Over here, even without familial ties to the Fu Family, there must certainly be business collaborations.
Su Wanxin: "We also have business dealings with the Fu Family, so we can’t just because of this incident, outright dismiss Lu Ci as a person!"
She earnestly vouched for Lu Ci to Qi Ran and Su Yu Yan, saying lots of good things about him and emphasized particularly the Lu Family’s attitude towards Su Yao.
She knew what Qi Ran and Su Yu Yan were most concerned about; whether she and Su Yao got married or not didn’t matter, nor did the kind of family they married into. What was important was their happiness, that they weren’t aggrieved; that would suffice.
"I’ve met Lu Ci’s grandpa before, he invited me and Yaoyao out for a meal, a truly kind old man, so you don’t need to worry, the Lu Family really likes Yaoyao!"
Qi Ran sighed while Su Yu Yan felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue, not wanting to say anything more.
Su Wanxin talked with them for a long time, until she was parched and nearly moved to tears.
Why did she take on this task? To argue with lawyers, wasn’t she overestimating herself?
"What about you?" Qi Ran stroked her hair. "Yaoyao said you also had dinner at the Fu Family’s, did they make things difficult for you?"
"...No, how could that be." Su Wanxin smiled and shook her head. "They invited me over, not to embarrass me."
"Alright, go back to rest." Qi Ran nodded, signaling her to leave. "It’s getting late, we’ll talk more tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Wanxin obediently stood up, "Mom and Dad, good night."
She walked out of their room, and in the hallway, Su Yao had already been anxiously waiting for a long time.
Su Wanxin gave her an OK sign with her hand and went into the room with her, recounting their parents’ reactions.
"Dad’s reaction was a bit more intense, but Mom was quite calm. Don’t worry, it’s all good."
"What karma have I created?" Su Yao looked at the ceiling in despair. "Lu Ci the bastard, I’ve got to settle the score with him!"
She clearly hadn’t agreed to him yet, hadn’t even dated!
Su Wanxin’s lips curled into a smile, "Well, I’m out of this. I’m off to shower and sleep, so tired."
"Bye, goodnight, love you, mwah."
Finally, Su Wanxin returned to her own room, closed the door, and rubbed her face which was stiff from smiling, took out her phone to look at it, a trace of disappointment flickering in her eyes.
Tomorrow...
She wondered if he would come...
Su Wanxin felt a suffocating discomfort, threw her phone down, and went into the bathroom. After washing up, she lay heavily down on the bed feeling groggy.
She was thankful that she drank a little too much tonight, so she quickly felt sleepy. Her eyes grew heavy and not long after, she fell asleep.
After having a night filled with all sorts of messy dreams, she woke up promptly at seven o’clock to the blasting of her alarm clock. Su Wanxin hurriedly changed her clothes and did her makeup, had a sip of porridge, and then rushed out the door.
Huazheng Group, after more than a year of preparation, was finally opening today.
Too many people were waiting for this day, competitors as well as media.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony in the morning would surely see the CEO appear. Everyone was waiting for a spectacle, eager to see who had the guts to start such a company and invite trouble for themselves.
Su Wanxin first returned to Su Family’s place and then drove to the Huazheng Building, where numerous media were already waiting.
As she got out of the car, the flash bulbs wouldn’t stop blazing, making her eyes somewhat uncomfortable.
Others had arrived as guests before her, so when the reporters saw her, they subconsciously categorized her as part of the guest group without giving it much thought.
