Chapter 705: Su Monong's Desire for Power

Sun Weiwei saw Ning Xue still at a loss, and did not urge her……

Sun Weiwei simply gently took her wrist, lightly led her to the side of the sofa, and gestured for her to sit down.

Sun Weiwei said softly, "Good sister, hurry and sit down, don't stand, just relax."

While saying that, Sun Weiwei quickly walked to the storage room, fetched a clean foot basin, poured in warm water, and carefully brought it to Ning Xue's feet, then squatted down.

Ning Xue's whole body tensed, and she hurriedly tried to get up.

Ning Xue's tone……was full of embarrassment and discomfort:

"Miss Sun, no need, no need, I can do it myself, how could I let you wash my feet?"

Ning Xue's cheeks remained flushed, her inner unease grew stronger, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

After all, Sun Weiwei……is the company's vice general manager.

Her father……is still the company's second shareholder.

Sun Weiwei's status……is far above Ning Xue's.

Now, Sun Weiwei actually has to squat on the ground……to wash Ning Xue's feet??

This made Ning Xue……truly overwhelmed by the favor, and even more embarrassed.

At this moment, Ning Xue didn't even know where to put her hands and feet.

Su Monong leaned back in the office chair, watching Ning Xue's embarrassed appearance, a gentle smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

Su Monong……slowly spoke to soothe:

"Little Xue, don't worry, don't be formal. You two are both my good sisters, we're all our own people, what's there to distinguish between high and low, noble and humble?"

"Let Weiwei wash your feet, relax, relax, it's nothing big."

With Su Monong's soothing, Ning Xue's unease eased a little.

But Ning Xue still felt somewhat uneasy, she could only sit stiffly on the sofa.

Ning Xue allowed Sun Weiwei to gently remove her shoes and stockings, and placed her feet into the warm foot basin.

Sun Weiwei……still had that obedient and compliant appearance, without the slightest complaint.

Sun Weiwei's fingertips……gently kneaded Ning Xue's feet.

Sun Weiwei's pressure was moderate, her movements gentle, for fear of hurting her.

Now, Sun Weiwei's "foot-washing" skill has become increasingly proficient……

After washing the feet, Sun Weiwei stood up again and walked to Ning Xue's rear.

Sun Weiwei…………carefully kneaded Ning Xue's shoulders.

Next, Sun Weiwei bent over……to massage Ning Xue's legs.

Sun Weiwei from Ning Xue's ankle……to the knee, continuously pressed acupressure points.

Sun Weiwei's technique was skilled and conscientious, taking care of Ning Xue in every detail.

Ning Xue leaned against the sofa, her body still somewhat stiff.

The flush on Ning Xue's face……had not yet faded.

The embarrassment in Ning Xue's eyes……gradually faded, replaced by a sense of being at a loss and gratitude.

Ning Xue, watching Sun Weiwei's earnest massage, for a moment……actually didn't know what to say.

Su Monong leaned back in the office chair, watching the two people before her getting along harmoniously.

Su Monong smiled, her eyes……full of the pride of controlling everything.

The smile at the corner of Su Monong's mouth……became increasingly rich.

And Lin Yuan……still wore a helpless expression, eyes closed, letting this absurd scene continue.

Lin Yuan felt utterly powerless.

【PS Friendly reminder: it's really just "foot washing", everyone don't overthink……】

【If everyone overthinks, it's actually fine……】

……

This afternoon, there was no sound of work in the office.

Only the gentle sound of warm water flowing……and the faint movement of fingertips massaging.

Sun Weiwei throughout……busied herself obediently.

From Su Monong to Ning Xue, Sun Weiwei one by one squatted down to attend to them, washing their feet and massaging, without the slightest complaint the whole time.

Even if Sun Weiwei's legs went numb from squatting and her fingertips ached from rubbing, she merely gritted her teeth and persisted silently, daring not to slack off in the slightest.

Now Sun Weiwei, in order to express her sincere feelings toward her sister, no longer cares at all.

She is utterly obedient to Su Monong.

