Finally, under everyone's astonished gazes, Su Yuxi gently bit her lower lip, took two steps to the side in a defiant manner, patted Chu Juan's shoulder, and gestured for him to sit down a bit.
She then calmly and gracefully sat down between him and Fu Huaijin.
This scene was like a stone suddenly thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that shocked everyone in the private room. Everyone had only one thought in their minds: Su Yuxi deserves to die for sitting on the golden throne that they never dared to dream of.
Time seemed to stand still in the private room. Everyone was waiting for Su Yuxi's death, but ten seconds passed, twenty seconds passed, half a minute passed...
Aside from glancing at him lightly, Fu Huaijin made no further move.
Lu Yunzhou, watching from the side, felt his heart clench. Seeing that Fu Huaijin wasn't angry, he assumed it was because of him. He immediately stood up, reached out to pull her away, and hurriedly explained, "Brother Huaijin, Xixi doesn't know the rules, please don't be angry."
Before his hand could even touch Su Yuxi, a long arm suddenly reached out and blocked it.
Fu Huaijin's eyes were deep and dark, devoid of emotion, yet they could inexplicably exert an invisible pressure, making one feel as if they were in a terrifying place.
Lu Yunzhou knew his brother's temperament, and his questioning gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them.
Fu Huaijin hasn't been back for many years, and he's certain he doesn't know Xixi.
And hasn't he always disliked women getting close to him?
Why should he help her?
He didn't believe this brother was so kind.
"Brother Huaijin".
"If she doesn't let you touch her, then don't touch her." Fu Huaijin's tone was calm, and he didn't say much, but it sent a chill down Fu Huaijin's spine.
Su Yuxi almost wanted to applaud the man beside her.
This man is sick; he keeps demanding that she do things she doesn't like.
I used to fawn over you when you were my sugar daddy, but now I don't like you anymore. I'm lucky if I don't mess with you.
I'm going to talk to him about breaking up tonight. I'm not going to put up with all those women he's seeing anymore.
Forget it, let's wait a couple of days until she goes back and sells those luxury bags and clothes, otherwise it will be difficult to move them.
Lu Yunzhou's face was taut, his fingers tightened in a restrained manner, and his usually affectionate eyes looked at Su Yuxi with tenderness and affection, yet also concealed a subtle struggle.
Jiang Shiqian appeared beside him at some point, gently took Lu Yunzhou's hand, and looked at Fu Huaijin with tender and soft eyes, like a newly blooming flower, both fragile and beautiful, yet containing an undeniable resilience: "Brother Huaijin, Brother Yunzhou was just afraid that Miss Su might not understand your rules and offend you, so he was a little nervous."
After cleverly rescuing Lu Yunzhou from the predicament, her gaze fell on Su Yuxi, who was sitting gracefully. A gentle smile appeared on her lips, creating a sense of ease in the tense atmosphere. She spoke in the tone of an older sister advising a naive younger sister, "Miss Su, why don't you get up first? Brother Huaijin just came back. You may not know that he doesn't like anyone other than Sister Liu Ying getting close to him. If Huaijin gets angry, even Yunzhou can't protect you."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the private room became even quieter, as if everyone's breath had stopped.
Su Yuxi, however, didn't seem to care. She casually crossed her arms, leaned back against the sofa, and looked at her with a cold, arrogant gaze mixed with a hint of disdain, as if she were looking at a grasshopper in autumn: "Oh."
She heard what he said, but she didn't do it; instead, she deliberately moved closer.
"This man can't be near? Bah, he's a pervert, he's dragged her back to bed time and time again."
Someone, seemingly enjoying the drama, chuckled and said, "Miss Jiang, I think you're overthinking it. Miss Su has been sitting here for so long, and Young Master Fu hasn't uttered a single word. Since he hasn't spoken, your coming now seems like you're just stirring up trouble."
Jiang Shiqian's face flushed when her secret was exposed. She bit her red lips lightly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, and her large, sunken eyes, thin as they were, were filled with tears, making her look exceptionally pitiful.
"No...yes, I'm just worried that Brother Yunzhou and Brother Huaijin might develop a rift."
But it seems no one buys her story. As for the brotherhood between Fu Huaijin and Lu Yunzhou, it's not necessarily that good.
Aside from their school days when they kept in touch quite often, Fu Huaijin rarely contacted everyone after leaving campus. The most frequent contact was about business matters. Whenever he came back and had free time, they would get together, and this ambiguous brotherhood has continued to this day.
If an ordinary woman were to throw herself at someone like that, she would indeed be thrown out, but Su Yuxi is no ordinary woman.
Even her proximity caused Fu Huaijin's muscles to completely relax, and the majesty and distance he inadvertently exuded slowly dissipated, making him no longer seem so unapproachable or difficult to get close to.
If this woman comes to cause trouble and gets Su Yuxi away, he won't care whether she's a patient or not; he'll still kick her out without hesitation.
The man stopped talking. Everyone knew how clumsy her excuse was. If they really had feelings for each other, they wouldn't be affected by a woman. In the end, she just wanted to use Fu Huaijin's words to embarrass Su Yuxi.
Even if Lu Yunzhou could isolate Su Yuxi from others, if Fu Huaijin added fuel to the fire, she would have the opportunity to make her disappear from this circle completely.
But Fu Huaijin wasn't a fool like Lu Yunzhou. He knew exactly what Jiang Shiqian was up to.
If she wants to cause trouble for someone, she should first consider her own limitations. She is no longer the little princess of the Jiang family, and she should be clear about her own position.
Seeing Jiang Shiqian's discomfiture, Su Yuxi gently patted her and made a playful face, just to annoy her.
The next second she seemed to be really angry, clutching her stomach in pain, swaying her body, and slowly squatting down.
"Qianqian." Lu Yunzhou suddenly became nervous, picked her up in his arms, and followed her out without saying goodbye to anyone.
The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.
The way he looked at Su Yuxi became very subtle.
Why is it so quiet?
While everyone was still pondering the relationship between Fu Huaijin and Su Yuxi, another woman entered through the door.
It's Liu Ying, the one Jiang Shiqian mentioned earlier.
Liu Ying is very beautiful, with delicate features and a high nose bridge. She is wearing a black suit and has short, neat, shoulder-length hair. Her eyes reveal a sense of confidence and determination, and you can tell at a glance that she is a strong woman in the business world.
She was a favorite of Fu Huaijin, and everyone treated her with great respect: "Oh, Secretary Liu is here. Look how long it's been since the event started. She has to punish herself with three drinks."
Liu Ying is a very outgoing and easygoing person. She immediately picked up three glasses of wine from the table and started drinking.
But out of the corner of her eye, she kept looking at the woman sitting next to Fu Huaijin.
