The car stopped steadily at the entrance of the Sheng Shi Hotel, and the moment Su Qiu's hand touched the door, she was stopped.

When Su Qiu was still a delicate lady, Father Su had given her many of these things. She knew with a glance what was good or bad, and now that Shen Ling had given this to her, she knew the value of it, and she didn't dare accept it.

Su Qiu did not dare to move, and gave her the chance to put on the necklace.

"This is a gift to you, there is no reason for you to return it." He sized up the increasingly beautiful Su Qiu in front of him, and his smile completely betrayed his current happy mood.

That's right, the book had said that if a man spent money on a woman he liked, it would bring him a sense of satisfaction.

They looked at each other for a few minutes, her face flushed red from his stare, before he let her out of the car.

Su Qiu got off the carriage carrying her skirt. She, who hadn't worn her high heels for a long time, currently carefully stepped on Hateful Sky as she followed behind Shen Ling.

The black belt on her high heels coquettishly wrapped around her calf, as if a flower was about to bloom in the next second.

"If you feel that you can't walk stably, you should support my arm." Realizing that Su Qiu was in a difficult situation, Shen Ling whispered into her ear. As he said that, he moved his arm over, "I don't wish for Mrs. Shen to make a fool of himself at the royal ball, and become the company's laughingstock tomorrow morning."

His mouth was becoming more and more venomous.

Thinking about it this way, Su Qiu still feared the content of his words, and naturally reached out to support the other party.

"I won't embarrass you. As for the name of Mrs. Shen … "Don't worry." Su Qiu muttered, grabbing him tightly, and even intentionally used his hands to rub the sleeves of his suit.

Su Qiu did not dare to go back on her words, but Shen Ling would definitely not be able to see such a small amount of revenge, right?

On the other side, Shen Ling pretended not to see the childish woman's revenge, and the two walked into the Golden Age Hotel together.

The decorations of Sheng Shi Hotel was extremely exquisite, coincidentally, it was the style that Su Qiu liked. Along the way, there were many famous paintings that hung on the corridor, causing Su Qiu to be lost in thought.

When Shen Ling noticed this detail, his eyebrows jumped, and he memorized it silently.

Walking to the door of the great hall where the meeting place was located, Su Qiu quietly stopped her steps and took deep breaths continuously.

The memory of the humiliation and ridicule Su Qiu suffered three years ago at that banquet was still fresh in her mind.

Yes, she was afraid.

"Go in." After accompanying her for more than a minute, Shen Ling pushed open the door to the hall.

The people in the hall were more or less done, and most of them were people that Su Qiu did not recognize. Everyone saw Shen Ling bringing a beautiful woman with her, and all of them went closer to take a look.

"Come earlier." Qiao Zhi appeared out of nowhere, his eyes tightly locked onto Su Qiu, as if he was admiring his own work.

Su Qiu took two steps back. Fortunately, she was supporting Shen Ling the entire time so she was able to stand firmly.

Since Qiao Zhi could freely enter and leave the Shen's Consortium, then so could the royal ball.

"Go and take a seat first. I'll have a few words with the partner before coming over to dance the first dance with you." Shen Ling brought Su Qiu to the resting area at the side. Although he was not at ease with this seductive woman staying here alone, he could not delay the matters of the situation. "You must behave yourself."

"Yes." Su Qiu nodded.

Shen Ling reached out his hand, and the tip of his finger suddenly fell on Su Qiu's chest.

"What are you trying to do …" She almost cried out.

"Women are quieter, and men like them more." Shen Ling helped her arrange the purple gem pendant on her chest, said a few words, and then walked towards the crowd.

Su Qiu felt her cheeks burning up, her gaze following Shen Ling.

"Su Qiu?"

Suddenly, someone called her name. She subconsciously turned her head and the person she saw was Meng Wanran.

She … Su Qiu knew her, she was the granddaughter of this city's local tyrant. She had been spoiled since young, and had pursued Qi Shaofei before.

Thinking about it, she did not want to get into trouble, so she got up and prepared to leave, but Meng Wanran grabbed her wrist.

"Su Qiu, I have good intentions to come and reminisce with you. Why are you running away?" She had a sweet smile on her face and her eyes were curved. She was harmless and natural.

How could Su Qiu not understand the young miss's thoughts? The two of them had played together for a while at school because their family backgrounds were similar, but Su Qiu had treated them wholeheartedly, and never expected that Qi Shaofei would cause Meng Wanran's face to fall.

Sisters who could turn hostile for such a thing as a man would be called sisters in vain.

Su Qiu raised her chin, as if she had found her arrogance from a few years ago. "I think that there's nothing much to discuss between you and me."

Wan-Er was her nickname for her. She hadn't used it in a few years, so she was a bit unfamiliar with it.

Meng Wanran paused for a moment, and then the stiff smile on her face magnified, as she approached Su Qiu, so close that Su Qiu could see her eyelashes tremble slightly.

"I told you too, we are reminiscing about old times. Since Qi Shaofei is back, how could you not know?" Meng Wanran spoke of the person she once loved, her tone agitated. "Su Qiu, are you going to repeat the same trick and interfere when I go out to find him?"

Su Qiu was stunned, she admitted that her imagination wasn't even close to Meng Wanran's.

"I'm very busy." She was silent for a long time before she squeezed these words out of her mouth.

Gu Wan Ran sneered and knew that the "Queen Su Qiu" from three years ago had died due to the bankruptcy of the Su Family. She continued to mock him, "Didn't the Su Family go bankrupt a long time ago? The Su's consortium has also transferred the name to the Shen's Consortium. What are you so busy with? "

Su Qiu's hand clenched into a ball, and her knuckles turned completely white.

He had indeed made the same mistake... These hateful people were constantly rubbing salt on her wounds.

Oh, right, I heard that young miss Su sold herself to her nemesis, Shen Ling. Under the title of Madam Shen who does not have a watch, she is actually busy serving tea at home right? Meng Wanran reached out and grabbed Su Qiu's chin, using force on purpose. When she let go of her hand, an obvious red mark was left on her fair skin.
