Chapter 142: The Princess and the Prince
At the beginning of the lanterns, the neon lights at night dyed the night sky of Cloud City into a colorful appearance, but in the eyes of everyone, the night is the real dazzling moment of Cloud City.
The cloud city lurking under the neon light and shadow is as brilliant as day.
However, above it, the gloomy dark clouds obscured the stars and moon in the sky, so oppressive that people could never change their breath.
Located on the main road in the center of the city, the luxury cars that are hurrying by at the moment look like ants following the fishy sweet smell of nesting out from a distance, all rushing towards a place, impatient for fear that they will lose a piece of cake when it is late.
On the biggest screen in the city center, Su Ru's shocking face appeared in front of the world, attracting hurried pedestrians who passed by couldn't help but stop one after another.
"Is she the eldest lady of the Su family who came back from the dead?"
"Yes, and it's not just that, I also heard that she is also Chen Shao's only lover, oh my God, it's just an idol romance drama, the lover comes back from the dead, the lovers reunite, oh my God, it's so beautiful, right? If she debuts and becomes a star, she will be a real-life version of the heroine! ”
"Yes, I was still thinking about what kind of woman is compatible with Chen Shao, as soon as I saw her, I understood everything, and only a woman like her can match Chen Shao."
"Hey, who says it's not, if I can have her looks and temperament, I'm afraid I can wake up laughing in my dreams, hey, it's really more popular than people, people are really kissed by God."
For a time, up and down Cloud City, everyone knew Su Ru's name, and no one knew it.
This is a grand meeting gift from Chen Cheng to Su Ru, and it is all his tenderness to Su Ru.
But the honey of A, the cream of B. Whether it is such gentleness or romance, it always has sharp thorns, but this spike is not pierced by Su Ru on the altar, but deeply into Su Jiarui's heart.
Whether she likes or loves her that hasn't broken through the ground, in the end, with the arrival of Su Ru, it has once again become a matter that cannot be revealed.
Maybe from the beginning, she shouldn't have any illusions about this feeling, this is a punishment given to her by God, because she covets people and things that don't belong to her, such a punishment, she can only knock out her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.
Those celebrities and gentlemen who are well-known in Cloud City have dressed up warmly and rushed to another bright and prosperous Vanity Fair again.
Su Jiarui walked out of the room, looking at the false smiles on the faces of the people in the hall below, and the crystal chandelier above his head reflected the faces of those people in countless appearances, but they were all ugly and flashy.
The upper class of Cloud City is like a besieged city, the people who are turned away squeeze their heads, use all kinds of means and methods, do not hesitate to sell their bodies and souls, and want to get in, and she is in the center of the whirlpool, she just wants to escape from this terrible cage.
Stepping on the point where the dinner was about to begin, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again, and the other end was just a slender leg that stepped in, which attracted a burst of exclamations.
"Oh my God! Chen Shao, it's Chen Shao! ”
"Hey, how can he be so handsome, I'm really a little jealous of that eldest lady of the Su family."
"It's not, don't say you're jealous of the eldest lady of the Su family, it's all a luxury for people like us to stay by such a man for a while."
“……”
With the admiration of the women, more and more eyes looked towards the door of the hall, including Su Jiarui on the second floor, but just a turn of her head, her eyes seemed to be not controlled by herself, looking straight at the cold and dignified figure like a god.
If there really is a so-called god in this world, it must be Chen Cheng!
Even if he attracted many onlookers as soon as he appeared on the stage, these scenes have long been commonplace in Chen Cheng's eyes, since he was born, he seems to be living in the spotlight, every word and deed, every move, has a domineering and involuntary strength.
His indifferent gaze coldly swept over the faces of the group of people with different concerns, and finally, his gaze was fixed on the second floor, and the gaze of the two people crossed over countless people and interacted with each other.
It's both a coincidence and a wordless irony.
Because the distance was too far, Su Jiarui couldn't see the emotions leaking from his eyes at this moment, but she understood that what that person wanted to see was not her, but Su Ru.
Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip slightly, trying to suppress her nasal acid.
She originally owed Su Ru a lot, and this time, she had to ask herself to retreat into the shadows and become Su Ru's shadow again, as before.
No matter what, she couldn't do anything to be sorry for Su Ru.
Whether it's because of the lot of care she took for herself before, or because she accidentally caused her to almost die.
"Be careful, you're here."
The shoulder was gently patted by a gentle hand, and Su Ru appeared next to her with a smiling face.
