The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 105

Chapter 105: I Can’t Dance

When Su Yurou saw everyone’s attention on the matching couple, she bit her red lips. Her initial perfect smile instantly vanished.

Since Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan appeared, people who surrounded her and Gu Zihang shifted their gazes away from them.

Since when had her thunder ever been stolen?

To the conceited Su Yurou, Su Wan’s behavior was undoubtedly a slap in her face.

When she saw that her man, who was usually steady, was equally pale, Su Yurou clenched her fists tightly and knew that Di Chen Group’s CEO, Jiang Xuecheng, was a cut above Gu Zihang.

However, she couldn’t take it. How could she accept this?

Su Yurou took a deep breath and forcibly calmed down the loathing in the bottom of her heart. “Isn’t that Su Wan? Zihang, she pretended not to know us!”

Gu Zihang’s face darkened and an obvious ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. “Yurou, a few days ago, didn’t you hear about Su Wan being married? Is her husband Jiang Xuecheng?”

“She’s now an orphaned girl. She’s weak and has no one to rely on. The Jiang family would not like her!”

Su Yurou smiled coldly. Her voice was very firm. From her objective judgment, she analyzed that Jiang Xuecheng would not marry Su Wan and from her subjective will, she could not accept that Su Wan could have married a more outstanding man than Gu Zihang.

Hence, she answered firmly, without hesitating.

“You’re right…”

First of all, Jiang Xuecheng’ sexual orientation had not been clear according to most people and secondly, if he really had accepted Su Wan, how could the Jiang family seniors approve of Su Wan with her current conditions?

When Gu Zihang heard what Su Yurou said, he had mixed feelings.

“They don’t look intimate from the way they talk. If Wan was really married to Jiang Xuecheng, how could the Jiang family seniors allow them to marry quietly? I don’t understand why Jiang Xuecheng brought her here today…”

Jiang Xuecheng rarely attended such occasion and it was the first time he had ever brought a female partner!

A vicious flash appeared in Su Yurou’s eyes and she shook her head in disdain.

“Don’t forget about the tender meeting after the charity dinner. Jiang Xuecheng might place importance in this bid and might have conveniently brought her along. Long Teng International’s proposal was done by Wan.”

At the mentioning of the Beitong proposal, Gu Zihang and Su Yurou exchanged glances tacitly, then smiled.

They had relied on networking to adjust the sequence of their presentations. After putting forth some effort, Su Wan’s presentation would come after Gu Group’s.

Both of them were very confident about this bid, perhaps because they knew what their rival was going to present.

Su Yurou stretched out her hand to hold Gu Zihang’s hand tightly and smiled complacently. “Zihang, the dinner will be starting soon. Let’s go in.”

Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were brought into the International Exhibition Center of S City by the mayor, Meng Bin.

The International Exhibition Center was a symbolic building in S City. The decorations were resplendent and magnificent.

A chandelier hung from above and the wall decorations were based on gold as the main tone. Famous artists’ masterpieces were hung on the walls and at one glance, one could feel the display of splendor and extravagance of the upper class.

The entire venue had been elaborately decorated for tonight’s charity dinner and the guests’ seats were pre-arranged.

People like Jiang Xuecheng would undoubtedly be placed in front in the first row.

However, Su Wan’s role today was to be Jiang Xuecheng’s subordinate. Hence, she had no right to sit with him.

To avoid the others from suspecting anything, Su Wan waited till Jiang Xuecheng sat down before she gave him a wink and very naturally found a seat in the back for herself.

Since Jiang Xuecheng arrived, he had become the center of attraction of the entire charity dinner.

The mayor, Meng Bin, walked toward the podium on the red carpet. He raised his hand high and waved. Instantly, the entire hall was filled with a cheerful sound of a violin solo.

Everyone fell into a silence and looked toward Meng Bin who was standing on the podium.

Meng Bin smiled slightly and started giving his speech. He thanked everyone for attending and supporting S City’s charity events.

Following Meng Bin’s last sentence, “May everyone have a wonderful night,” the floor exploded into cheers. At the same time, the violin solo turned into soothing piano music.

The charity dinner had officially kicked off.

The charity dinner with people, music, and drinks brought out the luxury of the exquisitely decorated International Exhibition Center.

Su Wan sat at a secluded corner alone. She smilingly took a glass of fruit juice for herself.

She knew trouble would find its way to her without her inviting so she was not anxious, less so, to make the first move.

However, unexpectedly, the person who came looking for her first was the playboy Lu Qingyu and not Gu Zihang and Su Yurou.

“Su Wan, why are you sitting in the corner drinking fruit juice alone? Would you like to have some champagne?”

Su Wan raised her head and the face that came into sight was Lu Qingyu’s. She smiled sarcastically.

Although tonight was a charity dinner, Lu Qingyu was dressed up casually as usual. A gold-trimmed suit was worn loosely and the top buttons on his shirt were opened like usual.

“Master Lu, you should be busy at this hour, flirting with little girls who do not know the danger of the world. Why are you this free to look for me?”

“Cough, cough, when a great beauty stands in front of me, little girls cannot attract me.”

Su Wan sulkily darted him a side glance. She took a sip of fruit juice and said, “Thank you for your compliment, Master Lu. I have goose bumps listening to what you said.”

Jiang Xuecheng had obviously noticed them from the front but he believed Su Wan had the IQ to solve this problem. Hence, he chose to observe from afar and when things got out of hand, he would appear.

Lu Qingyu was used to Su Wan’s sharp tongue. He sat opposite Su Wan without minding. His pair of amorous eyes that could easily enchant people had a faint smile.

“Su Wan, I have not seen you attend such party in the past. Since you’re here today, why not waltz with me, to suppress your enemies from stealing the limelight?”

Then, Lu Qingyu pointed to a couple who started dancing in the middle of the hall and the most obvious couple on the dance floor were Gu Zihang and Su Yurou.

Both their appearances were outstanding and coupled with their graceful dance steps, they became the center of attraction. Both of them followed the rhythm of the music as they danced like the prince and princess in fairy tales.

Su Wan laughed faintly. Following Lu Qingyu’s finger, she looked at the dazzling pair on the dance floor. She then placed her glass down.

“I’m sorry, I can’t waltz.”
