388: Chapter 388: Rude 388: Chapter 388: Rude “Exactly, Auntie, any one of my classmates is either a high-level executive in a big company or an important governnt official.
They’re all definitely better than him,” Zhou Qian said proudly.
Lin He spoke awkwardly, “Let’s forget about it.
You all know how Zinuo is; she will handle her own affairs.”
“Sister, you’re not being fair.
When your daughter is young and clueless, why are you clueless too?
Is this a laughing matter?
This concerns her lifelong happiness.
Haven’t you heard about how many young n nowadays swindle won for their money and beauty?”
Lin Yu wasn’t holding back at all, and her comnts beca more and more inappropriate.
Bang!
“Enough!”
Zinuo couldn’t bear to listen any longer—her patience had exploded.
It was one thing to talk about herself, but to slander Su Mo more and more was sothing she could not tolerate.
However, when Zinuo suddenly stood up and slamd the table, she completely startled Lin Yu and her three companions as well as her parents.
Even Su Mo, who was sitting there, touched his face, thinking to himself that it was all over now; it would be difficult to go unnoticed after this.
“Who is this?”
Both Lin Yu and Zhou Cheng looked at the exquisitely dressed Zinuo with confusion.
Who was she, dressed so lavishly and regally—a daughter from so wealthy tycoon’s family?
Zinuo’s stark contrast in appearance after dressing up made her unrecognizable for a mont.
Of course, it wasn’t just Lin Yu and her group whose eyesight was at fault—even Lin Wei and Lin He did not recognize Zinuo at a glance and instead recognized Su Mo.
“It’s you!”
With a cough, Su Mo awkwardly bowed in greeting.
“Hello, Uncle, Auntie.”
“Auntie, who is this?” Zhou Qian’s eyes lit up, seeing a very handso young man.
Lin He didn’t know how to introduce Su Mo and appeared even more embarrassed.
Surely she couldn’t just say that this was the man they had been disparaging just monts ago.
Suddenly, Lin He felt sothing was amiss.
Why was Su Mo here?
And why did the woman next to him seem so familiar?
She scrutinized Zinuo carefully, and with her mouth hanging open in surprise, she exclaid.
“Zinuo, what are you doing here!”
“Zinuo?”
Zhou Cheng and her companion felt a bit dazed, examining Zinuo closely.
The more they looked, the more she seed familiar.
Lin Wei finally regained his composure, equally puzzled about what was going on.
Zinuo was supposed to be in Imperial City, so why was she in Demon City dressed so formally, making them fail to recognize her at first glance?
By now, the crowd of onlookers was growing, and there was a murmur of private conversations.
“What’s going on over there?”
“I don’t know, looks like there’s so sort of conflict.”
“Wow, such a beautiful girl, but she looks unfamiliar.”
“Forget it, just look at her clothes and jewelry—they’re worth at least ten million.
She’s no ordinary miss.”
….
Mr.
Su Mo was also feeling quite awkward as the atmosphere turned sowhat stiff.
Just then, Cao Wen and others who were looking for Su Mo inside the banquet hall moved toward the commotion.
He spotted Su Mo imdiately.
Leading his group over, the crowd, recognizing Cao Wen, made way for him.
Then, Cao Wen casually walked past Lin Wei and others to stand before Su Mo with a smile as warm as the spring breeze, extending his hand.
“Mr.
Su Mo, my apologies for the intrusion,” he said.
“Who are you?”
Su Mo looked at the man in front of him, feeling a bit of recognition but couldn’t recall who it was at the mont.
“I’m Cao Wen, and I’m very grateful that you could attend today’s banquet.
There are too many guests, and I didn’t have the chance to attend to you earlier,”
Cao Wen introduced himself with a smile.
“You’re too kind, Mr.
Cao Wen.”
Su Mo instantly realized who it was and hastily extended his hand to shake hands with Cao Wen.
The surrounding guests were also very surprised to see this scene, wondering who this unfamiliar young man was, to receive such regard from Mr.
Cao Wen.
They couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
Zhou Cheng and his friends were stunned by this scene too.
Recalling that just now Mr.
Cao Wen had addressed the young man before them as Su Mo, who also shared the last na with Lin Zinuo’s companion, could it be that this guy was actually that hooligan?
That would be too absurd, impossible, absolutely impossible.
“Mr.
Su Mo, how about we chat aside for a bit?
Also, this beautiful lady next to you is your female companion, isn’t she?
If you don’t mind, may I let my daughter Cao Yun entertain her for a while?”
Cao Wen’s gaze shifted to Lin Zinuo, and with a seasoned look, he sized her up and felt that this girl must be quite nice.
He hadn’t expected Su Mo to bring a female companion.
If so, he wouldn’t deliberately steal his thunder, as it would seem very ungentlemanly.
“Alright then.”
After a mont of thought, Su Mo nodded and agreed.
“Hello, sister, let’s take a walk around the banquet together.”
Cao Yun revealed a warm smile and naturally took Lin Zinuo’s hand, leading her to the side.
Lin Zinuo’s thoughts were in disarray at this mont.
She subconsciously followed Cao Yun away, while Su Mo also followed Cao Wen toward a corner.
All that was left behind were Lin He and a few others, standing awkwardly in place.
Lin Wei’s expression changed constantly.
Although he wasn’t sure what exactly was going on, he surmised that he’d probably misjudged the situation.
The dress and the jewelry Lin Zinuo wore were probably worth more than his entire fortune.
Zhou Qian spoke with a touch of resentnt, “Aunt Lin, sister Zinuo has kept such a deep secret, not breathing a word about finding such an outstanding companion and keeping it under wraps, making us worry and fear for her.”
Despite the surface complaint in her words, her tone revealed more envy and jealousy.
Her own jewelry couldn’t compare to the pair of shoes on her feet.
“This…”
Lin He was at a loss for what to say, but in her heart, she felt more joy than anything.
In fact, when Lin He first saw Su Mo, she quite liked this quiet young man.
But she had kept silent because of her husband’s opposition.
Lin Wei spoke very calmly, “The child has grown up; she has to deal with her own matters, and we can’t manage her anymore.”
Zhou Cheng awkwardly agreed, “That’s right.”
….
Elsewhere, Cao Wen and Su Mo went to sit down at a table in a corner, guests all around cleared enough private space for them consciously.
Cao Wen poured a glass of red wine for Su Mo and started a conversation with a smile.
“Mr.
Su Mo, I know you’re a smart man, so I’ll get straight to the point without beating around the bush.
I invited you here because there is a very important issue I want to discuss with you.”
“Are you referring to the demolition issue?”
Su Mo asked after a few seconds of silence.
“You’re right, it’s about the demolition.
This demolition, and the construction of the interstellar airport, concern the future prosperity or decline of Demon City.
As the mayor of Demon City, it’s my undeniable responsibility,” Cao Wen’s voice had a compelling force that made people involuntarily trust him.
Seeing that the other party was being frank, Su Mo didn’t hold back either.
He asked curiously,
“Since you want to build an interstellar airport, why not construct it in the suburbs?
There would be as much open land as needed.
Why build it in the city center?
Also, there is sothing I don’t quite understand—are we really at the stage where we can cross interstellar distances?”
