My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 677 - 666: Talk About It After Taking It Home

The owner of the Supreme Treasure Restaurant, Zhou Tianhao, who lived in a villa with international standard security that was exceptionally high, was shocked to find that Su Xuan could appear and disappear like a ghost and move around freely—this was too unbelievable. Did he regard the surveillance and electronic locks here as mere decorations?

"How on earth did you get in?"

Zhou Tianhao pondered—could it be that Su Xuan had a key? Impossible. The door had a fingerprint lock; there was absolutely no way he could have gotten in.

Zhou Tianhao looked at Su Xuan with horror. Surely this man wasn’t a ghost.

"Just say it, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll give you anything."

"Oh?"

Su Xuan suddenly became interested and asked, "What do you have?"

Zhou Tianhao hurriedly responded, "I have money. Oh right, there are also a few schoolgirls in this villa who are virgins; you can have all of them if you like."

"Hmph, with some dirty money, you only know how to do such filthy and despicable things. Tell me, was it you who set fire to the Datang Restaurant last night?"

"No, it wasn’t me."

"Really?"

Su Xuan took a few steps closer, his murderous aura undisguised, causing Zhou Tianhao to tremble. That day, in his office, he had watched Su Xuan use a little mud spatula to gently tap and knock out a big man who was nearly two meters tall. Su Xuan was truly a ruthless character not to be provoked.

"It seems I must teach you a lesson before you’re willing to tell the truth."

"Boss, it really wasn’t me who did it, but I know who did."

"Who?"

Su Xuan felt sure it was Zhou Tianhao who had done it, but to his surprise, Zhou Tianhao blamed someone else. Su Xuan had no idea who that could be.

"It was done by Wang Fangqian. Yesterday, a few of us were dining together, and I told him about how formidable you are, how you knocked out my two-meter-tall bodyguard. Wang Fangqian was so enraged he gnashed his teeth, saying he and you were irreconcilable enemies. When he learned you were standing up for Datang Restaurant, he just mentioned wanting to give you a minor lesson at the dinner table, but I never expected he would burn the place down at night. I’m really not to blame for this."

Zhou Tianhao said in a flustered state from the floor.

"You’re no saint either. If you hadn’t blabbed about me to Wang Fangqian, would he have had someone start the fire?"

Su Xuan said angrily.

"I was wrong, I’ll change, I won’t talk carelessly with him anymore. It was just the alcohol speaking last night, I beg you to spare me, I won’t dare do it again."

Zhou Tianhao continued to beg for mercy on the ground.

"Aren’t you going to show some sincerity?"

Su Xuan did not seem to think Zhou Tianhao was lying and knew Wang Fangqian was the real culprit. He couldn’t come here for nothing; at the very least, he had to make Zhou Tianhao pay some blood.

"Oh, I understand, I got it."

Zhou Tianhao took out another card from his bag and said, "There’s eight hundred thousand in here, I was planning to use it for gifts tonight. Please make do with it for now."

"What, you expect me to make do with it?"

On hearing this, Su Xuan became enraged. He was taking such a huge risk coming here, and to have the audacity to ask him to ’make do’ was outrageous. If he didn’t teach him a lesson, Zhou Tianhao really wouldn’t know who he was dealing with.

Su Xuan threw a punch at the empty air, and the television screen hanging on the wall instantly shattered into several pieces, looking like a calico cat.

"Just trying to fob me off with a card, do you think you’re looking down on me?"

"OK, you name the price, as long as I can afford it."

"Three million then. As long as you leave Datang Restaurant alone from now on, I won’t come looking for trouble again, and I’ll keep my word," said Su Xuan.

"Agreed, three million it is!"

For Su Xuan, three million was a fair price since, for Zhou Tianhao, it was a drop in the ocean. Although Zhou Tianhao didn’t start the fire, he was responsible for revealing the information at the dinner table to Wang Fangqian. Therefore, taking three million from him was by no means unreasonable.

With the card in hand, Su Xuan left, this time through the front door. Zhou Tianhao even escorted him to the door, his face all smiles and flattery.

Once Su Xuan had left, Zhou Tianhao collapsed on the ground. Damn, that was too dangerous. He had just heard that Su Xuan used to hang around with Liu Feilong, who specialized in robbery and murder—merciless and all about the money. Having once worked with him, Su Xuan couldn’t be any better.

It was a good thing Zhou Tianhao had given Su Xuan the money, or else he believed it was very possible Su Xuan would have killed him.

Zhou Tianhao was indeed telling the truth; the news had actually leaked from him to Wang Fangqian over the dinner table, and within their circle of fair-weather friends, even the recent incident involving Chen Hu and a farmer’s sow was known.

This had tarnished Chen Hu’s reputation in Qiutian City, all due to Su Xuan’s handiwork.

After leaving, Su Xuan thought it was unrealistic to go directly after Wang Fangqian. What could he do after finding him—could Datang Restaurant immediately resume business? Impossible. A renovation was needed, and it had to happen step by step.

Dealing with Wang Fangqian was not an urgent matter. The grievances between Su Xuan and him had been building over more than just a day or two.

Su Xuan returned to Datang Restaurant, where cleanup efforts were still underway. Reopening wouldn’t be feasible for at least ten days to half a month. Tang Sisi was so busy she barely had time to catch her breath. Seeing Su Xuan return, she asked, "You didn’t really go see Zhou Tianhao, did you? That man is very powerful in Qiutian City."

