Chapter 1

It was night, Xiangjiang Banquet Hall.

The bright lights swayed in the voices of people, and the attendants holding wine glasses and snacks skillfully shuttled among the guests who were laughing and talking. The various fragrances intertwined in the air became stronger as the night went on.

Su Da stayed alone at the single round table, not moving around to socialize. The phone placed on the table with the silver handbag vibrated repeatedly. It was Tong Beibeis voice message:

"The photo of you entering the venue that was secretly taken was quite good-looking."

"Those bitches were blown away!"

"I laughed to death. They pretended to be indifferent while secretly being jealous. I couldnt help but feel uncomfortable even through the screen."

After listening to each of them, there were several screenshots of the chat records.

Su Da took a quick look and asked, "Why are you still in that fake group?"

Tong Beibei said, "I didnt leave because I was too lazy to leave. Its also good to see what they are doing."

Then he said excitedly, "The families of several of them asked someone to ask for an invitation to this banquet, but they didnt get it. Now they are watching you enter the venue. I dont know how they feel!"

Xiangjiang Banquet Hall is next to the river and has a great view. It is indeed a first-class golden location.

The host tonight is the eldest son of the real estate giant Cheng family. All the well-known people who are on good terms with him are here. There are so many people who want to squeeze into this banquet to make connections that they are so crowded that they break the door.

Su Da and the one from the He family attended the banquet together tonight. When the gossip came out, no one in their social circle believed it. However, when she entered the banquet, she was photographed by a busybody. When the photo spread, everyone who knew her was shocked.

"By the way." Tong Beibei changed the subject, "Has your old man made any move?"

"No. Even if he received the news, he probably wouldnt contact me so quickly."

"Then have you told He Yuan?"

Su Da paused, "Not yet."

"Not yet? Are you really waiting to be tied up and sent to get married by the old man? What kind of person does he choose? If you really marry him, your life will be over!"

Tong Beibei said excitedly, "The old man can block your exhibition now, forcing you into a dilemma. You may do something more outrageous in the future!"

Su Da certainly knew.

The old man is a man of his word. He only considers whether it is good for the Jiang family. Nothing else matters. When it comes to marriage, he asks her to marry someone she doesnt know at all, leaving no room for rebuttal.

As soon as she refused, the exhibition that was almost ready went wrong.

Before graduating, Su Da won several awards and signed a literary and artistic media company that ranks among the best in the industry. The painting and calligraphy agent in charge is experienced. Everything should have developed in a good direction.

Now the exhibition is stuck. Not only can she not get an explanation, but she will have to pay tens of millions if she takes the initiative to terminate the contract.

The curator and her agent apologized to her one after another, but the matter has been stuck there for more than a month and is still stranded.

In the final analysis, it is because of the old man. The Jiang family is just a middle-class family in the North City where the powerful are everywhere. It is indeed nothing, but it is still more than enough to deal with her.

Now the company and the old man have joined forces to delay her. Even if she can get enough money, the lawsuit will deliberately delay her for three to five years. She is restricted by the terms of the contract, and her career that is just about to start may be seriously damaged.

Tong Beibei asked: "You and He Yuan have been in Shanghai for a month, and you didnt mention it once? Are you stupid? Once He Yuan makes a move, your old man will just shut up... Oh, you are making me anxious!"

Su Da didnt answer for a long time.

She let out a breath, feeling a little annoyed. She replied vaguely, picked up the wine glass and drank the shaking champagne liquid, put the phone back into her handbag, and walked towards the bathroom.

Around the banquet hall, many eyes were secretly looking at her, half lingering on her graceful figure and beautiful face, and half because of her identity at the party.

All kinds of eyes followed her from the table until she disappeared into the hall, and no one dared to approach.

Su Da came out of the bathroom and was stopped by someone at the corner.

The middle-aged woman in the silver silk suit had fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but her skin was well maintained and very white. She was probably someones wife.

Su Da had never seen her before, so he paused and took a step back.

The woman followed him closer, "Miss, your last name is Su, right?"

