The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 502 - 448 What Are Your Conditions

Chapter 502: Chapter 448 What Are Your Conditions
"Miss Zhuo, as far as I know, you haven’t known Chengxi for very long, right?" Su Yingluo is still confident in her twenty-year relationship with Bai Chengxi.
"Yes, indeed not for long." Zhuo Yuqing did not deny, "Certainly shorter compared to Miss Su’s twenty years."
"Then, Miss Zhuo, do you think Chengxi really likes you? He’s just settling for someone because at his age, it’s unavoidable that his family would pressure him to marry, and others would laugh at him."
"I see." Zhuo Yuqing appeared to understand, "If he wanted to settle, why would he settle if he still has feelings for Miss Su?"
With one sentence, Su Yingluo was rendered speechless, feeling both anxious and angry, unable to help but change her tone: "Miss Zhuo, you really think highly of yourself, a poor little journalist, do you think Chengxi would fancy you? You’re of no help to his career, being with him only holds him back, there’s simply no match."
"So this is what you’ve always thought." Zhuo Yuqing stood up, "I’m unlike Miss Su, I believe in love, not family background. If Bai Chengxi cares about family background, then he would choose me, not Miss Su."
"You, what do you mean?" Su Yingluo blinked, her voice trembling.
Zhuo Yuqing smiled, "Miss Su, think about it yourself. I have other matters to attend to, please excuse me."
"Wait." Su Yingluo hurriedly stopped her: "As long as you’re willing to give up Chengxi, name your conditions."
Zhuo Yuqing couldn’t help but laugh, in the eyes of this actress Su, are emotions really something to be traded? What family background, what background, what financial means, all became the standards for measuring emotions in front of her, is it she who believes too much in love, or is Su Yingluo too realistic.
Zhuo Yuqing felt there was nothing more to discuss with her, their values are different, no topic could bridge them together.
"Miss Su, if you think I’m after something, are you sure the conditions you’re offering are better than what I’m getting from Bai Chengxi?"
Su Yingluo was choked by her words, not expecting this young girl to be so sharp-witted.
Zhuo Yuqing didn’t want to talk more, stood up and left the private room, Su Yingluo’s intention was not achieved, how could she let her go so easily? Initially, she wanted to provoke Zhuo and see her angered, but instead, Su Yingluo found herself filled with anger.
This young lady seems simple and pure, but she’s not easy to deal with at all, surely a cunning woman, otherwise, she wouldn’t have Bai Chengxi wrapped around her finger.
"Miss Su, sorry, but you cannot leave." Su Yingluo was stopped by two bodyguards, only able to watch Zhuo Yuqing’s retreating back helplessly, stomping her foot in frustration. Now, Zhuo Yuqing looked every bit the main wife, even the bodyguards protected her, while she seemed like an unwanted concubine.
Su Yingluo, always so proud, when has she ever been treated like this, yet unable to do anything about these two strong men in front of her, almost cursed out of frustration.
Zhuo Yuqing left the cafe and received a call from the chief editor.
"Yuqing, come to the office." The chief editor’s tone was serious, "There’s something I need to discuss with you."
"Alright, I’m on my way." Zhuo Yuqing had taken a leave today, but since the chief editor mentioned there was a matter, she had to go back to the magazine first.
Upon entering the office, Zhuo Yuqing felt something was off. Usually, her colleagues who were always warm to her just nodded at her faintly this time, turned their backs with a change in their expressions, and even whispered among themselves.
Others might not know who this Mistress Z is, but everyone in the magazine was well aware. The last time Bai Chengxi came to pick up Zhuo Yuqing from work, he publicly acknowledged her status at the newspaper office, causing envy among others.
But now, with the news about Su Yingluo released, everyone naturally perceived Zhuo Yuqing as the mistress who broke up another’s relationship, guessing she must have used some schemes behind the scenes to split Su Yingluo and Bai Chengxi, the previous envy turning sour.
As soon as Zhuo Yuqing entered the chief editor’s office, he sighed, "Yuqing, what’s going on with you and Mr. Bai?"
"Chief editor, this is my personal matter, it doesn’t relate to work, does it?" Zhuo Yuqing didn’t want to explain to others, as it would only complicate matters more.
"Although it is your personal matter, you had a great chance at being promoted to deputy chief editor. As soon as this news came out, some senior leaders questioned your character in front of the president, also, as you know, the president supports you because of your relationship with Mr. Bai." The chief editor did not continue but looked meaningfully at Zhuo Yuqing, believing she would understand her implication.
