Chapter 110: Cool To Have Someone Backing

Jiang Xuecheng stood in the middle of the crowd in his Western suit and leather shoes. His good-looking eyes emitted innate tyranny, easily sweeping everyone’s vision away.

Su Wan stared at Jiang Xuecheng and remained silent. She merely smiled. Her initial agitation caused by Su Yurou’s acting instantly died down.

He stood out from the crowd and looked steadily forward while he walked towards Su Wan. His tall figure made him look like a noble god from heaven, making one wish to bow down to him.

Nobody talked anymore but their eyes kept darting between Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan.

What did he mean when he said, “How dare you touch her?”

Did Su Wan really have an unclear relationship with the CEO of Di Chen Group?

Everyone was guessing in their hearts but nobody dared to say it openly.

At that moment, Jiang Xucheng added, “She’s an employee under Di Chen Group. Without a proper reason, what right do you have to chase her out?”

His voice was cold but magnetic and it captured the hearts of the people all at once.

Everyone awoke that instant and they seemed to have guessed in the wrong direction. Jiang Xuecheng was indeed a person who would shield a shortcoming or fault. Weren’t the ones trying to chase Su Wan away slapping Di Chen Group in its face?

They heard Su Wan was the deputy director of Long Teng International’s planning department. Since Jiang Xuecheng had brought her here personally tonight, Su Wan must be one of the presenters in the tender meeting.

How could the arrogant Jiang Xuecheng allow Su Wan to be chased out now?

Seeing the situation reversing, Su Yurou’s heart shook. Jiang Xuecheng had defended and protected Su Wan. No, no, no, she wanted to ruin Su Wan’s reputation completely in the upper circle today. This was a good opportunity she did not want to miss.

Su Yurou stood up anxiously and probably wanted to appear weak, she almost fell to the ground again.

She caught hold of Gu Zihang and stared at Jiang Xuecheng with tears in her eyes. Her gentle but pale face showed a sense of pleading.

“Young Master, Wan is my cousin sister and if it’s not the last resort, I wish to protect her too. However, she had treated me cruelly today and I had no choice but…”

As she spoke, her face was sad and showed a sense of suffering. She appeared to be struggling painfully whether to continue speaking.

Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face was indifferent, as if he had not seen Su Yurou’s pitiful face. He raised his brows and started to ask questions.

“You said she treated you cruelly. Besides the two of you, who else saw it?”

Jiang Xuecheng’s voice was cold, sharp, stern, and imposing.

Upon hearing this, the smile in Su Wan’s eyes deepened. It was really cool to have someone backing her.

The onlookers couldn’t help frowning…

Guests who attended today’s charity dinner were all respected people. Who would be willing to splash liquid hand soap on herself to frame another person?

People in the upper social class placed importance in pride. If someone were to lose his or her pride tonight, he or she would become the laughing stock in the circle the next morning.

If Su Yurou wanted to use this extreme method to frame Su Wan, it was not worth her effort.

When the onlookers saw Su Yurou’s haggard pale face and weak voice, they felt that Jiang Xuecheng was over-protective.

After hearing what Jiang Xuecheng said, Su Yurou’s eyes emitted fear.

She feared Jiang Xuecheng’s aura and she knew Su Wan’s importance toward Di Chen Group in tonight’s tender meeting. Theoretically, she should back off but she didn’t want to!

Su Yurou held onto Gu Zihang’s outer coat tightly and her whole body was trembling.

“Young Master, no one had seen it…but I can swear by the heavens that I did not lie! Su Wan really splashed the liquid hand soap on me!”

Gu Zihang, who was standing beside Su Yurou, said indignantly, “Mr. Jiang, even if no one witnessed it, could it prove that Su Wan did not do it? You are biased toward your subordinate and this cannot convince everyone!”

Jiang Xuecheng swept across Gu Zihang with his deep eyes and his voice was slightly impatient.

“So what?”

Convincing others didn’t have anything to do with him, did it?

Seeing the heated argument leading to no result, the mayor of S City, Meng Bin, stood out.

“Alright, today’s highlight is the charity dinner and tender meeting. Could everyone give me some face and be amiable to one another?”

Then, Meng Bin looked at Su Yurou. His look was temperate but there was warning in his eyes.

“This is a misunderstanding. When this incident happened, I was outside the washroom. It was an accident where the liquid hand soap bottle was spilled, how could this be blamed on Su Wan?”

As he spoke, Meng Bin’s eyes swept across the messy gown covered by the outer coat. He then added faintly, “If Miss Su Yurou feels aggrieved, you may ask for a monetary compensation for the gown. What do you think?”

Just a monetary compensation for the gown to settle this dispute?

Upon hearing this, Su Yurou felt forlorn and bitter. At that moment, she knew all odds were stacked against her.

No, no, no, even if this was the case, she had to continue feigning, for at least she could gain the other guests’ favorable impression of her.

At the thought of this, she started sobbing softly, as if suppressing her cries. Her gentle voice had now turned hoarse.

Everyone shook their heads and their sympathy toward Su Yurou grew.

No matter what the truth was, Su Yurou was indeed pitiful compared to her little sister who was arrogant!

Watching this scene, Su Wan’s fists clenched tightly.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes and a dim light flashed through her eyes. Although she despised and was full of disdain for Su Yurou, she had to admire Su Yurou’s slyness.

Looking at the current situation, she seemed to have won but in the eyes of everyone, she was at fault.

Su Wan had experienced this kind of hidden loss in the past.

For example, when they were young, Su Yurou would go over to her house during holidays. Then, money would bafflingly disappear in her house or some expensive goods would be spoiled.

When the seniors queried, Su Wan would try her best to clarify that it was not her doing but Su Yurou would always plead and apologize with a sad face on her behalf, saying that her little sister was still young and asking that they do not punish her too seriously.

Su Yurou had never accused her but just by simply saying these few words, the seniors had confirmed it was Su Wan’s doing.

Then, she would be punished to kneel or have her pocket money for the week taken away.

At the time, Su Wan did not understand why her parents punished her when she was obedient.

However, now, Su Wan could not be bothered to explain. When facing a person like Su Yurou, the more one explained, the more one would fall into her trap. Hitting her directly would probably be more joyful.

Jiang Xuecheng turned and sensed Su Wan’s exhaustion in her heart. He looked at Meng Bin and asked, “How much longer will it be before the tender meeting begins?”

Meng Bin was slightly taken aback. The charity dinner was half way through and there were other follow up programs later.

However, what the young master implied was to bring forward the tender meeting…