Su Monong……throughout leaned back in the office chair, from time to time ordering Sun Weiwei to do this and that.

Su Monong, enjoying the comfort of being attentively served.

Su Monong, occasionally also making a few teasing remarks.

She looked at Sun Weiwei's humble and submissive appearance……

Su Monong's desire for control……was greatly satisfied.

Ning Xue……gradually shed her initial embarrassment, occasionally exchanging a few soft words with Sun Weiwei……

The formality between the two also gradually dissipated.

Lin Yuan remained seated on the sofa, from the initial helpless embarrassment to later numb fatigue.

Sun Weiwei's massage……never ceased from beginning to end.

After an afternoon, her whole body was sore and limp, she could barely lift her arms, feeling utterly exhausted, her heart filled with torment.

Until evening, the sunset……streamed in through the office's floor-to-ceiling windows, dyeing half the room red.

Su Monong finally spoke slowly, gesturing that several people could leave.

Sun Weiwei then stopped what she was doing and slowly rose to her feet.

Sun Weiwei's legs had long gone numb; she staggered a bit before steadying herself.

Her face showed fatigue she could not hide, yet she stood meekly to one side.

Ning Xue got up, tidied her clothes, walked to Sun Weiwei's side, and gently took her hand.

Ning Xue said gently:

"Miss Sun, let's go together."

After spending an afternoon together, they gained a bit more rapport and lost a bit of estrangement.

Sun Weiwei nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face, allowing Ning Xue to hold her hand……

The two women walked side by side toward the office door……

And Lin Yuan only slowly rose from the sofa after the two had left.

Lin Yuan's whole body ached unbearably; he could barely stand, instinctively grabbing the nearby wall.

Lin Yuan moved his feet little by little, his face pale, his eyes full of fatigue.

He had his feet washed for an afternoon and was attended to for an afternoon.

This was more exhausting than a day of high‑intensity work.

At this moment, even breathing felt a bit laborious for Lin Yuan.

……

Lin Yuan finally made it back to his office.

He had just sat down in his office chair when his phone rang before he could recover.

Lin Yuan picked up his phone and saw it was Su Monong calling.

Lin Yuan hurriedly answered the phone.

On the phone, Su Monong's tone remained overbearing, not allowing refusal:

"Lin Yuan, don't slack off in the office; work's over, come down now—I'm waiting for you downstairs at the company. Also, send a message to Ning Xue and Sun Weiwei telling them to come down too; tonight I'm treating, let's go eat together."

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly, lacking even the strength to retort, and could only reply weakly, "I know."

After hanging up, Lin Yuan sent a message to Ning Xue and Sun Weiwei, then slowly rose and dragged his weary body downstairs.

……

Downstairs at the company, Su Monong was already seated in the car waiting.

Ning Xue and Sun Weiwei were also standing nearby, their faces still showing lingering fatigue, yet they waited meekly.

Seeing Lin Yuan come down, Su Monong urged impatiently:

"Stop dawdling, get in the car—I've booked a private room at the Michelin restaurant; don't delay dinner."

Several people got in the car one after another, and the cabin fell silent.

Lin Yuan leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes to rest, his face full of fatigue;

Ning Xue and Sun Weiwei sat to the side, occasionally exchanging glances and whispering a few words;

Su Monong leaned in the passenger seat, her expression calm, her eyes still radiating an aura of control.

Ning Xue drove, taking the group to the restaurant……

……

Not long after, the car arrived at the Michelin restaurant.

The group followed the waiter into the pre‑booked private room.

Lin Yuan had just stepped into the private room when he froze——

In the private room, Shen Nan Zhi was seated at the table, wearing an elegant dress.

Shen Nan Zhi saw the group enter, lifted her eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Lin Yuan's complexion instantly turned complex, and he instinctively stopped his steps.

He never imagined Shen Nan Zhi would be here.

Seeing this, Su Monong curled the corner of her mouth into a teasing smile.

