Chapter 719: 0709 Yong City’s Number One Socialite

Fu Qixiu made a shushing gesture and closed his mouth.

Upstairs, Old Master Fu watched the two women who were wearing the same dress, a trace of keen brilliance flickered in his shrewd eyes.

The guests in the banquet hall all recovered from their shock and began to discuss among themselves.

"That’s the eldest Miss of the Chu family, right?! The legendary top belle of Yong City."

"Yes, the eldest daughter from the second branch of the Chu family, the future head of the family."

"Didn’t she go abroad for further studies? Why did she come back all of a sudden?"

"What’s so strange about her return? She grew up with the great young master of the Fu family, the childhood sweethearts, and is even the fiancée handpicked by Old Master Fu."

"Today’s banquet is obviously meant for Old Master Fu to pick a wife for his grandson. How could his earmarked grand-daughter-in-law be absent?"

"I see, doesn’t that mean there’s no chance for the rest of us?"

"What are you still daydreaming about at a time like this? The two families have long intended to be related by marriage; the purpose of hosting this banquet is probably to announce their marriage."

Su Ran’s eyebrows lifted slightly, a glint of realization flashed in her eyes.

So, this was the Miss Chu mentioned by Fu Yizhi?

Indeed, a rare beauty!

The eldest Miss Chu slowly approached the trio, and before she could speak, Fu Yizhi beat her to it.

"Sister Chu."

Chu Xiyao was taken aback for a moment. It seemed to take her a while to remember who the girl was.

But her face showed no embarrassment, and her tone was very gentle.

"Yizhi, it’s been a while, haven’t you?"

Fu Yizhi nodded and said, "Very good, how about you, Sister Chu? You just hurried back from abroad yesterday."

Fu Yizhi’s words caused Chu Xiyao’s expression to stiffen slightly.

On the sidelines, Su Ran couldn’t help wanting to laugh. She was sure that Fu Yizhi had no hidden implications in her words.

But while the speaker might have no intention, the listener might read into them, and what landed in Chu Xiyao’s ears was probably quite different!

Chu Xiyao probably thought that Fu Yizhi was mocking her—mocking her for rushing back from abroad only yesterday and hurrying to the banquet today.

This was a huge misunderstanding!

Chu Xiyao forced a smile. Fu Yizhi, seemingly oblivious to the look on her face, excitedly introduced Su Ran to her.

"Sister Chu, this is a friend I just met. Isn’t Sister Su beautiful?"

Chu Xiyao glanced over Su Ran without paying much attention and then turned to look at Fu Qixiu.

"Qi Xiu, it’s been a long time."

Seeing that Chu Xiyao was ignoring her, Fu Yizhi pouted unhappily.

Su Ran laughed softly, gently pinched the little girl’s face, and then her eyes narrowed, observing the woman in front of her.

Her keen intuition told her there was something off about this woman.

Her gaze was filled with arrogance and disdain.

It was an innate sense of superiority, as if she looked down on everyone in her heart.

Although she hid it well, it was still captured by Su Ran.

Fu Qixiu’s expression was less enthusiastic, and his tone was calm and unemotional.

"Welcome back to the country."

Chu Xiyao didn’t seem to mind. Her eyes carried an insistent pressure as she looked at Su Ran beside him.

"Aren’t you going to introduce us?"

With one sentence, she paired him and Su Ran together.

Fu Qixiu frowned slightly and introduced to Su Ran, "Chu Xiyao."

Then he fell silent!

Seeing that Fu Qixiu had no intention of introducing her to the other party, Chu Xiyao’s face showed she was struggling to keep up appearances!

She forced a smile, extended her hand to Su Ran, and said directly.

"Hello, Chu Xiyao."

Su Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, took her hand, and replied with a smile:

"Su Ran."
