Chapter 103 Can You Have a Little Sympathy?

It seemed like this woman was very unwelcome to him…

Su Yiren raised her eyebrows slightly. She wanted to say “no”, but she was afraid he wouldn’t attend the two blind dates tomorrow and the day after. She wanted to say “yes”, but she didn’t want to lie to him from the bottom of her heart.

When she contacted the website staff before, she specifically emphasized that she was introducing a blind date for an unknowing older young man.

She said that although he was handsome and wealthy, intelligent and capable, he was taciturn and didn’t like to find a partner.

So she hoped that the girls who came for the blind date could be more proactive, but she never thought that the other party would be so proactive that she would directly touch Si Hong’s hand!

She was really bold.

While Su Yiren was hesitating, Si Hong’s voice came through the phone, much calmer and wiser than before, but also with a hint of coldness,

“Don’t tell me this is a blind date banquet today?”

“How could it be, you’re thinking too much!”

After quickly analyzing the pros and cons, Su Yiren awkwardly laughed:

“Maybe she just thinks you’re handsome!”

Si Hong sighed and asked her reluctantly:

“The two guests tomorrow and the day after, are they male or female?”

“Uh… female.” Su Yiren touched her nose, thinking that the website wouldn’t arrange a man to go on a blind date with Si Hong.

Si Hong became even more suspicious, “You’re acting strange.”

“You’re the one who’s strange!” Su Yiren’s heart hardened, and her tone was very strong,

“If I hadn’t come to Jiangcheng myself and couldn’t leave, I wouldn’t have bothered you to receive these clients. If you don’t want to go, then don’t. I’ll find someone else.”

“Go,” Si Hong sighed, his voice immediately softening,

“I’ll go, okay.”

Su Yiren’s lips curled up, revealing a triumphant smile.

The topic ended, and Si Hong asked about her situation.

Su Yiren simply talked about the banquet and things like that. As for the little incident that just happened, she didn’t mention it.

She didn’t want Si Hong to worry.

“You’re so young, and you’ve never shown your face publicly. It’s understandable that everyone doesn’t know your abilities.” Si Hong’s voice was warm and comforting:

“I believe that after tomorrow, they will definitely look at you with new eyes.”

Su Yiren confidently raised her lips,

“I already showed my skills today…” She began to tell Si Hong about the series of funny things that happened in the kitchen,

“When I carved that huge iceberg, they were stunned on the spot.”

Si Hong smiled slightly on the other side, his eyes as gentle as water,

“My chef is really amazing.”

“That’s right~” Su Yiren’s eyes were full of pride and self-confidence.

She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was almost ten o’clock, so she said:

“I’m going back to my room.”

“Okay, get some sleep early, good night.”

“Good night.” Su Yiren paused and added,

“Thank you.”

Fortunately, he called at this time, which made her feel much better.

If he hadn’t been there to chat with her, she might have had to sit here alone for a long time.

Si Hong keenly sensed something was wrong and asked tentatively:

“Did something happen on your end?”

“No,” Su Yiren looked up at the night sky, the stars twinkling,

“You suffered so much injustice, you helped me receive clients, and you were even taken advantage of. Of course I have to thank you.”

Si Hong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly: “Then remember to compensate me when you come back.”

“Of course~”

After ending the call, Su Yiren sat for a while longer before slowly walking back.

But as she walked to the front of that building, she saw a tall figure standing downstairs.

Su Yiren immediately stopped, her eyes scanning him lightly.

Lu Yunting  stood straight in front of the building with one hand in his pocket, like a silent sculpture.

Sensing the footsteps, he raised his eyes slightly, just in time to meet Su Yiren’s gaze.

Since they had seen each other, Su Yiren didn’t want to hide anymore. She adjusted her mood and walked directly to the entrance of the building.

Just as the two of them were about to pass each other, Lu Yunting suddenly spoke,

“Was it exciting to watch?”

Su Yiren was startled. Suddenly, the scene of Ouyang Shasha pitifully throwing herself into Lu Yunting’s arms flashed through her mind. She sneered,

“It was quite entertaining.”

A casual remark directly angered Lu Yunting.

He turned to look at her, his eyes cold,

“I really didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”

“What kind of person am I?” Su Yiren raised her eyebrows and said for him:

“Selfish? Cunning? Indifferent? Seeking revenge?” A series of questions made Lu Yunting’s brows furrow even tighter.

Su Yiren suddenly laughed, but there was no extra emotion in her laughter,

“Lu Yunting，there’s already one hero to save the damsel in distress in this world. That’s enough.”

He had indeed misunderstood her.

Just as she had guessed before.

There was no need to explain, and she was too lazy to explain.

They had both given up on each other, so why waste words?

Moreover, her heart had already died. Rather than wasting time here with him, she might as well go back to her room and sleep.

Lu Yunting couldn’t stand her sarcastic tone the most. He reached out to stop her, but his peripheral vision caught the ribbon tied around her wrist, and he remembered the time he had squeezed her wrist.

The hand that had reached out paused, and Su Yiren took advantage of this opportunity to walk inside.

The elevator stopped on the top floor. Su Yiren stood at the elevator entrance and sensed that Lu Yunting had followed her.

She pressed the elevator button, and she heard Lu Yunting ask behind her:

“You’re both women, why were you indifferent when you saw her being humiliated?”

His tone was clearly a little better than before, obviously he was suppressing his anger.

But Su Yiren didn’t appreciate it at all,

“Yeah, we’re both women,” she repeated casually,

“But I’m not as likable as her.”

She remembered the few words that man said to Ouyang Shasha. It seemed like they were very close in foreign countries, but after returning to China, Ouyang Shasha dumped him, so he came looking for her.

Moreover, judging from what he said, Ouyang Shasha had more than one boyfriend.

On one hand, she pretended to be innocent and wanted to marry into the Lu family; on the other hand, she was free and unrestrained outside, with a bunch of love debts.

This really wasn’t a decent woman, was she?

“Su Yiren!” Seeing her sarcastic and mocking demeanor, Lu Yunting gritted his teeth in anger,

“Can you have a little sympathy?”

Su Yiren looked at him suspiciously,

“Why should I sympathize with a woman who stole my ex-husband?”

Lu Yunting was about to retort, but he heard her sneer and ask again:

“Besides, who has ever sympathized with me? You? Or her?”

The elevator dinged, and the elevator door slowly opened.

“I’m just a woman without sympathy, unlike you who are so compassionate. So we’re not on the same page, don’t ask these meaningless questions anymore.”

Su Yiren walked directly into the elevator, her face gloomy as she stared at the metal wall, not wanting to look back at him.

Lu Yunting’s lips were pursed into a line. At the moment the elevator door was about to close, he stepped sideways into the elevator.
