After breakfast the next day, Sheng Yunzhou had someone send over several dresses and jewelry for Su Yi to choose from.
The clothes were laid out on the sofa in Sue's bedroom, and the stylist was giving her advice.
“… Black and white are the most classic colors, and it’s not easy to go wrong, but they may not be particularly outstanding. Miss Su has a good figure and such fair skin, so she can try other colors…”
"Mom, Sheng Hengrong said--" Su Liyan rushed in and saw that there was someone else in the room. The voice gradually disappeared. When he blinked again, he saw clothes covering the sofa and coffee table.
He was very familiar with this scene. In the past, when their family had their own big house, his mother would often pick and choose from many clothes, dress up beautifully and go out, and then would not come home until one or two days later or even several days later.
The little brat instantly forgot his purpose, ran over and grabbed Su Yi's waist, looking up at her pitifully: "Where are you going? When will you be back?"
This brat has even learned to act pitiful.
Su Yi tapped his forehead, "Uncle Sheng invited me to a cocktail party. I'll be there tonight and back in the evening. Sheng Hengrong's mother will come to pick him up later. You'll follow Granny Qin and be good. Don't run out. Do you hear me?"
"Oh." The child responded with a pout.
"What did you say happened to Sheng Hengrong?"
"By the way! Sheng Hengrong said I can go to his house to play, is that okay?"
"Today?" Sue shook her finger. "I'm afraid not. Did you forget that you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow? Wait until the holiday. You'll have a lot of free time during the holiday."
The child became even more depressed, his shoulders drooped, and he looked very pitiful. "Okay..."
But Su Yi was not prepared to compromise. The two little kids were too active yesterday and this morning. They had to be separated and let them calm down, otherwise they would go crazy.
Su Li'an ran out of the room, and Su Yi continued to try on the dress.
The stylist was right. With Su Yi's looks, no matter what she wore, she would be eye-catching. In the end, she almost picked one at random with her eyes closed.
Not long after lunch, Sheng Hengrong was taken back. Su Yi sent Su Lian to take a nap while she herself had to have her nails, hair, and makeup done by the stylist.
In the evening, Ms. Xu came and talked with Qin's mother downstairs for a while.
"The Third Master is in the study, and Miss Su is trying on clothes in the room."
Ms. Xu glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor but did not go up immediately. She frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"What's wrong with you?" Mother Qin came closer, and thought of something, so she lowered her voice and asked tentatively, "Are you not happy about the Third Master and Miss Su getting closer?"
Although Ms. Xu didn't come every day, she would learn about Sheng Yunzhou's situation through Qin's mother and Uncle Gu, and naturally knew about his interactions with Su Yi. As a mother, she quickly guessed what her son was thinking.
Ms. Xu shook her head, motioned her to sit next to her, and sighed, "I'm just a little surprised."
Although she knew that her son was attracted to Su Yi, she didn't think much about it at first. To be frank, in her opinion, this attraction was similar to Sheng Yunzhou's attention to a bird or a puppy, except that the target was a human being.
Because Sheng Yunzhou had a weak constitution, no one knew how long he could live, and no one dared to joke with his body. Therefore, for more than 30 years, he had been completely isolated from matters involving men and women. Even Ms. Xu almost forgot that her son could also be attracted to the opposite sex.
Qin's mother thought that she was not satisfied with Su Yi. After all, she had no family background, was very young and had a big child. From this point of view, the two were indeed not a good match. She could only comfort her: "Miss Su is actually a very good person."
"I know, and I don't have any problem with her."
She sighed, not for Su Yi, but for Sheng Yunzhou, who had never had any emotional experience.
Love is something that you should never try. Once you try it, in addition to the tempting sweet fruit, you also have to bear the risk of being pierced by the thorns on the fruit and becoming a bloody mess.
Her son has already suffered enough physical pain, and she is really worried that he will also experience mental pain.
Ms. Xu knew that Qin's mother would not lie, and from several meetings with Su Yi, this girl was not as bad as the rumors said, but a very special girl.
But love is never reasonable. It will not show mercy and give a happy ending just because the two parties are good enough. There are many people who love each other but always hurt each other and can never be together.
She was afraid that Sheng Yunzhou would become one of them.
"Don't think too much," Qin's mother said, "Old Gu and I have seen it with our own eyes these days. Since Miss Su came, the Third Master has indeed changed a lot. Last night, he went for a walk with Miss Su and the two children. This kind of thing was unthinkable before. Who can predict what will happen in the future? But everyone can see what is happening now, don't you think?"
Ms. Xu was silent for a while, then nodded and said with a sigh, "Yes."
She really shouldn't worry too much. With Yunzhou's health, who can guarantee what will happen in the future? If there is any accident...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and thought about another key question, "Aqin, in your opinion, does Miss Su have the same feelings for Yunzhou?"
Mother Qin hesitated for a moment: "This... I dare not say too much, but judging from how they get along, Miss Su should also have a good impression of them."
