Love You Till the End-Chapter 917 - 916: Gossip

She wasn’t afraid of him. Su Manning just felt that although he appeared gentle and polite, he seemed difficult to get along with—in other words, deeply shrewd.

"No..." His sudden approach made her slightly uncomfortable with their overly close distance.

Song Zhike laughed heartily, turned around, and handed her a wine glass, saying, "Come on, let’s go make a toast too."

After wearing high heels all morning, Su Jiuyi felt her feet aching a bit. She greeted Shi Aoju and then went to the bathroom.

As she passed a dining table, a woman holding a glass of red wine unexpectedly bumped into her, spilling the wine all over her dress.

"Oh, I’m really sorry." The woman displayed an innocent expression, exaggerated in her demeanor, "I didn’t see you."

As if.

Su Jiuyi mocked internally.

But she didn’t mind, casually wiped the dress with a tissue.

She was well aware that it was because she had been with Shi Aoju earlier, triggering some lady’s jealousy.

Standing beside a man who draws attention, it’s indeed very easy to make enemies.

The woman, rather interested, glanced at her twice, then said, "Oh, isn’t this Su Family’s eldest daughter, Su Jiuyi."

Su Jiuyi lifted her gaze to scrutinize the woman for a few seconds, then asked calmly, "Which sister are you?"

The inappropriate age-related address made the woman’s expression very displeased, and she mocked, "Long time no see, I heard you went out to sell yourself, did you latch onto Young Master Jue?"

In Su Jiuyi’s view, selling oneself could earn money, but what she did was clearly volunteer work.

Without money, she didn’t mind, but every time she accidentally woke to a big mess, it always brought a significant mental shock.

"You’re overthinking, sister." She laughed self*******, "Young Master Jue always has high standards, how dare I aspire to that."

"I think so too."

"But I know one thing, Young Master Jue definitely doesn’t like the smell of money on you, sister."

Su Jiuyi wasn’t perfect, but she considered herself quite talented at sarcasm.

After saying this, she didn’t give the other party a chance to retort, but gracefully turned and left.

Su Jiuyi really witnessed quite a bit of the deceit and manipulation of high society. She remembered when Su Zhenxiong was discussing business at home as a child, and she would sit bored on the stairs, holding her rabbit plush toy and eavesdropping. Although she didn’t understand the professional terms, from the tone, she could speculate about the other’s mind.

She also clearly knew that over the years, Su Zhenxiong used many crooked means to establish his empire.

Sometimes she resented him to the point of gnashing her teeth, pondering to simply gather evidence of his crimes and report him to the police, maybe getting a handsome reward and an honorable reputation for integrity.

Su Jiuyi yawned, entered the bathroom, and cleaned the red wine stain on her dress with some water.

"Do you know the girl beside Mr. Qin?" Gossip knows no bounds.

"Isn’t she the bartender at Ciaos? I saw her there last time."

"What bartender, you’re overthinking. She’s Young Master Jue’s fiancée."

...Fiancée?

Su Jiuyi’s hand paused slightly, halting her movements and attentively listening to the discussions around her.

"The girl’s name is Qi Jingren, it’s said she grew up with Young Master Jue. Young Master Jue’s father and mother are abroad, and his brother manages the overseas business. Qi Jingren recently returned from abroad, supposedly arranged by her family to encourage her to develop feelings with Young Master Jue."
