Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

None of the socialites said anything, but noisiness was better than silence, Su Qian felt ashamed. Su Qian looked up again and met Meng Wan’s resentful gaze. The tears that had gathered in her eyes for a long time finally flowed down. “I didn’t, I really didn’t say anything bad about my sister.”

Meng Wan paused and suddenly felt that Su Qian was a scheming person. Thinking back to their conversation just now, Su Qian indeed only said how she was doing at home and never said what Su Yan did to her. However, she clearly meant that Su Yan did not treat her well. Now that she was exposed, it became a reason for her to absolve herself.

Su Qian still wanted to explain herself, but at this moment, the lights dimmed and a spotlight lit up at the center of the stage. The ceremony had begun.

The emcee did not mention Su Qian and her family’s name at all. He only said that today was Su Yan’s coming-of-age ceremony, that Su Yan had a hard time in the past and she was so beautiful and strong.

Standing among the business partners, Su Heng, who was constantly being praised, had an ugly expression on his face. He looked coldly at the emcee on stage, who was speaking eloquently. Right at this moment, he hated Su Yan to the core.

Mother Su, who had regained her confidence among the wealthy ladies, was also filled with hatred. Mother Su thought hatefully in her heart. If she had known that this little b*tch had such intentions, she would not have come over in the first place. She had even smiled for so long in vain.

When Su Yan went on stage, Mother Su’s hatred reached a climax. Because Su Yan was dressed too beautifully, she was so beautiful that it made people jealous. On more than one occasion, Mother Su thought about how good it would be if Su Yan’s face was on Su Qian. However, after thinking about it for a while, she felt a little disgusted.

Su Yan’s confident, bright, and elegant aura on stage made everyone gasp in surprise. Especially Huo Nan, who had just made up his mind to cut ties with Su Yan and take revenge. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he should have chosen Su Yan instead of Su Qian who was scheming against him. Huo Nan took a sip of his wine gloomily and suppressed the indignation in his heart.

Seeing the depressed look on Huo Nan’s face, his friends started to tease him.

“I say, Old Huo, this big sister is much prettier than the younger sister. Did you let go of the big prize while grabbing at trifles?”

“Hey, if you ask me, it’s not a bad idea for you to take the two sisters together. What do you think?”

“Hahaha, look at Old Huo’s face. It’s as smelly as dog shit.”

Usually, they didn’t know their limits when they joked around, and they did not filter their words. No one expected that this time, Huo Nan, who had always been good-tempered, would stare at them with reddened eyes.

“Ahem, Old Huo, what’s wrong with you? Don’t vent your anger on us.”

After being reminded like this by his friend, Huo Nan finally took a deep breath and gulped down a mouthful of wine before staggering off to who knows where. Right now, he couldn’t stand Su Yan. The more outstanding and beautiful Su Yan was, the more others would think that he was blind to have fallen for a woman like Su Qian.

Su Qian coldly watched Huo Nan’s actions. When she saw Huo Nan’s depressed expression, she felt both disappointed and resentful. At the same time, she also felt a little happy. It was probably the sense of accomplishment that a high and mighty immortal was tricked by her.

After Su Yan finished speaking, she left the stage and came to Shi Qing’s side. Shi Qing had already prepared a gift and placed it in Su Yan’s arms when she came over.

“Eh? How did you know I was coming?”

Shi Qing answered, “Smell.”

Smell? Su Yan lowered her head and sniffed. She had just changed her perfume today. Could Shi Qing still remember it?

Seeing that Su Yan did not believe him, Shi Qing smiled and did not beat around the bush. “Actually, my eyes have gotten better. I can already see some things.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yan was overjoyed. She immediately squatted down in front of Shi Qing and stared closely into his eyes. She even mumbled, “Really? Let me see. This is practically the best gift I’ve received for my coming-of-age ceremony.” Towards the end, there was a hint of sobbing in her voice.

Shi Qing’s hand landed accurately on Su Yan’s head, it felt nice and he even rubbed it.

The big shots of City A were shocked by the interaction between Su Yan and Shi Qing. What was the relationship between these two?

Why would the famous President Shi treat an unknown girl so well?

Was there some unspeakable secret between the two of them?

After all, these people were all wily old foxes. Although they had their own guesses, they would not rush over to ask. That would not be considered considerate.

On the other hand, Su Heng, who had been dissatisfied all this while, went up to Su Yan and Shi Qing. He smiled and asked, “Xiao Yan, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce him?” His questioning tone showed his displeasure.

As for the content that he was dissatisfied with, it was probably because she did not mention their family name when she was introducing herself. Wouldn’t their family be unable to show their faces in front of the big shots of City A?

Su Yan asked, “Oh? Father wants to know who this is?”
