Chapter 148 Who gave you the courage to touch her!
Yun Zheng walked into the box gracefully, her fingertips casually twisting the pearl tassel earrings. The crystal chandelier cast light and shadows like broken diamonds on her eyelashes, making her smiling eyes even more sparkling.
"Miss Su Ningxuan, oh, no, it should be Miss Su cousin, if I hadn't come——"
She drew out her words and sat down gracefully in her latest Jimmy Choo crystal slippers. "Wouldn't that be a betrayal of your kindness, as you nearly called me yesterday?"
Yun Zheng understood the sarcasm. Su Ningxuan was not a biological daughter of the Su family, but only a distant cousin.
In order to climb up the social ladder, she climbed into the Su family by stepping on the corpses of her parents.
Although she is known to outsiders as the young lady of the Su family, everyone in the circle knows what kind of person she is.
However, no one wanted to create a feud with the Su family, so no one mentioned this matter.
Su Ningxuan's carefully drawn eyeliner suddenly jumped, and her face looked a little ugly.
What she hates most is when people call her a cousin!
But there were so many people at the class reunion, and she didn't want to embarrass herself at this time.
But she had no choice but to swallow it!
She is not done with Yun Zheng!
"I just thought that after graduation everyone would go their separate ways and there wouldn't be a chance for a good reunion, so I took this opportunity to get everyone together."
Su Ningxuan suppressed the anger in her heart and forced a stiff smile, "Yun Zheng, don't you agree?"
Yun Zheng lazily leaned against the leather sofa, her fingertips gently stroking the rim of the crystal glass as she chuckled barely audibly. "Yes, it's rare that Miss Su is so thoughtful that she even remembers to treat someone like me who's been 'kicked out'."
A few suppressed chuckles were heard in the box.
Su Ningxuan's fingers, which were painted with bright red nail polish, clenched suddenly, and her knuckles turned white.
She took a deep breath and changed the subject with a forced smile, "By the way, why didn't you bring your boyfriend? You grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have such a good relationship. Shouldn't you be engaged now?"
"Don't forget us old classmates when you're having a wedding. We are all witnesses to your love."
Yun Zheng's eyes moved and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"It's the 21st century now, and I didn't expect Miss Su to be even more out of touch with the news than a primitive person. Zhou Yushen and Yun Ruzhu's engagement party was so lively, and you still don't know about it."
The smile on Su Ningxuan's face froze instantly, and her expression became extremely ugly.
Before she could say anything, her little sister Lin Zhixiao jumped out first, "Yun Zheng, Ning Xuan also has good intentions, how can you say that to her?"
Lin Zhixiao's voice was shrill, with a hint of deliberate indignation.
"Not everyone knows about the engagement party. It's normal that Ning Xuan didn't pay attention to it and didn't know about it. But you, you were kicked out by the Yun family and the Zhou family broke off the engagement. Now you should be living on the streets, homeless, right?"
Yun Zheng gently shook the champagne glass in her hand, and the amber liquid flowed in the glass, reflecting a dazzling light.
She picked up the wine glass slowly and took a sip. "I didn't realize you were so concerned about my affairs."
Yun Zheng tapped the wall of the cup lightly with her fingertips, and the crystal cup emitted a clear buzzing sound.
She suddenly pulled out a gold-stamped black card from her platinum purse. The diamonds inlaid on the edge of the card drew a galaxy-like light band under the light. "Ms. Lin, since you're so concerned about my accommodation, why don't you take a look at this?"
The black card landed on the marble countertop with a crisp sound, and the surrounding area instantly emitted a series of gasps.
That was the supreme VIP card of the Royal City Bar, the most luxurious private club in the city. The entry threshold required proof of 1 billion in liquid assets.
"I just bought a lakeside villa last month, and I'm worried about finding someone to warm the house." Yun Zheng propped up her chin, tapping the gilded house number on the card with her gilded nails. "If Miss Lin really cares about me, why don't you move in tonight? It's a great opportunity to help me test the security system—"
She glanced at the cheap hem of Lin Zhixiao's skirt and said, "After all, some cockroaches always like to crawl into bright places."
