Chapter 853 -853: She Disappeared
Su Hongxing looked toward Ye Qilan.
The whole world knew that Cao Shiyu wanted to be with Ye Qilan. In pursuit of Ye Qilan, Cao Shiyu had gone mad.
“She has no choice but to comply! Su, give me a bit more time, I will handle this. Dad has never asked you for anything, but this time, I hope you will show some mercy. If she refuses to go abroad, I will leave her to you to deal with.” After saying this, Cao Zhen left the meeting room.
Ye Qilan watched Cao Zhen as he walked away and said to Su Hongxing, “Mr. Cao is ultimately too soft-hearted, not like he used to be.”
“No matter what, Cao Shiyu is still his daughter. No matter how harsh he sounds, he can’t ignore Cao Shiyu,” Su Hongxing sighed softly.
She feared that giving Cao Zhen time to deal with Cao Shiyu was akin to releasing a tiger back to the mountain.
She was certain that this woman, Cao Shiyu, was beyond saving, terminally ill!
“Are you sure you want to give them father and daughter time? If we don’t deal with Cao Shiyu now and give her a chance to catch her breath, she will surely make a comeback,” Ye Qilan also had the same concerns as Su Hongxing.
“Dad has already asked, and he saved my life, how could I refuse him?” Su Hongxing replied, feeling agitated.
Reason told her not to let emotions affect her judgement.
But emotionally, if it weren’t for Cao Zhen, there would be no her today, no Little Pudding; those were debts of two human lives, how could she be ungrateful and betray him?
Two days later, the news of Cao Zhen and Guan Ya signing divorce papers was making headlines. Later, photographs were taken, confirming that Cao Zhen and Guan Ya indeed had divorced.
As for Cao Shiyu, people also saw her at the international airport, with Guan Ya by her side.
Netizens said that Guan Ya and Cao Shiyu, the mother and daughter, knew they couldn’t stay in Taicheng, so they planned to go abroad to avoid trouble.
Su Hongxing saw this news and felt uneasy.
Lately, she had been having nightmares, always feeling that something big was about to happen.
But after that day, there was no news of Cao Shiyu anymore. Some netizens mentioned seeing Cao Shiyu in a country in Europe, and others claimed that there was a man with her.
Over the next month, Ye Shiqing was undoubtedly the most prominent figure. Rumors were rampant that Cao Zhen was considering stepping down, and Ye Shiqing was his successor.
Ye Shiqing was highly regarded by Cao Zhen, the most important thing being his exceptional abilities and commanding presence, upright and honest; Cao Zhen liked Ye Shiqing’s character and dealings.
If Ye Shiqing became the chief official of Taicheng after his retiring, it would undoubtedly be a blessing for the common people.
The one who was likely the most distressed was probably Qiao Qiao?
After losing her job, Qiao Qiao had been looking for work. Although the Qiao Family was gradually declining, they could still support her. But she couldn’t stay idle and didn’t want to be a freeloader anymore.
She didn’t want to work in Qiao Family’s company, so she sent out quite a few resumes outside, but no company hired her.
Lately, she was mysteriously called to the municipal office building for an interview.
She didn’t even remember applying there, but she went for the interview anyway.
The outcome of the interview was unexpected; the interviewer just gave her a meaningful glance and told her to start working in the publicity department the next day.
She thought, since she was idle anyway, having a job was better than having no job at all.
With this mindset, she went to report to the publicity department the next day.
Since it was a light-duty job, she spent her days chatting, drinking tea, and doing some government-related publicity work, and the days just passed by.
