Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Dinner at the President Mansion (7)
Indeed, Su Lianxi and Ye Shutong, flanking the President’s wife on either side, seemed to treat their position as if it were some strategic location, following closely without leaving a step.
Ning Ruixin naturally saw Su Lianxi’s figure and frowned, “I heard from my mother that this young lady somehow caught the President’s wife’s attention, and it turns out to be true?”
Ye Shutong, being the niece of the President’s wife and a favored daughter of heaven, had the right to stand by the President’s wife’s side, but Su Lianxi… perhaps after today, Su Lianxi’s status within her circle would rapidly rise, and the Ning Family could not do much about this daughter-in-law anymore.
Thinking about this, Ning Ruixin was quite annoyed.
Su Zixi had been stunned for a long time and with a tone of admiration said, “I don’t know what method she used, but… Su Lianxi always had this ability.”
Whoever she thought useful, Su Lianxi could charm them completely around… yet the President’s wife did not seem like someone who could be easily mollified.
Ning Ruixin chuckled, “She doesn’t have that kind of capability; she’s full of deceitful tricks though.”
Su Zixi smiled bitterly in resignation, “It seems I will have a hard time finding a chance to speak with the President’s wife alone…”
I initially thought there was only Ye Shutong, but here comes another Su Lianxi…
One Su Lianxi, one Ye Shutong, since these two have monopolized the President’s wife, they certainly will not give her a chance to get close.
“I’m here, aren’t I?” Ning Ruixin patted her, “The President’s wife won’t let these two stick by her side all the time. Our First Lady is formidable indeed, she won’t neglect any guest, so we will always find a chance.”
“Alright,” Su Zixi said with a grateful smile.
Just as everyone’s eyes were captivated by the appearance of the President’s wife, the male partner who had just been abandoned by Ye Shutong quietly walked over to the long table, picked up a wine glass—the one clearly used by Su Zixi with a faint lipstick mark still on it.
He smiled satisfactorily, quietly packing away the glass.
Chu Jinyu smiled and exchanged pleasantries with the approaching ladies of high society for over ten minutes before the crowd finally dispersed.
“All right, you two go and enjoy yourselves too, don’t hang around this old lady,” she said with a beaming smile.
Su Lianxi and Ye Shutong exchanged glances, their eyes meeting in mid-air for a moment before quickly parting.
“Auntie, I came by myself today, you can’t leave me alone,” Ye Shutong said affectionately.
That day she had taken it upon herself to introduce He Jingyao to her uncle, but He Jingyao did not buy it—the uncle’s anger was directed not just at He Jingyao, but also at her. So Ye Shutong had to find a way to make amends, to seek her uncle’s forgiveness sooner.
Chu Jinyu glanced at her; Ye Shutong was always calm and graceful outside, only in front of her would she display such childishness.
“There are so many young talents here waiting to chat with you,” Chu Jinyu said with a smile, “If I monopolize you any longer, the young men here might start to resent me.”
Ye Shutong’s complexion changed slightly, her aunt’s tone was so firm, it seemed her uncle was still angry…
She dared not linger any longer and smiled as if nothing was the matter, “Okay, then I’m off.”
Having said this, she then turned and walked away.
On Chu Jinyu’s left, Su Lianxi suddenly felt a sense of triumphant relief, but before she could fully relish it, Chu Jinyu turned to her kindly, “You came with Yichen, right? Go find him.”
