I could feel the arm I was holding stiffen for a moment, and my whole body tensed up as well.
Zhong Ke'er turned to Xie Yunkai and asked, "What's wrong?"
"fine……"
Xie Yunkai came to his senses and looked at Ye Li again, only to see that she had already gone to the center of the banquet hall.
Zhong Ke'er gave him a strange look.
It's always like this.
Whenever she brought him out, he would become cold and aloof, even losing the slightest smile he had in the lab.
Despite the coldness, the thought that one day this face would smile at her, play tricks on her, and even the sadness in his eyes would only be for her made Zhong Ke'er feel that it didn't seem so bad.
She was determined to win over Xie Yunkai!
The birthday celebrant is Su Nanjin, the second young master of the Su family, who is 29 years old this year.
The Su family is large and powerful, on par with the Qin family, and the two families have many business dealings.
Qin Zhongsong took a liking to Su Nanjin because Su Nanjin was also the son of President Su and another woman.
In short, Su Nanjin is also an illegitimate child.
The only difference is that Mrs. Su is very shrewd. When she found out that President Su had an illegitimate child, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened suicide, and then quickly informed her family.
Before President Su could react, her brothers-in-law had already taken care of everything.
Su Nanjin was brought back to the Su family before she was even a month old, and she has grown up under Madam Su's watchful eye for many years.
Nowadays, almost all of the Su family's businesses are in the hands of Su Nanchen, the eldest son born to Madam Su.
Both Qin Zhongsong and President Su knew that Su Nanjin's fate had already been decided when she left her mother and child.
Because his surname is Su, he is destined for a life of luxury.
But for him to get involved in the family business and divide up the property that originally belonged to Su Nanchen was nothing short of a pipe dream.
Not to mention Madam Su, even Madam Su's family would not sit idly by.
The truth is, Su Nanjin is quite adept at being a playboy.
After returning from studying abroad, he neither joined his own company nor started his own business. Instead, he relied on the shares given to him by General Manager Su to receive millions of yuan in dividends every year, living a life of luxury.
All year round, he's either in bars and parking lots, or at horse farms and golf courses.
They lived a carefree life, with a future they could almost predict.
Ye Li glanced at Su Nanjin's handsome and flamboyant face, then turned to Qin Chu and whispered, "President Qin must think that you two both like cars and have common topics."
Qin Chu nodded. "Maybe."
"So, do you have feelings for him?"
Ye Li asked.
Qin Chu stared at Su Nanjin for a long time, then asked instead of answering, "Don't you think he lives like a fake person?"
? ? ?
Ye Li looked back again.
A young man in his twenties, wearing a white suit.
His smile was radiant.
Everyone says that the second young master of the Su family is the most playful, but he doesn't have a trace of decadent debauchery on him.
Knowing his own status, he neither competed nor fought for anything. Even on the surface, he showed all sorts of respect to Madam Su, as if she were truly his mother.
Qin Chu curled his lip, "That's so fake!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was an illegitimate child, Su Nanjin would be considered a popular candidate among the powerful young men in the capital. At banquets of the wealthy, the ladies and gentlemen would stare at him with burning eyes.
But the reality is that they're stuck in a rut, not good enough for high-end jobs and not good enough for low-end ones.
Families with a better social standing than the Su family would never even consider Su Nanjin.
Those who are not as good as the Su family are also filled with all sorts of dilemmas.
And so, time has passed and things have dragged on until now.
"So, it passed?"
Ye Li asked.
Qin Chu nodded and raised his glass to Ye Li.
Before the wine glass could even touch the glass, a magnetic voice sounded from behind, "Miss Qin..."
Turning around, she was met with Su Nanjin's bright smile.
"Mrs. Fu, it's an honor to see you here!"
Nodding to Ye Li, Su Nanjin looked at Qin Chu and asked, "Is it convenient? Can we talk in private?"
"inconvenient!"
Qin Chu spoke bluntly, "Madam Fu is my half-sister, not an outsider. Just say what you have to say."
As if she was not surprised by Qin Chu's words, Su Nanjin nodded and said bluntly, "Aside from our elders, we have no personal relationship. We both know why you are here."
“You have your own pursuits and will certainly not follow Mr. Qin’s ideas. And I don’t want to face another Ms. Qin and ruin someone’s happiness. So, how about we make a deal?”
Qin Chu raised an eyebrow. "What kind of deal?"
Let's pretend to be dating!
Su Nanjin smiled and said, "In this way, President Qin will no longer arrange blind dates for you, and the Su family will stop plotting. We can all breathe a sigh of relief. And during the so-called dating period, you are free. You can date whoever you want, or anything else, as long as you can keep it a secret from President Qin and the Su family, how about it?"
His attitude was overly frank and open, and his expression as he looked at Qin Chu was exceptionally serious.
It was as if he could comply with any of Qin Chu's requests as long as she nodded.
This deal is beneficial to both parties.
"trade?"
Watching the champagne bubble and swirl in the glass, Qin Chu looked up at Su Nanjin and said, "But I don't think I've profited at all!"
Don't say Qin Zhongsong didn't force her.
Even when Yao Wanying pressured her, she only brooded for one night before snapping back.
If it doesn't work out, we can just keep arguing next time.
However, cooperating with Su Nanjin made Qin Chu inexplicably feel that behind the huge temptation lay troubles she couldn't yet imagine.
