There were few people present who didn't know Lu Qi.
In particular, several inland families that had some dealings with the Lu family had long heard of the scandal between him and Su Fanxing, the actress with negative news. Now that they saw that it was indeed true, they all started whispering to each other.
Su Fanxing had long been accustomed to other people's unfriendly looks and didn't care.
Instead, Lu Qi naturally chased after her, stretched out his arms generously, and signaled her that she could hold him for a while.
She seemed caught off guard by this situation. Her eyelashes drooped, resting on the arm that was hooked around Lu Qi's arm, and she raised her eyes to meet the man's. She didn't shed the tears of a heroine in an idol drama being saved by a knight. Instead, she asked him lightly, "Do you really want to see this excitement? Aren't you afraid that the Lu family will be affected?"
Of course, she didn't think that Lu Qi would be so kind and come to bring warmth.
Most likely, Wen Yi had told him something, and he had come all the way here just to have fun.
As expected, Lu Qi wasn't one to shy away and admitted generously, "Of course. I also want to see how the arrogant King of Hell in Beijing gets humiliated in Hong Kong."
Zhou Moshi's marriage with the Su family was not a low-key matter, but only a few people knew the inside story.
Lu Qi was really curious. Even if Zhou Moshi was killed here by Su Huaiquan, he still had to break off the engagement for Su Fanxing...it seemed like a very exciting drama.
He didn't miss the opportunity to witness this great show with his own eyes.
Lu Qi spoke confidently and didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
When he whispered softly in her ear, his gesture was so intimate that many people who saw it thought that the two were talking about some private things between lovers.
Naturally, unknown to the two of them, their whispers were being watched intently by a pair of eyes on the second floor...
Su Fanxing was speechless about this black-hearted lotus.
But considering that he had just helped her, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes and obediently put her porcelain-white arm around Lu Qi's elbow.
She didn't care as her knuckles brushed against the high-quality fabric of her suit.
The two of them found a corner to sit down casually. Su Fanxing was even more relaxed and casual as if he was alone, and his eyes fell directly on the direction of the second floor.
He whispered to Lu Qi, "How about making a bet? My room... has now been converted into a warehouse by Su Luoyue."
Lu Qi remained silent, his eyebrows slightly raised, as if he had not expected that Su Fanxing would still be in the mood to tease him at this point.
"The Su family is quite interesting."
Perhaps it was to verify his ability to bring up things that were not relevant to him.
Just as he finished asking, the voice they least wanted to hear came from behind them: "Fanxing, welcome home."
"..." After hearing this disgusting voice, Su Fanxing's pupils reflecting the light trembled. She turned around and met those familiar eyes.
The man was wearing an old-fashioned Italian couture suit, and even at a banquet, he wore a high tie. His suit and shirt were wrinkle-free. He truly had a gentle and elegant appearance.
However, beneath this appearance, it could not conceal the fierce gaze of Su Huaiquan.
There was a faint smile on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Su Fanxing tightened her grip around Lu Qi's arm, her cold gaze glaring fearlessly at Su Huaiquan. It was as if all the thorns on her body had stood up, and she was completely on the defensive.
"Going back to what home? In this world, does anyone need an invitation to go home?" She resisted the urge to slap the man, picked up the champagne on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
He didn't even want to give Su Huaiquan any extra feedback.
I thought this guy would continue to pester me for a while, but unexpectedly, he just pursed his lips and turned around to greet other guests.
Su Fanxing did not feel relieved because he let her go so easily.
The inexplicable panic in her heart became even stronger, almost gushing out and almost suffocating her.
What exactly does Su Huaiquan want to do?
The next second, she got the answer.
Because the man Su Huaiquan was smiling and entertaining... was nodding slightly at him, and the two of them were chatting casually.
The profile of his face reflected in Su Fanxing's eyes almost sucked away all her rationality.
Even after five years.
Even though that profile was a bit more calm and sinister than the youthful and sunny one before, she could still recognize that person as Xu Jinyan in the crowd at a glance.
How is it possible...how could he be here?
Almost in the next second, Su Fanxing realized why.
She wondered why Su Huaiquan was so easy to talk to and let her into the Su family's door so easily.
She was not stupid, and she knew very well that Mr. Su's birthday party was such a grand event, and the list of invited guests had been screened through layers of screening. If someone said that Su Huaiquan didn't do it on purpose... not only her, but even the servants wouldn't believe it.
Su Fanxing closed her eyelashes to hide her intense panic and the pounding of her heart caused by seeing her scar up close.
For some reason, she even felt uncomfortable and nauseous staying in this hypocritical banquet.
"I'm going to the bathroom to touch up my makeup." She said to Lu Qi and wanted to escape.
Lu Qi was just about to speak, reminding her that it would be better not to leave her side at this time.
But before he could do anything, someone patted his shoulder.
"Hi, Lu Qi?" He was a blond-haired, blue-eyed man who looked like a director or screenwriter I had worked with before.
Lu Qi was tied up by him and turned around to respond politely.
When I turned around again, I could no longer see Su Fanxing...
————
Su Fanxing is not someone who likes to run away.
She even imagined the scene of reuniting with Xu Jinyan countless times. As the superior, she wanted to rush forward with confidence and ask him if he knew how outrageous his mistake was back then.
But now that she saw him up close, she suddenly felt as if all her strength had been drained away.
Perhaps, no one will care about the truth of that matter from beginning to end.
She didn't really want him to repent.
Now for her... as long as there is one person who believes in her and supports her unconditionally, that is enough.
She looked in the mirror, touched up her lipstick, which had been rubbed off by the alcohol, and ran her hands under cold water. It seemed that only this biting cold could completely bring her back to her senses.
Su Fanxing suddenly realized that she missed Zhou Moshi very much.
I miss his body temperature and the familiar scent of pine when he stands beside me.
She thought about it, took out her phone, and edited a message to the black avatar on top -
Su Fanxing: [Why haven't you come yet? Your fiancée is waiting anxiously...]
Fiancée, a double entendre.
A smile inexplicably appeared on the corners of her lips, she lightly stroked the screen with her fingertips and pressed the send button.
"Fanxing, I'm back." A long-lost voice came to my ears.
