Chapter 367 - They actually went horse riding (1/2)

Su Ling mumbled. ”What's the big deal in being the head lady anyway? You make it sound as though one would become a god of sorts.

The maid leaned in closer to whisper again. ”Who said you will not become a god? You will basically become one. You get the power to manipulate Lu Enterprises as you please. Can't you see how hard Miss Wan Jia is trying?”

”That's good for her.” Su Ling said distantly. Without waiting for the maid to say anthing else, she took her vase of lilies and left. She didn't know why this little maid was trying so incessantly to turn her against Wan Jia but it would be best to stay away from her. Who said she wanted power and influence? These people keep thinking of her as a woman out to use Lu Shaoting as a stepping stone to gain power. Could they be any more imaginative?

She walked back into the house and was happy to see Wan Jia playing a game of chess with Lu Tongyan. Little Jia was watching intently in the name of learning. Her mother had said that she would teach her to play when she was old enough to understand.

”Sister-in-law.” Su Ling smiled and walked over.

”Is it just me or do you look different?” Wan Jia observed.

”How different?”

”You look more beautiful and poised. It's only been one week!” The last time Wan Jia came to the Lu residence, she didn't see her. Su Ling's one week of staying in the Lu residence was long over. Lu Tongyan had insisted on having her stay a little more and now that the time was over, she would go back to her apartment the next day.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, Wan Jia said to her, ”It must be the nourishment of love.”

Su Ling felt embarrassed. What was that anyway?

After one round of chess, Lu Tongyan stood up. ”Why don't you ladies catch up? I'll be in the study. Little Jia, do you want to go with grandpa? Your mom and aunty must have a lot to talk about.”

Little Jia followed her grandfather obediently.

With the two of them remaining, Su Ling finally felt free to speak her heart. ”Shaoting seems to be in a bad mood these two days. Did something happen at the company?”

”Why would she know about my mood?” A voice from the entrance interrupted. Lu Shaoting had arrived. Ignoring Wan Jia, he went to his girlfriend. ”Get changed. We are going somewhere right now, .” Having said that, he took Su Ling's hand and led her to her room to get changed.

Wan Jia knew exactly why she was being ignored. She would have talked to him but remembering Lu Aotian's warning about staying away from him, she only bit her lip and kept her distance. He still seemed to be angry with her.

Only after Lu Shaoting went upstairs with his girlfriend did Wan Jia realize that there had been someone else behind him all along. ”Aotian?”

Lu Aotian didn't seem to find it strange that she had been ignored. ”Give him some time.”
