Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Making Things Difficult for Her, Can It Bring Benefits?

She gazed at Ding Kai Ze’s sizable silhouette, silently contemplating.

What a transformation the reform has brought, the people of Hua Country are becoming more and more impressive. Citizens are living in peace and contentment, their quality of life is ever-improving.

To think that one could eat themselves into such a state, she had nothing but criticism, and yet somewhat envied him. Because the food she consumed didn’t seem to fulfill its intended purpose.

Eating without gaining weight, Su Wanxin always felt that she was wasting food.

She looked at Ding Kai Ze’s appearance, and after recalling his name and status, Su Wanxin couldn’t help but lower her head and smile quietly.

Shen Xiaochen is really pitiable! To have to marry a man like this? She must wake up crying at night, right?

Ding Kai Ze’s small eyes fixated on Su Wanxin. He clearly saw her lower her head and let out a soft laugh upon seeing him, and subconsciously thought she was mocking him.

Ding Kai Ze sneered coldly, shook his large belly, and turned to look for his fiancée.

Shen Xiaochen had been wanting to keep her distance from him all day, but the situation didn’t permit it. Their engagement party was on Thursday, just three days away, and today was for a united public appearance.

Shen Xiaochen steeled herself and hooked her arm through Ding Kai Ze’s. Wearing high heels, she towered above him quite a bit. Standing beside Ding Kai Ze with her slender figure, she did manage to appear demure and dependent.

The two approached Su Wanxin with insincere smiles plastered on their faces.

Su Wanxin reminded herself to stay calm and not to laugh out loud. Although she admitted to being superficial, she couldn’t be so obviously disrespectful as to mock someone’s fiancé in front of so many people.

Shen Xiaochen, seeing her struggling to hold back laughter, felt even more displeased. If it weren’t for the crowd watching, she would’ve slapped Su Wanxin hard numerous times!

Since the last incident at the Shen Family’s hotel, where Su Wanxin was nearly assaulted by someone sent by Sun Tianran, there have been rumors that Shen Xiaochen was the instigator.

So today, in order to create the impression of a cordial relationship with Su Wanxin, Shen Xiaochen had to hold back and not give herself away.

"Wanwan, what a coincidence, you’re here too? Isn’t today’s event only open to those with at least the rank of deputy director in their company?"

Shen Xiaochen greeted Su Wanxin with apparent warmth, but her words were laden with irony—

Don’t you have any shame, stepping out of your league like this?

Su Wanxin caught the hidden meaning in her words and responded with a carefree smile, "Indeed, quite the coincidence."

Su Wanxin artfully dodged the question, which made Shen Xiaochen somewhat anxious. Just as Shen Xiaochen was about to press further, she felt Ding Kai Ze’s short, chubby hand squeeze her buttock, causing her to stiffen in shock.

"Miss Su, today’s banquet is hosted by Kairun Group, and if I’m not mistaken, it seems we never sent you an invitation."

Ding Kai Ze asked with a mocking smile.

"How did you manage to get in?"

Su Wanxin sighed. Was it necessary to be so confrontational at their first meeting? It seems that Ding Kai Ze really likes Shen Xiaochen, which is why he is so eager to show off his power in front of her.

Unfortunately, is he using the wrong approach? Is he sure that making things difficult for her will win him any favors?

Su Wanxin took a casual sip of her red wine and said nonchalantly, "Oh, so it’s the host. My apologies."
