Chapter 122: Looking ugly but wanting to be beautiful
Seeing this result, Han Xin's face showed a trace of confusion and dissatisfaction. "How about changing to something more special? Although this white jade is not bad, this Dushan stone..."
There was a hint of hesitation and confusion in her voice, as if she was worried that the gift was not enough to express her feelings or that her friend was really satisfied with her choice.
"No no no!"
Su Yuan couldn't wait to refute, "Even if they seem ordinary, once you value and collect them, it means they must have something extraordinary."
Her tone was extremely firm, and her eyes were shining with sincerity and persistence.
In her opinion, anything selected by a friend has its unique meaning, and this trust is far more precious than the object itself.
In desperation, Han Xin could only threaten him half-heartedly, "If you regret it in the future and want to return it, don't blame me for not warning you!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them couldn't help but smile at each other.
In fact, such jokes are more like an intimate expression of tacit understanding between the two people.
In response, Su Yuan just chuckled and shook her head: "Don't worry, this will never happen. Unless you are reluctant to give it out for some reason?"
Behind her joking words was her confidence in the deep feelings between them, and she believed that no matter what changes happened in the future, the foundation of their friendship would not be shaken.
"That's bullshit, I'm not that stingy!"
Han Xin pretended to be angry and pretended to cover his friend's mouth.
Afterwards, the two began to play around, spending a happy and short time in laughter...
Happy times are always fleeting, but the memories left behind are enough to warm all the lonely moments in the long years.
Soon, after a series of preparatory work was completed, Mrs. Wu’s birthday banquet officially began.
After taking a deep breath, Su Yuan said, "Let's go. Perhaps we have more things to deal with tonight."
At this moment, the air is filled with the tension brought by the upcoming important event, but also with a sense of anticipation.
On the side, Yang Sheng looked a little restrained in his new suit.
“I’m not used to it.”
He twisted his body slightly, trying to make himself look more natural.
He was usually used to wearing casual clothes, so he felt a little embarrassed in formal attire.
Su Yuan shrugged to show her understanding. "Even if it's uncomfortable, you have to persevere. After all, this is the etiquette required for a dinner party. How about I try to customize some traditional Chinese clothing for you next time?"
Her suggestions are thoughtful and considerate, hoping that friends can enjoy the charm of traditional aesthetics while reducing the discomfort caused by clothing.
Soon after receiving a positive response, they arrived at the door of their destination.
Although there was a smile on his face, those who knew the matter understood that it was just a superficial courtesy.
"Xiao Yuan is finally here!"
The owner with eye problems leaned over the second-floor railing to welcome them.
Although his expression was full of enthusiasm, it could not help but reveal a sense of using any means to achieve his goals.
While walking quickly forward to greet them, he also did not forget to praise the gifts that the other party brought with them.
However, facing the true intention hidden behind this false enthusiasm, Su Yuan felt disheartened at this moment.
"I wish you good health and a long life."
She tried to keep her voice calm and polite.
Although the other party was a little surprised, he immediately adjusted his attitude and resumed his usual hospitality.
"Why spend so much money? I'm so sorry."
Mrs. Wu spoke in a gentle tone, and on the surface she still looked kind and friendly, but her insincerity was evident in her words.
Su Yuan deliberately changed the subject to a more obvious hint: "Madam, you are too kind. As a guest, I should just observe the corresponding etiquette."
There was a subtle hint of sarcasm in her tone, as if she was suggesting that Mrs. Wu should not go to such lengths.
But Mrs. Wu still pretended not to understand what Su Yuan meant, and forced a smile on her face, which seemed a little unnatural.
She reached out and tried to hold Su Yuan's hand, as if to show that they had a good relationship.
However, at this moment, Su Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced to the side.
She happened to see a waiter passing by with a tray of various drinks on it, among which a glass of orange juice caught her attention.
So she deftly picked up the glass of juice from the tray, leaving Mrs. Wu's hand hanging awkwardly in the air.
Mrs. Wu's plan failed. She first showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then revealed obvious unwillingness.
But she quickly concealed her emotion, then complained in a distressed tone, "Hey, you young people always like to play tricks on each other. When Yue'er came back a few days ago, he was still talking about what you like."
Su Yuan understood very well in his heart that this lady probably just realized in the past few days that she wanted to know what she liked.
It can be seen that he did not take himself seriously at that time, but now he wants to win me over with some superficial enthusiasm.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan raised a meaningful smile and said in a light tone: "Really? It seems that Wu Fan is just being sentimental."
This sentence made Mrs. Wu's face change suddenly, and she was obviously blocked and speechless.
All I heard was her snorting angrily, curling her lips, then she made up an excuse and turned around and left the scene.
Su Yuan watched her figure disappear in the crowd quietly, and couldn't help but fall into thought.
There must be some ulterior motive behind Mrs. Wu's initiative to approach him this time.
What was even more unexpected to her was that perhaps in the eyes of the Wu family, she was just a naive girl who was easily deceived, and she thought that she could easily win her heart as long as she showed a little concern.
The banquet held today to celebrate the old man's birthday was extremely grand in scale, with a large number of guests and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and lively.
Su Yuan drank the drink in her hand in one gulp, then turned to the person beside her and asked nonchalantly, "Has Wu Fan not suffered the consequences of his actions?"
Yang Sheng remained silent and did not directly respond to her question.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Su Yuan, I just heard my mom say you were drinking alone here. Did you miss me a lot?"
You don't need to look back to know who has arrived.
Sure enough, Wu Fan walked quickly to them with excitement on his face.
But his joy instantly vanished when he saw Yang Sheng standing beside him. "Why are you with another man?"
In shock and anger, he almost blurted out the blame for Su Yuan.
Faced with such a situation, Su Yuan did not answer immediately. Instead, he decisively took a step back and handed over the task of facing the enemy head-on to Yang Sheng, who had already prepared for the provocation.
The gloom on Wu Fan's face completely destroyed his originally handsome appearance, making his facial lines appear particularly tight and stiff.
He stared at Yang Sheng with malicious eyes, and asked in a strange voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Who are you?"
