Chapter 1
The office's decoration was not luxurious at all. Su Jinyi took a quick look and discovered that all the things in the office were of the highest quality. It showed that the owner of the office was low-key and had good taste.
She nervously held her hand and waited in the office for its owner to arrive.
He Ruiting.
She had been in this office for half an hour now, and other than the secretary who sent her a cup of coffee, no one else had ever come to this office.
Su Jinyi anxiously waited, not knowing when the owner of this name would come.
Today, she was chased out of her home by her own stepmother, yet, on the way, she was welcomed by He Ruiting's people. She couldn't even remember the last time she saw this man.
Su Jinyi felt that their meeting that time was really wonderful. An ugly duckling that was ridiculed by the stepmother in front of everyone hurriedly left the birthday banquet, yet she bumped into He Ruiting who had come to attend the feast. As for that unfamiliar man, the first sentence he spoke was, "Miss Su, are you willing to marry me?"
Thinking about that, Su Jinyi shivered.
At that time, she still had her so-called fiancé — — Li Yi. However, at ten o'clock this morning, her so-called fiancé and her sister held a wedding that shocked An City. The word "shock" was naturally because of that wedding.
Now that she thought about it, did that mean that He Ruiting had long since discovered that Li Yi was having an affair with her sister?
Just as Su Jinyi was continuing to let her imagination run wild, the door was pushed open. The sound of leather shoes on the floor was especially loud in this quiet room.
Su Jinyi turned her head and saw He Ruiting walking in.
This man rarely appeared on the television or in the newspapers. If not for the fact that she had a particularly deep impression of He Ruiting from before, Su Jinyi would never have dared to believe that she would actually be standing in front of him again.
The man who was at most twenty-five years old walked over to his desk and sat down, then gestured for Su Jinyi to take a seat.
"Has Miss Su considered?" He Ruiting sat down and asked. Before Su Jinyi had even raised his own question, he had answered her question: "Marry me, and I will help you take back what you deserve."
This was the first time they had met, and was He Ruiting's first suggestion. Unfortunately, at that time, she was too immersed in his own sadness that he didn't take his words to heart, and only felt that he had heard something crazy.
But right now, there was only one voice in Su Jinyi's heart that was shouting frantically, Agree to agree to him!
"I can promise you that, but how do I know that you will do what you've promised?" Su Jinyi suppressed the nervousness in her heart and asked.
"This is not a promise I made to you, but a promise I, He Ruiting, could make."
The man said these arrogant words, but Su Jinyi didn't feel that he was being arrogant.
"Have you considered it?"
Looking at the dazed Su Jinyi, He Ruiting asked once again.
"Good!" I promise you! "
Su Jinyi clenched her fists and looked at He Ruiting without blinking.
She had already been chased out of the Su Family, and no one in An City dared to take her in. She had no job, no money, and no place to go. What right did she have to appear in front of the Su Clan and make them hand over what she deserved?
But the man in front of her, in front of the An City, was able to cover the sky with her hands, so why wouldn't she agree to it if she were to offer this kind of olive branch to her?
"Mm. Let's go." He Ruiting stood up and walked out. Su Jinyi stared at him blankly, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately jogged to catch up.
After following He Ruiting into the carriage, Su Jinyi looked at He Ruiting in puzzlement: "Where are we going now?"
"Take you as my model and accompany me at night to attend a banquet in the name of my He Ruiting's fiancee." He Ruiting moved his gaze away from the computer in his hand, and said to Su Jinyi.
Su Jinyi gasped, the corner of her mouth twitched before hearing herself say: "Me?"
Seeing Su Jinyi's silly look, He Ruiting could not help but chuckle.
Her laughter stu
ed Su Jinyi. He Ruiting, who had appeared in public, did not laugh at all when she looked at the camera, as if his gaze was capable of piercing a person's heart. It was as if no one dared to meet his gaze even if it was on a different screen.
However, the smile on He Ruiting's face made Su Jinyi's heart beat a beat slower.
"We're here." Maybe because he was not used to being stared at like that, He Ruiting turned his head u
aturally.
"Oh!" Su Jinyi lowered her head and glanced outside the window. The biggest and most expensive beauty club in the entire city had appeared before her.
"I'll come pick you up after I'm done. I hope you won't embarrass me." He Ruiting's gaze was still fixated on the computer in front of him, and the indifferent tone made Su Jinyi nod her head.
"Got it." Although she had always been looked down upon in the Su Clan, she had learned all the proper etiquette during banquets. Although that woman, her stepmother, was extremely harsh on her, there were some things that she had to do no matter what. So, she had also learned all the etiquette that her half-sister Su Jingran had learned.
After Su Jinyi got off the car, she handed over a black card from the window. "If they have any questions, tell them to call me."
"Alright!"
After left, Su Jinyi licked her lips, feeling that her ability to speak had decreased in front of He Ruiting.
Upon entering the beauty club, two uniformed Beauticians immediately walked over to greet them.
"Welcome, may I ask if you have our clubhouse membership card?"
Su Jinyi stretched out her hand and held out the black card in front of the Beautician.
"Please follow me, esteemed guest!" When the Beautician saw the card, she immediately said respectfully to Su Jinyi.
"Wait!"
Just as the two of them were walking towards the elevator, a cold voice sounded from behind Su Jinyi.
Su Jinyi turned around and saw a woman she didn't want to see at all — her half-sister Su Jingran.
Su Jingran was extremely astonished to see Su Jingran here.
Today was Su Jingran's first day of marriage. Although the wedding had been ruined by her, she shouldn't even be so anxious to go to this kind of beauty salon without a honeymoon, right? Is this the true love she keeps saying?
The woman who had spoken stood behind Su Jingran, and her demeanor made Su Jinyi shrink back in fear.
This woman was Su Jingran's mother-in-law, a rich lady who prided herself as being of noble status. Usually, she would only mock and ridicule Su Jinyi, and did not even allow Su Jinyi to call her aunt.
