The Bowl of Seven Emotions

“Of course, I believe in Mr. Huang's character. I'll wait for your good news.”

Knowing that the other party didn't want to continue the conversation, Huang Qi got up tactfully. Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but turn around. "I wonder what kind of treasures does Director Shi prefer?"

Shi Chengxuan smiled. "Jade pendants are good, in pairs, with good meaning."

In pairs… Huang Qi understood and raised Tang Susu's importance to a new level.

As soon as Huang Qi left, Secretary Wu entered the office. Seeing that the boss's face was pretty good, he knew that the conversation between the two went well.

Although he didn't know the reason why the boss was targeting the Huang family, since the boss made a move, the Huang family must have crossed his bottom line. He wished them good luck.

Two weeks before Huang Xiaoxiao and Qi Yue's wedding, Tang Susu finally met Qi Yue in person.

He looked very different from the day he was in the small prison cell at the Huang family. Although his face was pale, his spirit was good. He was probably satisfied and had a smile on his face.

He called Tang Susu to dinner, and Tang Susu happily accepted.

The two came to a private kitchen. There was only one table in the entire shop, which received them. A sign was hung outside, indicating that no more guests were being served.

After the waiter served them tea and left, the two sat facing each other. Qi Yue kept staring at Tang Susu, while Tang Susu just took small sips of the hot tea in her cup leisurely.

"I always thought that everything that happened that day was a dream," Qi Yue said suddenly.

"Oh? A good dream or a nightmare?"

"Probably a good dream… right?" After a pause, he added, "Qingqing is still the same as before, she hasn't changed at all." His voice was a little erratic, as if he was reminiscing, and the expression on his face also spoke of his satisfaction.

Tang Susu looked at him and couldn't help but think, if he was told that all this was exchanged with his lifespan, would he still have this attitude towards Dong Qing?

The human mind is always very complicated. Love may be important, but there are always other things more important than love. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many lovesick men and resentful women.

After thinking about it, she still didn't tell the truth.

It doesn't really matter whether you say it or not.

"Then congratulations."

Qi Yue smiled, accepted her congratulations, and immediately changed the subject. "I'm looking for you today mainly because of that mirror. I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you the function of that mirror at the beginning. Now, the mirror is in the hands of the Huang family, and I heard that it has been destroyed."

Tang Susu raised her eyebrows and hid it before Qi Yue could notice. She said in a flat voice, "So, what are you going to do?"

"If you want, I hope to compensate you in other ways, money or other equivalents are fine." Although in the eyes of the Huang family, Qi Yue was still a poor boy. As a smart man who had stayed by Huang Xiaoxiao's side for so many years, how could Qi Yue not have a family fortune?

He was even richer and more calculating than most second-generation children who had not inherited their family business.

"Okay." The business of getting something for nothing is always very pleasing.

Seeing that Tang Susu was unexpectedly easy to talk to, Qi Yue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He couldn't figure out this person's methods, so it was better not to be an enemy for now.

The dishes were served quickly, six dishes for two people, and an extra set of bowls and plates were specially reserved for Gou Dan. The waiter didn't care about the extra bowls and plates on the table, as if he didn't see them.

Gou Dan was quite satisfied with the meal, and happily gnawed on a big prawn the size of a palm. Tang Susu touched its head and turned to talk to Qi Yue.

"I want to ask you something."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Where did the Huang family get that mirror?"

As soon as this question came out, Qi Yue's expression became a little complicated. "The Huang family has always claimed that the mirror was passed down from their ancestors, and it is true, but it was not passed down from the Huang family."

Tang Susu raised her eyebrows, waiting for his next words.

"That mirror is a family heirloom of the Dong family. I saw it at the Dong family many years ago." He closed his eyes. "Later, my uncle suddenly jumped off the building because someone said he stole something, and the stolen item was that burnt bone peony mirror."

Qi Yue's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had thought of the scene back then, his fists clenched. "It was clearly something from the Dong family, but with the Huang family's words, it became theirs, just because they were more powerful and influential, just because my uncle couldn't produce evidence that the mirror belonged to him."

As expected…

"What about Dong Qing? Why did she commit suicide? Because you fell in love with someone else?"

"Hehe." Qi Yue shook his head with a wry smile. "I don't know, she said she couldn't bear the sudden death of her father, but I don't believe it."

The dishes were being served, so Tang Susu didn't ask any further. The food tasted very good. Although the amount wasn't much, it was enough for two people.

After eating about 70% full, they suddenly heard someone talking outside. "Miss, there are guests here. If you want to eat, please make an appointment in advance."

"Get out of the way, I'm looking for someone."

It was a man and a woman talking. The man was probably the waiter in the shop.

As for the woman…

Tang Susu glanced at Qi Yue. He stood up with some embarrassment, opened the closed door, stood at the door and called softly to the woman outside, "Qingqing, why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, what were you going to do after dinner?"

Although she was using Huang Xiaoxiao's body, her tone of voice was different from Huang Xiaoxiao's. She spoke very fast and seemed to have a bad temper and was impatient.

"Don't talk nonsense, I broke a valuable item belonging to Miss Tang, and I'm discussing compensation." He lowered his voice and explained to Dong Qing.

But Dong Qing didn't seem to believe it. She pushed Qi Yue away, who was blocking her, and walked into the small hall aggressively.

Then, she stopped abruptly at the door.

Tang Susu turned her head to look at the girl who occupied Huang Xiaoxiao's body. From her eyes, one could easily see her difference. Maybe it was because her soul was forever stuck at the age of a teenager, and those eyes had not yet been stained with worldly filth.

But it was by no means crystal clear, there was something hidden in her eyes.

Dong Qing's expression changed from anger to panic. She took two steps back, then turned and ran away in a hurry, not even Qi Yue's shouts could stop her.

"Miss Tang, I…" Qi Yue hesitated for a moment, glanced in the direction Dong Qing ran away, turned his head and said to Tang Susu with some embarrassment.

Tang Susu waved her hand. "Go find her, I'll go back by myself after eating."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, just explain it well, she's still young."

Seeing that Tang Susu really didn't seem to mind, Qi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly chased in the direction Dong Qing left.
