“Let’s go.” Su Chenghui didn’t seem to notice the anger on her face. “Mayor Li is going to speak in a while.”
Li Qianxue forced a smile and looked at the umbrella on his head. “You also know I’m going on stage?”
Su Chenghui put away the umbrella and handed it to his assistant. “Of course. After all, I’m going on stage too, right?”
Li Qianxue glanced at him coldly and took the opportunity to go up to the stage. Su Chenghui held her hand from behind and said softly, “The road isn’t easy to walk. Let me help you.”
“There’s no need.” Li Qianxue pulled her hand back discreetly. “Don’t touch me, and naturally I’ll walk well.”
“Qianxue…” Su Chenghui was a little helpless, but Li Qianxue was already walking very fast.
It wasn’t her first time attending the groundbreaking ceremony. After so many years, how could the Li Corporation not have done many projects? She really didn’t need Su Chenghui.
One after the other, the two of them went up to the simple platform made of wood. The red carpet was all laid out on the stage.
Li Junsheng and Wang Tao stood in the middle. After the two of them went up the stage, they stood on both sides of Li Junsheng. Everything that happened next was done according to the procedure.
Li Junsheng spoke first on behalf of the city leaders, then President Zhou, and finally, it was Li Qianxue’s turn.
She had the draft that Yang Rong had prepared for her a few days ago, but her memory had always been good. Such a scene was nothing to her.
The sun was a little high. She was wearing a rose-red suit, which was neither ostentatious nor grand. It was also in line with the festive occasion needed for the opening of the business today.
She first thanked the city leaders for their support for the work of the Li Corporation. Then, she thanked the Tianyu Group for their role in this matter, as well as the results of the cooperation between the two companies in many aspects.
Finally, she talked about the concept of City Star, an all-AI residential area.
It was a long story, but it was short. Her speech was only five minutes long. There were countless cameras facing her from below the stage. She was already used to such an occasion.
After one round of speech, it was time to cut the ribbon. Su Chenghui, who had been standing on the other side of Li Junsheng just now, actually walked to her side at this time.
The etiquette lady carried a golden plate and a pair of red silk scissors on the stage. Su Chenghui stood beside her and turned his head to look at her.
This scene was really familiar. The two of them stood together, cutting the ribbon and laying the foundation for the project. Who knew how many times it had happened?
Li Qianxue ignored the overly heated gazes of the people around her. She placed all her attention in front of her.
A stranger. From now on, Su Chenghui was just a stranger.
She thought about Su Qingsang’s words that day for a long time. She thought that she didn’t want to be entangled with Su Chenghui for the rest of her life.
So what if she tortured Su Chenghui every day? If she tortured him, wouldn’t she become like him?
She didn’t want to.
She didn’t need to throw away her bottom line for a man who wasn’t worth it.
That night was Old Master Dong’s birthday banquet. Li Qianxue went as a representative of the Li family. In the past, for such banquets, Su Yuxin attending was enough.
She personally came to give Old Master Dong face.
This morning, the Li Corporation’s groundbreaking ceremony was on TV. Not only was it on TV, but the Li Corporation had also placed advertisements on the internet and on all the major print media.
When she entered, many people congratulated her.
Li Qianxue chatted with those people, but this wasn’ her home ground after all, so after chatting for a while, she picked a corner and sat down.
A message popped up on her phone. She was in a Wechat group with Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin.
Su Qingsang would occasionally post photos and videos of the twins. Li Qianxue’s biggest hobby after work was to look at the photos Su Qingsang posted.
The twins had been together for more than three months, and they could already roll around.
Nian Nian was slower, and she didn’t have enough strength. She tried hard to roll her body on the bed, but she could only roll her body sideways. She would need help to roll her body over completely.
The photos were of two people lying on the bed, and a video was sent over after a while.
Huo Jinyao supported Xiang Xiang’s tiny body and tried hard to roll him over. The little guy was talking in a language that adults couldn’t understand. He looked very funny and cute.
“So cute.”
The voice that suddenly sounded was very familiar. Li Qianxue quickly dropped her phone and looked up at the person.
She shouldn’t be surprised. If she could come, naturally Su Chenghui could come too.
She was going to stand up and leave, but when she thought of the things that she suddenly thought of in the morning, she sat there calmly.
Su Chenghui looked at her in surprise. Today, Li Qianxue didn’t seem to have that look of wanting to push him away, nor did she have that unconcealed disgust when she saw him.
Her expression could even be said to be peaceful. Su Chenghui’s surprise only lasted for a few seconds. He quickly thought of the reason for her expression.
He glanced at her and sat down on the sofa next to her. His expression was somewhat cautious.
“To think about it, Nian Nian is very cute, right?” Su Chenghui had gone to Rong City to see the two children before. The older they grew, the more delicate-featured they looked. They were very cute.
Li Qianxue glanced at him. Her lips moved, but she didn’t say a word.
“The last time I went to Rong City, the two little guys even smiled at me.”
Li Qianxue closed her eyes. When she heard this, she glanced at Su Chenghui.
“Su Chenghui.”
Su Chenghui was stunned when she suddenly opened her mouth. Li Qianxue curled her lips with a hint of mockery in her eyes. “When you go to Rong City, will you go to see Su Peizhen?”
Su Chenghui choked and looked at Li Qianxue.
Their eyes met. Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue’s eyes and lowered his eyes. “Yes.”
“How has she been recently?” Li Qianxue leaned forward and stared at Su Chenghui’s face. “No, or should I ask another question? Does she still hate me?”
After all, she was the one who announced that she had severed her relationship with Su Peizhen. With Su Peizhen’s personality, it should be difficult for her not to hate her, right?
Su Chenghui was silent for a few seconds. Just when Li Qianxue thought that he wouldn’t answer, she heard his soft voice.
“She is very good now. She doesn’t hate anyone.”
“Is that so?” Li Qianxue didn’t believe him.
“You have to believe that she is actually a good child.”
