Chapter 484: Chapter 484: Dinner at the President Mansion (11)
Thinking of this, Su Zixi’s eyes reddened with anger, “Su Lianxi, it’s you again!”
“That’s right, it’s me.” Seeing her with reddened eyes, Su Lianxi was overly delighted.
“Don’t waste your breath on her.” Ning Ruixin grabbed Su Zixi’s wrist, speaking languidly, “If you find her displeasing, just have Yichen beat her up, don’t worry, the Ning Family definitely won’t object.”
Su Lianxi’s face changed, and she said through gritted teeth, “Sister, I am still a daughter-in-law of the Ning Family…”
“Is that so?” Ning Ruixin’s tone was cool, “Do you think just because you have the backing of the First Lady, I wouldn’t dare to touch you? Oh, if it really came to that, I would just have my men take care of you in secret, guaranteed to be untraceable, do you think the First Lady would blame our Ning Family for it?”
Su Lianxi’s face immediately turned pale, her lips quivered slightly, but she ended up saying nothing and left in resentment.
Towards Ning Ruixin, she always harbored a bit of fear.
“Annoying.” Ning Ruixin scoffed, still holding Su Zixi, “Come on, the banquet is about to start, don’t worry, your man can handle any big issue.
Hearing this made Su Zixi even more upset, “I just wanted to help her, but not only did I not help her, I made things worse…”
Perhaps she really overestimated herself, thinking this matter was simple, but in reality, she knew nothing about politics, and possibly she made mistakes without even realizing. This feeling was truly awful.
Ning Ruixin really didn’t know how to comfort her and could only say, “Then you’ll just have to make it up to him in bed.”
Su Lianxi strode to the long table, remembering the threatening words of Ning Ruixin; she was still trembling with anger!
She bit her lip, and upon seeing a remaining glass of blackcurrant juice on the tray, she suddenly smiled.
As children, she and Su Zixi both loved blackcurrant juice the most, but every time the servants made fresh blackcurrant juice, Su Lianxi always got the tastiest glass, and only when she couldn’t finish it did Su Zixi get a turn.
So, she knew very well that Su Zixi absolutely couldn’t refuse a glass of blackcurrant juice, and given her nature, she would definitely pick the closest glass, especially if it was the one with less left in it.
Sure enough, Su Zixi eventually drank that glass of blackcurrant juice… Looking at the time, maybe in a couple more minutes she would start showing symptoms, by then the First Lady would surely start detesting Su Zixi!
Thinking of this, Su Lianxi suddenly became interested in the glass of juice in front of her, she picked it up and checked it around, making sure there were no marks, then she began drinking it through a straw.
But the taste of this juice was really a bit strange; she frowned, placing the glass still half-full back down.
The female officials came in to ask the guests to move to the lounge, as the banquet was about to begin and the banquet hall needed to be rearranged.
Seeing Su Zixi looking listless, Ning Ruixin said, “How about you go back early?”
Su Zixi pursed her lips, gathering her spirits, “No, if I leave early and the First Lady finds out, she might think I’m resentful, which would be even worse… Since I’m already here, I must wait until the banquet ends.”
Ning Ruixin nodded, just as she was about to accompany her to the lounge, suddenly, a sharp, piercing laugh erupted from the banquet hall!
