207: The confusion of the people in the Magic City? The Wang family's calculations (leave)
Night fell.
Outside the Magic City Grand Hotel, the air was buzzing with noise as the powerful and wealthy gathered.
Countless tycoons and celebrities arrived one after another in luxury cars.
They were all here to attend the Celebration Banquet held by the Su Corporation...
At the hotel's back entrance.
A Maybach slowly came to a stop.
The car door opened, and the figures of Lin Xuan and his companion appeared.
...
[Ever since Father and the others passed away, the Su Family has gradually declined, and its influence has waned day by day.]
[I haven't seen such a prosperous scene like today's in many years.]
[It would be wonderful if Grandpa could see this; he would surely be very gratified...]
[It's a pity my Aunt... this is too cruel for Grandpa...]
[This relationship can only be severed by me. I hope Grandpa won't be too grieved when he wakes up...]
...
Looking at the banquet hall crowded with guests, Su Qingge's expression was complex.
In recent years, the Su Corporation had been losing its strength day by day.
She hadn't expected that upon waking from her long dream, she would see such a sight again. It truly was... the fickleness of the world!
The only regret was...
She had to part ways with her biological aunt tonight, and from then on, they would be like strangers.
At the thought of this, Su Qingge felt a tightness in her chest, an extreme discomfort.
But she was a highly rational person and naturally understood the principle that indecision leads to trouble.
Her aunt was beyond saving. To ensure the century-old foundation of the Su Corporation wasn't dragged down, she had no choice but to... sacrifice family for the greater good!!!
If Grandpa were still conscious, he would surely have made the same decision as her.
However, to personally cast out the daughter he raised since childhood...
It was too cruel for Grandpa. He was already exhausted in body and mind, and she feared he wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow.
So, this task could only be carried out by her...
Just as Su Qingge was secretly grieving, a pair of broad arms wrapped around her from behind.
The sound of steady breathing came from near her ear.
“Qingge! Whatever decision you make, I will stay by your side.”
Lin Xuan's words were like spring sunshine, warmly shining into the girl's heart, making her unconsciously curl her lips into a smile as her worries dissipated.
That's right!
Things were different now; she was no longer alone.
The greatest gain from this journey of slumber was the man behind her...
Without his help, how could the Su Family have had the chance to restore its former glory?!
For the sake of all the important people around me, I must draw a clear line with that foolish aunt.
Thinking of this.
The confusion in Su Qingge's heart vanished, and her eyes became firm once more.
“Let's go, Qingge! You still need to dress up before going on stage.”
Lin Xuan gave a free and easy smile as he pushed the wheelchair, and their figures disappeared into the hotel's back entrance...
...
At the hotel entrance.
For the sake of letting her man show his face in front of many powerful figures.
As soon as Su Yan, dressed in a red qipao, got out of the car, she immediately took Wang Defa's arm and stood at the hotel entrance to welcome guests.
She greeted the passing guests with a smile, acting like the hostess of the banquet, thanking the various tycoons for gracing the event with their presence.
...
“Mr. Lu, your presence today truly brings honor to my Su Family!”
“You're too kind, Miss Ji, thank you for coming. Please, come in, come in!”
“Haha... CEO Lu, the last time we met was a month ago, wasn't it? You seem to be getting younger and younger!”
“━((*′д`) Yao(′д`*))━ It's windy outside, everyone please come inside!!! Thank you all for your support!”
“...”
Having been taught by Su Shengtian, Su Yan's social skills were naturally not bad after years of observation.
Moreover, having inherited the good genes of the Su lineage, her appearance was beyond reproach.
Coupled with her shapely figure and gentle, graceful temperament, she embodied female elegance and nobility.
Who would resist talking to such a beautiful woman?
As she stood at the door, many powerful figures naturally came forward to offer their congratulations.
The only thing the tycoons found an eyesore...
Was the old geezer Su Yan was intimately clinging to. His face was full of wrinkles, and when he smiled, he revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth, making many noble ladies feel nauseous.
There were many jokes circulating in Magic City about Su Yan's 'love brain'.
Many noble families had naturally guessed Wang Defa's identity.
This made many people present feel extremely unbalanced in their hearts.
They completely couldn't understand what a beauty of this level saw in this stinking old man???
Their looks were miles ahead of this old fossil; why didn't any beautiful young women take an interest in them?!
But even if they were bewildered in their hearts.
Everyone met Wang Defa with a smile. No one would be so rude as to make a scene in such a setting, causing both parties to lose face.
Because the resurgence of the Su Corporation was already a foreseeable fact.
And it was heard that Su Shengtian was hospitalized in critical condition, his only granddaughter was a vegetable, and that live-in son-in-law brought in for luck didn't seem to have received any company shares yet...
In the future, the Su Corporation would most likely fall into Su Yan's hands, so she was not to be offended.
Only a few well-informed celebrities had flickering gazes, their looks toward Su Yan filled with playfulness...
In a remote corner of the banquet hall.
The three members of Wang Fugui's family were gathered, their faces full of triumphant smiles.
When they first saw so many tycoons, they had felt a bit intimidated.
Coming from a small family background, where would they have ever been to such high-end occasions?
But unexpectedly, upon learning the three were Wang Defa's son and daughter-in-law, many big shots immediately treated them with warmth, drinking and chatting happily with them.
This caused the vanity of Wang Fugui's family to instantly skyrocket.
“Grandpa really is capable!”
“If he hadn't managed to wrap that stupid woman around his finger, we might never have squeezed into this elite circle in our lives.”
Wang Xiao Fa's eyebrows were practically jumping to the sky; he was feeling lightheaded and incredibly satisfied.
“Keep your voice down, that's your grandmother.”
“If your grandmother hears you, I'm afraid she'll have an issue with us.”
Wang Fugui was startled, the fat on his face trembling as he hastily glared at his son.
Being in this high-society banquet...
He knew deep down that the Wang Family's current status was inseparable from Su Yan's support, so he became increasingly cautious.
“Oh, Dad, you're overthinking it.”
“It's more like that woman is trying to please us; how would she dare to have an issue? She's been PUA'd so well by Grandpa that she wouldn't dare feel dissatisfied even if she were beaten to death.”
“She even relies on us to put in a good word so Grandpa will marry her sooner!”
Wang Xiao Fa gave a disdainful smile.
Even though Su Yan was quite a bit older than him.
Her usual humble and fawning attitude had long made him look down on her from the bottom of his heart.
“Xiao Fa! Keep it down, walls have ears. Now that that damn vegetable has woken up, the initiative isn't in Su Yan's hands, do you understand?”
“Although that girl values family ties, she doesn't give us any face. Even if we can use Su Yan to manipulate her niece,”
“We must maintain a balance. Otherwise, if that little bitch gets desperate and family ties can no longer restrain her, it'll be trouble...”
“We need to use the family bond between the aunt and niece to seek as much profit as possible for our Wang Family...”
“...”
Zhu Xiuman stopped her son's nonsense, her eyes full of calculating intent.
Hearing this.
Wang Xiao Fa frowned, but ultimately heeded some of it, reining in his arrogant attitude.
The whole family knew very well.
At this Celebration Banquet, Su Qingge would surely find a way to lower her head and take the initiative to apologize to her aunt.
For the Wang Family to grow and expand, they had to choose to endure for now, keeping a low profile to gain Su Qingge's trust, and finally play the sympathy card using the child...
Just as the three members of the Wang Family were harboring their sinister schemes!
Lin Xuan, having changed into formal attire and holding a glass of red wine, appeared alone in the banquet hall...
