Chapter 092: We’re Both Women. You Don’t Have to Lie to Me

The phrase “a pleasure to meet you” meant, It is an honor to meet you. It was properly a social formula for a first encounter with an elder or someone of higher standing, and it carried respect toward the person addressed.

For Madam Su to say “a pleasure to meet you” to Wu Chen gave everyone present a strange feeling.

More than strange. Li Ruobing caught a thread of danger in her tone.

Wu Chen had taken Su Qingying and run all over the city for an entire day, and only now had Madam Su managed to find him. That truly was… a tremendous “honor.”

Madam Su was a noblewoman who never lost propriety in public. Many of the demands she placed on her daughter were copied straight from her own habits. So as she shook Wu Chen’s hand there wasn’t a trace of anger on her face. She remained as dignified and graceful as ever.

“Mr. Wu is indeed as handsome and impressive as the rumors say. Miss Li, you have a good eye.” Madam Su actually paid him another compliment, then turned her gaze to Li Ruobing.

There was meaning behind her words.

“Madam Su flatters me,” Li Ruobing said.

Wu Chen kept smiling and couldn’t be bothered to speak.

“This isn’t the place to talk.” Madam Su looked left and right, her gaze traveling back and forth over Wu Chen and Li Ruobing. “Why don’t we find somewhere and talk properly? What do you say, Miss Li?”

In the end she put the question to Li Ruobing, because she judged Li Ruobing to be the one running things.

“Of course. As it happens, there are a few things I’d like to discuss with Madam Su as well…” Li Ruobing said with a faint smile.

They got into the cars and left.

Wu Chen didn’t ride with Li Ruobing. He went straight over and got into his own Lamborghini.

Li Ruobing had driven the Bentley Continental today, and with Wu Chen gone the passenger seat sat empty. Su Qingying, who had been about to get into her mother’s car and had already braced herself to weather the storm inside it, saw this. Once her mother was in, she suddenly shut the door and hurried after Li Ruobing.

The window of the Mercedes-Maybach came down at once. Madam Su twisted around and leaned out, ready to call her daughter back—only to see that Su Qingying had already gotten into the same Bentley as Li Ruobing and hurriedly shut the door.

Her expression shifted. She said nothing more.

More than a dozen cars took to the road together. The Su family’s motorcade led. Li Ruobing and her bodyguards’ cars followed. Wu Chen drove the Lamborghini at the very rear.

He had stayed out of Li Ruobing’s car on purpose.

He knew Su Qingying was afraid, so all he had to do was leave the seat open and she would go to Li Ruobing without fail.

He didn’t want anything uncontrollable happening with Su Qingying alone in a car with her mother.

Her fear of her mother wasn’t something that could be reversed in an afternoon. Under interrogation she really might say the wrong thing, so it was better to be careful.

Inside the Bentley Continental.

Only Li Ruobing and Su Qingying.

“What exactly is going on between you and Wu Chen?” Li Ruobing asked abruptly as she drove.

Su Qingying glanced at her and began, “Sister, I—”

“Could you stop calling me Sister? You’re older. You’re the older one. You’re the sister!” Li Ruobing was close to a stress reaction. Back in Wu Chen’s bedroom, Su Qingying’s bizarre behavior had genuinely frightened her.

Su Qingying sensed something was off.

“Then… Miss Li, may I ask you something first?”

“What?”

“You and Wu Chen… are you in that kind of relationship?”

“What kind of relationship?” Li Ruobing didn’t follow, and glanced over at her.

Su Qingying realized at once that she might have gotten it wrong. She was about to ask something else, and stopped, afraid that a badly chosen question would expose her instead.

After a pause, she asked, “Then, Miss Li… have you slept with Wu Chen?”

Extraordinarily direct.

“No. Of course not.” Li Ruobing’s head snapped…
