“About the school’s anniversary celebration… I apologize on behalf of Qianrou… But she said she was really worried about you and that’s why she called your family…”
Shen Fanxing smirked and lowered her gaze to the wine glass in her hand.
“That’s enough. Do you think I have to forgive her just because you apologized on her behalf? Yes, your Qianrou is always so kind and innocent. How could she possibly frame me and Chen Yinsen for adultery?”
“Fanxing… Qianrou has already explained that there might be a misunderstanding…”
Su Heng looked conflicted. Even he was unconvinced after apologizing, but how could he cause the rift between them to widen…
“There is indeed a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding although for no apparent reason, she was so certain about my relationship with Chen Yinsen. It was also a misunderstanding when she brought so many people along to knock on my door. Getting the Shen family over and I had to suffer that slap was also a misunderstanding… Including the previous incidents…”
Shen Fanxing paused and grinned. “Perhaps I was born to be at loggerheads with Shen Qianrou. There are so many misunderstandings between us. Yet, it’s not a misunderstanding when she suffered grievances because of me. So it’s normal for me to be the evil one in your eyes?”
Her tone was nonchalant and calm, but it was brimming with sarcasm to Su Heng.
“Fanxing, that’s not what I meant. I’ve never said that you’re evil…”
Shen Fanxing chuckled and shook her head. “Forget it. In your eyes, it doesn’t matter if I’m evil or not. I don’t care what you think of me either. I will definitely make Shen Qianrou and the Shen family pay for what they have done to me! That includes you, Su Heng. Shen Qianrou likes to snatch things away from me, doesn’t she? Go ahead. Because whatever she has stolen from me, I will make her lose that! The more she takes from me, the more intense the agony she will be in after losing everything.”
With that, she turned to leave despite Su Heng’s dazed expression.
“Oh, right…”
Shen Fanxing paused and turned to Su Heng with a smile.
“You brought Shen Qianrou here this time because you want her to help the Su Corporation to win over the Pei Corporation? The investment by the Pei Corporation is quite substantial. I think Zhi Qin Cosmetics will definitely rise to greater heights with the support of the Pei Corporation.”
Su Heng’s heart sank and he grabbed Shen Fanxing’s wrist.
“So the reason you’re here today is to attract the Pei Corporation’s investment on behalf of Zhi Qin Cosmetics?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Fanxing!” Su Heng knitted his eyebrows and surveyed her as though she was a stranger. He growled, “You obviously know how important the Pei Corporation is to the Su Corporation!”
As Shen Fanxing spoke, she flung his hand away forcefully and looked at him coldly.
“What does it have to do with me now?”
Shen Fanxing snapped before she turned around and left coldly.
…
Not long after that conversation, the birthday celebration officially started.
With his crutch, Old Master Pei was supported to the master seat.
Even though he was at a ripe old age, he still possessed a strong aura and presence.
Those bright eyes of his possessed a stubborn spirit that had not succumbed to time.
Waves of congratulatory wishes sounded one after another. After that, everyone took their seats. The elders didn’t like a big fuss and it wasn’t the trend either.
Naturally, Old Master Pei didn’t care about dances or performances. As his granddaughter-in-law, Ye Susu had always known what he liked.
Tonight, they had specially invited a famous drama troupe in the capital city. They were performing a classic song about the female warrior and heroine of the Yang saga.
