"Hehe, you two really make a good match!" Jiang Shuren sized up Su Yuze and Su Rou. Having heard about them before, as it was someone else's family matter, Jiang Shuren naturally couldn't voice his opinion. But seeing them today, he had to admit that the two kids were quite well - matched!
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang." Su Yuze smiled at Jiang Shuren, feeling quite pleased because of this compliment.
"Then feel free to have fun and eat. Make yourselves at home." Jiang Shuren made a gentlemanly "please" gesture towards them.
There were many people in the banquet hall. The men were gentlemen and the women were ladies. In particular, Kong Yao, who usually acted like a peacock, put on a quite decent act in this formal occasion.
Kong Yao walked alongside her father, looking like a well - behaved little girl. If one didn't know how she behaved at school, one might really think she was a lady.
...
Lian Shuang walked over in a gorgeous, cut - out evening dress. Without an invitation, she could only wait silently at the door. Finally, when Su Meimei showed up, Lian Shuang let out a sigh of relief and sneaked in behind her.
Lian Shuang wasn't new to banquets, but she usually attended small - scale ones. Nothing could compare to the grandeur of this one!
All the guests were high - society people. Just looking at them made her eager to strike up a conversation!
"Look, Su Rou is over there." Su Meimei pointed her chin at the woman lingering with Su Yuze on the side of the hall.
Su Meimei had good eyesight. Even from this distance, she could see the little interactions between Su Rou and Su Yuze. However, she had to admit in her heart that the evening dress Su Rou was wearing was truly beautiful!
"I see..." Lian Shuang nodded. In this public place, they were so close to each other. "It's really annoying. Su Rou is so close to the CEO."
Su Meimei thought for a moment, then narrowed her eyes. She took out a pill from her handbag. "Hey, I got this from the black market. If you can get Su Rou to take it, she'll surely make a fool of herself later!"
"What is this?" Lian Shuang asked curiously.
"A powerful ecstasy pill. It can make people hallucinate." Su Meimei whispered, "How you get Su Rou to take it is up to you." She was just the one providing the drug. It would be more fun for Lian Shuang to do this.
Lian Shuang took the tiny pill and nodded at Su Meimei. "Okay, I got it."
Lian Shuang walked away with the pill. To get Su Rou to take it, she had to put it in a wine glass. Looking at the waiters walking around with trays, Lian Shuang had an idea.
Just as Lian Shuang was about to call a waiter, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Su Rongqi walking towards Su Yuze. She paused for a moment and pretended to be admiring the banquet hall while standing not far from Su Yuze, watching.
"Yuze." Su Rongqi walked over and called Su Yuze's name in a deep voice.
"Grandpa." Su Yuze replied politely.
Su Rou was about to pick up a pudding to eat. Hearing Su Rongqi's voice, she immediately put it back and stood beside Su Yuze. "Hello, Grandpa Su."
"Hello." Su Rongqi replied. His tone was neither cold nor overly warm. But soon, he said, "Su Rou, I'd like to have a private word with Yuze."
It was obvious that he wanted her to leave! Su Rou looked at Su Yuze. "I..."
"Xiaorou doesn't know anyone here. I'm worried about her." Su Yuze said. He didn't want to leave Su Rou alone. There were so many rich young men eyeing her!
"How could that be? All the Su family members are here. How could she not know anyone?" Su Rongqi smiled faintly. Then he looked around and waved to the side. "Ziqi, come here."
Hearing Su Rongqi's call, Su Ziqi walked over. When he saw Su Rou, his eyes lingered on her for a while. "Grandpa, you called me?"
"Yes, take Su Rou around."
Su Ziqi looked at Su Rongqi in surprise. It took him a while to understand what he meant, and then he immediately nodded. "Okay."
Su Rou gently squeezed Su Yuze's big hand. "I'll go have a look over there."
"..." Su Yuze didn't say a word. It was obvious that he didn't want to let her go.
Su Rou walked up to Su Ziqi. "Let's go."
"Okay." Su Ziqi walked in front excitedly and said to Su Rou, "Actually, this banquet hall has a history of 500 years. Rich families in City T often rent this place for banquets..."
Su Rou listened silently, not showing much interest.
"Xiaorou, you and Brother Yuze..." Su Ziqi asked, "How are you two doing?"
"Pretty good."
"... Oh, that's good." Su Ziqi forced a smile. It was obvious that they were doing well. The evening dress Su Rou was wearing was extremely expensive!
After a long silence, Su Ziqi just walked with Su Rou. Considering that she was wearing such high - heeled shoes and might get tired, Su Ziqi suggested, "Shall we go over there and have something to eat?"
"Okay." Su Rou was really hungry and just wanted to eat something. After walking around for a while, Su Rou didn't see Su Yue or Qian Yingnan. She was about to ask but then suddenly remembered what Su Yuze had told her before, so she decided not to ask.
...
"Yuze, what are you worried about? Ziqi won't do anything to Su Rou." Seeing that Su Yuze was still staring at the backs of Su Rou and Su Ziqi, Su Rongqi frowned. His uneasiness made him seem like a bad guy.
Hearing this, Su Yuze gave a faint smile, with a hint of disdain in it. "How do you know?" Su Ziqi had designs on Su Rou, which was why he was worried.
"What did you say?" Su Rongqi didn't understand.
"Nothing." Su Yuze shook his head. "Let's talk about the main thing."
Su Rongqi looked at him for a while and then said, "You should already know that your second uncle has been suspended from his post, right?" When saying this, Su Rongqi's face looked grim. "The Su Group is going to be turned upside down by them."
Su Yuze curled his lips but didn't say anything.
"I'll only feel at ease if I hand the Su Group over to you."
"Uncle won't agree."
Hearing this, Su Rongqi suddenly laughed. "It's good that you agree." It seemed that Su Yuze had already silently agreed to return to the Su family, which made things easier.
"Okay."
"Your uncle is also here. You can have a good chat with him." Su Rongqi nodded in satisfaction.
"Wait." Su Yuze interrupted Su Rongqi's action of about to call Su Kaiming. "Grandpa, if I'm going to return to the Su family, promise me one condition."
