Love You Till the End-Chapter 907 - 906: Remember to Keep It Secret

Although she knew that a loveless arranged marriage usually doesn’t end well, hearing Song Zhike say that, she still felt a bit melancholic for her sister.

"Does Su Manning know?" she asked.

"I’ve reached an understanding with her on this. No one would want a marriage devoid of emotional foundation, right?" Song Zhike said matter-of-factly, "Of course, if during this time our relationship changes, then we can reconsider. After all, we’re both single now."

Su Jiuyi nodded understandingly. From the time Su Manning confirmed the engagement, it had been over a week, and she hadn’t really asked for her opinion on it.

Actually, Su Manning has never dared to defy her parents’ wishes since she was young. Even though there are things she doesn’t want to do, she doesn’t dare to resist.

As for Su Jiuyi, her personality is rather stubborn; she doesn’t like being forced by others.

"So now we’re even." He placed his index finger on his lips, "Remember to keep it confidential."

Su Jiuyi smiled at him, as a form of response.

Shi Aoju was sitting in the company’s office when the secretary handed him a proposal, reporting: "The wasteland in the west of the city will be auctioned off in a couple of days. However, it’s said that some outside merchants seem to be planning to buy that land."

Previously Shi Aoju and Qin Shaobai had agreed not to participate in that billion-dollar investment case, considering Song Zhike and leaving it to Mr. Song.

As for this case, he was determined last year to win it. Now that the bidding has finally started, he has already made ample preparations.

"Investigate those outside merchants, and have someone closely follow up on the previous case’s process." he instructed in a deep voice.

"Alright." the secretary answered, then remembered something and reminded: "In a few days, it’s Old Sir Qian’s birthday. The invitation has been sent over; would the CEO like to attend the banquet?"

Old Sir Qian was Shi Aoju’s father, Shi Yu’s business partner. Although they didn’t have a life-and-death relationship, now that he was of an advanced age, it was only proper for him to visit.

However, Old Sir Qian’s granddaughter, Qian Yixun, had said since she was young that she wanted to marry Shi Aoju when she grew up, and often found excuses to intrude into the Shi Family, which Shi Aoju found very annoying.

Yet, despite this, because of the relationship between the two families, Shi Aoju couldn’t speak openly and just let her do as she pleases.

He massaged his brow a few times, speaking lightly: "Prepare a generous birthday gift."

"Okay."

Finally, it was noon, and Su Jiuyi made her hands into fists to pound her shoulders, walking heavily towards the room.

Thinking about being here for almost two days now, Su Jiuyi couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

Even though Su Zhenxiong rarely cared about her personal life, she had never stayed out all night. To avoid anyone thinking she had mysteriously disappeared, she decided to call Su Manning.

The call went through, and it was noisy on Su Manning’s side, possibly out shopping.

Su Jiuyi didn’t say anything extra, just informed Su Manning that she had found a new job and wouldn’t be returning home in the short term.

After hearing her say that, Su Manning obediently responded: "Alright, sister, I’ll tell Mom and Dad about your new job. Be careful while you’re out there alone. Remember to call me if anything happens."

"Mm."

After hanging up, Su Jiuyi sat on the bed in a daze for a while. Feeling a bit hungry, she got off the bed, glanced at the wall clock, finding it was not yet ten, which was just right to go to the restaurant for food.
