Chapter 161 Climbing a high branch
"No, this is our first private gathering. Given his current status, he probably won't do anything to me. I just want to meet him as a friend."
"It's not easy to be friends with someone of his status, so why not let me help you."
"I want to find out the truth myself. I don't believe that this matter has nothing to do with him."
Xin Suyan looked at Suzheng with confidence.
In the evening, Fu Yinuo asked Si Jin about Su Zheng's private room;
Ordered one next to them.
"Yinuo, I've made an appointment with a friend you know, do you mind playing together tonight?"
Si Jin shook his wine glass and crossed his legs;
Huo Rongtin slowly opened the door and sat next to Si Jin.
"Why are you here too?"
Fu Yinuo subconsciously pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looking displeased.
"My sister wants to make friends, so of course I'll be her protector like you."
Huo Rongtin and Si Jin clinked glasses.
"Yinuo, I'm sorry. He was right next to me when you asked me for help, so he happened to hear it."
Si Jin raised his glass with a grin, wanting to clink glasses with him.
Fu Yinuo ignored him and sat closest to the door;
He leaned sideways, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped on the sounds coming from the private room next door.
"Lawyer Fu, I sent you the evidence that my father wanted to sue Xin Suyan for economic crimes. Have you read it? If we go to court, can we win?"
"I've looked at the information. At most, it's her dereliction of duty. The evidence of leaking company secrets and committing economic crimes is insufficient. We can't sue her."
"You can cancel the engagement without any worries."
Si Jin smiled and patted Huo Rongtin on the shoulder.
Fu Yinuo's heart tightened.
Did he agree to the marriage proposal just for Shin So-yeon?
"At most, I'm sure my dad can't threaten me. But the engagement can't be cancelled."
Huo Rongtin had a serious look on his face and was drinking whiskey by himself.
Fu Yinuo almost rolled his eyes to the sky.
The three of them fell silent when they heard some noise in the room.
Zhou Xu and Song Shujun also arrived.
Song Shujun became tense as soon as she saw Xin Suyan.
"Oh, you really know how to climb the social ladder. Where's your Huo Rongtian?"
"Huo Rongtian and I are now brother and sister. Before my father passed away, he adopted him as his godson. Isn't this something that everyone knows?"
Xin Suyan smiled casually and looked at Suzheng deliberately.
"Really? Everyone knows that your brother cheated on his brother. He regards your family as an enemy. How could he recognize a thief as his father?"
Song Shujun deliberately raised her voice in an attempt to provoke her.
Xin Suyan raised the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, saying, "Why don't you go down and ask my dad what he thinks?"
Song Shujun shook her body in anger: "Don't think I will believe you just because you are eloquent. Your father just died and you came here to flirt with others."
"Who was I having an affair with? Besides, everyone knows that Huo Rongtian abandoned me, and he plans to reveal my sister's identity at the engagement party. If you don't believe me, you can find out by watching the news. Anyway, the news about the Huo family is like buying a hot search. You can see it at any time if there is any movement."
Xin Suyan rolled her eyes nonchalantly.
When Huo Rongtin heard this next door, the corners of his mouth curled up.
The slender index finger tapped lightly on the cup.
Pondering secretly.
As the wine rolled down his throat, he plotted something in his mind.
"Yeah, now that no one wants you, you're flirting with other girls."
"I'm just learning from you, isn't it? To be social and upbeat."
Xin Suyan was not willing to be outdone.
Zhou Xu remained calm on the surface, shaking his wine glass absentmindedly;
Eyes secretly observing.
"Then you should learn from him. I have been invited by Mr. Huo to attend his brother's engagement party. I am afraid that if I go, I will laugh at you."
Song Shujun burst into laughter after she finished speaking.
Xin Suyan couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"President Su, I offer you a toast. I am now the general manager of Mingcheng. If Mingcheng causes any trouble for you in the future, please help take care of it."
"If you want my help, you have to pay."
Su Zheng lifted her chin with his finger and looked at her ambiguously.
The other hand wrapped around her slender waist, pulling her closer to him.
Xin Suyan couldn't help but shudder.
"What? Miss Xin is scared? This is not the way to ask someone to do something for you."
After saying this, his chest muscles tensed and his hormones surged.
The heaving chest slowly moved closer, ready to kiss.
Xin Suyan instinctively used both hands to resist the pressure on her chest: "President Su, I..."
"Su Zheng, Zhou Xu, long time no see."
Si Jin opened the door and walked in with a smile.
Following behind were the gloomy-faced Huo Rongtin and the expressionless Fu Yinuo.
"Hey, what's the matter that made Vice President Huo condescend to come to Ye Se?"
Zhou Xu, who had not said a word all night, finally spoke.
He even raised his voice deliberately.
Su Zheng immediately sat up straight, loosened his tie, and felt a little disappointed.
It was almost a kiss.
Huo Rongtin's eyes were cold and intimidating, and it was obvious that he had come to question him about something.
"We are all friends, let's get to know each other and have fun together."
"What friend? Mr. Si, please stop humiliating me?"
Song Shujun leaned against Zhou Xu in frustration and said, "We are friends, but you still want to kick me out of Hejun? You don't care about our relationship at all."
"You know exactly what you have done. It seems that you haven't been taught enough lessons, which is why you have climbed the social ladder so quickly."
Huo Rongtin deliberately used Xin Suyan's words just now to confront her.
Song Shujun stroked her hair awkwardly;
It seems that what she just said;
Huo Rongtin heard it all.
"Vice President Huo, where is your fiancée? Why don't you bring her with you? As for Xin Suyan, wherever she is, you are there."
Song Shujun deliberately brought up something irrelevant and rolled her eyes at Xin Suyan after saying that.
Huo Rongtin ignored her.
She quickly crawled to Fu Yinuo's side and said, "Fu Lu, you never come to this kind of place. Why are you here to play today?"
Fu Yinuo said nothing and pulled her hand away.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
"What were you guys playing? How about we play dice?"
Just as the atmosphere was about to become dull, Si Jin played a role in warming up the atmosphere.
Several people took turns shaking the dice cup.
I don’t know if it’s just bad luck that even heaven can’t stop it.
I lost several rounds in a row and had to drink five cups in a row.
It seemed that the bottle of foreign liquor was about to be finished by her.
Fu Yinuo felt distressed and blocked the wine.
"Yinuo, give Suyan a chance. You know that Dean Su is very busy. He finally comes out once, so he must have fun."
"Okay, Zhou Xu, if you want to play, you can ask a lady to drink with you. Su Yan doesn't drink."
Fu Yinuo snatched the half remaining glass of wine from her hand.
"I'll help her drink."
After saying that, he drank the remaining half cup.
"Master, I'm fine. I can do it myself. As long as Dean Su is happy. Today, I just want to make friends with Dean Su. I wonder if Dean Su will give me this face."
After saying that, he picked up the empty glass and continued pouring wine.
The body is shaking and the steps are unsteady.
Huo Rongtin secretly reached out to support him.
Xin Suyan stretched out her arm and passed the wine to Su Zheng's chest: "President Su, I want to say something to you. If you consider me your friend, drink this glass."
