Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1005: Chapter 1004: Who Told You to Handle the Little Vixen

”I’m fine...” Ding Suzhu was not a pretentious person and could never learn Ding Caiyan’s talent for feigning weakness.

”Hmm, that’s good!” Xia Xi was relieved a lot after confirming she was okay, and then let go of her hand.

Ding Suzhu bit her lower lip, hesitantly saying, ”Why are you helping me...”

Of course, Ding Suzhu knew the limitless value of that Black Card.

It was precisely because of this that Ding Suzhu felt Xia Xi had no need to sacrifice such a precious Black Card for someone she didn’t know.

In this world, nothing happens without a reason, Ding Suzhu firmly believed in this...

Xia Xi teased, saying, ”If I say it was purely at first sight, I guess Miss Ding wouldn’t believe it.”

Of course, she wouldn’t believe it...

No one is a fool; how could they believe such an explanation...

Xia Xi didn’t continue to tease her but instead pointed towards the window of the Honglou Teahouse and said, ”Look over there, Miss Ding, and you’ll understand.”

Ding Suzhu looked up blankly, following the direction Xia Xi pointed, and finally her gaze landed at the window.

At this moment, Gu Tong stood by the window, not expecting Xia Xi to suddenly point over; her originally calm face broke into a smile, nodding at Ding Suzhu.

At the instant their eyes met...

Ding Suzhu couldn’t help but cry again, tears breaking through her defenses...

All her sorrow turned into tears, making her look utterly devastated.

”Miss Ding, what’s wrong?” Xia Xi was slightly stunned and hurriedly waved at Gu Tong upstairs, as if saying, it wasn’t me who made her cry, it’s not related to me, etc.

Ding Suzhu, like an aggrieved child, wiped her tears and said, ”Can I go upstairs...” referring to where Gu Tong was.

”Of course you can...” Xia Xi now wished to quickly take Ding Suzhu over, to prevent Gu Tong from misunderstanding that she was the one who made her cry.

However...

This was all because she didn’t understand Ding Suzhu’s current feelings...

A person in adversity had long lost their direction in life, even the one they loved tried desperately to hurt them, having not tasted the feeling of being cared for in a long time.

But, at this moment.

From the endless abyss, a warm hand reached out; they had only met twice, without much contact or exchange, but such a person was willing to lend her a hand.

In comparison, her husband seemed so foolish, so inhumane, utterly insignificant.

Of course, Xia Xi was unaware of her thoughts; otherwise, she certainly would’ve shouted aloud, ’Hey! There’s still a kind-hearted person who only met you once here! Who knocked over the bricks for you, who defeated the scumbag, who handled the little witch affairs, and I even threw in a Black Card for you!! Hey!!’

The Honglou Teahouse was not far from the alley, just a three to five-minute walk along the path.

The alley’s location was around Xia Xi’s shop, so she was very familiar with this place, and said nothing more, leading Ding Suzhu towards the Honglou Teahouse.

Ding Suzhu walked with her head down, looking heavy-hearted, all the way in silence.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that Xia Xi coughed and led Ding Suzhu to push open the shop’s door.

However, at this moment...

Jun Xing: ”Ah, my lady...”

Sheng Lan: ”Which family’s girl is so pretty, oh my, oh my, truly beautiful...”
