Just as Su Yan felt a little cold and was about to return to the banquet hall, an unfamiliar yet crisp voice sounded, “Miss Su, I didn’t expect you to hide here.”
Su Yan had just turned her head when she saw a woman in a pure white dress walking over. The woman’s aura was very strong, and her eyes were filled with coldness and pride.
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. “You are?”
The woman in the white dress said, “My name is Zhou Man.”
The corners of Su Yan’s mouth curled up. “Miss Zhou, if I remember correctly, we don’t seem to know each other, right?”
Zhou Man nodded. “Of course. This is the first time we’ve met. It’s normal that you don’t know me. However, this doesn’t prevent me from knowing you. A trending search has been going on quite a bit since Miss Su and Wei Zhou got divorced.”
Su Yan raised her eyebrows. From Zhou Man’s tone, it seemed that she was deliberately looking for trouble. However, this made Su Yan feel very baffled. She had no enmity with Zhou Man, so why did she come to provoke her?
“The trending search has nothing to do with you.” Su Yan’s smile didn’t change.
“Miss Su, you have impressive methods. You were kicked out of the Wei family for only a few days, but you actually hooked up with Young Master Xia again. Even Old Master Xia spoke up for you. How admirable,” Zhou Man said sarcastically.
The conversation between the two of them was overheard by quite a number of people around them. As a result, many people turned to look in their direction. Everyone was very interested in this kind of intense argument.
Su Yan still had a smile on her face. She looked into Zhou Man’s eyes and didn’t say anything. She was guessing whether this woman was Xia Zijian’s ex-girlfriend or she was here to seek justice for Wei Zhou.
Seeing that she didn’t refute, Zhou Man couldn’t help but sneer. She thought that Su Yan was ignoring her. Hence, she acted even more hostile. “I must admit that your face is still quite pretty. Moreover, your methods of seducing men are also very clever. However, I must remind you to recognize a fact. For someone like you, it’s better not to think of marrying into a wealthy family. It’s the same for you in the Wei family back then and the Xia family in the future. Therefore, it’s better for you to stay away from wealthy families. Otherwise, not only will you waste your youth, but you will also get nothing. In the end, you will end up with a ruined reputation.”
Looking at Zhou Man, Su Yan was filled with confusion. Who exactly was this woman? She seemed to have come from a wealthy family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept mentioning wealthy families. It was as if she knew a lot about wealthy families. After thinking for a while, Su Yan seemed to remember who she was.
Before coming here, Tang Yitong had told her some things about the Xia family, Xia Zijian’s scoundrels and Zhou Man, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. If she remembered correctly, Tang Yitong had said that Zhou Man and Xia Zijian were a perfect couple. The two of them had a close relationship. Anyone who knew Zhou Man would know that she had been pursuing Xia Zijian. Su Yu was the type of woman who would pounce on Xia Zijian the moment she saw him. However, Zhou Man had the temperament of a missy. Her EQ was low, so Xia Zijian didn’t like her very much. He would avoid her as much as possible.
Xia Zijian could make himself dislike Zhou Man, but he couldn’t stop Zhou Man from liking him. Zhou Man also acted as a shield and did her best to deal with the women around Xia Zijian. She had even beaten up many rich and powerful young ladies. However, due to the Zhou family’s power, many people tolerated it. Initially, Xia Jiang didn’t want to interfere in Xia Zijian’s personal relationship problems, but Zhou Man had gone too far. Hence, he thought of a compromise. He would send Xia Zijian overseas to study.
Today, Su Yan was holding onto Xia Jiang’s arm. This way of appearing was too eye-catching and instantly made Zhou Man feel jealous. If not for her brother, Zhou Meng, she would have rushed up and slapped Su Yan. Originally, Zhou Man couldn’t be bothered with Su Yan. However, Su Yan had established ties with Xia Zijian and obtained Xia Jiang’s approval. This had already crossed Zhou Man’s bottom line. Moreover, Zhou Man’s sixth sense was very accurate. She felt that the playboy, Xia Zijian, seemed to be serious this time.
Upon hearing Zhou Man’s words, many of the rich and powerful young ladies and socialites around nodded in unison. They secretly gave Zhou Man a thumbs up in their hearts. These words were really straightforward and expressed everyone’s thoughts. Even though Su Yan was a small boss herself, her small business couldn’t be compared to the rich and powerful families. Hence, the reason why she hooked up with Xia Zijian was because she coveted the power and status of the rich and powerful families.
Jealousy was the most terrifying thing in the world. Once a person had jealousy, they would be blinded and do many ridiculous things. Now, Su Yan was the target of jealousy from all the socialites in Xiang City. Naturally, she became the target of public criticism.
