Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Many people recognized them instantly. Some even tried to create good rapport for future collaboration opportunities and surrounded them quickly with flattering smiles and greetings.

“Mr. Gu and the young missy of Sheng Yuan Group are here!”

“Ah, Mr. Gu, Miss Su, I’ve admired you both for a long time. Looking at you today, both of you are a match made in heaven!”

“Yes, yes, I heard both of you are about to have your engagement party in several days. Could we attend the party?”

Gu Zihang and Su Yurou were obviously used to being in the limelight. Both of them had friendly and approachable smiles on their faces but unhidden arrogance in their eyes.

Su Yurou smiled gently. “Everyone is too friendly, please do not block our way.”

Gu Zihang waved his hand gently toward the crowd with the intention to ask the people to make way but then he saw S City’s mayor, Meng Bin, standing at the staircase to the entrance. Gu Zihang’s eyes lit up.

One of the important people who would decide on the final result of the bid for Beitong was Meng Bin. It might be good if he could take this opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.

It wasn’t that Gu Zihang had not wanted to approach Meng Bin earlier on to build his rapport with him, but Meng Bin’s whereabouts were usually unknown. Even if he tried to make an appointment personally, Meng Bin’s assistant would decline, saying he was busy. That was why Gu Zihang was excited when he saw him.

Gu Zihang wanted to walk toward Meng Bin but Meng Bin seemed to have seen him too. Meng Bin seemed to be nodding toward him and walking down the stairs.

Gu Zihang was overwhelmed. He smiled warmly as he held Su Yurou.

As Meng Bin came nearer, Gu Zihang tugged Su Yurou and was about to greet him, “Hello, Mayor Meng, I...”

Never had he expected Meng Bin to walk firmly past him! He seemed to not have heard him.

Gu Zihang turned pale. He had never been ignored by someone like this before. Who had caught Meng Bin’s attention more than himself?

Anger arose in Gu Zihang’s heart but despite being angry, Gu Zihang tugged Su Yurou and followed Meng Bin. He wanted to see who Meng Bin was welcoming.

Gu Zihang was not the only person who was curious. People who were surrounding Gu Zihang and Su Yurou started turning and looking toward the driveway.

A black Koenigsegg Agera R was coming to the driveway speedily like an arrow leaving its bow.

In S City and even in the entire Jiuzhou, only one person drove a Koenigsegg Agera R and that person was the authoritative figure of Di Chen Group...

Gu Zihang’s heart was sinking. He initially thought the indifferent young master would not attend such an occasion.

However, he had appeared and the one thing that could arouse his interest was none other than the bid for Beitong.

However, what would surprise him even more had yet to appear.

The co-driver’s door was opened slowly and a hand as fair as jade came to sight first. That delicate hand obviously belonged to a lady.

Everyone’s mind exploded and a sentence unanimously appeared in their minds—the young master had brought a woman to attend?

This had never happened before!

Everyone’s heart was beating fast and had great interest in the owner of this hand. Before waiting for long, the owner of the hand appeared.

A beautiful and elegant lady came into sight and the onlookers were breathtakingly amazed!

She was such a beautiful lady and no one had seen her in any dinners before in the past.

At one glance, she was wearing a plain white evening gown and her black hair was tied up high into a bun with a white jade pin holding it together. She had curved, willow-like eyebrows, a pair of almond eyes, and a lustrous pearl necklace rested atop her ivory collarbone, making her looked more refined.

However, compared to the other young ladies from noble families, this girl was wrapped up too tightly, sending regrets to many of the men present. Evening gowns were best in showing off the figure but tonight, they could not feast their eyes.

Just when everyone was feeling sorry for this, Jiang Xuecheng exited the car.

Everyone’s eyes moved towards him.

Jiang Xuecheng had removed his thin windbreaker and was currently wearing a simple black suit with a plain colored shirt. That honorable and respectable face was still expressionless and was as cold and as solemn as usual.

Jiang Xuecheng’s strong aura was probably the reason some curious people stopped whispering and discussing about Su Wan’s identity. There was a strange silence around.

The mayor of S City, Meng Bin, walked toward Jiang Xuecheng quickly. Rarely seen respect radiated from him as he greeted, “Master Jiang, you’re here. Your seat is ready. Shall I bring you over?”

Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He was tall and handsome. He turned around and glanced at Su Wan calmly. “Let’s go, Miss Su.”

Su Wan showed a professional smile and tried following Jiang Xuecheng’s pace calmly. “Yes, Mr. Jiang.”

When they saw Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan leaving, the people who were shocked by Jiang Xuecheng’s indifferent and elegant aura slowly regained their senses.

They automatically moved a little to make way for Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan. They stood by the side to examine Jiang Xuecheng and his female partner whom they had not seen before.

From the conversation between the young master and his partner, their relationship seemed to be as simple as one between a superior and subordinate. However, no matter their relationship, this couple were destined to be in the limelight.

From their appearance, both of them looked like a matching couple. Since they appeared, the CEO of Gu Group and the young missy of Sheng Yuan had been cast into the shade.

Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan walked ahead, as if not bothered by the curious eyes.

Su Wan, who was half a step behind Jiang Xuecheng, was not as relaxed as her husband was with people shooting close glances at her.

Some of them seemed curious and some had obvious evil intentions, putting Su Wan on tenterhooks.

She had said earlier that she did not like social occasions like this. Some of these people were either rich or powerful and when they examined others, they did so openly without hiding.

If possible, she would rather not be in the center stage.

Su Wan trailed behind Jiang Xuecheng as they walked forward. When they passed by Gu Zihang, her beautiful face was indifferent, as if both of them were strangers.

Gu Zihang’s face was suddenly long and his heart seemed to have been cut by a knife. Since when did the little girl, who had always admired him and trailed behind him, treat him like a stranger?

Even a face full of enmity was better than her not sparing a glance at him.

Looking at the resplendent Su Wan, Gu Zihang’s heart ached badly. He felt as if he had been betrayed.

He remembered that Su Wan did not like attending social occasions like this in the past but today, she had broken a precedence for the sake of another man!

Su Yurou looked at Su Wan who had walked a distance away from them. Her beautiful face was now pale and her expression was complicated.
