Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280 Shared Sufferings

Her brother-in-law’s contributions took up more than half of the effort, and while it might seem like just delivering New Year’s gifts, the actual workload was immense.

With so many people involved, not a single one could be overlooked; missing someone would be terribly embarrassing.

The day they returned from Trinity Village, the sisters began preparing the New Year gift packages, which over the next few days filled an entire room like a small mountain. Another room was piled high with specially customized gift boxes.

The thought alone was headache-inducing.

Su Qing glanced inside, constantly watching for Fifth sister among the crowd, while carefully recalling the studio’s affairs in her mind. The shop and studio had been bustling and did not officially close until yesterday; last night, she had hosted a lively New Year’s party for all the employees at a restaurant.

At the party, everyone received a red envelope, and those who performed outstandingly received additional bonuses.

Because yesterday was so busy, and the scene was quite chaotic, Su Qing habitually checked everything again the next day to prevent any omissions.

“Second sister, what are you thinking about?”

“Oh! I was thinking about the company,” Su Qing said with a furrowed brow, tiredly pinching the bridge of her nose. Since returning from Trinity Village, she had practically been living in the office, barely feeling that it was New Year’s Day already.

Only now was she beginning to feel a bit tired.

“You shouldn’t work too hard either. I’ve noticed you’re getting busier and busier,” Su Xue advised. “I came home for the winter break hoping to spend quality time with all of you, but everyone seems busier than the next.”

“It’s only so busy because it’s the startup phase—it will get better later,” Su Qing reassured with a gentle smile, her eyes shining, “Despite the busyness, it’s worth it.”

Su Xue could see that Second sister really enjoyed her current work, and she had heard Big sister praise Second sister’s talent more than once. Now, all of Su’s designs and new products were created by Second sister.

Just over a month since its opening, Su’s brand had quickly secured a strong foothold in the market. Even from afar in Clear Water County, Su Xue had heard legends about the Su brand. For girls in the county with better conditions, their biggest dream was to own a Su handbag.

Having a Su ‘Love Series’ wedding handbag for marriage was definitely a matter of great prestige.

“I think you’re only going to get busier,” Su Xue said, having been fed dog food by Big sister and brother-in-law so many times during her stay that she had come to a clear understanding. “Big sister is having a baby, and you’re the only one left to handle the company. Once the baby is born, you’re going to be even busier.”

Su Qing: “…”

Why does that sound somewhat dangerous?

“I’ll tell you a secret.”

“Go ahead.”

“I heard Big sister and brother-in-law discussing that once the baby is born, they plan to be hands-off managers. Big sister will hand over Su to you, and brother-in-law will leave Changhe to his brother, ha ha… Now you and Big Brother are in the same boat,” Su Xue revealed.

At the mention of Big Brother, Su Qing’s brows furrowed.

“Stay away from Zhou Hengguang in the future, he’s not a good person,” Su Qing warned seriously. “Be careful not to be tricked.”

“No way! I think Big Brother is a nice person.”

Su Qing snorted coldly and said bluntly, “Fourth sister, I know you’re smart, smarter than me, your Second sister. You don’t need me to remind you of certain things.” Had it been anyone else, she would have elaborated, but with Su Xue, it was truly unnecessary.

Among the seven sisters, she was the only one who didn’t need things spelled out for her.

A flash of sorrow quickly passed through Su Xue’s eyes, “Second sister, do you really think I’m smarter than you?”

“Of course!”

“Then why am I the most ridiculous one in the family?”

Su Qing’s expression stiffened, and as she turned to glance at her sister, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Fifth sister briskly exiting with a large suitcase in tow. Su Qing’s attention immediately shifted to Su Jun, as she waved excitedly toward her.

“Fifth sister, over here.”
