Chapter 369 What Has Been Lost
After the Wu Family left, the networking dinner naturally continued, but the atmosphere had completely changed, and everyone's mind wasn't really on it anymore.
Everyone kept their distance from Su Chen, as if he were a plague carrier.
Although Su Chen was indifferent to people's attitudes, he had to consider the approach of one person—Lin Ruoxue, who was walking towards him with a smile on her face.
Despite her smiling face, Su Chen could clearly sense the hidden anger and fury in her eyes.
He also knew he had overstepped today, after all, standing up for another woman in front of his own wife was intolerable for anyone!
Especially since that woman was a superb beauty! Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire
Not only was Su Chen feeling uneasy, Ye Mei by his side also had some trepidation, feeling like a mistress facing the legitimate wife, her aura completely deflated.
However, what neither of them expected was Lin Ruoxue to walk past Su Chen with a smile and extend her hand to Ye Mei:
"Hello, I'm pleased to meet you, I am Lin Ruoxue, Su Chen's wife."
Since there were almost no others around Su Chen, this explosive piece of information was not heard by many.
Upon hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, both Su Chen and Ye Mei were a bit stunned, sensing something was amiss. Normally, shouldn't two women start a fight over a man?
Why was Lin Ruoxue acting as gentle as a spring breeze, all cordial and polite? The whole scene seemed off!
Coming back to her senses, Ye Mei quickly understood that Lin Ruoxue was asserting her authority!
This woman was indeed extraordinary!
"Ms. Lin, please don't misunderstand, Su Chen and I are just... just friends," Ye Mei said somewhat falteringly, feeling a bit guilty.
"I understand, who he befriends is his freedom, I would not interfere with that," Lin Ruoxue said lightly and with a smile:@@@@
"I'm just wondering how Ms. Ye came to know my husband?"
Hearing Lin Ruoxue's words, Su Chen couldn't help but scoff to himself; she claimed she wouldn't interfere, yet here she was asking questions right away.
"One day he came to my bar for a drink, and we met by chance," Ye Mei said without much thought, honestly.
However, upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but glance at Su Chen, who was somewhat uncomfortable next to her, and inwardly remarked:
"Look at you, going to bars for drinks!"
In her view, it was rare for men to go to bars for any good reason—eight out of ten times, it was to look for romantic adventures!
In that moment, Yun Shiqing felt he had made a very wrong decision today!
...
As soon as they left the hotel's main entrance, Lin Ruoxue suddenly yanked her hand away from Su Chen's grip. Her face immediately turned frosty, exuding an icy chill that seemed to penetrate to the bone!
In an instant, it was as though she had returned to the time when they had first met...
"Wife... I..."
Su Chen was all too aware of why Lin Ruoxue reacted that way. She hadn't blown up inside, which was already her giving him face.
However, Lin Ruoxue seemed not to hear Su Chen's words and headed straight for her car, then got in.
Just as Su Chen reached the car and was about to get in, Lin Ruoxue stepped on the accelerator and drove past him with a roar...
Su Chen was left standing there, dumbfounded...
"It seems my wife's anger is bigger than I thought!" Su Chen muttered to himself, but he didn't blame Lin Ruoxue; it was entirely his own doing!
The night breeze was cold as it blew in gusts. Standing there, Su Chen looked somewhat dejected.
He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and gazed at the night sky, lost in thought...
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Just then, a seductive voice sounded beside him.
Ye Mei looked around, somewhat puzzled,
"Where's your wife?"
"She's gone," Su Chen sighed.
"How could she leave? She left you here all by yourself?"
Ye Mei asked, taken aback.
"What do you think?" Su Chen replied with an irked roll of his eyes, thinking to himself, it was all because of you...
Seeing Su Chen looking so upset, Ye Mei finally realized the situation and couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle,
"I thought she wasn't angry. I didn't expect..."
"It looks like Mrs. Lin is still a woman after all!" Ye Mei mused, expressing her realization with a sigh...
