Lu Shifeng glanced at her, "Of course." The woman in the white suit smiled elegantly, waiting quietly for Lu Shifeng to explain Su Xingyu’s identity to her. But Lu Shifeng turned his head to Su Xingyu, "Xingyu, this is Zhuang Heng, the eldest daughter of Zhuang’s Cosmetics Group, and currently the chief photographer at Fengren. If you have any photography-related issues in the future, you two can discuss them together." Su Xingyu nodded and agreed. However, Zhuang Heng’s heart was in turmoil—what, Lu Shifeng introduced her to the girl first, rather than the other way around? In social etiquette, this suggests that the girl might have a higher status than her! When did this formidable rival appear, quietly coming to Lu Shifeng’s side, perhaps to preempt her? Zhuang Heng focused her gaze on the girl, seeing her dressed in casual home attire, sitting somewhat informally on the spacious leather sofa. Her long hair was half-tied, her skin fair, and her slender wrist wore an exquisite bracelet, like a tame kitten harmlessly resting. But Zhuang Heng understood she wasn’t truly harmless—the girl’s beauty was striking, and it was clearly not due to plastic surgery. Her features were as precious as gems, naturally possessing a noble grace that only generations of honored family lineage could nurture. Zhuang Heng recalled where she had seen her before. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel※fire.net Yesterday, in the main hall, the girl in the luxurious dress worth hundreds of thousands looking for the venue! How laughable it was that I thought the dress was fake, when she was genuinely distinguished! In the blink of an eye, Lu Shifeng began introducing the girl, "Zhuang Heng, this is Su Xingyu, she’s my..." "Friend! Friend." Su Xingyu hurriedly interrupted Lu Shifeng, her heart pounding rapidly—it was a close call that he was about to reveal her identity! Previously, he hadn’t publicized her identity because the street photography contest hadn’t ended, and now announcing it would be perfectly natural. But she wasn’t ready yet. She lifted her gaze to Lu Shifeng, showing a pleading look. Lu Shifeng’s words were interrupted, his expression turned slightly cold. What, she didn’t want to be known as his wife? Was marrying him so unbearable? He sneered coldly and said to Zhuang Heng, "That’s right, friend." Su Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, lightly patting her chest. Zhuang Heng also felt relieved in her heart, honestly, in that moment she was really afraid Lu Shifeng would say something like girlfriend. She looked at Su Xingyu and gave a perfect, impeccable smile, "Hello, Miss Su, pleased to meet you. Did you just arrive in S City from elsewhere? If there’s anything you’re not used to, just let me know, and I can help you. After all, Shifeng is a man, not as familiar with daily details as we women are, so don’t be shy with me." As if she were already the hostess. Hearing her say Shifeng this and Shifeng that, Su Xingyu felt a faint unease in her heart, not even knowing where this discomfort came from. She brushed it aside and said to Zhuang Heng, "I’m a local in S City." Zhuang Heng’s meticulously made-up eyes showed just the right amount of surprise, "You’re from S City? My apologies, it’s my ignorance, I didn’t know there was a Su Family here that could raise such a beautiful girl like you." Su Xingyu understood her implication, subtly probing about her family background? She had no intention of competing, in fact, she couldn’t possibly match up to a wealthy socialite like Zhuang Heng. Any goodwill from last night due to Zhuang Heng’s beauty had unknowingly dissipated, and she simply said, "Miss Zhuang, you come from an esteemed family and are far above someone like me from a humble background. It’s quite normal that you haven’t heard of a small household like the Su Family." Moreover, she had long severed ties with the Su Family. Besides her, behind the expansive dark wood desk, Lu Shifeng’s expression turned even colder. What did she mean by "a humble person like her is far beneath"? Could it be that his officially registered wife was still incomparable to a mere daughter of the Zhuang family? Zhuang Heng and Su Xingyu were too engrossed in staring at each other to notice Lu Shifeng’s expression. Zhuang Heng continued to probe Su Xingyu, "A humble background? Miss Su is too modest, last night the dress you wore was priceless, and today this bracelet—" her slightly upward scathing gaze swept over Su Xingyu’s wrist, "if I’m not mistaken, it’s strung with jade slices? Its green color is pure and without impurities, such a piece doesn’t come cheap." Su Xingyu felt displeased, she had been yielding in every way, yet Zhuang Heng continued to press aggressively. This bracelet was made of platinum filaments with strung jade slices, not only of good quality but also uniquely designed. It was found in the jewelry box that the butler had prepared for her at Lu Shifeng’s instruction. Lu Shifeng had always been generous with her in this regard, and if she wasn’t seen wearing jewelry, he would assume she didn’t like the style and repeatedly have the butler buy more. Thus, Su Xingyu had long learned to pick light pieces to wear. She raised her wrist and shook it towards Zhuang Heng, "Miss Zhuang seems to examine it more closely than I, the owner do, if you like it, how about I give it to you?" Zhuang Heng’s expression froze, not expecting Su Xingyu to speak so bluntly. This wasn’t offering her the bracelet, it was clearly mocking her for being shallow-eyed, unable to look away from other people’s jewelry! However, after years of being a socialite, she had developed a good amount of tolerance, enduring it without showing any sign as she turned to smile at Lu Shifeng, "Shifeng, let’s go eat, food from the thermos isn’t fresh, what’s there to eat?" Lu Shifeng neither agreed nor disagreed, his expression cold, only looking at Su Xingyu. Very well, she was even willing to casually give away the jewelry he gifted her? Su Xingyu was chilled by his gaze, still not knowing where she went wrong—heaven’s honesty, she hadn’t thought about the bracelet at all. The bracelet was among the batch of jewelry bought for her by the butler shortly after she married into the family, it was practically wholesale, and completely different from a piece of jewelry a man lovingly picks and gives to a girl while whispering sweet nothings! "Fine, we’ll eat out," Lu Shifeng said coldly. A victorious smile spread across Zhuang Heng’s charming face, glancing at Su Xingyu. Su Xingyu was fuming, she hated Zhuang Heng’s smile, and why did she have to bring such a heavy thermal lunchbox all the way from home to deliver food to him? A well-meaning gesture taken as a donkey’s liver and lungs! Her temper flared up too, "Not fresh? Mr. Lu, go ahead and enjoy your fresh meals, if I deliver food to you again, I’ll be foolish, I’ll be a pig!"
