by Toni Morrison 19:31,May 26,2023


When Joe Su finished speaking and sighed again, no one noticed that Susan Su's hand holding the rice bowl suddenly tilted and shook.

Lisa Li heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Ah? What's going on? The other party changed their minds after we finished talking, did someone tamper with it?"

Joe Su shook his head in annoyance, "I don't know what's going on, a phone call suddenly in the afternoon, and everything is gone... Now it's been a waste of work for several days, seeing that the China Merchants Association is all in vain. It's almost here, but I'm not eligible to participate yet... Sigh, it seems that God won't help our Su family this time."

"Is there no way? Didn't you say that the SQ group is very powerful before? If you really can't cooperate with them, you won't have any business in the future, right?"

Seeing her husband downcast, Lisa Li also became anxious. The Su family's company has been in business for decades and was passed down from Joe Su's parents. Lisa Li was born in poverty, but after marrying Joe Su, she lived a carefree and prosperous life , if there is really a problem with the business, wouldn't such a good life not last forever?

"I don't know either. Now I can only find a way to find someone again..."Joe Su let out a long sigh, shook his head, and inadvertently glanced at Susan Su who was beside him who was silent. .

The bridge that was originally built suddenly disappeared, Joe Su was very depressed, thinking that the news about SQ was told by Susan Su, Joe Su was the first to talk about it at the dinner table, he had the last glimmer of hope , hoping that Susan Su would have some reaction or solution.

But right now, Susan Su ate the food in the bowl by herself, as if she didn't hear his complaints and troubles, Joe Su became even more worried.

Is there really no way this time?

Susan Su didn't know the expression on Joe Su's face that was always trying to hint at her, so she went upstairs in a daze after eating in a daze.

At the dinner table, she heard Joe Su's words verbatim.

When Joe Su said that the other party only changed his mind in the afternoon, Susan Su thought of Tom Lin's call.

At that time, Tom Lin said that Simon Si wanted to see her...

Could it be that there is really any direct relationship between them?

Susan Su sat in front of the desk, with an English textbook spread out under the orange desk lamp, and a string of letters were printed in Susan Su's head, which only made her feel extremely uneasy and irritable.

Why exactly, she and that Simon Si don't know each other at all

, Why did he say some strange words and do those strange actions to her over and over again?

'You are mine, from now on, don't be touched by others'

"You already have my mark on you, my things, only I can get dirty, no one else can"

Susan Su eyes flashed, and she subconsciously reached out to touch the little red mole on the right side of her neck. The two small spots became hot under her fingertips.

Suddenly, as if she had made some decision, Susan Su picked up the phone, searched for the incoming calls in the address book, found the number that Tom Lin called in the afternoon, paused with her fingertips on the screen for a few seconds, Then, he pressed firmly.

Susan Su took a deep breath, put the receiver to her ear, and soon the other party connected.

Tom Lin seemed to be surprised, but also with expected joy, "Mrs. Su, hello."

Susan Su said softly, "Assistant Lin, I want to see Mr. Si, is there still time?"

Tom Lin replied, "Of course, Mrs. Su, you didn't miss the opportunity." When he said this, he smiled a little more than his usual politeness.

Half an hour later, Susan Su found an excuse to walk out of Su's house, and took a taxi to Baiyue Peninsula Hotel.

The entire M city has been decorated with colorful lights. Sitting in the back seat of the car, Susan Su turned her head to look at the passing scenery one by one outside the car window, but her eyes were dull.

The hands resting on her knees subconsciously clenched the hem of the skirt, and the slender hand bones protruded from the white joints with her movements, which showed how intense her nervousness and anxiety were.

When she went to see Simon Si, she could guess how much she might face.

She is not reconciled, nor is she willing to go this far, to sell herself in exchange for something, but...

Seeing Joe Su put in so much effort in order to cooperate with SQ, all the expectations and joys were shattered in an instant, Susan Su couldn't bear it, and couldn't be so indifferent.

Lisa Li and Sophie Su often talked about her, Susan Su, who was raised by the Su family. When the old city was burned to ashes and she was left alone, she was already regarded as a bastard by everyone, but Joe Su He also took himself back to the Su family, who was carrying the ominous infamy, and gave her everything that Sophie Su enjoyed without wronging her for more than ten years.

The Su family gave her enough.

She has enough to give back to the Su family.

If I can really do something this time...

Different from the previous few days, when Susan Su came to Baiyue Peninsula, she was met by Lin Lin who was waiting at the door.

I entered the VIP elevator alone.

Tom Lin did not follow up, "Mrs. Su, Mr. Si is in the room."

As his voice fell, the elevator doors covered with gold patterns also slowly closed.

Plop, plop--

The elevator went up silently, but with the passage of time, Susan Su's heartbeat accelerated little by little.

Looking at herself reflected in the mirror, her petite body was tense, and the expression on her face was also stiff. Thinking of the man she was about to meet, Susan Su pursed her lips even more tightly.

Finally, the elevator door opened. This was the second time that Susan Su stepped into this place.

Every detail reflects the top luxury, which does not belong to her world, and she can no longer turn around and return.

Last time she came up, she was full of fear and anxiety, but this time, she was still so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Following her instinctive footsteps again, she stopped in front of the suite door.

The door was not closed, and unlike last time, the room was lit, waiting for her to enter.

Susan Su stretched out her hand to press her own heartbeat, and then walked in.

Last time when she left in a hurry, Susan Su didn't see the suite clearly, but this time she did.

After entering the door, there is a corridor. On one side is an open kitchen, and on the other side is a small guest room. After passing through the corridor, you can see a luxurious, large and outrageous living room, and... an evil, handsome and outrageous man.

It seemed that all the lights in the room were turned on, crystal lamps, small spotlights, all the light was on the man lazily leaning on the dark blue sofa, but he suppressed all the light.

Susan Su stared at him blankly, bewitched by his face that could make all the beauty in the world pale.

Simon Si raised the corners of his eyes, his long and narrow phoenix pupils were full of magic, which fascinated Susan Su.

Simon Si was very satisfied with her dazed appearance when she saw him. Leaning on the sofa, he raised his left hand and curled his knuckle fingers, "Come here."

Susan Su looked at him and approached him step by step.

The light in Simon Si's eyes was so bright that he compared all the lights in the room.

In a short while, Susan Su had arrived in front of the sofa, and Simon Si easily grabbed her wrist as soon as he raised his hand.

At this moment, Susan Su woke up.

She took two steps back abruptly, looked at Simon Si with wide eyes, and was surprised, "Your eyes——"
