Xu Haicheng saw Sheng Yunzhou and his female companion as soon as they entered the venue, but due to his position, he could only see their backs.
At first, he thought the lady looked familiar, and her back was really pleasing to the eye, so he paid more attention to her. When she turned around, he was surprised to find that it was Su Yi who had not been seen for a while.
Since the last time they met on the side of the road at the kindergarten, he unconsciously slowed down his car every time he passed by that area these days, and his eyes passed through the parents outside the window, but he never found Su Yi among them.
While doing this, he didn't know what to say if he really saw her.
He and Su Yi have known each other for quite some time, but they can never be said to have any friendship. It's just that he and Sheng Yanchuan are good friends, and Su Yi used to unilaterally regard herself as Sheng Yanchuan's girlfriend, so they have some intersections.
Later, Lin Luoluo appeared, and Su Yi always made things difficult for her. He chose to protect Lin Luoluo. After several conflicts, the two of them could be said to hate each other. If it weren't for the accident afterwards, they would probably have hated each other forever.
Of course, it doesn't mean that she doesn't hate him now.
Thinking of the previous two encounters and Su Yi's attitude of completely ignoring him, Xu Haicheng smiled bitterly with almost helplessness.
The other party is still the same, but he has changed without even knowing it.
Is it because of that child?
It is undeniable that although the child does not look like his child from the appearance and the attitude of Su Yi and the Su family, he sometimes can't help but think, if it is true...
The solution is very simple, a paternity test will do. He has been hesitant because he knows that if the answer is positive, he will take responsibility, and that means saying goodbye to the previous relationship and starting over.
He has been guarding Lin Luoluo for ten years, not far away or close, and he is not sure whether he can let it go completely and whether he still has the courage to start again.
This is why he has been hesitant.
But the change in his mentality is not just because of the child.
Xu Haicheng stared at Su Yi's delicate profile unconsciously. He found that she loved to smile now, her eyebrows were always relaxed, and her face no longer had the harshness she used to show when mocking others. Instead, it was lively and gorgeous to the extreme. Among the many ladies at the cocktail party, none could compare with her in appearance and temperament.
At this time, he also heard the discussions and speculations of other people on the scene about the two people.
Ridiculous.
This was Xu Haicheng's first reaction. No one knew Su Yi's feelings for Sheng Yanchuan better than him. How could she be involved with the other party's uncle?
However, there was another voice in his heart saying that if he was considering letting go of Lin Luoluo, why couldn't Su Yi?
He held the wine glass absentmindedly, and seemed to be talking to someone, but he didn't know what he was talking about. When Su Yi was left alone, before she could react, he was already standing in front of her.
"Long time no see."
Su Yi put a small cake full of cream into her mouth and took the time to look at him. When facing food, she was always in a particularly good mood, so she didn't mind talking to the biological father of her cheap son.
"What's the matter?" Su Yi asked, scooping up a spoonful of ice cream.
In this kind of occasion, everyone was busy socializing. Men talked about economy and cooperation, and women talked about fashion and jewelry. Most people held a glass of champagne and took a sip from time to time, just to moisten their lips. It's not uncommon for people to eat like her, but she is the only one who doesn't care about her figure and doesn't care about the eyes of others.
She eats generously but not rudely. Even when she talks while holding a spoon, she only makes people feel frank and cute. Xu Haicheng never knew that he could find so many advantages in Su Yi. Or is it because his mentality has changed that he feels different from before?
He took a sip of wine to cover up his absent-mindedness and said, "I just saw you here by accident. How are you recently?"
"It's delicious and drinkable. What do you think?" Su Yi glanced at him hurriedly, as if to say what nonsense you asked.
Xu Haicheng coughed lightly. No woman has ever been so inattentive when talking to him, not even Lin Luoluo, but he didn't feel offended at this moment.
Seeing Su Yi leaning forward to get the juice, but it was inconvenient to move because of her dress, he took the initiative to bring her a glass.
Su Yi then looked him straight in the eye, "Thank you." At
this moment, Xu Haicheng finally realized that in Su Yi's eyes, he was no more worthy of attention than a glass of juice, and she did not even hide this fact.
He had some questions to ask, such as why she had not gone to pick up the children recently, how did she know Sheng Yunzhou, and was their relationship really ambiguous?
But now that he knew, he had no right to ask these questions.
Xu Haicheng took a big sip of champagne, and when he swallowed it, he saw Sheng Yunzhou walking towards him, his eyes fixed on Su Yi the whole time, and he nodded to him only when he walked up to her.
He also greeted, "Mr. Sheng, nice to meet you."
Xu Haicheng heard that many years ago, his father and Sheng Yunzhou's eldest brother were good friends, but unfortunately the other party died young, and the only remaining head of the family seldom interacted with others due to poor health, so the friendship between the two families became as shallow as it is now.
