The guests inside were still holding their wine glasses and chatting.
"Hiss—"
Gasps could be heard all around.
Everyone present looked toward the entrance, only to see a woman walking in.
She wore a champagne-colored velvet evening gown.
The off-the-shoulder dress revealed her slender swan-like neck and smooth shoulders.
The skirt draped down like flowing moonlight.
The well-tailored waist design outlined her perfectly slender waist.
Her slightly curly hair fell loosely over her shoulders.
She was noble, mysterious, and elegant.
And she had a face of breathtaking, city-toppling beauty.
Isn't that President Su?
Feng Yaya frowned.
She had seen Su Hua before, and back then, she didn't think much of it.
But this time, looking at Su Hua rubbed her the wrong way.
Su Hua was so beautiful that it made her jealous.
In front of Su Hua, she felt inferior, as if she were a head shorter.
"Who is that? She is too beautiful. Honestly, she looks even better than Feng Yaya."
"You don't know? That's Su Hua from the Su Group."
"What, she is Su Hua?! Holy cow, she is stunning."
"I wonder what kind of man a woman like Su Hua would like. I'm guessing her standards must be incredibly high."
They finally understood why rumors said Su Hua kept her distance from men.
A woman like Su Hua must have incredibly high standards and look down on ordinary men.
A woman like Su Hua was fascinating, yet dangerous.
Although some men at the banquet were captivated by her, they could only stand on the sidelines, not daring to approach her.
They couldn't handle a woman like Su Hua.
Not to mention, rumor had it that any man who touched Su Hua would have his hands broken, or even have his family's company bankrupted by her.
They didn't dare take such a risk.
"I heard President Su has a boyfriend she's been dating for two years. I'm really curious, what kind of man would President Su choose as her boyfriend?"
"That must be fake. None of the young talents here can catch President Su's eye. Except maybe Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan is three or four years younger than President Su. There's no way they would be together."
"Right, I feel like the rumor about President Su having a boyfriend isn't true."
Su Hua happened to walk past them.
She paused her steps and glanced at the wealthy young lady who was talking.
The young lady felt a shiver of fear.
President Su's gaze looked as if she wanted to kill her.
So terrifying.
"President Su," the young lady apologized tremblingly. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have discussed your private matters. Please give me another chance, I won't do it again."
Su Hua smiled faintly. "I just wanted to tell you that I do indeed have a boyfriend."
"Ah?"
The young lady looked up in shock.
President Su stopped just to explain this to her?
With President Su's status, she shouldn't be the type to go out of her way to explain things.
Just how much does she care about her boyfriend?
"We have been together for two years, and we love each other very much. So, please, don't say I don't have a boyfriend in the future."
After saying that, Su Hua continued walking forward.
Leaving behind a crowd of people dumbfounded with shock.
Su Hua's gaze swept around the room.
Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.
Where is Xuan?
"Hua'er, come here quickly," Old Master Su called out, greeting Su Hua.
Su Hua walked over.
"Hua'er, Little Xuan went to the restroom. He should be back soon, just wait a moment," Old Master Su said.
"Mhm."
Su Hua sat down on a nearby sofa.
Many guests couldn't help but wonder.
Old Master Su and Lin Xuan seemed very familiar with each other.
And Su Hua was Old Master Su's granddaughter.
Could it be... the mysterious boyfriend Su Hua mentioned is Lin Xuan...
When Lin Li saw Su Hua, a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.
Su Hua and Lin Xuan had never attended the same banquet before.
So everyone had no idea they were together.
Could Su Hua coming here this time mean she plans to announce her relationship with Lin Xuan?
No.
Impossible.
Lin Li shook his head.
Su Hua probably came because she saw her grandfather coming, so she tagged along.
If she really wanted to announce her relationship with Lin Xuan, why didn't she and Lin Xuan show up together?
From the very beginning, Su Hua must have just been playing around with Lin Xuan.
Thinking this way, Lin Li's anxious heart settled down.
Lin Chang walked up to Su Hua.
"Hello, President Su. My name is Lin Chang, we've met before."
Su Hua's gaze was extremely cold.
"You. I remember."
How could she not remember these people from the Lin family?
In the past, Xuan had suffered a lot in the Lin family.
If it weren't for the thought of keeping them around as toys for Xuan.
They would probably be dead without a burial place by now.
Lin Chang felt a surge of joy.
President Su actually remembered him!
This is great.
Lin Qingwan was originally looking at her phone. When she saw Lin Chang standing in front of Su Hua acting extremely attentive,
she walked over.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Lin Chang replied in a low voice, "Wanwan, the Su Group is the largest company in all of Xia Country. If Su Hua is willing to help us, Lin Xuan won't be able to do anything to us."
"Dad, there's no way President Su would help us. You should just give up," Lin Qingwan said.
President Su is Little Xuan's girlfriend.
They had treated Little Xuan like that before, and their company was ruined by Little Xuan.
President Su was probably happy to see the Xinghui Group go bankrupt. How could she possibly help them?
"Wanwan," Lin Chang said. "If we don't try, how will we know if it works?"
Right now, Lin Chang didn't want to give up a single opportunity to develop a company.
He was used to being flattered and sought after.
He was not resigned to being mocked all the time.
After his company went bankrupt, he had been looking for a chance—a chance to reopen his company without having to worry about Lin Xuan targeting him.
"Dad, do you know..."
Lin Qingwan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lin Chang.
"Get out of my way, don't interfere with me currying favor with President Su."
Lin Chang pushed Lin Qingwan aside.
"President Su."
Lin Chang continued to say fawningly, "I am planning to open a new company, primarily involving the entertainment industry, as well as marketing, internet water armies, and the like. My previous company mainly dealt with these too, but I was framed and sabotaged by despicable people."
"President Su, rest assured, as long as you invest, I will definitely make you a lot of money."
If President Su invested, it meant having the backing of the Su Group.
Would he still need to fear a mere Lin Xuan?
"Please consider it carefully, President Su." Lin Chang's attitude was extremely attentive and respectful.
Old Master Su sneered.
They treated Little Xuan like that, yet he still wanted his granddaughter to invest in his company.
How thick-skinned could this Lin Chang be?
Su Hua spoke coldly, "I will not invest in your company."
"President Su," Lin Chang said, refusing to give up. "Really, I can guarantee that I will definitely make you a lot of money!"
"Chairman Lin."
Su Hua picked up a cup of tea and took a slow, deliberate sip. "You offended my boyfriend. It's best you get out of my sight, or else I really don't know what I might do to you."
A trace of coldness flashed in Su Hua's eyes.

Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces.

"Would you like to dance as well?"

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"