"Who are you?" Su Da asked instead of answering.

"You probably dont know me. My name is Qian Xueqin, and my husband is the chairman of Lins Building Materials Company."

Su Da said nothing.

Qian Xueqin had a smile on her face, but her eyes were a little sad and anxious: "Its like this, our company originally cooperated with a subsidiary of Hes, and some misunderstandings occurred in the middle, which led to the suspension of the project... My husband has been bedridden for a long time, and now only my daughter and I are supporting it. If the company has problems, it will be like killing us. Miss Su, you are also a woman, you can definitely understand this feeling..."

The more he talked, the more he deviated, and Su Da had to interrupt: "What do you want to say?"

Qian Xueqins face flashed a complicated look, and she said awkwardly: "I came here today just to see Mr. He, but... Miss Su, can you help me introduce him?"

Most of the people who came tonight, whether they were invited directly or found ways to get the invitation letter, wanted to take the opportunity to contact Mr. Cheng and his circle of people.

Its a thought, but its not so easy to realize. Except for Mr. Cheng who showed up from time to time to entertain guests, the others who were on good terms with him went to the inner guest box after a circle of dealings.

Su Da had accompanied He Yuan to meet someone in the banquet hall before. When they went into the private room to talk, He Yuan let her move freely outside.

That was a good plan.

Since he couldnt see He Yuan, he found her as a stepping stone.

"Miss Su..."

"Im sorry." Without waiting for Qian Xueqin to say anything else, Su Da apologized, "You found the wrong person. Its not convenient for me to interfere in these matters."

What kind of family is the He family? How could others interfere in the affairs of the He family? Even if she was He Yuans female companion, there was absolutely no reason for her to do such a thing.

"Just tell Mr. He! Ill see him once!"

"Sorry." Su Da still refused and said as she was about to leave.

"Miss Su——" Qian Xueqin hurriedly grabbed her wrist.

Su Da subconsciously avoided her, and Qian Xueqin was unstable and staggered slightly. Su Da wanted to help her when he saw this, but just when he stretched out his hand halfway, a figure rushed out from the side.

"Mom!"

Lin Xinrou came with her mother Qian Xueqin. She was originally told not to worry and to wait on the side. Seeing her mother and Su Da seemed to be pulling each other, she immediately couldnt help but rush over to help, "Mom, are you okay?"

Qian Xueqin took her daughters hand and shook her head, "Its okay."

Su Da saw her standing still, his eyes narrowed slightly, but the next second, Lin Xinrou glared at her angrily.

"Why are you like this?"

"..." Su Da couldnt help but frown. Whats wrong with her?

Lin Xinrous graceful face, which was somewhat similar to Qian Xueqins, was filled with resentment, "My mother is old, and she has begged you so much, why are you so hard-hearted?!"

Su Da frowned: "Miss, please speak with some reason."

"Reason?" Lin Xinrou argued, "Its just a little effort, but you just watched her die..."

Qian Xueqin heard her impoliteness and hurriedly pulled her, "Rou Rou!" and took a step forward, "Miss Su, Im sorry. Dont take it to heart."

Lin Xinrou pulled Qian Xueqin back, "Mom, dont beg her!" She glanced at Su Da and sneered, "Its useless to beg her. Look at her like that. If He Yuan really values ​​her, would he leave her here alone? I dont think he takes her seriously."

Su Da was speechless for a moment. He was not angry because of being scolded, nor was he guilty, but was just shocked by her face.

First, it was moral kidnapping, and when the kidnapping failed, he turned around and sneered.

Shaking his head in his heart, not wanting to waste words with the mother and daughter, Su Da glanced at them lightly and walked past them.

Qian Xueqin took a step and wanted to chase her, but Lin Xinrou held her back.

"Let her go!"

"But its the companys business..." Qian Xueqins face was burning.

Lin Xinrou looked at Su Das receding back, gritted her teeth secretly, and couldnt help but tighten her hand holding Qian Xueqins wrist, "We dont ask her. Whats so great about her!"

