As soon as Sheng Yunzhou and his female companion entered the venue, Xu Haicheng saw them, but because of his position, he could only see their backs.
At first, he felt that the lady looked familiar, and her back was really pleasing to the eye, so he took a closer look. When she turned around, he was surprised to find that it was Su Yi, whom he had not seen for a while.
Ever since their last chance encounter on the roadside at the kindergarten, these days, whenever he passed by that area, he would unconsciously slow down his car and glance at the parents outside the window, but he never found Su Yi among them.
While doing all this, he had no idea what he would say if he really met the other person.
He and Su Yi have known each other for quite some time, but they could never be said to have any friendship. It was just that he and Sheng Yanchuan were good friends, and Su Yi had unilaterally regarded herself as Sheng Yanchuan's girlfriend, so they had some interactions.
Later, Lin Luoluo appeared. Su Yi always made things difficult for her. He chose to protect Lin Luoluo. After several conflicts, the two could be said to be disgusted with each other. If it weren't for the accident that happened later, they would probably have hated each other forever.
Of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't hate him anymore.
Thinking of the two previous encounters and Su Yi's complete disregard for him, Xu Haicheng smiled bitterly with almost helplessness.
The other person was still the same, but he had changed without even realizing it.
Is it because of that child
It is undeniable that even though the child does not look like his child from the outside and from the attitude of Su Yi and the Su family, he sometimes can't help but wonder, if it is true...
The solution is simple: a paternity test will do. He has been hesitant because he knows that if the answer is positive, he will take responsibility, and that means saying goodbye to his previous relationship and starting over.
He has been watching over Lin Luoluo for ten years, neither close nor far away, and he is not sure whether he can let go completely or whether he has the courage to start over.
That's why he has been hesitant.
But his change of mentality was not just because of that child.
Xu Haicheng stared at Su Yi's delicate profile unconsciously. He found that she loved to smile now, her eyebrows were always relaxed, and her face no longer had the harshness she used to show when she mocked others. Instead, her face was lively and gorgeous to the extreme. Among the many ladies at the party, none could compare with her in appearance and temperament.
At this time, he also heard the discussions and speculations of others present about the two people.
ridiculous.
This was Xu Haicheng's first reaction. No one knew Su Yi's feelings for Sheng Yanchuan better than him. How could she be involved with his uncle
However, another voice in his heart said, if he was considering letting go of Lin Luoluo, why couldn't Su Yi
He held the wine glass absentmindedly and seemed to be talking to someone, but he actually didn't know what he was saying. When Su Yi was left alone, before she could react, he was already standing in front of the other person.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Su Yi put a piece of cream-covered cake into her mouth and took the time to look at him. She was always in a good mood when it came to food, so she didn't mind saying a few words to the biological father of her adopted son.
"What's up?" Sue asked, scooping up a spoonful of ice cream.
In such occasions, everyone is busy socializing. Men talk about economy and cooperation, women talk about fashion and jewelry. Most people hold a glass of champagne and take a sip from time to time, just to moisten their lips. There are people who eat like her, but she is the only one who doesn't care about her figure or the eyes of others.
She eats generously but not rudely, and even when she talks with a spoon in her hand, she still looks frank and cute. Xu Haicheng never knew that he could find so many good qualities in Su Yi, or was it because his mentality had changed that he felt different from before
He took a sip of wine to hide his absent-mindedness and said, "I just saw you here by accident. How are you doing recently?"
"It's delicious, what do you think?" Su Yi glanced at him hurriedly, as if to say what nonsense you are asking.
Xu Haicheng coughed lightly. No woman had ever been so inattentive when talking to him, not even Lin Luoluo. But at this moment, he didn't feel offended.
Seeing Sui leaning forward to get some juice, but being unable to move due to her dress, he took the initiative to bring her a glass.
Su Yi then looked him straight in the eye and said, "Thank you."
At this moment, Xu Haicheng finally realized that in Su Yi's eyes, he was no more worthy of attention than a glass of juice, and she did not even hide this fact.
He had some questions he wanted to ask, such as why she hadn't picked up the child recently, how she met Sheng Yunzhou, and was there really an ambiguous relationship between them
And now that he knew, he was in no position to ask any of that.
Xu Haicheng took a big gulp of champagne. When he swallowed it, he saw Sheng Yunzhou walking towards him. His eyes were on Su Yi the whole time. He only nodded to him when he came up to him.
He also greeted, "Mr. Sheng, nice to meet you."
Xu Haicheng heard that many years ago, his father and Sheng Yunzhou's eldest brother were good friends. Unfortunately, the other party died young, and the only remaining head of the family seldom interacted with others due to poor health, so the friendship between the two families became as shallow as it is now.
