Ceo’s Fierce Lady Immortal - Chapter 231

Su Ming’s headache subsided little by little and it only took her minutes until the pain had gone. She took the time to compose herself and looked at her secretary on the side.

Baronette seated on the table while making her own tea, her posture was relaxed since she frequent’s on Su Ming’s office.

Su Ming had no qualms on Baronette making her office her leisure quarters, she had been grateful to her that she assisted her with the matters of the company.

” Secretary Kim, it’s my negligence that you haven’t been given enough proper treatment. My apologies, if you had said earlier that you need a rest, I will not selfishly turn down your request. You don’t need to weave lies in front of me. Seriously. This is totally unexpected from your attitude. ”

The poor secretary was confused as she exchanged doubtful stare from Baronette and Su Ming.

“Madam…what are you talking about? I didn’t bump my head and didn’t go to the hospital. In fact, your sister is well alive. I-I have her contact here, I’ll call her immediately to pacify this confusion…”

Baronette’s malevolent eyes flashed swiftly. Then she glared at the secretary.

“Ah!”

The phone she was holding suddenly burnt to ashes. Horror strike the person who was holding it and went pale.

” Ms. Kim… no wonder your head injury gets worse. You didn’t go to the hospital? You should have visited it, even mild injury on the brain is lethal.”

Baronette stood up, walked towards her and whisper on her ear in a frequency that only the two of them would understand,

After hearing it, the secretary froze.

In a span of a millisecond, her face overturned from pallid to emotionless. She obediently nodded her head to Baronette and silently went out of the room.

This phase of event didn’t enter Su Ming’s line of sight. Her head was down from this moment, supporting her head from falling. Her gaze was on the paper that hadn’t been finished because of her sudden head pain.

This was favorable on Baronette’s side. As soon as she had taken care of the woman, Baronette smirk, and went back to her seat. Enjoying her Jasmin tea paired with vanilla cookies.

“Ms. Baronette? May I ask why did you come here for?”

Su Ming asked. Her head pain subsided now and she was feeling okay.

” I got a little worried. You said you’re having frequent headaches lately? Is it still recurring until now? How often? You should have called a doctor for early detection of any disease that might be connected to your pain.”

Su Ming smiled. It’s good to know at least even a stranger worries about her.

“Nah, it’s unnecessary. It’s still not that severe. Anyway, I will trouble you again to deliver the invitations to your colleagues. The company’s foundation event is approaching. I want to take this chance to expand my circle to bring this company to the next level.”

The business world is not only about profits and skills. In order not to be pushed out by the incoming giant businesses, Su Ming might need to explore and extend her circle of friends. Influence is a great skill that will save their company from being obsolete in the future.

“Of course, I’ll invite those within my reach. It’s not a problem.”

“Thank you. This firm won’t thrive if not for you. This debt, I will surely return my gratitude in the future.”

Baronette smirk.

“It’s unnecessary. I felt that our connection brings back from our past life. We might be best of friends or sister’s back then.”

“You really believe in past life don’t you?”

” What is the genuine truth behind the forgotten memories, a person believes the credentials of what he perceives, and neglect the unforeseen. That’s the way of life.”

Su Ming laughed at her childish fantastical views. ” If there’s really a past life, I bet you are a guardian deity or an angel. You’ve been kind to me. Even to the point of assisting everything here and I’m grateful for that.”

Baronette seated upright. She lifted her left foot and placed it on top of her right.

” When I was young, I dreamed of big palaces. People in white garments both overflowing in beauty and virtues. Landscapes that hang on the air; creatures, and beast harmoniously cohabiting with each other. Ah, such a life! I shouldn’t have woken up back then.”

Su Ming saw the women in trance and her face as if she was in her own world. This is the first time Baronette talk such trivial matters such as her life. Because she was used to Baronette’s quickwittedness in their company dealings, that she thought her level is unattainable.

She thought this person is out of reach and Baronette is out of her circle. But hearing her trivial experiences and her flaws as a person, she felt a little closure to her heart.

.

Su Ci Yi passed her time on Mai’s residence.

Mai’s parents were trying to curry favor for her and reduced the animosity between them and Qin Yu’s parents. Just last few days, because of Mai’s hyperactivity, Su Ci Yi underwent a dangerous situation.

The couple blamed their daughter for it and thought this will rift their relationship to the Qin, so when Su Ci Yi came to them, they were overly polite and cautious.

Though she felt that their feeling of guilt is unjustified. Because at that time, that person will surely attack Su Ci Yi regardless of the place. So going to the forest is already a blessing in disguise that saved a lot of lives and reduced damages on properties on the Island.

Right now, Su Ci Yi was supervising Mai’s practice exercise.

She also learned that Mai’s attribute is wind type. How did she know it? It’s just hunch.

Mai had a spiritual root. And her ability is compatible with the wind.

Right now, she only needed to develop her cultivation core and continue to persevere.

Su Ci Yi, herself, is still at the foundation stage of cultivation.

She concluded that upgrading to the next level is really a difficult feat in this mortal world. It was already known that the spiritual energy in this world is limited, and when she needed to cultivate, she always has a hard time finding the right place.

Back then, the sect has a spiritual cave that inhibits metric tons of spiritual energies, and a large influx of cultivators who wanted a long run meditation would go there. If there’s a place like that, then Su Ci Yi could go and enter seclusion for a year.

To be frank, Su Ci Yi already planned for Mai to be the guardian and guard of Su Ming. That was the reason she was honing her strength and ability. Su Ci Yi had always been away and she didn’t want her to be in danger in cases where she is not by her side. Now that Baronette – that woman, in which she didn’t knew the motive behind her actions was a threat that she shouldn’t belittle.

Baronette is not a simple woman.

With ability more than hers.

Her animosity with her is unfounded.

Whenever they face each other, she could still feel the grievance and her hatred towards her.

The original owner of this body didn’t have any memories of Baronette. Nor Su Ci Yi at her sect knew her. So the odds pinpoint that she came from different scale of time.

With her ability, its no wonder if she’s old enough to even experience world war II in this world; or she might even be older than those tragic incidents.

Su Ci Yi stayed at Mai’s house until noon.

The couple was very warm and even invite her to eat lunch which the later accepted. She already informed Qin Ting beforehand that she will stay here.

The latter will not search for her, if her presence is missing on the lunch table.

Lunch passed and afternoon came.

Idling under the shade of the tree beneath Mai’s home. Lazily leaning under the cozy environment, a flying object hurled towards her.

She swiftly jumped up on the air and evades the foreign thing.

When she looked, it turns out that it was an ebony-colored firewood ax. It was thrown with a deliberate force that its sharp edge cut almost two inches of the trunk.

‘Shit! Who’s mongrel dared to pick a fight against her!’ Su Ci Yi will not back off at him.

Mudo – Mai’s brother appeared out of nowhere. The timing of his appearance clearly proved that this is intentional yet he appeared innocent.

“So this is where my ax flew? Sorry Mrs. Qin, my hand slipped while chopping wood and when I follow the trail the weapon, I saw it hurled here. Not knowing you are under the tree.”

Su Ci Yi’s action was swift. She tried to dig out the ax pinning on the tree. But when she pulled it, it slipped out of her grasped and flew in the air.

It almost grazed Mudo’s cheeks from the distance.

She looked at the man and blink innocently while scratching the back of her head, ” Sorry, it slipped on my hand and I didn’t know it would fly where you stand.”

Mudo, “…”
