In a daze, Susan Su had just returned home and walked into the living room, when a mocking voice stabbed straight at her.

"There are a lot of tricks, Susan Su, you lied to my mother about going back to school to get things. What time is it? Did you crawl over? There are many excuses for not cooking. My father has raised you for more than ten years, and he still treats you like this." It's stupid to be so nice."

Susan Su stopped in her tracks and looked towards the source of the sound. Sophie Su stood on the steps of the stairs, with malicious intent in her eyes, looking down at her with her arms folded on her chest, like looking down on a lowly servant.

Susan Su smiled, "Sophie Su."

Sophie Su snorted coldly, glanced at her empty hands, and suddenly laughed, as if she had discovered some big secret, "Haha, I found the evidence, didn't you say you went back to school to get things? Where are your things?" , Susan Su? This time I see how you are still sophistrying!"

After finishing speaking, Sophie Su turned around happily and ran upstairs, "Mommy, Mommy, Susan Su is back, she didn't go back to school at all—"

"What are you shouting about? What's the fuss about this?"Sophie Su just ran upstairs when Su Zhixiong, who came out of the study with a frowning face, yelled at Joe Su.

Sophie Su stuck out her tongue, and hurriedly reported to Joe Su Zhixiong, "Daddy, Susan Su lied to Mommy that she went back to school and went out without cooking dinner. She just came back now and hasn't brought anything back. She must be If you don't want to make dinner, you lie and go out."

Pointing straight at Susan Su downstairs, Sophie Su was very sure.

Susan Su walked down the steps, raised her head, and looked at Joe Su who was looking at her, she called out in a low voice, "Uncle."

"Susan, where have you been?"

"I'm going back to school..." Subconsciously, Susan Su didn't dare to say that she went to find the president of SQ. Until now, she still felt it was like a dream. She couldn't produce evidence, and even if she said it, she didn't believe it. Let alone Joe Su.

Moreover, if Joe Su knew that he had found that man, Susan Su would not know how to explain what happened before.

"She lied, she didn't bring back anything, Daddy Susan Su, she lied!"Sophie Su who was at the side immediately shouted loudly.

Susan Su bit her lips tightly, even if she didn't

Even when she raised her head, she could feel Joe Su's gaze. He didn't question or urge him, but instead looked at her quietly, as if he believed in him, but also seemed to be suspicious.

Taking a shallow breath, Susan Su raised her head again, and said to Sophie Su, "I really can't find my homework. I thought it was left behind in the school, so I said I want to go back to get it, but I When I went back, it happened to be the rush hour for work, and there was some traffic jam. When I returned to school, the students on duty had already locked the classroom, and I had to wait until the evening self-study to open it. I couldn’t wait so late, so I just Come back first."

Susan Su calm narration obviously couldn't convince Sophie Su, "Nonsense, it's still early when you go back, what kind of car is it, you just avoid doing housework with many excuses, Susan Su, you think Daddy and I are fools and still believe you Such a bad reason?"

Yes, she didn't believe it herself.

Susan Su lowered her head, not knowing what to say, helpless and uneasy.

Suddenly, Joe Su said, "Sophie Su, did you do your homework last night? Go back to your room."

Sophie Su couldn't believe it, "Daddy?" Daddy actually believed in Susan Su, but not her?

With a sullen face, Joe Su repeated, "Go back to your room and do your homework!"

"Hmph! I don't care about you anymore!"Sophie Su roared angrily, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and went back to the room unwillingly.

Surprisingly, very pleasantly surprised, Susan Su watched Joe Su go downstairs, and was a little unbelievable. Uncle actually believed her?

The joy of being trusted swelled in Susan Su's heart.

At the same time, Susan Su felt a sense of guilt... He obviously had the contact information of the president of SQ, but he had the assistant's business card in his pocket, as long as he took it out...

"Uncle." In the blink of an eye, Joe Su had already walked in front of Susan Su, and she called out. She had a lot to say, but there was a lot she couldn't say.

How would she explain what happened between herself and that man, saying that she was left in the room overnight by a strange man that night? On the small terrace of the coming-of-age ceremony, the two of them were almost close together?

"Susan, I've wronged you."Joe Su looked at Susan Su complicated expression, and sighed deeply, "Sophie Su was spoiled by me and your aunt since childhood, and her personality has become more and more arrogant.

You have been angry with her for so many years... I really wronged you. "

Susan Su came back to her senses, and replied naturally, "Sophie Su is my younger sister, I should take care of my younger sister."

Joe Su shook his head, "If Sophie Su was half as sensible as you, I would be much less worried."

Joe Su, who was full of boredom, sighed again, passed Susan Su and walked slowly towards the living room.

Susan Su was slightly stunned.

Looking at Joe Su's back, she couldn't bear it.

The struggle in my heart became more and more intense.

Finally, she strode towards the living room, opened her mouth, and her heart beat like a drum, "Uncle, are you still worried about the cooperation with SQ?"

Joe Su was surprised, but said bluntly, "Well, you also heard Uncle's call the other day, and there is still no progress, Uncle is very worried."

"Is it necessary to cooperate with them? M City is so big, there will be other opportunities..."

"Because M City is so big, the potential for SQ to mine wealth in M City will be greater. SQ involves many directions, and its four main directions are among the best in the industry. Now we all pay attention to the survival of the fittest. , We can’t cooperate with SQ, it doesn’t mean we are finished like this, but it is clear that we will not be able to keep up with the excellent and top ones, and we will be eliminated sooner or later.”

Having said so much earnestly, Joe Su looked at Susan Su thoughtfully, "Look at me, what are you doing talking to you, Susan, you can also do your homework in the room, you are still young, the company's business You don't have to worry yet."

Joe Su tolerant attitude made Susan Su feel even more uncomfortable.

Uncle was worrying right in front of her, but she...

The hand silently reached into the pocket, and the soft and hard business card was squeezed into the palm of the hand.

"Uncle, I know where the president of SQ lives."

"What?"Joe Su stared suddenly. "Susan, can't you joke with uncle?"

Susan Su bit her lip, let out a breath, and said, "My classmate told me that the president of SQ is now living in the presidential suite of the Baiyue Peninsula Hotel. This news was bought by her family, and it is reliable." of."

She didn't know whether she was right or wrong in telling the news.
