The Bowl of Seven Emotions

Tang Susu smiled. "I saw Miss Huang a while ago. She and Brother Qi are still together. They've been together for so many years, their relationship must be really good, right?"

Although dating wasn't allowed in high school, in a place like Chongming, if two people really fell in love, no teacher would dare to break them up. Everyone just turned a blind eye.

Hearing her question, Qi Yue's homeroom teacher shook her head. "Back then, it wasn't really that good. I never thought they would last. At that time, Qi Yue had another girlfriend. That girl was a good student, pretty, and soft-spoken. If it weren't for that incident, sigh…"

"Did Brother Qi and his girlfriend break up?"

"Break up? That girl committed suicide!" The female teacher lowered her voice and whispered in Tang Susu's ear.

Tang Susu put on a shocked expression. "No way, why?"

"Something happened at home. The girl's father jumped off a building and died. She and her father had a very good relationship, so she probably couldn't think straight for a while."

This answer left Tang Susu dumbfounded. How come the teacher's words didn't match what she had heard?

She suppressed her doubts and asked, "Why did her father jump off a building? Did his business fail?"

"I know about this." Another female teacher interjected. "Her father was an archaeologist. It was said that he stole a very valuable cultural relic, it should be an ancient mirror. He was investigated by the authorities, couldn't bear the pressure, and committed suicide."

"Why haven't I heard of this before?" Tang Susu sighed softly and clenched her stiff fingers.

"Well, not many people know about this. After all, the girl is dead, and it's a scandal. It's not right to speak ill of her father, so very few people know the truth."

Listening to the two of them talking about the so-called truth, Tang Susu felt a chill run down her spine.

Was she overthinking things, or were others not thinking enough?

She didn't deny her own problem of always overthinking things, but the development of this matter from beginning to end made it hard for her not to think too much.

Perhaps, only Qi Yue and the Dong family knew the truth.

After leaving Chongming High School, she didn't plan to continue investigating. Anyway, in the end, she would know the truth.

The next time she heard news about Huang Xiaoxiao and Qi Yue was half a month later. Some people swore that they were going to break up, but it turned out that they were getting married.

During this time, Huang Xiaoxiao didn't appear at Di Jiang Group, which disappointed many people who were waiting to see the drama unfold.

As for Tang Susu, a box of black roses was delivered to her from home every week.

Now everyone knew that there was a mysterious Mr. S pursuing her, and he was very unique in that he only sent freshly picked black roses. He was outrageously wealthy.

Some were jealous, some were envious, and some secretly inquired whether she had broken up with the boss.

Originally, her surroundings were quite peaceful, but ever since the constant delivery of flowers, her peaceful days were gone. Tang Susu felt extremely annoyed every day and wished she could throw those boxes of roses in Shi Chengxuan's face.

A new week began, and the roses were placed on her desk as expected. Tang Susu only glanced at them before looking away, ignoring the various meaningful looks from her colleagues.

"Ahem, Xiao Tang's boyfriend is quite rich. Why don't you bring him over to let everyone see? It's not like he's someone we can't meet." Someone finally couldn't help but speak up.

Tang Susu looked over. The speaker was Huang Li, who had always seemed to have it out for her. It was no surprise that she was the one who spoke in such a sarcastic tone.

Before she could answer, someone else spoke up. "That's right, Xiao Tang, don't keep him hidden. Let everyone help you check him out."

Once one or two people spoke up, others naturally followed suit.

Tang Susu couldn't very well keep a straight face, so she could only purse her lips, smile at them, and explain in a low voice, "I haven't agreed yet."

"If someone were to send me a box of roses, I would definitely agree. It's been so long, and you're still considering? Be careful, he might fall for someone else." Huang Li couldn't help but say.

"Xiao Tang has plenty of options, what are you trying to instigate?" Sister Xu couldn't stand it anymore and glared at Huang Li.

Tang Susu listened quietly from the side, rarely interjecting, as if the matter they were discussing had nothing to do with her.

The group was chatting excitedly when they saw the CEO walking over. When he passed by Tang Susu's desk, he paused, reached out, and picked up the red rose from the box.

"These flowers are nice." He lowered his eyes to look at Tang Susu, who had turned her head away, and said in a low voice.

The moment the CEO appeared, the surrounding noise disappeared. Everyone went back to doing what they were supposed to be doing, but their attention was still subtly focused on Tang Susu.

"Yes." Tang Susu responded casually.

"They suit you very well." The red rose was tucked into her hair, bringing with it a rich rose fragrance.

Shi Chengxuan left, leaving the people in the office in complete shock.

What did the boss mean by that?

He was clearly making their relationship public!!!

Amidst the excited colleagues, Tang Susu gritted her teeth and took the rose from her hair, crushing it into a ball. The flower juice stained her hand red, but she didn't seem to notice.

Shi Chengxuan!

Secretary Wu silently followed behind the boss, looking sympathetically at Tang Susu, who was sitting in the office with a slightly distorted expression. For some reason, she felt a bit sorry for her.

The boss's way of pursuing a girl was different from others. Others would confess first and then make it public. He, on the other hand, made it public first and didn't even confess.

Clearly, the two of them were still innocent, their relationship pure and without even holding hands. Now, everyone thought that Tang Susu had successfully won over the boss.

Heh, would anyone dare to pursue Tang Susu now?

As for her saying that she hadn't agreed yet, everyone understood it as her being shy. After all, how could any woman refuse a man like the CEO?

Let's not mention the storm that the CEO's actions caused within Di Jiang Group. At this moment, the Huang family was in a state of chaos.

Master Ying had made all the preparations and calculated the auspicious time, intending to transfer Huang Xiaoxiao's soul back into her body from the mirror. However, something went wrong in the middle of the process. Not only was he unable to transfer the soul back, but he himself was injured by the shattered mirror and fell unconscious.

Master Ying was already quite old. After suffering such a serious injury, it was uncertain whether he would wake up. He was still lying in the ICU.

After examining Huang Xiaoxiao's condition, his young disciple, Ying Jue, gave Mr. and Mrs. Huang an answer that made them collapse.

Because the seventh day, the day for the soul to return, had passed, Dong Qing's soul had completely fused with Huang Xiaoxiao's body. It would be beyond human ability to swap their souls again.

Moreover, the Inside-Outside Mirror, which served as the medium for the soul swap, was severely damaged and could not be repaired for the time being. No one knew what would happen to Huang Xiaoxiao.

Now that things had come to this point, there was no room for maneuver.
