Chapter 90 The Dinner

With the downfall of Li Shuwen's power, Su Fengxian, whose interests were deeply intertwined with hers, was the first to be affected.

A lifetime of hard work and struggle has resulted in a family fortune that has been lightly sacrificed to the heavens.

Around the Lunar New Year, Su Fengxian was prosecuted for financial fraud. He managed to reduce his sentence to six years by pulling strings.

Six years. When Su Fengxian received the verdict, he was heartbroken and aged instantly.

All of the Su family's assets have been seized by the court, and Su Hui is currently abroad, facing a dilemma.

Unfortunately, he was very concerned about his reputation, and as soon as his family's scandal broke, his PDF was circulating in various overseas student groups that very night.

Having been pushed to this point, Su Hui was unwilling to slink back to China and be laughed at by his cronies there.

So he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it, putting on a brave face and creating the persona of someone who "also has a considerable amount of trust funds under his name".

Unable to pay the rent, he found a local boyfriend, and the two of them huddled together in a dark, smelly little room, pretending not to see the disdainful looks from his boyfriend's parents.

But the persona still needs to be maintained, which requires spending money.

Su Hui had no choice but to find some high-end events that local classmates couldn't attend, and go there to work as a waiter, working like a slave all night long.

The next day, he squandered all the money he had earned.

He knew that this kind of life couldn't last. Perhaps many people had already discovered his true situation, so they deliberately messed with him, teased him, and wanted him to indulge in a life of luxury to prove his strength.

Admitting that your family is bankrupt is tantamount to admitting that you are inferior to everyone else, and from then on you can be bullied by others without any ability to fight back...

How could he possibly accept that?

Therefore, when I saw Su Pu again today, standing in the crowd, wearing a suit that hadn't been officially released yet, she looked as beautiful and elegant as a kitten—

Su Hui was absolutely furious.

If only I had known of Li Jichuan's deep affection sooner, if only I had married Li Jichuan in place of Su Pu...

Their family would have been on a meteoric rise by now, and his father wouldn't be imprisoned, even though they are separated by thousands of miles.

And now, the person standing in the center of the crowd, dressed in haute couture, will be him.

"What are you doing?"

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when the foreman returned.

"Going to deliver alcohol! Tsk, have you lost your mind?"

The foreman had long heard about the decadent behavior of these international students. If Su hadn't groveled and begged him to satisfy his vanity, why would he have given him such a high-paying job?

Su Hui has been working every day lately, and her arms are aching terribly.

Suddenly carrying a large tray of wine, he had to walk very slowly, lest he make a mistake and cause another accident.

Su Pu, however, seemed to have no time to pay attention to a lowly waiter like him...

etc.

Su Hui suddenly realized, wasn't Su Pu stupid?

I heard he's forgotten everything from his past and can't recognize anyone anymore.

Based on this assumption, does Su Pu not recognize him either?

After calming herself down, Su Hui carefully approached the group of people, carrying the tray.

Li Jichuan was in a wheelchair and was slightly shorter than the others. Su Hui deliberately approached him from the side, her body covered by the others, and respectfully served them wine.

"Sir, Martini"

Su Hui moved closer to Su Pu, who also had a habit of looking into other people's eyes when communicating.

Their eyes met, and Su Hui keenly observed the changes in the other person's expression.

But Su Pu's clear eyes became even clearer and more captivating as she stared at him, nodding politely in thanks.

Su Pu handed Li Jichuan a glass of wine, and then handed himself a glass, holding them in his hand.

As Su Hui left in surprise, she happened to catch a glimpse of Li Jichuan's fingers intertwined with Su Pu's, like a bored young couple in class, so intimate and affectionate.

A burning jealousy raged in Su Hui's heart. Su Pu not only got everything, but was also loved and pampered like that.

And the only person in the world who would truly love him is now suffering in prison—

Su Pu, that's your father, I'm your brother, why are you happy alone?

Su was extremely agitated when he suddenly remembered that he still had a bottle of Rush in his bag!

Oh!

...

The evening was bustling with guests, but Li Jichuan still sensed a potential danger.

I thought that after Su Fengxian went to prison, Su would wake up and stop making stupid mistakes.