Su Monong stepped forward, took Shen Nan Zhi's hand, and spoke affectionately:

"Nan Zhi sis, you've been waiting long, huh? Come on, let's eat together—we're all our own people."

Shen Nan Zhi's pretty face froze at those words.

Shen Nan Zhi's beautiful eyes glanced over Sun Weiwei and Ning Xue, the two women, in astonishment.

Shen Nan Zhi naturally understood what Su Monong meant by "our own people"……

So, Sun Weiwei and Ning Xue??

Shen Nan Zhi's gaze then fell on Lin Yuan, her face full of shock, unable to believe it.

Lin Yuan helplessly nodded.

Shen Nan Zhi was even more shocked.

This guy Lin Yuan……

He is practically……the object of envy and jealousy for countless men.

Su Monong smiled, rose, and walked to the table to sit down.

Su Monong greeted everyone to take their seats.

Shen Nan Zhi also sat down beside Su Monong.

But Shen Nan Zhi's gaze unintentionally swept over Lin Yuan.

In Shen Nan Zhi's eyes a flicker of complex emotion flashed, though she said nothing more.

Soon, Ning Xue and Sun Weiwei also sat down one after another……

The atmosphere in the private room…… instantly became subtle.

This dinner was extremely complicated and awkward to eat.

At the table, Su Monong occasionally spoke up…… livening the atmosphere.

But the other few women each had their own thoughts, remaining mostly silent.

Ning Xue lowered her head obediently, occasionally serving dishes to Su Monong;

Sun Weiwei still appeared submissive, speaking very little;

Shen Nan Zhi's demeanor was elegant, yet she always retained a hint of aloofness;

Lin Yuan, meanwhile, felt ill at ease, having to deal with Su Monong on one hand while also avoiding Shen Nan Zhi's gaze on the other,

Lin Yuan's heart was full of torment——

These women, all had complicated connections with him……

But at this moment, so many women…… gathered together……

The air was filled with an awkward and subtle atmosphere.

Dinner ended quickly, and the waiter cleared the dishes.

Su Monong leaned against the chair back, speaking in a flat tone as she instructed Sun Weiwei:

"Weiwei, go bring the foot basins I had the waiter prepare earlier, and wash everyone's feet, taking good care of us."

Sun Weiwei dared not hesitate even a bit, quickly stood up and replied:

"Okay, Sister Su."

Saying that, Sun Weiwei quickly walked out of the private room……

Not long after, Sun Weiwei came in holding several clean foot basins and placed them one by one.

Sun Weiwei then fetched warm water, preparing to serve everyone by washing their feet.

Just then, Sun Weiwei's phone on the table…… suddenly rang.

The phone screen displayed the two characters "Jiang Xuan"——

She was her father's female secretary, usually responsible for helping her father handle company trifles.

Jiang Xuan rarely called her at this time.

Sun Weiwei froze for a moment, instinctively looking toward Su Monong.

Su Monong lifted her eyes, speaking casually:

"Answer it, see what's up."

Sun Weiwei quickly picked up the phone, pressed the answer key, and asked doubtfully:

"Secretary Jiang, what's wrong?"

From the other end of the phone…… came Jiang Xuan's respectful voice:

"Miss Sun, sorry to disturb you, there are several important documents that need your father's signature; he's currently unreachable, so I wanted to ask if you know where he is. Also, there's a work matter I need to report to you."

Just as Sun Weiwei was about to speak, Su Monong reached out…… gesturing for her to hand over the phone.

Sun Weiwei dared not refuse, quickly handing the phone to Su Monong.

Su Monong took the phone, her tone forceful yet casual:

"Secretary Jiang, right? I'm Su Monong; Weiwei is currently dining with me and has no time to listen to your work report. Take a taxi over; I'll have Weiwei send you the address, come by."

Jiang Xuan on the other end froze, her face full of confusion, not understanding…… why Su Monong wanted her to come over.

But Su Monong's aura was too overpowering; Jiang Xuan on the other end dared not refuse. Jiang Xuan could only hurriedly reply: "Okay, Director Su, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up, Su Monong returned the phone to Sun Weiwei.

