Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 75 The Third Brother Wants to Be Someone's Brother-in-Law
The hotel was brightly lit, as bright as day, which highlighted Su Ruoyun's exquisite makeup. Her eyebrows and eyes were calm and expressionless, leaving everyone around her even more speechless.

Instantly, everyone's mind was in turmoil, and they were all recalling whether they had said anything inappropriate, and whether those words had reached Miss Su's ears.

After all, during the period when the rumors were at their peak, almost everyone in the industry was talking about it, but who knew that the two were actually siblings.

A moment of silence spread through the air, attracting onlookers.

Finally, someone snapped out of their daze and realized that the unusually long silence was a bit strange. They quickly put on a smile and said, "Definitely, definitely, I'll be there to support you."

The plan for 2000... while not as strict as before, with some openings in rural areas, still maintains strict control over personnel in organizations.

With Elder Su and Madam Su in charge, the Su family paid the fine, and Su Zhanqi remained in his original position for another two years, finally putting an end to the matter.

Born under immense pressure, it's clear she's been pampered. Becoming the son-in-law of the Su family would be like climbing a ladder to heaven, allowing one to ascend to the highest level effortlessly.

There were quite a few people who had been eyeing Su Ruoyun, but they had no choice but to give up because of her disappearance.

Now that she has appeared in public, the guests around her look at her with even more fervent eyes, like hungry dogs seeing a bone.

Su Ruoyun, who was being coveted, was pounding with anxiety, but she remained outwardly calm.

Last time when celebrating Lin Shangqing's birthday, she wasn't this much of a focus of attention, but now, everyone's eyes were fixed on her, watching her intently.

At the birthday banquet, countless people were watching Su Ruoyun, but Su Mingyan stood by her side the whole time. Even if others wanted to strike up a conversation, they could only say hello and dared not talk much.

But there are always times when things are forgotten.

"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao." Su Mingyan saw a couple entering the banquet hall and immediately led Su Ruoyun to greet them.

"My parents are still out of town and can't come back right away, so they asked us to come and wish them a happy birthday," Mr. Zhao said.

"..."

After a few brief pleasantries, Su Mingyan turned to the side and gestured to Su Ruoyun beside him, introducing her as, "This is my younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhao nodded politely, and Mrs. Zhao smiled brightly, "Miss Su."

Su Ruoyun responded gracefully, "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao."

After exchanging greetings, Su Mingyan said, "Grandfather is behind us. I'll lead you two over."

As he spoke, he gave Su Ruoyun a meaningful look.

Su Ruoyun stood quietly, watching the three leave. Her eyes followed their receding figures. She saw Mr. Zhao naturally place his hand on Mrs. Zhao's waist. The two leaned on each other, their steps in sync, showing their deep affection.

Su Ruoyun had heard from some rumors that Mrs. Zhao came from an ordinary family, and that her marriage from the local area to the central government was quite a story.

She didn't have time to think much. Seeing Su Mingyan leave, someone boldly walked towards Su Ruoyun with a wine glass in hand.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun's heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong. She was about to slip away when the person quickly walked up to her. After all, this was to celebrate Old Master Su's birthday, so she couldn't keep a cold face. Instead, she put on a gentle smile.

"Miss Su."

"Hello."

...A steady stream of people poured in, and it wasn't until Ms. Ming came out of the women's lounge that Su Ruoyun was finally sent away.

"Grandpa and Grandma are in the back lounge. You can go there first."

Su Ruoyun hurriedly replied "Okay," gathered her skirt, and walked slowly through the crowd.

As soon as she entered the lounge, she heard someone calling her name.

"The boss lady."

Chen Zheyan, with his sharp eyes, spotted Su Ruoyun at a glance. He excitedly greeted her, waved, and smiled broadly, his smile as radiant as that of a lively golden retriever.

As Su Ruoyun approached, he asked again, "Are you here for the birthday banquet today too?"

“Yes, Young Master Chen, I’ll go in first.” Su Ruoyun nodded to him, then nodded slightly to the group of people around her.

As Su Ruoyun stepped over the carved sandalwood screen, the people outside exclaimed that Chen Zheyan was being unfair, "Knowing Miss Su's identity, why didn't you tell us..."

Chen Zheyan held his phone in one hand, the screen instantly flooded with 999+ message notifications. He swiped his finger across the screen to enter a WeChat group, picked up the wine glass beside him with his other hand, brought the rim to his lips, and casually asked, "Miss Su? Who is that?"

He came here to find some peace and quiet. There were all sorts of important people inside, so it wasn't like being in a banquet hall where people would introduce him to girls every few steps. The only downside was that he had to act serious in front of the elders at all times and didn't even dare to play on his phone too much, so he missed the discussions in various groups.

"That's the one who just went in, the proper eldest daughter of the Su family."

Hearing these words and seeing the chat group messages appear before his eyes, Chen Zheyan spat out the drink he was about to swallow and immediately cursed, "Cough cough cough, damn it, didn't we agree—"

It's best not to speak when there are too many people around.

He swallowed the profanity that was about to come out, turning all the frustration in his heart into a silent curse: "MMP."

As his thoughts drifted, Chen Zheyan thought back to his blind date with the eldest daughter of the Su family, whom he had never met. Huo Jingcheng had gone in his place. Now, he realized that the three old men were not so kind. What was this talk of "stealing someone"? They clearly just wanted to become her brother-in-law.

He grew increasingly angry and, in a fit of rage, downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp.

……

Meanwhile, Su Ruoyun gracefully entered the inner room. The light, delicate footsteps seemed to pluck an invisible string in the air, causing the people inside to raise their eyes and turn their gazes toward the doorway.

In the large room, several people sat upright in armchairs, each with a powerful aura and an imposing presence. They were all important figures who frequently appeared in major news stories.

Su Ruoyun remained composed, showing no fear even under the gaze of these people. She smiled slightly, offering a silent yet polite greeting to everyone.

Old Su raised his hand to beckon her over, "Why are you coming in?"

A tea stove sits on the tea table to the side, gently emitting warm steam. The tea in the teapot with the handle is already boiling, making a bubbling sound.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Su Ruoyun stepped forward, casually grabbing a clean handkerchief from the side, and turned to face Grandpa Su, softly replying, "My parents are outside."

She carefully wrapped the handle with a damp cloth, bent down, and gently lifted the teapot. Amber-colored tea flowed from the spout, slowly filling several cups and saucers before she placed the teapot back on the stove.