Ms. Xu nodded slightly. She actually knew more than Qin's mother, such as Su Yi's love for Sheng Yanchuan and Su Li'an's biological father. As a mother, she didn't quite agree with Sheng Yunzhou's feelings for Su Yi. That girl had more experience. But at the same time, her upbringing and life experience prevented her from interfering too much.
She went to the study to see Sheng Yunzhou and said a few words about his recent condition. She inadvertently mentioned the evening party and said, "If I had known that you invited Miss Su, I would have brought a few sets of jewelry from my youth and let her see if there was anything she liked."
Sheng Yunzhou looked up at her from the documents and said, "It's still a little early now, maybe next time."
Ms. Xu's words were somewhat tentative, but Sheng Yunzhou's response of just a few words let her know that he was serious.
This is the first time in so many years, and it is very likely to be the only time.
After nightfall, the car waited outside.
Su Yi walked out of the room, and Sheng Yunzhou happened to come out of the room. He was wearing a three-piece suit and his hair was neatly combed. He looked gentlemanly and gentle. Although his face was a little pale, he had a unique appeal when he looked at him.
Hearing the voice, he turned his head and looked over. After seeing Su Yi, he was distracted for a moment, but he quickly recovered and smiled and said softly: "I'm afraid that tonight, I will be envied by all the men in the audience."
Su Yi was wearing a light ice blue sleeveless dress. The V-neck was not too deep, but wide, revealing her perfect collarbone. Her back also had a big V-shape. Her fair and firm back skin had no trace of fat. Her butterfly bones trembled as she walked, which made her look extremely beautiful. She only wore a pair of diamond earrings and no necklace. As the stylist said just now, any decoration on her neck would not be as eye-catching as her neck.
Sue just looked in the mirror and felt quite satisfied, but receiving compliments always makes people happy.
She raised her chin and jokingly said, "How dare I not give my all to Mr. Sheng who has entrusted me with this?"
Sheng Yunzhou stretched out his arms to her, Su Yi cooperated and took his arm, and they went downstairs together.
Downstairs, the park staff who had not yet left looked up at the two of them, their expressions filled with amazement.
They knew from the beginning that Miss Su was a beauty, but they didn't expect that after dressing up, she would be so beautiful. Standing next to Mr. Sheng, one was calm and elegant, the other was bright and charming, but they were surprisingly well matched.
"Mom, you look so beautiful today." Su Li'an lay on the back of the sofa in the living room, and after thinking for a while, she added, "Uncle Sheng is also very handsome."
Sheng Yunzhou smiled and said thank you, and Su Yi walked up to scratch his chin, "I'll be back soon. When the cartoon is over, go to bed and sleep. I'll check on your room when I come back, okay?"
Su Liyan nodded obediently.
The staff members watched this scene, and some of them felt a little sorry. In their opinion, Miss Su's appearance was indeed impeccable, but it was a pity that she had a child. With a family background like the Sheng family, how could they accept a woman with a child as a daughter-in-law? If she wanted to use this opportunity to fly back to the family, it would be difficult.
For fear of wasting time, Su Yi simply gave a few instructions and went out with Sheng Yunzhou.
When they arrived, almost all the guests in the banquet hall had arrived.
The head of the Sheng family and the bankrupt young lady of the Su family, these two standing together are enough to surprise many people.
Although everyone suppressed their curiosity, the buzz of discussion had not been heard since the two men entered.
Sheng Yunzhou seldom attends such occasions, and people outside don't know much about his recovery. They only know that the head of the Sheng family has been sick, sick, and sick again. After the last dangerous incident, many people were wondering how long he could hold on.
As a result, now, the person who was said to be terminally ill and dying, suddenly appeared in this lively and energetic state
As for Su Yi, since the Su family went bankrupt, Miss Su was quickly forgotten by the upper class circle. No one expected to see her again in such an occasion. She looked more beautiful and charming than before, and she even stood next to Sheng Yunzhou.
Many people were curious about what she had been doing during her absence and how she had caught the attention of the Sheng family.
Although she received more attention than the host of the banquet, Su Yi had never known what the word "stage fright" meant. She followed Sheng Yunzhou with ease, playing the role of a diligent vase.
"Are you tired?" Sheng Yunzhou tilted his head and asked her in a low voice during a conversation.
"As energetic as those two little brats," said Sue.
Sheng Yunzhou laughed.
The people opposite him looked at this scene in surprise and even horror. It was not strange for Sheng Yunzhou to smile. Even when facing business rivals, he still smiled like a gentleman, but that kind of smile was completely different from the intimacy and joy of the smile now.
If just now, the other party viewed their relationship with a kind of self-righteous ambiguity, now, he has unconsciously corrected his attitude.
Because it seems that the relationship between the head of the Sheng family and Miss Su is not just a casual transaction.
Su Yi stood beside Sheng Yunzhou for a while without looking away, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food and ran to the buffet table.
As soon as she stood still, someone who had been paying attention to her came over.
"Long time no see." Xu Haicheng said, looking at Su Yi with a complicated look.
