After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 39, You’ve Disappointed the Su Family Too Much!

「Brilliant Building.」

After Shen Fanyun parked the car, Su Xiyang slowly stepped out. Is this woman really treating me as her personal driver?

"Boss Su, please slow down. Be careful not to twist your ankle," Shen Fanyun reminded her, feigning kindness.

As expected, Su Xiyang just rolled her eyes at him.

Shen Fanyun smiled and looked around, spotting an especially conspicuous Bentley SUV. This newly launched, ultra-luxury vehicle was still a novelty in Hangcheng City, and many people would occasionally turn their heads to admire it.

Shen Fanyun was no stranger to this car; it was Xu Bingqing’s. He had seen it and even ridden in it just last night. In other words, Xu Bingqing is here today too?

"Foes are bound to cross paths," Shen Fanyun muttered.

Su Xiyang asked curiously, "What did you say?"

"It’s nothing." Shen Fanyun shook his head and then asked, "Shall we go in now?"

"Go in?" Su Xiyang sighed. If she actually had the influence to come and go freely from the Brilliant Building and drink with the big shots... wouldn’t that be as miraculous as her ancestors’ graves bellowing smoke?

The Brilliant Building was rumored to be a new office tower purchased by some super-tycoon from Capital City. Pretty much everyone who was anyone locally had come for today’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Those who couldn’t attend in person were simply tied up with other matters, like Han Feng’s father, who was currently on a research trip abroad and not in Hangcheng City.

A crowd was bustling outside the building. While it seemed lively, everyone was very orderly. The rows of chairs set up outside the entrance were for the less influential, minor wealthy families like theirs. To put it plainly, they were just there to fill the seats. Even so, a spot in the front row wasn’t something just anyone could get.

Su Xiyang was seated in the second row.

"The sun is scorching. Making my darling sit out here... what if her skin gets damaged?" Shen Fanyun was genuinely distressed. After all, he was quite fond of this beauty. If the sun made her skin rough, he would be the one suffering by extension.

Su Xiyang looked up. The temperature today was indeed outrageously high. If only I’d known to bring a sun hat.

"How about this? I’ll get you an invitation so you can wait inside," Shen Fanyun suggested.

As soon as he said this, Su Xiyang’s mouth fell open. Is this guy still half-asleep? Although she acknowledged Shen Fanyun’s capabilities, who were the people qualified to enter the Brilliant Building today? Weren’t they all figures who could command the wind and rain in Hangcheng City? Even a well-known local like Wang Laohu hadn’t managed to get a pass for the inner area.

What a pipe dream. Su Xiyang shook her head, not bothering to pay him any mind.

"Heh, some people these days have no shame, just running their mouths off. Anyone who didn’t know better would think they were some earth-shattering big shot," a familiar voice reached Su Xiyang’s ears.

Shen Fanyun looked over, the voice seeming vaguely familiar. After a moment of thought, he remembered. Her name was Gu Duo, wasn’t it? Not long ago, Su Xiyang had a confrontation with this young woman at the entrance of the Yunxiao Hotel. Thanks to his timely intervention, the crisis had been averted. According to Su Xiyang, the Su and Gu families were mortal enemies. As a result, she and Gu Duo were also at odds and were guaranteed to clash whenever they met.

"Su Xiyang, do you have any idea what the Su Family’s standing is?" Gu Duo mocked, staring at Su Xiyang with a smirk. "Even if everyone else here got an invitation, there’s no way your family could. You’re just a third-rate clan. You shouldn’t have even come to a place like this today. You’re just dragging down the status and prestige of the rest of us!"

Her sharp gaze swept around and naturally landed on Shen Fanyun. The next second, the young woman practically exploded.

"Long time no see," Shen Fanyun said with a smiling greeting.

"You bastard! I’ve been looking for you for ages, and now I’ve finally caught you!" Gu Duo snarled, baring her teeth.

Shen Fanyun feigned ignorance. "Looking for me? Have you fallen for my unparalleled beauty?"

"Get lost!" Gu Duo snapped. "Have you already forgotten the slap you gave me?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

So she’s here for revenge.

"Don’t think you’re untouchable just because you have some connection to the Yunxiao Hotel! Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, you won’t escape even if you grow wings!"

Not wanting to get entangled with Gu Duo, Su Xiyang told Shen Fanyun, "Let’s go sit down. Wasting time on people like her is meaningless."

"Heh, didn’t you just say you were going into the inner area? I’m still waiting to have my eyes opened! President Su, don’t leave! Let us small fry bask in your glory," Gu Duo pressed, her voice growing louder.

As Gu Duo’s voice amplified, Su Xiyang instantly became the center of attention, with gazes coming from all directions.

"Isn’t that the young lady from the Su Family?"

"My, since when did the Su Family become so formidable? Qualified to enter the inner area and hobnob with the super-elite?"

"Haha, if the Su Family really had that kind of pull, Old Master Su wouldn’t be a no-show today. To put it bluntly, he’s too ashamed. Look how far the once-great family has fallen!"

"Don’t be so quick to judge. Hasn’t Miss Su caught the eye of Young Master Wang Yanwen from the Wang Family? Who knows, maybe one day the Su Family will make a comeback and return to its peak!"

The crowd’s remarks flew back and forth, their gazes toward Su Xiyang anything but friendly. The mention of Young Master Wang Yanwen, in particular, was laced with deep sarcasm.

"Young Master Wang Yanwen? Haha," someone sneered. "Haven’t you all heard? He’s already engaged! A few days ago, his father sent him abroad on ’vacation’. Do you really think he would marry a girl from such a destitute family?"

"Hahaha! So, does that mean Old Master Su’s dream of marrying into wealth is completely shattered? Poor The Elder Su! He’s become a laughingstock in his old age!"

Wang Yanwen is engaged? Hearing this news, Su Xiyang felt neither surprise nor regret. Instead, she was completely relieved. That fat-headed, pimple-faced pig of a man... whoever liked him could marry him. She certainly couldn’t stomach it. Now that he was engaged, did that mean he would finally stop bothering her? This is great news!

"Young Master Wang Yanwen is brilliant and talented. Why would he ever fancy Su Xiyang? She’s good for nothing but her looks, and for a man of his caliber, beautiful women are the one thing he doesn’t lack." Gu Duo crossed her arms, savoring the sight of Su Xiyang’s fuming, embarrassed expression. Finally, a chance to humiliate you in public.

"Don’t associate me with Wang Yanwen. I have nothing to do with him, thank you," Su Xiyang corrected firmly.

Just then, Su Ziye also appeared on the scene.

Hearing the crowd’s disdainful and mocking discussion of his grandfather, Su Ziye’s anger flared. "Su Xiyang, what have you done now?! You’ve completely dragged the Su Family’s name through the mud! Can’t you just keep a low profile for once? Hmph! I’m definitely telling Grandfather when we get back. You are a massive disappointment to our family!"
