…
On the sofa, the mother and daughter remained in an embrace and snuggled up to each other for more than half an hour.
Aunt Zou’s head had a big bump from Xu Mingzhi’s slap.
She was curious why Madam Xu only came back for her daughter now if she cared so much about her?
It was the third time Aunt Zou came to the living room to serve tea, and they were still in the same position!
Xu Mingzhi had also reincarnated into another body, but she came earlier. The day she came, the original owner had just given birth to Su Ji ten months ago.
As she looked at her husband, who looked exactly the same as he did in his previous life, be it his looks, personality, or even his name, Xu Mingzhi had already predicted the future of their relationship.
She didn’t want to quarrel with him again. Whether it was in her previous life or in this life, she didn’t think that this man could change.
When he saw the baby in the cradle that looked like her daughter, Xu Mingzhi was very annoyed.
That night, Su Cunyi came back from a business meeting, and she also happened to come back from work.
The two of them were both angry when they saw each other, and even said the exact same thing.
“Why aren’t you taking care of the baby at home?”
Su Cunyi had been holding it in for several months. He wanted to use alcohol as an excuse to vent, but before he could say a word, Xu Mingzhi threw the divorce papers at him.
Su Cunyi was dumbfounded.
He had never thought of getting a divorce.
Xu Mingzhi wanted custody of Su Ji since she looked exactly like her daughter.
However, Su Cunyi felt that she couldn’t take care of a child, so he tried every means possible to win custody of Su Ji.
At that time, Xu Mingzhi had just transmigrated and didn’t understand the laws of modern society. She lost the lawsuit and went to Continent M in a rage.
After that, she would come back to see Su Ji once in a while. However, as Su Ji grew up, her heart grew colder and colder.
She was not her daughter.
She was sad to see that Su Ji had lost her mother, but she did not have much sympathy.
Since Su Cunyi had won custody, he should bear the responsibility.
She could change her husband, but not her daughter!
Xu Mingzhi asked Su Ji when she came, and Su Ji roughly told her what had happened that day. She also mentioned that her tomb had been dug up and her treasures had been confiscated.
However, she didn’t mention that it was related to Pei Huai.
She understood her mother’s character.
She was fierce.
Xu Mingzhi hugged her daughter, “baby, don’t be angry. I have a lot of money for you.”
“Sir, you’re back! Madam Xu…!”
Su cunyi was cleared of suspicion and was released.
He rushed into the house and interrupted Aunt Zou, “where’s Su Ji? Is she awake?”
Aunt Zou darted a quick glance at the living room, her expression nervous, “yes…”
Su Cunyi looked over and was stunned!
“Mingzhi…”
He didn’t sleep the night before, and the events that happened that night had numbed his mind.
But even so, he was still shocked to see Xu Mingzhi.
Over the years, Xu Mingzhi had come to see Su Ji countless times, and every time she came, she came quietly, so Su Cunyi couldn’t see her at all.
After not seeing her for more than ten years, Xu Mingzhi had not changed at all.
He turned around and looked at his own reflection. He was so haggard that he could be her father.
Xu Mingzhi patted her daughter’s head lovingly, and the two of them separated reluctantly.
Her eyes moved up to Su Cunyi, and her expression almost instantly turned cold, “please address me by my surname next time, or else others might misunderstand.”
Su Cunyi then noticed that she was wearing the same clothes as Mr. Yu, who he had seen at the police station last night.
However, she wasn’t wearing her hat this time.
He closed his eyes, trying to make sense of the situation. After a while, he said in a defeated tone, “you are Mr. Yu?”
Su Cunyi looked around and found that the house seemed to be extra quiet today.
“Did you see the two other children when you came over?”
He was afraid that Xu Mingzhi and the children might start arguing if they met.
“When I arrived, your two precious babies were trying to put insects into my daughter’s room,” Xu Mingzhi said, “as for the reason, you’ll know when you go upstairs and see how they are now.”
“Su Ji, are you okay?” Su Cunyi was shocked.
Su Ji replied, “yes…”
Xu Mingzhi raised her hand and pulled her behind her and said calmly, “baby, don’t talk to him, he’s not worthy.”
“…”
He looked at Su Ji and was relieved to see that she was fine.
Xu Mingzhi crossed her legs and changed her sitting position. At the same time, she pointed at the seat opposite her.
Su Cunyi was in his own house, but he was timid.
He took off his coat and held it in front of him, sitting like an obedient child.
“You want to bid for the new energy project?”
Su Cunyi looked at her. His last bit of pride didn’t allow him to nod.
But he didn’t need to answer, as Xu Mingzhi already knew.
If he didn’t want to, Ning Lihua wouldn’t have sent someone to her room.
Xu Mingzhi went straight to the point, “you can have it.”
“?”
“But, I want Su Ji’s custody,” Xu Mingzhi added.
“Absolutely not!” Su Cunyi immediately refused.
“No? What right do you have to say no? I’ve given you twenty years, but what’s the result? Are the two kids lying upstairs your children? Is the woman locked up in the police station your wife? What right do you have to take care of my daughter?”
Su Cunyi couldn’t say a word.
He looked at Su Ji for help, but Su Ji only shrugged.
Xu Mingzhi held her daughter’s hand, “I’ll give you a few days to prepare for this. However, I’ll take Su Ji away today.”
“You’re letting her stay in the hotel with you?”
“Do you think I can’t buy a house?” Xu Mingzhi smiled.
She stood up with Su Ji, leaving Su Cunyi to stare at her back.
Walking out of the Su family’s house and passing by Wang Zhicheng, Xu Mingzhi stopped for a moment, “oh right, I need a driver.”
Wang Zhicheng froze, and he was instantly excited, “I’ll go and resign now!”
Su Cunyi heard the sound of footsteps at the door and thought that his daughter was reluctant to leave him.
His nose was sour and his eyes were red. He stood up to welcome her, but it was Wang Zhicheng!
“…”
A minute later, Wang Zhicheng explained his intention.
“…”
And he’s here to f * cking resign!
