Yu Sheng's arrival made Li Susu very unhappy, and when Qiao Moya asked her that question, she became even more unhappy and said irritably, "Ayan said he was busy."
Qiao Moya feigned some concern and said softly, "Being busy isn't just an excuse, is it?"
Her words only fueled Li Susu's anger, and she looked at her angrily, saying, "Are you saying that Ayan doesn't want to come with me?"
Qiao Moya took Li Susu's arm and lowered her voice to analyze for her, "Even if you two are just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, it's not appropriate for him to let you come alone to this kind of occasion, is it? Besides, no matter how busy he is, I don't believe he can't even spare a few minutes to accompany you."
Li Susu didn't complain about Shang Yan not accompanying her. She wasn't an immature little girl; she knew he had endless things to do managing such a large company. But after listening to Qiao Moya's analysis, she actually felt that it made some sense.
Suddenly, the anger in his heart was impossible to suppress, and he even had the urge to call Shang Yan and question him.
Just then, Qiao Moya said again, "Mr. Shang is a very considerate and respectable person. Logically speaking, he wouldn't do this, so do you think it's possible that..."
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Li Susu pressed her for more information: "Could it be something?"
Qiao Moya deliberately said, "It's nothing."
Li Susu urged anxiously, "If you're going to say something, just say it all. Don't leave things unsaid."
Qiao Moya feigned hesitation: "I was just thinking... could it be... that Yu Sheng told President Shang about you going to see her... so..."
Even through the mask, Qiao Moya could feel the anger on Li Susu's face.
She didn't respond to her words, and turned to walk quickly towards Yu Sheng.
"Su Su, where are you going? Su Su..."
Qiao Moya made a show of calling out twice, then her lips curled up into a smug smile of triumph.
When Li Susu approached Yu Sheng, Gu Ye was with her delivering a birthday gift to Li Siyan.
Li Siyan chatted with Gu Ye with a smile, ignoring Yu Sheng completely.
Yu Sheng didn't mind her attitude at all.
She was a little hungry, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the dining table. As she pondered whether to find an excuse to go and get something to eat, a voice called out from behind her—
"Fish Sheng!"
Yu Sheng turned around and saw a woman in a nude pink strapless dress with rhinestones walking towards her. The woman was wearing a veil in the same color as her dress. Yu Sheng didn't recognize her at first, but when she heard Li Siyan call her "cousin", she guessed that she was Li Susu.
Li Susu came over, first exchanged a few words with Li Siyan, and then said to Yu Sheng, "I want to talk to you."
Yu Sheng could tell from her tone that she was there to cause trouble.
What did she come looking for?
Is it still because of what happened last time?
Seeing that Gu Ye was about to speak, Li Siyan said, "Gu Ye, my dad said that since you've arrived, he asked me to take you to see him. Let's go."
Gu hesitated for a moment and then said, "I'll go say hello and then I'll come over."
Yu Sheng responded softly, then looked at Li Susu and joked, "Sister Susu, my wife is dressed up quite beautifully tonight, you'd better keep an eye on her for me."
Li Susu's tone was cold and hard: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on things for you."
Gu Ye was actually quite worried.
The day before yesterday, he went to see Yu Sheng and overheard some of her conversation with Li Susu. He learned that Li Susu had also received the photo, just like him, and also suspected that Yu Sheng and Shang Yan were having an affair.
Therefore, he was afraid that she would target Yu Sheng.
But considering the occasion, and realizing that Li Susu wouldn't dare to act recklessly in public, he left.
As soon as Gu Ye left, Li Susu confronted Yu Sheng and asked, "Did you tell A Yan that I went to see you?"
Yu Sheng thought she came to see her because of what happened last time, but she never expected it to be...
She didn't know why she thought that, and frowned, saying, "No."
Li Susu didn't believe it and asked in return, "If you didn't tell Ayan, why did Ayan refuse to come to Siyan's birthday party with me?"
Yu Sheng found Li Susu a bit inexplicable, and even felt that this time, the feeling she had given her was completely overturned from the last time, which was her initial impression of her.
She didn't say much to her, only saying, "Then you shouldn't ask me, you should ask my brother!"
Li Susu saw Yu Sheng's words as a blatant provocation, as if he were using Shang Yan to back her up.
The anger that had been building up in her chest burst with a 'pop' like a balloon inflated to its limit. Losing control, she raised her hand to slap Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng couldn't just stand there and let Li Susu slap her. Just as she was about to grab Li Susu's hand, a hand beat her to it and grabbed Li Susu's wrist.
Yu Sheng, seeing the man in a white tuxedo, assumed it was Gu Ye who had returned. Li Susu, also assuming it was Gu Ye, was about to pull her hand away when the man said with a smile, "Sheng Sheng, what made you angry?"
Li Susu was taken aback, and looked at the man suspiciously, asking, "Si Yan?"
"Um."
Shang Yan responded and looked at Yu Sheng: "What made your future sister-in-law angry?"
Yu Sheng was still in shock at the fact that the man in front of her was Shang Yan, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.
Shang Yan's sudden appearance caught Li Susu off guard, who had assumed that Yu Sheng had complained to Shang Yan.
She didn't have time to think carefully about why Shang Yan, who was supposed to be absent, would suddenly appear, and spoke before Yu Sheng could:
"I was just joking with Sheng Sheng. She didn't make me angry. She's such a good girl, how could she make me angry?"
"Is that so?" Shang Yan asked, looking at Yu Sheng.
The moment Yu Sheng and Shang Yan locked eyes, she hurriedly looked away and obediently replied, "Yes!"
Seeing that Yu Sheng hadn't said anything out of line, Li Susu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shang Yan with a delighted expression, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were busy?"
