and beautiful."

Song Yue was also young.

But she was not as young as Su Kexuan.

Upon seeing a beautiful woman with outstanding ability, she immediately felt the urge to compare.

But after secretly comparing them, she found that there was no aspect in which she could surpass her...

Song Yue began to feel jealous.

She even cursed "slut" in her heart.

Afterward, Song Yue changed her expression, squatted down in front of Sui Xiaoliang, and asked: "My precious, tell me, what just happened?"

Sui Xiaoliang's face was smeared with tears, snot, and mud.

He raised his hand and rubbed it again...

It was simply unbearable to look at.

With this dirty little face, he began to act shamelessly: "I wanted to take her bag, and when she dodged, I fell! Wuwu, this bad person, make her apologize to me right now!"

As a shameless mother, Song Yue was even more shameless.

She stood up and ordered Su Kexuan: "This child won't stop crying once he starts, so just apologize and let's settle this."

Su Kexuan laughed upon hearing this.

She had a beautiful smile.

But the words she spoke were very blunt: "Go cry somewhere else, what does that have to do with me?"

"You... if the child cries himself sick, you'll be responsible!"

"Is he my own flesh and blood? What would I be responsible for?"

"Listen to what you're saying! You have no public morality at all; be careful, or you'll never be able to have children!"

Song Yue was used to being arrogant and spoke whatever she pleased.

But this very sentence stung Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan was still smiling.

But her eyes were cold: "If I were to give birth to a piece of trash like this, I'd rather not have children at all!"

"Who are you calling trash? This is our family's treasure! I thought my husband's partner would have high standards, but it turns out you're just narrow-minded!"

"What I'm like is none of your concern. But you should take this brat of yours home to dote on as soon as possible; don't leave him out here to make a fool of himself!"

"That's enough! You've insulted my child time and again; see if I don't tear your mouth apart!!"

Song Yue had intended to berate Su Kexuan until she was mortified.

But after only a few sentences, she was so angered by the other party that she lost her reason.

All she could think about now was teaching Su Kexuan a lesson!

Song Yue raised her arm, intending to slap Su Kexuan across the face!

But just as her palm reached mid-air, Song Yue's neck was gripped by Su Kexuan!

"Urgh..."

Song Yue wanted to speak.

But Su Kexuan applied a slight pressure with her fingers, making it impossible for her to utter a single word.

Her face even turned bright red from holding her breath.

Seeing this, the brat grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Su Kexuan.

At the same time, he shouted: "Let go of my mother, you bad person!"

Su Kexuan tilted her head to look at the brat and revealed her white teeth: "I can let go of your mother, but then you'll have to be the one I choke instead."

After saying this, she even reached out toward the brat.

The brat let out a shrill "Aow!"

He immediately hid behind Sui Xin and pushed her: "Go save my mother, go on!"

Sui Xin put on a trembling appearance and pleaded in a low voice: "Miss Su, I apologize to you on behalf of my aunt; please show mercy!"

Su Kexuan glanced at her indifferently.

Then she said to Song Yue: "Sui Xin and I have a good relationship; since she is pleading for you, I will spare you this once."

Su Kexuan finally released Song Yue.

Song Yue instantly lost her balance and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

She gasped for air in large gulps.

Her reddened eyes stared fixedly at Sui Xin.

Sui Xin felt her hands and feet go cold under that stare.

She knew that Su Kexuan... had said that on purpose just now!

Sui Xin's face turned pale, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to pull any more tricks.

Su Kexuan clapped her hands and said airily: "This lady has just arrived, so she might not know me very well. I have a rather bad temper, and I settle scores on the spot. To avoid any loss of life, you had best steer clear of me in the future."

Song Yue was already screaming all sorts of profanities in her heart.

Yet she didn't dare to utter a single word.

She stumbled to her feet from the ground, glared fiercely at Su Kexuan, and then dragged Sui Xiaoliang away.

There was no need to guess; she was definitely going to find Sui Xin's father to complain.

Sui Xin did not follow.

At a time like this, if Sui Xin followed, she would certainly become a punching bag.

She wasn't that stupid.

And another reason she didn't follow...

Was because of Su Kexuan.

Her performance just now must have caused Su Kexuan's dissatisfaction.

Sui Xin had to put in some effort to ease the relationship between the two of them.

Seeing that there was still mud on Su Kexuan's bag from when Sui Xiaoliang had thrown it,

Sui Xin immediately helped clean it off and said, "My younger brother is too ignorant; I am truly sorry."

"If a child is ignorant, you just need to teach them. But if an adult is also ignorant, then it's troublesome."

"That's true."

"Do you agree with what I said?"

"What Miss Su says makes sense; of course I agree."

Su Kexuan smiled: "If your stepmother heard that, she would definitely do something to you."

The joking remark made Sui Xin's fingers tremble.

She then said bleakly: "She is always like this; I'm used to it."

Sui Xin's demeanor was pitiful.

It was very easy to arouse other people's sympathy.

But Su Kexuan's heart remained completely unmoved.

She didn't let Sui Xin continue her hypocritical help in cleaning the mud.

She turned the bag around and brushed it off casually.

With that, the mud was quickly shaken off.

But the colorful things in the side pocket also fell out along with it.

That was... a cheese stick?

Seeing the words on the packaging clearly, Su Kexuan was speechless for a moment.

Ever since that day when a thermos appeared in her bag, Su Kexuan could always find some "surprises" in her handbag.

Things like seaweed rolls, beef jerky, chocolate, rock sugar bird's nest...

The snacks were delicious, to be sure.

But Su Kexuan didn't like having snacks on her person at all times.

It damaged her image as a female entrepreneur!

The factory manager helped pick up the cheese stick.

He looked at the pattern on it and smiled: "I didn't expect Miss Su to have such similar taste to my daughter; she also loves this brand of cheese stick."

Su Kexuan was just worrying about how to ease the awkwardness.

Upon hearing this, she said: "Is that so? Then give it to your daughter."

The factory manager politely declined the kind offer: "This cheese stick has a short shelf life, and I'm not going home this week, so it would spoil if I took it back."

Since she couldn't give it to the factory manager, then...

Su Kexuan glanced at Sui Xin.

She was looking quite expectant.

But Su Kexuan... didn't want to give it to her!

"Then I'll eat it myself."

Hearing Su Kexuan's words, Sui Xin felt a bit disappointed.

The next second, she began to force a smile: "You have great taste; this brand of snack has few additives and a short shelf life, so it's very healthy."

"It seems you know a lot about it."

"Because my younger brother likes to eat it."

Hmm?

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly, his deep eyes brewing with a storm that made one afraid to meet his gaze.
