“The young master went on a business trip,” Aunt Qi answered.
“What about the young master’s car? Where is his car?”
Su Qianxun thought that she was definitely done for this time. Long Sijue had certainly found out about the bottle of pills and decided to imprison her again.
“I’m not so sure about that… Ye Gu told me to hand this shopping bag to you. He asked me to give it to you once you’re awake.”
Su Qianxun took the shopping bag from Aunt Qi, opened it, and took a look at its content. When she saw that it contained the bottle of pills that she had dropped in the car, she tightened her grip on it.
She heaved a loud sigh of relief. ‘Thank goodness Ye Gu retrieved it for me. If Long Sijue finds it, I’ll definitely be in big trouble.’
For the next few days, Su Qianxun had a relaxing time. Now that she had a cell phone, she could finally contact the outside world.
The first thing she did was to call Gu Mian. However, even after a few attempts, Gu Mian’s number was still unreachable.
Because Su Qianxun was really concerned about Gu Mian’s situation, she contacted the Gu family. The Gu family told her that Gu Mian had gone abroad again. They also told her not to contact Gu Mian for the time being.
Su Qianxun felt that something was not quite right. ‘Even if Gu Mian’s abroad, I should still be able to reach her on her phone, right?
However, considering her own predicament, it was pointless to fret about another person. She was not even allowed to leave Jin Garden.
Now, she was just thrilled about the fact that she was able to call her younger brother every day. Even though Su Jiye still did not say a word, it was enough for her to know that her younger brother was able to hear her speak.
Su Qianxun was really shocked when she received a call from Qiao Bonian. No one else other than Doctor Mu had her phone number. ‘How did he get my number?’
“Anything?” Su Qianxun’s tone was very cold.
“You may not care about your reputation, but I do! Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?” Qiao Bonian questioned coldly.
Qiao Yiren must have ‘accidentally’ revealed something when she was whining and crying pitifully in front of the members of the Qiao family.
“Your surname is Qiao and mine is Su. My embarrassing deeds have nothing to do with you.” Su Qianxun’s tone was even colder than that of Qiao Bonian’s.
“No matter what your surname is, you’re still my daughter!”
“What exactly do you want from me?” Su Qianxun did not want to waste her time talking to him.
“Yiren and Chuxi’s engagement ceremony will be held this weekend. You have to be there!”
“What if I say no?” Su Qianxun flashed a mirthless smile.
“Don’t you forget that your mother is still with us.”
“Qiao Bonian, aren’t you afraid that karma will strike you one day?”
Su Qianxun tightened her grip on her cell phone. She could not believe that Qiao Bonian was using her mother to threaten her. ‘How could he say such a thing about his wife, who gave birth to three children for him?’
“How disrespectful! From now onwards, your mother’s fate is in your hands!” Qiao Bonian said shamelessly.
“Hehe, I’ll be there then.”
“Do not embarrass me again!” Qiao Bonian said and hung up immediately after.
Su Qianxun slowly put down the phone. She agreed to attend Qiao Yiren and Xia Chuxi’s engagement ceremony not only because of Qiao Bonian’s threat, but also because she wanted to go back to the Qiao family’s mansion to fetch something very important.
Her grandfather once told her that she must get her hands on that item if something bad were to happen to the Su family one day.
Su Qianxun did not know what it was. It had been two years since she left the house. Even though she had gone back to the house on two separate occasions, she did not have the chance to enter her grandfather’s study room.
Now, she finally had the opportunity to do so, but the occasion happened to be her fiancé and Qiao Yiren’s engagement ceremony. ‘How ironic.’
…..
The weekend arrived in a blink of an eye. It was also the day that Su Qianxun was supposed to visit Su Jiye.
Aunt Qi had told her that Long Sijue allowed her to go to the hospital.
Since Qiao Bonian did not want her to embarrass him in front of his guests, of course she had to dress up and groom herself for the occasion.
Su Qianxun wore a long black dress. She even pinned a white brooch which was shaped like a flower on her chest.
When Aunt Qi saw her, she thought that the young woman was going to attend a funeral…
