Chapter 20

I Only Want Him

The discussion in the banquet hall gradually shifted to another topic, with someone mentioning a newly emerging force.

"Qiu Yi".

"Have you heard? That 'Qiu Yi' is gaining momentum, and his main battleground is all overseas."

"Overseas? That's a tough nut to crack. Most of us are focused on the domestic market. The overseas market is too murky, and we don't dare to touch it easily."

"That's what makes President Shen so remarkable."

Someone secretly glanced in Shen Yi's direction.

"Besides his ruthless methods, he also controls some overseas industries, and even if it's not much, it's enough to make people wary."

The topic circled back to "Qiu Yi," and everyone's faces showed more curiosity and inquiry: "Speaking of which, who exactly is the boss of 'Qiu Yi'? I heard he's very mysterious, and very few people have seen his face."

"I don't know if it's a man or a woman."

"Not only have we never seen him, but it's also incredibly difficult to even make a connection." Someone sighed. "Families like the Lu and Su extended olive branches as soon as Qiu Yi emerged, but we haven't heard a single word from them yet."

Master Su nodded in agreement, his tone tinged with regret:

"I sent a birthday party invitation to the boss behind 'Qiu Yi' a while ago, but no one showed up."

All eyes turned to Shen Yi, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Shen, have you received a response from 'Qiu Yi'?"

Shen Yi was also involved in overseas business, and Qiu Yi's appearance was a good springboard.

I definitely won't miss it.

Shen Yi held his wine glass, his fingertips gently tracing the rim, and uttered a few words softly: "We'll meet."

While everyone was still discussing whether the boss of "Qiu Yi" was being too disrespectful.

A figure walked slowly into the banquet hall against the light.

"Su Qiu?!" Su Qian's voice suddenly rose, sharp with disbelief, "Who let her in?!"

Everyone present looked up at the sound and froze as if they had seen a ghost.

Su Qiu?

How is she still alive?

After all, she hadn't shown her face for a week.

Everyone knows she hit Su Qian, and it caused quite a stir online.

Given how much Shen Yi cared about Su Qian, he should have been thoroughly punished long ago.

How could it possibly appear here unharmed?

This scene surprised some people and made them reconsider their views.

I sensed something unusual.

What's even more shocking is her outfit.

She wore a sharply tailored black dress, clearly a haute couture piece from a luxury brand.

It's not just because it's expensive, but also because the designers are eccentric and unlikely to easily make private custom orders.

Worth hundreds of millions, it accentuated her tall and slender figure, giving her a cool and aloof demeanor, making her more eye-catching than any of the other carefully dressed socialites present.

When Su Qian saw Su Qiu like this, all eyes were drawn to the suddenly appearing Su Qiu.

Su Qiu remained indifferent, as if she hadn't heard Su Qian's scream. Her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Shen Yi.

Shen Yi tightened his grip on the wine glass, feeling the icy touch of the glass.

His body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment.

What the hell is this woman doing here?

Shen Yi stared intently at Su Qiu, and suddenly Su Qiu's words came to mind: "As long as Su Qian doesn't provoke me, I'll let Su Qian go..."

Did Su Qian offend Su Qiu?

When?

A hint of worry flashed in Shen Yi's eyes.

When the members of the Su and Lu families saw Su Qiu, their faces instantly darkened, their eyes filled with disgust.

Those who were usually on good terms with the Su and Lu families also spoke up, their tone harsh:

"A jinx is a jinx, how dare he come here?"

"The clothes and accessories they wear are probably stolen, or obtained through some shady means!"

"She must have sneaked in. Where's security? Drag her out!"

When Lu Chen saw Su Qiu arrive, he found that this woman was much more pleasing to the eye than before, and she didn't seem so timid anymore.

Her confidence and strength, on the contrary, piqued his interest.

Who else could Su Qiu be at her mother's birthday party for besides herself?

She still can't forget herself.

I love myself to the point of obsession.

When the security guards arrived and tried to take the person away...

Su Qiu took out a gold-embossed invitation from her handbag and handed it to the waiter, saying calmly, "I am here by invitation."

"It's fake! It's definitely stolen!" someone immediately retorted, their tone certain.

And that invitation was indeed sent out by the Lu family.

Mr. Lu said, "It is indeed an invitation from my Lu family, but we did not invite Miss Su Qiu."

In one sentence, Su Qiu was doomed.

There was no invitation letter, but Su Qiu had one, so the only possible outcome was...

It was stolen.

Xiao Xitian's mind exploded: "Damn it, is this the power the male and female leads have? This is disgusting! Host, beat them up!"

Looking at the ugly faces of this group of people, Su Qiu suddenly laughed, but the laughter didn't reach her eyes:

"Since you're so unwelcoming, there's really no need to meet again in the future."

Their rejection of me makes me very unhappy.

Nobody took her words seriously.

Hiding behind Lu Chen, Su Qian said timidly, "Su Qiu, don't be like this... it's scary... We're still very happy that your sister came, but you can't steal..."

Xiao Xitian: "Steal your sister! You damn female lead, when did you become such a green tea bitch?! Your intelligence? You act like a wise woman!"

Mrs. Su feigned sadness, saying, "It's all our fault. We didn't raise Su Qiu well. She was quite well-behaved when she was little, but I don't know what's wrong with her now..."

Lu Chen added, "Su Qiu, I know you love me, but you need to know that my only fiancée is Su Qian. Don't be so persistent."

Su Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Xiao Xitian: "Host, this male lead is disgusting! You killed him so easily last time!"

Upon receiving a signal from Mr. Lu, the two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab Su Qiu's arm:

"Miss, please leave."

This is clearly an attempt to drive people away.

If they don't leave, they'll take action.

Su Qiu raised her eyes, her gaze suddenly turning cold, her voice carrying an undeniable chill:

"I came here today only for one person."

Lu Chen slightly raised his chin. Although Su Qiu was not his fiancée, he would still consider her because she had become more beautiful.

He was still happy to hear her confession.

"I only want him."

Everyone looked in the direction Su Qiu was pointing and were shocked.

Shen Yi?!

What happened?

Lu Chen was also taken aback. Wasn't it for his sake?

Su Qian was also taken aback, wondering what Su Qiu meant.

Shen Yi frowned slightly. This woman was crazy; she actually came to the banquet to find him.

Shen Yi also subconsciously thought that Su Qiu's invitation was stolen or obtained through other means.

Su Qian looked at Su Qiu, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you sick? Shen Yi has nothing to do with you, why are you looking for him?"

Su Qiu ignored Su Qian, not even sparing her a glance, and walked towards Shen Yi.

The clicking of high heels was exceptionally clear in the quiet banquet hall.

It reached everyone's ears.

It also touched Shen Yi's heart.
