Ceo’s Fierce Lady Immortal - Chapter 273
When Su Ci Yi handed her resignation letter, Ling Mo frown. At first, he just nonchalantly hire this woman because he thought that something interesting might happen in her company. It turned out that what he was expecting turned out to be overly dramatic. Lia had been admitted to the hospital, and the set was attacked by an unknown group and in which Ling Mo was still left in the dark.
Just when his curiosity was triggered, Su Ci Yi will resign.
“I won’t accept it.” Ling Mo stubbornly refused. There are still things that still left in the dark, if she will be gone, his curiosity will just be buried into the pile of darkness in his subconsciousness.
” I can’t go back next week.” Su Ci Yi explained briefly. Since the set is rescheduled, the shooting will resume sometime next week from Monday to Friday. Su Ci Yi had long forgotten when was it.
“Is there something you need to do?”
“I’m going somewhere…”
“Fine, I’ll let you on vacation first. Be sure to be back after you settled your thing there.”
Ling Mo was set to drag her by his side. Although Ling Mo treated her like this, there isn’t any underlying motive behind it. Ling Mo isn’t romantically attracted or finds her interesting at all. Ling Mo had a high regard for appearances and Su Ci Yi surely lacks in that department. Although she was someone that won’t be cl.u.s.tered to those who are ugly, she isn’t the type of beauty that would really attract men.
However, what was intriguing was her company.
“The set will be finished when I came back.”
“It’s alright. I’ll still hire you as my personal assistant by then.”

Strolling over to the counter of the City’s biggest shopping mall, Su Ming stood as she waited for her turn to pay for her shopping bags and groceries. Since it was hectic a few weeks ago in the company, now was her only time to relieve her stress.
It’s been part of her stress reliever to shop personally into the mall. It was their habitual routine whenever they were bored and had nothing to do since Su Ci Yi was still alive.
When she died, Su Ming retained her habits, but this time, she was alone.
From time to time, Baronette was with her, but it seemed that today she was not in the mood. She’s not even answering her phonecalls whenever she tried to call her.
As the long line of shoppers progressed, Su Ming was tap into the shoulder by someone. She turned around at the back to see the person. Only to find a petite custom dress woman wearing simple jeans and a v-neck T-shirt. Even though the get-up was simple yet, the brand wasn’t common.
Even the bag the woman was wearing was a limited edition that had just gone to the market last week.
“May I ask who you are?”
The woman who tapped her didn’t feel off but rather smile at her. ” It”s Chua Ting, Miss Ming. Did you already forget about me? We met a few months ago together with Miss Benefactor, and we’ve been introduced to each other. I hope my actions didn’t offend you at all. Ah, as I can see, your sister is not with you? Please do me a favor and send my regards to her. I haven’t been in contact with her lately.”
Su Ming raised her eyebrows.
What was this girl saying? Why is she…
Behind Chua Ting is a tall and leaned man wearing dark glasses. His lanky and slim appearance caught attention to the people. However, no matter how they inch over to see his face, it was fully covered in a scarf.
Chua Ting then tugged the sleeve of the man and whispered something to him.
Su Ming remained thinking in her stead. Why was this feeling so familiar? The woman in front of her felt no stranger at all, yet why can’t she remember her? This is not the first time that someone suggested Su Ci Yi isn’t dead at all. Su Ming, for the very first time, felt that something was off.
From the very beginning, something is stirring inside her that she can’t just point out.
“I am sorry Miss. But my sister had just died a long time ago…”
Su Ming wasn’t able to finish her sentence when she was looked in a weird way by the people. The man beside Chua Ting snorted.
“Are you sure she is her sister? It seems that they are not that close enough.”
Chua Ting pinched Ling Mo’s waist. “Hush! They are that close. I’ve met them just a few months ago.”
“Then why doesn’t she know that Su Ci Yi was working with me. And she even told that she had died. Is she jinxing her?”
Chua Ting was also baffled by the strange response of Su Ming. Nevertheless, she just withdrew herself. If there was something going on between the sisters, Chua Ting is an outsider and a stranger of it.
Chua Ting bade her goodbyes to Su Ming and went out together with Ling Mo.
Su Ming could only look at the back of the two. Her deep eyes glued with a profound and baffled looked.
Fragments…
Shards of memories flew by into her mind,
They were just like glimpses, yet the content was the only person that made her emotions stirred.
Slowly,
Like a 1990s black and white filmstrip, being played into her mind.
Though blurry yet fully rich and nostalgic.
POOF!
There was a red thread of line that snapped out on Su Ming’s front, yet the latter didn’t notice it. It was invisible to the mortal eyes yet too notable to the person of the other realm.
However, that issue wasn’t like that.
Su Ming staggered in her position. Her usual gloomy eyes and tired aura redeem their natural glow. Her profound and deep look was replaced with a bright light of hope. Slowly, with her wobbled steps, grasped the back of the disappearing people.
In the end, she was able to reach them.
Chua Ting turn around just to see her sleeve was tug.
She looked at Su Ming who had a pale face yet gleamed of brightness.
Su Ming snapped on her previous daze and shouted in desperation to Chua Ting,
“Tell me, d-do you know where my sister is? Listen, you may not believe me, but something unusual happened and I need to find her immediately!”
Chua Ting could only shrug her head. She too didn’t know her whereabouts…
“She already left.” Ling Mo butted in, knowing he knew her whereabouts, ” Probably, you won’t be able to chase her now.”
