Chapter 27 - Looks Like You

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In a milk tea shop nearby.

There was a person sitting opposite Xuan Liuying.

She had a beautiful face and was dressed in a professional suit. Her eyes and brows were sharp, making her look very capable. In front of her was a cup of milk tea that did not match her image. She had already inserted a straw, but she did not drink it.

“Liuying, how long has it been since we last met?”

Xuan Liuying took a sip of the milk tea and smiled. “Didn’t you eat at the restaurant where I work a few days ago? We often see each other, don’t we?”

Su Yunzhi did not say anything, but looked at her indifferently.

Seeing this, Xuan Liuying sighed and said, “Well, it has been a long time since we sat down like this and officially met. It’s been more than ten years.”

Su Yunzhi looked at her. 

“Are you still blaming me?”

“Blaming you?” Xuan Liuying smiled and shook her head. “Su’er, I never blamed you. On the contrary, I’m grateful to you.”

“Grateful to me for making you look like this?

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have come to Sea City. If you hadn’t come to Sea City, we wouldn’t have known each other… It’s all because of me that you’re like this. Do you think I’ll believe you if you say you don’t blame me?”

Xuan Liuying sighed softly, “I really don’t blame you. I don’t blame you at all. I’ve never regretted meeting him. It’s because of you that I was lucky enough to get to know him. I’m grateful to you.”

“If you don’t blame me, why didn’t you come to me after so many years? You clearly didn’t have to live so hard.”

“Su’er, I’m not your responsibility. I don’t need to drag you down. Besides, I’ve lived a hard life, and so have you.”

Su Yunzhi’s expression changed imperceptibly.

“Actually, neither of us has a better life than the other,” Xuan Liuying said.

“But I won’t torture myself like you did. Liuying, look at us now. Who will think that we’re the same age when we go out?”

Her words made Xuan Liuying’s expression change slightly. With sadness in her eyes, she raised her hand to caress her weathered face. “It’s said that a woman looks for her own pleasure. Now that she’s gone, what does it matter whether I’m ugly or beautiful?”

“You’re simply… Forget it, I don’t want to talk about you anymore. You used to call me a lovesick man. Which one of us is more lovesick? You’re not the only one who’s gone!”

The status of the Su family in Sea City was similar to that of the Jiang family in sea city. However, compared to the Jiang family in Sea City, which had a thriving population, the Su family was much thinner. However, the thin population did not affect the Su family’s status in sea city. This was because the Su family had a powerful daughter who supported the Su family when she was twenty years old. Now that she had been in charge of the Su family for twenty-five years, the status of the Su family in Sea City did not waver at all.

This powerful daughter of the Su family was Su Yunzhi.

She was the famous iron lady in the business world.

However, because of this person’s words, “You are not the only one who is gone,” sadness and fragility flashed across the depths of her eyes.

“Su’r…”

Su Yunzhi gently closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked like a strong woman again. There was no sadness and fragility in her eyes.

“It’s okay,” Su Yunzhi said. “It’s been so many years. I’m already used to it. You’re the one who can’t get out, not me.”

Xuan Liuying looked at her and did not expose her.

She was not the only one who could not get out.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Liuying, if you don’t think about yourself, you should at least think about your daughter, right? Today is different from the past. I can protect you and your daughter. Even if I can’t, the situation won’t be any worse than now, right?”

“Our daughter…” Xuan Liuying covered her face and cried again. “Su’er, I don’t see any trace of him in Wan Rou. How could a person like him have a daughter like this? 

“Did I not teach her well? But I really worked hard to teach her. I don’t know how she became like this.”

Seeing her crying like this, Su Yunzhi also felt bad.

She did not make a sound to disturb her and waited for her to finish venting and stop crying.

Only then did she take out a tissue and hand it to her.

“The nine sons of a dragon are all different. Not all children who are serious in education will develop in the direction they want to. After all, your daughter did not cause any big trouble. Just treat her as a rebellious child. Don’t keep making things difficult for yourself.

“In the end, she is already an adult. She is already at the age where she should be responsible for her own life. Even if she is your daughter, you shouldn’t use her to remain trapped in your life. Liuying, it’s been 20 years. That’s enough.

“All these years, you didn’t accept my help at work. You didn’t even want the money I gave you. You…”

Xuan Liuying suddenly interrupted her, “I’m asking you for money now. Will you give it?”

“What?”

Su Yunzhi thought she had heard wrong. Then she asked in surprise, “You’re willing to accept my help?”

“I don’t want to work. I’ve been hiding for 20 years. I don’t want to lose everything.”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to work. It’s also good if you want money. You should have done it earlier.”

“Do you have 200 yuan?”

Su Yunzhi was a really strong woman. It was rare for her to be confused. However, in such a short time, she was confused twice!

“How much… Did you say?”

Xuan Liuying wiped the tears off her face with a tissue and said with a smile, “Two hundred Yuan.”

Su Yunzhi, the head of the Su family in Sea City, who was worth ten billion, was speechless

Xuan Liuying met her speechless, surprised eyes and said with a smile, “I was injured earlier. A little girl bought some medicine for me. I was going to pay her back for the medicine and the rest of the money. As I was too busy looking for my next job, two hundred yuan was enough. 

“Speaking of which, the little girl who bought the medicine for me looks a bit like you. I think her name was…”

“Pa!” Xuan Liuying was interrupted.

It was Su Yunzhi who took out a bank card and slammed it on the table.

“There is one million yuan in this card. The password is your birthday. You Want 200 Yuan, right? Then go and take out 200 yuan and throw the card away!”

After saying that, she stood up and walked out of the milk tea shop without looking back.

“Su…”

Xuan Liuying wanted to call out to her, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Glancing at the bank card that she slapped on the table, Xuan Liuying shook her head helplessly.

After so many years, her temper had not changed at all. Everyone said that the head of the Su family was an iron lady with powerful wrists, one who was steady, strict, and strong… 

Strong was true, but it was hard to say whether she was calm or not.

In the end, Xuan Liuying finished her milk tea and left with the card on the table.

In the cafe, in an exquisite private room.

“Xiao Yan, what coffee do you want to drink?”Kong Xiangxiang asked Shi Yan while flipping through the menu.

There was a menu in front of Shi Yan too.

“The menu is in front of you. You can open it and take a look. It’s my treat. You’re welcome. Order whatever you want to drink and eat.”

Shi Yan opened the menu.

The menu was in French.

Shi Yan raised her eyebrows. Jiang Rui, who was sitting next to her, had a slight change in expression when she opened the menu. She looked at Kong Xiangxiang, who was sitting opposite her, reproachfully.

Kong Xiangxiang ignored her gaze.

Jiang Rui closed the menu in her hand and leaned over to share it with Shi Yan.

“Xiao Yan, I’m more familiar with this cafe. Let me recommend it to you.”

Shi Yan looked at Kong Xiangxiang across from her.

Suddenly, she met Shi Yan’s smiling eyes. Kong Xiangxiang had an inexplicable feeling that she had seen through her thoughts and felt a little uncomfortable. She looked away slightly and said, “Rui’er is right. You can recommend it to Xiao Yan.”

Shi Yan retracted her gaze and pushed the menu in front of Jiang Rui.

Jiang Rui flipped through the menu and recommended seriously, “This, this, and this are all good. This is their best seller. Xiao Yan, you can try it.”

“This one then.”

Shi Yan smiled at Kong Xiangxiang and nodded politely. “I’ve let the first madam spend so much money.”

Kong Xiangxiang was speechless.

It was like a fist hitting cotton..