Su Xuan handed Tang Sisi two cards.

"What’s this?"

Tang Sisi asked curiously, eyes wide open.

"This is a bit of compensation; we’ll ask for the rest after some time." Su Xuan said casually, knowing that he needed to take things slow with Wang Fangqian.

"How much is this?" Tang Sisi asked.

"Three million."

"That much!"

Tang Sisi’s most pressing concern now was to find out who had provided the money; she hoped it wasn’t actually from Zhou Tianhao, the owner of Supreme Treasure Restaurant.

"Is this really from Zhou Tianhao?"

"Mm-hmm." Su Xuan nodded.

Tang Sisi had thought that Zhou Tianhao was responsible for last night’s fire and said resentfully, "I didn’t expect Zhou Tianhao to be so despicable and shameless. How could such a person become a boss? Even if he did become a real boss, the money he earns would be tainted. Such people will get their comeuppance sooner or later."

"It wasn’t him. It was someone named Wang Fangqian who hired someone to do it."

Su Xuan revealed the truth.

"Wang Fangqian? Isn’t he the eldest son of the Wang Technology Group? I’ve heard of him."

Tang Sisi was a strong woman who had attended high society gatherings multiple times. Although she couldn’t call herself a big boss, she was familiar with the names of those big shots.

She had even shaken hands with the man named Wang Fangqian at a banquet before. Because Tang Sisi was dignified and beautiful, she caught Wang Fangqian’s attention, and he took the opportunity to suggest they meet alone later in the evening, which she declined.

"How could it be him? I’ve met him, and he doesn’t seem like the type to do such a thing."

"You can’t judge a book by its cover; nothing is absolute."

What puzzled Tang Sisi the most was that she had never offended Wang Fangqian. She couldn’t figure out why he would have her store burned down.

"Cough, cough, I will follow up on this. Don’t worry, I will definitely seek justice for you," Su Xuan hastily assured, as offending Wang Fangqian and causing the fire were both his doing.

"Don’t go too far, Zhou Tianhao is not easy to provoke, and neither is Wang Fangqian. Be very careful. I advise you not to mess with them. Also, you should return the three million to him. Whether you accept this money or not could lead to entirely different outcomes."

Tang Sisi, who had lived in Qiutian City for many years, preferred a quiet life. Even if she couldn’t be wealthy, she hoped her days could be peaceful.

"Don’t worry about that. Use the money for your renovations, and if anything happens, come to me. I’ll hold up the sky if it falls," Su Xuan said before leaving. Tang Fengyun, who was nearby, finally relaxed a bit after hearing Su Xuan’s words. He had been distressed by the fire, but now, seeing how protective Su Xuan was over Tang Sisi, he thought this was the kind of son-in-law worth having in the future, someone who could stand firm.

Currently, both Tang Sisi and Li Yuanyuan seemed to have a romantic tension with Su Xuan. After the call from her mother this morning, Li Yuanyuan couldn’t help being distracted during class, unable to get Su Xuan’s image out of her mind.

"Su Xuan, what kind of person are you, really?"

After class, Li Yuanyuan sat at her office desk, resting her chin on her hands.

"Hey, Teacher Li, what kind of good thoughts are you having? You’ve been wearing a blissful smile this whole time," said Teacher Wang, a colleague from the same grade. Teacher Wang was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who took a deep interest in Li Yuanyuan’s love life, as she had a nephew who was still looking for a suitable match.

"Nothing much."

Li Yuanyuan quickly hid her smile, her cheeks flushing with a rosy tint.

"Don’t lie to me. I’ve been through the same stage as you, and there’s nothing I haven’t experienced. You definitely have someone on your mind; you’re just not sure if you’re on his mind yet, right?" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"How did you know?"

Li Yuanyuan blurted out, realizing too late that she had forgotten to maintain her composure, thus revealing her inner thoughts.

"That’s the thing, men are fickle. It’s not terrible to be fickle – as long as they can return home and put their hearts back in place, don’t overdo it. Nowadays, if a man isn’t fickle, it means he’s not handsome enough," said Teacher Wang, ready to share with Li Yuanyuan the lessons she’d learned from years of navigating romantic relationships.

Li Yuanyuan listened with keen interest until Teacher Wang wrapped up the conversation just before school let out.

In the end, it boiled down to two points: first, test whether he truly has you in his heart, and second, if you truly have him in yours.

"A test?"

Li Yuanyuan didn’t quite understand but got the gist—she wondered if it was right to deceive someone in such a manner.

She thought of the time when Su Xuan risked his life to save her in that abandoned factory outside the city. Did she even need to test him? There was no need at all—his actions already proved that she was in his heart.

While pondering how she would test Su Xuan, she suddenly received a call from home. It was her mother.

"Yuanyuan, bring your boyfriend over today for your mom to see. Aunt Li from next door was saying how handsome the young man who visited you is. Bring him home today, or your dad and I won’t let it slide."

"Mom, all you ever worry about is this. My brother isn’t married either—why don’t you focus on disciplining him?"

Li Yuanyuan hung up in frustration. Her brother, Li Chengcheng, was always gambling and would run to their parents for money when broke, leaving them completely disappointed in their son and thankful at least their daughter was obedient.

After some thought, Li Yuanyuan still made a call to Su Xuan: "Hello, Su Xuan? Can you come to my place for dinner?"

Li Yuanyuan summoned her courage. They had only had their first date yesterday, and now she was inviting him to her home. Wasn’t that a bit too fast?
