Chapter 74: Not A Good Banquet

Su Yu shifted her gaze slightly and glanced coldly at Su Ning’s face.

Su Ning always used all kinds of occasions to stand on the moral high ground and slander her.

This time, she would directly snip her malicious intentions in the bud. Would she still have the ability to distort the truth by then?

At this moment, Su Ning’s expression was abnormally ugly. Many people came back to their senses and looked at her with undisguised disdain.

Su Ning’s lips moved. She opened her mouth a few times to say something but did not know what to say.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away. Her stepmother, Wang Rong, walked over with a kind smile on her face. She went forward and held Su Yu’s hand affectionately.

“Su Yu, come here!”

At the same time, she and Su Ning looked at each other, her eyes filled with comfort.

They had more important plans tonight. They could not ruin their relationship with her now. If their plan today was ruined because of this, they would regret it.

Madam Xiao had seen Su Yu before and was very satisfied with her. She felt that such an outstanding woman was definitely worthy of her son.

Hence, she was abnormally enthusiastic. The moment she came over, she grabbed Su Yu’s other hand. Although she did not say anything, she was smiling.

Su Yu had a gentle personality and would not hit a smiling face. However, her heart sank when she saw Wang Rong appear. She felt that nothing good would happen. Even so, she could not reject Madam Xiao’s kindness and could only let the two of them pull at her.

Wang Rong leaned closer to Madam Xiao and whispered, “Madam Xiao, are you satisfied? If you are, the collaboration we just discussed…”

Actually, Madam Xiao looked down on Wang Rong from the bottom of her heart, but for the sake of her son, she had to be selfish. She replied in an imperceptible voice, “When everything is settled, the rest won’t be a problem.”

Madam Xiao was too satisfied with Su Yu. She kept sizing her up like a mother looking at her daughter-in-law.

Su Yu’s appearance and temperament were absolutely excellent. She could be said to be one in a million. She was peerlessly beautiful. One would be satisfied with her no matter how one looked at her.

Although she doted on her son very much, she could not help but pity Su Yu.

She was a mother, after all. Even though her son was about to die, it was still a blessing that she was able to find a beautiful woman for her son to spend his last days with.

Even if her son died, he would have a companion in the afterlife. As his mother, she would not be left with any regrets in life.

Su Yu looked at Madam Xiao’s attitude and uncomfortable gaze. She was very puzzled.

“Madam Xiao.”

Madam Xiao patted her arm gently and said, “Su Yu, come with me. Let’s find a quiet place to talk.”

Madam Xiao was extremely satisfied with Su Yu and immediately made up her mind.

Through Wang Rong, she knew that Su Yu was terminally ill and did not have many years left. This made her even more suitable for her son.

Due to the situation the two were in, they were almost on the same boat. After they got married, they would have a lot of common topics to talk about. Madam Xiao’s son would also be able to enjoy the company of another person. If things developed well, they might even live and die together.

Su Juntao and Xiao Yunfeng stood on the stage together.

The moment Xiao Yunfeng stood there, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall despite not saying anything. Everyone stopped talking, and the noise in the venue gradually subsided until it was completely silent.

“Thank you for coming today.”

“Actually, a joyous occasion will be announced at tonight’s banquet. It’s about our son’s marriage.”

Xiao Yunfeng had also observed Su Yu’s appearance and temperament. Although he originally had pessimistic thoughts, he was now filled with joy.

It was no secret in Tianhe City that Xiao Yunfeng’s only son was seriously ill and on the verge of death. Everyone who could attend the banquet had their own sources of information, so they naturally knew about it.

Seeing Xiao Yunfeng’s happy expression and hearing that his son was getting married, everyone looked puzzled.

However, in front of the man, they naturally could not say anything. They could only suppress the doubts in their hearts.

“Our child is about to marry the daughter of the Su family. We’ve already discussed this with the Su family!”

Although Xiao Yunfeng was conflicted and did not believe in such superstitions, he still made the decision with some hope.

There was still the possibility, after all.

Even if his son really died, this marriage would be considered as fulfilling his last wish.

He looked at Su Juntao beside him and said, “Mr. Su’s daughter is the same as my son. They both suffer from terminal illnesses and are in the same boat. That’s how they decided to get married.”
