Chapter 114: Making Things Difficult, Counterattack

  Su Mo listened to Ning Xinyang's words and turned her head to look at her, "I have something on today, so I'm afraid I won't have time..."

  She directly interrupted Su Mo's words, although she knew it was very rude, but still cut her off. During this period of time, she had been trying to get her sister back home as soon as possible. Her grandparents missed her so much and the whole family was expecting her return. But she kept avoiding it again and again, which made Ning Xinyang a bit annoyed. "You don't need to say anything else, I know. You can take your time, I have something to do first, I'll leave now. I'll be back on schedule tomorrow."

  Upon hearing this, Su Mo's face showed a hint of abnormality, but in the end, she still didn't turn her head to look at Ning Xinyang. It wasn't until the sound of the door being slammed shut that she slowly moved her body and tilted her head towards the direction of the door.

  Sumo didn't leave the room all afternoon, locking herself in and reading books for an entire afternoon. At night, she contacted Ji Lan from M country, whom she hadn't been in touch with for a long time, to understand the recent situation of the company. Then she contacted Huiqin again because she had just left, so there were no particularly important things in the company. After finishing these things, she entered the futures market to take a look by herself. It wasn't until 12:30 at night that she rubbed her eyes, washed up and went to bed to rest.

  It's been a long time since I've slept so well, unprecedented relaxation, lying on the bed, and I actually fell asleep until 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

  Fortunately, the friendly match didn't officially start until 10 o'clock. I walked to the side desk and picked up my phone, looking at the five unconnected calls on it. One was from Yang Chongshan, one was from Wang Mingzhi, and there were three more, which were unfamiliar numbers, but I knew they must be people who knew me.

  She quickly finished washing up and dressing in three minutes, opened the door, and saw that ten teammates were already sitting in the living room eating breakfast. As she went downstairs, a pair of eyes turned to Su Mo Ruo at the same time.

  After all, as the team leader, she was late on the first day of the friendly match.

  But Sumojo seemed to be oblivious to these gazes, staring blankly at the crowd with a light and shallow gaze, "Are you done eating?"

  Several teammates were stunned by Su Mo's words, and it took them a while to react. They shook their heads one after another, "Then let's hurry up and eat, and set off after finishing." After saying that, she directly entered the kitchen. The crowd heard some faint noises coming from inside, and fifteen minutes later, she actually came out with a bowl of steaming hot egg drop soup, sat down in an empty chair, with a plate of pickled vegetables beside her, and began eating slowly and elegantly.

  Such a Su Mo made everyone's eyes twitch, who was it that asked them if they had eaten as soon as they got up, looking very busy, but now, who is the most leisurely, actually starting to eat skin egg lean meat porridge here, and, not even letting them share together.

  Ning Xin Yang was still upset about what happened yesterday, so despite wanting to eat a bowl of her sister's handmade preserved egg and lean meat porridge, she restrained herself and instead ate the sandwiches and milk provided by the school, looking sulky.

  But Ning Shi Yang was different, she and Su Mo Ruo were friends in the first place, they lived in the same dormitory and talked casually all the time. She directly rushed to Su Mo Ruo's front, not minding that the bowl had been eaten by her before, and stretched out her hand to grab the bowl from Su Mo Ruo's hands.

  But she didn't know why, when her hand reached out, Su Mo had already disappeared from his position, and this scene made her stunned on the spot.

  But except for Ning Shi Yang, who was in the midst of it all, everyone else around them were just onlookers. Of course, they had all clearly seen how Su Mo Ruo had dodged Ning Shi Yang's move. Their eyes nearly popped out, and with mouths still full of milk or sandwiches, they stared at Su Mo Ruo with strange gazes, as if he was a piece of fragrant flatbread.

  "Hey, why won't you let me eat?" Ning Shi Yang looked at Su Mo Ruo with a face full of discontent, not pleased at all. Why wouldn't she even be allowed to drink one bowl of porridge? What's the point of being so stingy?

  "Sorry, there's only one bowl." It was a matter of time, these people had already eaten, and she wouldn't go around asking them like a saint. After all, the things she made, except for Mu Xinhua and Huiqin, not even her foster mother Liuqin had ever tasted.

  Hearing this, Ning Shi Yang almost vomited blood. "You've been in the kitchen for so long and you only managed to bring out a bowl of plain egg drop soup with lean meat?"

  "With so many seasonings, it's already a feat to get it done in over 10 minutes." The tone was neither salty nor bland, if someone else said it, they'd definitely offend people, but when Su Mo said it, the words were hilarious.

  "Alright, you're talented." Every time they bickered, she would lose, but she never admitted defeat. Each time she exchanged blows with Su Mo's bland tone, her heart would be stifled to the point of almost dying, yet not a single word could be squeezed out. What can she do? It's all because Su Mo's poker face made her feel somewhat intimidated. If Su Mo were to become even more formidable, she would have no choice but to admit defeat. After all, she was probably one of the few people who had witnessed Su Mo's true abilities in action, and at such a young age, possessing such terrifying skills left her speechless.

  After having breakfast, Sumo also didn't show any intention of going out, leaving a team of waiting members all bewildered.

  At 9:40, one of the team members finally couldn't help it and started to speak up, "Captain, time is almost up, when are we going out again?"

  "It's not urgent." Su Mo had a smile in her eyes. Coming here, apart from delivering breakfast to them, no one had come to pick them up all along, and today Yang Chongshan's call among the unconnected calls she didn't return later, nor did the other party call back, it can be seen that they were prepared to give them a warning.

