Chapter 2213: Better to Both Suffer Losses
Su Kexuan felt that this was something only a child would like to eat.
So, was Jiang Mobai treating her like a child?
Su Kexuan felt that this was a bad sign.
Once she had some free time later, she would have to have a talk with Jiang Mobai.
But for now, Su Kexuan had to attend to business first.
Su Kexuan turned around and asked the factory manager, "Where were we just now?"
"Oh, we were at..."
The two of them returned to the main topic.
Meanwhile, Sui Xin, who was standing to the side, couldn't get a word in at all.
She felt awkward.
Then she fidgeted for a while.
Seeing that no one was paying her any attention, she went to check on her stepmother to see what the situation was.
As soon as she went upstairs and walked to the door of an office, she heard Song Yue sobbing.
"My son is sick, and on top of that, he's being bullied, yet my husband won't stand up for us—I really can't go on living like this!"
Song Yue repeated similar words over and over, and Sui Xin's father felt his head spinning.
He knew what kind of person Su Kexuan was; it must have been Song Yue who had gone looking for trouble with Su Kexuan and hit a wall.
Sui Xin's father had no intention of sticking his neck out.
So, he opened his mouth and continued to try to smooth things over: "Who else could you have provoked? Why did it have to be Su Kexuan? Even I don't go head-to-head with her."
"Why can't I? Is she some kind of big shot? No matter who it is, they have to pay the price for doing something wrong!"
"Then go settle the score with her yourself; don't ask me to step in."
"Listen to what you're saying! Your own wife is being bullied, and you won't stand up for her—who should? Don't tell me... you're reluctant to!"
Hearing this from Song Yue, Sui Xin's father had an even worse headache.
He immediately retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Is this nonsense? Su Kexuan is young and can help your business, so it's only natural you'd be tempted! It's pathetic that after bearing your children, I end up being abandoned!"
The more Song Yue spoke, the more she felt sorry for herself.
Her eyes were red from crying.
But her tears couldn't make Sui Xin's father feel any sympathy.
Sui Xin's father had come here to develop new business precisely to avoid her.
Yet this woman had insisted on following him, using their son's medical treatment as an excuse.
She had only been here a few days, and she had already turned everything upside down.
It had left Sui Xin's father physically and mentally exhausted.
Seeing that her husband remained unmoved, Song Yue wanted to throw a tantrum.
And the figure appearing at the door gave her the perfect opportunity!
"Oh, look who's here, the one who eats inside and out!"
Seeing her stepmother and father looking over, Sui Xin's shoulders trembled.
Afterward, she gathered her courage and walked in.
Seeing a punching bag, Song Yue pointed at her nose and began to criticize her: "If you had looked after your brother properly, would he have gotten into trouble with that little bitch Su Kexuan?"
"S-Su Kexuan is not a bitch."
"Ha, so you dare to talk back now, do you!"
After saying this, Song Yue raised her hand and slapped Sui Xin.
Slap—
This blow was very forceful, and a palm print instantly appeared on Sui Xin's face.
But Song Yue didn't want to let her off yet; she grabbed her collar, intending to hit her again.
Sui Xin's father immediately stopped her: "Liangliang is still here, can you be a little more mindful!"
Sui Xiaoliang was sitting on another chair playing a mobile game.
As for the farce happening here? He wasn't interested in the slightest.
Sui Xin took advantage of the moment Song Yue turned to look at her son and said, "Su Kexuan is not someone to be trifled with. If Auntie insists on looking for trouble with her, it will bring trouble to Dad!"
Sui Xin's father immediately agreed: "That's right, just stay here and look after the child properly, otherwise, you can just go back!"
"Fine, so now you two are on the same side, and I'm the outsider? Fine, we're leaving, don't you regret this!"
Song Yue felt she had lost face.
But she didn't dare to go head-to-head with her husband, so she could only drag her son away.
After Song Yue had walked far away, Sui Xin looked worried: "Dad, should we go after Auntie?"
"Where could she go? She's just going back to the hotel, don't worry about her!"
"Sigh, Auntie's temper is getting more and more volatile. But Dad, don't worry, I'll go apologize to Auntie in a while. At worst, she can hit me a couple more times to vent her anger."
As she spoke, Sui Xin walked behind her father and took the initiative to massage his shoulders.
Under this massage, Sui Xin's father felt much more relaxed.
His brow smoothed out as well.
Thinking back, the reason Song Yue was able to quickly solidify her position was because she knew how to play the good person.
And now, Sui Xin had also learned this trick.
She was even better than her teacher, using it even more effectively!
Sui Xin's father closed his eyes slightly, his body swaying gently as Sui Xin massaged him.
After hearing what Sui Xin said, he huffed: "You are my daughter, is she allowed to hit you whenever she wants? If outsiders see this, what will they think of us!?"
When it came down to it, Sui Xin's father did not care about Sui Xin at all.
He was only worried that if Song Yue made too much of a scene, it would have a bad influence.
Sui Xin naturally knew what her father was thinking.
She sneered secretly.
Then she continued to play the role of a sympathetic listener: "Liangliang is already seeing a doctor. Once he recovers, Auntie won't be under so much psychological pressure, and perhaps she won't cause any more trouble."
"What illness does Liangliang have? The one who is sick is his mother! Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about her!"
Sui Xin knew her father was annoyed, so she stopped while she was ahead.
She didn't speak again, just quietly massaging her father.
And when her father couldn't see, Sui Xin's eyes were full of the expression of someone watching a good show.
Song Yue was not the type to take things lying down.
She also wouldn't listen to anyone else's advice.
So it was foreseeable that Song Yue would definitely go and pick a fight with Su Kexuan.
Although Song Yue was no match for Su Kexuan.
A woman who has lost her reason is capable of anything.
If it ended in both sides suffering... that would be even better!
The more Sui Xin thought about it, the more pleased she became, and accidentally, her hand lost its precision.
"Ouch, be gentler!"
Her father's cry of pain made Sui Xin wake up immediately.
She apologized hurriedly.
Afterward, she lowered her eyelashes, trying hard to hide her pride and schadenfreude.
Song Yue, in whom Sui Xin had placed high hopes, really did want to go and trouble Su Kexuan when she left the factory.
But considering the pain in her neck hadn't disappeared yet, she gave up the idea.
She stared at Su Kexuan gloomily from a corner for a while, then led her son to the car.
Su Kexuan could feel Song Yue staring at her.
But she didn't take that empty-headed woman to heart.
This kind of person had no real lethality, but was very good at causing trouble.
If she were to act unscrupulously here...
Su Kexuan turned her eyes slightly and asked the factory manager: "Will that Mrs. Sui interfere in the factory's affairs?"
"When she first arrived, she acted completely like the lady of the house, bossing everyone around. But after making a fool of herself twice and being reprimanded by Mr. Sui, she has been much quieter."
Quieter?
I'm afraid it's only temporary.
Especially seeing that Sui Xin could have a place in the factory.
That woman's heart is likely even more unbalanced.
How those two women fought was originally none of Su Kexuan's business.
But after all, half of her own hard work was here.
Therefore...
Su Kexuan said to the factory manager: "Pay extra attention to the factory's security recently, and ensure there are no blind spots in the entire factory area. Oh, right, give me access to the surveillance videos."
