Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 214 My Little Baby...

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 My Little Baby...

The banquet hall.

The banquet had already started, filled with the scent of perfume and the bustle of people, opulent and grand.

Su Rongxing wore a low-cut red evening dress, radiant and eye-catching as she moved effortlessly among the guests, engaging in social interactions.

Someone approached her from within the crowd. She smiled slightly and moved to the side, taking a glass of wine from a waiter’s tray, sipping it lightly.

The person reached her. He was somewhat graceful, his gaze glued to her face, filled with admiration and infatuation. "You look truly beautiful today."

Su Rongxing smiled silently. "Why not drink? Could it be that the wine at my home isn’t as good as the one at the bar down the street?"

The man chuckled. "The joy of drinking is who you drink with, not the wine itself."

"Is that so?" Su Rongxing took another sip, then placed the glass down on a small bar table, the rim of the glass marked with her lipstick.

The man picked up her glass, placing his lips where her lipstick mark was, drinking slowly until not a drop was left.

Su Rongxing laughed, "Does it taste good?"

He smacked his lips, eyes intoxicated. "Indescribably beautiful."

Su Rongxing laughed heartily, but her gaze moved past his shoulder to the newcomer at the door. The gentleman’s suit hadn’t changed much, yet the same white shirt and black suit looked striking on him, unmatched by anyone else; even her eldest brother seemed too ordinary. No one could compare to his solitary and chillingly otherworldly presence. As he stepped from the deep night into the bright lights, he resembled an exiled immortal descending to earth, shrouded in mist.

In the noisy venue with the surging crowd, her world suddenly quieted, as if the crowd had disappeared, with only him in her eyes.

Unfortunately, he would never be hers again...

Her heart ached painfully.

She pushed aside the person blocking her and walked directly toward him, weaving through the bustling people, unaware of how many she bumped into or how many greeted her to no response. She felt that just getting to him, though only at a banquet hall, was a seemingly long journey. By the time she finally stood before him, her eyes were filled with tears.

His gaze, as cold as ice, matched his solitary icy demeanor, freezing the three words on her lips—Su Ronggui.

"Second Brother." She abruptly changed her address, throwing herself into his arms.

This was her first time calling him "Second Brother," causing him to pause slightly. She feared that if she didn’t call him this, he would have no relation to her, so she preferred calling him "Second Brother"...

He stood stiffly, pulling her away. "I’ll go see Father first."

"Okay!" She smiled through her tears, fearing the tears would ruin her makeup. She gently wiped them and followed behind him.

The two walked to Su Zhen and his wife. By then, Su Rongxing was all smiles. "Dad, Second Brother is here!"

"Ronggui!" Su Zhen naturally saw him, greeting his stepson with kindness while chiding his daughter. "Still clinging to your Second Brother!" Although it was intended as a reprimand, his eyes were full of affection. Then he put an arm around his stepson’s shoulder. "Come, meet a few of the kids, talented ones who’ve grown up and are working at the company now."

Su Zhen led him to the young people he had sponsored, introducing his stepson to them, pointing to one in the middle. "This is Changqing, the first to join the company, almost three years now. The others came this year. You young people should talk."

As he was speaking, an exaggerated voice resounded. "Oh my, my dear baby brother is back!"

Hearing this voice made Su Zhen’s head ache. If they were at home, he would have surely thrown an ashtray back. But outside, he could only endure, his temple pulsing.

Su Rongcheng, arm-in-arm with Xin Wan, emerged from the crowd, walking gracefully toward them.

Su Zhen really couldn’t stand it, frowning with a disappointed expression. "As an elder brother, you should learn from Ronggui’s steadiness, rather than being so unruly every day."

Su Rongcheng paid no mind, spreading his arms to embrace Su Ronggui. "As an elder brother, I must love my dear baby brother."

Su Ronggui, feeling disgusted, blocked his arms. "Where is Rongyu?"

"Over there!" Su Rongxing pointed.

Su Rongyu was having fun with a group of fops.

Su Zhen instantly felt irritated, thinking that his two sons could not have a normal day. He needed to properly discipline them; ignoring their steadiness compared to his stepson, after spending so much effort and money to cultivate his sons, they still couldn’t compare to these kids from the mountains!

In the distance, a man holding a cup marked with lipstick watched the Su family, smiling. A waiter passed by with a tray of wine, and he took a cup, pouring the new wine into the old cup, still drinking from where the lipstick mark was.

The banquet had several segments. Su Zhen and his wife addressed the guests, and Su Rongcheng signed new employees on-site, the newly graduated sponsored kids. Changqing also represented all sponsored children, delivering an emotional speech, expressing gratitude to Su Zhen for being a paternal figure in their lives, and vowed to pass on the kindness received. Now working, he also sponsors children in the mountains. He hoped more recipients would pass on kindness like a torch. After his speech, all sponsored children attending the banquet bowed to Su Zhen, calling him: Father.

Su Zhen was deeply moved, his eyes reddening on the spot, and declared that this was his ultimate goal in charity. He wished to help others and would engage in more charitable acts in his lifetime to repay society, but also hoped his actions would inspire others to also engage in philanthropy. Thus, Su Zhen donated a school and libraries at his sons’ alma maters during the event, turning the banquet into a charity gathering.

Shang Qingmei had been busy all night, perhaps on purpose or simply lacking time, hardly speaking with Su Ronggui.

As the event ended and most guests left, with the Su family about to disperse, Su Ronggui bid farewell to Su Zhen, intending to drive his own car.

Shang Qingmei stood beside Su Zhen. Her son bid farewell to his stepfather but ignored her?

Her face turned ashen with anger, but with Su Zhen beside her, she couldn’t lose her temper or question her son, leaving her only to watch as he drove away. She contemplated, but already had a plan.

The Su family’s side was indeed lavish, but elsewhere, things differed.

Fan Yue was waiting for Cui Pei at home, nodding off without her returning. Recently under much psychological pressure, he hadn’t slept well and had fallen asleep while waiting.
