Chapter 63 You Won’t Get a Third Chance
There were others present, so Su Ziyue smiled and greeted, “Good morning, Yige.” Su Yige scrutinized her expression and knitted her brows when she could not find anything unusual.
Soon enough, everyone arrived, including Su Youcheng, and they all took their seats. With Su Ziyue’s current position at the company, she actually had no right to attend this meeting. Despite that, she had some special privileges which she had negotiated with Su Youcheng when she first came back to the company.
After the meeting started, she listened and secretly noted what she heard. When Su Yige finished presenting the summary report, a round of applause sounded.
She had to admit; Su Yige was indeed capable in her work. After she finished, Su Yige turned her attention to her and asked, “Ziyue, how are the contract negotiations with LK going?”
No matter what, Su Yige was still her superior. Pursing her lips, she smiled as she had been waiting for her to bring this up.
Standing from her seat, she smiled graciously and handed the contract in her hand to Su Youcheng. “Living up to your expectations, the contract has been signed, Chairman.”
Taking the contract from her, Su Youcheng glanced over it once and relaxed his furrowed brows, complimenting her generously, “Ziyue, you did well in this case. Any follow-up matters will be left in your hands as well. You can ask me directly if you have any questions.”
In fact, Su Youcheng was thinking that since she was able to get the contract signed, it meant that she did have an extraordinary relationship with the president of LK.
His only concern was whether or not the contract could be signed, and nothing else. He stole a glance at Su Yige. He did not expect her tactic to work.
Hearing that the contract was signed, Su Yige was shocked, but when Su Youcheng turned to look at her, she could only force out a smile. “It’s no wonder why the president of LK wanted to negotiate specifically with Ziyue; it must be because of her exceptional abilities. Within such a short period of time, she got the contract signed.”
Although her smile appeared calm, her emotions were raging behind that smile. It never crossed her mind that Su Ziyue would be able to nail that contract. Could it be that the president of LK did not mind that she was once married?
If that was the case, then Su Ziyue had gotten herself a backing!
“I dare not take the credit. The president of LK must acknowledge the Su Group’s strength, which was why he wanted to work with us. As for why he asked for me, it was merely to test the capabilities of the Su family members so that he could cooperate with us with peace of mind!”
Su Ziyue paused, and her gaze focused on Su Yige before she continued, “The president of LK said that only with integrity can one go far in the business world. Those on the sidelines who like to play small tricks can never make it onto the main stage. This is precisely why he wanted to work with the Su Group.”
Everyone present nodded and discussed a little at her words, but only Su Youcheng and Su Yige understood what she truly meant in their hearts.
Su Youcheng could not help but blame Su Yige. How could a person who was a financial tycoon in Europe not see through their tricks? He felt that he must have been muddle-headed for agreeing to let her proceed with those plans.

Until the meeting was over, Su Yige did not utter another word. She trailed behind everyone with Su Yige when they had left the room.
Walking next to her, Su Ziyue spoke in a volume that could only be heard by her, “I’m really troubled by the fact that you’re always up to these small tricks, Yige.”
Fixing her gaze on her, Su Yige’s face appeared good-natured, but her voice was cold when she replied, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Nothing happens more than thrice. I won’t give you a third chance.” A dark glimmer flashed across Su Ziyue’s eyes.
At this moment, the senior management circled Su Youcheng to discuss something while the both of them were just about a meter away, and they happened to be in a walkway next to a work zone.
Standing with her back facing the work zone, Su Ziyue turned and looked at Su Yige provocatively. “Do you know who I met at the Lumiere Jade House yesterday?”
Looking calm, Su Yige kept walking forward, but Su Ziyue chuckled. “Zeyang has really good stamina. In fact…”
Yesterday afternoon, Lumiere Jade House, Zeyang…
When she connected all the dots, Su Yige could not maintain her composure, and it finally showed on her face.
Adding fuel to the fire, Su Ziyue continued, “I’m sorry, but it can’t be helped. Still, you’ll probably live a blissful life in the future.” She lowered her head as if in embarrassment as she spoke.
Unable to keep her cool any longer, Su Yige raised her hand and swung it at Su Ziyue’s face, screaming, “Shut up!”
Su Ziyue did not dodge but took the blow, and an eerie smirk appeared at the corner of her lips.
“Yige…” she said and pursed her lips, not saying another word while tears rolled in her eyes.
The commotion drew the attention of many people, including Su Youcheng. Su Ziyue tilted her head, deliberately revealing the side of her face that was slapped. The stubborn look she carried made her look all the more pitiable.
“Su Yige!” Su Youcheng came over angrily when he saw Su Ziyue’s swollen face.
He was a person who cared most about reputation. Otherwise, he would not have given Su Ziyue a card and sent her abroad overnight for four years back then.
“Grandpa.” It was then only Su Yige realized that Su Ziyue was provoking her on purpose.
She could bear anything, but when Gong Zeyang was mentioned, she could not hold back.
Since she was young, she had always liked him, but he was always nice to Su Ziyue. That was a feeling she could never forget in her life, which was why she spent all her effort in making things difficult for her.
She wanted her to be thrown out of the Su family and never get a chance at redemption.
“Both of you, come with me!” he said and turned toward the office. He could not let others make a joke out of his family affairs.
Swiftly, Su Yige and Su Ziyue followed behind him, and at the corner, Su Ziyue saw An Xia winking at her.

“What are you doing in front of so many staff?” It was obvious that Su Youcheng was hopping mad.
Taking one step closer to him, Su Yige began, “Grandpa…”
However, Su Ziyue would not allow her to have a chance to apologize and cut her off in order to strike first.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. It was all my fault, I shouldn’t have said those things to Yige. Yesterday, I humiliated myself in front of the president of LK, but he was an upright person and kindly allowed me to take a breather. He almost didn’t want to work with us, and he even said…” she trailed off and lowered her head.
Although Su Ziyue’s face was still red and swollen, anger flashed across her face.
“What did he say?” Su Youcheng’s guts were telling him that it was not anything good.
