"Hey, don't say that. Maybe there's something more to it. After all, everything happened so coincidentally!"
"What secrets could there be? They're just afraid their past can't be exposed, so they're using their adoptive parents' lives to gain wealth and status. Maybe..."
"Su Cheng!" the woman quickly stopped her.
"Okay, okay, okay!" The woman named Su Cheng waved her hand impatiently, but her tone was filled with undisguised sourness.
Two years ago, he went to the school to find Su Yang, but unexpectedly ran into Yan Shao, who was still Ling Jingzhou.
As always, she was arrogant and domineering, casually mocking a man who, in her opinion, was ordinary except for his handsome face.
But life is like a drama, and soon after, he transformed into Mr. Yan's long-lost son!
It would be a lie to say she didn't regret it; she regretted it for two whole years.
Yan Jingzhou never caused her any trouble, but because of this, she lived in constant fear for two whole years!
They feared that one day the Su family would be brought down by someone, and that the other party would be Yan Jingzhou.
She feared that one day when she woke up, her dirty secrets would be exposed by someone, and the person who exposed them would be Yan Jingzhou.
I fear that one day I might be kidnapped while walking down the street, and the kidnapper would be Yan Jingzhou.
But the lack of these things only made her more and more apprehensive.
If her father hadn't forced her to attend today, to find out which outstanding young talents would be there, she wouldn't have come to this damn youth banquet!
Moreover, judging from Yan Jingzhou's indifferent gaze, it seemed he had no idea who she was!
He was seething with anger, but he could only suppress it and couldn't do anything about it!
Seeing that Su Yang hadn't spoken for a long time, the woman next to her quickly took her arm in a conciliatory manner, "Su Cheng, don't be angry. There are too many people here, so some things are not convenient to say!"
Su Cheng hadn't said anything yet.
"Bang!" A loud sound of glass shattering came from behind them, startling the two, who quickly turned around.
Then they saw a girl of about eighteen or nineteen looking at them with a gloomy expression.
The light in his dark eyes was deep and still, yet there was a hint of barely perceptible crimson in the depths of his eyes.
Su Cheng snapped out of her daze and glanced at the shattered glass scattered on the floor, mixed with a large puddle of wine stains.
Unsure how much of her words had been overheard, he smiled and probed, "Young lady, didn't your family teach you manners? Such poor behavior is quite unbecoming of you."
Gong Ning had just turned eighteen, and her small face still had a touch of childishness. To an outsider, it was obvious that she was a child who had just come of age!
Furthermore, by the time Su Cheng arrived at the banquet, all the ceremonies had already concluded.
He was not fortunate enough to witness that grand feast, and naturally, he was unaware of Gong Ning's identity.
The woman next to Su Cheng quickly tugged at her arm, her face showing anxiety.
Su Cheng didn't know who the person in front of her was, but she did!
Su Cheng glanced at her impatiently, and the girl's face paled, momentarily forgetting to speak.
Gong Ning sniffed, suppressing the stinging sensation in her nose, and asked in an unusually calm tone, "What did you just say happened to the Ling family?"
Su Cheng paused. Had she heard everything?
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced around and noticed that many people were looking at me because of the commotion that had just occurred.
Some people even recognized Gong Ning, but chose to remain silent and be a wise observer!
Su Cheng's originally nonchalant expression turned slightly flustered.