Su Monong lightly instructed:

"Send her the private room address, and have her come quickly."

Sun Weiwei quickly nodded, edited a message swiftly, and sent the address over.

……

About twenty minutes later, the private room door was lightly knocked.

The waiter pushed the door open and led Jiang Xuan inside.

Jiang Xuan wore a professional suit, held documents in her hands, and her face was full of confusion.

As soon as Jiang Xuan entered the private room, she was stunned by the sight before her——

In the private room, Su Monong, Shen Nan Zhi, and Ning Xue sat together……

Each had a foot basin placed at their feet……

Meanwhile, Sun Weiwei knelt on the floor, preparing to wash Su Monong's feet, her posture humble and obedient.

This???

Jiang Xuan was completely dazed, the documents in her hand almost falling to the ground……

In Jiang Xuan's eyes…… lay utter disbelief, standing rooted, at a loss——

She never imagined that, ordinarily…… the high-and-mighty Deputy General Manager Sun would actually kneel on the ground to wash someone else's feet???

Moreover, this was happening in such a setting, with so many people around??

Sun Weiwei, wouldn't her self-esteem be harmed?

Jiang Xuan suddenly realized, this…… might not be Su Monong giving them a power move, right!

This is a Hongmen banquet!

After Jiang Xuan reacted, a surge of panic instantly welled up in her heart……

Jiang Xuan quickly bent over…… picking up the documents that had almost fallen.

Jiang Xuan's face…… forced out a strained smile, stammering as she looked for an excuse:

"Director Su, Miss Sun, sorry, I…… I wonder if I came at the wrong time? I still have urgent matters to handle; I'll report the file matter to General Manager Sun tomorrow, I'll take my leave now!"

Saying this, Jiang Xuan turned and was about to walk out of the private room……

Jiang Xuan wished…… to immediately escape this weird and embarrassing scene.

Jiang Xuan simply could not accept…… her superior…… being so servile.

She was even more afraid…… of being dragged into it.

"Stop!" Su Monong's voice suddenly turned cold, her tone carrying an unquestionable authority.

Jiang Xuan's high-heeled shoe, which had just stepped out, hung mid‑air.

Su Monong slightly lifted her eyes, her sharp gaze sweeping toward Jiang Xuan,

"You've come all this way, why leave? Since you've stepped through this door, don't think about just walking out; stay and sit properly with the older sisters."

Jiang Xuan's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Xuan…… froze stiff in place, her back…… breaking out in a layer of cold sweat.

Jiang Xuan slowly turned around, her face full of panic and helplessness:

"Director Su, I…… I really have urgent matters; those documents are needed first thing tomorrow morning, I must go back to organize them……"

"Urgent matter?" Su Monong snorted, leaning back in her chair, fingertips lightly tapping the table.

Su Monong's eyes…… were full of mockery,

"Here, nothing is more important than serving the older sisters. Since you've come, don't stand on ceremony—come wash everyone's feet and relax properly."

Jiang Xuan trembled all over from fright, quickly waving her hands……

Jiang Xuan's tone…… carried a hint of urgency and difficulty:

"Director Su, no, I can't wash feet; I've never served anyone before; I…… I just can't do it!"

Jiang Xuan instinctively refused, her eyes full of panic, fearing she too would end up like Sun Weiwei.

Upon hearing this, Su Monong's lips curled into a cold smile.

Su Monong's tone…… was full of impatience and warning,

"You can't? Then you'll learn! At your age, you don't even know this basic etiquette—how clueless!"

As the words fell, Su Monong lifted her eyes…… to look at Sun Weiwei crouching on the floor.

Su Monong, her tone flat yet laden with a command:

"Weiwei sister, it seems Secretary Jiang still doesn't know the rules; you teach her the reasoning, let her know what to do."

Sun Weiwei dared not hesitate in the slightest, immediately standing up.

Sun Weiwei quickly…… walked up to Jiang Xuan's front.

