Xia Ning follows the voice and looks that Su Shen darkens his face. He tightly grabs Du Bei’s hand.
“Let me go! What I said is true! The woman comes here for no reason! She deserves to be humiliated!” Du Bei doesn’t give up. She argues irrationally.
“Director Xia a distinguished guest invited by me. Miss Du, please mind your words.” Su Shen lowers his voice a little, trying his best to control himself.
Du Bei finds that the man she loves is partial to another woman. She feels sad. She suddenly withdraws her hand and turns to Xia Ning, “This woman is very good at seducing men. Wasn’t there much news about her? Shen, I want you to kick her away at once and never contact her again. Or, I definitely won’t give her a break in the future!”
Su Shen darkens his face. He suddenly holds out his hand to hold Xia Ning, “Miss Du, please leave my party. Everyone, enough yourself. I have something to do. Excuse me. Wen, help Assistant Su to stand up.”
It happens fast. Xia Ning has not succeeded in getting away from Su Shen who suddenly grabs her hand, when she is drawn towards somewhere…
Du Bei sees Su Shen draw Xia Ning and go away. She feels so jealous that she wants to bomb the hall into pieces. Her eyes turn red. She clenches her hands tightly.
She will surely give Xia Ning a lesson!
It is in the medical room of Su’s Mansion.
“Master Su, I have applied some medicine for Assistant Su. The swelling in her face will disappear in two days.” The private doctor of the Su Family says politely.
Su Shen nods. He glances at Assistant Su and says indifferently, “Assistant Su, after you go home, remember to apply the medicine on time to reduce the swelling on your face.”
“Hum. I see. Mr. Su, don’t worry. However, when I go to work tomorrow, people must laugh at me.” Su Xueli feels very annoyed.
“You may stay at home and come back to work after the swelling disappears.” Xia Ning says.
“Seriously? That is great. There happens to be some farming work to do at home. I don’t need to request for a leave now.” Su Xueli responds gladly.
Xia Ning twitches her lips. Xueli is really too cute to be described.
“Oh. Does Assistant Su live in the countryside?” At the time, Wen, who is standing beside Su Shen, asks.
“Hum. That woman told the truth. I really come from the countryside.” Su Xueli purses her lips, “I know I am inferior to her in family background and power. However, I am not as irrational as her. To be honest, she slapped me very forcefully. If it didn’t hurt so badly, I would have fought back with my life. Sister Xia, sorry. I was dizzy at that time and hadn’t collected myself…”
“Du Bei is always an irrational and fierce woman. Many young ladies from noble families were attacked by her, let alone you. Next time, when you meet her, I suggest that you’d better go away at once. Anyway, if I am there, you may rely on me.”
Xia Ning has not responded, when the man named Wen says following Su Xueli’s words.
The man Wen looks very young, about twenty-five or six at age. He stands beside Su Shen. He looks only normally OK, but he gives out a sense of warm consideration.
He is totally different from Su Shen in this aspect. No matter how gentle Su Shen looks, he seems to be distant, not like Wen. To be exact, Wen is more human.
“This is my friend, Huang Hengwen. He is the young master of Weimin Environmental Protection Company. He is a real rich man.” Su Shen introduces.
Wen feels a little shy. He smiles and strokes his head, “I built my business from collecting rubbish. It is really inelegant.”
“Mr. Huang is too modest. You are open-minded. Many people are inferior to you. Xueli was brought here by me. I was not able to protect her. Thank you for helping her here.” Xia Ning expresses her gratitude to Huang Hengwen.
This Mr. Huang is not very tall, but he carries Su Xueli here on his back. Normally speaking, no men are willing to do so in public. However, this Mr. Huang doesn’t seem to mind that. It is imaginable what an easy-going man he is.
Even since he carried Su Xueli here, his sight has never left Su Xueli. It is not hard to tell that he has a crush on her.
Can Wen be the friend Su Shen mentioned before?
Thinking about this, Xia Ning looks at Su Shen when Su Shen is also looking at her. Su Shen softens his eyes and says, “I believe Wen and Assistant Su will become good friends.”
Su Shen implies something in his words meaningfully. Wen hears it and smiles, “Hum. I hope so. But I wonder if Miss Su wants to make friends with me, because I am a rubbish collector.”
“That is good!” Su Xueli blinks her bright eyes, “Mr. Su’s friends are my friends, too.”
Actually, it is quite normal for Su Xueli to say so. However, at this moment, it sounds not right. Xia Ning shakes her head. “Friend” is not a casual word to be used here, especially when it is related to Su Shen. Xia Ning knows that Su Shen looks nice and gentle, but in fact, he keeps a distance from everyone.
At the time, a servant comes in. He bows at Su Shen politely, “Master Su, here is the dress you told me to bring here.”
Su Shen nods. He turns to Xia Ning, “The party is still going on. Miss Xia, you may change your clothes.”
