After the Wu Family left, the networking dinner naturally continued, but the atmosphere had completely changed, and everyone's mind wasn't really on it anymore.
Everyone kept their distance from Su Chen, as if he were a plague carrier.
Although Su Chen was indifferent to people's attitudes, he had to consider the approach of one person—Lin Ruoxue, who was walking towards him with a smile on her face.
Despite her smiling face, Su Chen could clearly sense the hidden anger and fury in her eyes.
He also knew he had overstepped today, after all, standing up for another woman in front of his own wife was intolerable for anyone!
Especially since that woman was a superb beauty! Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Not only was Su Chen feeling uneasy, Ye i by his side also had so trepidation, feeling like a mistress facing the legitimate wife, her aura completely deflated.
However, what neither of them expected was Lin Ruoxue to walk past Su Chen with a smile and extend her hand to Ye i:
"Hello, I'm pleased to et you, I am Lin Ruoxue, Su Chen's wife."
Since there were almost no others around Su Chen, this explosive piece of information was not heard by many.
Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, both Su Chen and Ye i were a bit stunned, sensing sothing was amiss. Normally, shouldn't two won start a fight over a man?
Why was Lin Ruoxue acting as gentle as a spring breeze, all cordial and polite? The whole scene seed off!
Coming back to her senses, Ye i quickly understood that Lin Ruoxue was asserting her authority!
This woman was indeed extraordinary!
"Ms. Lin, please don't misunderstand, Su Chen and I are just... just friends," Ye i said sowhat falteringly, feeling a bit guilty.
"I understand, who he befriends is his freedom, I would not interfere with that," Lin Ruoxue said lightly and with a smile:
"I'm just wondering how Ms. Ye ca to know my husband?"
Hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, Su Chen couldn't help but scoff to himself; she claid she wouldn't interfere, yet here she was asking questions right away.
"One day he ca to my bar for a drink, and we t by chance," Ye i said without much thought, honestly.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, who was sowhat uncomfortable next to her, and inwardly remarked:
"Look at you, going to bars for drinks!"
In her view, it was rare for n to go to bars for any good reason—eight out of ten tis, it was to look for romantic adventures!
Sensing Lin Ruoxue's gaze, Su Chen's heart imdiately started pounding, as if sothing was about to happen.
"Ms. Lin, and Mr. Su, I'm truly sorry for today, for causing troubles for you both," Ye i sincerely apologized, her face showing deep remorse.
After all, because of her, the couple had gotten into trouble with a behemoth like the Wu Family, and if they suffered any harm because of it, she would never be able to live with herself.
"You need not feel too guilty, Ms. Ye, what's done is done, let's let bygones be bygones," Lin Ruoxue said with a benevolent smile, appearing very magnanimous.
In truth, she had so complaints about Ye i bringing such a huge problem onto her husband, but what was the use of complaints?
What was done was done, and all that remained was to look for a solution!
She couldn't understand why her husband was so impulsive. Even if he needed to stand up for his close female friend, did he have to be so drastic?
At the sa ti, she felt deep pity for the charming and attractive woman before her, sad that a woman couldn't even be in charge of her own marriage, what a sorrowful situation!
This made her think back to when she had first married Su Chen—if she hadn't been so concerned about Belle Corporation, she would have wished for nothing more than to end it all.
Fortunately, as she and Su Chen spent ti together, they unexpectedly developed deep feelings for one another, to the point where they couldn't live without each other!
But how many people in the world were as lucky as she was?
It was this sympathy for the other's misfortune that lessened her resentnt...
"Wife, let's go," Su Chen said, smiling as he took Lin Ruoxue's soft hand. He was genuinely worried that sothing untoward might happen if the two won kept chatting.
"Alright."
Lin Ruoxue tilted her head and smiled at him, as if she knew exactly what he was thinking.
Besides, after the incident at the networking banquet, she felt no need to stay any longer.
Ye i was also ready to leave, but after so thought, she decided not to go with them, to avoid causing Su Chen any trouble. It would be better to leave after they did.
Although no one dared to get close to Su Chen, everyone's gaze never really left him. When they saw the young man finally leave, they let out a sigh of relief.
The other three major families also watched him leave with complex expressions, without saying much...
As Su Chen passed Yun Shiqing, he gave him a aningful glance and said slowly,
"Family Head Yun, you will realize what you've lost today in the future."
With that, Su Chen walked towards the hotel entrance with Lin Ruoxue...
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Yun Shiqing's body shook involuntarily, and then he watched their fading silhouettes.
In that mont, Yun Shiqing felt he had made a very wrong decision today!
...
As soon as they left the hotel's main entrance, Lin Ruoxue suddenly yanked her hand away from Su Chen's grip. Her face imdiately turned frosty, exuding an icy chill that seed to penetrate to the bone!
In an instant, it was as though she had returned to the ti when they had first t...
"Wife... I..."
Su Chen was all too aware of why Lin Ruoxue reacted that way. She hadn't blown up inside, which was already her giving him face.
However, Lin Ruoxue seed not to hear Su Chen's words and headed straight for her car, then got in.
Just as Su Chen reached the car and was about to get in, Lin Ruoxue stepped on the accelerator and drove past him with a roar...
Su Chen was left standing there, dumbfounded...
"It seems my wife's anger is bigger than I thought!" Su Chen muttered to himself, but he didn't bla Lin Ruoxue; it was entirely his own doing!
The night breeze was cold as it blew in gusts. Standing there, Su Chen looked sowhat dejected.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and gazed at the night sky, lost in thought...
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Just then, a seductive voice sounded beside him.
Ye i looked around, sowhat puzzled,
"Where's your wife?"
"She's gone," Su Chen sighed.
"How could she leave? She left you here all by yourself?"
Ye i asked, taken aback.
"What do you think?" Su Chen replied with an irked roll of his eyes, thinking to himself, it was all because of you...
Seeing Su Chen looking so upset, Ye i finally realized the situation and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle,
"I thought she wasn't angry. I didn't expect..."
"It looks like Mrs. Lin is still a woman after all!" Ye i mused, expressing her realization with a sigh...
