Chapter 340: Happy New Year’s Eve

Su Peizhen was accompanying Luo Meishan and Song Youhe here this time, so Luo Meishan and Song Youhe had made all the arrangements with regards to the itinerary.

It was only when they had arrived at the hot spring resort that Su Peizhen was able to crack a smile.

“I have been to this resort in the past and the environment is rather good.”

Su Peizhen glanced at Qiu Junqiao. The trip originally had nothing to do with Qiu Junqiao, but for reasons unknown to them, she had asked to come along after knowing of their plan.

Because they had to wait for her, they had set off a day later.

However, it became clear to them that Qiu Junqiao, for reasons unknown, kept s.p.a.cing out.

“Junqiao, what’s the matter with you?” Although there was no possibility for Su Peizhen and Qiu Yanbo to be together again, she was still Qiu Junqiao’s longtime friend and concern streaked her face.

“It’s nothing.” Qiu Junqiao was a little irritated. She was really scared out of her wits by Huo Jinyao that day. For two to three days after that, she was not able to recover from the shock.

The sort of near-death experience where one felt as if one was really going to die in the hands of the grim reaper was horrifying.

Despite such a big setback to her, she still could not have her way with Huo Jinyao. This was due to the fact that even Qiu Yanbo had instructed her not to be at odds with Su Qingsang.

These words…these words…are they words that a brother should say to his sister?

Was it not all because of a project? Huo Jinyao had the authority to re-a.s.sign the project to someone else because of Su Qingsang, so why did Qiu Yanbo, as her brother, told her to put up with it?

“If it’s nothing then let’s go to our rooms first. We’ll put our luggage down and take a slow tour around later.”

The entourage had a considerable amount of luggage and Su Peizhen never had much patience. These trivial things used to be taken care of for her by others, but this time, due to being on a trip with fellow privileged ladies, she had to do it herself.

The other women all agreed to her suggestion and retired to their rooms after checking into the resort.

The hot spring resort had two levels. There were only a few rooms, but each one was tastefully designed.

Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping’s room was located at the second level. Their room faced a small garden at the back of the resort. The hot spring area was situated behind the small garden.

Every hot spring pool was fenced up and separated into a men and women area.

“Mother, would you like to rest for a while? If not, we’ll head down to have our meal. We could go to the hot spring pool at night.”

“I don’t need to rest. You must be hungry after the long car ride we had taken this afternoon. Let’s go have some food before having a dip in the hot spring pool.”

“Sure.” Su Qingsang nodded. The roads were good, so even though the car ride was long, she was not really tired.

The duo casually tidied their things and headed downstairs. At the same time, Su Peizhen and her friends had already returned to their rooms.

After Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping had dinner together, they informed their tour guide that they would be going for a dip in the small hot spring pool that had already been reserved for them.

Their surroundings were rather tranquil. All Su Qingsang could hear were the water sounds they made when they moved around in the small pool.

Xiang Caiping gazed at Su Qingsang. She felt that throughout her time here, Su Qingsang looked too thin.

At the moment when mother and daughter were dressed scantily in the hot spring pool, Xiang Caiping realized that her daughter was not thin. She was fleshy in areas that should be fleshy and looked voluptuous.

Fortunately, her daughter did not take after her. She was the typical example of a pet.i.te Southern lady. She was a little thin and not voluptuous.

“Mother, what are you looking at?” Su Qingsang realized that Xiang Caiping was staring at her when she turned around. Even though it was her mother, she was still a little shy from the intense stare.

“It’s nothing,” Xiang Caiping smiled. “We’ve been abroad for a few days now, and Jinyao has been calling you every day. It seems he has not called today, though.”
