The taxi came to a steady stop in front of the hotel.
Among all the luxury cars, its presence could only be called a joke. Yet when the waiter stepped forward to open the door, everyone held their breath.
Su Jingsheng stepped out in red high heels, making a striking entrance.
She revealed her long, fair legs. The instant she took her first step, her long skirt hem trailed behind her, instead overshadowing the brilliance of the red carpet.
“Who is that? The bride? She’s so beautiful!”
“No, the bride is wearing a white wedding dress. That looks like Su Jingsheng, the eldest miss of the su family.”
“Damn, Shen Mingfeng must be an idiot. He doesn’t want the young miss and instead wants the second young lady.”
While everyone was marveling,
a noble-looking man dressed in evening wear walked toward Su Jingsheng. He bent slightly and extended his hand. “Beautiful miss, may I escort you inside?”
Su Jingsheng swept her gaze over everyone. Seeing Su Dahai’s flushed, furious face, she felt refreshed.
She looked at the man before her. He was handsome and possessed a gentlemanly demeanor, but he was missing something.
“Sorry, you’re not to my taste.”
Her words were neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for the other guests to hear.
At that moment, everyone sighed in amazement. How could anyone be so arrogant, yet act as though it were perfectly natural?
They could not help wanting to approach her just to be insulted.
The rejected man’s expression remained unchanged. He withdrew his hand with practiced ease and watched Su Jingsheng walk away.
After she left, the crowd erupted even more.
“I wonder how many people will trample the Su Family’s doorstep for the sake of this Miss Su.”
“I’m definitely one of them. How did I never realize how beautiful Miss Su was before? My heart—it’s gone.”
“Wait, wasn’t she Shen Mingfeng’s girlfriend before? How did she…”
…
Su Jingsheng’s dress was dazzlingly red, proclaiming her intention to steal the spotlight at every turn.
Su Dahai had asked her to come for absolutely no reason of stealing Yu Ning’s limelight. Thus, once Su Jingsheng disappeared from everyone’s sight, he wanted to go over and teach her a lesson.
Lin Ning, however, grabbed him and instructed him gently, “Nothing else can go wrong at Yu Ning’s wedding. Continue entertaining the guests. I’ll go find Jingsheng.”
Lin Ning’s complexion looked considerably better than Su Dahai’s.
It was only that, inwardly, she wanted nothing more than to bite Su Jingsheng to death.
This was a wedding, after all. She could do whatever she wanted, but if anything happened, Su Jingsheng could forget about leaving safely today.
In a corner,
Xiao Xu stood beside the man. Even though he had seen countless beautiful women, he still could not help being drawn to the woman on the red carpet.
Previously, whenever he had seen this Miss Su, she had been dressed plainly and given off only a comfortable air. He had never expected her to be so astonishing once she became alluring.
It was just that…
Xiao Xu looked bitterly at his own President Lu. For some reason, he felt that President Lu was very unhappy now.
It was as if he wanted to gouge out the eyes of those men.
Unable to stop himself from swallowing nervously, he asked, “President Lu, should I invite Miss Su over?”
“No.” The man’s voice was cold. He slammed down his wineglass, tugged at his tie, and walked toward the red carpet.
He had no need to attend the Su Family’s wedding.
Yet for some inexplicable reason, he had come and had been sitting in an inconspicuous corner the entire time.
There had always been a voice in his heart, saying something, but he could not hear it clearly.
The moment he saw Su Jingsheng, he understood. That voice had brought him here to see this woman.
Not bad. Worth it.
The man approached with measured grace, but Su Jingsheng looked over at that instant and immediately frowned. After glancing around, she lifted the hem of a skirt and walked over without drawing attention.
As if she did not know the man, she stopped beside him for only three seconds. “Come with me.”
Could someone tell her
why Lu Qingyu had come?
Lu Qingyu raised his brows, and an ambiguous glimmer flashed through his deep eyes.
He turned and followed the girl’s steps.
Inside the lounge,
Su Jingsheng looked agitated as she stared at the man, utterly at a loss for words.
In the end, she barely maintained a smile and made her tone sound less agitated and angry. “May I ask why you’re here?”
The Su Family had always loved currying favor with powerful people. For a major occasion like a wedding, they invited either celebrities or prominent figures in the business world.
How had a man who sold insurance and wore counterfeit designer goods gotten in?
If Shen Mingfeng and the others recognized him as Xiaobao’s father, it would be disastrous.
Without waiting for the man to respond, she lifted the hem of a skirt and looked downstairs at the steady stream of arriving guests. There was no way she could leave through the main entrance.
The back door. Right, the back door.
Su Jingsheng stepped forward, grabbed the man’s hand, and pulled him outside the door. “Leave through the back door. Whatever you do, don’t let Shen Mingfeng or Su Yuning see you. I don’t care why you came. You have to leave now.”
She had come to the wedding to take revenge.
She absolutely could not let this man become her downfall.
“You think I sneaked in?” the man asked in a deep voice, his tone intriguing.
Su Jingsheng glanced back at him. “What else? Did my father bow and scrape to invite you in?”
Lu Qingyu did not respond.
Su Dahai had done more than bow and scrape. He had been so excited that he had nearly knelt before him.
“All right, enough talking. Hurry and leave.” With the wedding about to begin, she could not wait another second.
“Wait.” Two figures suddenly appeared in Lu Qingyu’s dark eyes. He wrapped an arm around the girl’s slender waist and pinned her against the wall, lowering his head as though to kiss her.
“You…” Su Jingsheng was so frightened that she stood dumbfounded.
She was just about to curse him when she noticed someone passing by. Almost instinctively, she tightly wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and pulled them closer together.
She absolutely could not let anyone see his true face.
Even in high heels, the man was still more than half a head taller than Su Jingsheng. In her line of sight, the clearest thing was the flawless line of his neck.
She had never known that a neck could look so good.
That perfectly shaped Adam’s apple seemed like the Creator’s most flawless gift.
Setting aside the man’s other clumsy shortcomings, he was truly impeccable.
A flush quietly crept across Su Jingsheng’s cheeks.
When passersby went past, they merely glanced at them without investigating further.
After the footsteps faded away, Su Jingsheng slowly released the man. Unexpectedly, a powerful force suddenly seized her waist, and she was abruptly pressed tightly against him, almost locked in Lu Qingyu’s embrace. His thin lips, which had not descended before, descended this time.
She stared in astonishment at the man so close to her, her mind coming to a complete halt.
Could someone tell her what was happening?
The man opened his eyes. Seeing Su Jingsheng’s astonishment, he lightly bit her red lips in a gesture of punishment.
It was not enough to draw blood, but it was enough to make her lips hurt.
Su Jingsheng pushed Lu Qingyu away in pain and covered her red lips with her fingertip. She felt that she had encountered the most incomprehensible situation of her life.
“You…” She pointed at the man, too furious to speak.
At first, she had thought he possessed a gentlemanly demeanor. As it turned out, the moment everyone else left, he revealed his beastly nature.
Damn it!
Music suddenly sounded downstairs. The wedding had begun.
Su Jingsheng’s delicate brows knitted together in fury, but she had no time to argue with the man. Pointing at him, she snarled, “Don’t let me run into you again, or I’ll hit you.”
“Leave quickly. Go through the back door, and don’t let anyone see you.”
Su Jingsheng gently pushed the man and brushed past him as though nothing had happened.
Only the redness behind her ears could not be concealed.
After she left, Xiao Xu emerged from the corner and covered his lips as he coughed lightly several times. “President Lu, the wedding has begun. Are you going to attend?”
