Chapter 312 Unease
Chapter 312 Unease
After hanging up the phone, I felt a vague sense of unease.
What a coincidence, Su Ming is his brother?
Fan Shuiguang's surname is Fan, so how could he be related to the Su family by blood? I still can't figure it out.
"By the way, it's Little Sweetie's turn to come over and help me with my live stream today."
There's still a month until the baby's birth, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Right now, I need to hurry up and get Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship so that I can get closer to my goal of starting a company.
"We're almost at Sister Mo's house. The weather outside isn't too good today," Little Sweetie muttered.
"Hey, Sister Mo."
When I checked my phone, it was Sweetie calling.
"What's wrong? Sisi prepared everything last time, so you don't need to bring anything if you come. I don't know if she told you."
"Okay, I'll give her a call later, so I can clarify things with Fan Shuiguang first."
After giving Little Sweetie the instructions, I immediately asked Sisi to investigate the relationship between Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang. They appear to be siblings, but I don't know what their true relationship is.
"Sister Mo." Little Sweetie's voice came from behind my ear.
I quickly took the few things from Little Sweetie's hands.
"We'll only broadcast for 3 hours today. We need to use the remaining time to video chat with Sisi to get some updates."
"Okay, Sister Mo."
Little Sweetie quickly tidied up and continued her live stream.
The popularity of jadeite remains undiminished, so I made sure to capitalize on this momentum during my live stream.
"Momo, which one offers better value for money?"
"Support the streamer."
Looking at the constant stream of messages on the public chat, I feel that hard work will definitely pay off.
Time passed slowly, and soon, Sweetie and I finally finished our work for the day.
"Sisi, how are things going on your end?"
I leaned back in my chair, and before I'd even rested for a few minutes, I immediately contacted Xu Sisi.
“We are already investigating, but there has been no new progress, and there are no other reports from the outside world.”
Hearing this, I frowned, wondering if I could weather this sudden crisis.
After a moment of silence, Little Sweetie said, "It's okay. We can't find anything now, but what if we suddenly get a clue later?"
"I hope so," came Xu Sisi's helpless voice from the other end of the phone.
"Then Sisi, you keep checking. Just let me know if you find anything."
All I heard was Sisi's "okay," and Little Sweetie and I started thinking of other solutions in the room.
"Do you think Qin Yu might know anything?"
Qin Yu, right, how could I have almost forgotten about him? His connections here are probably second to none. Even though Zhou Yang and the others made things difficult for him, he still managed to find out about the recent international conference events, so he must know more or less about them.
Just then, Jiang Yichen called.
It turns out that Jiang Yichen had already sent many messages, but he hadn't seen them because he was at work.
For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
"Hey!"
I answered the phone hesitantly and spoke first, but the other end didn't immediately ask me anything.
"You still know to answer the phone? Do you know how worried I was about you? You're pregnant now, no matter how much you work, don't forget to rest!"
I paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'm resting now. The doctor who's coming to check on me will be here soon."
Speaking of this, I can't help but think of what the doctor said last time: it would be better for me to stay in the hospital for observation. I wonder if Jiang Yichen knows about this.
So he tentatively said, "The doctor comes every day and says I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me."
"Of course! With me taking such professional care of her, my wife is naturally healthy."
After chatting for a short while, I made up an excuse and hung up.
At this moment, Little Sweetie said with envy, "As expected of Madam Shi, tsk tsk tsk, if I were like that in the future, I would be so happy that I would not need to work."
Work? Jiang Yichen has indeed helped me a lot to get to where I am today, and I was also depressed for a while. Now that he's like this... Thinking of this, I'm going to treat him to a good meal today.
"But then again, what do we do now?"
Sweetie quickly brought me back to reality.
"Ask Qin Yu. We don't want Jiang Yichen to know yet, since he's quite busy right now after dealing with Zhou Yang's matter."
Little Sweetie agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "That's true."
Contact me now!
After I finished speaking, I sent a message to Qin Yu, asking him about Fan Shuiguang, whom I had met last time, and about her brother Su Ming, whom I had recently heard her talk about.
Not long after, Qin Yu called.
"I just saw your message." Qin Yu's voice was as calm as ever. "I have indeed heard some rumors about Fan Shuiguang and Su Ming."
"What do you know?" I asked impatiently.
“Although Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang are cousins, their relationship has always been tense,” Qin Yu explained. “Su Ming has recently been secretly investigating Fan Shuiguang’s finances, seemingly trying to find something to use against him. Fan Shuiguang’s sudden offer to sponsor you may also be an attempt to divert Su Ming’s attention.”
I frowned, a vague unease creeping into my heart. "So you mean, Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship isn't entirely innocent?"
“Very likely.” Qin Yu paused, then continued, “Su Ming is a very shrewd person. Since he has his eye on Fan Shuiguang, he certainly won’t let go easily. If you accept Fan Shuiguang’s sponsorship, you’ll likely be drawn into their struggle.”
I remained silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in my mind. Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship was indeed very important to me, but if it caused unnecessary trouble, it would be a loss.
"Then what should I do?" I asked.
"Don't accept Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship for now," Qin Yu suggested. "You can observe for a while and see how far the struggle between Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang will develop. At the same time, you can look for other sponsorship channels to avoid placing all your hopes on Fan Shuiguang."
I nodded, agreeing with Qin Yu's suggestion. "Okay, I'll consider it. Thank you, Qin Yu."
"You're too kind." Qin Yu smiled. "But Momo, you should be careful. Su Ming is not a simple person. If he thinks you're in his way, he might do something bad to you."
"Then what should I do?" I asked, a hint of unease in my voice.
"Don't accept Fan Shuiguang's sponsorship for now," Qin Yu suggested, his tone calm and collected. "You can observe for a while and see how far the struggle between Su Ming and Fan Shuiguang will develop. At the same time, you can look for other sponsorship channels to avoid placing all your hopes on Fan Shuiguang."
