Chapter 4 - Participation in the Family Banquet

Su Qiao An heard the heart that had been quiet for a long time, like it had been dead for a long time, slowly reviving, pulsing with strength again and again.

She was almost mesmerized by the sight of her face getting closer and closer. She couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it, but she didn't dare.

Zhu Jiangci reached his hands out to the back of her head and touched that ice-cold thing, then slightly pulled it out with force.

Her black hair flowed down her shoulders.

A hint of surprise flashed through Zhu Jiangci's black eyes, but he was able to cover it up. He slowly moved away and said, "Alright, let's go!"

"..."

Su Yun stood where he was, touching his hair that had been torn apart, his heart in his lower left chest was beating erratically.

She … So useless...

Just being a little bit closer was enough to make one's heart tremble.

Her long, drooping eyelashes withdrew the loneliness in her eyes as she strode out after him.

She originally wanted to drive back, but Zhu Jiangci pulled her car.

The more they drove, the more weird it became. Su Qiao An frowned and asked, "This isn't the way to my house, where are you bringing me to?"

Zhu Jiangci raised his eyes lazily and looked at the woman with dishevelled hair in the rearview mirror, "Are you planning to go back with me like this? If you don't mind losing face, then I will lose face. "

"Su Qiao An, you fought for this marriage yourself. Then I'll have to trouble you to settle this yourself so that you won't lose face in front of others."

She didn't say anything, just glanced at the man driving.

What did Zhu Jiangci know? She was a fledgling woman who did not have the ability to protect himself. He often encountered various clients and defendants.

All she could do was disguise herself, so that she wouldn't be humiliated.

Zhu Jiangci said that everything she had now was entrusted onto him, these words made Su Qiao An want to laugh.

She had fought with everything that she had, bit by bit, before finally sitting down in her current position.

And all of this, as a husband, he knew nothing about, because he never cared about his own life.

While his mind was wandering, the car stopped in front of a ladies' clothing store.

"Get off," Zhu Jiangci said coldly, and took the lead to get off.

Su Qiao An looked at the female dressing hall outside the window. He could only choose to get off the carriage and follow Zhu Jiangci.

"Chu Shao!"

"Yeah, pick out a suit for her and put it on properly." Zhu Jiangci said to the shop assistant without turning his head back.

The sales clerk's gaze landed on Su Qiao An who came in afterwards, and after sizing him up for a bit, he replied respectfully, "Alright, Chu Shao, please wait for a moment."

When Su Qiao An approached, he was pulled inside by the shop assistant.

A group of people held clothes and shoes as they gestured at her. Only then did they confirm the dress and let her go to the fitting room to change it.

If not for the fact that she had to go back to the Mrs. Chu for the Family Banquet, she would not even bother to deal with Zhu Jiangci, much less be pulled around by people like a puppet.

After changing his clothes, he was once again pressed into a soft chair.

When the man came to take off his glasses, Su Qiao An grabbed his wrist, "No, don't take it off."

Miss, the reason why Chu Shao handed you over to us was so that we could properly dress you up. If we do not satisfy you, we will not have any good fruits to eat.

Her clear eyes looked drowsy. Su Qiao An's grip on his wrist gradually loosened and dropped to her lap.

She allowed him to take off his thick and aged black-rimmed glasses, allowing him to fiddle with her face.

Outside

Zhu Jiangci was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, his eyes downcast, flipping through a magazine.

The mottled afterglow of the setting sun outside the window firmly enveloped his tall and sturdy figure. The clean and clear outline of his figure was sketched out until it became hazy and blurry. His brows and eyes had also lost their coldness, appearing somewhat gentler.

"Chu Shao, it's done."

Hearing the other party's words, Zhu Jiangci lifted his gaze and shifted his gaze from the magazine to the person who was slowly walking into his line of sight.

Wiping the chest and tail long skirt, skirt wide and long.

The length of her skirt reached only to her knees, revealing her straight and glossy calves.

The dress designed by pinching her waist fit perfectly, perfectly outlining her beautiful figure.

The beauty that flashed past Zhu Jiangci's eyes, was not only because of the clothes, but also because of Qing Yan's small face that was usually hidden under her thick black-rimmed glasses.

Eyebrows not drawn, lips not nodded but Zhu, clear water out of hibiscus.

He had seen a lot of women before, so he could tell if they were real or just relying on makeup.

Zhu Jiangci just did not expect Su Qiao An to have such a good background.

He stood up and approached Su Yun, carefully sizing him up.

To Su Qiao An, all she saw was a blurry figure.

She was severely nearsighted and wore heavy black-rimmed glasses to prevent unnecessary trouble and to prevent her from seeing anything when she removed her glasses.

She could vaguely feel Zhu Jiangci's approach, and her delicate hands tightly gripped her skirt.

The other party was only 1.87, and he was only 168. Wearing high heels would make him worse than the other party, but in terms of aura, Zhu Jiangci had completely crushed her.

"Su Qiao An?" He dubiously pulled up a strand of black hair that was resting on Su Qiao An's shoulder. "Look at your current appearance, do you look like a product that is waiting for its guests to auction? Do you think that there will be a man who will buy you away tonight? "

She felt that her nervousness was completely unnecessary. She thought that she would receive a compliment, but she didn't expect that all she could hear from his mouth was humiliation.

Su Qiao An pushed him, "You still need to go back to the old house to see dad, I don't want to argue with you, you don't want to see me, so don't come and provoke me."

A sneer came into his ears, "You think I'm messing with you? Don't forget that it was you who provoked me first. If it wasn't for the good thing you did with that lowly mother of yours, I wouldn't have needed to marry you. "

"Enough!" Su Qiao An said with a cold little face, "Don't say such vulgar words, or such vulgar words! Yes! You and Jiang Kerou, you are both incomparably noble, a person like me cannot afford it. Master Chu Shao, our agreement will expire in a few months, then we can part ways, and you don't have to be tied up with me anymore. "

If you can't tolerate it, I'll have to trouble you for a few months. I didn't take the initiative to provoke you because you had something to ask for my help, so please be at ease. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I'll return to my old house later.

Due in a few months.

Zhu Jiangci was startled for a moment, and he vaguely remembered the time when he was forced into marriage, when he and Su Qiao An signed an agreement for the marriage.

It was clearly stated that Party A and Party B's marriage only lasted for three years. If the Party B did not change his mind after three years, then their marriage would automatically be annulled, and Party B would have to transfer all the shares held by Party A to Party A.

Almost there? Was this nightmare of torture really going to end so soon?

Zhu Jiangci didn't notice the date in the slightest, he didn't think that Su Qiao An would remember it so clearly.

She had been preparing to leave since a long time ago, so she couldn't wait to get out of here as soon as possible.

No matter what reason Su Qiao An's thoughts were about, it was enough to arouse his anger.