It's not that he has never met Sheng Yunzhou, but the last time he saw him, his thin and sickly appearance was impressive. Now seeing him again, except for the lack of blood on his face, he looks no different from an ordinary person.
Did the Sheng family find a famous doctor with superb medical skills?
Or is it that because his mental state has improved, his physical state has also improved?
As for the source of his change - Xu Haicheng subconsciously looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi also noticed Sheng Yunzhou. She remembered that she came to the cocktail party to be the other party's female companion, so she put down the food in her hand and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Sheng Yunzhou shook his head, took out the handkerchief from his chest pocket and handed it to her, "Every time I go out for social events, Qin's mother will make midnight snacks when I go back. If you want to eat, you should remember to save some space."
"Of course, no matter how delicious these desserts are, they can't compare to Qin's mother's craftsmanship." Su Yi immediately gave up the idea of picking up the plate again, took the handkerchief and said thank you.
"Do you know Mr. Xu?" Sheng Yunzhou looked at the two of them and asked gently.
Su Yi pursed her lips with the handkerchief and nodded, "Of course I know him. In addition to being good friends with Sheng Yanchuan, we are also high school alumni, right?" She asked Xu Haicheng for confirmation.
However, Xu Haicheng's attention was drawn to the content of the two people's conversation.
Hearing them casually mentioning words like home and supper, could it be that the two of them were living together now?
He found it hard to believe.
It was not long ago that Su Yi was still raising the child alone. Now it has been less than a month. What happened in the meantime?
Xu Haicheng was a little dazed. He just nodded when he heard Su Yi's words. He drank a sip of wine in an upset mood. Seeing the two of them talking in low voices, he couldn't stay here any longer. Someone happened to greet him somewhere else. He said excuse me and left.
"Don't you need to socialize with others?" Su Yi asked Sheng Yunzhou when she saw Xu Haicheng leaving.
Sheng Yunzhou said, "I have met everyone I should greet."
At the cocktail party, except for a few older people, there were not many people who needed him to take the initiative to greet. There were quite a few people who wanted to talk to him, but no one approached them, so they could only watch from afar.
Su Yi said "oh" and looked around the venue. All the people present were successful people, all of them were full of ambition and behaved calmly. The women they brought with them were also well-dressed and luxuriously dressed. However, once she knew that Qin Ma had prepared supper for them at home, these things no longer appealed to her.
Sheng Yunzhou probably saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Let's run away."
Su Yi raised her eyebrows, "Can we leave now?"
Sheng Yunzhou's answer was to directly take her hand and say sorry to the host of the cocktail party. The two of them left in the same way as when
they came, in the eyes of everyone. He said sorry, it was a polite word, out of courtesy, who could really say that he shouldn't leave early? You know, his appearance was unexpected to everyone, and it was a surprise and a proud thing for the host.
But no one expected that he would actually leave holding Miss Su's hand. Was this a response to what others had said?
Could Miss Su, who had fallen into the dust, really be able to fly back to the top, and even to a much higher level than before?
After the two left, the discussion did not stop, but became even louder because the parties involved were not present.
Someone suddenly said, "Could it be that the illegitimate child of the Su family is Mr. Sheng's?" As
soon as this was said, there was a small silence at the banquet, and then several ladies covered their mouths and exclaimed.
"Maybe it's true."
"I think it's very likely, otherwise, why do you think Mr. Sheng likes Su Yi?" The person who said this had a bit of sour tone.
Of course, she was not the only one who was sour.
They may not really like Sheng Yunzhou. Although he is good-looking and gentlemanly, his sickly body makes people stay away from him.
But he has the Sheng family. If he really likes her, won’t she be able to live a life of luxury for the rest of her life? And if they have a child with him, won’t the Sheng family belong to them in the future?
Just thinking about it makes people excited, not to mention that Su Yi is already in that position, how can she not be jealous!
As for Su Yi, she is a little confused when she sees her hand being held by Sheng Yunzhou.
This... should be what she wants, right?
Even though she is a devil and has never been in love, she has some experience in being liked by others. After all, in the last life, her cheap brother Xiao Yan also had such thoughts.
But the problem is, when Xiao Yan liked her, she didn't know that he was a demon wolf, so she had no pressure to reject him. Now that she knows who Sheng Yunzhou is, she feels a little...
Well, she does feel a little subtle. It happened once, twice, and both times, the demon wolf had no memory of the past, so why did he fall in love with her?
Could he have forgotten that when they were in the demon world, they rolled in a mud pit, slept in the same cave, and they were just short of wearing the same pants. That was a brotherly friendship! Why is it so passionate!
