Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Dinner at the President Mansion (8)
Su Lianxi felt somewhat aggrieved, “Yichen just disappeared as soon as he arrived…”
Those astonished and ingratiating gazes from the ladies earlier, she saw them crystal clear. She had barely managed to stay till the end, those people were probably even more shocked, weren’t they?
So she didn’t want to leave at all!
“Then you should go look for her.” Chu Jinyu said earnestly, “Lianxi, since you want to hold onto him, you first need to let him see your feelings.”
Resentment flashed across Su Lianxi’s eyes!
Her feelings… Ning Yichen had always disregarded them!
But facing Chu Jinyu’s irresistible gaze, she could only softly say yes and slowly walked away.
Finally, only the female officer remained beside Chu Jinyu, who sighed in relief.
Having to face these purposeful smiles every day and reply with equally fake smiles was truly tiring to death.
Han Ying quickly stepped forward to offer her a cocktail, “Madam, this is non-alcoholic.”
Chu Jinyu took it and sipped, “Did you find out?”
“Hmm… there were many new faces at tonight’s banquet, but the only one who could make you feel unfamiliar, Madam, must be the Young Mistress of the He Family. She has lived in Yanzhou City and just came to Yangdong City a few days ago.”
Chu Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly in surprise, “So it’s the He Family…”
She vividly remembered how Tian Youlin came back with a dark expression that day.
“Yes, it’s the lady next to Miss Ning,” Han Ying pointed in a certain direction.
Chu Jinyu looked intently, but unfortunately, a lady of high rank came up to chat, solidly blocking the two figures by the long table. She had no choice but to gather her spirits to deal with this lady.
Although Su Lianxi was reluctant to leave the side of the President’s wife, her mood soon improved as quite a few ladies came up to greet her, their words full of compliments, greatly satisfying her vanity.
She handled everyone with reserve, her gaze occasionally sweeping across the room. Suddenly, a slender figure caught her eye, making her pupils violently constrict!
How could she be here??
Su Lianxi’s body stiffened, her eyes wide as she stared dead at that figure, her heart seemingly gripped by a large hand!
No, no, she must not let her meet the President’s wife! If she revealed even the slightest bit of information, it could arouse the President’s wife’s suspicions, even… her mere presence might cause suspicion…
Su Lianxi clenched her fingers, swiftly sent away the ladies in front of her, and just as a female officer passed by with a tray, Su Lianxi grabbed a bottle of cocktail and downed it in one gulp!
Her eyes malevolently fixed on that figure… she intended not only to prevent Su Zixi from meeting the President’s wife but also to ensure she could never appear before her…
Holding the highball glass with the bright red liquid, Su Lianxi suddenly lifted the corners of her lips.
Meanwhile, Su Zixi still stood with Ning Ruixin, trying hard to find an opportunity, but the dignitaries continuously crowded in front of the President’s wife…
“Miss Ning, I should go ahead,” Su Zixi remembered she had a responsibility to fulfill, even if it meant people thought she was too eager to please the President’s wife, it was better than letting the opportunity slip away.
Ning Ruixin looked amused, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
As soon as her words fell, a waiter suddenly appeared in front of them with a tray, smiling, “Freshly squeezed blackcurrant juice, would you two like to try?”