Xia Ning was thinking of taking the clothes issue as an excuse to leave the party. However, it seems that Su Shen doesn’t want to let her go. She asks, “President Su, Xueli is hurt and my clothes are wet. It is inconvenient for us to stay. We will have other chances to meet in the future. May we leave now?”
Su Xueli realizes that Xia Ning wants to leave. She is unwilling to leave. However, because of the swelling in her face, she also feels embarrassed to stay.
“Miss Xia, I understand. Anyway, it happened because of me. You are my distinguished guests invited by me. I am sorry for what happened at my party. Even though you don’t want to stay here, please take this dress, so that I won’t feel so guilty.”
Xia Ning glances at the dress in the servant’s hand. That is a purple cheongsam with embroidery of rhododendrons. It is exquisitely made. Obviously, it is not a normal cheongsam.
“President Su, my clothes will be fine after washing. I can’t take your precious gift. President Su…”
“If you don’t take it, it means you must be angry with me.” Su Shen speaks very slowly in a decisive tone.
Xia Ning hesitates and finally she agrees, “Then, OK. Thank you, President Su.”
Su Shen gently smiles, “Miss Xia, I have a requirement. I wonder if you can agree.”
“President Su, please say it directly.”
“This cheongsam is made by the world-known designer Wu Ying. It is unique. However, it has never been worn by anyone. Since it is yours now. I want to see you in it. Will you?”
When Su Shen speaks, his eyes look sincere. Xia Ning subconsciously wants to refuse, but she knows that if she refuses, Su Shen must find some other reasons to persuade her to do so. In addition, Su Shen’s friend is here. If she refuses, it seems to openly embarrass him.
“OK. In a minute.” Xia Ning stands up, followed by the servant.
When Xia Ning goes to change her clothes. Some noise is heard from the door. Soon, the door is opened by force and Du Bei comes in angrily.
Huang Hengwen immediately goes to stand in front of Su Xueli. He looks at Du Bei alertly.
Du Bei glances around and asks, “Shen, where is the woman surnamed Xia?”
Su Shen darkens his eyes. The smile on his face disappears. He responds in a cold voice, “Didn’t Miss Du hear clearly what I said just now?”
Du Bei feels a chill in her heart. She knows Su Shen’s capability well. If this man does anything against her, she is not the match. However, she has got used to being the rules maker. In addition, it happens here in front of so many people. She can’t leave obediently. Even if she has to leave, she will give Xia Ning another lesson before that.
The pouring wine happened to provide the opportunity for Xia Ning to get close to Su Shen. She feels angry about that. Even if she has to offend Su Shen, it is impossible for her to give this advantage to Xia Ning.
“I heard clearly. I come here to take that woman to leave with me. That woman is tricky. Shen, don’t be tricked by her. Where is she?”
Su Shen’s face freezes deadly. At the time, Xia Ning has changed her clothes and comes out.
Everyone is shocked in silence.
The purple cheongsam with rhododendrons seems to be specially made for Xia Ning. It fits her well with no flaws. Xia Ning’s unique manners of a pretty girl from a decent family match the cheongsam perfectly and provide the very exact expression for it!
Su Shen’s eyes brighten. He looks at her in surprise.
This dress was customized for Xiaolan. But now, Xia Ning wears it and it feels that it is specially made for Xia Ning.
He has to admit that this cheongsam is more suitable for Xia Ning than for Xiaolan.
Wu Ying is good at designing all kinds of cheongsams. She only designs three pieces every month. They are totally handmade. Every thread of them is done carefully. They have no copies all over the world. It is said that a cheongsam can recognize its owner. Su Shen doubted that in the past. Today, he believes it with no doubts.
“Wow. Sister Xia, you are very beautiful! This cheongsam fits you very well!” Su Xueli can’t help crying in admiration.
“Thank you.” Xia Ning is aware of the admiration of everyone. She feels a little shy. However, she collects herself very soon.
It is bad. Du Bei is here, too!
When did she come? The medical room is good in sound insulation, so Xia Ning didn’t hear any sounds outside just now. If she had known that Du Bei was here in advance, she wouldn’t have come out in the cheongsam.
Du Bu looks at the cheongsam Xia Ning wears. She has the desire to rush to Xia Ning and tear her into pieces!
She knew long ago that Su Shen had a cheongsam designed by Wu Ying. God knows how much she wants to have such a cheongsam. However, she tried everything but failed. These cheongsams are not only exquisitely designed, but they are also an identity of dignity. Thus, ever since Xiaolan passed away, Du Bu has tried every way to tell Su Shen that she wants to have that cheongsam.
She knows that Su Shen took the cheongsam as a great precious. Seemingly, it stands for his wife. If Du Bei can be able to get the cheongsam, she will get closer to the identity of Su Shen’s wife.
She has made all the plans to achieve her goal. However, surprisingly, someone shows up in halfway. The cheongsam is taken away by an unknown reporter!
How can she be resigned to that?
