Charm point maxed out, inheriting game assets

And Luo Bin’s gaze once again fell on Cheng Qiuyu.

He sized her up, keeping his expression neutral.

She really was a top-tier beauty, and her looks and aura were somewhat similar to Su Yu back when she hadn’t yet become a pop diva.

He couldn’t help letting his expression shift ever so slightly.

President Tang’s trip to Rong City to meet with Miss Ouyang was already the focus of everyone’s attention.

Not only was Chairman Jin in faraway New York watching closely, all of their core members were waiting for the outcome of this meeting.

Including Su Yu, who at this moment was in nearby Jiang City.

Just last night, he himself had dinner with Mo Xiangwan and Su Yu.

He really hoped President Tang could properly handle the situation between Miss Ouyang and Su Yu.

Thinking of this, Luo Bin couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.

It had to be said, President Tang simply had too many women.

As the chief legal Consultant of the Tang Jin Family Office, he genuinely didn’t want to get dragged into all these messy Harem battles, but there was just no way to dodge them.

Last time, just for helping Miss Ouyang deliver a gift to Tian Jing, he got summoned to the Imperial City by Chairman Jin for a ”talking-to.”

Now that he’d been caught by Su Yu in Jiang City, he was truly afraid of being forced to pick a side.

So when President Tang’s ”firefighting” call came in this morning, he practically volunteered on the spot, personally leading a team to Rong City.

Using the excuse of helping this Miss Cheng to temporarily pull himself out of the mess.

Sigh...

Walking on thin ice.

...

Jiang City, Film and Television Base.

In the afternoon, the damp air still carried a trace of the mountain city’s mist.

On the film set, a high-intensity confrontation scene had just wrapped.

The fire-hot emotion in Su Yu’s eyes, ignited by the role, faded in an instant, and her gaze returned to calm.

Without lingering on set, she went straight to a nearby private lounge.

”Bang—”

The door slammed shut, cutting off all outside noise.

Su Yu collapsed heavily into the soft sofa and let out a long breath.

Cheng Xiaoxi hurried in after her, setting down a cup of honey pomelo tea at just the right temperature by her hand.

Only then did she report in a low voice: ”Sister Yu, I just got word from President Mo. Lawyer Robin left Jiang City with his team this morning for Rong City.”

”Mm.” Su Yu responded lightly, taking a sip of tea.

Cheng Xiaoxi went on: ”He went on President Tang’s personal commission, to help Songmei Clothing’s designer Cheng Qiuyu and her mother deal with some legal disputes.”

”Cheng Qiuyu...”

Su Yu quietly murmured the name, a faint ripple appearing in her cool amber eyes.

Cheng Xiaoxi immediately caught on, unlocked her phone, and handed it over.

On the screen was a compiled dossier.

Su Yu took the phone and skimmed through the information on Li Meihua’s unfinished-building incident, her gaze tightening.

She of course knew Cheng Qiuyu.

She first noticed her on a fan forum, where she’d posted a support photo with Tang Song. (Chapter 223)

Later, she spotted the same familiar ID on Little Red Book and added her as a WhatsApp contact.

And they’d stayed in touch ever since.

She was a real fan, and a hardcore one at that.

She’d even made plans with her to ”meet offline” in Yan City in the middle of next month.

At the time, the only idea was to plant a ”mole” of her own inside [Songmei Clothing].

She hadn’t expected there to be something unusual about her relationship with Tang Song.

Enough for Tang Song to keep watch on her family troubles from thousands of miles away, even going so far as to send Luo Bin in person.

This kind of treatment... was extremely rare.

It was enough to show that Tang Song’s feelings for her were anything but ordinary.

Her gaze then dropped back to the dossier, landing on the photo of Cheng Qiuyu in a purple support shirt, and she went slightly dazed.

Noticing where she was looking, Cheng Xiaoxi murmured: ”Sister Yu, this Qiuyu isn’t just your die-hard fan, she also looks pretty similar to you. More precisely, she looks like you did at twenty, back when you were still in Echo Girl Group—very beautiful.”

Su Yu abruptly snapped her head up, eyes reddening, her voice turning icy: ”What are you implying? That I’m old now? That he’s looking for someone who resembles me to replace me?”

”No! No!” Cheng Xiaoxi blanched in fright and rushed to explain: ”Sister Yu, what I mean is: even three points of resemblance to you is already peerless beauty on earth! You’re much more beautiful than you were then—your aura, your looks, your figure, all better! What I meant is... President Tang might be treating her differently because she looks a bit like you, and that reminds him of all the good memories between you two. And that’s not even counting the you who stands here now!”

The manic look in Su Yu’s eyes slowly ebbed. She lowered her gaze, sinking into thought.

He likes Cheng Qiuyu... because she resembles the me from back then?

Is that it?

Just then.

”Dingdong—” The WhatsApp notification sounded.

{Sister Xiang Wan: ”President Tang has arrived in Rong City. Miss Ouyang is picking him up at the airport. Don’t worry about the new Fund and Tangzong Entertainment, Miss Ouyang will handle it.”}

Su Yu pressed her lips together and replied with just a single ”Mm,” then fell into deeper silence.

The news that Jin Meixiao was about to take over as head of the Tang Jin Family Office Pan-entertainment Fund, and that next month Tang Song would personally fly to New York to meet that woman...

All of this had loaded her with unprecedented pressure, leaving her emotions extremely unstable lately.

Which was why she’d almost lost control just now over a single sentence from Cheng Xiaoxi.

Next month... is her birthday...

Tang Song seeing Jin Meixiao first, would that...
