Meng Bin frowned as he looked at the two ladies in the washroom. Coincidently, he knew both of them but he had seen one of them earlier on and he had seen the other behind the young master this evening.
Su Wan’s smile was gentle and her gown was tidy. Compared to her, Su Yurou was in a bad state. If she were to go out now, many would not be able to recognize her as Su Yurou, the dazzling young missy of Sheng Yuan Group.
When Meng Bin did not utter a single word, Su Yurou made up her mind. She knew it was not sufficient for her to just cry. She tugged her single strap gown slightly to show her fair peaks which were not stained with liquid hand soap.
“Mr. Mayor, I’m pitiful. Why don’t you drag this crazy woman out?”
When Meng Bin saw Su Yurou tugging the strap on her gown on purpose, the creases on his forehead deepened. He ignored Su Yurou and nodded at Su Wan.
“I heard from outside. Su Wan was kind enough to help you wipe your face. Why are you making a countercharge?”
Surprise flashed through Su Wan’s eyes very quickly when Meng Bin defended her without question and without hesitance.
The lie she came up with was not actually brilliant. She would not be surprised if people did not believe it.
Anyway, she merely wanted to find an excuse because Su Yurou was not the only person who could pretend, she could too. She would not allow Su Yurou to utter slander against her without giving it back to Su Yurou.
When Meng Bin defended Su Wan, Su Yurou could no longer take it. She felt everything in front of her had turned black.
“That’s a lie she made up. Mr. Mayor, please don’t believe her! Look at me, Su Wan splashed me with the liquid hand soap!”
Su Yurou was so angry that she stamped her feet. She shook her head frantically and couldn’t bother to act like a lady.
With detest, Meng Bin’s eyes swept across Su Yurou, who was looking like a dancing demon, and said, “Since both of you are cousins, this is a family matter. Please settle this among yourselves.”
“Mr. Mayor, I…”
Su Yurou widened her eyes in disbelief. Feeling disgusted, Meng Bin left without even going to the toilet.
Wasn’t Meng Bin a man of justice? Why was he biased towards Su Wan?
Su Yurou flared up in fury and scolded Su Wan.
“Su Wan, you shameless b*tch…”
Su Wan caught Su Yurou’s other hand.
Su Wan smirked and her smile was as cold as a knife.
“Su Yurou, you’d better watch your mouth. Mr. Mayor has not gone far and unless you don’t mind your image declining, you should really think twice about scolding me.”
What Lin Fei’er said might be true, that she had been with Jiang Xuecheng for quite some time and now had a little of his temperament.
Then, Su Wan went closer to Su Yurou’s unkempt cheeks and said with a calm tone, “It may be better if you scold loudly. When everyone hears your voice, they’ll all come and look at you.”
“No!”
At the thought of her unkempt appearance meeting everyone’s eyes, Su Yurou’s expression changed drastically, even if it was only a thought. Unconsciously, she let out a sharp cry.
True enough, pride was carved deeply in Su Yurou’s bones…
Su Wan’s eyes swept across the flurried Su Yurou. She sneered and started walking out of the washroom. “Since you don’t wish to, you’d better clean yourself up properly!”
When she saw Su Wan leaving, Su Yurou clenched her fists tightly. The hatred in her had spread to her limbs and bones.
She swore that she would reciprocate whatever pain Su Wan added to her today!
With this belief, Su Yurou suppressed the grievance in her heart forcibly and started to clean herself up as she faced the mirror.
She put forth lots of effort to wipe off the stains on her face and hair but her beautiful and expensive gown was totally ruined…
When Su Wan returned to the hall calmly, Jiang Xuecheng could feel his wife’s current good mood even from ten meters away.
Although he did not know of what had happened, Jiang Xuecheng winked smilingly at Su Wan.
Su Wan smiled and nodded her head calmly. After seeing him, she was more relaxed. Just now, she had no fear probably because she had him behind her.
What was there to be afraid of? Jiang Xuecheng said he would protect her.
Both of them were quite a distance away. After Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng exchanged glances, both of them sat down calmly. No one noticed the subtle interaction between them.
Su Wan sat at the original secluded corner and took another glass of fruit juice for herself before the second trouble came looking for her.
“Why is Yurou not back yet?”
Gu Zihang stood in front of Su Wan. His tall figure was like a wall, instantly casting a shadow in front of Su Wan.
“Why are you asking me?”
Su Wan shot a glance at Gu Zihang impatiently. In the past, when she saw this man, her heart would jump with joy but now, there was only loathing.
“If you wish to know, you should go to the washroom.”
Gu Zihang was silent for a while and his eyes were fixed on Su Wan. Unconsciously, he grabbed Su Wan’s hand and said, “Go with me.”
Was Gu Zihang dumb? Did he think she was still infatuated with him like she had been as a little girl?
With disbelief, Su Wan saw Gu Zihang catching her hand. The abhorrence in her eyes grew and she brushed Gu Zihang’s hand off hers.
“We are now strangers. Mr. Gu, please mind your words and actions.”
Gu Zihang withdrew his hand and realized that times had changed and he had lost the right to hold her hand.
This Su Wan was not the little girl who once agreed to everything he said and did anymore.
When he recalled Su Wan’s cheerful smile when she entered the hall, Gu Zihang then realized that Su Yurou might be in an unfavorable situation.
“Wan, did you do something to Yurou?”
Su Wan felt disgusted being addressed intimately by a man she despised, a feeling she never had in the past.
She raised her brows and sneered coldly, “Mr. Gu, I said we are strangers. Don’t call me Wan. I said if you want to look for her, you may go to the washroom.”
The more Su Wan said, the more Gu Zihang felt anxious. What had happened to Su Yurou? Why hadn’t she returned?
Gu Zihang’s brows knitted slightly and finally decided to look for his current fiancée.
When he turned around, he heard someone whispering, “Did you see how pathetic the young missy of Sheng Yuan Group looks…”
“That’s right, how did she get into that mess…”
Gu Zihang looked following the direction of the sound and saw a woman who was all wet with sticky hair dashing toward him. Her gown was dirty and messy!
