Chapter 83: A Shield?

Today is the birthday banquet of Mr. Shang.

Celebrities from all walks of life attended in their finest attire.

It was both a birthday celebration and a stage for fame and fortune.

Su Wanwan wore a high-fashion piece flown in from Paris and a complete set of pigeon-blood red ruby ​​jewelry, which made her even more radiant and beautiful.

She has fair skin and a slim but not skinny figure.

A red evening gown, paired with red jewelry, truly resembles a rose in full bloom, radiant as the morning sun.

As soon as she entered, she felt many eyes subtly sweeping over her.

Su Wanwan was already used to it.

Meng Ningyan arrived a little earlier than her.

Upon seeing Su Wanwan, his eyes lit up, and he clicked his tongue in admiration: "I declare you the best player of the night."

Su Wanwan refused three times in a row, saying, "Don't flatter me to death."

She just didn't want the Su family to lose face.

Besides, she wasn't exaggerating.

There are many people who are even more outrageous than her.

Several of the younger members of the family who knew each other gathered together and watched those people socializing.

Some people wanted to strike up a conversation, but seeing Rong Mingcheng and Tan Feichen acting like bodyguards, they had to give up.

Tan Feichen: "Is Professor Xie from your family busy these days?"

"...Why are you asking this?" Su Wanwan asked.

When did Tan Feichen become so familiar with Xie Yanning?

"I just wanted to ask how I can get into his graduate program." Tan Feichen's voice was a little soft, and he was still a bit shy despite his age.

Everyone else was stunned for a while.

Rong Mingcheng picked at his ear: "No, did I hear you right? You're going to study?"

"Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Su Wanwan found it strange that Tan Feichen, who was always being forced to study, would be so proactive one day.

"It's nothing," Tan Feichen explained, looking at the crowd of people clinking glasses in the distance. "I just feel that life is pretty meaningless right now."

He was the second son in his family, and his older brother was seven or eight years older than him. From a young age, he knew that he only needed to be a qualified third-generation rich kid who did nothing wrong, and that the family business would not be his turn to be inherited.

But his older brother asked him if he was interested in managing part of the company's business, and that a research and development base would be set up in the capital.

He didn't know what his older brother was thinking, but he didn't want to continue being so downcast. Even without his brother's abilities, he wanted to see how far he could go.

As a manager, one cannot be completely clueless, so he considered whether he could apply for Xie Yanning's graduate program.

He later looked up Xie Yanning's background and could only describe it with admiration.

Su Wanwan patted him, "Do you have such ambition? I'll ask Professor Xie for you."

Tan Feichen: "I cannot express my gratitude for such a great kindness."

Rong Ming downed a glass of champagne in one gulp. "No, have you guys found your purpose in life?"

Needless to say, Su Wanwan studied diligently from a young age and did not behave like a rich second-generation. She aspired to become a great surgeon.

The others were all determined to carry on the legacy of their playboy lifestyle, and they were all set on it, so why did they suddenly change their minds?

Sure enough, people change as they grow up.

Meng Ningyan: "I didn't mean I had to be ignorant and incompetent just because I was a playboy."

Rong Mingcheng was filled with grief and indignation: "You... you actually betrayed the organization."

They were discussing life, and the speeches on stage were already finished.

As the eldest grandson of the third generation, Shang Haoyan made a speech. His eyes inadvertently swept over Su Wanwan and the others who were huddled at the back, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Su Wanwan has become the way she is now; I don't know if she's been corrupted by them.

Rong Mingcheng: "Do you feel a chill?"

Su Wanwan said mysteriously, "I often feel this inexplicable chill when I'm in the hospital."

"Then what?"

"Then, the air conditioner broke down, it was sputtering."

"..."

Su Wanwan has survived to this age without being beaten to death; she really has to rely on her beauty.

Before they knew it, the lights came on and the dance began.

Seeing Shang Haoyan walking over, Su Wanwan suddenly felt a stirring in her heart and pulled Rong Mingcheng into the center of the dance floor.

Rong Mingcheng: "..."

Social dancing is a required course for them. He said cheekily, "Don't you suddenly feel like I'm the most handsome guy in the whole place?"

Su Wanwan said seriously, "Yes."

Rong Mingcheng even pretended to be shy, saying, "It's a pity you already have Professor Xie, otherwise I would definitely pursue you."

Su Wanwan: Hehe.

A hint of gloom flashed in Shang Haoyan's eyes as he realized his efforts had been in vain.

Miss Liu Mozhan of the Liu family invited him with a smile.

The Liu family did indeed want to curry favor with the merchants.

It would be best if the two families could form a marriage alliance.

Liu Moran didn't care about Shang Haoyan's attention to Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan was indeed outstanding in appearance, and every woman would like her.

Shang Haoyan accepted Liu Moran's invitation and went onto the dance floor.

Tan Feichen looked at Meng Ningyan, "How about..."

Meng Ningyan: "I refuse."

Tan Feichen: "..."

He's quite the handsome young man.

Tan Feichen didn't want to talk to anyone else, so he simply took out his phone and took a picture of Su Wanwan for Xie Yanning.

He had a feeling that Xie Yanning would really want to see Su Wanwan tonight.

Sure enough, Xie Yanning, who was in a video conference, received the photo, glanced at it, and then saved it.

Tan Feichen is good at taking candid photos and didn't include Rong Mingcheng in the shot.

He even went so far as to say, in a particularly obsequious tone, that he danced with Rong Mingcheng.

Rong Mingcheng posed absolutely no threat.

Tan Feichen was greatly encouraged by Xie Yanning's thank you and decided to film a video for him.

As he was filming, he captured Shang Haoyan pulling Su Wanwan over during a dance transition, while Liu Moran was with Rong Mingcheng.

This is actually quite common.

Ballroom dancing, you know.

Tan Feichen had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and in a moment of distraction, he sent the video to Xie Yanning.

By the time he came to his senses, the video was already irreversible.

Su Wanwan was also taken aback.

Shang Haoyan's actions were normal, but Su Wanwan could sense an invisible pressure.

She was wearing a backless evening gown, which showed off her slender and beautiful back.

Shang Haoyan's hand was gently resting on her back.

This feeling is different from Rong Mingcheng's.

Shang Haoyan's was clearly more intense.

"Block it for a moment," Shang Haoyan said.

Su Wanwan: "???" Could it be that she was mistaken?

Was Shang Haoyan simply using her as a shield?

She looked at Liu Moran and Rong Mingcheng on the other side, and then clearly saw the disdain in their eyes.

Su Wanwan: "..."

Is she just a tool?

"Is Miss Liu doing well?" Su Wanwan said.

The Liu family has a good background and is considered a good match for the business community. Moreover, Liu Mozhan is a very capable young lady and is currently the second-in-command of the group.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for two workaholics to get together and try to make the company even better.

"Wanwan, am I someone who can settle for anyone?" Shang Haoyan said softly.

The hot air sprayed against her ear, and Su Wanwan subconsciously moved away a little, then saw Shang Haoyan's eyes.

There seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes, much like Xie Yanning at certain times.

Xie Yanning watched the video sent by Tan Feichen repeatedly.

Tan Feichen was still laughing it off, saying, "[Su Wanwan is just really likable]."

Then they regretted what they had just said.

He looked at Shang Haoyan and Su Wanwan in the center of the dance floor.

Shang Haoyan's tie was red, which strangely harmonized with Su Wanwan's red evening gown.

A terrifying thought surfaced: Could it be that Shang Haoyan likes Su Wanwan?
