Chapter 652: 0642 Quite daring Chapter 652: 0642 Quite daring “Did you see that? This is the granddaughter you were so enchanted by, the ‘Lucky Star’ you cherished and firmly believed would lead the Su Family to the peak. And now? What has become of her? There could have been a chance for the Su Family to reach the peak, but alas, you didn’t grasp it! From now on, the life and death of the Su Family will be at my discretion!”
Standing on the stage with the trophy in hand, Su Ran looked like a strategist who had ascended to a high position as a victor.
Gazing down from above with a commanding presence that was awe-inspiring and intimidating to behold.
“Why didn’t you say something earlier? If you had spoken sooner…”
If only she had spoken sooner, the Su Family wouldn’t have fallen to such a state!
Su Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at her indifferently.
“Why should I have said anything?”
“You… you…” Wen Peipei was so angry she was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Su Ran lifted her brow and looked towards the audience below.
And finally, those who were stunned into silence slowly came to their senses and began to clap enthusiastically.
“This award ceremony was indeed prepared for R!”
“Besides R, I doubt anyone else has this honor!”
“But isn’t R super cool? My heart raced just from seeing a woman so handsome!”
“R’s designs are finally hitting the market, after so many years of waiting, the time has come!”
“No more words, just buy, buy, buy–I really love R’s designs!”
“I’m going to follow the official website immediately to know when they’re released!”
“Me too, me too, I’m going to buy the entire first series and keep it as a collection!”
At that moment, the live broadcast’s chat was frantically scrolling!
The successful yet chaotic award ceremony drew to a close as the night faded away.
Across the ocean in a certain villa, the brilliant sunshine outside couldn’t penetrate the thick floor-to-ceiling windows.
The room was dim, the only light flickering from the television, casting glimmers on the genuine leather sofa opposite.
A man in a smart suit, hidden in the shadows, sat there, his alluring and bewitching face partly visible in the TV’s faint glow.
His features were handsome and cool, his eyes and brows carrying an extra touch of indifferent, devil-may-care audacity, and the whole room emanated a strange and eerie aura.
When he saw Su Ran standing on the award platform with the trophy on TV, the thin corners of his lips curved into a faint smile, and the usually impassive expression on his face also softened slightly.
His lengthy fingers reached for a wine glass beside him, the red liquid and the body of the glass reflecting a faint sparkle.
He raised the glass towards the high and mighty woman on the screen, and a deep voice echoed in the dim room like a cello.
“Xiao Ranran, congratulations!”
With that, he tossed back the red wine in one gulp.
Then he abruptly stood up, his tall and imposing figure stretching higher, a powerful sense of oppression overwhelming the room.
As the sound of the door closing was heard, the man’s figure had already vanished from the dark room.
Although the TV screen still showed the award ceremony, on the coffee table opposite, an empty wine glass stood erect, its surface reflecting a cold, white light.
Observing the dignified and powerful Su Ran, who stood alone with a commanding aura, everyone couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
“The sister-in-law is truly formidable; her strong presence has overshadowed everyone present,” Mo Shangjie couldn’t help but exclaim, his tone full of immense respect and admiration!
“Qi Yuan has good taste; it’s hard to imagine a woman possessing such a powerful aura.”
“A woman like the sister-in-law can really arouse a man’s desire to conquer, but she seems to be a bit too formidable!”
The group exchanged several comments back and forth until, later on, they noticed an unusual aura.
In the vast living room, a cold chill was spreading; Mo Shangjie couldn’t help but shiver and turned his head only to see Fu Qiyuan with a deep and profound look, his dark eyes suffused with a dangerous and stern hue.
“Boss, we were just expressing our admiration and worship for Sister-in-Law; there was absolutely no other intent.”
Mo Shangjie looked at Fu Qiyuan’s expression with extreme caution, raising his hand as he promised.
Fu Qiyuan glanced at him indifferently, his deep eyes continuing to focus on the television screen.
Upon hearing this, Mo Shangjie immediately rose from the sofa, without a hint of displeasure on his face from being sent away.
“Well… it’s getting late, so we… will take our leave. You should rest early, Boss!”
As Mo Shangjie stood up, the others followed suit. When Wen Jichen passed by Fu Qiyuan, he said indifferently:
“You’d better investigate her background.”
Fu Qiyuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, lifting his gaze to look at him, a profound coldness lurking within his dark eyes.
Wen Jichen met his gaze with a calm composure, his handsome face bearing his usual coldness and indifference.
“Your willingness to trust her doesn’t mean she isn’t dangerous. This danger isn’t just to you, but also to herself!”
Wen Jichen, who was usually sparing with words, stopped at that.
However, how could Fu Qiyuan, such an intelligent man, fail to perceive the implication behind his words.
After everyone had left, he sat alone on the sofa, his dark eyes resting on the girl on the TV screen.
After a moment, his thin lips slowly curved into a slight smile.
Who she was, what kind of background she had was utterly insignificant.
To him, she was simply his girl!
The girl he would hold in the palm of his hand, treasuring her, not allowing any harm or bullying to come her way.
After the awards ceremony, Su Ran did not stay for the event.
She had intended to go straight back to the hotel, but the shock she brought that night was too much. As soon as she got off stage, she was surrounded by journalists from all nations.
Questions came one after another, the journalists’ enthusiasm and excitement almost set her ablaze.
In the end, it was the castle’s soldiers who managed to keep the journalists at bay, allowing Su Ran to escape.
Back at the hotel, Su Ran wanted to call Fu Qiyuan right away, but her phone rang first.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, her normally cold and detached eyes instantly turned sharp, and her complexion also changed slightly.
It had been a very long time since she had seen this number, so long that she had almost forgotten about this person.
Su Ran’s eyes narrowed dangerously, but she still answered the phone in the end.
“Xiao Ranran, congratulations!”
“Thank you,” Su Ran tugged at her lips, responding indifferently, but an icy chill was rising in her heart.
The awards ceremony was broadcast globally that night, and naturally, she hadn’t expected it to be kept secret from anyone.
But she never expected to receive a call from him!
“It seems you’ve gotten involved with a very dangerous person.”
Su Ran’s brows twitched, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Upon hearing this, the man chuckled lightly, as if laughing at Su Ran’s evasive response.
“You really are fearless, even daring to provoke someone from the Fu family.”
Su Ran’s gaze turned sharp, her expression growing completely cold.
“Are you investigating me?”
“Why would I do that? I’m clearly trying to protect you!”
“I can protect myself!” Su Ran’s voice carried an unwavering decisiveness.
“You can protect yourself?”
