Chapter 90 Undercurrents at the Banquet

Next to the champagne tower in the banquet hall, Su Manyin was talking in a low voice with Yang Tian, the secretary of Zhou Group.

"Manager Su, why didn't President Feng come with us this time?"

Yang Tian looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the rim of the goblet.

Su Manyin chuckled, and when she parted her red lips, her lipstick shone with a cool luster under the light: "Our President Feng is very busy, but don't worry, he will naturally give face to President Zhou."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion at the entrance.

Li Ruochu, dressed in a flaming red dress, and Feng Yizhou, dressed in an ink-black suit, walked in side by side, as if the dark night and fire collided.

Feng Yizhou held her slender waist tightly with his arms, and wore a dark red shirt under a black suit, which echoed the color of her skirt, making them look like a custom-made couple's outfit.

Su Manyin's pupils suddenly contracted and her nails dug deeply into her palms.

The wine glass was tilted slightly at the base of the thumb, and a few drops of champagne splashed out, spreading tiny dark spots on the light gold carpet.

"Who is the woman next to President Feng?" Yang Tian's voice brought Su Manyin's thoughts back to reality.

He stared at the diamond necklace dangling around Li Ruochu's neck.

That was the Tears of the Starry Sky that Feng Yizhou bought at an auction last month, a gift rumored to be priceless.

Su Manyin's breathing stagnated, but she put on a decent smile: "Secretary Yang has good eyesight. That person is our Feng family's new personal secretary, Li Ruochu."

"Secretary Li?" Yang Tian suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He had met this female secretary, who was known for her calm and professionalism, at the annual meeting of Shen Group.

It is said that Li Ruochu is Shen Yubai's wife, and they don't know whether it is true or not.

Su Manyin's smile deepened: "Miss Li and Mr. Shen have parted ways peacefully, and now she is an indispensable talent for our Feng family."

Not far away, Hongyuan Group President Wu Yan's wine glass banged heavily on the edge of the table.

He stared at Li Ruochu's figure, his eyes icy, "This bitch! If she hadn't interfered, we would have won the project we bid for long ago!"

Seeing this, his friend quickly held him down and said, "Mr. Wu, calm down. She is Feng Yizhou's person now. We can't touch her."

Wu Yan's knuckles turned white from clenching their fists under the tablecloth.

After losing the bid last year, he investigated Li Ruochu and knew that this woman was good at cutting off the source of trouble at the critical moment.

Seeing her appear side by side with Feng Yizhou at this moment, he felt like a wolf whose prey had been taken away, with a sweet and fishy hatred surging in his chest.

Su Manyin saw it all.

She picked up the wine glass and walked towards Li Ruochu. The rhythm of her high heels tapping on the marble floor was very much like the sound of a venomous snake spitting out its tongue: "Director Li is really dazzling tonight."

Li Ruochu looked up when he heard the voice, and met the poisonous cold light in Su Manyin's eyes.

She pulled her arm away without leaving a trace: "Manager Su, you are too kind. I always know how to show my elegance in the right occasions."

Just then, there was a noise at the banquet door.

Then, Li Ruochu suddenly heard Su Manyin's smiling voice: "Hey, Secretary Li's old acquaintance is here."

She looked up and saw Shen Yubai walking slowly under the gilded carved arch at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Gu Qiuying held his arm tightly, her fingertips turning white from the force, like vines clinging to a tree trunk.

"Mr. Shen is so lucky." Su Manyin took a sip of champagne, the tip of her tongue touching the remaining wine on the edge of the glass, her eyes gleaming with poisonous intent, "The ex-wife and new lover are all here together, this drama is more exciting than any movie."

Li Ruochu lowered his voice and said to Feng Yizhou beside him: "Boss Feng, are you deaf? Can't you hear your manager being sarcastic to me?"

"It's better for Secretary Li to do some things herself. After all, if I help you, I'm afraid Su Manyin will misunderstand you even more in the future."

Feng Yizhou naturally didn't want to see Li Ruchu being wronged, but he enjoyed the feeling of Li Ruchu trying her best to please him in order to piss off Su Manyin.

Feng Yizhou's thumb gently stroked Li Ruchu's lower back, and Li Ruchu instantly felt a tingling sensation.

Feng Yizhou lowered his eyes to look at the tip of her slightly red ear, and his thin lips curled into a playful arc: "Secretary Li, why are you staring at my ex-husband?"

Li Ruochu took a half step back as if she had been electrocuted. She looked up at Feng Yizhou's deep eyes, and pursed her red lips into a sharp straight line: "If Mr. Feng continues to do this, I'm afraid Manager Su will throw champagne at us later."

Shen Yubai stopped three steps in front of them.

Li Ruochu's red dress was like a burning flame, making her already fair skin seem almost transparent.

It's been such a long time since we last met, and yet his Chu Chu has become so beautiful.

Maybe she was so beautiful before, but he just didn't realize it.

"Chu Chu, you are very beautiful."

Li Ruochu looked at the dark tide surging in the depths of Shen Yubai's pupils, and suddenly chuckled: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for the compliment."

Gu Qiuying's nails dug deeply into Shen Yubai's arms.

She deliberately wore an off-shoulder dress today, but Shen Yubai's eyes were always glued to Li Ruochu.

Seeing Li Ruochu's provocation, she immediately raised her chin: "Li Ruochu, you are really good at tricks. You left A Yu and climbed up to a high branch like President Feng!"

"Miss Gu, what you said is strange." Li Ruochu smiled and said, "I am worth more than 2 billion now, why should I climb up the social ladder?"

Li Ruochu didn't know what methods this woman used to stay by Shen Yubai's side.

However, Li Ruochu knew that Lin Yin was the one behind this matter!

"I'm afraid that no matter how valuable you are, you can't come back to our A Yu!" Gu Qiuying once again tightened her grip on Shen Yubai's arm, looking as if she was provoking him.

Li Ruochu just found it funny that this woman was still showing off her relationship with Shen Yubai.

No matter how much she went through for the divorce, Gu Qiuying just never learned her lesson.

She is the only one who treats Shen Yubai as a treasure!

"Chu Chu, I used to think you were blind, but I didn't expect that there are people who are even blinder than you now."

Feng Yizhou's voice was low and somewhat playful, with a very long tail.

He glanced at Shen Yubai with a half-smile, a barely perceptible hint of provocation flashing in his eyes.

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yubai's face turned ashen in an instant.

Feng Yizhou seemed not to notice and continued, "I should thank Mr. Shen." He paused, his eyes fell directly on Shen Yubai, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Only after you divorced Chuchu did I have the opportunity to pursue her."

Su Manyin stood aside, her fingers turning white from the force with which she gripped the champagne glass, and drops of water condensed on the wall of the glass kept dripping down her fingertips.

As Feng Yizhou's right-hand man for many years, she has accompanied him in countless business occasions.

But now, Li Ruchu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, easily got the attention she had always dreamed of.

The flame of jealousy burned in her heart.

Su Manyin came to Wu Yangang with a swaying figure, leaned close to his ear, opened her red lips and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Wu Yangang's eyes flashed with a gleam of light and a greedy smile appeared on his face.

"Manager Su, rest assured. I'll take care of this matter. I'll definitely thank you generously after it's done."

The two looked at each other, both with calculating eyes.
