she would have doubted if Su He had ever truly loved him, looking at her like this."Mr. Su, many friends mean many paths. Even though Young Master Huo is no longer involved with the Di Jin Group, he...The Charity Gala is A city's annual highlight.

Every prominent family in City A would go to great lengths to secure an invitation.

It can gain a good reputation by showcasing real abilities and also help build connections.

Those attending the banquet were either family heads or heirs. For someone like Su He and Shen Niannian, two women accompanying each other, to enter through the main gate so openly was simply out of the ordinary.

As soon as the two of them appeared, they attracted a lot of attention.

Many people had seen Su He on yachts before and knew her true identity, but they didn't expect Shen Zao Lin and Gu Qing Cheng to have her attend such an important occasion.

To reach the top of high society, most people are smart and could have guessed that Shen Zhaolin and Gu Qingcheng were likely planning to make Su He's identity public.

Soon, Su He and Gu Niannian were surrounded by the ladies of high society, who warmly fawned over them.

"Miss Su, this dress on you suits your temperament so well, it must be custom-made, right"

"Ms. Su, your necklace and earrings, aren't they the set of over 100 million pink diamonds that was sold at the Zurich auction three years ago It's truly a sight to behold!"

"Ms. Su, I believe we've met before at the shopping mall. You may not remember, but I have a very strong impression of you. I didn't expect to run into you here today."

Shen Niannian was squeezed to the edge by the wealthy wives, watching Su He surrounded by them. She felt both sympathy and amusement.

She was the one who, surrounded by people, couldn't withstand their enthusiasm.

Everyone was chattering away, eager to be heard above the din, oblivious to the person in the middle who was being driven mad by the cacophony of voices.

Shen Niannian hated most being surrounded by people like a monkey in a zoo, yet due to the situation she had to force a smile and face them, even though inside she was seething with anger.

Now it's Su He's turn.

Finally, Shen Niannian discovered that after Su He returned to the God Clan, the benefits for her far outweighed any drawbacks.

Tapping her toes, Shen Niannian pointed to the resting area not far away with Su He. She gestured for him to wait there for her.

Su He really wanted to ask Shen NianNian for help, but he was afraid of dragging her into the passionate storm. He could only watch helplessly as Shen NianNian unrighteously went to the rest area.

Su He, brightening his face, smiled and greeted the ladies one by one. Though he knew their questions were mere pleasantries, he couldn't respond too superficially.

Fortunately, Qingcheng had explained the etiquette of the banquet to her beforehand.

Su He politely and effortlessly interacted with the ladies, gradually winning them over with her eloquence and grace. Those who had initially only approached her for her status found themselves increasingly impressed by her demeanor.

Had they not known Su He's true identity, they would have believed without a doubt that she had received a noble education from childhood, and her every gesture exuded an elegant and confident aura.

Just as Su He had finally escaped the enthusiastic greetings of the wealthy ladies and was about to head to the rest area to find Shen Niannian, a commotion erupted from that direction.

Near the entrance of the resting area, there is a champagne tower as tall as a person.

And at that moment, the champagne tower was struck, it swayed and struggled for a few moments before finally crashing down with a thunderous roar.

The tall, slender champagne flute shattered on the ground, and the subtle scent of the champagne drifted into the furthest corners of the venue.

The person lying on the ground wore a light pink sleeveless dress that reached mid-thigh. Because they had fallen onto a shattered glass wine goblet, their arms and legs were covered in scratches, and there were several places where blood was oozing out.

Su He could only see her back, but he recognized that person at a glance as Shen Niannian.

That pink dress was personally designed by her for Shen Niannian and rushed out overnight.

Knowing that it was the latest design by Sally, the chief designer of the Y Country Royal Family, Shen Niannian was excited all afternoon and couldn't even eat a full meal at night for fear that it wouldn't fit.

Shen Niannian gritted her teeth and struggled to her feet, looking down at her stained dress with a heart full of pain. It was covered in wine stains. Finally, she could bear it no longer.

She bit her lip, glaring angrily at the woman across from her whose face was full of arrogance: "Qin Luo'an, is this how you were raised Hitting people at random"

Qin Luo'an crossed his arms and looked at the young girl beside him with disdain, "She said I hit her. Did you see that"

The girls who got in thanks to Qin Luo’an glanced at each other and all shook their heads.

"It was she who didn't stand steady, yet she still had the face to blame others."

"A duckling of unknown origin, thinking it's a swan, is really laughable."

"I heard the main person is back, and she's refusing to leave. She really has thick skin!"

Seeing Qin Luo'an's smile grow wider and wider, the girls around her became even more enthusiastic in their sarcastic remarks.

"Did you hear that I didn't push you." Qin Luoan looked down at Shen Niannian with disdain, "With someone like you, even pushing you would make my hands dirty!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the girl beside him burst into laughter.

Shen Niannian was both angry and wronged. Unfortunately, the other party outnumbered her. Just as she was about to speak back, they interrupted her one after another, not giving her a chance to get a word in edgewise.

Just then, a coat was put on his shoulders.

Su He didn't know when he arrived beside her.

Standing beside her were Qin Shi, whose face was displeased, and Huo Chenxi, who sat in a wheelchair.

Qin Shi was wearing a dark green shirt and black trousers, with a matching suit jacket draped over Shen Niannian's shoulders.

"I apologize!" Su He stared at Qin Luo'an, who was wearing a goose-yellow off-shoulder long dress. Her eyes were calm and still, as if she didn't have a single emotion.

Qin Luo'an was angered by her attitude and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you, to order me around"

Because Qin Shi was by Su He's side, Qin Luo An's voice grew fainter and fainter.

Su He turned her head and glanced at Qin Shi: "Do you care, or not"

When Shen Niannian was being bullied, Su He was about to come over, but she was stopped by Huo Chenxi who suddenly appeared.

Upon learning that Qin Luo'an, the head of the delegation, was Qin Shi's cousin, she agreed to let Qin Shi and Huo Chenxi come over. She also accepted Huo Chenxi's kindness and allowed Qin Shi to take off his jacket and put it on Shen Niannian.

If Qin Shi protects her, she won't be polite.

Qin Shi glanced at Huo Chen Xi, seeing that he and Su He had the same cold expressions. He couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

He doesn't know if Su He will let Qin Luo go, but Huo Chen Xi is afraid this won't be so simple.

After all, in order to investigate the foreign forces who took Bai Yihuan away and intended to kidnap Su He, Huo Chenxi specially sent three people to investigate.

And on Baijia's side, he also began to handle it.

"Qin Luo'an, she has no right to order you, but I do" Qin Shi's face darkened, his gaze fixed on Qin Luo'an with utmost seriousness. He commanded in a superior tone, "Now, immediately apologize to Miss Shen!"

Qin Luo'an looked at Qin Shi incredulously.

In broad daylight, he actually helped outsiders slap her face

As the legitimate heiress of the Qin family, why should she apologize to Shen Niannian, a woman of unknown origins