Obviously, she also noticed Chen Cheng, who appeared in the hall and was looking here, with a happy smile on the corner of her mouth that belonged to a little woman, and nodded at Chen Cheng on the other end.
"Wow, two people are flirting in the air, it's so romantic."
"Oh my God, you don't look like a prince who has traveled thousands of miles to save the princess in the castle, the two of them are so compatible!"
"Yes, I feel like even I want them to be together and get married immediately!"
Those blessed words came into his ears, and Su Jiarui only felt sad.
Su Ru naturally has a likable temperament, but if she stands there quietly, she will attract everyone to approach her, and she is naturally not worthy.
Even those daughters of celebrities who have always liked to judge others can praise Su Ru, and she has never been able to do this.
The hand hanging by his side clenched slightly, and Su Jiarui struggled to control his complex emotions.
"Welcome to this welcome ceremony for my precious daughter, I think you all know that for various reasons, my daughter has been separated from me for several years, and she has suffered too much in the past few years, which makes me feel deeply guilty for her as a father."
Su Zhixin, who was standing on the main stage, was radiant at this moment, very different from the depressed appearance before, and even had a flying look in his eyes when he spoke, and Yin Hanmei, who was standing beside her, was even more uncontrollable and shed a few tears.
Su Jiarui only felt that her brain was in chaos, but before she could catch her breath, Su Ru gently held her wrist.
Su Ru still had a gentle smile on her face, looking at her as if she was looking at her beloved sister.
"Alright, it's time for us to play."
In the next second, a dazzling spotlight appeared above the heads of the two, accompanied by an exclamation, Su Ru led Su Jiarui like a princess who had just woken up in a fairy tale, and walked down the stairs, as if her whole body was naturally emitting soft light.
"Wow, that's Su Ru, it's really beautiful, that kind of temperament is simply amazing, it really doesn't give us people a way to live."
"Yes, but who is the one next to her, why don't you even dare to raise your head?"
"I'm afraid it's a subordinate, it looks like it's cringe."
Su Jiarui bit her lower lip slightly, listening to what those people said about her, but she didn't dare to raise her head even more.
The white spotlight was a coronation and welcome for Su Ru, but for her it was torture and a merciless ridicule from Dong Shi.
She never felt that the distance from the second floor to the first floor would be so far away, as if there was no end.
Those vitriolic remarks have no intention of stopping, and even become more and more noisy.
Under the contrast of Su Ru, she is like a clown, abrupt and humble.
Yin Hanmei, who was standing on the main stage, looked at this scene, and her carefully groomed face was also a little hideous.
"Hey, I said you too, why did you put that thing that couldn't be on the table."
Yin Hanmei originally thought that the poison she had given before would be able to block Su Jiarui, but she didn't expect that she would still be able to survive until now, if it weren't for the sake of her precious daughter's immortality, otherwise she would die with Su Jiarui sooner or later!
Su Zhixin is a person who has experienced a big scene, in the face of Yin Hanmei's sharp words, his expression still did not change, but said lightly: "This is what Xiaoru meant, she has suffered so much outside, naturally I have to follow her will in everything." ”
"Hmph, I said that Xiaoru is too kind, and she has been pouring out her heart and lungs for such a wild girl since before, what is the result? People almost killed her, and now they can ignore the past suspicions and drag her to embarrass our Su family, which is really a disaster left for thousands of years. But there's no way, someone just likes to show mercy everywhere and cause trouble to others. ”
Su Zhixin obviously knew that Yin Hanmei was turning a corner and began to scold him again, since he brought Su Jiarui back to the Su family, he was often sarcastic by Yin Hanmei about this matter, but in the face of Yin Hanmei's sarcasm for so many years, he never intended to argue anything. It's just that a pair of eyes have deepened, and the smile on his face has stiffened a little.
"Hanmei, you have to believe me, everything I do is for Xiaoru's good."
His words had a profound meaning, but in Yin Hanmei's ears, it became the most weak explanation.
But in the end, she was the hostess of the banquet today, so naturally she couldn't quarrel with Su Zhixin in a torn face, but she snorted lightly.
"But let me tell you, Xiaoru finally came back this time, if something goes wrong again, I definitely want her to die a bad death!"
After speaking, Yin Hanmei looked at Su Jiarui on the other side viciously with a pair of eyes, with a sense of determination in her eyes.
When Su Zhixin heard this, he raised his head and said, "Don't worry, if she really threatens Su Ru, I must be the first to kill her." ”
