The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 504 - 0494 How did you provoke him?

"And Chu Ling must have been instructed by her sister as well," Xiao Ran said. "Knowing that we are about to get married, she can’t stand it, so she deliberately wants to embarrass us..."

Gu Heng’s eyes darkened, Love Grave?

So, does Xiao Ran still have feelings for him?

A table full of delicious dishes, but not a single person moved their chopsticks.

Everyone’s face was somber, each with a different expression, Deng Jingru’s face was pale with anger as she glanced at Wen Peipei.

If it weren’t for Su Ran, there wouldn’t be so many problems tonight. She only has one son, and his marriage is also a major event for the Gu Family, but everything turned out to be a mess, filled with discord and resentment.

Fortunately, Gu Heng did not choose her. With such a strong spirit of vengeance, bringing her home would only lead to domestic unrest!

Wen Peipei felt even more embarrassed when Deng Jingru looked at her like that, eventually closing her eyes wearily.

This scourge!

Now, she acts with impunity, intensifying her behavior, and no one can do anything about her.

The dinner ultimately could not go on and was hastily concluded midway!

-

In another private room at Victoria’s, it was as quiet as a crematorium.

After Fu Qiyuan entered the private room, he glanced around indifferently but didn’t see Su Ran’s figure, and a slight frown formed between his brows.

"Where is she?"

His beautiful face was devoid of expression, but his cold voice made people shiver involuntarily.

Mo Shangjie surreptitiously glanced at Chi Mu, who sat leisurely beside him, then subtly raised his eyebrows before finally looking at Fu Qiyuan.

"Sister-in-law and Ye Zhichen went to the restroom."

Fu Qiyuan gave him a brief look, and his piercing gaze then fell on Chi Mu. Two seconds later, his tall, straight figure turned and left the private room.

Tonight was a celebration banquet, but considering the privacy of Mo Shangjie and others, other artists from the company were arranged in a different private room by Ye Zhichen.

In the private room, only Mo Shangjie, Chi Mu, Xiao Yize, and Chu Ling were present.

The moment Chu Ling saw Fu Qiyuan, numerous expressions flitted across her face.

Bewilderment, confusion, astonishment!

No one in the private room spoke, creating a repressive and heavy atmosphere.

Mo Shangjie blinked and moved closer to Chu Ling.

"Can the Chu family not afford to keep you anymore? So they let you enter the entertainment industry."

Chu Ling was taken aback and, after a moment, shook her head with a wry smile.

"No matter what happens with the Chu family, what does it have to do with me?"

Mo Shangjie stroked his chin, his smile wicked.

"That’s true, it seems you are well aware of your situation."

Chu Ling turned her head to look at Mo Shangjie for a moment without saying a word.

Mo Shangjie moved closer to her, his voice mysterious,

"How about it? Do you need my help?"

Chu Ling looked at him, "How would you help?"

Mo Shangjie chuckled and his expression fully displayed what a rakish young master looked like.

"If you followed me, wouldn’t all your problems be easily solved?"

Chu Ling: "..."

-

When Ye Zhichen came out of the restroom, Su Ran was already standing there at the washbasin waiting for her.

Ye Zhichen’s brows moved slightly, and she tugged a little at the corner of her mouth before walking up to the washbasin to turn on the tap.

The restroom was unusually quiet, with the sound of flowing water crystal clear.

She turned off the tap, shook her hands dry, and then looked up at Su Ran.

"Seeing you waiting here for me reminds me of our school days. Sometimes, I can’t help but remark how fast time flies."

A faint smile curved at the corner of Su Ran’s lips as she quietly listened to Ye Zhichen’s sentiment.

"Through all the journey, whether happy or sad, we’ve grown up, and now we’ve reached the age to get married."

By the end of her speech, Ye Zhichen looked at herself in the mirror, her expression faint, undisturbed, with the bright light shining in her beautiful eyes, fluttering slightly.

"Xiao Ran, you and Fu Qiyuan... you’re going to get married, right?"

Su Ran nodded her head, "Mhm, I will!"

Ye Zhichen raised her lips, the smile in her eyes gaining a few degrees of warmth.

"That’s good, I can tell he really loves you. They say ’marriage’ is the most impenetrable word in the world, and once you’re tainted by it, it’s like one foot stepping into a grave. But no matter what, I still hope you can marry for love."

Su Ran found it hard to suppress the sourness in her heart.

She didn’t know with what feelings or expressions Ye Zhichen had spoken those words.

Marry for love?

Perhaps no one understood these four words more thoroughly than her.

Zhichen wanted to marry for love, but she didn’t marry the love she wanted.

But how long can a person’s patience really last?

Patience will eventually run out one day!

"Zhichen..."

Ye Zhichen listened to Su Ran’s hesitant voice, then lifted her gaze to look at her.

Seeing this, she smiled softly, her smiling face betraying no abnormalities.

"Xiao Ran, you will be happy marrying Fu Qiyuan. I believe he can make it happen."

"And what about you?"

Ye Zhichen paused slightly, and Su Ran asked again.

"Are you happy?"

Ye Zhichen tugged at her lips but didn’t answer her question.

In this world, no one understood her better than Su Ran.

Happy?

No, she couldn’t even say it herself, so why deceive herself and others!

"Zhichen, in front of me, you don’t have to deliberately hide your emotions."

Ye Zhichen’s smile froze for a moment.

Then she let out a bitter laugh, "I’m not hiding anything, ah, it’s just that as an adult, I’m past the age of being hysterical..."

Is this the price of growing up?

Su Ran stepped forward, took Ye Zhichen’s hand, and led her towards the exit.

Ye Zhichen snapped back to her senses and stopped her movement.

"Xiao Ran, what are you doing?"

Su Ran turned back and glanced at her, noticing the traces of panic and confusion on her delicate, pale face.

She held onto Ye Zhichen’s hand without letting go, her voice cold and indifferent.

"If you don’t want to see him, I will take you away right now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhichen laughed softly, placing her other hand on the one Su Ran was holding.

"Today is the company’s celebration banquet. How can I, as the boss, leave halfway through?"

Su Ran frowned slightly, looking at her disapprovingly.

Ye Zhichen said with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. It’s not like I’ll drop dead just by seeing him."

Su Ran’s eyes flickered, and she slightly loosened her grip on Ye Zhichen’s wrist. Ye Zhichen chuckled and removed her hand.

"Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself. Your man there didn’t look too good just now. What did you do to upset him?"

Su Ran tugged at her lips.

Had she upset him?

It was more like suffering an undeserved calamity!

Just thinking about the people in the private room gave her an instant headache.

Ye Zhichen couldn’t help laughing out loud when she saw Su Ran’s expression.

Seeing her laugh, Su Ran felt a bit more relaxed as well.

The two had just stepped out of the restroom when they encountered that familiar figure standing there.

Su Ran hesitated for a moment, her mind a little dazed.

"Why are you here?"

Fu Qiyuan swept a cool glance over Ye Zhichen beside her and stepped toward her.
