Yan Ruoxue looked at Su Yan with cold eyes, her face filled with iciness.

“I...” Su Yan glared at her and was about to open her mouth to retort.

Luckily, Zhao Gang covered her mouth in time and then said in a trembling voice, “Miss Yan, she... How can she be qualified to go on stage? Don’t be ridiculous...”

Yan Ruoxue sneered and said, “If she dares to speak out of turn again, she will face the consequences.”

After saying this, Yan Ruoxue ignored Zhao Gang.

“Hmph, isn’t she deliberately messing with us? If they didn’t choose us, why did they shine the light on us?” Su Yan murmured.

“Shut up!” Zhao Gang let out a stern bellow. He could not help but feel vexed. The longer he looked at Su Yan, the more annoyed he felt.

“No, the opportunity that the Zhao family fought so hard for cannot be ruined just like that!” Zhao Gang thought to himself furiously.

His mind was racing as he tried to find a way to salvage the situation.

At the same time, Yan Ruoxue was already dragging Qin Yu off the stage and straight toward the front table.

Everyone seated at the table was people of prominent status. No one from Jiangcheng, except the Mayor, could sit there.

It was impossible not to be nervous in front of these big shots.

But Qin Yu came to his senses. He had been a coward for most of his life, but from now on, he would never be a coward again.

Moreover, in his heart, Qin Yu had already developed feelings for Yan Ruoxue.

If he continued to be a coward, how could he be deserving to be with Yan Ruoxue?

The two walked straight to the table and sat down.

Yan Ruoxue smiled graciously.

Qin Yu also tried to act as natural as possible.

Once the pair sat down, everyone’s gazes were directed at Qin Yu. There was blatant confusion in their eyes.

“Ruoxue, what exactly is this young man’s background? Why is it that I’ve never heard of him before?” At last, a middle-aged man in a traditional Chinese suit asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.

Yan Ruoxue smiled as she said, “Uncle Wu, would you believe me if I tell you he is an up-and-coming big shot?”

This made Uncle Wu look a little awkward, but because of Yan Ruoxue’s reputation, he kept his cool.

“Let’s start eating, or the food will get cold.” The person beside him quickly raised a glass of wine to calm the situation.

The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful, but Uncle Wu’s expression was nowhere near pleasant.

Seeing this, Qin Yu lifted his glass and offered a toast to the man. “Uncle Wu, perhaps I was wrong. Please do not be offended.”

Uncle Wu glanced at Qin Yu with a grunt and turned his head to the side.

Qin Yu was extremely embarrassed with his wine glass left hanging in the air.

He had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

“There is no need to be upset,” said Yan Ruoxue with a smile. She leaned in close to Qin Yu.

“To them, you are just an ordinary person, but for my sake, they will respect you. That is only on the surface, though.”

“If you want to gain the respect of others, prove yourself to them,” Yan Ruoxue said with a wink.

When he met Yan Ruoxue’s gaze, Qin Yu immediately felt that no obstacle could stop him.

He nodded his head determinedly and said, “I will definitely prove to them that your choice is right!”

“I believe in you.” Yan Ruoxue’s gaze made Qin Yu feel smitten.

“Yan... Miss Yan...”

Interrupting Qin Yu was Zhao Gang and Su Yan, who suddenly came over with their glasses of wine.

Zhao Gang was reluctant to bring along the idiotic Su Yan, but if she did not come to apologize, then being forgiven would be close to impossible!

Zhao Gang seriously explained the stakes at hand to Su Yan before biting the bullet and walking over with her.

As she looked at the couple, Yan Ruoxue could not help but smirk with amusement.

Zhao Gang had nervousness written all over his face, and his hand was even trembling as he held the wine glass.

He knew that this woman in front of him could decide the fate of the Zhao family with the wave of a hand.

“Yan... Miss Yan, I was ignorant to have offended you. I hope you will forgive me...” Zhao Gang said in a quivering voice.

He tugged Su Yan’s hand with great force.

Even though Su Yan was unwilling, she apologized and said, “Miss Yan, right? A word of caution. How could you fall for a person like Qin Yu? He’s a total loser who can’t do anything but fold laundry and cook! The word ‘loser’ is a compliment when it comes to the likes of him!”
