Chapter 284: Set Her Sights On Him

Su Ruowan gave him the evil glare before scoffing, “I may be ugly but I’m still better than you who can’t even show your face.”

Fu Qingxuan was still trying to have the last word. “I’m scared that you’d just hate yourself and wish you’re dead once you take a look at my face.”

Since Su Ruowan knew what he wanted and how to catch his eyes, standing up to him was the right way to go. “Well, prove it.”

Raising a brow, Fu Qingxuan retorted with a smile, “I’m not going to let you see my face just because you want to see it.”

Su Ruowan lost it. “…”

Su Muxuan pulled her to sit down before shooting Fu Qingxuan a glare. “Wanwan, why bother talking to an animal?” What was going on with Wanwan today? Why was she interested in a despicable and shameless guy like this, to the extent of lying just to get his attention? She was never like this.

Su Ruowan thought to herself, “What do you know? He’s not some animal. He’s Fu Qingxuan.” Nevertheless, she murmured another lie, “He really looks like the hero who saved me.”

Looking sour, Li Jingran turned to Su Yi who remained unfazed throughout. “Honey, what is it with you? Are you going to let Wanwan be pushed over?”

Su Yi glanced at her and spoke into Li Jingran’s ear, “Can’t you see? Wanwan has her own plans. The man doesn’t look like any ordinary man.”

This was the daughter he raised. He used to think she was innocent and kind.

Ever since the incident, Su Yi realized that she was nothing as perceived as her appearance.

Su Ruowan lied and told Li Jingran and the rest that she was picked on when heading to the loo alone in the mall two days ago. It was Fu Qingxuan who drove the bad guys away for her.

Li Jingran took Su Ruowan’s words as gospel. She felt sorry for Su Ruowan. “Child, why didn’t you tell me you were taken advantage of?”

With her eyes tearing up, Su Ruowan bit her lips and mumbled, “I didn’t want to make you feel worried.”

Li Jingran despondently hugged her. “Don’t ever hide this from me, okay?”

Wanwan was so sensible it broke her heart.

“Mom, I’m fine,” Su Ruowan softly batted her doe eyes at Li Jingran.

Li Jingran shared a girly talk with Su Ruowan. “Wanwan, keep in mind that you’re the future wife to the Gu family. Focus on that.” That man may have saved her, but he was no good with that arrogance of his. Wanwan should not be with someone like him and Li Jingran would never approve of it.

Su Ruowan’s eyes welled up, her voice was hoarse, “But Mom, I won’t be once Shen Xi is back.”

Li Jingran turned solemn. Before a better candidate came along, their priority was to get the Gu family and Gu Xiaohan in the bag. That way, Su Ruowan would have an easy life after marriage. “No, you’re my daughter. I will give you anything you want.”

With downcast eyes, Su Ruowan hid the glee she felt.

She might not have Fu Qingye.

However, Fu Qingxuan would be hers.

After a few exchanges, she was certain that Fu Qingxuan was a cocky, rash, and brainless idiot.

It would only take a little effort for her to play him like a violin.

Su Ruowan would kick Gu Xiaohan aside once she had secured Fu Qingxuan.

Gu Xiaohan started giving her the cold shoulder after the son of the b*tch found out that Yu An was the Situ family’s granddaughter. Bingbing even told her that she had seen Gu Xiaohan and Yu An together.

However, Su Ruowan’s hands were tied since she had no proof.

She had no alternative at this stage other than securing her spot as the future wife to the Gu family. Hence, it was no time to have a falling out with Gu Xiaohan.

Fu Qingxuan’s mood was ruined.

Qingli and Qingye would never let him hear the end of it if the whole thing blew out of proportion. Fu Qingxuan was tempted to throw the bunch of Su family out of here as breathing the same air as they were only made him feel like filth.

Guan Yue had met him a couple of times.

During the first encounter, he had kind of lost it, giving Guan Yue a glimpse of his hot temper. However, he did exercise self-restraint when facing Xixi.

Later, he demonstrated the bearings of a refined gentleman. He was the manifestation of a man of honor.

Nevertheless, her opinion of him went out the window following his attitude towards the Su family. Fu Qingxuan was gallant, sarcastic, and cutthroat as though the Su family killed his family.

Perhaps he was reckless and bossy because no one could recognize him from his disguise.

Fu Qingxuan held the program and ran his eyes again and again.

Taking another look at him, Guan Yue stopped engaging in conversation with Fu Qingxuan. It would only stir unwanted trouble if his identity was exposed.

Su Ruowan could not take her eyes away from Fu Qingxuan. Now that she had caught his eye, what should she do next to take him down?

The observer that she was, Guan Yue had noticed Su Ruowan setting her sights on Fu Qingxuan.

Guan Yue had always known that Su Ruowan was one to play games. Su Ruowan deliberately manipulated the earlier scene to attract Fu Qingxuan’s attention.

If Su Ruowan thought Fu Qingxuan would be blown away and go from picking fights to falling in love with her, she had another thing coming.

What a joke. Fu Qingxuan had nothing but animosity towards hers. Su Ruowan was in over her head to be in denial and twist the fact, believing that Fu Qingxuan actually cared for her.

Li Jingran was itching to find out who Shu Baiyu’s substitute was. Who could it be? She did not mind as long as it was not Shen Xi. Li Jingran did not want to bear witness to Shen Xi, the d*mn brat succeeding in life. The thought of it drove her mad.

On stage.

One performance ended one after another.

Every dance was performed to the highest standard, bringing pleasure and joy to the body and mind of the audience. The audience was lost in the magnificent performances.

At last.

It was Flower Fairy’s turn.

Flower petals started descending on the surreal and beautiful stage, giving an illusion of little fairies dancing around it.

The moment the dancer appeared.

Su Yi’s eyes lit up as he excitedly exclaimed in a hushed manner, “Honey, it’s Xixi.”

With her eyes turning gloomy, Li Jingran hummed in acknowledgment. She was not blind. Of course, she could see her.

Why was he happy when Shen Xi, the brat, treated him and the Su family nastily? Men were disgusting.

Su Ruowan freaked out to see Shen Xi appear on stage.

Her first reaction was to look at Fu Qingxuan and that was when Su Ruowan realized that the man had removed his sunglasses. His gentle eyes focused intently on the person on stage as though Shen Xi took his breath away.
