Hidden truth, intricate love

Chapter 8 The Buds of Emotion

Gu Beichen decided to take Su Wanqing to a high-end dinner party, a gathering of dignitaries and business elites. He hoped that this event would not only showcase Su Wanqing's talent as an assistant, but also test her true intentions and abilities.

Su Wanqing accepted the invitation, understanding that it was both a showcase and a challenge. She chose a simple yet elegant black evening gown that showcased her professionalism while retaining a touch of femininity. Her makeup was exquisite, her manners were impeccable, and every detail revealed her dedication to the dinner.

The dinner was held in a historic, luxurious hotel. Within its resplendent hall, crystal chandeliers cast a soft, dazzling glow, illuminating every guest. Famous paintings and meticulously arranged floral arrangements adorned the walls, adding a touch of art and nature to the occasion. Guests arrived one after another, each a distinguished figure from a diverse range of fields. Each a leader in their field, their conversations brimming with wisdom and insight, each smile and handshake a potential for future collaboration or revolution. The arrival of Gu Beichen and Su Wanqing undoubtedly added a new dimension to this star-studded occasion, adding a sense of anticipation and suspense to the dinner.

At the dinner, Su Wanqing's presence immediately captured everyone's attention. Her beauty wasn't just about appearances; it radiated a sense of confidence and strength from within. She engaged the guests, showcasing her intelligence and insight, leaving a lasting impression.

Li Wei stood in a corner of the banquet, her gaze fixed on Su Wanqing, a subtle flicker of jealousy in her eyes. She watched Su Wanqing effortlessly navigate the guests, her confident smile and elegant demeanor revealing an irresistible charm. Li Wei's heart felt as if it were scorched by flames, a sense of unprecedented threat and unease.

She recalled her past with Gu Beichen, those sweet moments and days of being pampered, but now they had become a thorn in her heart. Gu Beichen's gaze no longer lingered on her, his attention completely absorbed by Su Wanqing. Li Wei felt like an abandoned old object, no longer radiant, no longer cherished.

Jealousy spread within her, like poison ivy entwining her sanity. She wanted to reclaim everything that belonged to her, to embarrass Su Wanqing in this glamorous setting, to make her the laughing stock of everyone. Li Wei's heart was filled with malice, and she began to plot how to make Su Wanqing lose her dignity in front of everyone.

Li Wei wanted to destroy Su Wanqing's image before everyone's eyes. She imagined Su Wanqing blushing with embarrassment and shame, and this gave her a twisted sense of satisfaction. However, she also knew that this action could have unpredictable consequences, but her jealousy had blinded her, and she was willing to stop at nothing for this moment of revenge.

Li Wei quietly approached Su Wanqing, her steps light and light, hardly attracting anyone's attention. She held a glass of red wine tightly in her hand, maintaining a polite smile on her face, but a hint of cunning was hidden in her eyes. She waited, waiting for the perfect moment.

Finally, when Su Wanqing turned to talk to a guest with her back to Li Wei, Li Wei felt the time had come. She pretended to be unsteady on her feet, her body tilted slightly, and the red wine glass in her hand seemed to tilt inadvertently, and the red wine splashed straight onto Su Wanqing's back like a red waterfall.

Su Wanqing felt a chill on her back, and her body stiffened for a moment. She turned and looked at Li Wei, a flicker of surprise and confusion in her eyes. However, she did not lose her temper as Li Wei had hoped. Instead, she said in a calm but firm voice, "Ms. Li, I believe this was an accident. We are all adults and should know how to control our emotions."

The surrounding guests noticed this scene, their eyes wandering between Li Wei and Su Wanqing, whispering to each other. Li Wei's plan did not seem to have the desired effect, but instead made Su Wanqing appear more calm and elegant. Her behavior not only did not embarrass Su Wanqing, but made her look a little embarrassed and out of control.

Li Wei's heart was filled with disappointment and anger. She hadn't expected Su Wanqing to handle this emergency so calmly. Her behavior made her seem petty and childish. Looking at Su Wanqing, she felt a surge of powerlessness, realizing her plan had completely failed.

Gu Beichen stood not far away, observing the events at the banquet with a penetrating gaze. He watched as Su Wanqing maintained her grace and composure despite Li Wei's provocation, and an indescribable admiration welled up within him. Su Wanqing was not only physically pleasing, but also displayed remarkable resilience and wisdom on a spiritual level.