Lin Zhixiao's face instantly turned purple, and his carefully styled curly hair trembled with anger.
Su Ningxuan suddenly reached out and pressed her trembling wrist, her rhinestone-studded nails digging deep into her skin. "Yun Zheng, you're such a joke! Your father is a building materials tycoon, how could he just live in someone else's house?"
"Building materials tycoon?" Yun Zheng suddenly laughed out loud, and the custom-made couple's watch on her wrist, the same model as Fu Linghe's, flashed a faint blue light. "The Lin Group pledged all its real estate three months ago. Miss Lin's haute couture of the season—"
She hooked her fingertips on the drawstring of Lin Zhixiao's skirt and said, "Cousin Su lent it to you, right? The thread ends haven't been cut cleanly yet."
Yun Zheng dominated the box, and she could silence everyone with just one word.
The man was leaning against the door at the entrance of the box, with the collar of his black silk shirt slightly open, revealing a dark red kiss mark on his collarbone.
The slender cartoon hand played with the Cullinan's car keys, and looked at Yun Zheng lovingly.
Lin Zhixiao was exposed by Yun Zheng's lies. He felt ashamed and angry. His face flushed red and veins popped on his forehead. "You... stop talking nonsense!"
She completely lost her mind and suddenly reached out to grab Yun Zheng's hair. "You bitch, abandoned by the Yun family and broken off your engagement by the Zhou family, what are you so proud of?"
Yun Zheng's eyes turned cold and she quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing this, Fu Linghe's eyes dimmed and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
He took a few steps forward and grabbed Lin Zhixiao's wrist. With a little force, Lin Zhixiao cried out in pain and staggered, almost falling.
"You dare to touch her?" Fu Linghe's voice was low and contained ice chips, revealing a chilling deterrent force.
He protected Yun Zheng behind him, a cold aura emanating from his body. "Who gave you the courage?"
Fu Linghe's eyes instantly turned as cold as ice. He tightened his grip on Lin Zhixiao's wrist a little more, and one could almost hear the crackling sound of bones rubbing against each other.
Lin Zhixiao's face turned pale with pain and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't even have the strength to struggle and could only let out a shrill scream.
"Ah——! Let me go! You...let me go!" Lin Zhixiao's voice was sharp and piercing, with a bit of hysterical madness.
Fu Linghe sneered, his voice was low and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
He suddenly let go of his hand, and Lin Zhixiao stumbled and fell to the ground, with a circle of purple bruises on his wrist.
Fu Linghe looked down at her, his eyes devoid of warmth. "Who are you? How dare you touch my wife, Fu Linghe!"
Lin Zhixiao slumped on the ground, covering his aching wrist, his eyes full of resentment and fear.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but was frightened by Fu Linghe's eyes and swallowed the words back.
Seeing this, Su Ningxuan hurried forward to smooth things over, forcing a stiff smile on her face, "Mr. Fu, don't be angry. You know she was just impulsive. She didn't mean it..."
"Impulsive?" Fu Linghe glanced at her coldly, his eyes full of disgust. "Do you also think that anyone can bully my woman, Fu Linghe?"
Su Ningxuan was frightened by his gaze and took a step back. The smile on her face froze instantly, and her voice became stammering, "Mr. Fu, you misunderstood. I...how dare I..."
"Don't dare? Is that so?" Fu Linghe sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Isn't this party today a trap you set up specifically for Yun Zheng? Why do you think that just because she was kicked out of the Yun family and her engagement was broken off by the Zhou family, you can just let her be trampled under your feet?"
Su Ningxuan's face turned pale in an instant. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
Everyone else in the box was also silent, no one dared to speak, for fear of angering the person in charge of the Fu Group.
Fu Linghe turned and looked at Yun Zheng. The coldness in his eyes instantly disappeared, replaced by full of tenderness and heartache.
He reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his voice low and gentle, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded by the speed at which his expression changed!
