Chapter 2223: Acting the Part of a Dog Quite Competently

Later, quite a few changes occurred.

There was no longer any need for this agreement to continue.

Taking advantage of this contact, Jiang Mobai sent a reply: No need to report to me from now on.

Less than ten seconds after this message was sent, Sui Xin's call came in.

Sui Xin on the phone sounded cautious and panicked: "May I ask, did I do something wrong that made you angry?"

"It's not about right or wrong, it's just no longer necessary."

"Why is it not necessary? Could it be... you don't like Su Kexuan anymore?"

"This is a matter between us; I don't need to explain it to you. Anyway, your younger brother has already seen a doctor as he wished, so I haven't broken the agreement. Let's just leave it at that."

After saying this, Jiang Mobai hung up the phone.

His face wore a look of relief.

But on the other end, Sui Xin's face was ferocious.

She had finally found an opportunity to form a bond with Jiang Mobai.

And it was just gone like that?

Sui Xin was not reconciled.

She clenched her fists tightly, determined to find out the reason!

Thinking that this matter must be related to Su Kexuan, Sui Xin immediately called her.

"Something up?"

Once the call was connected, Su Kexuan's voice carried its usual indifference.

A cold glint flashed in the depths of Sui Xin's eyes.

Yet her voice was soft: "I remember you once ate a certain brand of cheese sticks, and my younger brother loves them too, but the shop I usually buy them from is out of stock, so I wanted to ask, where did you buy yours?"

"Sorry, I'm not sure either, because they were a gift from a friend."

"Could you help me ask?"

"Mm, I'll let you know once I've asked."

"Okay, thank you very much. You must be busy, so I won't disturb you."

Sui Xin hung up the phone proactively and sensibly.

But the moment the call ended, the corners of Sui Xin's mouth immediately drooped.

Her whole body radiated a sinister, baleful aura.

She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Su Kexuan to meet.

And then, from Su Kexuan's words, find out how her recent relationship with Jiang Mobai was going.

But after speaking with Su Kexuan and Jiang Mobai separately, Sui Xin suddenly discovered a problem:

In the background of both calls, the sound of an electric drill could be heard.

The sound was intermittent, yet very rhythmic...

Because the staircase was broken, the person in charge of the art gallery was worried about safety issues and had people reinforce it temporarily.

Yet it was this very action that led Sui Xin to deduce that Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan were together!

So Jiang Mobai ending the cooperative relationship wasn't because he was giving up on Su Kexuan.

On the contrary...

The two of them had made new progress!

This discovery made Sui Xin's eyes look terrifying.

With a wave of her hand, she smashed the vase on the table hard against the floor!

She stared fixedly at the vase fragments, wishing that the one smashed to pieces right now was Su Kexuan!

In the room, the air froze.

Sui Xin also sat like a statue, not knowing how long she had been there.

Suddenly, faint sounds of arguing came from outside the room.

The arguing grew louder.

It was even mixed with screaming.

Sui Xin's eyes moved.

She could tell that the person screaming crazily was Song Yue.

A few days ago, several staff members from relevant departments came here for a routine inspection.

Seeing Sui Xiaoliang running around, they said this place wasn't suitable for a child to stay for long and suggested sending the child home.

Sui Xin's father had already grown distant from Song Yue.

He took advantage of this opportunity to have Song Yue stay at the hotel with the child.

Song Yue refused and would pick fights with Sui Xin's father whenever she had the chance.

At this moment, the two of them were in the middle of a heated row.

Listening to the arguing, Sui Xin became increasingly calm.

Suddenly, she curled the corners of her lips...

In the office not far away, Song Yue pushed the office door open with force.

She left with red eyes, full of rage.

But before getting into the car, she still harbored a hope that her husband would come to hold her back.

However...

Nothing happened.

Song Yue gritted her teeth, pulled open the car door, and sat inside.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of a figure rushing over from the corner of her eye.

Song Yue felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Yet, she immediately put on a proud expression.

But upon seeing that the person who arrived was Sui Xin, her expression darkened again.

Sui Xin was panting heavily from running.

Arriving by the car, she handed over a bottle of ice-cold mineral water and said timidly, "Use a cold compress; your eyes won't swell."

Song Yue did not appreciate the gesture at all.

She threw the mineral water away directly and scolded coldly, "What is the meaning of this? Are you mocking me!?"

"How could I be? I'm caring about you! You and Dad used to have such a good relationship, but you've been arguing so much lately; it's too damaging to your bond."

"Hmph, you are still mocking me!!"

Thinking that even a lowly Sui Xin dared to be sarcastic with her, Song Yue raised her hand and swung it over in a fit of anger.

Slap—

Song Yue did not hold back with this slap.

A palm print immediately appeared on Sui Xin's face!

The pain in her cheek made Sui Xin clench her fists tightly.

But in an instant, she loosened her grip again.

Then, looking at Song Yue with a pitiful expression, she asked, "Do you feel a bit better now?"

This performance of hers pleased Song Yue.

Song Yue gave a mocking laugh: "I really didn't expect you to be so competent at playing the dog now!"

"Please don't say that; I, I just want you and Dad to stop arguing."

"Hmph, is it me who wants to argue? It's clearly your father who has changed!"

After roaring this, Song Yue began to complain about Sui Xin's father.

In the past, it would have been impossible for her to nag about these things in front of her stepdaughter.

But life lately had been too stifling.

Song Yue went on and on without end.

Sui Xin listened with great impatience.

Several times, she wanted to interrupt the other person with a cold face.

But Sui Xin held back.

Taking advantage of the moment Song Yue was wiping her tears with a tissue, she advised, "Auntie, don't cry anymore. Your eyes are all swollen; it won't look good."

"Even with swollen eyes, I look better than that mentally ill mother of yours!"

"That goes without saying; she has issues, and you don't. However..."

Sui Xin paused deliberately.

Song Yue pressed, "However what?"

"My mother's personality is too delicate; she cries whenever she encounters anything. Although a woman's tears are a kind of weapon, a man's patience is limited. If you cry too much, it will only hurt the relationship between two people. I... don't want you to follow in my mother's footsteps."

The tone of Sui Xin's voice was extremely sincere.

It was as if she were truly looking out for Song Yue.

Yet, Song Yue did not care for it.

Rolling her eyes, she mocked, "What kind of person is your mother? How can she compare to me?"

"Naturally, there is no comparison between the two of you. I only said that to give you a sense of crisis, Auntie."

Speaking of a sense of crisis, Song Yue had plenty of insight into that.

And once a woman has a sense of crisis, she will do something to demonstrate her status.

Song Yue naturally took action as well.

As for the result...

It was to be driven away by her own husband!

A fire of rage ignited in Song Yue's chest.

She could not suppress it at all.

Seeing Song Yue in this state, Sui Xin knew that her instigation had worked.

Now, she needed to make this fire burn even brighter!

Sui Xin lowered her brows, masking the excitement in her eyes.

Then she said, "I suggest, Auntie, that you learn a thing or two from Su Kexuan."

Li Beijue's expression sank in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
