“Well, for someone to be able to show up here beside President Su, she’s probably hard to deal with. We should just watch on the sidelines.”

Jian Tong, who sat at table two, felt deeply annoyed the moment she saw Huo Mian.

No wonder no matter how hard she tried to seduce President Su, he never laid an eye on her. It was because Huo Mian was right there beside him all this time.

While Su Yu got up and began chatting with the company’s high-level executives, Jian Tong walked over with a glass of wine in her hand.

“Miss Huo, oh, no, I should call you Mrs. Qin.”

“Miss Jian.” Huo Mian glanced over and scanned Jian Tong’s face without much emotion.

“Long time no see.” Jian Tong smiled insincerely.

“Yes, it’s been a while.”

“So, did you and President Qin get a divorce? Are you dating President Su now?” Jian Tong asked directly.

Huo Mian’s face turned dark in a split second, but quickly, she smiled. “Where did you get that information from?”

“You’re someone else’s wife, yet you’re not with your own man, but rather always with other men. Aren’t your actions the best evidence?”

“So, in your mind there is only one kind of relationship between men and women, right?” Huo Mian asked.

Jian Tong smirked, “What other relationships could there be? Don’t tell me you guys are… best friends?”

“Perhaps you should ask President Su what kind of relationship we have.”

Upon hearing Huo Mian’s remark, Jian Tong was taken by surprise for a moment.

“You see, Miss Jian, you’re a famous actress at the moment, and you’ve been in the entertainment business for quite a number of years now. So, naturally, I figured you would have more backbone. However, I’m surprised you’re someone who bullies those that are weak and are afraid of those that have authority. You like picking on the soft ones, don’t you? Well, unfortunately, I’m not soft.” As Huo Mian finished speaking, she turned her attention to Su Yu that stood not far from her.

“Su Yu.”

“Yes?” Su Yu replied as he immediately shifted all his attention to her.

“Come over for a moment.” Huo Mian waved at Su Yu to come over.

“What is it?” Su Yu looked at Huo Mian tenderly.

“Your employee wants to know what kind of relationship we have. I’m too lazy to explain it myself, and even if I do, I don’t think she would believe me. So, can you tell her what kind of relationship we have?” Huo Mian tilted her chin up and glanced at Jian Tong.

Jian Tong was caught off guard, she didn’t think Huo Mian would be so straightforward and call Su Yu over to answer her question.

The situation was extremely awkward, but more than anything, Jian Tong’s face went pale in fear that Su Yu might get angry.

Su Yu glanced over at Jian Tong with clear annoyance in his eyes.

“Huo Mian and I are good friends, is there a problem?”

“N-no problem,” Jian Tong answered with her gaze down and her voice barely above a whisper.

Su Yu continued, “In addition, what makes you think employees are permitted to ask personal questions about my life? Is there no work at Imperial Star to keep you busy? Is your schedule that empty? Am I giving you too little work?”

“N-no, I… I was just making conversation with Mrs. Huo. President Su, you’re mistaking me,” Jian Tong quickly turned around without another word and headed back to her table. However, on the way back, she clenched her teeth in fury.?She never thought Huo Mian would directly snitch to Su Yu, and ask Su Yu to tell her to back off. What a despicable woman, she thought.

“Dr. Huo, were you satisfied with my answer?” As Jian Tong made her way back, Su Yu looked back at Huo Mian and smiled tenderly.

“Very satisfied, thank you, President Su!”

“You’re still so playful, who would know you’re already the mother of two children! Come and sit, the AC in here is too strong, you’ll get a cold.” As Su Yu seated Huo Mian, he took her coat off the chair and draped it over her shoulders.

This affectionate action once more became the attention of the crowd. At that moment, all the female celebrities’ eyes turned green with envy.
