Chapter 631: Let Me Team Up with Myself

Su Huiqing took a sip of tea and said mildly, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Madam. However, if you do this, I am afraid that my boyfriend will come, and your island will not have peace."

The smile on Madam Dugu's lips froze. "Niece, you are wrong. Our Dugu Family is such a family. How can he come here just like that? But... do you really have a boyfriend? Where is he from? What does he do?"

Upon hearing Madam Dugu's words, Dugu Shuang couldn't help but look up at Su Huiqing.

Obviously, she was also more curious about this 'boyfriend'.

"I know him from the International Association. He is also here overseas now, but he is rather busy and doesn't have time to come out." Su Huiqing reached out and picked up a plate of cake with a faint smile.

Upon hearing her answer, both mother and daughter let go of their curiosity.

In their hearts, they naturally understood that Su Huiqing's boyfriend was from the International Association. What big shot could there be in the International Association? They probably relied on Dugu Heng to come overseas. Now that Dugu Heng was also busy with a mission, he must be one of Dugu Heng's subordinates.

The mother-daughter duo didn't look down on others so easily. However, when they heard Su Huiqing's words, they couldn't help but shake their heads. They didn't even have the mood to negotiate with Su Huiqing.

After eating that plate of pastries as if she had never eaten in her life, Su Huiqing left... and then Dugu Shuang stood up. "Tell Dad that there's no need to rope Su Huiqing in. If we have the time, we might as well interact more with Dugu Jiyun. That way, Dugu Ji-An might be able to stand on our side."

Madam Dugu obviously had the same thought. She left after speaking to Dugu Shuang.

Su Huiqing left the tea house and took out a piece of tissue from her pocket. She carefully wiped the place where Madam Dugu's hand touched her just now. In the end, she squeezed the tissue and threw it into a nearby trash can.

She then slowly walked forward.

Not long after she left, a white-bearded old man appeared far behind her. He was somewhat puzzled. "That was Miss Su just now."

"Yes, Seventh Elder," the person beside him answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the seventh elder couldn't help but look meaningfully at her back view before leaving.

He didn't go anywhere else and returned to the Elder Cabinet. When he arrived, he saw the first elder sitting on the main seat in anger.

"First Elder, what happened?" Seventh Elder couldn't help but look up.

The first elder's expression softened when he saw the seventh elder. "It's all because of that Intelligence Agency. They actually told us that they won't sell the land in the south no matter how much we spend!"

The seventh elder frowned. "You didn't offend them, right?"

"How would I dare to offend them?" The first elder sighed. "I still have to request for Miss. I heard that the Intelligence Agency has some ties with the Hua Family. Doesn't Young Master Hua know Miss Shuang'er? Who can send someone to communicate with Miss Shuang'er?"

The person sitting at the meeting table hurriedly agreed. After saying this, the first elder suddenly thought of something. "Seventh Elder, you actually sent someone to install a wireless Internet for Miss Su? She's ignorant and has lost her will to play, and you are fooling around?"
