Chapter 496: Chapter 496 The Shadow Cast By Drinking
Su Wan had thought that Mr. Lin would be a little awkward for some time and wouldn’t come to the banquet. She didn’t expect him to not only come, but dress so formally as well.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng walked up and waved at the family of three in front of them.
“Uncle, Auntie, Fei’er, you’re early.”
The three of them stood in front of the service desk. Beside Mr. Lin stood a waiter dressed in a light green waiter’s uniform. He seemed to be asking about the location of the room.
When Lin Fei’er and her family heard Su Wan’s voice, they turned around subconsciously.
Lin Fei’er looked at Su Wan, who was wearing a sleeveless light blue dress, and then her gaze immediately shifted to Su Wan’s shoulder. She walked over in surprise and raised her eyebrows at Su Wan.
“Wan, your injury healed too quickly. Did you apply some kind of high-quality ointment? Look at me…”
Lin Fei’er was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with a wine-red pleated skirt that just covered her knees. It was elegant and beautiful with a hint of brilliance. Her temperament was elegant and moving.
If the wound on Su Wan’s shoulder did not heal, Su Wan was prepared to follow Lin Fei’er’s footsteps.
As Lin Fei’er said this, she pulled up the sleeve of her shirt, feeling a little depressed. A dark red wound suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
The wound looked quite ferocious against the smooth skin on the side.
Su Wan smiled at Lin Fei’er and helped her pull back the sleeve.
“Of course I didn’t apply any good ointment? It’s probably because my injury was relatively light. Don’t worry, your scar will heal soon.”
Lin Fei’er frowned when she heard that. She recalled the blood on Su Wan’s shoulder that day. It didn’t look like a small injury.
Perhaps Su Wan’s natural recovery was particularly good.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan and Lin Fei’er chatting in the hotel lobby, he said calmly, “Let’s go upstairs.”
“Wan Wan, you two can talk later.”
Mr. and Mrs. Lin also nodded. Only then did Su Wan and Lin Fei’er stop whispering and walk toward the elevator.
The room Su Wan booked was on the fifth floor. It was a rather high-end and luxurious VIP room.
The few of them had just taken their seats. Mr. and Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Mrs. Lin looked across at Su Wan and couldn’t help but ask a question.
“Wan, when will senior master and madam Jiang and the others arrive? Is there anything we need to pay attention to during the meal?”
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were both born in an ordinary well-to-do family. Although their family backgrounds were slightly better than the average person, they had never interacted with an aristocratic family like the Jiang family.
In Jiuzhou, marriage was the most important thing in terms of social status. When Mr. and Mrs. Lin thought about marrying their daughter to the Jiang family, they were both very nervous, afraid that Lin Fei’er would be bullied in the Jiang family.
Su Wan was about to answer when her phone suddenly lit up. A new text message appeared. It was from Xu Ziyao. She said that they were at the Bei’an intersection, and would arrive after crossing two traffic lights.
Su Wan put down her phone and looked at Mrs. Lin with a smile.
“Auntie, they will be here in three to five minutes. Don’t worry. The elders of the Jiang family are very easy to get along with. They are sensible people. Moreover, with me around, Fei’er won’t be bullied.”
Su Wan had heard this sentence three to five times. Mrs. Lin nodded slowly, but she couldn’t help but look worried.
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Fei’er, who was still playing with her phone, and immediately reprimanded her.
“Fei’er, put your phone away. You must be obedient later. A girl should behave like a girl, do you understand?”
Lin Fei’er curled her lips when she heard that. When she saw Mrs. Lin’s expression, she quickly pulled out a comforting smile.
“Mom, don’t worry. I will be obedient today.”
At that moment, there was a steady knock on the door. The knock startled Lin Fei’er.
“Are they here?”
Mrs. Lin gulped. She pushed Lin Fei’er and quickly sat up.
Lin Fei’er felt helpless when she saw her mother’s anxious expression.
“Mom, it must be the waiter.”
Who would knock on the door like that other than the waiter? The elders of the Jiang family must have already pushed the door wide open.
“Come in.”
The door opened from the outside to the inside. A waiter dressed in a light green waiter uniform appeared.
“Hello, would you like the dishes to be served now?”
Su Wan thought that Xu Ziyao and the others would arrive soon, so she nodded decisively. “Please start serving the dishes.”
The waiter nodded respectfully and left. This banquet had been ordered long ago, and the chef had already started working half an hour earlier.
Not long after, a table full of dishes was placed on the round table in the private room. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a mountain of delicacies.
When Su Wan saw the dishes in front of her, she suddenly thought of something.
“How about two more bottles of red wine?”
When he heard Su Wan’s suggestion, Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyes slightly. A faint light flashed across his deep eyes.
“Yes, but you can’t drink.”
Su Wan pouted and looked at Jiang Xuecheng pitifully. “We are all family and friends today. Why can’t we?”
The corners of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips curled up as he reached out to stroke the strands of hair on Su Wan’s cheeks.
“Alright then, you’re only allowed to drink half a cup, no more than that.”
It was mainly because during Su Wan’s first time drinking, she finished all of the Yingming Cabernet Sauvignon. Moreover, she had even gone crazy after drinking!
It had cast a deep “shadow” in Jiang Xuecheng!
This was not a joke. Jiang Xuecheng decided that he had to keep a close eye on her. If Su Wan really wanted to drink, he had to be present to prevent her from becoming a laughing stock when she got drunk.
When Lin Fei’er saw Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan showing off their affection like there was no one else around, she immediately winked at Su Wan, which almost made Su Wan laugh out loud.
When Mrs. Lin saw Lin Fei’er acting like this, she slapped Lin Fei’er’s hand hard, which made Lin Fei’er stop.
Su Wan rang the bell and asked the waiter to add two bottles of vintage red wine.
The red wine was brought over, and all the dishes were served, all that was left was waiting for Xu Ziyao and the others to show up.
Suddenly, Su Wan heard the sound of the door opening. Two figures appeared in front of her eyes.
Luo Xiuxiu, who was dressed in a Tangzhuang jacket, stood in front. Her white hair was neatly combed. Having been lying in the hospital just a few days ago, she wasn’t looking sick at all. She looked refreshed and energetic.
Xu Ziyao, on the other hand, was still dressed in a cheongsam. Her hair was tied up in an elegant bun. Her figure was slim and graceful, and she had an extraordinary temperament. She looked even better than a 28-year-old girl!
It was the first time Mr. and Mrs. Lin had seen the mother of Jiang Xuecheng. Xu Ziyao had a handsome and extraordinary son like Jiang Xuecheng. They had expected that Xu Ziyao would be very outstanding, but they did not expect her to look so young!
It would be believable if someone said that Xu Ziyao was Jiang Xuecheng’s sister.
When Su Wan saw the two women who took the lead, she was slightly stunned.
Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Wei had not been in S City for the past few days, so Su Wan was not surprised that they had not appeared. However, where had Jiang Haoxuan gone?
