"I have nothing to do with him."
Su Jinyu interrupted hastily, her tone somewhat harsh, "I just asked him to help with some ideas."
Su Yushuai was clear-headed and smiled. "You would tell such an important thing to someone you don't trust? I'm afraid Qingru and Aunt Wu don't know about it, right?"
"It's not that I don't trust Aunt Wu and the others, I just don't want to make them worry." Su Jinyu explained, with sincerity in her eyes.
"Well... is Zhou Youchen trustworthy?" Su Roushuai asked, staring at Su Jinyu closely.
Su Jinyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "He... is okay, he probably won't betray me."
Su Xiaoshuai did not ask further questions, and said with a serious tone: "There is indeed something wrong with the Shen family, it would be better to find out."
"What did Marshal find out about you in the army?" Su Jinyu asked, her eyes full of concern.
"Old Shen is very meticulous. He didn't find anything, and that's a sign of a problem... Everyone in the military knows that I'm domineering and moody, and Old Lu has a bad temper, but when it comes to Old Shen, everyone praises him..." Shuai Su frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look.
"Heh... He has a good reputation." Su Jinyu sneered with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
"Is fame acquired or suppressed?" Su 꺶帥 asked meaningfully.
"General, what you mean is... many people in the army are his people?" Su Jinyu's face was full of worry, and his brows were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". "General, this..."
Su Xiaoshuai waved his hands nonchalantly, his movements graceful, "Military affairs cannot be explained in a few words. He can't make any waves. Let's see tomorrow how many people he has bribed."
At the banquet, the sparkling crystal chandeliers cast soft light, illuminating the entire hall with golden splendor.
Although the preparation time was only three days, Zhang managed to hold the dinner in a very grand manner, fully demonstrating the style of the Governor's Office.
The entrance of the lobby was carefully decorated as a photo-taking area with bright lights.
A reporter from the Min-Bai Morning Post held a black light in his hand. The light was dark blue and mysterious, illuminating the faces of the people around him with exceptional clarity.
Another person was holding a camera, and the sound of "clicks, clicks" was incessant. Every time the shutter button was pressed, the flash light flashed like lightning, freezing the moment for every distinguished guest who stepped into the hall.
The protagonists of the dinner, Zhang and Su 꺶帥, were socializing arm in arm at the banquet.
Zhang was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam embroidered with delicate peony patterns. As she walked, the hem of her skirt swayed gently, like a blooming flower.
General Su was dressed in a neat military uniform, with golden stars on his epaulettes shining brightly, highlighting his majesty.
Both of them had polite smiles on their faces as they greeted the guests who came to congratulate them one by one.
Su Jinyu was wearing a red lace dress, and under the light she looked like a burning flame, eye-catching and dazzling.
She sat on the sofa beside her. The leather of the sofa was soft and slightly cool to the touch.
The small cake in her hand exuded a sweet aroma. The rich cream flavor mixed with the sweet and sour taste of strawberries penetrated into her nostrils.
She said to the person behind her, "It's delicious, you should eat some too."
Mu Sheng stood behind the sofa, dressed in a bodyguard's uniform, looking no different from the other bodyguards in the living room.
He lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on her hand holding the strawberry cake.
Her fingers were as white as jade, and the little bit of pink cake on them looked like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, standing out particularly in this luxurious environment.
He slightly shifted his gaze and whispered, "The Shen family has been very active these past two days, so be careful."
"Um."
Su Jinyu nodded, her hand quietly fell on the outside of her thigh, gently stroking the outline of the pistol through her skirt. The hard and cold touch made her feel more at ease.
Mu Sheng recalled the news he had received before and continued, "My people have successfully entered the Shen family. The Shen family's daughter has been in the study a lot recently, but I don't know what she is doing... We still need to wait for a few more days for the micro recorder."
It would be great if we could know their plans.
Su Jinyu warned: "Be careful... They are very cautious."
Mu Sheng stopped talking, took light steps, and quietly stepped back a little, retreating into the shadows.
There, he seemed to blend into the darkness, as if that was where he was supposed to be.
His eyes swept across the glamorous crowd and saw Su Jinyu surrounded by a group of young ladies walking forward towards the brightest light.
At this time, the music in the hall was melodious, people's laughter was intertwined, and the air was filled with the rich aroma of champagne.
Li Xiangyun took Su Jinyu's hand and said with a smile: "In the Governor's Mansion, you are good at avoiding idleness."
Su Jinyu smiled, being forced to stay with a group of socialites, but her eyes glanced towards the door from time to time, as if she was waiting for something.
Until a young lady covered her lips and laughed, the laughter was crisp but with a hint of sharpness: "Miss Su, who are you waiting for?"
"Who else can we wait for? Master Shen..." another voice continued.
"I heard that you two were getting divorced. Who proposed it?"
"Is it because Miss Su has a bad temper and is jealous... Master Shen, who is so gentle and refined, can't stand you, so he divorced you?"
The socialites chatted one after another, and then all looked at Su Jinyu, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.
Su Jinyu suddenly remembered that she had never attended any parties since her marriage, and she had forgotten about women's passion for gossip.
She looked at the last person who spoke calmly, looking him up and down, as if examining him, "Who are you?"
The person being stared at straightened her chest and introduced herself: "I am Luo Jiao, the daughter of Councillor Luo."
Su Jinyu hadn't come into contact with these people for a long time, and still looked at Li Xiangyun in confusion.
Li Xiangyun gave her a blank look and reluctantly explained, "The new councillor Luo... Luo Jiao has only been here for a short time."
"No wonder..."
Su Jinyu muttered in a low voice and looked at Luo Jiao, "Do you know me?"
"Yes, Miss Su."
Luo Jiao said with a smile, "Who doesn't know Miss Su, Miss Su, the apple of the eye of Marshal Su."
Su Jinyu stretched out her finger and shook it gently, "It seems you don't know me."
As he said this, he slapped him with his backhand. There was a crisp "pa" sound, which was particularly abrupt in this noisy hall.
Luo Jiao was slapped in public, and her face instantly turned red, like a ripe tomato.
The people around heard the sound and turned around, casting curious glances.
For a moment, the discussions and music of the people around seemed to die down, and everyone's attention was focused here.
"you……"
Luo Jiao cried, "What do you mean!!"
Su Jinyu put down her hand and rubbed her wrist gently. "I'm introducing myself. I, Su Jinyu, don't like people talking about me to my face... It doesn't matter if you talk about anything behind my back, but I can't stand it if you say bad things about me to my face."
Her voice was clear and crisp, revealing an unquestionable firmness.
Upon seeing this, the celebrities took a step back tacitly, their eyes filled with surprise and a hint of fear.
