Chapter 173: 173 Lady of Distinction

At this time, many people wanted to slip away.

Such as Zhong Yongfeng and these young masters.

But they didn’t dare.

After all, who knew whether Shi Qianxi, that crazy woman, would hold a grudge over this?

So even though they knew this kind of scene wasn’t so pleasant to witness, these young masters could only stay put obediently in their seats, as if sitting on pins and needles.

"May we serve the dishes now?"

A female waitress walked in.

Nobody spoke.

Who the heck was in the mood to eat at a time like this?

"Go ahead."

The room fell silent, and Jiang Chen spoke up, nodding to the waitress as if nothing had happened.

Everyone unconsciously shifted their gaze toward him.

Shi Qianxi was no exception.

"Who are you?"

The heiress, who would nonchalantly smash a diamond worth over a hundred million, finally narrowed her eyes and asked, formally sizing up the young man who had just opened the door for her.

She was unfamiliar with this face; it didn’t seem like she had ever seen him before, and he didn’t look like a friend of Sun Xiyu.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay her any attention, casually smiling at Li Shuru and saying, "It’s okay, let’s eat first."

Li Shuru slowly turned her head.

Jiang Chen gave her a gentle smile and nodded.

When had Miss Shi ever been ignored like this?

Seeing that he treated her as if she were air, the face that one would usually consider a feast for the eyes suddenly turned cold, watching them sit back at the table.

"Jiang Chen, what should we do? That diamond was so expensive, if they insist on Shu Rui compensating for it..."

Zheng Jingjing was anxious, her personal grievances with Jiang Chen forgotten in the face of the crisis.

"Afraid of what? It’s just her word against ours, we all saw that the diamond fell from her hand onto the ground."

"But these kinds of things, they’re not easy to clear up."

"I once saw in the news, a customer at a jewelry store was trying on a bracelet, and when the sales assistant handed it to her, she didn’t catch it and it fell on the floor and broke, and in the end, she still had to pay half."

"Isn’t it just half?"

Jiang Chen’s tone was still relaxed.

Zheng Jingjing was about to burst, just about to say something when Xu Siyi interjected, her eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

"If that young master wasn’t lying, that blood diamond is worth over a hundred million, and even if not that much, at least tens of millions. Half of that is still a lot to pay."

"Is that just a lot?!"

Zheng Jingjing was beside herself with concern, emphasizing anxiously, "Tens of millions! Even if we sold ourselves, we couldn’t afford it!"

"This Sun Xiyu, why is he like this, clearly having a fiancée, yet still provoking Shu Rui, and even taking out his family’s items to give away."

Guo Ran couldn’t help but lay the blame on Sun Xiyu.

If it weren’t for him, they wouldn’t have encountered such a huge trouble.

Jiang Chen glanced at the prestigious young master, not taking the opportunity to kick a man while he’s down. Instead, magnanimously disregarding past offenses, he said, "Don’t blame him, he probably didn’t want this to happen either."

"You’re actually defending him?"

Zheng Jingjing was incredulous.

"Just sticking to the facts."

The waitress obviously wouldn’t be aware of the situation inside the private room, and soon dish after dish of delicious food was served on the table.

At this point, Jiang Chen demonstrated his strong psychological resilience, casually inviting everyone, "Let’s eat."

Shi Qianxi sneered.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Nobody picked up their chopsticks.

Jiang Chen paid no mind and began to eat on his own.

Even Li Shuru, the birthday girl, seemed to have no appetite. In the entire private room, with nearly twenty people, only he was eating.

"Who is he?"

Shi Qianxi asked.

Sun Xiyu’s expression was as still as water, offering no answer.

Clearly, today’s birthday celebration was completely ruined by him. No matter what the outcome, it seemed unlikely that there would be any future possibilities between him and Li Shuru.

"Shi Qianxi, rest assured, I will absolutely not marry you."

Sun Xiyu spoke in a low voice, uncertain if he was informing Shi Qianxi or reminding himself.

"Is that so?"

Shi Qianxi laughed rather than getting angry, looking like a femme fatale eyeing the doomed Tang Sanzang.

"Do you really think that what you say counts? My dear Mr. Sun."

Sun Xiyu clenched his fists tightly.

This might well be the tragedy of being born into a prestigious and influential family.

What one gains, one also stands to lose.

The freedom in love and marriage that ordinary people enjoy was, for him, a luxury.

The words he had spoken to Li Shuru earlier were indeed all lies; his parents had not agreed, nor would they ever agree to him dating an ordinary girl.

He could only make a desperate play by securing Li Shuru first, then trying to persuade his parents.

But reality rarely conforms to one’s desires.

The appearance of the unhinged Shi Qianxi shattered his last grasp at happiness. The thought of his family forcing him to marry this woman made Sun Xiyu feel that his future was shrouded in darkness.

"Can you really eat at a time like this?"

Zheng Jingjing had to admit she was impressed.

However, at a time like this, the fact that he hadn’t fled the scene was quite commendable.

"With so many dishes, it would be wasteful not to eat. The taste is really good; no wonder it’s famous. Want to try?"

Jiang Chen ate with relish.

Seemingly influenced by him, Li Shuru also picked up her chopsticks.

Seeing the other party still eating calmly, Shi Qianxi’s smile took on an increasingly malicious curve.

Eat up.

After today, you might not have another chance.

No one knew how much time had passed, but for sons of wealth like Zhong Yongfeng, it was probably the most excruciating period they had ever endured. Just when they began to contemplate whether they should employ the arcane skill of "escape by pretending to use the restroom," the door to the private room was pushed open once again.

A mature woman of charm and grace walked in, followed by a man in a suit who was likely the driver.

The haughty Shi Qianxi, as if seeing a relative, immediately ran over affectionately. As if it were an accident, she knocked over the still unopened two-layered cake to the floor.

"Clang..."

The cake inside toppled instantly, the cream smeared into a mess.

Jiang Chen, who had nearly finished eating, turned and looked at the cake on the floor, finally frowning slightly.

"Auntie!"

Shi Qianxi, acting as if nothing had happened, ran to the side of the dignified middle-aged woman and sweetly called out, "Auntie!" demure and adorable, with no trace of her earlier arrogance.

The poised woman, who exuded the essence of nobility, gave her a kind smile and then swept her gaze around the private room.

Zhong Yongfeng and the other unruly young masters no longer dared to sit. They all stood up dutifully as one, echoing Shi Qianxi and simultaneously calling out, "Auntie Feng," in a restrained manner.

At any other time, these rich young men, accustomed to living life in the fast lane, would not have shown such respect for their elders.

The dignified woman’s surname was Feng, her full name Feng Chengcheng. Yes, the same name as the heroine of a wildly popular movie from years back set in East Sea. However, while the movie’s heroine was the daughter of a gang leader, this woman was the wife of a business tycoon.

"Mom."

Sun Xiyu also called out, his face stiff, his voice rough.

Feng Chengcheng looked at him, her brow and eyes exuding elegance and her demeanor authoritative.

"Where is the blood diamond?"
