Chapter 114  : Congratulations And Same To You

Jiang Xuecheng asked if she was happy.

Su Wan nodded at first and her shimmering eyes were smiling. Then, she shook her head and sighed. “I’m indeed happy but Mr. Jiang, you’re wrong, it’s you who have won the bid.”

Without him, the winner was unknown.

Furthermore, the latest Beitong proposal was his idea and she merely refined it.

Jiang Xuecheng’s expression remained unchanged. His eyes which were as dark as the night brought a sense of teasing.

“I have indeed won. I only know someone is going to be my secretary. Miss Su, I’ve contacted the senior advisor of the recruitment company. Are you ready?”

Su Wan was slightly stunned when she heard this. She had almost forgotten, but Jiang Xuecheng had remembered their bet!

She said if she won this bid, she would transfer from Long Teng International to the Di Chen Group headquarters but Jiang Xuecheng needed to find a headhunter to bring her over or it would be too embarrassing.

At first, Su Wan treated this as a casual remark but she had not expected Jiang Xuecheng to take it seriously.

When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan spaced out, he felt helpless. He knew Su Wan was a heartless woman and disregarded his words.

However, when he saw her clear and attractive eyes, he couldn’t help wanting to dote on her. If it were not for the place and occasion, he would have brought Su Wan into his embrace.

Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips. Just as he wanted to continue speaking, Gu Zihang and Su Yurou walked over with wine in their hands.

Both of them looked magnanimous now, as if they had calmed down and had accepted defeat.

At that instant, Jiang Xuecheng lost his mood to tease Su Wan. He looked indifferent and his smile disappeared.

When Su Wan saw his serious look, she turned in the direction of Jiang Xuecheng’s gaze.

When she saw the couple approaching them, Su Wan’s eyes became dull and her smile turned cold.

Su Yurou held Gu Zihang’s hand. After cleaning herself up, she had changed into a green dress and her hair was now fresh and sleek. Her unkempt look had disappeared.

With her high heels, she walked over with a pretty smile, like a lotus in the cool breeze.

“Young Master, congratulations on taking on the Beitong project.”

Jiang Xuecheng did not look at Su Yurou but his eyes were on Gu Zihang.

Actually, Jiang Xuecheng was jealous of Gu Zihang because this man had once won Su Wan’s heart.

He could still remember the first day he met Su Wan. She used a happy and proud tone when she spoke about her fiancé.

At the same time, Jiang Xuecheng was happy that Gu Zihang was unaware that Su Wan was a good girl or else the person holding Gu Zihang’s hand today would be Su Wan and not her cousin sister, Su Yurou.

When Jiang Xuecheng ignored Su Yurou, her smile froze. Just as she stood awkwardly, unsure of how to proceed, a phrase entered her ears.

“Same to you.”

They had been defeated in Beitong project, what was there worth congratulating about?

When Su Yurou heard what Jiang Xuecheng said, she bit her lips slightly and thought Jiang Xuecheng was mocking her but when she examined his indifferent look, he did not seem to be mocking her...

It was easy to forgive a rich and good-looking man, and even more so for Jiang Xuecheng, a near perfect man who was like those who appeared in legends.

Hence, although Su Yurou had been repeatedly slapped in the face, she could not hate Jiang Xuecheng, not even a bit.

Seeing such a god-like man, Su Yurou concentrated all her hatred on Su Wan and at the same time felt angry with her for her unimaginable good luck.

When Gu Zihang heard Jiang Xuecheng’s “same to you”, he was equally stunned. However, he noticed Jiang Xuecheng was looking at Su Yurou holding his hand.

Gu Zihang then understood what Jiang Xuecheng’s wish was. He smiled and said, “Our engagement party will be held in a few days. Mr. Jiang, we hope to see you!”

Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes drifted away while he nodded, not saying another word.

Gu Zihang knew Jiang Xuecheng had always been like this. Many people in the industry said he was arrogant and some said he was indifferent and lonely.

So, Gu Zihang was not angry. Anyway, as long as Jiang Xuecheng was willing to attend their engagement party, it would still be okay even if he did not talk.

After listening to Gu Zihang’s words, Su Yurou finally regained her senses. A gentle smile instantly appeared on her face and there was a sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Jiang Xuecheng rarely attended wedding and engagement parties. His willingness to attend this time proved Gu Group’s strong influence.

Major newspapers would report their engagement party and he could add a glow to the name of guests who attended.

Su Yurou tugged Gu Zihang and walked towards Su Wan. She leaned her face on Gu Zihang’s shoulders and her smile had a demonstrative display.

“Wan, I’ve passed you the engagement invitation card. You must come!”

Su Wan looked at this couple faintly. When she saw how Su Yurou nestled deeper into Gu Zihang’s embrace, she smiled gently.

Her eyes were indifferent, as it she had never been in a painful emotional entanglement with the person in front of her.

“I’ll be there.”

Gu Zihang thought Su Wan would say more, such as to humiliate him when she won the Beitong bidding, but Su Wan did not do that. She merely looked cold.

This silent indifference of hers made Gu Zihang freeze where he stood. His mind was disturbed when he was regarded by Su Wan as a stranger.

Gu Zihang spoke haltingly. He wanted to say something to Su Wan but did not know what to say. He knew he had wronged Su Wan but he wanted Su Wan to forgive him.

Aren’t humans selfish?

Su Wan had loved him so much in the past. He could probably apologize and save their friendship.

Jiang Xuecheng frowned. He did not like other men to stare at Su Wan in this manner, more so the man whom Su Wan had once loved.

Jiang Xuecheng shot Gu Zihang a glance and stood up. He looked at Su Wan and said, “Miss Su, let’s go.”

Jiang Xuecheng left without even saying “excuse me”. Gu Zihang saw this and pursed his lips.

Jiang Xuecheng was rude. So what if Di Chen Group had an upper hand in the market? A person with a personality which was not agreeable could not remain long in the business world.

Su Wan caught up with Jiang Xuecheng’s pace and she too did not say goodbye to the couple.

***

Su Wan sat on the co-driver’s seat in the Koenigsegg Agera R. As she fastened her seat belt, she asked gently, “Are you angry?”

Jiang Xuecheng had remained silent since they exited the International Exhibition Center. His pace was fast and she panted as she tried to catch up with his pace.
