Chapter 13: So It Was Him

She walked into the hall on the first floor. The venue had been decorated to accommodate a birthday banquet.

The cheers of more than 20 people could be heard clearly even from outside.

Among the crowd, the most eye-catching people were naturally the star of the day, Su Ning, and Lin Tianhao.

Most of the others were Su Ning’s friends, while a small number were Lin Tianhao’s friends.

Su Yu did not know most of these people.

Only a few people looked familiar, but she could not remember their names.

At this moment, Lin Tianhao and Su Ning were standing together, looking very intimate. People who did not know better would think that the two of them were a match made in heaven!

The entire banquet seemed to have nothing to do with Su Yu.

Su Yu was no longer surprised by this.

“Sister, you’re back? Why didn’t you stay in the hospital? Did you come back to celebrate my birthday? My future brother-in-law even said that he’s here on your behalf.”

Su Ning was dressed extremely beautifully tonight. She looked radiant and looked like a socialite. Her every frown and smile seemed to be glowing.

At this moment, Lin Tianhao also walked over and said with a look of concern, “Yu Yu, can your body endure it? It’s your sister’s birthday, so I’ll attend it on your behalf. It’s your birthday too, so why must you do this?”

Su Yu listened to Lin Tianhao’s words and felt disgusted. She could not be bothered to act with the two of them, and her expression was extremely cold.

However, she did not expose their disguises. She asked indifferently, “Has the birthday banquet already begun?”

Su Ning felt that there was something wrong with her sister’s attitude today and felt a little uneasy.

However, when she thought of her sister’s illness, her worries instantly vanished.

She looked a little ashamed and helpless, but in reality, she was showing off. “My friends are the ones who arranged this birthday banquet for me. I didn’t know that you would be back today, so I didn’t prepare anything. Please don’t take it to heart!”

“It’s fine, it’s just a birthday banquet!”

Su Ning was instantly relieved when she heard that. She smiled and said, “I was afraid that you would be angry! It’s good that you don’t mind!”

At this moment, a friend of Su Ning’s suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, “Su Ning, don’t you have a fiancé? I think his name is Pei Tianlin, right? You didn’t invite him over?”

“Pei Tianlin!”

Hearing this name, some memories in Su Yu’s mind were instantly evoked.

If she remembered correctly, the man who slept with her had once said that his name was Pei Tianlin.

Coupled with what had happened in the past two days, Su Yu immediately thought of that third master.

‘So, that fellow’s name is Pei Tianlin. He’s also addressed as ‘Third Master’. Those who don’t know might think that he’s an old man!

‘So he’s Su Ning’s fiancé…’

If she did not remember wrongly, Pei Tianlin and his sister’s marriage contract was set earlier than hers. At that time, the Su and Pei families were old friends.

It was just that after the Pei family moved away, the two families gradually drifted apart. If not for this engagement, perhaps no one would have thought of this family.

However, she heard that there was an impressive Pei family in the capital. She did not know if it was related to this Pei family.

Su Ning glanced at Lin Tianhao and said with a reserved smile, “You might not know this, but I’ve already canceled my engagement with Pei Tianlin. It happened yesterday. He won’t be coming!”

A few of Su Ning’s friends looked surprised. Someone asked in surprise, “Ning Ning, you actually canceled the engagement? It’s such a big deal. Did your elders agree?”

With that, someone looked at Su Yu to observe her reaction.

Su Ning took a sip of wine and said with a smile, “It’s not that I dislike the poor and love the rich. It’s just that Pei Tianlin is a disappointment. His family’s financial situation is poor, and he doesn’t want to improve himself. Even if I don’t mind, the elders in the family won’t be willing to agree to our union either.

“For some reason, the elders in my family have all found out about this. Even without me mentioning it, they all supported the cancellation!”

At this moment, Su Ning came to Su Yu’s side and hugged her arm affectionately. She said pamperedly, “Sister, if it were you, you wouldn’t like such a guy either, right?”

Su Yu retracted her arm without saying anything.

However, she was thinking that since Su Ning could so easily cancel this marriage, Pei Tianlin should not be a member of the Pei family in the capital.

If the engagement with such a top family was canceled just like this, it would be a blatant slap to their faces. They would not rest until blood was shed.

With the Su family’s current status, they definitely would not dare to offend the capital’s Pei family.
