The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 829 - 0818 Losing Composure

The restaurant was really crowded.

This kind of environment was not suitable for children, but with so many women around, it was bound to be noisy.

However, today, it was eerily quiet!

For the first time in history!

As soon as Qi Yuan and Su Ran arrived, the servants started preparing the meal.

The long solid wood dining table could seat about twenty people, and even so, it was surrounded by three full tables of guests.

Everyone sat down one after another, creating a scene that resembled entering a dining hall.

Unquestionably, the main seat at the head of the table was naturally occupied by Old Master Fu.

Qi Yuan and Su Ran sat on the lower left, while on the lower right, it was supposed to be Fu Qixiu and two uncles.

Today, however, it was the Chu family sitting there!

Directly across from Qi Yuan and Su Ran.

Chu Jian had just sat down and looked up to see the two people opposite him.

When he saw Su Ran’s excessively beautiful face, his pupils contracted suddenly, and his eyes widened to the extreme.

This woman...

Chu Xiyao keenly noticed Chu Jian’s abnormality. Seeing him staring at Su Ran unblinking, she frowned slightly.

"Dad, what’s wrong?"

It took a long while for Chu Jian to recover from the shock. He concealed the strangeness in his eyes, looked at Chu Xiyao, and responded calmly.

"Xiyao, that woman is Qi Yuan’s fiancée?"

Chu Jian hadn’t paid attention to Su Ran before. In other words, he didn’t think Su Ran was worth noticing.

Even if she was Qi Yuan’s fiancée, she was just a fiancée!

Moreover, it wasn’t even certain if she could keep that title for long!

Chu Xiyao’s eyes darkened, and she responded coldly.

"Yes."

"Where is she from? How old is she? Who are her family members? Who are her parents?" As he continued to ask, Chu Jian’s voice became somewhat urgent.

Chu Xiyao was a bit puzzled by her father’s reaction but answered truthfully.

"A local, from the Su Family of Yong City, twenty-five years old, with a living grandfather, grandmother, and father, a stepmother, and a half-sister. Her mother... seems to have passed away many years ago."

Chu Jian’s eyes flickered, twenty-five years old?

"What is her father’s name?"

"Su Hongde." Chu Xiyao glanced at Su Ran across from her and sneered lightly.

"Her life is quite dramatic. First, her father cheated, then her mother crashed her car and committed suicide. Later, her fiancé also cheated with her half-sister! The Su Family detests her, and the Gu Family looks down on her!

Now, not only did she acquire Enrich, but she also shattered the Su Family, and she’s the largest stakeholder of the Gu family!"

Moreover, she single-handedly established Qianran International and is globally renowned as the fashion designer R.

Her designs are sought after by people from all walks of fashion and even praised by royal families who collect her works.

And Su Xinyan’s current predicament is also entirely her doing.

Every event from her past is shocking when counted one by one, and it’s hard to ignore her methods.

But sometimes, no matter how skilled you are, you can’t overcome certain disadvantages, like your background!

Hearing this, Chu Jian also sighed in relief.

It seems it was just a coincidence after all.

The age doesn’t match!

But this Su Family still needs thorough investigation!

Chu Xiyao, noticing her father’s changing expressions, was curious.

"What’s wrong, Dad? Is there a problem?"

Chu Jian shook his head, his face returning to its usual calm and unruly expression.

"I was overthinking."

Chu Xiyao was puzzled but didn’t say more.

The atmosphere in the restaurant grew heavier.

Especially in the context of the ’don’t talk while eating or sleeping’ rule, making it feel even more oppressive.

Su Ran naturally felt the occasional glances cast her way from across the table, but she didn’t pay much attention.

Not just Chu Xiyao and her father, many present were curious about her; at least half the people in the restaurant were sizing her up.

If she cared about all those glances, she wouldn’t be able to eat at all.

At the dining table, Qi Yuan was continuously shelling and deboning food for Su Ran. She didn’t even need to lift a finger, as her bowl was never empty.

Having been together for so long, Qi Yuan knew her tastes very well, picking only the dishes she liked.

Su Ran had grown accustomed to this!

Those at the main table were all stunned into silence by Qi Yuan’s gesture.

Their master, being this tender and considerate?

Serving food to someone was something they couldn’t even dream of!

Only the brave soul sitting beside him dared to accept the food he served without hesitation!

She wasn’t even afraid of it being poisoned!

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Ran with admiration!

The hand holding Su Ran’s chopsticks paused slightly; when she looked up, those who had been staring at her all lowered their heads simultaneously and began to eat quickly.

She glanced at them, then looked at the food in her bowl and tilted her head slightly towards Qi Yuan beside her.

After thinking for a moment, she picked up a shrimp and started peeling it.

Sitting opposite, watching Qi Yuan’s meticulous attention to Su Ran, Chu Xiyao’s heart ached with jealousy.

What was so special about that woman?

How was she worthy of such devotion from Qi Yuan?

In all these years, Qi Yuan had never even served her a dish.

Gripping her chopsticks tightly, Chu Xiyao’s knuckles turned white with the pressure.

Chu Jian noticed her expression, looked towards the two people across from him, and then his gaze fell on Fu Jinhan diagonally across.

"It’s been a while, Jinhan. Young people should get out more."

Old Master Fu was evidently pleased to see Fu Jinhan suddenly appear.

He had always had a soft spot for this grandson.

"Your Uncle Chu is right. Young people shouldn’t stay cooped up in their yards all the time. Join the family gatherings, recognize people, and chat with everyone."

With eyes reflecting the ink colors of Jiangnan, Fu Jinhan offered a gentle smile and nodded slightly.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Old Master Fu nodded in satisfaction, just as Chu Jian began to speak again.

"It’s rare for the whole family to gather. Despite the effort of getting everyone together, it turns out someone here isn’t part of the family."

As Chu Jian spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Su Ran across the table.

It was obvious who he was referring to.

The atmosphere in the restaurant turned awkward. Everyone exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.

Qi Yuan’s eyes lifted slightly, casting a nonchalant gaze at Chu Jian, exerting a significant amount of pressure.

The air grew cold and tense.

This startled everyone, especially Chu Jian.

Sitting nearby, Fu Qixiu wiped his mouth with a napkin, and the devoted brother and defender of Su Ran instantly burst out again!
