60: Chapter 60 Dinner – Tit for Tat 60: Chapter 60 Dinner – Tit for Tat “Hello, Miss Su.” Luo Shiqi turned her head to look at Su Qingyu and smiled lightly, causing Ye Shikai to feel a wave of unease. This was the first time the three of them had met simultaneously. Faced with these two peerless beauties, Ye Shikai was somewhat stupefied. Indeed, comparing them when they were together was easier; both were peerless in beauty—Su Qingyu emanating a noble and elegant aura, while Luo Shiqi, clad in a bright red evening gown, appeared even more enchanting and attractive. There was no denying that both women were extraordinary beauties, and now, they... faced off. “Everyone knows Miss Su is a business prodigy in Yanjing, yet I didn’t expect you to be so involved in charitable affairs,” said Luo Shiqi, her tone calm. But Ye Shikai could hear the underlying meaning in her words—she seemed somewhat unwelcoming towards Su Qingyu, even portraying her as a businessman who was only good at making money with no compassion at all. Su Qingyu was not angered, speaking lightly in response, “Miss Luo is a renowned philanthropist and business magnate in Yanjing, who would dare to offend her? I couldn’t possibly compare.” The irony was blatant. Su Qingyu, knowing full well that Luo Shiqi was the Underground Queen, made such a remark—it seemed like flattery, but it was actually mocking Luo Shiqi. Since he could discern it, there was no way Luo Shiqi couldn’t, and Ye Shikai carefully noticed Luo Shiqi’s lips twitching slightly—apparently, Su Qingyu’s sarcasm had displeased her. “Miss Luo is an influential figure in Yanjing. If you speak like this and she becomes displeased, then we will suffer,” chimed in Su Ziqing at that moment, surprising Ye Shikai. He hadn’t expected the usually blunt Su Ziqing to be perceptive. Her words not only mocked Luo Shiqi again but also put Luo Shiqi in a position where it was awkward for her to argue back. According to Su Ziqing’s reasoning, if Luo Shiqi continued to argue, it would make her seem relentless. “Miss Luo, my sister is outspoken, please don’t take it to heart,” said Su Qingyu before Su Ziqing could finish, and Ye Shikai inwardly sighed. The two sisters were strategically retreating to advance, playing their duet perfectly... now Luo Shiqi had no ground to continue. But Luo Shiqi was not someone to be easily cowed. “Hehe, Su Ziqing is still young, why would I stoop to her level?” Luo Shiqi thought to herself, mockingly, thinking that she couldn’t also employ a strategy of retreat? “Miss Su, Mr. Ye and I are really good friends. Hearing that he now works at your company, I hope you can look out for him,” Luo Shiqi stressed “good friends” heavily, leading to some suggestive thoughts. Upon hearing this, Ye Shikai was momentarily stunned—how had the women’s fight involved him unexpectedly, even though he was merely lying low? Just as expected, upon hearing these words, Su Qingyu’s expression turned slightly unpleasant, a look of embarrassment evident as she faced him. Luo Shiqi had hit right at Su Qingyu’s weak points. Despite her years in the business world maintaining her composure, Su Qingyu responded, “Of course, Ye Shikai has always performed well at the company, and I was actually planning on promoting him. There’s no need for Miss Luo to worry about this matter.” With double entendre, Su Qingyu reminded Luo Shiqi, firstly, that Ye Shikai belonged to their company, implying she should not interfere too much, and secondly, hinting not to vie for Ye Shikai. Unbeknownst to Su Qingyu, Luo Shiqi was already aware that the two were married; she had long suspected a connection between herself and Luo Shiqi, but Luo Shiqi’s behavior today only solidified Su Qingyu’s suspicions. Ye Shikai secretly sighed in his heart, the battles between women are equally cruel, just a few sentences and already filled with a fiery tension, as if it were an inner court struggle. “Miss Su, Mr. Ye and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, and today we happened to meet. I would like him to come over to my place. I wonder what President Su thinks about this.” Luo Shiqi’s final address to Su Qingyu as “President Su” was a veiled reminder that Ye Shikai is your employee, but where he goes is his freedom, you can’t control him. Upon hearing this, Su Qingyu felt conflicted and reluctant. She hadn’t announced her marriage with Ye Shikai to the public, so apart from Luo Shiqi, everyone else thought Ye Shikai was just an employee of Su Qingyu. Since he is an employee, the president indeed can’t control where he goes, but how could she willingly let her husband be snatched away by another woman, especially such a charming one. “Since Miss Luo has already said that, then of course I have no objection, as long as Ye Shikai is willing, I will not force him.” After finishing her words, Su Qingyu gave herself a fierce look, her expression was so fierce that it wasn’t an exaggeration to say it was murderous, as if to say, if you dare to go I’ll chop you up in a minute... “Miss Luo, I appreciate your kindness, but our president is still here, how can I go somewhere else?” Ye Shikai spoke righteously, but a trace of pride crossed his heart, actually somewhat wanting to agree to Luo Shiqi’s request, just to see Su Qingyu’s frustrated look, how about that, usually indifferent to me, and now caring so much about herself, having these two unparalleled beauties opposing each other for him, any man’s heart would swell. “Well...okay then.” Luo Shiqi looked at herself sorrowfully, obviously dissatisfied with being rejected, after all, she lowered her status to come over and invite you and you refused, how can she step down gracefully. “Then I’ll sit with Miss Su. It has been a long time since I last met Ye Shikai, we can chat too. Miss Su won’t refuse, right?” Luo Shiqi devised a plan, since you won’t come to my place, then I can always come to yours. “This...of course, I don’t mind.” Su Qingyu couldn’t withstand Luo Shiqi’s incessant nagging, given her influence, today she wouldn’t quit until she got a seat next to Su. Temporarily, Su Qingyu didn’t want to provoke Luo Shiqi, after all, her influence is too great and it could impact the corporation, so she put on a very welcoming face, but deep down she was very reluctant. After everyone took their seats, Su Qingyu sat to the left of Ye Shikai. Originally, Su Ziqing wanted to sit on his right, but Luo Shiqi quickly took the spot, which infuriated the little girl Su Ziqing, leaving her with no choice but to sit beside Su Qingyu.
