Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1162: A Heart Gone Wild

This wasn’t that Xia Xi didn’t sympathize with Ding Suzhu, she just felt this was simply a road Suzhu had to take to be reborn from the ashes.

”Later, I also tried a few ways, but still couldn’t pull her out. I saw this wasn’t working, so I casually checked into Ma Zongyu, and guess what, I made an unexpected discovery.”

Xia Xi laughed out loud and said, ”After Ma Zongyu went back, he rushed to find Ding Caiyan, but Ding Caiyan was already bewitched. She actually thought Young Master Song from the Song Family, Song Zihua, pulling that stunt meant he was into her. Her heart went wild and she headed straight for Song Zihua.”

”She completely ignored Ma Zongyu. Ma Zongyu was furious but didn’t dare say anything. Now he’s basically homeless, wandering around like this, with nothing better to do than wait like some idiot by the tree stump for Ding Suzhu to come back to him or something.”

Gu Tong held the white porcelain coffee cup, let out a cold snort and said, ”So you just went with the flow, told Ding Suzhu this piece of news, and lured her over to watch the joke!”

Clearly she didn’t know what happened afterward, yet she could directly spell out Xia Xi’s plan; she really did know her too well.

”Damn! Are you the little bug living in my stomach or what!”

Xia Xi glared, but didn’t find it surprising at all, and went on, ”After Ding Suzhu found out, she still couldn’t hold back. I drove her over for a look-around. Ma Zongyu is a total mess now—money gone, woman gone, no place to stay, he just squats at the entrance of Ding Suzhu’s company.”

”At the time, I was afraid Suzhu would waver, but who would’ve thought she’s actually pretty strong. Even though she still felt a bit sorry for him, she didn’t look back. The divorce papers are already signed anyway, she has no obligation to care about Ma Zongyu anymore. Seeing that her mood was relatively stable, we came back, and she continued staying at my hotel to lay low for a bit.”

Things developing to this point could be considered to have reached an ending; this was as far as they could help Ding Suzhu.

As for whether anything would change later, and how to deal with it, that would depend on Ding Suzhu’s own choices.

Hearing this, Gu Tong finally felt at ease.

With that in mind, she teased, ”It’s ’my hotel’ on the left and ’my hotel’ on the right. What, did Gong Chenli give you the hotel?”

”...” She really couldn’t talk too much with Gu Tong, way too scary...

Student Xia Xi pouted and said, ”This is a proposal present. The Demon King transferred a bunch of his businesses to give me shares. I’m now the real deal, a bona fide boss lady~”

Everyone who knew Xia Xi knew just how greedy she was for money.

Gong Chenli probably had her number down, which was why he transferred his assets into her name.

But honestly, Xia Xi loved Gong Chenli too. Otherwise, no matter how much money there was, she wouldn’t sell herself out. No matter what she says, it’s just a stubborn duck refusing to admit it.

To keep Xia Xi from exploding, Gu Tong chose to see through it without calling her out, and said evenly, ”Alright, let’s drop it. When are we heading out?”

They finally circled back to business—that is, the mission they were going to carry out this time.

Xia Xi thought for a bit and said, ”Originally, I was thinking tomorrow, but I’m afraid we’ll have to move it up to tonight.”

”...” Tonight?

That soon?

Gu Tong raised her brows, about to say something, when she picked up on what Xia Xi meant between the lines.

The two of them exchanged a look, a trace of complexity mixed in their eyes.

In practically a split second, they understood the meaning behind each other’s words.

Gu Tong glared at Xia Xi, then pushed her elbow hard, sending the food that had been resting on the table crashing to the floor.

”Pa-da—”

The cake on the plate smashed into a complete mess.

The entire café’s attention instantly focused on them.
