Chapter 241: Only He Brought a Female Companion???? _1
Cao Shiyu watched as Ye Qilan disappeared into the distance. She wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, her voice choking, “You see, Su Hongxing has Ye Si’s heart wrapped around her finger. In his eyes, there is only Su Hongxing. Our wedding is about to be held, but his mind is so focused on Su Hongxing, all the wedding plans are being executed by me and my family. He has become an outsider, forgotten he is the groom himself…”
As she spoke, Cao Shiyu broke into sobs.
Ye Ling felt sorry for Cao Shiyu, and her tears made her look beautiful, stirring even the heart of a woman like herself.
She just didn’t understand. How could her normally wise and powerful elder brother be bewitched by Su Hongxing, neglecting a fine woman like Cao Shiyu and spoiling that ugly woman, Su Hongxing?
“Stop crying, we will have plenty of opportunities to get rid of Su Hongxing. Ye Si is just temporarily drawn to novelty; he will eventually see Su Hongxing’s true colors. You are the only sister-in-law I acknowledge; Su Hongxing can’t come to the fore. Don’t worry, I’m with you.”
“Thankyou, Ye Ling, you’re so kind.”
Ye Ling embraced Cao Shiyu, not noticing the fleeting, sharp look in Cao Shiyu’s eyes…
Without surprise, Su Hongxing was brought along by Ye Qilan to another city to attend a summit.
In this business summit, everyone from top executives in Asia and in the country had gathered. Ye Qilan stood out amongst the attendees.
Especially since he brought along Su Hongxing to this event, making them the center of attention wherever they went.
“Is that Ye Si, the heir to Ye Family?” someone whispered.
“Yes, he’s really talented and young, and has an incredible business acumen. Among the younger generation, he’s said to have the most potential,” another person replied.
“Is the lady next to him his secretary?” Someone else inquired.
But calling her a secretary, it seemed that Ye Qilan’s gaze towards Su Hongxing was far too soft.
No delegate at the daytime conference was accompanied by a woman; Ye Qilan was the only exception.
“That must be it. She certainly can’t be his woman. He’s getting married soon, to Cao Shiyu. I’ve seen Miss Cao; she is beautiful and has a great aura. They make a perfect pair…”
“I’ve seen that woman at an evening party in the Imperial Capital, people were saying that she was Ye Si’s new flame,” someone else joined the conversation.
The previously whispering crowd suddenly fell silent.
News of Ye Qilan’s upcoming wedding spread like wildfire, with the date already set. If Su Hongxing was indeed Ye Qilan’s woman and he was bringing her along his side, right before his wedding, disregarding the occasion, the implications were clear.
But there was one questionable point.
Did Ye Qilan’s taste seem a bit odd? No matter how you looked at it, Su Hongxing couldn’t compare to Cao Shiyu.
Many people, fearing trouble, wisely dispersed, but all of them were secretly observing Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing felt the unusual gazes fixated on her. She didn’t want to attract attention.
In such a formal setting her presence seemed out of place.
Just as she was utterly bored, the sound of Xiao Ji echoed from behind her, “Xingxing, come over here.”
Su Hongxing’s unconscious reaction, however, was to look at Ye Qilan.