Whats so great about her, isnt it just that she hooked up with He Yuan...

Who cant do it? !

After leaving the corridor outside the bathroom, Su Da stayed in the banquet hall for a while and went to the inner guest box to find He Yuan.

The heavy red-brown box door was closed tightly. When she approached, the assistant waiting on the sofa outside the door came over immediately.

"Miss Su."

Su Da stopped and glanced at the door.

Assistant Xu understood, "The gentleman wont come out so soon. He said if you are tired, go upstairs and rest first."

The International Hotel is upstairs from Xiangjiang Banquet Hall. For people like them, all major hotels have rooms ready all year round for them to stay when they go out for social events.

It seems that He Yuan is not going back tonight.

Su Da nodded without asking any more questions. Assistant Xu immediately led the way and escorted him attentively.

The elevator went directly to the top floor of the building. Assistant Xu sent people to the presidential suite and stopped his toes at the edge of the door. "I wont disturb your rest. Ill leave first."

Su Da stood at the entrance of the living room, waited for the door to close behind him, and sat down on the sofa.

After wearing high heels for several hours, the soles of his feet hurt.

Su Da kicked off his shoes and collapsed slightly. After returning to Beicheng for a few days, the familiar air and a bunch of messy things made his temples hurt when he thought about them.

He didnt sleep well these days. Su Da sat on the sofa for a while, his arms resting on the armrests, and fell asleep with his arms as a pillow.

The magnificent presidential suite was silent. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Su Da began to feel hot.

The heat did not last for a while, and it was accompanied by a heavy feeling of suffocation, which became heavier and heavier, making her a little breathless.

Su Da was awakened by the heat, moved, and opened her eyes uncomfortably. The head on her neck lifted up, and the pair of dark eyes came into her sight, and she was stunned.

"Awake?"

He Yuan pressed her down, his voice deep.

His posture... No wonder she felt stuffy.

There was no wrinkle on He Yuans formal suit, and his tie was as neat and meticulous as it was at the beginning of the banquet, but there was a faint smell of alcohol on him, his eyes were dark and dark, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be reddened by alcohol.

Before Su Da could speak, He Yuans eyes became heavier, and he pinched her chin without saying anything, lowered his head and covered her lips, and opened his mouth to invade.

"I havent taken a shower yet..."

Su Da quickly interrupted during the breathing gap.

He Yuan locked her hand against her chest and pushed it towards her head, "Wash it later."

His voice was unquestionable and extremely low.

...

Su Da lay on the snow-white velvet pillow for a long time, and finally recovered, wrapped in the sheets and slowly sat up. Her body was aching slightly, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower, and finally felt better.

After taking a shower, he put on his pajamas and went to the study of the presidential suite.

Su Da went outside the study, knocked twice and opened the door. The white pajamas were not tightly closed, and there was a slight gap under the hem. Her well-proportioned and slender legs were particularly white.

He Yuan, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the notebook with a solemn face. He looked at her when he heard the voice, and his eyes, which had long since recovered their clarity, did not fluctuate at all.

Su Da hesitated at the door: "Tonight..."

"I have something else to deal with. Ill ask the driver to take you back." He Yuan glanced at her calmly and retracted his gaze.

Su Da was silent for a few seconds, then said softly: "...Okay."

Seeing that she stood there, He Yuan frowned, "Anything else?"

Su Da pursed his lips and finally shook his head, "Nothing."

He said no more and said, "Go out and close the door."

He closed the door gently.

Su Da stood there for a long time without moving, and forgot to walk.

After more than a month together, He Yuan never asked her to stay overnight, and he always sent her home after finishing his business.

Tong Beibei said she was stupid, saying that she had a lot of urgent things to do, but she didnt mention it to He Yuan.

She knew it.

However, their interactions were always in bed, and only at that time would they communicate.

There were so many beautiful women who wanted to hook him that they couldnt count them.

He Yuan gave her the title of "girlfriend", which seemed so rare to others.

But compared to her, this title was more like an affirmation of her body.