Now it seems that this person is really stubborn!

Suddenly, Su Hui disappeared from her fixed position, and Li Jichuan immediately became alert, constantly looking in that direction.

Su Pu turned around, looked at him curiously, and then followed his gaze:

There's nothing there...

"fine……"

Li Jichuan smiled with relief. If Su Pu were to be harmed under his nose this time, he would truly be unable to forgive himself.

"Xiao Pu, are you sleepy? We have a long flight tomorrow, why don't we go back and rest first?"

"Hey, Lee! This is just the beginning, why are you leaving?" The host of the banquet blocked their way. "I thought you were looking around because you were trying to find a dance partner for your partner!"

Glenn has a prosthetic left arm, and his wife is deaf and mute. The couple are straightforward and never shy away from joking about their disabilities.

This man is old enough to be Li Jichuan's father, yet he doesn't hold back when joking with him.

"When the dance starts, Lee, don't just sit around. Join the orchestra and play the triangle!"

Li Jichuan was speechless for a moment, then said, "I'd rather play the violin."

These words had no effect whatsoever. Glenn smiled, having at least managed to stop the man.

To accommodate their plans to go home the next day, the ball started half an hour earlier than originally scheduled.

When Su returned to the banquet hall with the medicine, the lights had already dimmed, and the band was playing soothing and romantic dance music.

Supu's dance partner was Glenn's wife, who was very interested in his coffee classes, which were specifically for the deaf and mute.

Seeing that Su Pu was clumsy in his dance steps, they were especially enthusiastic in teaching him to dance, and Su Pu soon smiled.

Su lowered her eyes, walked along the wall to the bar, and poured wine into a clean glass.

Then he clenched the medicine bottle tightly in his palm, waiting for the right moment.

Finally, the medley ended, and Su Pu, in a gentlemanly manner, led his dance partner to the sidelines and found Li Jichuan.

As more people gathered over there, Su took the opportunity to approach with the wine in her arms.

After serving everyone drinks, Su Hui stood out of Li Jichuan's sight and dropped her sleeve.

“Sir…”

There were still a few glasses of wine on the tray. He couldn't squat down, so he gave Su Pu a pleading look.

While Su Pu squats down to pick something up, Su will open the Rush bottle and drop it on the ground.

"Sorry..."

He asked in a low, awkward voice in English, "Would you mind if I brought it over?"

But Su Pu had just picked up his cufflinks and stood up straight when he heard this, and his gaze went downwards.

Splash—

Perhaps due to his overconfidence, Su Hui suddenly felt his arm go weak, the tray tilted, and several glasses of wine spilled forward.

And standing in front of them were Glenn and his wife.

The amber liquid stained their white dresses with varying shades of yellow. The man instinctively exclaimed in surprise, while the woman, distressed by her beautiful dress, looked reproachfully at the culprit.

Ironically, at a banquet held at his own home, where all his important business partners were invited, he was splashed with water by his own waiter...

Hearing the commotion, the foreman squeezed through the crowd and pulled the stunned Su Hui to apologize repeatedly.

"How about you, Xiao Hui, buy the Brookes a new suit instead..."

Su Hui was on the verge of tears, "Do I really have to pay compensation?"

They don't seem to lack the money.

"Then what can we do? They're in a bad mood right now, you can't just leave them without doing anything..."

Those two suits cost more than half a year's salary for him, so the foreman certainly couldn't let the matter remain unresolved, otherwise he would be the one to suffer later.

Why not take this opportunity to propose a solution? Whether the Glenn couple accepts the compensation or not, it won't be his fault.

Su Hui's mind was in a mess, and she instinctively refused, "Where would I get the money to pay for this?"

"Of course there is," the supervisor said anxiously. "Su Hui, you told me during the interview that you didn't care how low the hourly wage was, that you were just here to experience life."

"I'm really asking you to spend some money, why are you still unhappy... Besides, it's not like you're actually spending any..."

The two whispered for a long time, and Glenn's gaze grew increasingly unpleasant, as if they were deliberately making things difficult for the waiters.

Just then, the man in the wheelchair suddenly exclaimed "Hey!" and pointed to something on the ground, asking, "What's this?"
