Chapter 5: A Soft Knife Is Comfortable

Su Yan admired the stunned faces of the Su family for a while, especially the man who cared about his face the most. Her mood instantly became much better. She thanked Miss Ruan for her invitation and left the clothes behind before heading upstairs.

Although no one said why Miss Ruan and the rest came, Su Yan knew that it must be arranged by that man. Just like in her previous life, Shi Qing would always take her to heart regardless of the big or small matters, taking care of her and preventing anyone from bullying her.

Before she could think further, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was indeed Shi Qing.

“So soon? Has Ruan Meng left?” A clean and pleasant voice rang in Su Yan’s ears.

A thin layer of red appeared on Su Yan’s face. She smiled and said, “Yes, she left. Thank you for your clothes. I’m very happy.”

The joy of being taken to heart.

The person on the other end seemed to be talking to someone. After a while, he asked, “Why aren’t you attending Yun Shang’s Fashion Week?”

“I don’t want to be with someone I hate.”

Shi Qing seemed a little helpless and chuckled. “You.”

After a while, he asked again, “There’s a party tomorrow night that I was invited to. Do you want to join me?”

Su Yan readily agreed. “Of course. After all, you are my fiancé.”

Later, Su Yan happily tried on her clothes and decided on her outfit for the next day. Satisfied, she fell asleep.

On the other hand, the three Su family members were not very fortunate. Although the Su family was wealthy, they could only touch the edge of upper-class society. It was evident that the seats at this fashion show were not good.

Not only were their seats not good, but the three Su family members also had ugly expressions because of Su Yan. After being ruthlessly mocked by the people around them, they lost face.

In fact, they hadn’t even watched half of the show before being chased out by the person in charge. And it was for a ridiculous reason: they had watched for so long yet did not spend money to buy clothes.

When the three of them returned home with a bellyful of anger, they heard the nanny say that Su Yan had already fallen asleep. They were even more furious.

The next morning, Su Yan woke up after a good night’s sleep. She looked at her flawless face in the mirror and couldn’t help but sneer. Wasn’t Su Qian jealous of her? She might as well make Su Qian even more jealous.

So, when Su Qian appeared in the living room with two dark circles under her eyes, she saw Su Yan wearing some makeup. Su Yan was sitting in the living room watching television. Her slightly young face had a light layer of makeup on it. It did not seem out of place but highlighted Su Yan’s features.

Su Qian was even more furious. She gritted her teeth and greeted Su Yan with a smile.

Su Yan also smiled back. “Looking at your radiant face, I can tell that you enjoyed the show last night and bought quite a lot of clothes, right? You have to perform well at tonight’s banquet. After all, this is the first time you’ve appeared in front of everyone since you returned to the Su family.”

Wasn’t she just pretending to be magnanimous? Who wouldn’t?

“A banquet?” Su Qian was stunned. What banquet? Why hadn’t she heard of it before?

Su Yan seemed to have just remembered something. She suddenly slapped her head. “Look at my memory. I forgot. Sister, you just returned to the Su family. I don’t think you have any good friends. It’s normal that you don’t know there’s a banquet tonight.”

After speaking, she stood up and left. When she thought back to Su Qian’s flushed face, Su Yan felt a sense of satisfaction. As expected, revenge needed to be taken with a soft knife. One cut after another was needed to obtain continuous happiness.

The Huo family was the one who led the dinner party. Under the guise of charity, they were exchanging toasts to get to know each other and reach business agreements.

In the end, Su Qian managed to convince her parents to bring her to the banquet. Stepping on the expensive and soft carpet, Su Qian admired the beautiful hall without blinking.

This was a manor that the Huo family used to hold banquets, so the facilities were naturally extremely luxurious. Su Qian felt a little overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Su Qian saw a dazzling figure in the crowd. It was Huo Nan, the only heir of the Huo family. He was elegant and handsome. He stood among a group of handsome men and beautiful women.

“Mom, I… I want to go and greet Brother Huo Nan.” Su Qian shook Mother Su’s arm and softly voiced her request.

Mother Su was naturally happy to see Su Qian and Huo Nan dating. After a few words of encouragement, she smiled at Su Qian’s back.

Today, Su Qian was wearing a white dress with two straps on her shoulders. As Su Qian ran, she looked like a butterfly from afar.

Mother Su thought that if Huo Nan could fall in love with Qianqian, not only would Qianqian not have to worry for the rest of her life, but the Su family would also be able to soar into the skies with the Huo family.

“Brother Huo Nan.” Su Qian walked up to Huo Nan with a shy smile.

Huo Nan nodded at Su Qian. He had a very good impression of Su Yan, as she looked pure and innocent. “Qianqian is here too.”

Su Qian’s eyes curved into crescents. At first glance, she appeared completely guileless. “I came to attend Uncle Huo’s banquet, so of course I have to greet Brother Huo Nan. Brother Huo Nan, where’s my sister? She went out early today to prepare for tonight’s banquet.”

Huo Nan’s expression brightened. “Did Xiao Yan really say that?”

Su Yan was quite a show-off. She was pretty and sensible. Huo Nan had been chasing Su Yan for a few months. Now that Su Yan was finally showing signs of softening, how could Huo Nan be unhappy?
