Chapter 37 You Call the Shots

Su Qi stood up, "Why don't you watch where you're going? Do I have to yield to you just because you're a female celebrity? Since you know your dress is expensive, you should be more careful instead of shifting the blame onto others when something happens."

Gu Tangxue was walking at a normal pace just now. It was Xu Linyun who was rushing to touch up her makeup and bumped into Gu Tangxue.

"What did you say?! Whose family are you from? Which company?"

Mo Yu, relying on her status as a popular female celebrity's agent, was quite arrogant. She glanced at Su Qi's work ID.

"Su Qi? You're a staff member of Zhuiguang? Very good! You don't have to come to work tomorrow!"

"Is it up to you whether I come to work or not?"

Su Qi hadn't expected that someone like Xu Linyun would have such an assistant. wap.kanshu伍.net

"They say like breeds like. Dogs take after their owners' personalities. It seems I've witnessed it today."

Having completely fallen out with Su Qi last time, Su Qi was too lazy to save face and began to mock her unreservedly.

"You're incredibly audacious! Who do you think you are to mock me?! I can get you fired from Zhuiguang with just a word. If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow to me three times! Otherwise, you're finished! I'll get your colleagues, all of you, fired!"

Upon hearing that his job was at risk, Yang Tianhao immediately panicked and was about to kneel.

Su Qi grabbed Yang Tianhao, "Don't kneel."

Yang Tianhao lowered his voice, "Xiao Su, this is not the time to be a hero. If you don't kneel, both you and I will lose our jobs!"

Saying this, Yang Tianhao ignored Su Qi and knelt down with a thud.

"It was our fault. Please be magnanimous and don't hold this against us today."

Mo Yu, emboldened, glared at Su Qi fiercely, "And you! Kneel down and kowtow! Otherwise, your colleague will also be implicated and lose her job!"

Su Qi narrowed her eyes, pulled at her red lips, and gave a cold smile.

She stepped forward, grabbed Mo Yu's hand, and then with a forceful push, sent Mo Yu tumbling to the ground. Mo Yu landed on her hands, her entire palm sinking into shards of broken glass. kanshu伍.ξà

"Ah! You bitch!"

Mo Yu screamed in pain.

"You scoundrel, even if I knelt down, you wouldn't let me off. Since that's the case, why should I suffer? You pushed my friend and slapped her. Today, I won't hit you!"

Su Qi clapped her hands, looking down from above, tilting her delicate chin, a cold sneer playing on her lips.

Of course, she believed Mo Yu could get her fired.

Since she was doomed either way, why should she humiliate herself?

She just didn't want to implicate Yang Tianhao. She would explain everything to Huang Ying personally.

"You! You damn woman! You're tired of living!"

Mo Yu, tears streaming down her face from the pain, shouted loudly, attracting a lot of attention.

Mo Yu had been Xu Linyun's agent for many years.

Seeing her agent pushed down and injured, Xu Linyun could no longer remain calm.

"Sister Su Qi, I call you sister out of respect. How can you bully people like this? Do you think you can treat people like soft persimmons to be squeezed and molded just because they don't speak up?"

Xu Linyun spoke with a tearful voice, her eyes red.

By now, quite a few people had been drawn by the commotion.

Those who didn't know the situation would think Su Qi was the culprit upon hearing Xu Linyun's words.

Su Qi let out a low chuckle, "I never offend others unless they offend me. Mo Yu injured my friend and didn't apologize, so I naturally have to return the favor, an eye for an eye!

Miss Xu, as a public figure, you should know to set an example and control your dog. If it bites people indiscriminately without a leash and gets killed, you blame others for killing the dog. Does that make any sense?"

Xu Linyun felt a lump in her throat.

After a long while, she couldn't utter a single word to refute Su Qi.

Xu Linyun had heard that Su Qi was a pushover, someone who wouldn't fight back or retort even when insulted, and endured silently even when not favored by the Huo family.

She thought Su Qi was easy to bully.

She hadn't expected her to be so sharp-tongued.

It left her completely unable to argue!

"Tingyun... Look at Sister Su Qi. I only said a couple of words to her, and she's like this. How could she be like this?"

Xu Linyun turned to Huo Tingyun and complained tearfully, clutching his collar with her small hand, her tears falling like raindrops.

A picture of beauty in distress, evoking pity.

Su Qi sneered, meeting the man's gaze without fear.

What, bullying your white moonlight.

Makes you unhappy.

You don't like it.

Even if you don't like it, you have to endure it.

Being alone, she had nothing left to fear.

"As expected of the surname Xu. It's good to have someone backing you. A few tears can solve problems and distort the truth. No wonder people say the kind are bullied. Some people can twist facts with their mouths. I've truly witnessed it today, it's terrifying!"

Su Qi bared her teeth and smiled.

Her two small, pointed canine teeth.

Like a little devil.

Xu Linyun was flustered, "You—"

"Miss Xu, don't forget, before the divorce, I am still your legal wife. Your actions are considered those of a third party in the eyes of the law."

"Furthermore, the money he spent on you belongs to our marital property. I can sue to reclaim it. If Miss Xu is not afraid of ruin and becoming a public enemy, she can be bolder!"

Su Qi took a half-step forward and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.

As she spoke, her mouth curved into a smile.

A wicked, sinister smile.

Terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying.

Xu Linyun's eyes widened, and she took half a step back.

Regardless of whether Su Qi could truly threaten her, at this moment, she was genuinely frightened by Su Qi.

"Mo Yu, why aren't you apologizing quickly? You pushed her first!"

Xu Linyun said with a stern face, scolding Mo Yu.

Mo Yu, unsure of what had transpired between the two, exclaimed, "What?!"

"Quickly apologize to Miss Su. We made a mistake, and we must admit it."

After scolding, Xu Linyun turned to Su Qi, "Sister Su Qi, it's all my fault. You are magnanimous, with the breadth of mind of a prime minister who can accommodate a boat. Please don't hold it against me."

She seemed to have lowered her stance considerably.

"There's no need to be so polite. I'm not being overbearing, I just can't stand seeing my friend being bullied by you. Since you've apologized, then there's nothing more to it. You're still a good sister."

Su Qi accepted the apology with a smile and helped Xu Linyun up.

Her hand was very cold.

Xu Linyun flinched, almost losing her balance.

From behind, a man steadied Xu Linyun's shoulder.

Xu Linyun managed to regain her footing, "Tingyun..."

"Su Qi, that's enough. Why must you be so aggressive?"

He finally spoke.

After all, in his heart, she was the most important.

"Don't force me to reveal the truth to everyone here, unless you want to kill me right now."

Su Qi's eyes were tinged with red.

This man, bothering her again and again.

And then protecting his white moonlight.

Heh!

How ironic!
