Chapter 118  : The Chaotic Engagement Party

Upon hearing that question, there was silence in Phoenix Hotel.

Everyone looked toward the door unconsciously to see who the man was.

That tall and handsome figure met their gazes and that moment, the scene seemed to have frozen.

The sudden appearance of the man automatically put him in the spotlight. Everyone’s eyes were on him and were filled with admiration, almost forgetting who the main characters of this engagement party were!

The person who had just arrived was Jiang Xuecheng!

He wore a suit with leather shoes. His thin lips were slightly pursed and his eyes were captivating. At the first glance, he looked elegant and at second glance, one would feel as if he was like snow on top of a mountain, which could not be melted.

Before nearing, he gave off a sense of superiority.

Jiang Xuecheng weaved his way through the crowd, ignoring the scrutiny of the guests. He walked directly toward the stage.

He stopped and stood beside Su Wan. Su Wan turned her head sideways slightly. Seeing his tall figure, her racing heart instantly calmed down.

With him by her side, she felt safe.

Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan gazed at one another as they smiled. There was a tacit understanding between them.

The surrounding guests saw that Jiang Xuecheng was obviously protecting Su Wan. His behavior was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Gu and Su families!

Turmoil erupted from the initially quiet guests.

There was no secret in the upper social circle. Many people knew about the relationship and dispute between Su Wan and today’s main characters but they had not expected this matter to involve the powerful young master, Jiang Xuecheng!

Today’s drama was interesting, involving the new love meeting the old love which was related to family assets.

When Su Yurou saw Jiang Xuecheng standing beside Su Wan, she quickly pursed her lips. She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails which were painted red dug into her palm!

Why was Jiang Xuecheng defending Su Wan?

Su Yurou could not understand.

Su Yurou’s father, Su Jiankai, had obviously not expected Jiang Xuecheng to be here to upset the party and announcement. He secretly frowned. Due to Jiang Xuecheng’s identity, he could not chase him away.

“Mr. Jiang, we are honored that you are willing to attend my daughter’s engagement party but now that you are standing on the stage uninvited, you’re not acting like a guest, are you?”

Jiang Xuecheng darted a look at Su Jiankai and his beautiful brows were proudly raised.

“I’ll stand wherever I like. What has this to do with you?”

It was such a harsh tone!

The surrounding guests went into an uproar. It looked like Jiang Xuecheng was turning against Gu Group and Sheng Yuan Group for the sake of a woman!

“Jiang Xuecheng, this is going too far!”

When Gu Zihang heard this, he was angry. His brows were knitted and he wanted to pull Jiang Xuecheng off the stage.

That moment, four burly chaps in black suits appeared out of nowhere to protect Jiang Xuecheng. They had strong body builts and had obviously been trained in martial arts.

An initially joyful engagement party had now turned into a farce!

Su Yurou did not want her engagement party to be ruined just like this. She quickly pulled Gu Zihang to the side and dashed toward Jiang Xuecheng as she pleaded.

“Young Master, it is my engagement party today. This is a family affair between us and Wan. I beg you not to interrupt as an outsider.”

As she pleaded, she raised her head slightly and her eyes were teary. She said in a humble manner with pleading in her eyes and she looked extremely pitiful.

Jiang Xuecheng did not look at Su Yurou. His handsome face was extremely cold and indifferent.

“Miss Su, you’re wrong. Since Wan Wan is my wife, I cannot stay out of this affair.”

As he announced his relationship with Su Wan, Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan’s hand. At a moment of turmoil, both of their fingers were interlocked and it was inexplicably sweet.

This scene instantly hurt Su Yurou and Gu Zihang’s eyes. Although they had considered the idea earlier, they couldn’t believe that Jiang Xuecheng was the man Su Wan had married.

Moreover, Jiang Xuecheng’s words had aroused everyone’s concern!

God, what have they heard? Jiang Xuecheng addressed the second young missy of the Su family as ‘Wan Wan’ and had announced that Su Wan was his wife.

This was hot news!

No wonder Jiang Xuecheng brought Su Wan to the charity dinner several days ago!

After Su Jiankai and Du Huimin knew that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were married, darkness befell them. It looked like their plans could not be carried out.

As Gu Zihang’s mother, Du Huimin was most concerned about the dispute over shares and not about the messing up of her son’s engagement party.

Du Huimin frowned and pursed her lips. She walked towards Jiang Xuecheng.

“Young Master, if you’ve brought you wife to witness the ceremony, please be seated. The Gu Group and Di Chen have always gone our own ways and we don’t hinder one another. I hope you will carefully consider.”

Was she threatening him?

As the CEO of Di Chen Group, would he be afraid of Gu Group?

That was a joke! If he was afraid of becoming Gu Group’s enemy, he would not be here today!

Jiang Xuecheng hated people speaking to him in a threatening manner. Although he still looked calm, his nonchalant tone of voice turned sharp all of a sudden.

“Madam Du, you have misunderstood. Today, I’m not just here to observe the ceremony. My priority today is to seek justice for Wan Wan! The Gu family have united with Su Jiankai’s family to snatch share ownership from an orphaned girl. Aren’t you concerned about your pride?”

All eyes now flitted between Du Huimin, Su Jiankai, and Su Wan.

The guests gulped unconsciously. What Jiang Xuecheng meant was that the share ownership which Su Jiankai had planned to transfer actually belonged to Su Wan?

Su Wan, who had been silent, glanced across each of the guests. Her beautiful face seemed to have been infused with a certain energy, making her extremely confident.

She walked toward Su Jiankai courageously and took a legal inheritance agreement from one of the bodyguards in black before she slowly unfolded it to show the audience.

“Sheng Yuan Group is an amalgamation between Sheng Ran and Heng Yuan. Sheng Ran was originally run by my father, Su Jianyan. When my father passed away, he mentioned clearly in this agreement that I will inherit all the shares in his name after my marriage!”

As she spoke, Su Wan tilted her chin up and her voice became indignant. “But now, Uncle, you’ve abused your power and even plotted against your biological brother’s daughter!”

Looking at the inheritance agreement, Su Jiankai trembled. His vision turned black and he almost fainted!

Wasn’t the inheritance agreement kept personally by Su Heng and locked in a hidden and secure safe which Su Wan didn’t know of?

How did Su Wan get it?
