The feast had begun. Under the fiery red lights, the scene was one of feigned camaraderie. Who was it that kept changing shapes with whom? Who was it that kept using another posture to wander the world? Who looked at the crowd walking on the dance floor and in the light? Did they use their real faces?

Sometimes life is like such a banquet, it seems endless, but everyone knows, behind this scenery is a wound full of holes, maybe dirty, maybe endless crisis.

Su Jin smiled as she received the guests. Her smile seemed to be carved out of a mold and was filled with a layer of unchanging gentleness and estrangement. Although it seemed to be a joyful scene, it seemed to have some malicious intent. The reason why Su Jin laughed at this banquet was not because of the nobles, nor was it because of the so-called upstarts. Although it seemed like a banquet specially prepared for the four families, it had the illusion of a Hongmen feast.

The woman under the light attracted thousands of flirtatious feelings, making people want to get closer to her. However, the estrangement in her eyes made people not dare to go near, and they could only quietly stand outside, looking at the peerless people.

Although the party said it was for her birthday, it was actually a business banquet, and the atmosphere was heavy with the feeling of business. Today was the day her birthday would be announced, and she would become the target of public criticism.

Unfortunately, some people were destined to take a huge risk. Su Jin smiled as she understood that she couldn't wait for that person to claim her inheritance. If she died, then Shu Jingyuan would die. And the one who reaped the most benefits would naturally be the one standing in the middle, leisurely, with Shu Qin, standing behind him.

If she died, then everything would turn into a different situation. She would not let others marry her so easily, so as long as she died, all the people from the Shu Family would die with her. She believed that she would not do it herself, but there were two people who would do it, especially the person who had grasped the thousand-year situation.

This play seemed to be getting more and more interesting. Should she pretend to be soft and weak in order to get some sympathy? Suddenly, she let out a cold laugh. Even this inexplicably raised sneer was enough to arouse the light of her admirers. Looking at her, it was as if she was looking at the person in their hearts.

"So despicable." A voice pierced the ears of several people. Although it was heard by only a few people, it still caused quite a stir. Su Jin smiled at the woman who was glaring at her and shook her head. Did this woman not know that her words would arouse so much dissatisfaction and suspicion? Aristocratic families were like this. When there were people, there would always be a lot of gossip and it would also make people feel uncomfortable. However, to her, this kind of thing was a simple joke.

"Miss Su is today's birthday, why are you hiding here to drink?" Liu Qingyu slowly walked over. Her faint smile could enchant a group of women, but it did not include Su Jin's smile. This person was very young. Compared to her father and Shu Jingyuan, he was in his thirties, the prime age for men, and was also a famous person. As he walked over, he naturally attracted many gazes.

Many people didn't know Su Jin Xiao, but they did recognize this famous star director. Those who were chosen by him would be able to enjoy life in this world, and those who were invited were all curious about him fawning on a nameless woman. When Su Jin smiled at the guests, she had a lot of radiance. However, what she received was only the people in the family that could speak for themselves.

"Mr. Liu seems to be very free." She raised the wine glass in her hand and clinked it against the cup. With a calm face and a pair of dark and deep eyes, her glistening lips seemed to attract people to come closer. She was a very beautiful woman.

Her smile was very beautiful, so beautiful that it was suffocating. A group of black clothed people stood in the crowd, they were like fairies in the dark night, yet her entire body was filled with an enchanting brilliance, directly reaching into one's heart. This was a girl with exceptional acting talent. However, she had always been a ghost watching from the sidelines. She had only watched from the side, and had never easily assimilated into his body.

Su Jin was just a spectator. It was more appropriate to say that she was playing chess.

"I'm not very free, of course I'm here specifically for you. The person I introduced last time was not bad, but I still hope to invite you to be the main character of one of my movies, is that alright?"

"Heh." Su Jin smiled as she drank a mouthful of wine and placed the cup on the waiter's plate, "Mr. Liu, no matter how many times this happens, I think the answer I gave you will always be the same. Naturally, I will reject it."

BOOM! Hearing her categorical rejection, everyone present found it hard to believe. This was a chance that everyone wanted, but this person who seemed to fit the criteria of a director and was unwilling to accept it. Just who was she?

"It's embarrassing."

"That's your problem." Su Jin smiled and shrugged her shoulders. She did not waver because of the whispers. She did not like Liu Qingyu, but of course, no one would look good in front of someone who wanted to kill them. Furthermore, she did not want to make a movie, nor was she interested in making a movie with Liu Qingyu.

"Truly heartless."

"You just found out." The two of them chatted non-stop into the ears of the busybodies. Their faces constantly changed, and some people were even trying to guess the identity of Su Jin Xiao.

Just what kind of background did someone have to be able to face a celebrity so easily and reject such a good director?

"Miss Su is truly surprising. Don't tell me that after you've released all of that in the future, you've never thought of doing anything. I'm very kind to be planning for your future." He whispered these words into her ear, but they didn't seem to be kissing.

Su Jin's eyes flashed as she was suddenly pulled into a person's embrace as his fist landed on Liu Qingyu's stomach. The crowd burst into an uproar. The situation at the scene was very chaotic. Someone screamed and hit Su Jin, but the culprit standing there didn't seem to hear anything as he hugged Su Jin in his arms.

"If you can't force it, then don't force it. Could it be that no one told you to not touch what you shouldn't?" His voice was cold and hard, and his entire body was exuding a vicious, murderous aura. No one dared to take a step closer to him. Su Jin's smile was tightly covered up like a victim. It seemed that the one who was really hurt was her.

The noise attracted everyone's attention. The person who was punched in the waist raised his head and looked at the menacing man, unconsciously taking a step back. It was the first time in more than thirty years that a junior had beaten him so badly.

"Are you okay?" A person behind reached out to support Liu Qingyu as he spoke with concern. He waved his hand as if he wanted to get away from the man's support, but a hand pulled him even tighter. "I can see that you're not lightly injured. I'll take you to the hospital to have a look." The passionate person carried a trace of unyielding. He wanted to see who that person was, but because of the dim light, he couldn't see clearly.

Su Jin laughed while rolling her eyes. Since when did these guys come and they were so kind to send someone to the hospital?

"There's an infirmary up there. Let the family doctor take a look for him." Pointing at the second floor, Su Jin smiled and said, "My friend is too rude and rude. I'm so sorry, let me send you up."

"I'll send him to the doctor. After all, it was unintentional of me to injure him." With a cold and harsh explanation, the crowd seemed to have understood something and burst into laughter. So it was because of the situation earlier, that woman's friend had misunderstood. Then what was the situation now?

"There's a family doctor, that's good. He's too heavy. Lead the way, I'll follow him." Pointing at himself and the person protecting Su Jin's smile, that person smiled evilly.
