“Hi, Su Shengjing. It has been a long time since we last met. The last time we met was on that night five years ago, right? Little Jiu… That’s how we met.”
That night five years ago?
Su Shengjing’s mind went blank. He still could not recall the exact details of that ridiculous night. All he knew was that he had slept with a woman, and then Su Jiu had appeared later on.
Could this lady who sent this message be… Su Jiu’s mother?
Her biological mother, who left her in the orphanage for almost four years after she was born?
Su Shengjing’s eyes dimmed as he replied: “Who are you?”
The person on the other end didn’t answer directly. The reply that came was: “I’m also here. I didn’t expect to meet you here. If you’re willing, let’s meet up!”
She is here?
Su Shengjing was stunned again. His heart could no longer calm down. Instead, it started thumping wildly.
If that was indeed Su Jiu’s mother, the woman with whom he had an intimate relationship a few years ago, he really wanted to know who she was.
And what about that night a few years ago?
Su Shengjing replied: “Where shall we meet?”
“After the auction ends, there will be a short break. Then, the famous personalities will go on stage to give speeches. About an hour later, you can come to the lounge to look for me.”
The “famous personalities” that the other party was talking about were the famous tycoons in the business world, such as the Li family and the Song family. The Su family, Sheng family, and other wealthy families were also invited to the banquet. Many people had come here tonight, but Su Shengjing did not see Sheng Tianci and the others, nor did he see anyone from the Su family.
Su Guobang would probably not attend such an event.
Logically speaking, if such a person was giving a speech on stage, then as a small celebrity, Su Shengjing should be respectful and not leave halfway. Therefore, he asked: “Can’t you wait until after the banquet ends?”
“No, I have to leave after the speech.”
Is that so?
Su Shengjing pursed his lips. After hesitating for two seconds, he decisively replied: “Sure.”
He wanted to see what Su Jiu’s mother was like. As he thought about this, his heart began to beat faster.
It was said that women were always obsessed with the man who took their first time from them, but so were men. A few years ago, Su Shengjing was barely 20 years old; he had never even dated before. Yet, he had inexplicably lost his virginity to a woman, who he didn’t even remember. This made Su Shengjing feel uneasy.
Has that woman who disappeared without a trace finally appeared?
Su Jiu watched the auction with great interest. She happened to raise her head and realized that her father was staring at his phone with a weird expression. His handsome face was slightly red as if he were angry and nervous. This surprised her. “Daddy, what are you looking at?”
Su Shengjing quickly came back to his senses and hid his emotions. He smiled and patted her head. “It’s nothing. I just got a message from your Uncle Sheng. He asked when the banquet will end.”
“Uncle Sheng?” Su Jiu blinked and asked in confusion, “Uncle Sheng is right here. I saw him just now! He was chatting with a few other uncles. He should know what time this ends. Why did he ask you, Daddy?”
Su Shengjing was stumped by the girl’s clear logic.
Damn, that idiot Sheng Tianci is here too? Why didn’t he say anything?
This isn’t good. Su Jiu has discovered that I was lying!
