    Su Hongxing’s gaze fell on Cao Zhen’s face, then seemingly fleetingly swept over Cao Shiyu.


    The shifts of expressions on the father and daughter from the Cao family were quite entertaining. Her trip here indeed was right.


    Having spent many years in politics, Cao Zhen had long learned to keep hisposure. But when he found out that Su Hongxing was the daughter of Zhou Peng and Jiang Chengyun, he was unable to control his facial expression.


    Being an experienced character, he quickly regained hisposure, hiding all his emotions: “So you are Zhou Peng’s daughter.”


    “That’s why, the rtionships I have with the Cao family are extraordinary indeed. As for Zhou Peng, he is not my father. Zhou Peng has only one daughter, and her name is Zhou Luhe. Back then, I became an orphan because Cao Meiyu broke into my family. Now, I have fallen from being Ye Si’s wife to being his mistress due to the efforts of Cao Shiyu and Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao, your family has ruined my family again and again. If this scandal spreads out, I wonder if you, Cao Zhen, will still have the face to linger in politics!”


    Cao Zhen’s face barely shifted, anything he cherished most in his life was his political career.


    Su Hongxing detected this slight detail, swiftly switched her focus to Cao Shiyu: “Sister Shiyu, once you marry Ye Si, I will be your mistress. Don’t you feel karma is a bitter wheel that keeps turning?”


    A touch of resentment shed in Cao Shiyu’s eyes as she looked at Ye Qn.


    Ye Qn, however, was leisurely sipping his tea, appearing to have no opinion about Su Hongxing’s speech. Apparently, given his attitude, he wasn’t going to help her out either.


    Cao Zhen was also irritated in his heart. During his political career, who didn’t bow to him? This was the first time someone had dared to threaten him in his face!


    Yet, all that Su Hongxing had said was the truth, and with Ye Qn present, he could not lose his temper.


    “Qn,e with me to the study. I need to talk to you.” Cao Zhen said, heading for the study.


    Ye Qn stood to follow, with Su Hongxing hot on his heels. Seeing her doing so, Ye Qn turned back to her saying, “You sit here for a while, I’ll be right back.”


    “No, Cao Shiyu hates me so much. When you’re away, she will surely bully me.” Su Hongxing grasped Ye Qn’s arm: “I’ll stick by your side.”


    Ye Qn looked at her for a moment, unable to refuse her request, leaving him no choice but to agree.


    When Cao Zhen saw Su Hongxing also following into the study, his face showed some annoyance.


    “Miss Su, I have some private words with Qn. Please leave!” Cao Zhenmanded her to leave.


    Yet Su Hongxing, holding Ye Qn’s arm, sat down on the couch: “Aren’t you trying to get Ye Si to get rid of me? I’in the concerned party, what’s so wrong about the hearing? Here’s the thing, why don’t you give me a good sum of money? Once receiving the money, I would naturally leave. But whether or not Ye Si would let go of me is out of my hands.”


    Both the men in the room cringed a bit at Su Hongxing’s words.


    Ye Qn already knew Su Hongxing saw nothing but money now, but her uttering so in front of an outsider was enough to embarrass him.


    As for Cao Zhen, despite having dealt with all sorts of people before, someone like Su Hongxing was the first he had ever encountered.


    In just one sentence, Su Hongxing revealed several pieces of information.


    First, getting her to leave is simple, just pay her off.


    Second, the problem is not that she doesn’t want to leave, it’s that Ye Qn doesn’t want to let her go.


    With that said, the problem does not lie with Su Hongxing at all, the decision is in Ye Qn’s hands.
