Chapter 239 - 239 Snatching
239 Snatching
Su Qian raised his voice and shouted angrily at Su Qing’s back, “Alright! Since you’ve said so, let’s not ask about each other’s matters in the future! When you’re deceived by that bastard, don’t come crying to me! Hmph!”
When Su Qian spoke, Su Qing paused for a moment. After hearing his announcement, or rather, his declaration of war, she felt that he was extremely childish, just like Huo Qi!
Seeing Su Qian walk away in a huff, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Kong Yue took a step forward and called Su Qian’s name a few times, wanting him to come back and clarify things. However, Su Qian was furious with Su Qing. The young master’s temper had clouded his mind, and he ignored his mother’s anxious urging.
Kong Yue was helpless. She turned around and looked at Su Qing’s face worriedly. Her heart ached as she said, “Qingqing, ignore him! He’s just acting like a spoiled brat. He’ll be fine tomorrow. Don’t mind him!”
Su Qing took a deep breath and glanced at Kong Yue. She said calmly, “I understand, Mommy. It’s getting late. You should rest early too.” With that, Su Qing walked up the stairs, with a cold aura emanating from her body.
Kong Yue looked at Su Qing’s slender back and sighed helplessly. She muttered to herself, “What’s going on? A heart-to-heart conversation with my precious daughter was forcefully ruined by this brat! Sigh.”
Kong Yue sighed and pulled her coat tighter. Thinking about what had just happened, she walked back to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Su Zheng was sitting on the bed and reading a book. When he saw her enter, he asked softly, “What’s wrong? Why do you look unhappy again? Who made you angry?”
Ignoring Su Zheng’s question, Kong Yue gently pulled open the blanket and lay down. She said worriedly, “Your youngest son and my precious daughter quarreled downstairs just now. This is so worrying!”
When Su Zheng heard this, he smiled faintly. “What do you mean by yours and mine? Aren’t they all our children? Number Five is a little jumpy and willful. Hasn’t he quarreled with all of his brothers? What’s wrong with arguing with Qingqing? Perhaps they’ll be fine tomorrow!”
Kong Yue sighed slightly. “I hope so.”
After returning to her room, Su Qing wasn’t annoyed by her argument with Su Qian for long. She leaned against the large balcony and looked up to feel the evening breeze.
“Don’t you have class tomorrow? Aren’t you going to sleep?” Su Lu’s voice sounded from the other side with a faint chuckle and concern.
Su Qing took a deep breath and turned to look at her third brother, who was also leaning against the balcony. She nodded slightly and replied, “I’ll be going to sleep soon.”
Su Lu swirled the wine glass in his hand and nodded with a smile. “I snatched two very precious tickets to the exhibition at the Soaring Heaven Pavilion from a friend. It’s going to be held in the city center tomorrow afternoon. Sister, do you want to go?”
“An art exhibition at the Soaring Heaven Pavilion? Third Brother, you actually got tickets to that?” Su Qing asked in surprise.
“That’s right! Do you want to go? I saw you at the Yuan family’s exhibition alone previously, so I thought that you might be interested!” Su Lu said with a smile. An imperceptible dark glint flashed across his dark eyes, but it was so fast that Su Qing didn’t notice it.
Didn’t Huo Qi say that he would ask his sister out for dinner? He would snatch her away first and bring her to the exhibition. Wasn’t that good? It wasn’t that simple to woo the only treasure of the Su family. Every one of the five brothers was not easy to deal with.
Su Lu wasn’t like Su Qian, who only knew how to directly step in and stop his sister and Huo Qi. That would backfire. His strategy was still the best. He could unknowingly ruin Huo Qi’s plan and not make his sister angry. This was a brilliant plan!
“There’s no need, Third Brother. I still have very important classes tomorrow. Go find someone else.” Su Qing glanced at the sky and said calmly, as though she wasn’t interested.
Su Lu was speechless.
The corners of Su Lu’s mouth twitched slightly. He coughed unnaturally and pretended to be relaxed as he probed, “Why? Aren’t you interested?”
Su Qing felt that her third brother was also a little strange, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. She turned around to look at Su Lu and frowned slightly. “Didn’t I say that I have class? I can’t go! Third Brother, what’s wrong? You’re acting strangely.”
