Chapter 121: Each Holds A Sinister Design In Their Mind
Du Huimin’s expression changed drastically. In forty years of her life, she had never gotten slapped in the face in public before, more so when the person was a young man of her son’s age.
Today’s engagement party had been turned into a farce by Jiang Xuecheng. She was afraid that the Gu and Su families would become the laughing stock of the upper class from now on.
The more Du Huimin recalled, the more her heart felt a throbbing pain. A cold light flashed through her eyes when she saw that the young man in front of him was as calm as usual. She couldn’t lower her pride to plead.
Yes, they were wrong today, but wasn’t Jiang Xuecheng too much?
Young people always acted on impulse…
Jiang Xuecheng stared at her and Su Jiankai, who had just regained his consciousness coldly. His eyes which were as deep as the abyss sent shivers down Du Huimin’s spine.
“Madam Du, Mr. Su, we’ll end here today. I hope you’ll behave yourselves. I believe everyone present today has their own judgment. If I were to hear strange news on media tomorrow, you’d suffer the consequences!”
This was the first time Du Huimin had ever met a young man with such strong aura. Only those with decades of experience in the business world could match him!
The CEO of Di Chen Group was indeed a person one could not mess with!
Du Huimin’s lips moved a little but finally fell into a silence.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Du Huimin was sensible, he smiled. Then, he tugged Su Wan and was about to leave.
The four strong bodyguards in black followed suit and trailed about half a meter behind Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan.
Those who came to witness the engagement were in a trance. There was silence all around. The young master was too arrogant…
He first appeared as a guest, stealing the attention of the hosts, and now he was leaving as if there was no one else present?
The guests stared at one another. When they saw Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan walking through, they naturally made way for them. They definitely did not want to mess with a jinx like him.
When they were almost at the entrance, Jiang Xuecheng turned around and left another tough sentence.
“If you dare think of snatching Wan Wan’s belongings in the future, I don’t mind showing you my tactics!”
Before anyone could respond, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan marched forward with the four bodyguards behind them and in a short while, they were all out of sight.
Hearing the last warning, Gu Zihang who was still standing on the stage turned ghastly pale. He clenched his fists tightly and a sense of gloominess flashed through his eyes.
He knew what Jiang Xuecheng meant but seeing the shares slip away from his hand, he could not bear to throw in the towel.
Gu Zihang brooded on this matter and could not keep calm.
Du Huimin saw the gloomy Gu Zihang and she sighed within.
In the past, she thought her son was very outstanding among his peers but today, when she compared him with Jiang Xuecheng, it was easy to tell the difference between them!
When she saw the teary Su Yurou in her son’s embrace, a sense of disgust flashed through Du Huimin’s eyes.
Su Yurou couldn’t do anything right!
If it wasn’t for Su Yurou who insisted on slapping Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng wouldn’t be so angry and the situation wouldn’t be so embarrassing!
At the thought of this, Du Huimin took the microphone and acknowledged the guests.
“Ladies and gentlemen, there has been an accident today, so we will cancel today’s engagement party. I hope everyone will understand.”
The guests sighed. They felt they had witnessed an important scene and finally took their things before they left.
Su Yurou was stupefied. She, who had been crying and feigning weakness, immediately wiped her tears away and dashed toward Du Huimin.
“Mother, this is the engagement party for Zihang and I. How could we just cancel it like this?”
One could only have one engagement party in one’s lifetime. Su Yurou could not accept Du Huimin’s decision.
Du Huimin looked at Su Yurou and smiled coldly. “We have been embarrassed. What’s left to continue? If you want to continue, please proceed yourself. Zihang, let’s go!”
Su Yurou’s emotions worsened after hearing Du Huimin. A sense of viciousness flashed through her eyes but she was Gu Zihang’s mother, so she had to endure it.
It was all Su Wan’s fault!
Su Yurou held her white bridal gown tightly and malice appeared in her eyes.
If not for Su Wan, why would Du Huimin have given her the cold shoulder?
When she recalled how Su Wan left with Jiang Xuecheng, Su Yurou felt tightness in her chest. What did Su Wan have to have Jiang Xuecheng like her?
He was such a handsome and elegant man, and even Gu Zihang was far from comparable…
When Su Yurou spaced out, Du Huimin hissed coldly, “Zihang, let’s go.”
As she spoke, she walked toward the hotel lift to go to the pre-booked room.
Gu Zihang glanced hesitantly at his mother but he ran to Su Yurou and held her hand. “Yurou, let’s go together.”
Su Yurou regained her senses. She lowered her head and hid her malicious look. She sniffed and switched to her teary and weak look.
“Zihang, my cheek hurts…tell me, why does Wan hate me so much?”
Gu Zihang’s heart ached when he heard Su Yurou’s sob. “Don’t be afraid, Yurou. I’ll get an ice pack for you in a while. As for Wan…”
At the mention of Su Wan by Su Yurou, Gu Zihang’s lips moved a little and a light of complication flashed through his eyes. Finally, he did not make any comments.
When Su Yurou saw that Gu Zihang did not scold that b*tch for her sake, her heart was filled with hostility. She nestled and hid her face in Gu Zihang’s embrace and did not reveal the emotions at the bottom of her heart.
Gu Zihang thought she was in great pain and so, he quickly supported her and walked with her into the elevator.
Before both of them reached the room, they heard Du Huimin and Su Jiankai’s intense argument.
“Mr. Su, you were the one who took the initiative to give us twenty-five percent of shares. Are you trying to go back on your word?”
“What we had agreed upon was Su Wan’s shares but no one had expected her to have Jiang Xuecheng’s backing…”
“Huh, I won’t do anything without gains. Consider what you’re saying carefully. Since Su Wan’s shares are gone, you may use yours. If you don’t give us the shares, Su Yurou will never step into the door of the Gu family!”
“We are relatives by marriage. How could you add insult to injury?”
Gu Zihang and Su Yurou were taken aback. They walked quickly toward the room. With teary eyes, Su Yurou begged Du Huimin.
“Mother, what are you doing? Do you mean that you won’t accept me as your daughter-in-law without the shares?”
Du Huimin narrowed her eyes and looked at her from above. “The engagement party has been cancelled. Don’t call me mother!”
Now that Sheng Yuan Group belonged to Su Wan, to Du Huimin, Su Yurou was not good enough for her son!