  She's not a kind person to begin with, if they want to give her a warning, then she doesn't mind not attending this joint meeting. She wants to see what the consequences will be if they don't go, since they're making such a big deal out of it.

  "What's wrong with you, time is almost up. It takes more than 10 minutes to get there from here, if Sumo doesn't let everyone leave now, today's friendly match will definitely be late, and the ones who will lose face are not just them, but also the reputation of Donghai University."

  Although the school had also conducted friendly matches with Jinghua in the past, each time Jinghua was slightly better, and the strength of both sides was always uneven, which greatly frustrated them, but also motivated them to work harder. This year, however, the principal sent Suomoruo, a sophomore student who had just entered his second year, to lead their team, which made many people feel unbearable. But thinking about the main purpose of this time, everyone endured it. However, now Suomoruo's approach has caused several people who value honor extremely highly to become anxious.

  "Haste makes waste, can't eat hot tofu. If you want to win, just listen to me." Su Mo looked calmly at several people, with confidence in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

  Several people were unclear where Su Mo's confidence came from, how she was so sure that they wouldn't lose this match, and why she was so solemnly telling them to listen to her if they wanted to win.

  "Captain, just give us a hint, otherwise, you'll suffocate us all."

  "You'll know soon enough." Su Mo's eyes were calm and collected, as if she had already anticipated something. She took about ten minutes to slowly finish a bowl of porridge, then invited everyone to sit on the sofa for a while or entertain themselves, naturally someone would come to invite them.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a pair of eyes stared at Su Mo Ruo in unison, but not one person disobeyed the summons. Although unwilling, they still sat down on the sofa in the living room.

  At exactly ten o'clock, the doorbell rang.

  Everyone's eyes were on the gate, but under Sumojo's indication, no one moved to open the door. Because of Sumojo's determination earlier and now confirmation, everyone began to try to believe in Sumojo.

  "Su Mo Ruo, I know you're in there. Please open the door, okay?" The voice outside the door was surprisingly that of Yang Chongshan, the principal of Jing Hua University. This shocked everyone, but Su Mo Ruo remained calm and composed, sitting on the sofa without moving, only slightly pursing his lips. "I thought today's gathering wasn't going to happen after all. None of you even notified me."

  Su Mo's words finally made everyone realize this, but because of their strong competitive spirit, they had neglected other small matters. If it weren't for the people from Jinghua University leading them over, and instead they went on their own, then it would seem that Jinghua University didn't place much importance on this group of people. In that case, wouldn't Donghai University have already lost face before the competition even began?

  When a pair of eyes looked at Su Mo again, they already carried a hint of warmth.

  Not too over the top, after all, in terms of time, the friendly match was made quite large-scale, at least within Jinghua University it's well-known, and some important media were also invited, as well as some big shots from the education sector, city government leaders, etc. Letting them wait would be a serious offense, but Yang Chongshan knew Su Moye's other identity, so in his heart he still had some reservations about Su Moye.

  I thought this little girl was too young to see through these things, but unexpectedly, she's so clever and guessed his actions in an instant. It seems that in the future, wanting to deceive her will be quite impossible.

  Walked to the gate and opened the door, looking outside there were several school leaders following Yang Chongshan, but the former vice president Yang Wei was gone without a trace, thinking about it also knew what his ending would be.

  Yang Chongshan's face was flushed red, and there were several cars parked outside. At a glance, it was clear that they had arrived on time but hadn't gone to the scene yet and were anxious about it.

  Having achieved his goal, he didn't say anything else and just shouted "Let's go!" as he led the way into a car. The others followed suit, getting in their own vehicles to leave, making for a pretty interesting exit scene.

  Yang Chongshan watched Su Moruo's actions, his mouth twitching slightly, but now time was pressing, thinking that he had simply picked up a stone to hit his own foot. He hated himself for not being able to slap himself in the face. As for Su Moruo, he really loved him, but everyone has their temper. Su Moruo always lost face, repeatedly refusing to return to Jinghua. This time, he actually represented Donghai to come to Jinghua for the competition. To be honest, Yang Chongshan was really unsure about this match. After all, Su Moruo was a weirdo, and although he hadn't truly seen his abilities, he just felt that Su Moruo was an opponent who absolutely couldn't be underestimated.

  "Hurry up and keep up." Yang Chongshan looked at the few people beside him, stunned in place, motionless, and was so angry that he jumped his feet, where was the usual dignity in front of everyone.

  Several people who heard this woke up and hurriedly got on another car to follow.

  "How come he hasn't arrived yet?" Officer Hongping came today because he coincidentally found out that Suomoruo was also participating in this joint training exercise, so he followed his old subordinate over. Their identities were all concealed, and they only said that the old subordinate used to be their superior officer. Except for internal personnel, school leaders, and students, no one knew about Officer Hongping. He came with a happy heart, eager to see Suomoruo, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, but unexpectedly, the time had arrived, yet the person still hadn't.

  The school's high-level officials, who were specially responsible for receiving this group of big shots, listened to these words and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. However, they endured it and forced a smile that was even uglier than crying, "Our Principal Yang has already gone to see them personally."

  "One of them, a middle-aged man, hesitated and glanced at Shangguan Hongping."

  Shangguan Hongping waved his hand, "That girl has a lot of ideas in her head every day, let her be." His face was full of doting smiles.
