Chapter 5 - Dust in Her Eyes
"Really?" "It's great that the Yu Family can work with the Huo Family."
When it came to business cooperation, Huo Ting was overjoyed. While he was in the UK, he had heard his father mention that Yu Cen Ran was a top business person. If the two families could work together, he would definitely be able to accomplish something big.
Yu Cen Ran declined to comment.
Xue Yuwei tried to smooth things over. "You men hate it. A good banquet and whatever business you're talking about. Bring us here and listen to what you can't understand. It's boring and boring!"
"Miss Xue, you're too modest. You're Young Master Yu's good wife!" Huo Ting was still playing Tai Ji with Xue Yuwei when he heard her speak. "It's about cooperation."
As soon as Yu Cen Ran spoke, everyone held their breath and listened attentively.
In front of Yu Cen Ran, Huo Ting was even a little nervous.
Yu Cen Ran laughed, "If Young Master Huo wants to discuss business, it's not good outside."
"Young Master Yu is right, let's go in." Huo Ting said as he put his arm around South Bridge's shoulders. The four of them entered the house together.
The banquet was organized, and the ones with the most limelight were Huo Ting and Yu Cen Ran.
The two of them stood side by side, talking and laughing merrily. Yu Cen Ran was slightly taller than Huo Ting. She wore a well-tailored black suit, and her every move was elegant and reserved. What attracted more attention was the domineering aura that came naturally from her. Huo Ting was slightly inferior, but his affinity was great. He always had a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, gentle and refined.
Xue Yuwei looked at Yu Cen Ran, her eyes filled with love. She was glad that she was now Yu Cen Ran's fiancee.
The South Bridge glanced at Xue Yuwei, who walked towards her. She wanted to pull Zhan Xin to the side, but Xue Yuwei reached out a hand and pulled her away.
"South Bridge?"
As if worried that Nan Qiao had left, Xue Yuwei quickly said, "What's the rush? I have something to say to you."
Zhan Xin was not familiar with Xue Yuwei, so she reminded her in a low voice, "Be careful."
"Don't worry, I can handle it." South Bridge patted Zhan Xin's hand before turning around to look directly at Xue Yuwei.
Xue Yuwei sized up the South Bridge for a long time.
The oval face had delicate features. Both the smile and the non-smile were graceful, the nose straight and small, the lips full and rosy, and the South Bridge painted with light makeup. However, it gave off a feeling that it was always appropriate to wear light makeup. In the past, there were people who said that the South Bridge was born beautiful, but Xue Yuwei didn't believe them. Even if she saw Gu Qiuwei who was similar to the South Bridge, Xue Yuwei would still not be able to look at her with disdain.
Gu Qiao could only be considered beautiful, with a temperament that separated beauty from beauty. If Gu Qiao was a vase, then the first impression she gave people was that she was not a vase.
South Bridge didn't know how many times Xue Yuwei had thought about it. With a frown, she asked, "How long does Miss Xue plan on seeing me?"
"I'm sorry, but I feel that you are very much like an old man."
"Old people? I don't understand what kind of riddle Miss Xue is playing. " South Bridge no longer looked at her, and his gaze fell upon Huo Ting. Seeing Huo Ting smile back at him, his heart felt a little warmer.
Xue Yuwei naturally noticed the interaction between Huo Ting and the South Bridge. She changed the topic and said, "I hope you don't mind the matter of dancing with Young Master Huo just now."
"I don't mind. I do mind if Miss Xue doesn't call me Miss Nan. Is it because I'm very familiar with you before?"
The South Bridge had a calm and serene expression, not a single ripple, but it made people feel that she was very angry.
Xue Yuwei's expression changed as she smiled and said, "Miss Nan, you still say you're not angry, but your words are filled with jealousy."
"If you called me just to say this, then I'm sorry, excuse me."
"No, Miss Nan, since you don't mind opening the door like that, I'll just say it directly." I hope you stay away from my fiancé. "
He was being frank.
Wasn't her fiance that annoying Yu Cen Ran? If Xue Yuwei knew what had happened between Yu Cen Ran and the South Bridge, she would definitely be angered to death. "Your fiancé is a treasure in your eyes, but in my eyes, he's not even comparable to dust."
Xue Yuwei's smile gradually deepened. Her calculations were too accurate. Yu Cen Ran was currently standing behind the South Bridge. He had definitely heard the words spoken earlier.
Yu Cen Ran didn't realize that the South Bridge was so good at infuriating people. If he wasn't in front of her, he would definitely be scolded by her. Yu Cen Ran shook the red wine in her goblet. Not long after, she was pulled away by the other guests.
"Miss Nan misunderstood me again. I'm just reminding you, Young Master Yu is probably interested in you. You have to be careful."
Nanqiao didn't understand anymore. His fiancé was out in the open, yet he still needed his fiancee to remind him of someone else?
"Miss Xue, you're so generous." Nanqiao said in a lukewarm manner.
"He has a young lover outside who looks very much like her. I'm just worried that Young Master Yu will think of a way to take you away from Huo Ting and make you his forbidden daughter."
Forbidden?
What a terrifying phrase. The hatred the South Bridge felt for Yu Cen Ran increased even further, making her fidgety even as she looked at Xue Yuwei. She only coldly said, "Thank you for your reminder. You also take care of your fiance."
Huo Ting was sitting down to rest. He didn't seem very happy when he came over from the south bridge.
The waiter was holding a tray with glasses of red wine on it, serving the distinguished officials and nobles present. Unexpectedly, he turned around and stepped on South Bridge's skirt.
The south bridge suddenly fell forward.
Her long hair was loose, like a night elf lost in the forest, seductive yet pure.
Huo Ting stood up anxiously.
On the other hand, the South Bridge had already collapsed.
However …
The one who was under the South Bridge was actually Yu Cen Ran!
Xue Yuwei did not expect Yu Cen Ran to be surrounded by the crowd earlier. Other than constantly paying attention to the south bridge, it was very difficult for her to rush over at such a critical moment.
His speed was as fast as lightning.
"Are you alright?"
The one who spoke was Yu Cen Ran. One of his arms was around South Bridge's waist while the other was on the back of her head. He was afraid that she would hurt. His eyes were filled with tenderness and doting, and Nanqiao was in a daze. But soon, she came back to her senses. With a cold expression, she said, "Let go of me."
"You haven't said thank you." If he could, he would never let her go.
But was she determined to consider her boyfriend's feelings?
"Thank you." The South Bridge was putting on airs.
"Are you alright?" Huo Ting's voice came from above their heads. Nanqiao was truly embarrassed to death. He had been seen by Huo Ting twice along with Yu Cen Ran, and this time under the watchful eyes of everyone present!
Huo Ting held onto the South Bridge, wanting to pull Yu Cen Ran up. The latter stood up unhurriedly and said to Huo Ting, "Be careful next time."
It was unknown whether Yu Cen Ran was talking to Huo Ting or to Nanqiao, but Huo Ting couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong between Yu Cen Ran and Nanqiao.
