Chapter 630 - He Just Has no Taste!
Chapter 630: He Just Has no Taste!
Madam Dugu wasn’t joking.
The next day, she brought Hua Guangwen to meet Su Huiqing.
“You must be Little Brother Heng’s daughter. You are indeed very beautiful.” Madam Dugu looked at Su Huiqing with a smile. “I heard from the elders that you are also 20 years old. You are the same age as our Shuang’er. Guangwen, this is your Uncle Dugu Heng’s daughter. Come and get to know her.”
Hua Guangwen glanced at Su Huiqing and frowned.
However, Madam Dugu didn’t seem to notice it. “I’ll go next door to take a look at Shuang’er. You young people have a good chat.”
After Madam Dugu left, the smile on Hua Guangxuan’s face disappeared. He just glanced at Su Huiqing coldly. “I believe you know what Auntie Dugu means. Although you are the Dugu Family Head’s daughter, I don’t have that kind of thoughts towards you. Do you understand?”
With such a talented person like Dugu Shuang in front of him, it was very difficult for him to have any thoughts about other girls.
Only then did Su Huiqing realize that Madam Dugu had such intentions.
She was silent for a moment. “Didn’t I say that I already have a boyfriend?”
Her silence made Hua Guangwen think that she was sad. The last sentence was more like an excuse. He frowned. “You don’t have to be sad. Don’t compare yourself to my junior sister. She was already outstanding when she was with Master…”
Seeing that Su Huiqing was looking at him expressionlessly—for some reason, Hua Guangwen didn’t dare to look her in the eye. Hence, he fled.
After Hua Guangwen left, Dugu Ji-An came to look for Su Huiqing.
Two people with extraordinary statuses came to look for Su Huiqing, especially Dugu Ji-An. He was accompanied by the upper echelons of the Dugu Family, which surprised the other girls on the second floor.
“Su Huiqing, who was that person looking for you just now?” Even they could not hide their gossipy hearts. “Is he your boyfriend?”
Su Huiqing took out her phone and glanced at them. “No.”
If she said no, it should be true. After all, who wouldn’t show off such a person?
At this, the few of them relaxed.
However, Su Huiqing didn’t say anything and just returned to her room.
After she left, the other girls didn’t quiet down either. One of them asked the girl who had just spoken, “Do you know that person?”
The girl took a deep breath. “I don’t know that person, but I have seen the person beside him before. He is the person in charge of our family’s selection this time. Even if I have to say it in a low voice, he is also the elder’s candidate.”
Everyone took a deep breath.
Looking at the closed door, they couldn’t snap out of their trance. They never expected Su Huiqing, who was so insignificant in their eyes, to have such connections. She actually knew someone like Dugu Ji-An.
One of the girls was indignant. “There are already fewer slots, but there’s actually a very capable person!”
…
Meanwhile, Madam Dugu was still sitting in a tea house.
The people at the tea house recognized her and immediately brought her to a private room upstairs. She sat on a chair. “Shuang’er will be participating in the selection competition tomorrow. I wonder what the results will be.”
“Miss Shuang’er will definitely be the first. It will definitely not be an accident if she successfully enters the Elder Cabinet. Thinking about it, Miss should be the third person in history to enter the Elder Cabinet.” The guard smiled. “This subordinate will congratulate Madam first.”
Madam Dugu smiled and pushed open the window. She seemed to have recalled something and glanced sideways. “How was Shuang’er’s senior brother chatting with Su Huiqing?”
“You mean him? After you left, that Hua Guangwen immediately left.” The guard beside her couldn’t help but laugh. “Madam, you know that Hua Guangwen has always liked our Missy. Our Missy is outstanding in all aspects of the younger generation. With our Missy in front, how could he take a liking to Su Huiqing? You really think too highly of him.”
“This is my fault. Go invite Miss Su over. I want to personally apologize to her.” Upon hearing this, Madam Dugu’s tone was filled with guilt, but her eyes flashed with mockery.
The guard immediately cupped his hands and went to look for Su Huiqing.
Su Huiqing wanted to explore the island. When she heard the guard’s words, she didn’t reject and just came to the tea house.
Unexpectedly, Dugu Shuang was also there. As she spoke to Madam Dugu, she didn’t speak to Su Huiqing at first.
Su Huiqing dragged her chair over and sat at the table. She looked so relaxed that it was as if this was her own home.
Only then did Madam Dugu notice Su Huiqing. “Niece, when did you come?”
Su Huiqing just smiled and looked at Madam Dugu.
Only then did Madam Dugu feel a little awkward. She reached out to hold Su Huiqing’s hand. “I’m really sorry about today. I didn’t expect that brat from the Hua Family to humiliate you like this. This is my fault. Niece, don’t blame me. I will help you look for him in two days. That brat from the Hua Family just doesn’t have good taste. It’s rare to see you like this.”
Dugu Shuang finally understood what had happened.
She picked up her teacup and sipped on her tea, a faint mocking smile on her lips.
