Wherever his deep eyes fell, everyone felt a sense of oppression.
Su Tingting's breath hitched slightly as she watched the man walk in with a composed gait. Looking at his aloof and cold face, she felt that he looked somewhat familiar, yet she couldn't help but be captivated by his charisma.
She gripped the champagne glass in her hand and walked over. "Hey handsome, who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before."
Lu Rang glanced at her, his gaze devoid of any emotion: "Don't talk to me, I'm here to find someone."
Su Tingting's expression changed instantly; she had never been rejected like this before.
She clenched her clothes in anger, pretending not to care: "In this circle, there's no one I, Su Tingting, don't know. Tell me, who do you want to find?"
Upon hearing her name, Lu Rang narrowed his eyes, a sharp, cold glint flashing within them.
Before he could speak, he saw the figure appear at the top of the stairs on the second floor, his expression softened, and he walked past Su Tingting.
Ignored by him, Su Tingting lost all face. She turned around to lash out, only to see the man walk up the steps and extend his arm to Shang Wu.
Shang Wu smiled slightly, met his gaze, and took his arm as they walked down.
The two seemed to be walking a red carpet, turning the entire banquet into their fashion show.
The man and woman were both handsome and beautiful; they were an absolute feast for the eyes.
Su Tingting's expression changed, and she took a few steps forward: "Shang Wu, this isn't your boyfriend, is it!"
Lu Rang pursed his lips slightly, glanced at Shang Wu, and looked at her with a hint of expectation for recognition in his eyes.
Shang Wu openly took Lu Rang's arm and admitted, "Yes, he is my boyfriend, Lu Rang."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Lu Rang's eyes were as deep as night, and a pleased smile curved his lips.
"So, what exactly is his background? You keep saying that your boyfriend is more powerful and influential than anyone here, but I don't see that coming from you."
Su Tingting looked Lu Rang up and down, feeling a little jealous.
Putting aside his background, his looks and figure are enough to outshine all the spoiled brats in high society.
Shangwu is really enjoying his meal!
What right does a seductive slut who's been played by men for three years have?
Shang Wu paused for a moment, which was unusual.
She knew that the Yu family kept a low profile, which was both a family tradition and a way to conceal their brilliance.
As far as she knew, no member of the Yu family had ever publicly announced a relationship in Lincheng's high society circles.
Shang Wu was at a loss for words when her hand was suddenly gripped tightly.
Lu Rang glanced at Su Tingting casually: "What I'm like is none of your business."
"That's very relevant! Just now, Shang Wu was acting all high and mighty, saying she wouldn't marry into any wealthy family in Lincheng, and that you're better than all those rich kids. If you don't reveal your background, then Shang Wu is just pretending to be high and mighty to save face, right?"
Su Tingting made a few sarcastic remarks, then crossed her arms and waited for him to reveal his identity.
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Su Tingting, do you know that if I make one phone call to President Su, he will immediately drag you back and lock you up in solitary confinement?"
Su Tingting's eyes flickered.
She knew it was true.
My father mentioned a couple of days ago that after Chengzhou was restructured into the Shang Group, its business aligned with theirs, and now it is an indispensable partner.
But now, in order to undermine Shang Wu, Su Tingting doesn't care about anything else.
She scoffed, "Is it meaningful to threaten me with this? Tell me, what's the story behind your boyfriend?"
"you………"
Shang Wu was angry and wanted to step forward to settle accounts with Su Tingting.
Suddenly, Lu Rang grabbed her wrist.
Lu Rang didn't look at her, but nodded slightly to the man at the entrance.
Upon seeing the newcomer, the crowd forgot all about the spectacle and instantly erupted in excitement.
"Mr. Jiu has arrived!"
"Mr. Jiu has never liked these kinds of occasions, why is he here?"
Shang Wu was also surprised to see who had come.
The other party is Jiuliang, which is in the port logistics business and handles the entire maritime freight logistics business in Lincheng.
As is widely known, this is the Yu family's business domain.
The reason Jiuliang was able to start this company was because of the investment and support from the Yu family.
It can be said that he is the only boss in the entire Lincheng who has a partnership with the Yu family.
Seemingly fearing that someone might try to curry favor with the Yu family, Jiu Liang has always kept to himself and never attends banquets.
What's wrong with me today?
Upon seeing him approach, everyone rushed over to greet him.
Jiuliang waved his hand, refusing everyone's attempts to get close to him, and walked straight to Su Tingting's side.
Su Tingting was quite flattered and quickly extended her hand: "President Jiu..."
Before she could finish speaking, Jiu Liang completely ignored her and bowed respectfully to Lu Rang.
"You've come to my son's banquet without even saying a word? I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."
