The Most Humiliating Reunion (3)

He had subconsciously lifted his foot and wanted to walk over. However, he had just taken a step when his assistant beside him asked in bewilderment, “President Pei, what’s wrong?”

His voice pulled Pei Munian back to reality and Pei Munian abruptly halted in his tracks. His eyebrows knitted together tightly and an imperceptible annoyance flashed across his eyes.

Three years have already passed. Am I still so easily affected by this woman?

A ripple of self-deprecation appeared in his eyes and his fists hanging by his sides clenched tightly little by little.

On the other side, President Liu threw down the wine glass. His gaze was fierce and aggressive and his words were like needles as he said: “Behave myself? Su Wanwan, who in this circle doesn’t know about your background? Pretending to be a woman of morals now? Do you think you have the right?”

“Su Wanwan, do you think you’re still that same eldest daughter of the Su family who can do as she pleases? The current you isn’t even worthy of carrying my shoes! I showed you face but you’re an ungrateful b*tch!”

President Liu’s voice was loud and he wasn’t sparing her feelings at all. His words were like a sharp, cold wind, harshly slapping Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan stood in place with her fists clenched and her body trembling. Had this been in the past, she would’ve splashed a glass of red wine back at him without any hesitation or even paid him back twofold.

Yet now… she couldn’t even afford to offend President Liu.

Su Wanwan forced herself to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes and resignedly released her clenched fists. Even in such a humiliating situation, her back remained ramrod straight from beginning to end as if she was defending her last little morsel of pride in refusing to yield.

After everyone recovered from their initial shock, they couldn’t help but point at Su Wanwan and start whispering.

Not far from the sofa, wealthy playboys were gathered around a round high table. They were all holding wine glasses and chatting while drinking.

“Mr. Liu’s behavior isn’t gentlemanly at all. He actually poured wine on her!”

Another playboy scoffed. “What about her background? Why bother being a gentleman towards a social butterfly?”

“That’s true. I, for one, can’t stand Su Wanwan’s haughtiness. In the past, she looked down on everyone and paid no attention to anybody. But now, the price has been clearly set. Whoever can afford that price can sleep with her.”

“Though to be honest, Su Wanwan is indeed beautiful. If it weren’t for my tiger wife controlling me so strictly, I would really like to have a taste of her.”

“Heh, with your tiny bit of wealth, how could you fill the Su family’s bottomless pit?”

“What’s wrong with my net worth? Mr. Liu is even worse off than me, but after he splashed her with red wine, she didn’t even dare to let out a peep right?”

Su Wanwan was once the girl who had everything, whom everyone respected and acquiesced to. Ever since Su Wanwan’s parents died in a car accident a year ago, the internal conflict in the Su Corporation caused upheaval and it fell apart. After that, due to a failed investment, the company was practically emptied out. Since then, the Su family had suffered a devastating decline.

High society was very cutthroat. “Flatter those with status and trample on the people beneath.” Considering how cold and arrogant Su Wanwan was in the past, everyone was itching to trample all over her now.

The voices of the playboys filtered through Su Wanwan’s ears. She gulped hard, trying her best to swallow the bitterness lodged in her throat. Then her stiff body stepped out to leave.

When she raised her head, her black eyes inadvertently looked forward. Suddenly, she met a pair of deep eyes that were familiar yet unfamiliar.

Su Wanwan abruptly stopped in her tracks. In that instant, it was as if she had stopped breathing and her heart skipped a beat.

He… Why is he here?

Pei Mu-nian stared at her with eyes that were deep and unfathomable. He stared at her for a few seconds before his lips suddenly curled up. A smile slowly spread across his handsome face, just as it did in the past.

After that, Pei Munian slowly took long strides towards her.
