"You good-for-nothing, you can't even be proper in front of the children." Shen Xian said angrily, patting his shoulder lightly.
Su Xi glared at him fiercely, then tried to coax her into having a baby.
No way!
She didn't want to show her elders that she didn't want children, so she made up an excuse: "Lele has now recognized Jingming as her godfather. If Mom doesn't mind, she can treat Lele as her own granddaughter."
“Yes, yes, our Zhou family has a granddaughter.” Shen Xian realized she was putting pressure on Su Xi and quickly tried to ease the tension.
Just then, someone came over to say hello. Shen Xian and Zhou's father didn't chat for long and quickly blended back into the crowd.
Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
While Lele wasn't paying attention, she punched Zhou Jingming and said in a low voice, "You like your daughter so much? Okay, Lele is yours to take care of."
The banquet has already begun, so it's unusual that the Su family is still so quiet.
Su Xi looked around. She had just seen Su Rou and Lin Ye not far away, but now no matter how she looked, she could no longer find them.
Su Rou harbors ill intentions towards Lin Ye, and tonight she has gone to great lengths to get close to him; she probably has other plans.
Just as Su Xi was about to go find someone, a strange, sarcastic voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Su Xi, just admit it honestly. That child is clearly yours. Others might be fooled by your lies, but I don't believe you."
Qiao Xing's words immediately attracted the attention of those around him.
Soon, discussions arose one after another.
"I knew the statement was fake. Even if it was a child adopted by Young Master Zhou, it's impossible for him to be so similar to Su Xi. There must be something fishy going on."
"Young Master Zhou must be afraid of affecting the Zhou family's reputation, so he took responsibility and claimed to the public that the child was adopted by him."
"Then who is the father of this child? He looks to be four or five years old. Su Xi had just debuted at that time. Could it be an illegitimate child born from a casual affair?"
"Who knows? I guarantee it's definitely not Young Master Zhou's."
Su Xi couldn't help but laugh as she listened to these rumors.
If Lele was indeed brought by Su Rou, then Su Rou's move has indeed worked.
This thrust Lele back into the spotlight, subjecting her to all the criticism and judgment.
This time, they really crossed her line.
After all this time, it's time to let Su Rou experience what it's like to be worse than dead.
“I’ll give you a chance to get lost, otherwise…” Su Xi suddenly leaned close to Qiao Xing’s ear and smiled sinisterly, “What happened last time was just a lesson. This time, I can make you lose face in front of everyone!”
Qiao Xing shuddered at the thought of that stalker fan, but her eyes were filled with malice. "What do you want to do?"
Su Xi blinked and sneered, "Trying to rely on Xinglan to turn things around? Qiao Xing, you've got a really good plan. Xinglan wouldn't even look at someone like you."
After saying that, Su Xi suddenly glanced at Xu Lang not far away and shouted, "Take your woman away, or I'll deal with you too."
Xu Lang was startled.
The world is truly surreal.
Could it be that Xiao Hei Hua is possessed by her senior sister? Why do I always mistake her for her senior sister?
"I don't interfere in your women's affairs," Xu Lang snorted and turned to walk away.
It seems I need to find an opportunity to properly teach this junior a lesson; he's becoming increasingly unruly.
"You act like you know Xinglan, but you're just a copycat. You used your skills to hook up with Young Master Zhou. If it weren't for Young Master Zhou's help, you wouldn't even be qualified to be the female lead in this commercial event, let alone become the brand ambassador." Qiao Xing said with a sarcastic tone, completely disregarding Su Xi.
Su Xi narrowed her eyes, her smile alluring and seductive, "If you're so capable, come and snatch it!"
Qiao Xing had wanted to snatch it, but Zhou Jingming was ignoring her and didn't give her a chance to get close at all.
She had tried to get the brand ambassadorship, but Dean Chen said she wasn't suitable.
If she hadn't pestered Xu Lang to come over tonight, she wouldn't have been able to get into this high-society event at all.
On the contrary, Su Xi received a lot of attention and was even personally escorted to the event by Zhou Jingming. The man she longed for but could not have actually flirted with Su Xi at the event.
Qiao Xing was consumed by jealousy, her mind filled with thoughts of ruining Su Xi's reputation.
Su Xi had no time to pay attention to her. She also didn't know where Su Rou and Lin had gone. She had to find them as soon as possible.
"Su Xi, you stop right there!"
Seeing Su Xi about to leave, Qiao Xing called out from behind.
Su Xi didn't stop walking, and said from afar, "I'll play with you later. Don't worry, I won't let you get too bored."
Qiao Xing was furious and went to pester Xu Lang again, "When is your senior sister making a comeback? Su Xi is getting more and more arrogant. If this continues, she will overshadow your senior sister sooner or later."
Xu Lang was also annoyed; Fu Yu was ignoring him, and he couldn't contact his senior sister at all.
He was worried that his senior sister would be affected by Xiao Hei Hua's current arrogance.
"What's there to be afraid of? If my senior sister Xinglan's influence were so easily taken away, how could she have remained firmly on the throne of the film industry for so many years?" Xu Lang recalled their meeting some time ago. Senior sister Xinglan was such a confident woman, with her own shining qualities. How could Xiao Heihua possibly compare to her?
Even with Zhou Jingming protecting her, she'll never be able to surpass Xinglan in this lifetime.
Despite saying that, Qiao Xing was still anxious.
She latched onto Xu Lang because she wanted to use Xinglan to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. As long as Xinglan doesn't make a comeback, all her limelight will be stolen by Su Xi.
This was absolutely a fatal blow to her career.
...
Su Xi searched all the way and finally found Su Rou's shadow in the hotel's back garden.
Where is Lin Ye?
The Su family is now in dire straits, and Su Rou's reputation is ruined; it's likely no one will dare to take her in anymore.
Li Xuemei loved Su Rou so much that she naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Su Rou ruin her future; she would definitely find a way out for her.
The Lin family is Su Rou's only way out.
Su Rou pointed to the floors behind her, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes, "Brother Lin just said he was tired, and it seems he walked in that direction."
After saying that, she turned around and walked back. "I'll take you to find him. Brother Lin drank quite a bit tonight, and I'm quite worried about him."
Su Xi smiled slightly. Was Su Rou really that kind as to lead the way for her?
That can't be right.
Perhaps some conspiracy is lurking ahead, waiting for her.
After standing there for a few seconds, she still strolled over and followed.
This time, she wanted to see what tricks Su Rou could pull.
As she walked along a cobblestone path, she noticed a faint fragrance.
She recognized the scent; it was the fragrance of roses mixed with the aroma of an aphrodisiac.
It seems this woman is planning to use the drugging trick again.
Su Xi lowered her head, a cold smile flashing in her eyes. Did they really think they could fool her with such a petty trick?
Overestimating your abilities!
She took an antidote out of her bag and popped it into her mouth. Before coming here, she had anticipated that Su Rou wouldn't behave herself, so she had specially put a bottle of antidote in her bag. Perfect timing, it came in handy.
Su Rou was able to move around here unharmed, which most likely means she had taken the antidote beforehand.
When they reached the building across the street, Su Xi stopped and said lightly, "I can go in by myself. Lin probably doesn't want to see you."
Su Rou really didn't want to go in, and Lin Ye wasn't inside. She was also eager to seduce him and make it a done deal.
As for Su Xi...
Enjoy the surprise she has carefully prepared!
