Every word those women said was like a sharp knife that pierced Su Xiaoning's heart.
Her hand holding the water cup started trembling slightly.
Originally, she was very happy and excited to think that having a husband who could do business was great!
But she never thought that someone would say this behind her back.
But... what they said seems right too.
Since she became the CEO of the So family group, she actually did nothing for the So family group.
Not only has she never done anything, but even last night when Mo Chenyu was discussing that important business, she was still busy with her own affairs.
But after he succeeded, she was at peace here, enjoying others' praise and the fruits of his labor.
She... seems to be quite useless indeed.
"Su... Director Su!"
Someone bumped into her and opened his mouth in surprise.
The tea house fell silent in an instant.
Su Xiaoning nodded at that person and then walked towards the tea room.
Those women who were just gossiping about Su Xiaoning were standing there quietly looking at her.
These women exude a petty-bourgeois air in everything from their dress and grooming to their behavior.
Compared with Su Xiao Ning's body, this kind of rustic feeling is worlds apart.
Su Xiaoning went to get hot water and adjusted warm water under the gaze of these women.
In their mouths, she is Su Zong.
But Su Xiaoning couldn't help but feel a hint of inferiority when facing them.
She and they, differ too much.
The little woman returned to the conference room with a sulky face.
At that time, Mo Chenyu had already arranged everything that needed attention recently and was waiting for her return to reward the employees who made contributions last night.
He handed her a list of employees. "Next, let our General Manager Su read out the list of employees who will receive a pay raise at the end of this month."
After the man's low voice fell, a thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.
Su Xiaoning inexplicably felt that the list in her hand was a bit hot to handle.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd in the conference room, finally handing the list back to Mo Chenyuan with some disappointment.
The girl's voice was tinged with a hint of defeat and self-mockery, "I don't have the qualifications to give anyone any rewards."
"Let Mo read it instead."
She turned around and left the conference room with a sour nose.
Before today, she always thought that she and Mo Chenyuan were husband and wife, hers was his, his was hers.
So she never thought about whether she was worthy of this question or not.
She had just heard what those women said, and she felt...she was indeed quite unworthy.
The meeting room fell silent.
Mo Chen furrowed his brow and threw the list at Jiang Damin, chasing after Su Xiaoning in the direction she had left.
The little girl ran up to the rooftop.
The wind on the rooftop was strong, puffing out her loose white T-shirt and blowing her long black hair into disarray.
Mo Chenyuan wheeled himself onto the rooftop just as she was standing with her back to him, shouting something into the strong wind.
He didn't quite catch what she was shouting, but he did hear four words: "I'm so useless".
She actually thinks she's useless.
Little Lemon
The low voice of the man behind her made Su Xiaoning's whole body tremble violently as she was venting her emotions.
She turned around, her eyes red as she stared at him, "How did you get up to the rooftop?"
His eyes can't see, and the protective measures on the rooftop are not solid enough. What if he accidentally bumps into something and falls off?
Thinking of this, she sniffled and hastily ran over to pull his wheelchair towards the elevator, "You can't come here, hurry back!"
He stretched out his long fingers and grasped hers, "You can come, why can't I?"
"You and I are different!"
Su Xiao Ning pursed her lips, "I can see it, you can't! It's very dangerous here!"
"Knowing the danger, you should be with me even more."
Mo Chen raised his head slightly, feeling the wind on the rooftop. "It's been a long time since I've blown wind in such a high place."
Su Xiao Ning's hand, which was pulling him back, hesitated for a moment.
She puckered her lips, "Husband, you... want to blow wind here?"
Mo Chen nodded, "You have to stay with me."
"My eyes can't see, you are my eyes."
Su Xiao Ning's body suddenly stiffened.
After a while, she lowered her head somewhat despondently and said, "Actually, Not Speaking is more suitable than me."
"He is very capable, not only can he be your eyes, but also protect you..."
"I..."
"In my eyes, no one can compare to you."
Mo Chen's domain smiled faintly, grasping her hand on his wheelchair, "Little Lemon, do you know how many controversies and discussions I've had since childhood?"
Su Xiao Ning pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
She actually knew it.
Even ordinary people can say unlucky things in front of him, let alone others...
A low and melancholic voice floated in the wind, "Some people say I am a shooting star."
Su Xiao Ning shook her head, "I know you're not."
"I'm doing great as long as I'm by your side!"
He smiled faintly and said, "Some people say I'm unlucky."
"Some people say I don't deserve the surname Mo."
"Some people say I should be on my own and leave Mohism."
"Some people say I'd be better off dead than living like this."
He smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes hidden behind black silk making him look mysterious and desolate. "Tell me," he said, "whose advice should I take?"
Su Xiao Ning shook her head fiercely, "They're all trying to bring you down, you can't listen or believe them!"
She even shook his hand excitedly, "Husband, don't listen to what others say, being happy yourself is the most important thing!"
Mo Chenyuan smiled, "Don't listen to what others say, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters?"
"Hmm!"
The man raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, holding her, "Then what were you sad about just now?"
Su Xiao Ning's whole body shook violently, "I..."
"He originally went out with a happy face to get me water, but when he came back, he didn't even want to read the list of people who were getting raises."
He raised his hand and pinched her soft and tender little face, "Let me guess, what has my little wife been through?"
"It must be someone who heard it."
He deliberately imitated the sarcastic tone of those women, "What makes her qualified to be the CEO? She doesn't know anything and only relies on her husband."
"She actually dares to come here and hold a meeting relying on men, what a shameless thing to do."
Everything he said is right.
Su Xiao Ning's face turned red and then white, finally being teased into a smile by his tone.
She somewhat embarrassingly raised her hand to encircle his neck, lifted those bright big eyes to look at him, "Husband, how do you know everything?"
"Because I am your husband."
He pecked her on the lips, "Don't be a person who doubts yourself just because others gossip, okay?"
She looked down in embarrassment, "But I really think I'm... useless in this aspect."
"It's enough if your husband is useful."
He held her tighter in his arms, "I still remember that my little lemon studied cardiac surgery and will become a great surgeon in the future."
"There are priorities in learning the way, and specialties in mastering a skill. Perhaps those who gossip about you will one day be operated on by your skilled hands for heart surgery."
If being warmed by Mo is enough, then please kill me with a silver ticket!
