The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

Seeing this, Xiermo jokingly asked back, "Then Miss Su, please open these gift boxes and see what treasures are inside. Then consider whether you are willing to accept this small token of appreciation."

Su Yuan glanced at the man with a half-believing and half-doubting look for a moment, then reached out and opened one of the gift boxes.

What catches the eye is a pair of white jade pendants with exquisite craftsmanship lying quietly in the box, emitting dazzling light.

It is obvious that this pair of pendants is no ordinary item.

And from Hillmo's complacent expression, it can be seen that he is quite satisfied with the cost of this compensation.

But all this made Su Yuan feel boring and tedious.

Compared with real antiques, these decorative items are not worth mentioning at all. At best, their so-called value is increased through market hype.

While everyone was silent and just staring at the precious pendants,

Guo Yingying's eyes flashed with excitement.

Completely forgetting the previous conflict between her and Su Yuan, she took the initiative to step forward and said, "Sister, as long as you are willing to give me this pair of white jade pendants in exchange, then I agree to let you temporarily return to our store to continue working."

After saying this, Guo Yingying looked confident and generous, as if she had shown great tolerance.

"Shut up!"

At this time, Wu Fan finally couldn't help but interrupt, and a scolding made her shut her mouth immediately.

Although his voice was not loud, it was filled with unquestionable firmness, and the whole room seemed to fall silent.

Then he glanced at Su Yuan with a slightly apologetic look and sternly lectured Guo Yingying: "That's too much! No matter what, Su Yuan is also your family. Shouldn't you show her some basic respect?"

His tone revealed a powerful aura that made everyone present hold their breath.

Guo Yingying knew that she was able to attend such a party only because of Wu Fan, so she had to lower her head and look at him weakly.

She gently tugged at the corner of Wu Fan's clothes and pleaded in a voice so small it was almost inaudible, "I'm really doing this for your own good. Isn't it your aunt's birthday in a few days..."

There was a hint of reluctance and grievance on her face, as if she was trying to arouse Wu Fan's sympathy.

However, Wu Fan ignored her words and instead extended a warm invitation to Su Yuan: "You know, my mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow, and she really wants to see you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to come over and celebrate with us that day?"

Wu Fan's eyes were full of sincerity and anticipation, as if he had thrown all his worries away and only wanted to invite the girl in front of him who made his heart beat faster to join this important family event.

After hearing this, Su Yuan was almost defeated by her own curiosity and almost wanted to find a mirror to take a good look at herself.

The inner me kept questioning: Do I look like the kind of person who would fall into the same trap twice?

After all, what happened last time...

She still remembers it clearly.

That experience was a shame beyond all shame for her. How could she forget it so easily?

At this moment, Su Yuan clenched her hands tightly, fearing that she would not be able to control her anger and would really want to punch Wu Fan.

She felt both dissatisfied and unwilling in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm and restrained.

She had a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes. "Wu Fan, you're incredibly shameless. Do I have to put an announcement in the newspaper like they did during the Republic of China era to get you to stop?"

Su Yuan's words were sharp and harsh, obviously directed at the man in front of him. Every word he said hurt his heart.

Wu Fan shook his head, not showing any weakness: "How can it be so troublesome? Su Yuan, have you forgotten? When we got engaged, your grandmother promised to leave her heirloom bracelet with us. It was prepared for our future small family, and you didn't take it away."

His words seemed to be reminding Su Yuan of something very important, as if he wanted to use it as a means to restrain her.

It also implies that there was an unusual relationship between the two, but it was later forced to end for some reason.

"laugh!"

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, staring at Wu Fan with her eyes fixed.

My grandmother is recuperating in a nursing home right now. If they use this as an excuse to spread rumors...

Thinking of this, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel frightened.

Grandma is one of the best relatives in the world who treats her best. It is absolutely unacceptable if she suffers unnecessary trouble because of these groundless speculations.

She barely endured it and asked through gritted teeth: "So what do you want now?"

His words revealed long-suppressed anger and a sense of unease caused by the unpredictable future.

Su Yuan felt that she was at a crossroads. Every choice she made could affect the trajectory of her future life, so she had to treat everything with caution.

Wu Fan raised his chin and said arrogantly, "Whatever, do you want to accept my invitation now?"

Situ Yefeng next to him watched the scene silently, and vaguely felt that something seemed to have gone wrong before.

Situ Yefeng asked softly, "Do you need my help?"

Su Yuan shook her head, indicating that she should not meddle in other people's business.

Seeing this, Situ Yefeng also shut up and stopped talking.

"Su Yuan, even your grandmother wants us to get married, why are you still hesitating? I came to you in person and you won't even give me face?"

Wu Fan didn't care about Guo Yingying beside him at all. When he saw that Su Yuan didn't refute, he felt that he had grasped her weakness.

His attitude became more and more confident and even a little complacent, as if he had already won.

Su Yuan didn't want to say anything more. After a few quick responses, he turned around and left. He even entrusted others to handle the newly purchased items and compensation.

Faced with such a complex and difficult situation, the best option is to retreat temporarily.

In the villa, Yang Sheng, who was discussing work, saw Su Yuan coming back angrily, and looked at Situ Yefeng who followed with a puzzled look.

Situ Yefeng shrugged his shoulders and opened his hands as if giving up.

Everything that just happened was obviously beyond his control, so he had to give up on investigating further.

There was no other way, so Yang Sheng had to go up and ask, "You were in a good mood when you went out this morning, how did you become like this?"

There was both surprise and concern in his tone, hoping to get more information from his friend so as to better understand the current situation.

Su Yuan sat on the sofa, holding a big pillow in her arms, and punched it hard forward.

Every punch seemed to pour out the anger in her heart.

Finally, when her heartbeat gradually subsided and her breathing became even, her movements slowly stopped.

"That Wu Fan is really disgusting!"

When Su Yuan recalled what had just happened, she felt an uncontrollable anger welling up in her heart.
