"Jin . " A wide grin appeared on the still delicate face of Su Linyu as she approached him while holding her half-filled champagne gla.s.s .

Xiu Jin subtly smiled and recognized her in a professional manner . "Madam Zhou . "

"I didn't expect to see you here . Why do you sound so formal?" She was keeping the conversation casual .

"A drink, Sir?" A waiter came with a tray of wines and c.o.c.ktails .

Xiu Jin took a gla.s.s of rum mix . "Thank you . "

"I thought you would send your son . It's not like you to bother with events like this . " She inched towards him and tilted her head and shoulder to almost lean against him, showing a good view of her bosoms from her off-shoulder burgundy gown .

Xiu Jin furrowed his brows in discomfort . "Then you don't know me well . " he answered .

Su Linyu had a sly smile . She brushed her fingers along the shoulder area of his coat . "Can you enlighten me then?"

"I believe that what you know is enough . " He looked towards a distance and pretended to have seen someone important . "Ah! Excuse me, Madam Zhou . I just need to . . . " his voice trailed as he strode to escape the flirting .

He was forced to initiate a conversation with the most irritating businessman in City S .

Su Linyu's face contorted . It was clear that he was avoiding her . She strengthened her back as she gulped the rest of the contents in her gla.s.s .

Gazing intently on her fair smooth back were the eyes of Chairman Song, full of l.u.s.t .

In the world of the elites, Su Linyu is already considered a rich single lady again, since her husband's recovery is very slim . A lot of widowers and divorcees are already eying the chairperson of ZFC .

The latest wife of Chairman Song is Madeline's mother, but it was just for the papers . In order to make his daughter legitimated, with the help of some bribes here and there, he needed to marry a mistress whom he had considered a stranger for more than a decade . He had no child on his first legal wife, and the rest of his children from other mistresses were not too smart . He planned to use his half-Caucasian daughter for a marriage to expand his business . However, since he did not plan to actually treat her mother as his wife, he sent her back to Country E, with the premise that she could not tolerate the culture in City S .

After Madeline's engagement ceremony to Verdan Zhou, he became complacent about the future of his business . During the ceremony, his eyes were fixated on his 'soon-to-be in-law . '

Su Linyu is indeed beautiful . In fact, she does not look her age . There was definitely nothing wrong with her qualifications . It was just Xiu Jin could only treat her as a sister .

Xiu Jin finally excused himself after enduring listening to how the businessman's submarine could doc.u.ment the mating of sea creatures . He had had it with all the fake smiles .

It was just that, he had no choice . When they were young, he knew that Su Linyu had feelings for him, but the naive him was in denial about it, until he met his wife and had to hurt his fiancée .

He was actually relieved when Su Linyu married into the Zhou family . He felt less guilty . At least she married into a good family .

Su Linyu was startled when Chairman Song suddenly spoke from behind her .

"It's been awhile, Linyu . How are the preparations for the wedding?"

She quickly changed her mortified expression into a surprised one before facing him .

"Chairman Song . All preparations had already started . Do you wish to change anything?"

Though she agreed to make this man her in-law, she actually finds him disgusting . He had always looked at her as if she was naked in his imagination . Whenever he visits her mansion, he would always hint of wanting to come into her bedroom . Though she feels like she is single again, she only wanted Xiu Jin . This viper could attack her when she had her guard down .

She swallowed some saliva and flashed her bright smile . "Have you eaten? Can I get anything for you?" She wanted to flee towards the buffet table without offending the man .

"A dessert or two will do . " He eyed her meaningfully .

Su Linyu subconsciously stepped back . Something inside her told her she should stay away . After two steps, her back landed on a st.u.r.dy chest . Her eyes flickered at the sight .
