Chapter 515: Chapter 407: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Lady Sabotages Everything 47

Su Zhiruan followed Xie Yanshang into the room.

“You must hate me deeply!” The old master looked at the two of them, who remained vigilant without getting too close to him, so he slowly smirked with a bitter smile. His voice was hoarse and tearing, just listening to it felt overtly repulsive. “I was always against you two being together, actively tried to match you with the Zhou Family’s young lady. Now, I’m curious whether, having given up on Miss Zhou, your days together are still as firm as when you rebutted me, as indestructible as gold and emotion?”

In the darkness, Xie Yanshang took Su Zhiruan’s hand, his voice indifferent, “That should surprise you, we got married!”

Su Zhiruan cooperated by holding his hand and looked toward the old master.

The old master seemed not to believe in love, his face was mocking when he spoke earlier, as if he had already foreseen their future. Now, upon hearing Xie Yanshang’s reply, his expression went through a series of changes.

What was once sneered with confidence crumbled in an instant, cracks forming gradually, until it fell apart completely, and then he was broken through.

“Married… You got married?!” The old master rose feebly from his wheelchair, even his eyes uncontrollably widened a great deal.

“We haven’t held the wedding ceremony yet, but it should be happening soon,” Xie Yanshang said, his expression softened a lot when he mentioned the wedding. Even his gaze at the old master wasn’t as cold as before, “If Grandfather would like to come, you’re always welcome!”

The old master didn’t take any of this in. His lips trembled, his hand clinging to the dragon-headed cane also shook, and he kept murmuring to himself, “Married… you’re married…”

“Alright, you two go out first!” The old master seemed to regain his composure all at once, his gaze cold as he looked at Su Zhiruan and Xie Yanshang, “I need to change my clothes, the banquet is about to start.”

Having said that, Mr. Xie turned his head away, no longer looking at them, and dialed his secretary on his cell phone, “Come in and take them out, then prepare my clothes.”

“Yes, Chairman.” The secretary answered, pushing the door open and walking in, gesturing for them to follow him out with a “please” motion.

Xie Yanshang and Su Zhiruan walked out into the corridor where the lights overhead shone in, blinding them for a moment since they had just gotten used to the darkness.

The banquet was about to begin.

Everyone present was an influential figure leading their respective fields. Those who attended this banquet were either wealthy or noble, and they enjoyed socializing in such a gathering.

Even though the Xie Family had been embroiled in a number of incidents lately, their strength was evident to all; a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and even if the Xie Family had lost some ground lately, everyone knew it was just a minor hiccup.

Xie Yanshang, the Xie Family’s legitimate eldest grandson, was a ruthless figure in business. Although he had recently announced his resignation, no one believed he would stand idly by when the Xie Family faced peril.

No sooner had Xie Yanshang and Su Zhiruan come downstairs than someone took him aside, “Young Master Xie, Young Master Li wishes to see you.”

“You go ahead, I’ll take a walk around here and wait for you,” Su Zhiruan let go of Xie Yanshang, waving at him.

“I’ll be right back.” Xie Yanshang held her hand and then let it go, his gaze lingering on her, which caused quite a stir among the onlookers.

Who could have imagined that Xie Yanshang, who once was aloof and indifferent, distancing himself from these people, would now become a wife-doting ‘Demon’!

If someone had said before that the future Xie Yanshang wouldn’t be able to speak three sentences without mentioning his wife, they would have dismissed it as a fantasy. But now, that became reality!

Su Zhiruan didn’t go downstairs; instead, she picked up the hem of her dress and took a seat on a sofa on the second floor.

The first floor was abuzz with social interaction, champagne, and dazzling guests. People held their glasses and moved among the tycoons that could benefit them most, all wearing smiles as if everyone was a great partner, without mentioning any past unpleasantness.

Of course, there were also those who couldn’t suppress their eagerness and initiated provocations.

Su Zhiruan was sitting in a secluded conservatory on the second floor, which was a semi-open area. The occasional breeze made the various flowers sway in the air, spreading different fragrances that were refreshing and pleasing.

Originally, she planned to just rest until Xie Yanshang returned and then go downstairs, but unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes upon hearing footsteps again, she found herself surrounded by several women.

“So you’re Su Zhiruan?!”

The lead woman was in a silver mermaid dress, holding a light gold champagne in one hand and resting the other on her arm, casually swirling the glass.

This woman seemed to be the center of the group; she was the most gorgeous of them, with a prideful look in her eyes and a mole between her brows, looking down on Su Zhiruan from above.

“Who are you?” Seeing that she meant no good, Su Zhiruan nevertheless just sat up and leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, “Speak plainly if you have something to say.”

“You should have heard of me,” the woman in the mermaid dress handed her champagne to a friend beside her, “I’m the Miss of the Zhou Family, supposed to be Brother Yanshang’s fiancée!”

“What are you?” Miss Zhou looked down at Su Zhiruan, toying with her jewelry, arrogantly and provocatively staring at her.
