Chapter 479: Chapter 483: Rebirth in the Apocalypse (20)

During this trip to Capital City, in actuality, Su Li didn’t have much to do. The primary reason they were summoned here was simply because the old gentleman wanted to see her.

As for Su Fugui, due to his connection with Su Guosheng, he was openly brought alongside him and got to meet quite a few powerful figures.

After Su Guosheng introduced him to the uppermost circle, he did not shrink back but instead thrived like a fish in water, completely at ease and happy.

To enter the top echelons of Hua Country’s elite, one essentially had to be extremely shrewd.

Even though Su Fugui himself was one of the top business minds in Hua Country, in their eyes, his status still wasn’t impressive.

But having their ears everywhere, they naturally knew right away when the old man had seen him.

Even if they could not fathom the reason, they were still generous with their amiable smiles.

Su Fugui was also extremely formidable. He didn’t need these people to offer him much support; this was enough for him.

These individuals represented an attitude that was vital for the development of his business.

The mid-level and grassroots cadres below couldn’t understand all the intricacies; to others, it looked like Su Fugui had an excellent relationship with the top tycoons.

Su Fugui was beaming with joy every day, to the point that he even neglected his daughter.

Su Li was happy to seek her own pleasures.

The historical flavor of Capital City in this world was extraordinarily rich, unmarred by the humiliating history of other small worlds. The relics passed down from the ancient ancestors were exceptionally well-preserved.

Walking in the alleys felt like traveling through hallways of history.

Su Li, on her own, thoroughly enjoyed exploring the place.

What she didn’t know yet was that her name was already being passed around in whispers among the daughters of esteemed families.

Speaking of which, the reason for this had to be attributed to Chen Yuanyuan. Had it not been for her commotion, others wouldn’t have even been aware of Su Li’s existence.

Chen Yuanyuan could not accept being jilted by Su Shaoqing.

To really analyze her state of mind, she actually couldn’t accept that it was he who had initiated the breakup.

Though she constantly lamented her insecurities and envied her own sister, deep down, she had always had a clear sense of self-awareness.

In fact, she was quite outstanding, even more so than all the others.

It was just that the sympathy and pity she received from others, when she was indulging in self-pity, pleased her more, that was all.

Just as all her past successes had confirmed this point.

The love of her parents, the compassion from others, and Su Shaoqing, the eldest heir of the Su family, had also fallen into her net with just a little scheming, becoming her fiancé.

This was the man her much-praised sister could only secretly adore in her heart.

Therefore, Chen Yuanyuan wouldn’t consider any other possibilities; she merely thought that the vixen she had seen that day must have seduced Su Shaoqing.

Because of her widespread gossip, many knew of Su Li’s existence.

But the others were not the brainless sort like Chen Yuanyuan—they listened, yes, but nobody was prepared to be the first to provoke trouble.

Moreover, those girls who also had their eyes on Su Shaoqing occupied different positions and knew many more privileged details than Chen Yuanyuan.

Some knew that though Su Li was just a merchant’s daughter, her father was very capable and had excellent relations with all the bigshots.

Her ties with the Su family were also incredibly close.

Of course, there were a few who knew the relationship between Su Shaoqing and Su Li.

Those fools, hadn’t they noticed that the two shared the same surname?

Of course, such fools are everywhere.

Comparatively, fools with hidden agendas are just not as conspicuously dumb as Chen Yuanyuan.

Due to various reasons pulling in opposite directions, no one disturbed Su Li’s mood.

Naturally, Su Li had no idea that just one encounter had inspired a drama in many people’s minds.

Chen Yuanyuan was crying her eyes out, throwing a tantrum in her bedroom.

These vile women joyfully spread her petty gossip, so why did they all turn into duds when it came to someone else?

Women always seem to find pleasure in making life difficult for other women. Chen Yuanyuan was determined to cause trouble for Su Li, but who would have thought that, while everything was staged for it, they wouldn’t follow the script?

Losing her wits, Chen Yuanyuan went directly to confront Su Li.

Su Shaoqing was nowhere to be found, yet Su Li’s whereabouts were far from secret.

------------------

Su Li was squinting her eyes, enjoying the lovely afternoon tea, when a shadow abruptly appeared above her head.

Before she could look up, a grievously weeping beautiful girl clasped her hands together in a panic, piteously saying to Su Li, "Miss Su, I truly love Shaoqing, please let us be together?"

"We’re already engaged, about to be married. Because of your arrival, Shaoqing wants to break off our engagement... I’m begging you."

The weeping beauty in a white dress not only drew instant pity from anyone who saw her but also dropped a bombshell of information that made everyone around prick up their ears with keen interest.

Damn, what a juicy piece of gossip!!!

Chen Yuanyuan secretly gloated; she had purposefully chosen a crowded time to come forward, knowing that people have an innate tendency to sympathize with the underdog.

Sure enough, the glances directed at Su Li were tinged with disapproval.

But Su Li laughed. To bring such an unrefined scheme before her was sheer audacity – who had given her such confidence?

The act of a white lotus, the manipulations of a sly vixen – Su Li had torn apart plenty of them.

"You, yes, you... What was that look you just gave me? Do it again, let me see."

Su Li casually pointed to a man sitting in the seat beside her, her demeanor arrogant and defiant, fully embodying someone brazen and imperious.

The man’s facial expression had yet to fade, full of sympathy for Chen Yuanyuan and contempt for Su Li.

His girlfriend was sitting opposite him, too slow to react to Su Li’s sudden aggression.

Caught off-guard by Su Li’s direct call-out, the man stammered, "Wh-what?"

"Do you pity the lady over there?"

"Well, here’s your chance to disdain me openly."

Su Li carelessly toyed with her fingernails, then pouted her lips, signaling the man to hurry up.

The man’s girlfriend looked displeased but thoughtful, clearly, the instinct to discern a woman’s schemes was innate, and she hadn’t initially noticed anything amiss in her boyfriend’s demeanor.

"Are you crazy?"

Su Li frowned, "Come on, show me that expression again, or... I’ll start bullying that lady across the way. Don’t feel bad, alright?"

The lady across the way, Chen Yuanyuan: "....."

"You’re completely unreasonable! It’s obvious that you’re the shameless one, and now you plan to bully her..."

The man’s words resonated with many in the crowd, most of whom were fellow men.

"Xiao Zhi, let’s break up." The man hadn’t snapped out of his righteous indignation, playing the hero set to vanquish Su Li on behalf of justice when suddenly he heard his girlfriend across the way speak like that, nearly biting his own tongue off in shock.
