The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 526 - Chapter 526 0516 Today is unlike the past

Chapter 526: 0516 Today is unlike the past Chapter 526: 0516 Today is unlike the past Fu Qiyuan, remarkably, didn’t get jealous or lose his temper. Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow slightly and turned his head, his deep gaze falling onto the other man’s face.

Such a handsome countenance was fully radiant; those profound eyes admiringly and indulgently watched the person on stage.

Xiao Yize’s lips curled imperceptibly, his dark eyes unfathomably deep!

“An over-a-billion Phoenix Crown just got smashed like that? That’s heartbreakingly wasteful. President Su is too extravagant. If she doesn’t want it, she could give it to me!”

“President Su said it’s been dirtied, you don’t mind that?”

“Mind? No way! Even if someone licked it, I wouldn’t care!”

The room fell silent for a few seconds, then buzzed with conversation; everyone gasped at the thought of Su Ran’s behavior.

Su Xinyan felt so angry she was dizzy and her head throbbed. Tonight’s proposal was the first step in building momentum for her grand wedding with Gu Heng.

The proposal of the century, the wedding of the century!

A spectacle that made countless women envious and jealous!

But it was all ruined by Su Ran!

All her plans had turned into a huge joke!

At that moment, Su Xinyan just wanted to flay and strip Su Ran, her rage nearly causing her to lose her sanity.

In the end, it was Gu Heng who pulled her away, preventing them from standing on stage to be judged and pointed at any longer.

Lin Siya watched Su Xinyan’s unsightly expression and offered comfort:

“Hmph, I refuse to believe that woman can come up with so much money!”

Upon hearing this, others joined in with their own affirmations.

“That’s right, we’re talking about five hundred million. She probably thinks it’s five bucks!”

“This auction requires immediate settlement after the hammer falls.”

“Exactly, if she can’t produce that money, she’ll be disgraced, and most importantly, she even smashed the Phoenix Crown!”

Hearing their words, Su Xinyan slightly lifted her head, a faint glimmer of hope on her pale face.

She clutched her skirt tightly, her gaze malevolently fixed on Su Ran, feeling a bit better thinking about what was to come.

The humiliation she suffered tonight, she had to get it all back at any cost!

As expected, the auctioneer soon took the stage, asking Su Ran to settle the account.

It wasn’t just Su Xinyan and company; many in the audience harbored the same doubts.

Qianran International hadn’t made much of a name in Yong City over the past two years. It was only because of Chu Ling’s incident that they had become widely known.

Many people were skeptical about whether President Su really had such great capabilities and means, especially after a recent interview with her by journalists.

Tonight was the perfect opportunity to confirm or dispel these doubts!

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Ran casually glanced over the transaction document, signed, and settled the payment after confirming there were no issues.

Her fluid actions were simply astonishing!

Su Xinyan couldn’t quite believe what she saw either, staring at Su Ran onstage.

What’s going on?

Why was it different from what she had imagined?

Could that wretched woman actually afford so much money?

“Five hundred million, we’re talking about five hundred million. She signed it off without even blinking an eye?”

“Seeing President Su sign and pay so casually, I truly thought it was just five bucks!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, it seems all the news on the internet is true. This President Su, her abilities and methods are indeed impressive!”

“Qianran International really isn’t what it used to be!”

In everyone’s tone, there was admiration and praise for Su Ran. Su Xinyan’s heart ached with jealousy!

Not only did she not get to witness Su Ran’s embarrassing downfall, but Su Ran also managed to become the center of attention again, completely stealing the show!

And what’s the deal with the man the auctioneer called President Fu?

What’s his relationship with Su Ran?

Su Xinyan’s heart trembled fiercely as she turned her gaze towards that regally tall figure.

The man sat in his seat, tall and upright, with his long legs crossed. Dressed in an expensive suit, his inborn nobility and dominance were impossible to hide; his stunning profile was as sharp as if chiseled by knife and axe.

A forearm rested on the chair, and while speaking to Xiao Yize, she slightly tilted her head, but her gaze never shifted a fraction away from Su Ran.

The eyes, clear in their black and white distinction, were filled with endless indulgence and admiration, every move influenced by Su Ran.

Who on earth was this man?

When did Su Ran hook up with him?

Compared to this man, Gu Heng…

Su Xinyan’s heart jolted with shock, no, she couldn’t allow Su Ran to outdo her in everything.

Even men were not an exception!

Su Ran absolutely could not be with such an outstanding man!

She wouldn’t permit it!

Jealousy that she couldn’t release coiled in her heart; she didn’t want to stay here another minute, gripping Gu Heng’s hand tightly.

“Brother Heng…”

When she looked up, she saw Gu Heng staring blankly in the direction of Su Ran.

Jealousy instantly flared, fury, and envy combined rushed to her head, burning her heart and lungs, her entire heart nearly exploding.

Had she stolen everything from her, and now she wanted to steal Gu Heng away too?

Impossible!

The Gu Family was her final bargaining chip, she definitely couldn’t let Su Ran benefit from it!

“Brother Heng…”

She spoke again, softly calling out.

Gu Heng subconsciously turned his head to look at her, his startled expression not yet faded.

“What’s wrong?”

Su Xinyan bit her teeth, nearly dying of anger inside, but her face displayed a fragile and helpless look.

“I’m not feeling well, I want to leave here, can we go home?”

Gu Heng looked down and indeed saw the pale, powerless look on Su Xinyan’s face, yet she was still trying mightily to conceal, feigning strength.

That’s right, she had suffered a great humiliation tonight, it was normal for her not to want to stay here.

He nodded, put his arm around Su Xinyan, and turned to leave; Lin Siya and the others saw this and followed behind the pair, leaving together.

The auction was drawing to a close, and the crowd hardly took notice of their departure.

Gu Heng and Su Xinyan had made a huge joke of themselves that night, staying any longer would be the ultimate embarrassment.

Outside the hotel.

“Brother Heng, I’ll wait for you here, you go bring the car around!”

Gu Heng hesitated for a moment and glanced at her, and seeing this, Su Xinyan forced a weak smile.

“Don’t worry, Siya and the others are with me.”

Gu Heng saw that Su Xinyan’s complexion had slightly improved and casually glanced at Lin Siya by her side.

“President Gu can rest assured, with us accompanying Xinyan, nothing will happen,” said Lin Siya.

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng finally nodded and took the car keys to the parking lot.

Su Xinyan stood at the entrance, her frown never easing; seeing this, Lin Siya spoke up to comfort her.

“Xinyan, don’t take tonight’s incident too much to heart; the international competition is about to start, right? Sooner or later, we will get back at her for this account.”

“Isn’t there a saying that is quite apt, ‘The higher you stand, the harder you fall’? Let her be proud for a couple of days; when the time comes, some people won’t even know how they died.”

Su Xinyan’s pale face gradually eased.

That’s right!

The higher you stand, the harder you fall!

It was just Su Ran; she had dealt with her before, and she could do it again now!

“However, for Su Ran to casually put forth five billion, we truly can’t underestimate her,” said one of the women, making Su Xinyan’s expression tense up again.

She pondered for a moment, and a glint flashed through her eyes!
