Chapter 169 As long as President Su remembers.
Sheng Tingchen wore a black custom-made suit, his posture was upright, his steps were steady, and his noble face was as cold and deep as ever.
Accompanying him was Su Qingzhi, dressed in a silver-gray suit, with an elegant demeanor and a gentler look than the man beside him.
Between the two stood An Qingyue, dressed in a magnificent pink gown. Her beautiful and delicate face held a hint of arrogance in her smile, making her appear at first glance like a princess pampered by her family.
She linked arms with Sheng Tingchen's, their posture intimate.
It's obvious to anyone at a glance what kind of relationship the two have.
The three appeared.
Her outstanding appearance and good looks attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately, someone came up to chat with them.
Seeing her mother and father, An Qingyue took Sheng Tingchen's hand and said, "Tingchen, go and say hello to my parents."
Sheng Tingchen hummed in agreement.
The two then walked toward Su Jinxi and An Hongda.
"Dad, Mom."
When Su Jinxi saw her daughter, her eyes were full of doting. "You're so old, yet you're still so immature."
An Qingyue stepped forward, took her mother's arm, and said coquettishly, "No way!"
Su Jinxi looked at Sheng Tingchen and said, "Tingchen, Qingyue works for you, so you have to discipline her properly and not let her act like a child again."
Although she said that, her words were full of indulgence towards her daughter.
"Mom, what have I done that's inconsiderate?"
An Hongda smiled indulgently and said, "It's okay, in your parents' eyes you'll always be a child."
An Qingyue smiled sweetly, looking completely immersed in happiness, surrounded by the love of her parents and the man she loved.
From a distance, they really do look like a warm and loving family.
Qi Yanchao watched this scene with a light, sarcastic smile, and said to An Hongjie, "Miss An, are you and President Sheng getting married soon?"
An Hongjie vaguely sensed the sarcasm in Qi Yanchao's words and said with a smile, "I'm not entirely sure at the moment, but I'll definitely invite you both as soon as I have any good news."
On the cruise ship last time, An Hongjie knew that An Qingyue and Evelynn had a conflict, but he didn't know the specific reason. However, he still had to say the polite words.
But after he finished saying that...
Qi Yanchao's sarcastic smile deepened. "Is that so? Then let's wait for the good news. We'll definitely have to prepare a big gift when it comes."
An Hongjie responded with a smile.
Rong Shu was about to look away when she noticed the man's gaze directed at her.
The moment their eyes met.
Sheng Tingchen gave her a deep look with his dark eyes, but Rong Shu coldly withdrew her gaze, her profile cool and aloof, and picked up her wine glass to take a sip of red wine.
The two executives who came with An Hongjie to chat with them chimed in, "President Sheng and Miss An are a perfect match. It seems that the marriage between the An and Sheng families is a done deal. We'll have to prepare a grand gift for them then, haha."
"President Sheng has never attended a banquet hosted by Anjia before. I think he'll be here soon."
An Hongjie smiled and agreed. He was going to go over and say hello, so he told Qi Yanchao.
"Please go ahead, Mr. An."
The two senior executives went with An Hongjie.
Of course, Rong Shu and Qi Yanchao couldn't go over to greet them, so the two of them found a place to sit down.
Sheng Tingchen and his group stood there, attracting attention wherever they went; it was impossible for them to go unnoticed.
Qi Yanchao asked, "What exactly does Sheng Tingchen mean by this? Is he here to support the An family, or to embarrass us both? Or is he simply here to keep An Qingyue company?"
Today's strategic signing ceremony between Anjia and Rongen, and the business tycoons from Haicheng invited to tonight's banquet, are, to put it bluntly, secretly forming opposing sides.
The power struggle between Su Qingzhi and the An family has long since become more than just a matter between the two parties.
Sheng Tingchen accompanied An Qingyue to the banquet. Judging from his pleasant conversation with An Hongda, anyone who didn't know better would think that the two were about to get married. This made people think that he was on the An family's side.
His arrival made him the star of the banquet.
Rong Shu stood with her back to them, and said indifferently, "Who knows?"
What Sheng Tingchen wanted to do was something no one could ever understand; only he himself knew.
Seeing her pale face, Qi Yanchao said, "If I had known, Xiaoshu, you would have gone back to keep Meimei company."
Rong Shu was drinking her wine and was about to say something when she noticed Qi Yanchao's gaze. She subconsciously turned around and saw Su Qingzhi walking towards them.
Su Qingzhi walked up to the two of them and greeted them politely and gentlemanly, "Mr. Qi, Ms. Evelynn."
Qi Yanchao picked up his wine glass, stood up, and clinked glasses with him. "President Su seems to be in a good mood today."
Their formal signing with the An family today means that the two sides are now on opposite sides. Su Qingzhi's attitude towards them has been very polite from beginning to end, showing no unusual emotions whatsoever.
This is the quality that top business elites should possess.
Su Qingzhi smiled slightly, "Today is a joyous occasion to host distinguished guests."
Qi Yanchao smiled and said, "President Su is right."
Su Qing asked, "I forgot to ask today, why didn't President Jiang come to Haishi? I was thinking of hosting him a banquet."
Qi Yanchao: "He has important matters to attend to in Hong Kong, so Evelynn and I are here in his place."
"so."
"..."
Rong Shu sat on the sofa, quietly listening to the two men's impeccable, pretentious conversation. Compared to them, Rong Shu felt that her temperament was really not stable enough.
For example, right now.
She really didn't want to say a word to Su Qingzhi.
In truth, it's only natural for Su Qingzhi to protect his sister and mother. Moreover, he wasn't without principles; his attitude towards her was polite from beginning to end, and even when he apologized, she could sense that there was no pretense.
She just couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she really disliked his behavior, sometimes even more than she disliked Sheng Tingchen.
She probably really disliked An Qingyue so much that she disliked him, her brother, just as much.
Su Qingzhi was talking to Qi Yanchao, her gaze falling on the silent woman.
"Miss Evelynn."
Rong Shu turned her head to look at him, her gaze indifferent.
Su Qingzhi said, "If there is anything that has been done poorly in our hospitality, I hope Miss Evelynn will forgive us."
Actually, it would have been better if he hadn't said anything; she wouldn't have cared who came today at all.
But his words sounded like he was apologizing and making excuses for his sister.
Rong Shu had already calmed herself down, but hearing his words made her want to throw a tantrum.
She gave a cold smile and said, "I wonder if President Su still remembers what you promised me before, that you owe me a favor."
Su Qingzhi's handsome face remained calm as he said, "Of course I remember. Miss Evelynn, please feel free to mention it."
"It's fine as long as President Su remembers, there's nothing to mention now."
They were chatting idly.
Su Jinxi looked in their direction, her beautiful eyes deepening.
