Chapter 143: The Only Backing
On the other end, under the light of the spotlight, Su Jiarui's forehead began to sweat, and even the things he saw in front of him had a lifeless black.
She adjusted her breathing, but she only felt her heart beat a little faster.
But fortunately, the torture in front of him was coming to an end, and there were only three steps left in front of him, and Su Jiarui tried his best to control his vain steps and moved forward cautiously.
Eventually, when there were only two steps left, a soft shout was heard from the side.
Before she could react, Su Ru beside her lost her center of gravity and went straight forward.
Her brain was blank for a while, and when she reacted and raised her hand to pull it, a figure had already taken a step ahead of her and held Su Ru firmly in her arms.
In the next second, she met Chen Cheng's eyes that were so cold that they could freeze to death.
Her mind went blank, and for a moment she felt like she was being nailed to a frame of shame, and before she could figure out why all this had happened suddenly, a gust of wind came straight at her.
"Smack-"
A loud slap hit her in the face, and she could almost hear someone clapping her hands.
There was a buzz in her ears, and Yin Hanmei's sharp voice almost pierced the eardrums of everyone present.
"Why are you so vicious, you didn't hurt Xiaoru enough before, and you still want to hurt her in this situation? Our Su family gave you food and drink, and this is how you repay us? ”
The left cheek was no longer sensational, and she held on to the armrest, only to feel a fishy sweetness in her mouth.
"Mom, don't blame Jiarui, I didn't stand firm just now, and I accidentally fell, it's none of her business."
Su Ru came out to speak at the right time, but obviously, no one present would feel that Su Jiarui was innocent, and some people had even begun to sigh at Su Ru's kindness.
"Oh, Xiaoru, you're still talking to her now, if it weren't for your face, how could I let her, a murderer, attend with you, really. I knew she was not happy with her head down, and I thought she was going to step on the hem of your skirt and make you fall to your death on the stairs. ”
Yin Hanmei's voice not only did not weaken, but even became more and more intense, eager for everyone to hear about Su Jiarui's evil deeds and know what kind of heinous person Su Jiarui is.
"Murderers? I remember, isn't she the director of the Chen Group, I heard that in order to protect her reputation, she was suspected of killing a worker on a construction site, I still don't believe it, now I see that she even dared to kill her sister a few years ago, what else can't be done? ”
"Hmph, what the most poisonous woman's heart! It's disgusting, it's a shame that her sister is still talking for her, and I see, she deliberately stepped on her sister's skirt and caused her to fall. ”
"That's right, I kept my head down before, it turned out that the purpose was like this, my God, this person's psychology is too dark!"
For a time, the message was raging.
She obviously didn't do anything, but she seemed to have been beaten into a heinous sinner a long time ago, and those sins that came out of nothing seemed to be crimes that she had been planning for a long time.
And with everyone's condemnation of her, Chen Cheng was already holding Su Ru in his arms, without looking back, and walked forward.
It's just that at the moment when they passed by, Su Jiarui still heard the man's cold voice.
"Stay away from her."
Su Jiarui bit her lower lip, only feeling that compared with those who slandered her with all kinds of unbearable words, Chen Cheng's words hurt her more deeply.
She can pretend not to hear what others think of her, but why does Chen Cheng think that those things are really what she did?
Su Ru was escorted by Chen Cheng all the way, and arrived on the main stage like stars holding the moon, as if there were stars shining in her eyes, and in the admiration of everyone, she spoke generously.
"Thank you for participating in this welcome party for me, I would like to thank many people who have helped me, I am honored to be the spokesperson of the 'End of the Sky' project to witness the rise of this epoch-making project in the center of Cloud City, and I would like to thank everyone for their support and love for this project."
With a burst of applause, Su Ru still had a pampered smile on her face.
"At the same time, I am also honored to participate in the filming of the promotional video, because as far as I know, the person involved in the design of this project is my sister Su Jiarui, and I also hope that she can participate in the filming of this promotional video with me as a member of the promotional video."
After saying this, she cast her expectant eyes on Chen Cheng, who was standing in the crowd and looking at her.
Although she said that if she could, she would like to completely withdraw Su Jiarui from her life, but she understood that she had to have a disgust for everyone now, especially Chen Cheng.
Therefore, the purpose of tying Su Jiarui to her side is to create conditions that are convenient for her to start.
