Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 52

With Qi Huaizhi speaking on her behalf, Su Yu encountered no obstacles at Huaiyu Technology.

For three consecutive days, her schedule was so predictable that she could guess it with her eyes closed—

Home—Qi Huaizhi’s company—Tea in the lounge—Lunch in Qi Huaizhi’s office—Being mocked by cold, sarcastic remarks—Being kicked out.

Su Yu almost vomited from drinking the tea in the lounge.

She helplessly told the receptionist, “Can we have something different? It’s the same thing every day. Does your company not have the budget for anything else?”

The receptionist awkwardly responded: “We also have coffee, would you like some?”

Somehow, this comment reached Qi Huaizhi’s ears.

He sneered: “She should be grateful she has anything to drink. What right does she have to be picky? Can’t afford it? What a joke. Huaiyu’s money could buy the Su family three times over.”

The next day, Su Yu was surprised to find that the lounge had switched its offerings to milk, juice, and milk tea.

Sipping the hot milk tea, Su Yu happily squinted her eyes.

【Milk tea is the best.】

The system gently reminded her, 【Host, don’t forget why we’re here.】

Of course, Su Yu hadn’t forgotten.

【Is the female lead definitely coming back from her business trip today?】

【That’s right!】

Su Yu nodded, biting on the straw, her eyes lowered in thought, staring blankly at the opposite wall without blinking.

At that moment, if someone had looked behind Qi Huaizhi’s desk, they’d see that his computer wasn’t displaying any complex company documents at all—it was showing a young girl drinking milk tea.

Qi Huaizhi had installed surveillance in the lounge, linked directly to his computer.

The mighty image of the CEO was utterly shattered.

Suddenly, a phone ringing interrupted Su Yu’s thoughts.

When she saw the caller ID, she hesitated for a moment but picked up.

“Hello? Jingyu, what’s wrong?”

Su Jingyu sounded anxious: “Sister, did you go to see Qi Huaizhi?”

“I… No, I’m just out shopping,” Su Yu replied, pretending to be relaxed.

“Don’t lie to me. Zhang San said he saw you, saw you walking into Qi Huaizhi’s Huaiyu Technology.”

Su Jingyu felt heartbroken. It was all his fault for being incompetent and unable to solve the family’s crisis, making his sister worry right after returning to the country.

“Sister, come back. Don’t beg him.”

“If there’s a problem, we’ll figure it out together. Don’t bear this burden alone. Qi Huaizhi has always held a grudge against our family. Begging him won’t work, and I can’t watch you suffer in the past.”

Su Yu took a deep breath: “Then what do you suggest?”

Su Jingyu was at a loss for words.

“What can we do? What else can I do if I don’t beg Qi Huaizhi? Should we just watch as our family collapses into bankruptcy?”

Su Jingyu wanted to say it wasn’t that bad, but when he thought about everything that had happened recently, the words stuck in his throat.

“Alright, I’m hanging up.”

The busy tone echoed in Su Jingyu’s ears.

He stood frozen in place, clenching his fists, biting his lip, unable to hold back, finally punching the wall.

It was all his fault for being useless, for being unable to protect his sister.

Who would have thought that the ordinary college student he could easily manipulate five years ago would grow to such heights today?

If only he had known earlier…

He should have destroyed him when he had the chance!

Su Yu’s eyes grew dark. It seemed as though she was speaking to Su Jingyu, yet also warning herself, muttering: “I’ve worked too hard for everything I have now. If the Su family goes bankrupt, I’ll return to having nothing. No way! I’d rather die!”

Su Yu glanced at the expensive luxury items she was wearing, and she couldn’t help but remember the university days when she had to rely on Qi Huaizhi just to barely make it through.

“It’s just repeating something I’ve already done. As long as it achieves my goal, it’s no big deal.”

Qi Huaizhi took in all of this silently.

His gaze grew chilling, making the subordinate reporting to him shiver in fear.

The subordinate stammered: “Boss Qi, I’ve finished my report…”

Qi Huaizhi barely managed to pull his eyes away from the computer screen, glancing at the project proposal in front of him, his anger slightly subdued.

“Not bad, but these two areas need improvement…” Despite the cold aura around him, Qi Huaizhi patiently pointed out the shortcomings. “… That’s it for now. Go make those changes.”

Once the subordinate left, silence returned to the office.

Silence.

The only sound remaining was Su Yu’s voice from the surveillance footage.

Qi Huaizhi felt foolish. How could he have expected a woman as selfish as her to ever show a genuine emotion of sincerity?

Whether it was helping the Su family or coming to beg him, she had always acted for herself, solely to preserve her current luxurious lifestyle.

For that, she was willing to pay any price.

Even the most humiliating demands.

Qi Huaizhi suddenly felt cold inside.

Whether five years ago or five years later, Su Yu had never changed.

How ridiculous that he’d once thought she had changed, even giving rise to a fleeting, self-loathing illusion.

It was mealtime again, and Su Yu naturally walked into Qi Huaizhi’s office.

It was as if she’d turned the place into her personal restaurant.

However, today was different—Qi Huaizhi wasn’t there.

In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would be present while she ate.

Of course, only to mock her more effectively.

The food on the table was still steaming, but Su Yu didn’t immediately sit down. Instead, she surveyed the entire office to confirm that Qi Huaizhi was really gone.

Her eyes swept over the bookshelf, then abruptly turned back and froze.

On the top shelf was a book that stood out, unlike the rest of the finance-related titles—a literary anthology, its spine worn from frequent handling.

It seemed to be the book Su Yu had once given Qi Huaizhi.

Su Yu swallowed hard. 【He kept that book to remind himself daily of my past wrongs, not out of nostalgia, right?】

The system hesitated. 【Yes… probably?】

Just as the two fell into silence, the sound of sharp high heels echoed outside.

The pace was fast, which easily reminded people of the words “resolute and vigorous”.

The person knocked twice on the door as a formality, then pushed it open directly.

“Huaizhi…”

In Qi Huaizhi’s office, Bai Luo didn’t see him. Instead, she saw a strange woman.

“Who are you?” Bai Luo’s eyes immediately filled with suspicion as she sternly asked.

“This is the CEO’s office. Outsiders are not allowed. If you’ve wandered in by mistake, I suggest you leave quickly. Otherwise, I’ll call security.”

The woman, who had her back to Bai Luo, didn’t speak. After a pause of a few seconds, as if recognizing the familiar voice, she let out a soft chuckle.

In Bai Luo’s wary gaze, the woman slowly turned around.

The moment Bai Luo saw her face, her pupils widened in shock.

“Bai Luo, long time no see.”

She smiled, her voice still as gentle as it had been five years ago.

“Su Yu?!”

“What are you doing here?”

Bai Luo never expected it to be her, much less that she would be in Qi Huaizhi’s office.
