Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 590: The Third Vanishing Great Family

Su Chen was taken aback when he heard what Xia Qiuru said; he had not expected that she would suggest he accompany her back home for the New Year.

"If you find it troublesome, just pretend I never mentioned it."

Seeing that Su Chen didn't respond right away, Xia Qiuru quickly added:

"I know it might be a bit much to ask, sorry."

"It's okay, I've been missing your parents too. I'll accompany you back for a day or two. I think I can still squeeze out some time then."

Su Chen said with a casual smile on his face.

Actually, Xia Qiuru's request was quite problematic for him, after all, going home with another woman during the New Year was indeed a bit over the line for a married man.

If any other woman had made such a request, he would have flatly refused. If Lin Ruoxue found out, it would be no laughing matter.

But with Xia Qiuru, he found it hard to refuse, or perhaps, deep down, he didn't want to refuse...

"That's wonderful!"

A joyful brightness instantly flickered across Xia Qiuru's pretty face, and then with some trepidation, she looked at Su Chen:

"Won't this cause you any trouble?"

Xia Qiuru hadn't expected Su Chen to actually agree, and although it probably wouldn't be on New Year's Eve or the first day of the New Year, her joy was overwhelming!

"No trouble at all."

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively, appearing unconcerned.

Afterwards, Su Chen chatted casually with Xia Qiuru for a few more sentences before leaving. As soon as he stepped out of Xia Qiuru's office, he ran into Lin Ruoxue who was coming his way.

Lin Ruoxue's office was located nearest to the inside, so one had to pass Xia Qiuru's office to enter or exit.

Upon seeing Lin Ruoxue, Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes darted around in panic as if he had been caught doing something wrong.

However, that panic was immediately reigned in, and Lin Ruoxue didn't notice it.

"What are you doing here?"

Lin Ruoxue asked, sounding rather surprised.

"Well, I had to discuss some work matters with Director Xia."

Su Chen replied, feigning calm, and then hurried towards his own office, fearful Lin Ruoxue might sense something was amiss.

"Discuss work?"

Lin Ruoxue watched Su Chen's retreating figure with a suspicious expression. When had this guy started taking work so seriously?

Then she glanced at Xia Qiuru's office, and her expression cooled.

Is this guy messing around with other women again because I told him not to mingle with those women from the PR department?

After leaving, Su Chen immediately returned to his own office, completely unaware that Lin Ruoxue had seen right through his facade just from his offhand remark.

It just goes to show that sometimes being too smart for one's own good isn't always a blessing!

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Taking it out, he saw a number that hadn't been in contact for some days.

"Ye Mei, the great beauty, what made you think to call me? Are you missing me?"

Su Chen answered the phone, his tone flirtatious.

Among the beauties he knew, apart from those with whom he had confirmed relationships, he was probably only this casual with Ye Mei.

After all, she had been in the underworld and wouldn't care about the finer points like most women would.

"Yeah, do you miss me?"

Ye Mei's seductive voice came through almost immediately.

"Of course, how could I not miss such a beautiful woman as Ye Mei?" Su Chen chuckled.

"Why didn't you call me if you missed me?"

"I didn't want to disturb you, the busy person that you are!"

"Oh, please, you're just afraid of the tigress at home."

Ye Mei said with disdain, then became serious,

"Alright, enough with the banter. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Su Chen casually lit a cigarette and, with his legs on the office desk, asked leisurely.

"Didn't you say you'd accompany me on a trip abroad when you had the time? I'm leaving tomorrow. Are you available?"

Ye Mei's somewhat hopeful voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen fell silent for a moment, as he had some plans in Yandu coming up.

These plans were related to his investigation of the truth behind past events and his quest for revenge, so he had to stay.

"Ye Mei, I'm sorry, but I..."

Su Chen said apologetically. After all, Ye Mei had discussed the overseas trip with him a while back, and he had almost agreed to it, so he felt a bit embarrassed to go back on his word now.

"It's fine. I was just asking casually."

Ye Mei replied with a slight smile over the phone, seemingly unconcerned, but if Su Chen were there in person, he would have noticed a touch of sadness in her eyes.

"It's just to further discuss a collaboration. It's not a big deal."

Ye Mei added.

"Well, since it is abroad, take care of yourself."

Su Chen nodded and thought to himself that she should be fine going to the Phillip family, so there shouldn't be any major issues.

"If anything happens, call me right away."

"Alright, you sure can nag!"

Ye Mei's initial disappointment eased a little when she heard Su Chen's concern, and although her tone was somewhat impatient, she actually felt quite pleased inside.

"By the way, the Wu Family hasn't been giving you any trouble lately, have they?"

Su Chen suddenly remembered to ask.

"No, they did propose a new condition to get me to marry the third young master of the Situ Family, Situ Guang, offering to give me 30% of the Wu Family's assets, but I refused. Since then, they haven't bothered me."

Ye Mei was actually a bit perplexed because, based on the Wu Family's nature, they wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal, so why had they suddenly seemed to quiet down?

"They seem rather generous."

Su Chen chuckled coldly, knowing exactly what the Wu Family was up to with that offer.

"The people from the Wu Family are like wolves and leopards when it comes to wealth; I'll say it again, be careful, and contact me if anything comes up."

"Alright, I know! I've got things to do, so I'm hanging up now!"

After saying that, Ye Mei hung up the phone, and an unconcealed smile crept onto her face.

"Wu Family, I hope you really can stay in line, or else I wouldn't mind making you the third great family to disappear from Jiangnan."

After hanging up, Su Chen murmured to himself.

.....

"Ye Mei, are you lovesick? That's quite a suggestive smile you've got there!"

In the office of Ye Mei, as soon as she hung up the phone, a teasing voice rang out.

Then a woman with a tall figure and stunning looks swayed into the room, a playful smile on her face.

She was dressed in a blue-striped blazer with a chiffon shirt underneath, paired very fashionably.

The blazer pants were cropped to reveal her snow-white ankles, and further down were a pair of silver-gray high heels that accentuated her figure to an even finer degree!

"You little wench, you're the one who is lovesick!"

Ye Mei retorted at the incoming Xiao Yaning, as a slow blush crept onto her pretty face....
