Chapter 64: Everyone is spreading rumors about President Zhou and...
The yacht party was not in City B. The next day, Song Yu met up with Deng Lin after getting off the plane. She wanted to ask Deng Lin something, so she didn't ask the hotel driver to pick her up. She just got in Deng Lin's car and left together.
"As expected, you have to wear white clothes when going to the beach. Song Yu, you look so beautiful in this outfit, sweet and pretty." Deng Lin's voice was full of envy.
Song Yu looked at the white dress on her body. The dress she picked up casually was a simple style, but because it was worn by her, paired with a slightly messy bun and a white large pearl necklace, it immediately became eye-catching.
"Thank you, your dress is beautiful too." Song Yu pointed at the haute couture dress she was wearing. "This dress is limited edition and very hard to buy."
"Haha, I can't compare with you. You look beautiful in whatever you wear, but I can't. I can only rely on clothes." Deng Lin stroked her hair modestly.
"I haven't congratulated you on your engagement yet." Song Yu took out a jewelry box from her handbag and handed it to Deng Lin, "This is a gift."
"Ah? Thank you!" Deng Lin opened the jewelry box. Inside was an unmounted pink diamond, estimated to be two carats, worth at least hundreds of thousands.
"It's so beautiful!" Deng Lin took it out and looked at it, then put it back in the box and put it away.
Song Yu asked: "When do you plan to get married?"
"It's too early to get married, there's no rush. While you're still young, have some fun for a few more years. I'll definitely let you know when we get married." After receiving Song Yu's gift, Deng Lin felt much better, and the smile on her face became more genuine.
Song Yu saw through it but didn't say anything. She and Deng Lin didn't hang out in the same circles before, so they weren't particularly close. Buying some sincerity with money, even if it was temporary, wouldn't hurt her. She also had her own reasons. "By the way, who organized this yacht party? I see a lot of cars heading to the beach along the way."
"Didn't I tell you?" Deng Lin asked in surprise, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, maybe I forgot. This yacht party is Su Yuecheng's birthday party. Today is her 20th birthday." After accepting Song Yu's gift, Deng Lin told him everything she knew.
Seeing that Song Yu still looked puzzled, she asked again, "Don't you know who Su Yuecheng is?"
Song Yu nodded. She hadn't been in City B for six years and didn't know. "Who is Su Yuecheng?"
Deng Lin patted her forehead lightly and apologized, "Blame me, blame me. You haven't been in City B for so many years, how do you know who Su Yuecheng is? Actually, I don't know much either. I just know she's from City S, and she comes from a very powerful family. Her family is in politics. Her uncle is Su Youyan. You must have heard of Su Youyan, the one who often speaks on TV. I also heard from others that she came to City B to study at university because she was going to be with Mr. Zhou. You must know Mr. Zhou, right? That's Zhou Ci. I remember you two used to hang out together."
In other words, Deng Lin was not familiar with Song Yu. She only saw Song Yu and Zhou Ci appear together frequently in the past. She didn't know anything else, so she thought Song Yu and Zhou Ci were just playing together.
Song Yu didn't plan to explain. There was nothing wrong with this misunderstanding. At least it saved him some trouble. "We used to hang out together a lot, but we haven't been in touch since we went abroad. I haven't heard about these things. Are the Zhou and Su families planning a marriage?"
"Everyone's saying Mr. Zhou and Su Yuecheng are getting engaged. They're pretty close. You'd often see Mr. Zhou and her together at any private gatherings. Mr. Zhou is such a cool person, I've never seen him so gentle and thoughtful towards anyone. But no one dares to secretly take photos of Mr. Zhou, and no one dares to spread them around, so netizens don't know about it."
Deng Lin finished speaking and patted Song Yu's hand. "Su Yuecheng is a good person. I heard that your family has been having some difficulties recently. I will introduce her to you. Her uncle is Su Youyan. Maybe she can say a few words to her uncle and solve your family's problems."
It would be great if the problem in her family was a little girl's problem that could be solved by just acting coquettishly in front of her elders.
Then she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to attend a yacht party whose theme she didn't even know before she came, just for the tiny hope that she could run into someone who could help her solve her problem.
But Deng Lin had this intention, whether it was sincere or fake, Song Yu still wanted to thank her, "Okay! Thank you Deng Lin."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Deng Lin said this, but her tone was a little proud. So what if she was the eldest daughter of the Song family, the richest family in City B? That was in the past. Things have changed. Now, in order to find someone to borrow money, she has to rely on her to make connections. Otherwise, she might not even be able to touch the person's skirt.
She stroked the hem of her skirt and said to Song Yu, "The person we in City B should not mess with the most right now is Su Yuecheng. Not to mention her uncle Su Youyan, even President Zhou is her source of confidence. Last time, someone offended her with their words and was severely punished by President Zhou, and their company was even acquired. And this birthday party, they chartered such a large yacht to go out to sea, all thanks to President Zhou. For her 20th birthday, even President Zhou, who doesn't like to go to such places, would accompany her to the party, for fear that she would be bullied."
Song Yu felt a little uneasy. She confirmed, "You mean, Mr. Zhou will come too?"
