She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 645: Chapter 670: Competing Against Each Other

Su Yun wasn’t slow, she just hadn’t come around to the idea yet.

”I understand. I’ll visit Hai Lan this afternoon. Such a pitiable child, being abandoned on the streets since young, and though he was taken in by the Hai Family, he ended up being harmed by Yang Wenying. If he doesn’t recover, I definitely won’t let Yang Wenying off the hook.”

”Yes! I’ll arrange the car for you.”

The President’s wife exited the office, and as the door closed, a trace of confusion flickered in her eyes. Her own daughter was in the hospital yet unseen, which was understandable to curry favor with her husband by visiting a stepson. But why visit Hai Lan, who wasn’t closely related? How would outsiders view the situation with her own daughter?

Su Yun was quick to act, receiving a call from Zhou Yuan at noon. They talked for a long time and agreed to meet at the city library for tea and books after a rest. After hanging up, she immediately prepared to head to the General Union.

It had been a long time since she had visited her father. After seeing Hai Lan, she planned on stopping by her home. Upon arriving at the General Union, she didn’t go to the infirmary but sought out Yang Wenying directly.

Their relationship had always been strained; this was the first time she had taken the initiative to approach Yang Wenying.

”Knock knock...”

Inside the office, Qiu Bai was discussing strategies with Yang Wenying. Suddenly, they heard a knock from outside, and exchanged glances. Yang Wenying asked, ”Who do you think would come at this time?”

”Someone who cares about you?” When the news of her suspension broke, many had called to inquire about her situation. Anyone visiting her before she left must be a close friend.

Yang Wenying shook her head with a smile, ”At this time, it’s definitely someone kicking me while I’m down. Those who truly care about me would never eagerly watch me falter.” They would only appear once she had gathered herself, those confident in her would wait for the ordeal to pass to comfort her.

Qiu Bai, incredulous, shouted towards the door: ”Come in!”

Su Yun, wearing a smile, pushed the door open.

Qiu Bai immediately widened his eyes—Yang Wenying had guessed right. Su Yun wasn’t here to mock her.

Yang Wenying slowly stood up, barely stopping herself from applauding. ”The President’s wife gracing us with her presence truly brings light to this humble place.”

”It’s a time like this, and you still can’t hold your tongue,” Su Yun coldly scoffed, despising Yang Wenying’s barbed way of talking.

”I’m the one who can’t hold my tongue, yet you’re the one eagerly here—is it your feet, or perhaps something else about you?”

Su Yun, unable to contain her anger, threatened, ”Even at a time like this, you still don’t know what’s good for you. Offending the Hai Family wasn’t enough, want to try offending the Su and Meng Families too? I’m really curious—who gave you the courage?” She had always believed she had been tolerant enough towards Yang Wenying. Their mutual competition was normal. But Yang Wenying had always opposed her at every turn, she was the first to bring up abandoning her husband and children, otherwise these problems could have been hidden forever.

”Wrong! I haven’t offended anyone, let alone the Hai Family, the Su Family, or the Meng Family.” Yang Wenying stood with her arms crossed, maintaining her composure even in suspension.

”Double Festival can’t represent Hai Yuntian, just like you can’t represent Su Jiang and Meng Xing,” Su Yun retorted.

”I might not represent my husband or brother, but don’t forget—they are my husband and my brother, not yours.”

”Oh? Is that so? We shall see.”

Unconcerned, Su Yun stood in the office, taking in her surroundings with a slightly disdainful expression, ”This is too spartan. I think it’d be better to dismantle it sooner rather than later. Revamping it would also save some budget for the General Union.”
