Chapter 416: How Could She Be Worthy?
Luo Xiuxiu was an old woman after all, and although the summer wind wasn’t strong, her body was still unable to support itself.
Luo Xiuxiu briefly stood by the door before going in, leaving only Sheng An’ning and a few staffs at the door to receive the many guests who were coming.
Sheng An’ning stood at the door gracefully. The smile on her beautiful face was gentle and her actions were prim and proper.
“Thank you, thank you. Please come in.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared on the red carpet. He was dressed in a suit with a necktie and leather shoes and looked dignified. He was the mayor of S City, Meng Bin.
Meng Bin walked over with smooth steps. When he saw Sheng An’ning from afar, he couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
It was for no other reason than that Mayor Meng had a son who had just graduated from high school. Ever since he saw Sheng An’ning on TV, he had fallen head over heels for her.
He listened to the song “Moonlight Border” over and over again and even dreamed of marrying Sheng An’ning every day!
Meng Bin thought of his disappointing son and could not help but sigh.
Putting aside the age issue, this was not the main point. The main point was, would Sheng An’ning even fancy his son?
The incident of Sheng An’ning cutting her wrist because of the young master a few days ago had not only caused a stir on the Internet, but had also spread throughout the streets and alleys of S City.
When Mayor Meng’s son found out that Sheng An’ning had cut her wrist, he cried and begged to visit Sheng An’ning at the City Hospital of S City. If it weren’t for his family sending for people to stop him, he might have caused trouble.
Sheng An’ning thanked the many guests politely. Suddenly, Meng Bin’s figure entered her line of sight.
Her beautiful eyes lit up and she immediately waved at Meng Bin. “Mayor Meng, you’re here.”
Sheng An’ning also knew Meng Bin’s son. Although Meng Bin had stopped him from coming out, Sheng An’ning had still received many gifts from him.
If Meng Bin’s son had not been a few years younger, perhaps Sheng An’ning would have had other thoughts at a time like this.
Who asked Jiang Haoxuan to treat her so coldly?
That kind of indifferent attitude made Sheng An’ning angry, but she could not find an outlet to vent her anger.
Hearing Sheng An’ning’s words, Meng Bin strode forward to greet her.
“Congratulations to Chief Jiang, I wish him longevity and vitality.”
Meng Bin nodded slightly and looked Sheng An’ning up and down before shifting his gaze away from her face. No wonder his youngest son was so infatuated with her. He indeed had reasons to be infatuated with her.
Meng Bin smiled and praised, “It’s nice to meet you, Miss Sheng. I feel like I haven’t seen you in a while. You’ve grown even more beautiful.”
Which woman didn’t like being praised?
Hearing this, Sheng An’ning’s smile was as gentle as water. “Thank you, Mayor Meng. You flatter me.”
Meng Bin nodded again. He didn’t chat Sheng An’ning up much and was ready to walk in.
Just then, Meng Bin and Sheng An’ning suddenly heard a series of exclamations coming from ahead.
“Look, look! They’re coming!”
Meng Bin frowned and stopped in his tracks to look ahead. He wondered who else would be in the limelight at senior master Jiang’s birthday banquet.
Sheng An’ning also followed everyone’s gaze and looked toward the crowd.
“That’s a Koenigsegg Agera R! The young master and Miss Su are coming!”
When Sheng An’ning heard this, a cold glint flashed across her beautiful eyes. She could not help but stroke the scar on her left hand. The wound that had long healed was now suffused with a pungent pain.
A gentle braking sound was heard, and then the oncoming Koenigsegg came to a steady stop.
All the guests who had just arrived and had yet to enter the hotel lobby stopped in their tracks and saluted the Koenigsegg Agera R with their eyes.
Most of the guests who had come to attend the 70th birthday banquet of the Jiang family had also previously attended Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan’s wedding banquet.
Ever since the church wedding, the crowd could not forget the noble figure who stood tall and straight. At the same time, they could not forget the woman in a blue wedding dress who stood by his side.
When they saw the door of the driver’s seat suddenly open, the crowd could not help but hold their breath.
Jiang Xuecheng’s attire was not much different from usual. He was still in a black suit, and his noble and elegant face made others feel like dust.
He slightly raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd in front of him. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Xuecheng was a relatively cold person. He didn’t like this kind of occasion, so he didn’t want to attend such events.
As Jiang Zhiyuan’s grandson, it wouldn’t be right if he didn’t come to Jiang Zhiyuan’s 70th birthday banquet.
At this moment, the door of the co-driver’s seat opened.
The guests quickly shifted their gaze, and a beautiful and exquisite slender figure instantly entered their sight.
Everyone stared fixedly at Su Wan, and couldn’t help but gasp. It was only two or three seconds before they could no longer shift their gazes away.
It turned out that a cheongsam could be worn so refreshingly and elegantly, yet at the same time seem somewhat indescribably seductive.
When two contradictory temperaments were combined, it was twice as stunning!
As for Jiang Xuecheng, he swept his gaze across the men who were staring straight at Su Wan. Although he was already prepared, he still furrowed his brows.
Jiang Xuecheng rapidly turned cold. He swept his cold gaze across the men and then put his arm around Su Wan’s shoulder. His cold voice spilled out of his thin lips.
“Wan Wan, let’s go in.”
The way he put his arm around Su Wan’s shoulder was extremely domineering. The men who received the warning from Jiang Xuecheng shifted their gaze away.
Her being a beauty was good, yet she had been taken. The person protecting her was still Jiang Xuecheng. Who could afford to offend him?
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan coming over, the guests could not help but step back and automatically make way for them.
Everyone watched as the two of them walked toward the red carpet. Then, they started to whisper to each other.
The young master and young madam were really a match made in heaven. The rarest thing was that the two of them still had such a good relationship!
The women present could not help but feel a little jealous of Su Wan.
Many of them were also married, but which man could be more outstanding than Jiang Xuecheng?
Moreover, most of the children of the rich and powerful liked to flirt with women. It was rare to see someone as handsome and devoted as Jiang Xuecheng.
They did not know from which lifetime Su Wan had cultivated her blessings…
Sheng An’ning, who was standing under the floral arch, heard that many rich ladies were envious of Su Wan’s good luck. Some of them even glanced at Sheng An’ning, their eyes filled with sympathy.
Sheng An’ning bit her light red lips and couldn’t help but clench her fists.
It was all Su Wan’s fault. If Su Wan hadn’t interfered, the person standing next to brother Xuecheng would definitely be her!
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan were walking side by side, Sheng An’ning was in a trance for a moment. Soon, her beautiful eyes were filled with a cold and sinister air.
Su Wan wasn’t good enough for Jiang Xuecheng at all!
Sheng An’ning lowered her eyes. In an instant, the hostility on her face disappeared and turned into a gentle smile.
She walked up quickly and looked at Jiang Xuecheng with infatuation.
“Brother Xuecheng, you’re here. Grandmother and the others have been waiting for you for a long time.”