"Yes!" Deng Lin smiled. "You haven't met Mr. Zhou in the past few days since you came back, right? It's a good opportunity to meet him today."
Song Yu felt even more unbearable. It would be so embarrassing if she met Zhou Ci on the yacht. At that moment, she wanted to get out of the car, turn around and leave, and not attend this yacht party. But she was in Deng Lin's car, and Deng Lin was sitting next to her. If she really did that, she would have no way to explain it.
After finally reaching the seaport and getting out of the car, Song Yu said to Deng Lin, "Something suddenly happened to me and I have to rush back. I won't be attending this birthday party. Have fun, baby."
"Stop! Song Yu, you're already here. You said you wanted to leave, but I can't let you do this?" Deng Lin held Song Yu tightly and refused to let her go.
"I really have something to do." Song Yu raised the phone in his hand. "An investor I found just replied to my message. I have to go back to discuss something with him. I can't delay. Can we make an appointment next time? I'll treat you."
"No, I made an appointment with you yesterday. I couldn't leave because I had to do it earlier or later. I already said I invited you, and now you're standing me up. How can I face my sisters? They're sure to think I'm bragging."
The two men were in a stalemate when someone else arrived and several business cars stopped one after another. The low-key and restrained logos looked very imposing.
Song Yu didn't know what she was thinking. She had a bad feeling when she saw the car logo. She pulled Deng Lin to the side and hid behind a car, using the shape of the car to block the view from that side.
"What are you doing?" Deng Lin was confused as she was pulled to hide.
"Shh! Don't talk!" Song Yu's palms were sweating with nervousness. She really didn't want to meet Zhou Ci now.
"That looks like Mr. Zhou's car. Aren't you very close to Mr. Zhou? Why are you hiding from him?" Deng Lin whispered.
This situation was really inexplicable, so Song Yu could only tell the truth: "Mr. Zhou and I broke up six years ago..." Before she finished her words, Deng Lin had already taken a few steps back.
Deng Lin opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it. "You and Mr. Zhou broke up?"
If Song Yu hadn't previously understood why Deng Lin was so eager to get her to this yacht party, she understood now. They were just fake sisters, having only played together a few times. Their enthusiasm was driven by a sense of profit, and when they realized there was nothing to gain, their true colors would naturally show.
Song Yu wasn't surprised by her reaction at all. "That's why I was in a hurry to leave when I heard Zhou Ci was coming here. Now you won't stop me, right?"
Zhou Ci is now in a strong position. Song Yu can see that Deng Lin wants to use her to get close to Zhou Ci. Now she finds out that she and Zhou Ci have fallen out a long time ago. Out of fear of Zhou Ci, Deng Lin dare not keep her any longer.
Deng Lin looked at Song Yu and was about to say something when her cell phone rang. She picked it up and took a look at it, then said to Song Yu, "Wait a minute, I'll take a call first." Then she covered the phone and went to the side to answer it.
Song Yu had a good temper, but that was only for people. She had been raised as a spoiled little girl, never one to be irritated. Deng Lin's snobbishness was completely exposed, and when she found out she had fallen out with Zhou Ci and felt she couldn't get any benefits, she dared to give her the cold shoulder.
Her family was in trouble, but she hadn't gone bankrupt yet, and they were eager to put her down. She didn't have the habit of being picked on and keeping silent.
Given Song Yu's temper, she wouldn't bother to pay any more attention to Deng Lin and would just turn around and leave. But she didn't drive over, so even if she asked her family driver to come pick her up, it would still take time to wait.
The most important thing is that the road they came here has been occupied by several of Zhou Ci's cars. If they want to go back, they have to walk back. Zhou Ci is on the way back. Zhou Ci got out of the car and stood there, as if he was waiting for someone.
Zhou Ci refused to leave, and Song Yu didn't want to meet him, so he could only hide here. It wasn't that Song Yu wanted to wait for Deng Lin, but Deng Lin had already returned after answering the phone, but Zhou Ci was still standing there without moving.
After Deng Lin answered the phone, she seemed like a different person, with a smile on her face. She pulled Song Yu affectionately and said, "Since we're here, why are you leaving? You and Mr. Zhou have fallen out, so let's just have fun on our own and avoid Mr. Zhou."
Song Yu doesn't like double-dealing. People like Deng Lin will not do anything without profit. Maybe after answering the phone, he thought of how he could use her.
"No, I won't go. I'm not familiar with the birthday host. If she's about to get engaged to Mr. Zhou, and she knows we're not on good terms, she'll probably be unhappy to have me. Besides, she really has something going on."
Song Yu raised the phone in her hand again, "Someone really asked me to talk to him about something." She smiled again, "I'll treat you to dinner next time." Of course, dinner was just an excuse. She believed that Deng Lin also knew that the most likely possibility was that they would never see each other again.
Song Yu was ready to go back, so she sent a message to her driver, asking him to drive over to pick her up. After sending the message, she hid behind the car and waited, planning to get out from behind the car after Zhou Ci got on the yacht.
Unexpectedly, another car drove over and a young girl in a light wedding dress got out of the car. When she saw Zhou Ci waiting here, she smiled brightly without saying a word. The two chatted for a few words and then walked directly towards where Song Yu was hiding.