After all, Su Jiarui has been enjoying the glory that should belong to her for so many years, so correspondingly, she naturally wants to ask for some interest from her.
Because of her words, it immediately caused an uproar, just after such a farce, everyone regarded Su Jiarui as a vicious woman, and now Su Ru even asked to arrange for Su Jiarui to participate in the filming with her, and for a while, the image of these two people in the eyes of everyone was different.
"She deserves it too? Really. ”
"That's right, I think this sister is really spoiling my sister, if this is my sister, I can't wait to strangle her with my own hands."
"Hey, by the way, do you know that this Su Jiarui took advantage of Su Ru's absence to seduce Chen Shao before."
"Oh my God, how could she be so shameless!"
“……”
Under the fermentation of such a drunken vanity fair, all the gossip has room to grow freely.
Su Jiarui finally stabilized her mind, but those thoughtful eyes made her have nothing to hide in an instant, as if she was some terrible virus, and the people around her distanced themselves from her.
"I agree."
A warm voice came from behind him, and a faint layer of temperature was attached to Su Jiarui's shoulder.
It was like throwing a small stone on the originally calm and windless water, Su Jiarui's heart moved slightly, I don't know why, I actually felt that such gentleness made her a little sour for a while.
Wu Mingxu supported Su Jiarui, who was almost untenable, and became her only solid backing.
"At the same time, as Su Jiarui's boyfriend, I also hope that you don't speculate on unfounded things, after all, everyone is gathered here today to welcome Miss Su Ru's return again, isn't it?"
Although Wu Ming still had a smile on his eyebrows, the threat in his words was not hidden at all.
As if sensing something, Su Jiarui slowly raised her head, met the cold gaze of the person not far away, she trembled, tried to bite her lower lip, and forced herself to pretend to be calm and calm.
Su Ru, who was standing on the main stage, obviously didn't consider that Wu Ming would say such a thing in public, she frowned slightly and thought for a moment, and the corners of her mouth were relieved with a smile of relief.
"It turns out that Jiarui has also found his own happiness, so today is really happy, Jiarui, as your sister, I am happy for you."
This banquet successfully made Su Ru active in the public's eyes again, and even because of Su Jiarui's coincidental "vicious scheming", everyone was disgusted with Su Jiarui, and at the same time, they had a little more pity and favor for Su Ru.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to prepare for the filming of the promotional film, Su Jiarui always thought that Wu Ming's remarks at the banquet at that time were just a joke to excuse her, and he didn't expect that Chen Cheng would directly agree to her request to participate in the filming.
Dragging his tired body and mind, Su Jiarui finally finished the day's work after pouring three cups of Americano.
Since Su Ru returned, she can always see Su Ru and Chen Cheng together anywhere, although she has completely given up that unrealistic idea, but every time she sees the beautiful picture of the two of them in and out, she still feels dazzling.
And since Su Ru came back, the car that used to be parked downstairs at any time has never appeared again.
Sometimes the change is always small and unexpected, and every time she saw that unique car, she always had a sense of irritability in her heart, but now, standing under the empty building, watching the endless stream of cars speeding in front of her, but none of them will stop for herself, somewhere in her heart seems to have broken a big hole, and she can hear the sound of the wind shuttling in it.
She was stunned in the wind for a long time, and then lowered her eyes and walked to the bus stop some distance away, she didn't want to take a taxi, because she was afraid to return to the villa, and the picture she saw would make her nose sore.
The human heart is always greedy, even for her.
Although she said that she would give up, how could the love and liking that ran through her entire youth be completely forgotten and diluted in just a few words?
If she could, she wished she could find a corner where no one was and hide in it all the time, so that she could avoid seeing the images that made her sad.
But in fact, she always knew in her heart that Chen Cheng would not let her go so simply, and putting her by her side was the biggest torture for her.
The night wind seemed to come to life, digging straight into the cracks of human bones, and the chill was unbearable.
Su Jiarui let out a sigh of relief, wrapped his thin windbreaker tightly, bowed his head slightly against the wind, and walked forward.
The roads in the vicinity seem to be being renovated, and even the street lamps that could have emitted a little dim light have been completely removed, and she is the only lonely figure on the empty street, like a ghost crawling out of the gutter to ask for her life.