Sun Weiwei's gaze instantly turned sharp, not giving Jiang Xuan time to react……

Sun Weiwei raised her hand and swung it toward Jiang Xuan's cheek——

"Slap!"

The crisp slap sound…… was especially piercing in the private room, shattering the original tranquility.

Jiang Xuan…… was struck, her head turning sideways, her cheek instantly blooming with a bright red palm print.

Jiang Xuan was completely dazed, standing blankly in place, unable to react for a long while……

Jiang Xuan's eyes…… were filled with disbelief and incredulity.

Before Jiang Xuan could recover, Sun Weiwei's slaps kept falling……

"Slap! Slap!"

Two slaps, Sun Weiwei's slap force…… grew increasingly heavy.

Her strikes made Jiang Xuan's cheek…… burn with pain.

Jiang Xuan's pretty face…… quickly flushed crimson, tears uncontrollably rolling from her eyes.

Tears, sliding down Jiang Xuan's exquisite cheek, splashed onto her collar.

"Mmm……" Jiang Xuan groaned from the pain, quickly raising both hands to cover her cheek.

Jiang Xuan's body trembled uncontrollably, her tears falling even harder.

Jiang Xuan's eyes brimmed with grievance and fear, yet she lacked the courage to resist.

Sun Weiwei looked down at her from above, her tone icy and tinged with reproach:

"Jiang Xuan, why are you crying? What's there to cry about washing the older sisters' feet? From today on, you're our little sister; a little sister washing her older sisters' feet is only natural, isn't it?"

Sun Weiwei leaned in, her fingertips lightly pinching Jiang Xuan's chin, forcing her to lift her head.

Sun Weiwei's eyes…… were full of warning,

"I tell you, don't be two‑faced; serve the older sisters well, wash their feet clean, no slacking. If you dare show the slightest reluctance, or do a poor job, starting tomorrow you'll be fired! Not only will you lose your job, but I can also make sure your father loses his—believe it or not?"

Jiang Xuan was frightened into a shudder, her tears falling even harder.

Jiang Xuan's pretty face…… was filled with complex emotions—grievance, anger, fear—yet she had no recourse.

Jiang Xuan all too clearly…… understood the importance of this job; it was a position she had painstakingly obtained, she couldn't lose it, nor could she implicate her father.

Gritting her teeth, Jiang Xuan…… endured the burning pain in her cheek and the tears in her eyes, nervously nodding.

Jiang Xuan's voice choked and hoarse:

"I…… I understand, I'll wash…… I'll properly wash the older sisters' feet, please don't fire me……"

Only then did Sun Weiwei release her chin, satisfiedly nodding.

Sun Weiwei's tone eased a bit, she pointed to the empty foot‑washing basin nearby:

"That's right, hurry up and fetch the water, move quickly, don't keep the older sisters waiting too long."

Jiang Xuan covered her face, took a deep breath, suppressed her grievance and resentment, and walked shakily to the side.

Jiang Xuan picked up the empty foot basin, carefully went to receive the warm water, and brought it before everyone……

Jiang Xuan slowly squatted down, clumsily stretched out her hand, began to imitate Sun Weiwei's manner, and started washing everyone's feet.

Jiang Xuan's fingertips were stiff and flustered, fearing that if she did anything poorly she would again invite scolding and beating.

Su Monong leaned against the chair back, watching Jiang Xuan's flustered state, and a satisfied smile curled at the corner of her mouth.

Su Monong's eyes…… were full of the pride of controlling everything;

Sun Weiwei then squatted down again, continued washing Su Monong's feet, her expression still gentle;

Ning Xue…… looked at Jiang Xuan's flushed cheeks…… and the tears rolling down, a flicker of reluctance flashed in her eyes, yet she dared not speak further;

Shen Nan Zhi remained indifferent, as if everything before her had nothing to do with her;

Lin Yuan wore a look of helplessness, closed his eyes, let this absurd scene continue, his heart filled with a sense of powerlessness……

【PS: This foot-washing carries a special meaning; everyone should understand it themselves, it cannot be spoken……】
