Chapter 201: You better shut up Chapter 201: You better shut up Su Hongde’s voice was cold with rage, as if he wished he could strangle Su Ran to death right there.
“Is that so? Too bad you no longer have the chance to regret it!”
Standing in the middle of the banquet hall, Su Ran was the picture of calm, her wavy hair cascading down her shoulders. Her eyes danced with mirth, but the smile did not reach them.
The brilliant lights shone upon her, casting a glow on her exquisite features, highlighting her striking beauty and riveting everyone’s attention.
Gu Heng held Su Xinyan in his arms with a pained expression, his brow furrowing slightly as he looked at Su Ran.
“You’d better shut up.”
Her gaze was cold and indifferent as she glanced over at him, her tone aloof and frosty.
The color drained from Su Xinyan’s face, unable to recover from the humiliation Su Ran had brought upon her today. She stared at Su Ran, who stood with the air of a victorious queen, the venom in her heart almost enough to annihilate the heavens and earth.
She took a deep breath, her normally frail figure appearing even more pitiable against her pale complexion. Her red-rimmed eyes were filled with tears, her demeanor so delicate it seemed she could shatter at any touch.
“Sister, you are a member of the Su Family too. Do you really have to embarrass Grandma and Dad in such an event? Do you know your actions could destroy the Su Family’s…”
Her voice was thin and fragile as she leaned into Gu Heng’s embrace, her face etched with grief and restrained sorrow.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, her tone light and breezy.
“Lose your own dignity and then blame others for causing you embarrassment? I am the ruin of the Su Family? Hah…”
She scoffed lightly, the sound tinged with sardonic amusement.
The crowd started murmuring, many unable to hold back their criticisms.
“Exactly, if you face embarrassment, that’s your own doing. If you don’t have any shame, who can you blame?”
“And to have the audacity to accuse someone else of ruining the Su Family? Maybe consider your own actions first before making such claims?”
“When Miss Su was expelled from the home five years ago, no one spoke of family unity. What kind of relatives are you now trying to acknowledge?”
“Right, plagiarizing someone else’s work and then blaming them for exposing it, how utterly shameless!”
Su Xinyan’s face turned even paler, filled with unbearable shame!
The banquet hall buzzed with discussion for a long time.
Su Ran’s smile faded from her eyes, her voice becoming detached and icy.
“Since I bear the Su surname, you called me here, and I’ve come. Today, I’ve given you enough respect, but you failed to grasp it. I, Su Ran, was driven out of my home five years ago. For years, I’ve been ignored, yet I’ve survived on my own!
So, don’t bother coming to me with your fake sentiments of kinship ever again; you don’t deserve it! If possible, I’d prefer you never appear before me again. The Su Family won’t let me be, and the feeling is mutual!
If that’s how it is, then let’s all live our separate lives, each to their own fate!”
Having said that, Su Ran turned and walked away.
Gu Heng stared blankly at the dazzling Su Ran, her eyes shimmering with scattered stars, her body emanating an aura of pride and defiance that was captivating.
His gaze lingered on her retreating figure, unable to regain his senses for a long time.
Su Xinyan could clearly feel Gu Heng’s rigid body, biting her lip so hard she felt like her lungs were about to burst.
Wen Peipei suddenly snapped to her senses and pushed Su Hongde aside, hurrying off the stage.
The sharp voice rang out, but Su Ran acted as if she hadn’t heard, heading straight for the door.
Su Xinyan broke free from Gu Heng’s arms and staggeringly followed Wen Peipei to catch up with Su Ran.
A throng of people moved grandly to the doorway, some delighted to see Su Ran stopping her steps.
The next second, just as they were about to approach!
However, the scene outside the hotel froze everyone in their tracks.
