The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 361 - Chapter 361 I am the reason

Chapter 361: I am the reason Chapter 361: I am the reason “Your expression doesn’t look the slightest bit innocent. With that third-rate acting of yours, how can you still be the country’s hottest female star? Getting big-headed from a few compliments? What now? You stain my clothes and play the victim when I call you out? Am I just supposed to accept this injustice?!”

Xiao Yize held a glass of wine, standing by in silence, his stunningly handsome face betraying no emotion. He cast a fleeting, meaningful glance at Ye Zhichen, a profound gleam flickering deep within his eyes.

However, his demeanor remained unchanged. He sipped his wine lightly, every gesture exuding nobility and elegance, causing the faces of the surrounding women to turn red in secret.

Mo Shangjie’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but give Ye Zhichen a thumbs-up.

“I never thought she could talk like that. Has Ye Zhichen gone mad?”

The scolding came one sentence after another, leaving no room for rebuttal.

Su Xinyan bit her lip, shook her head at Ye Zhichen with a look of fear of being wrongly accused.

“Sister Zhichen, I didn’t mean it that way… I… I’m sorry, but I really didn’t do it on purpose… Can you please not be mad?”

Ye Zhichen, looking at Su Xinyan’s feigned innocence, felt a surge of anger rise again.

No wonder Xiao Ran was unable to defend herself in the Su Family!

Such acting, such tactics, truly the spitting image of her “Mistress Mom.”

At this moment, Gu Heng said with a stern face:

“Enough, Ye Zhichen. Everything has its limits. Xinyan has already apologized. What more do you want?”

Ye Zhichen cast a cold glance at Gu Heng and Su Xinyan and snorted.

“I want you to get out of my sight. Can you do that?!”

Gu Heng’s eyes were dauntingly cold, his brows deeply furrowed.

“Ye Zhichen, this isn’t a place where you can make a scene!”

“What big talk, President Gu!”

Upon hearing this.

Ye Zhichen turned her head to see Su Ran approaching slowly, the crowd parting to make way for her imposing presence.

“Ran!”

Ye Zhichen’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Ran arrived by her side. “Were you bullied?”

Ye Zhichen looked down and nodded.

“…”

“…”

Su Ran asked again, “Feel better now?”

This time, Ye Zhichen shook her head.

“…”

“…”

To insult someone like that without feeling satisfied, is this woman a devil?

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, glanced around, and then caught the eye of a nearby waiter, gesturing him over.

The waiter hesitated but approached them nonetheless.

Su Ran didn’t speak, but instead took a glass of wine from the tray and handed it to Ye Zhichen.

“Take this.”

Ye Zhichen was confused but took the glass anyway.

“What for?”

Su Ran looked up at Su Xinyan, her gaze ice-cold, unsettling her with a bad premonition.

“She stained your clothes?”

Ye Zhichen nodded, still seething with anger.

Su Ran also nodded, “Watch carefully.”

“Huh?”

Ye Zhichen looked at Su Ran, confused, only to see her suddenly grab her wrist, take her hand, and throw the entire glass of wine into Su Xinyan’s face.

Not a drop was spared!

“Ah–”

Su Xinyan screamed.

The crowd was silent as the grave, and even Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow, his interest piqued.

Su Ran returned the glass to the waiter and looked at Ye Zhichen.

“Have you learned anything?”

Ye Zhichen nodded blankly.

“I’ve learned!”

“Do you feel better now?”

Ye Zhichen nodded again.

“I do!”

Su Ran’s gaze was faint, looking somewhat nonchalant.

“Why bother talking so much to her? You must be tired.”

Ye Zhichen smiled, having taken the lesson to heart!

Su Xinyan’s eyelashes quivered, her eyes stung by the alcohol and unable to open, trembling slightly, her whole body shaking with anger.

The front of her dress was soaked, clinging tightly to her body, the contours of her figure clearly visible.

The men around stared openly, and even some teasing whistles could be heard.

Gu Heng came back to his senses, took off his coat, and draped it over Su Xinyan, looking at Su Ran with unfamiliar eyes.

“Xiao Ran, you’ve gone too far!”

Su Ran glanced at him lightly, her lips curling up.

“President Gu, didn’t the Gu Family teach you that it’s best for men not to interrupt when women are speaking?”

Gu Heng’s expression stiffened, and then he heard Su Ran continue:

“President Xiao hasn’t said a word, when is it your turn?”

Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow, surprised that Su Ran mentioned his name at this moment.

“We meet again.”

He spoke indifferently, raising his glass to Su Ran.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, “Sorry for disturbing your inauguration party.”

“It’s nothing, just a party.”

Xiao Yize spoke in his usual cool tone, and from the expression on his face, it was clear he really didn’t take tonight’s drama to heart.

In other words, without her, tonight’s party would be nothing but dull and boring.

Their conversation caused Gu Heng to freeze, and he looked up at Su Ran.

They actually… knew each other?

Xiao Yize held his glass, his expression indifferent as he looked at the four people in front of him.

“I know your purpose. You’re all here for Xiao’s investment, right?”

Xiao Yize’s words were extraordinarily straightforward, directly addressing the four people’s intentions.

Hearing this, Su Ran nodded affirmatively.

“That’s right!”

Xiao Yize’s lips curved, and he slowly lifted his gaze to her.

“You are honest, but I wonder what reasons you can give to persuade me to invest.”

Su Ran’s lips curled confidently as she looked at him.

“It’s simple; I am the reason.”

Su Ran’s words sounded confident and arrogant, almost to the point of conceit.

But to businessmen, wasn’t this just a reassurance?

Everyone in business knows whether it’s confidence or overconfidence.

Xiao Yize nodded subtly, quite appreciative of Su Ran’s answer.

Gu Heng wiped the wine from Su Xinyan’s face, and she slowly opened her eyes, then stood quietly to the side.

But hearing the conversation between Su Ran and Xiao Yize, her heart was filled with discontent.

She couldn’t stand the sight of others showing appreciation and praise toward Su Ran.

Especially not a perfect man like Xiao Yize, which made her and Su Ran seem like they were from different worlds.

She couldn’t accept this disparity!

She looked up at Xiao Yize, pursing her lips slightly.

“President Xiao, with such a large investment, it would be better for you to be cautious. Not every company is worth your investment. You better inspect it thoroughly first. Whether it is the scale, development, or prospects, if anyone falls behind, it could all be for naught. It’s wise to shop around and not suffer a loss, don’t you agree?”

Su Ran’s eyes flashed with a sarcastic smile as she heard Su Xinyan’s words.

Xiao Yize curved his lips, looking down at the red liquid in his glass.

“Indeed, well said!”
