Wei Zhou walked down the stage and could hear the people around him whispering about Su Yan. He was also listening attentively to see their views.

“I really didn’t expect Old Master Xia to like Su Yan so much. Someone who can be valued by her must have something different about her.”

“That’s right. Whether it’s business or people, Old Master Xia’s judgement is very accurate. To be able to praise Su Yan in front of so many people at the birthday banquet, it shows how much he values Su Yan.”

“Not only is Su Yan good-looking, but she’s also dignified and generous. She doesn’t panic when things happen. Just now, Zhou Man pointed at her nose and scolded her, yet she still looked so calm and composed. This shrewdness isn’t something an ordinary person can have.”

“Old Master Xia is right. People like us are indeed inclined to listen and believe. We have been led to believe that Su Yan is a woman who wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Now, whether it’s the father and son of the Xia family or Wei Zhou, they are all fighting over Su Yan. This proves that Su Yan is an outstanding person. It’s not that she wants to curry favor with the rich and powerful, but it’s that the rich and powerful are fighting over her!”

“Look at Su Yan on the stage. She’s graceful, elegant, and noble. Even in front of so many people, she doesn’t feel flustered at all. Now, I understand why Xia Zijian likes her.”

..

Wei Zhou was in the middle of the crowd, constantly listening to the comments of the guests on Su Yan, as well as their opinions on Xia Jiang wanting to acknowledge Su Yan as his goddaughter. He had also been staring at Su Yan. Today, Su Yan was dressed very elegantly. However, she gave off a very gentle and noble feeling. Her wine-red wavy long hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her jade-white neck was connected to her collarbone, giving off an extremely seductive feeling. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were gorgeous. That kind of beauty was indescribable.

Su Yan, who was chatting and laughing with Xia Jiang on the stage, looked radiant. Instantly, most of the men present were mesmerized. Su Yan was really too good-looking. She had no blind spots at all. From every angle, she had another kind of beauty. Every frown and smile could capture the heart of a man.

This side to Su Yan reminded Wei Zhou of the day of their wedding. At that time, when Su Yan was talking to him, she had always had a sweet smile on her face. Her body also emitted a glow that could be seen with the naked eye. However, three years later, when Su Yan looked at him again, there was no smile in her eyes. There was only a bone-piercing coldness.

Wei Zhou missed the past very much because at that time, Su Yan only had eyes for him. In Su Yan’s world, he was the only one. Now, Su Yan no longer had eyes for him, as if he had never appeared before.

Today, he and Lan Jian had arrived at the birthday banquet a long time ago. Moreover, when they arrived, they were the center of attention. However, Su Yan didn’t even look at him from the beginning until the end. When he had just scolded Zhou Man, Su Yan had only raised her eyebrows and glanced at him.

That night, when he stayed at Su Yan’s house, he had confessed to her due to his high fever. He felt a glimmer of hope and thought that Su Yan would get back together with her. However, the banquet had completely shattered the hope that he had fought so hard for. Other than being not as handsome as him, Xia Zijian wasn’t inferior to him in any aspect. In fact, he wasn’t even worthy of carrying Xia Zijian’s shoes when it came to wooing women. Furthermore, Xia Jiang had acted so aggressively. The confidence in his heart was diminishing. He felt that if he wanted to woo Su Yan, it was harder than ascending to the heavens!

After Lan Jian greeted his acquaintances in Xiang City, he found Wei Zhou in the crowd. From his point of view, he felt that Wei Zhou looked very lonely and pitiful. He had the urge to go over and mock Wei Zhou, but when he really walked to Wei Zhou’s side, he still didn’t have the heart to say that. Instead, he comforted him, “Ah Zhou, you should be more open-minded. In one’s life, there will always be something in life that you can’t force. You once had Su Yan, but now, she no longer belongs to you. No matter how depressed you are, it’s meaningless. It’s better to move on.”

Hearing this, Wei Zhou felt a sharp pain in his heart. Why didn’t he just move on? Everyone understood this logic, but it was easier said than done. At least, he wasn’t so free and unrestrained. e hadn’t reached this realm yet.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhou didn’t look at Lan Jian coldly. Instead, his gaze was gloomy as he said, “This time, I really seem to have lost him.”

Lan Jian sighed. “It’s useless for you to be so dejected here. Actually, things aren’t as bad as you think. Old Master Xia is in such a hurry to acknowledge Su Yan as his goddaughter since he’s trying to build a good relationship with her. This also means that Su Yan should have made it clear to Old Master Xia or Xia Zijian that she doesn’t want to marry into the Xia family, so…”