It's not that he had never seen Sheng Yunzhou before, but the last time he saw him, his thin and sickly appearance left a deep impression on him. Now that he saw him again, except for the lack of blood color on his face, he looked no different from an ordinary person.
Could it be that the Sheng family found a famous doctor with superb medical skills
Or is it that because the mental state has improved, the physical state has also improved
As for the source of his transformation, Xu Haicheng subconsciously looked at Su Yi.
Su Yi also noticed Sheng Yunzhou. She did not forget that she came to the cocktail party to be the other party's female companion, so she put down the food in her hand and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Sheng Yunzhou shook his head, took out the handkerchief from his chest pocket and handed it to her, "Every time I go out for a social event, Qin's mother will make a midnight snack when I get home. If you want to eat, you should remember to save some space."
"Of course. No matter how delicious these desserts are, they can't compare to Qin's mom's cooking." Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately gave up the idea of picking up the plate again, took the handkerchief, and said thank you.
"Do you know Mr. Xu?" Sheng Yunzhou looked at the two of them and asked gently.
Su Yi pursed her lips with a handkerchief and nodded, "Of course I know him. Besides being good friends with Sheng Yanchuan, we are also high school alumni, right?" She asked Xu Haicheng for confirmation.
However, Xu Haicheng's full attention had been drawn to the content of the two people's conversation just now.
Hearing them casually mention words like home and midnight snack, are they living together now
He found it hard to believe.
It was clear that not long ago, Sui was raising the child alone, and now less than a month has passed. What happened in between
Xu Haicheng was a little dazed. He just nodded when he heard Su Yi's words, took a sip of wine in an upset mood, and then looked at the two of them talking in a low voice. He couldn't stay here anymore. Someone happened to be calling him from somewhere else, so he said excuse me and left.
"Don't you need to socialize with others?" Su Yi asked Sheng Yunzhou after seeing Xu Haicheng leave.
Sheng Yunzhou said: "I have met everyone I should greet."
At the party, except for a few older people, not many people needed him to say hello actively. However, there were many people who wanted to come and talk to him, but no one approached them, so they could only watch from afar.
Su Yi said "oh" and looked around the venue. All the people present were successful people. They were full of confidence and behaved calmly. The women they brought with them were also elegantly dressed. However, once they knew that Qin's mother had prepared a midnight snack waiting for them at home, these things no longer had any appeal to her.
Sheng Yunzhou probably saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Let's run away."
Su Yi raised an eyebrow, "Can we leave now?"
Sheng Yunzhou's answer was to take her hand directly and say sorry to the host of the cocktail party. The two of them left in the same way they came, under the attention of everyone.
He said sorry, it was a polite remark, out of courtesy, who could really say he shouldn't have left early? You know, his appearance was unexpected, it was a surprise to the host, it was a proud thing.
But no one expected that he would actually leave holding Miss Su's hand. Was this a response to what others had just said
Could it be that Miss Su, who has fallen into the dust, can really fly back to the top and even rise much higher than before
After the two left, the discussion did not stop. Instead, it became even louder because the parties involved were not present.
Someone suddenly said, "Could it be that the illegitimate child of the Su family is Mr. Sheng's?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a brief silence at the banquet, and then several ladies covered their mouths and exclaimed.
“Maybe it is.”
"I also think it's very possible. Otherwise, why would Mr. Sheng like Su Yi?" The person who said this had a bit of sour tone.
Of course, she's not the only one who's jealous.
They may not really like Sheng Yunzhou. Although he is good-looking and gentlemanly, his frail body makes people stay away from him.
But he has the Sheng family. If she is really favored by him, won't she be able to spend the rest of her life in luxury? And if she has his child, won't the Sheng family belong to them in the future
Just thinking about it makes one's heart boil, not to mention that Sui Yi is in that position now, how can one not be jealous!
As for Su Yi, she was a little confused as she looked at her hand being held by Sheng Yunzhou.
This... should be what she meant, right
Even though she was a devil and had never been in love, she still had some experience in being liked by others. After all, in the last world, her cheap brother Xiao Yan had the same idea.
But the problem is, when Xiao Yan liked her, she didn't know he was a demon wolf, so she had no pressure to reject him. Now that she knows who is Sheng Yunzhou under this shell, she feels a little...
Well, she did feel it was a bit subtle. It happened once, and twice. And both times, the Demon Wolf had no memory of the past. So why did he fall in love with her
Could he have forgotten that when they were in the demon world, they rolled in the same mud pit, slept in the same cave, and even wore the same pants? That was a brotherly friendship! How could he be so passionate!
