Chapter 171: There is always someone better than you, and there’s always a higher sky above.

Chapter 171: There is always someone better than you, and there’s always a higher sky above.

The woman who suddenly appeared was dressed in a Chanel black and white two-tone suit skirt that had just debuted at Paris Fashion Week not long ago, her skin fair and looking quite young, yet that melon-seed face, which had likely been taken care of since childhood, naturally emitted an air of superiority.

She merely glanced at Jiang Chen and then walked into the private room as if no one else was there.

Upon seeing her, a flicker of panic flashed through Zhong Yongfeng’s eyes, and he instinctively ducked his head, wishing he could hide under the table.

"Zhong Yongfeng, weren’t you just having dinner with a few friends? One, two, three, four, five, six... Was your elementary math taught by a PE teacher?"

Though young, the woman radiated an aura that immediately intimidated everyone in the room.

Knowing he couldn’t hide, Zhong Yongfeng had no choice but to brace himself and look up into the woman’s piercing eyes, smiling awkwardly, "Just now it was only a few people, Sun and the others have only just arrived."

"What are you doing here?"

Sun Xiyu stood up, his composure slipping as he frowned and spoke quite bluntly.

"You wouldn’t answer my calls, so I had to come find you," she said with a radiant smile.

"I’m busy right now."

"Busy with what? Just dining, right? Perfect, I haven’t eaten yet either."

She was completely unfazed by his cold demeanor, her voice even more coquettish.

But to Zhong Yongfeng and his high-society friends, hearing her speak sent shivers down their spines.

They knew all too well what a terrifying soul lay beneath that smiling exterior.

Many had already started thinking about making a hasty retreat.

"It’s not me hosting today, you should go back first."

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran exchanged glances, unsure of the situation at hand.

"Then who is the host?"

The woman’s gaze swept across the table where the arrogant young heirs were either looking down or surveying their surroundings, none daring to meet her eye.

Finally, her gaze inevitably fell on Li Shuru and the other ladies,

Before she could speak, Sun Xiyu stepped forward, blocking her way. The normally graceful Sun Xiyu now disregarded manners and grabbed her slender arm.

"Come with me."

"I won’t!"

The woman struggled fiercely, "Since you’re not the host, you have even less right to kick anyone out."

"It’s someone’s birthday today, don’t make a scene," Sun Xiyu said sternly, lowering his voice.

"Is that so."

The woman, unphased, chuckled, "That’s even better, I should at least wish the birthday person well, shouldn’t I? Who’s the birthday star?"

Li Shuru stood up.

"It’s fine, let’s all eat together."

The woman glanced at her, clearly aware of who the main character was.

"Hello, I’m Shi Qianxi, Xi Yu’s... fiancée."

At the same time, she affectionately hooked her arm around Sun Xiyu’s.

Sun Xiyu could no longer maintain the demeanor of a gentleman, his expression turning extremely unsightly as he shook off her hand and rebuked, "Shi Qianxi, stop talking nonsense!"

"When have I ever spoken nonsense?"

This Miss Shi was truly a formidable woman, not caring at all about maintaining a lady’s modesty, clinging tightly to Sun Xiyu’s arm without letting go.

"My parents and Uncle Sun have all agreed, I am your fiancée."

Though everyone present was a close friend of Sun Xiyu, not a soul dared to step forward in this moment.

Jiang Chen of course hadn’t heard of the infamous Shi Family witch, witnessing the scene before him, he could only sigh at the unfairness of fate.

Probably those sycophants who toiled away could never imagine a woman being so proactive, could they?

Fiancée?

Zheng Jingjing’s eyes widened, momentarily confused by what Sun Xiyu was plotting.

If he already had a fiancée, why was he bothering Shu Rui?

Li Shuru appeared unfazed, her face showing no sign of disturbance, "I’ll ask the waiter to add a chair."

"I’ll go."

Xu Siyi stood up, her gaze towards Sun Xiyu and Shi Qianxi filled with curiosity.

It was obvious.

She too was taken aback by such a scene.

"Excuse me, is this where the cake was ordered?"

Finally.

The cake ordered by Jiang Chen arrived.

Zheng Jingjing felt that Jiang Chen was stingy, but she truly wronged him; at least the cake delivered came from Black Swan.

As everyone knows, a casual cake from Black Swan could cost tens of thousands, not to mention that this was a double-layered one.

"Yes, come in."

The delivery boy, who could be mistaken for a male model, carried the cake in with caution, easing the unusual atmosphere in the private room slightly.

But this birthday was destined not to be ordinary.

"Wow, is this a blood diamond?"

Shortly after the delivery boy left, Shi Qianxi suddenly noticed the Medusa’s Eye placed on the table, uncollected by Li Shuru, and not yet reclaimed by Sun Xiyu.

Sun Xiyu’s expression drastically changed, and he was about to intervene, but Shi Qianxi had already let go of his arm and strode over first.

The Shi Family’s young miss was not as cautious as Xu Siyi; she reached out and took the blood diamond lying in the pearwood box, holding it up in mid-air to examine it closely.

"How beautiful..."

The gentlemen in the room were all trembling with fear, worried that the young lady might carelessly let go and drop the diamond on the floor.

"Whose is this?"

Shi Qianxi turned her head.

"Put it down."

Although Sun Xiyu casually took it out to give it away, it was apparent that he also treasured this blood diamond.

"Xi Yu, is it yours?"

Shi Qianxi looked at him as if recalling something.

"Oh right, I think I heard auntie mention that she has a blood diamond in her collection, intending to give it to her future daughter-in-law. Is it this one?"

Sun Xiyu clenched his fist.

The other scions had strange expressions on their faces.

It was from the collection of Sun Xiyu’s mother, and it was intended as a gift for his future wife.

No wonder.

They had felt it was strange earlier.

The young master Sun had not yet taken over the family business and shouldn’t have such financial means.

Although there is nothing wrong with giving away something from his own family, still...

...did his mother agree to it?

"It’s none of your business; put the thing down!"

Sun Xiyu’s face was as dark as water.

"Why is it none of my business? You secretly took something auntie was planning to give me, and you think you’re in the right?"

The development of the situation was somewhat unexpected for Jiang Chen, but the thick-skinned Miss Shi also truly amazed him.

There really is always someone better out there.

He couldn’t help but feel inferior.

"When did my mom say she was giving it to you?"

Sun Xiyu, while well-disciplined and with good composure, was not a saint. Under Shi Qianxi’s repeated pressure, he finally lost control of his emotions.

"This is a birthday gift I’m giving to someone. Put it down!"

Upon hearing this.

The smile that Shi Qianxi had maintained on her face finally dissipated, and her elegant melon-seed-shaped face showed a coldness that made the hearts of gentlemen like Zhong Yongfeng thump wildly.

"A birthday gift? Is it for her?"

Sun Xiyu did not answer.

"Fine, I’ll help you give it to her."

She walked towards Li Shuru, wearing globally limited-edition heels, and even on high heels, she was almost the same height as Li Shuru, but her eyes conveyed an unmistakable condescension.

"This gift is a bit heavy, catch it well."

She narrowed her eyes and then stretched out her milky-colored hand.

Li Shuru’s pupils constricted, sensing something was wrong; just as she was about to catch it, the other party’s mouth corners lifted, revealing a mocking curve, and suddenly, her fingers splayed open.

"Crack!"

A crisp and startling sound quickly rose,

and everyone was stupefied!
