Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 300 - 313: As Gorgeous as the Clouds at Sunset
Who knew, Lu Shifeng’s next words were directed at Su Xingyu: "Come with me to see Grandfather."
The smile on Zhuang Heng’s face suddenly froze. She suddenly realized, what was the point of all her efforts to vie for the chief seat? Lu Shifeng didn’t care about that at all, he directly took Su Xingyu to meet his grandfather!
Who is close and who is distant is obvious at a glance.
As for Su Xingyu, who was a bit upset because Lu Shifeng asked her to give way, now found her attention diverted: "The... Chairman is here too?"
Thankfully, she almost slipped up.
Lu Shifeng gave her a glance: "Yes, he’s here."
Though he is the Crown Prince of Blade Group, the future heir, for now, he is just an Executive Director and President. The highest leader of the group, the Chairman, is his grandfather Lu Anguo. Although he has retired from direct management, he still shows up at occasions like the group’s annual meeting.
He extended his arm, signaling her to hold onto it.
Tonight, he wore a deep starry night black suit, the exquisite fabric and meticulous tailoring were immaculate. His figure was tall and his features stern, just a casual gesture or glance was enough to captivate people.
Su Xingyu reached out to hold onto him, her small face with delicate makeup, long black hair elegantly tied up, diamond earrings dangling gently, her neckline adorned with crystals. Her rose-colored satin gown flowed like piled clouds, enchanting and magnificent. The fishtail of the gown trailed behind her like a splendid koi, catching everyone’s attention as they walked towards the Chairman, causing people to frequently look back in admiration.
By the time they approached Chairman Mr. Lu, nearly half of the group’s people’s attention was drawn over.
"Xingyu looks stunning in that outfit," Anna exclaimed at the photography center, watching Lu Shifeng and Su Xingyu leave, she said to a colleague beside her, "No wonder Mr. Lu wanted her to wear it, it was to introduce her to the old Chairman, in such a grand manner, it’s not too much to be dressed like this."
Actually, she misunderstood. Lu Shifeng wasn’t introducing Su Xingyu to his family.
They were already family.
Nearby Anna, Zhuang Heng’s face was pale, but her eyes were gloomy as water.
She stared deeply in Su Xingyu’s direction, her hand secretly clenched at her side, wondering why that cheap woman could be introduced to Mr. Lu?! Why wasn’t it her, Zhuang Heng, standing next to Lu Shifeng?!
While she wasn’t paying attention, a colleague secretly tugged at Anna, who still wore an envious look while staring at Su Xingyu.
Anna finally snapped out of it and glanced anxiously at Zhuang Heng, not daring to say anything more.
How could she have forgotten? In so many annual meetings in past years, it was Zhuang Heng who accompanied Lu Shifeng. Several times Zhuang Heng even spoke with the old Chairman!
Everything changes...
Better not to touch Miss Zhuang’s sore spot.
The entire photography center fell into an eerie silence.
Zhuang Heng also noticed that everyone’s gaze towards her was not quite right, probably they were all laughing at her inside?!
She was annoyed, but helpless. Lu Shifeng took another woman to meet the elders, this kind of thing could only be comprehended, not expressed. She didn’t even have the opportunity to explain or defend herself. She just tried to act normal, sitting in the chief seat with the most graceful posture, but it felt like sitting on pins and needles—this seat was the one Lu Shifeng casually asked Su Xingyu to relinquish for her, and now it seemed like a joke!
Meanwhile, Su Xingyu was already exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Lu.
Today was a public occasion, and she needed to hide her identity, so she did not call him grandfather like at the old mansion, but used a very formal address: "Chairman."
Mr. Lu wore a dark Zhongshan suit, his gaze imposing yet containing a hint of kindness as he looked at her: "Have you been getting along well with Shifeng these days? Don’t be constrained."
Su Xingyu replied with a smile: "Good."
A very ordinary exchange, yet it dropped the jaws of the accompanying executives—
When had they ever seen Mr. Lu being so amiable to anyone?
Moreover, the subtext of Mr. Lu’s words clearly acknowledged Su Xingyu’s identity!
This ordinary girl’s background, could she really surpass so many debutantes eyeing Lu Shifeng like hungry wolves, and marry into the Lu Family!
For a moment, the executives’ gazes towards Su Xingyu became subtly different, no longer dismissing her as merely "Mr. Lu’s affair," but as the bona fide "future young mistress of the Lu Family"!
Su Xingyu didn’t mind the changes in the executives. After finishing her conversation with Mr. Lu, she took a step back elegantly, like a true high-class lady, with just the right amount of propriety.
Lu Shifeng also exchanged pleasantries with Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu was not as kind to his dear grandson, his words full of authority and very stern.
Lu Shifeng responded cautiously, even though it was just a few words, it was more tiring than making decisions for the group, Su Xingyu noticed, feeling a faint pang of sympathy.
He accompanied Mr. Lu, answering as they walked towards the main table, with Su Xingyu and a few executives in tow.
At the main table, Mr. Lu took the main seat first, Lu Shifeng turned to Su Xingyu and said, "Sit with me."
He then sat down next to Mr. Lu.
Su Xingyu hesitated for a moment and then sat down on Lu Shifeng’s other side.
She had originally intended to return to the photography center to sit, but since Lu Shifeng had spoken, she couldn’t refute him in front of the elders and so many executives, and she also didn’t want to return and be subordinate to Zhuang Heng, she still harbored resentment towards that chief seat Zhuang Heng occupied.
At the photography center table, many were continuously keeping an eye on the main table.
Seeing Su Xingyu sit next to Lu Shifeng, many displayed looks of slight surprise and revelation.
No wonder Mr. Lu immediately asked Su Xingyu to let Miss Zhuang have the chief seat at the photography center, he never intended for Su Xingyu to sit there!
They initially thought Mr. Lu was considerate towards Miss Zhuang, but now it seems, it’s Su Xingyu he truly cherishes!
Many discreetly glanced at Zhuang Heng, curious about her expression, after all, curiosity is human nature.
Zhuang Heng gazed in the direction of the main table, seeing those two sitting closely together, from her angle she could only see Lu Shifeng’s tall back and Su Xingyu’s partial side profile. Lu Shifeng slightly turned his head to say something to Su Xingyu, and a subtle smile appeared on Su Xingyu’s delicate face, she responded naturally, and then the upper-positioned Mr. Lu also spoke, and the entire table of executives joined in with harmonious laughter.
It was suffocating for Zhuang Heng, like countless ants gnawing at her insides, only she could understand the pain.
She casually took a sip of water from a glass, controlling her expression to stay composed.
Over there, on the stage, the host of the annual meeting cheerfully opened the microphone.
