The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 500: I would recognize you even if you turned to ashes.

Su Xinyan’s voice was soft and sweet as she intently stared at Su Ran, a hint of triumph flickering through her heart.

She refused to believe that upon hearing news of her engagement to Brother Heng, Su Ran’s heart would remain utterly unaffected.

Though she appeared indifferent on the surface, was she really feeling the same way deep down?

The man who once was her fiancé was about to get married, and the bride wasn’t her. Could there be anything more heartbreaking?

What’s more, both their families were dining together tonight, yet she, Su Ran, was the only one excluded—neither the Su Family nor the Gu Family had anything to do with her.

To them, she was no more than a stranger!

Ha...

Su Ran, the life I now enjoy was once all yours.

I’ve snatched away everything you had, bit by bit.

Now, even Brother Heng is mine.

Do you see your own helplessness now?

Facing Su Xinyan’s coquettish behavior, Gu Heng seemed to never have the will to resist, nodding tenderly.

"Alright."

Su Xinyan’s lips curled into a smile, shy yet meaningful as she glanced at Su Ran.

"Sister, you and your friend can order whatever you like; tonight’s expenses are all on Brother Heng and me."

Su Ran gave Su Xinyan a cold look, her voice detached.

"No need."

Su Xinyan’s smile grew more complacent, her eyes shining with a special gleam.

"Sister, there’s no need to be so polite with us. The bills here are not small; it wouldn’t do to lose face when you come out with friends."

Upon hearing this, Wen Peipei let out a cold snort.

"Who knows what kind of friends she has. I can’t control who you mingle with outside, but not just anyone can climb the high branches of the Su Family. Don’t you dare tarnish the Su Family’s name with your antics. If some decline family entangles you, the Su Family can’t afford to lose face."

A dangerous light immediately spread through the depths of Su Ran’s cool eyes, her icy gaze landing on Wen Peipei’s face.

Yet Wen Peipei remained oblivious, her face stern.

"Decline family? Is there any family in Yong City more decline than the Sus now? Who doesn’t avoid mentioning the Su Family these days? Climbing high? Don’t delude yourself by trying to gold-plate your face every day!"

"You..."

Wen Peipei trembled with anger, unable to maintain her dignity in front of so many people, her fury rising from within.

"Is what I said incorrect? Who knows what kind of disgraceful friends you keep, always up to no good with those riffraff, you... you’ve thrown away all the Su Family’s face!"

Su Ran’s face suddenly turned cold, but before she could speak, a voice full of indifferent mockery came from behind.

"Yo, Madam Su sure has quite the face!"

Those present felt a sharp jump in their brows and turned to see the highly distinctive face of Mo Shangjie appearing behind them.

And beside him was a man who looked carefree and nonchalant, utterly at ease.

Su Ran’s eyes flickered, but she quickly returned to normal.

"Young Master Mo? What are you doing here?" Su Xinyan couldn’t contain her excitement.

Gu Heng’s expression changed at the side, his gaze shifting complexly towards Su Ran.

"Young Master Mo?" Wen Peipei frowned, "Is that the young master of the Mo Family?"

Excitement filled Su Xinyan’s face, "Yes! It’s the young master of the Mo Family."

Wen Peipei, too, was visibly excited and quickly approached Mo Shangjie, her smile brimming as she extended her hand towards him.

"So it’s Young Master Mo of the Mo Family, a pleasure to meet! I am the acting Chairman of Enrich, and it is fate that I should see you here!"

Mo Shangjie, clad in a flamboyant light purple suit, tall and with an air of dissolute arrogance, looked down at Wen Peipei, staring at her for quite a long time.

The man by Mo Shangjie’s side possessed pitch-black eyes that harbored an inscrutable depth, making it impossible to discern what he was thinking.

Mo Shangjie looked at Wen Peipei’s hypocritical and aging face, his brow furrowing slightly before finally lowering his gaze to her outstretched right hand.

As seconds ticked by, Mo Shangjie made no move, and the deliberately pleasing smile on Wen Peipei’s face slowly began to stiffen.

The atmosphere around them gradually became awkward.

After a long while.

Mo Shangjie’s hand reached out towards Wen Peipei, who felt a surge of joy, disregarding the fatigue and numbness in her hand, and couldn’t help but extend her hand further towards Mo Shangjie, her palm breaking out into a thin layer of sweat.

However, Mo Shangjie’s hand suddenly stopped, made a turn, and slipped back into his own pocket.

Wen Peipei’s hand hung in the air, her fingers trembling, overcome with embarrassment.

"I know you!"

Upon hearing Mo Shangjie’s words, she forced a smile on her face again.

"It is indeed an honor for me to be recognized by Young Master Mo!"

Mo Shangjie let out a mocking laugh, not letting her cheer last long before he spoke again indifferently.

"The first time I was insulted as a washed-up household unfit to show my face in public, of course, I have a deep impression of you."

Wen Peipei’s facial expression abruptly stiffened, panic rising within her as the smile on her face began to falter.

"Young Master Mo, I didn’t insult you. Could you have remembered it wrong?"

"I thought you were just a foul-mouthed woman, but it seems your brain doesn’t work well either? What, have you forgotten what you’ve just said so quickly?"

Mo Shangjie looked at Wen Peipei with a sinister and mocking sneer.

The gazes of others couldn’t help but fall on Wen Peipei’s face.

Wen Peipei’s complexion turned slightly pale, and embarrassment engulfed her whole being.

"No, I didn’t, Young Master Mo, could you have mistaken me for someone else?"

"Mistaken? Rest assured, even if you turned to ashes I would recognize you. There’s no mistaking it!"

Wen Peipei became frantic, while Deng Jingru and others were thoroughly confused.

What on earth was happening?

"Young Master Mo, my grandmother didn’t do it intentionally. I apologize on her behalf and hope you will look past this on account of the Gu Family’s reputation and not hold it against an old lady!"

Gu Heng suddenly stepped forward, placing himself in front of Wen Peipei.

"How much is your Gu Family’s reputation worth? Why shouldn’t I care?"

Gu Heng’s expression froze, unable to maintain his composure any longer!

Wen Peipei’s complexion was also extremely unsightly. Although Mo Shangjie was a junior, the Mo Family was well-known among the powerful and wealthy families of Yong City, not to be provoked lightly.

Su Xinyan stood aside, watching Su Ran with a look of utter detachment, feeling a surge of resentment.

She clenched her teeth, took a deep breath, and stepped forward two paces, saying in a soft voice:

"Sister, grandmother really didn’t do it on purpose. She was just... disappointed. You are a member of the Su Family after all, can’t you ask Young Master Mo to let this go?"

Upon hearing Su Xinyan’s words, everyone turned their attention to Su Ran.

Could it be that Su Ran knew Mo Shangjie?

All were astonished in their hearts!

Wen Peipei instantly understood, her face darkening as she stared at Su Ran, her voice carrying its usual chill.