Under the lights of the banquet, a subtle glint flickered in Gu Beichen's eyes. He witnessed Su Wanqing's calmness in the face of crisis, and her tolerance and generosity towards Li Wei's malicious actions. This inner strength is far more touching than outward splendor. Gu Beichen realized that Su Wanqing was more than just a glamorous assistant; she possessed unfathomable potential and abilities.

As the dinner progressed, Gu Beichen's eyes unconsciously followed Su Wanqing. He noticed her wit and humor in her interactions with guests, as well as her keen insight in handling complex issues. These qualities elevated his appreciation of Su Wanqing to a new level.

During the confrontation between Su Wanqing and Li Wei, Gu Beichen saw Su Wanqing's maturity and composure. She chose not to confront Li Wei head-on, but instead used a more sophisticated approach to resolve the awkward situation. This approach not only won the respect of the guests present, but also impressed Gu Beichen.

After the banquet, Su Wanqing didn't leave immediately, but instead searched the crowd for Li Wei. She knew that even though the conflict at the dinner had subsided temporarily, the feud between her and Li Wei was far from over. Su Wanqing was determined to make Li Wei understand that she wasn't someone to be bullied.

In a corner of the banquet, Su Wanqing found Li Wei. Her eyes were firm and cold, as if they could penetrate people's hearts. Li Wei felt the pressure from Su Wanqing, and a trace of fear rose in her heart.

Su Wanqing approached slowly, her voice low and powerful. She said to Li Wei, "Miss Li, are you satisfied with tonight's little episode? You should know that I am not someone who can be easily bullied."

Li Wei's face changed slightly. She tried to hide her uneasiness, but her voice was already trembling: "Su Wanqing, you...what do you mean?"

Su Wanqing smiled slightly, but there was no warmth in that smile: "What I mean is, if you think that failure tonight will make you satisfied, then you are sadly mistaken. I have more methods than you can imagine. I will not easily forget what you did today."

A chill ran through Li Wei's heart. She realized that Su Wanqing was no ordinary person and her revenge could be very cruel. Li Wei tried to defend herself: "I... I was just impulsive..."

But Su Wanqing didn't give her a chance to continue speaking. She interrupted Li Wei and said, "Impulsive? No, Ms. Li, this is your choice. You chose to be my enemy, and you must bear the consequences. Remember, I will not easily let go of those who dare to challenge me."

After saying that, Su Wanqing turned and left, leaving Li Wei alone, her heart filled with anxiety and fear. Su Wanqing's words were like a sharp knife, piercing deep into Li Wei's heart, making her realize a fact: Su Wanqing was not an opponent to be underestimated.

Su Wanqing's words were not only a warning to Li Wei, but also a declaration to herself. She wanted everyone to know that she was not someone who would give in easily. Any provocation or insult against her would come at a heavy price. Her revenge would be precise and deadly, a lesson that Li Wei would remember forever.

Su Wanqing's revenge was brutal and precise. Using her technical skills, she anonymously posted some of Li Wei's past indecent photos and inappropriate comments on social media, which quickly caused an uproar online. Li Wei's image was severely damaged overnight.

The next day, Li Wei's scandal made headlines in major media outlets, forcing her to publicly apologize and temporarily withdraw from the public eye. Su Wanqing's move not only made Li Wei suffer, but also allowed Gu Beichen to see her indomitable side.

Gu Beichen's heart was filled with surprise and curiosity. He began to reassess Su Wanqing's abilities and her position in his heart. He realized that Su Wanqing was not just a weak-looking woman, but a strong heart and clever means. She was a character that should not be underestimated.

He began to wonder if Su Wanqing's abilities could be used to his advantage. In the business world, such strategies and wisdom were extremely valuable. Gu Beichen knew that if he could incorporate Su Wanqing's wisdom and tactics into his own camp, he would gain a powerful ally in the fierce business war.

At the same time, Gu Beichen felt a sense of alarm. While Su Wanqing's revenge was clever, it also showed she was no easy opponent. If she used such tactics on him, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, Gu Beichen decided to be more cautious and tactful in his interactions with Su Wanqing.

Through this incident, Su Wanqing not only demonstrated her strength to those who dared to insult her, but also further consolidated her position in Gu Beichen's heart. She knew that her road to revenge was still long...
