Chapter 815: I’ll Slap Your Face!
Several chandeliers shone brilliantly. Aristocrats and socialites were in view, all of them with n.o.ble postures. From time to time, they would smile and talk to one another.
Su Wan was like an island. The seats around her were deliberately empty.
However, Su Wan did not care. Her gaze wandered over the pastries on the gorgeous long table.
Which ones should she eat?
Although Su Wan did not have the heart to cause trouble and did her best to put aside her presence, in this kind of high-cla.s.s social occasion, it did not mean that others would not pay attention to her.
The surrounding people intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Su Wan.
First, it was because of the matter of young master Keller being beaten up. The Emperor had stood up for Su Wan, making Su Wan infamous.
Second… it was because everyone knew that the empty seat on Su Wan’s right was the seat of the first lady of the Devi family.
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be in this order. No one knew who had done something behind the scenes.
But thinking about it, as long as that Madam Ye of the Devi family came, it would be a good show. Those who knew about it couldn’t help but look forward to it.
…
For some unknown reason, that Madam Ye of the Devi family hadn’t come for a long time.
A few girls sitting near Su Wan could not help but feel a little disappointed. They began to discuss in twos and threes.
Occasionally, they would look at Su Wan and let out waves of low laughter. Their soft voices were like silver bells.
Su Wan did not have the time to pay attention to those people. She raised her slender fingers and casually brushed the strands of hair by her ear.
This action of brus.h.i.+ng her hair did not appear delicate to Su Wan. On the contrary, it had an innate n.o.bility, and also carried a few strands of heart-wrenching charm.
The few n.o.ble girls saw that Su Wan was enjoying herself, so they began to whisper.
“Don’t you think that apart from her good looks, that Su Wan also has a good temperament? No wonder the emperor would like her.”
“You see that her sitting posture is still considered well-behaved, right? Guess, did the emperor give her some temporary etiquette training?”
“Miss Diya is really pitiful. Today is clearly her home ground, and she is going to be engaged to the emperor. Why is His Highness still slapping her face like this?”
“I heard that His Highness doesn’t like Miss Diya at all. However, no matter how bad Miss Diya is, she is still better than this Su, right? Her family background can be said to be on the same level!”
“Exactly! No matter how good-looking she is, what’s the use of having a temperament? Isn’t she just a vase? And he even brought her to this kind of occasion!”
“His Highness is just too doting on this girl. Look at that young master Keller of the Devi family…”
The way these n.o.ble ladies pointed at the world made it seem as if Su Wan was a joke. However, due to the status of Diya and Jiang Xuecheng, they could not say too much.
The voices of those girls entered Su Wan’s ears from time to time. Their voices were so low that Su Wan could not hear them clearly.
Su Wan felt uncomfortable in her heart. In fact, she hated it the most when others looked at her with contempt or malice. She also did not like it when others talked about her in front of her.
However, Su Wan did not get angry. She just sat quietly on the chair and forked a piece of mousse cake for herself.
Who cares about them? She could just eat her own cake.
Just when Su Wan was about to lower her head and enjoy the delicious food, she suddenly felt that there was a sudden silence around her, followed by a faint restlessness.
“Look, Madam Ye is finally here! I’ve waited for so long in vain!”
“The show is finally about to begin!”
Madam Ye?
What Madam Ye?
Before Su Wan could react, she felt as if someone was looking at her through gritted teeth.
That gaze was too fierce, and Su Wan could not help but feel a chill down her spine.
Su Wan looked up and saw a woman rus.h.i.+ng over in a hurry.
It was a middle-aged n.o.blewoman who looked to be in her forties. Her black hair was slightly curly, and she wore a lavender evening gown. From her slightly protruding belly, it could be seen that her figure was slightly plump.
However, her skin was well-maintained, and the makeup on her face was also very beautiful.
At this moment, the woman who was called Madam Ye had her eyebrows raised. She was looking at Su Wan with a sullen face, as if a storm was brewing in her eyes.
Who Is this Madam Ye?
When did I offend her?
Su Wan met the terrifying gaze of Madam Ye, and she was baffled.
“You’re that Su Wan–”
Su Wan subconsciously stood up and looked around at the expressions of the people around her.
When she saw those people gloating and waiting to watch a good show, Su Wan secretly cursed in her heart.
It was just that she could not recall what kind of entanglement she had with this Madam Ye, let alone whether she had offended her.
But it was obvious that the other party had come with ill intentions.
Su Wan frowned and looked at Madam Ye warily. Her voice carried a certain degree of estrangement. Although it was not respectful, at least it was considered polite.
“I am Su Wan. May I ask, Madam, who are you–”
Before Su Wan could finish her words, she saw the other party gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth and directly scolding her.
“Shameless vixen, didn’t you just hook up with the emperor? You’re just a piece of trash that can be f.u.c.ked by anyone with money, yet you actually dared to injure our Keller. You’re really shameless!”
As she spoke, Madam Ye was so angry that she stomped her feet. Her pair of furious beautiful eyes were about to spit fire.
Keller?
Su Wan couldn’t bear to listen to Madam Ye’s obscenities. When Su Wan heard the name Keller, she didn’t feel any sense of familiarity.
It was not until Madam Ye said that Keller was injured that Su Wan barely remembered who this person was.
So it was the young master who tried to buy her back for fun in the underground auction house?!
When Su Wan thought of that n.o.ble young master’s face, she felt disgusted…
Seeing that Su Wan was still standing at the side with a carefree expression, Madam Ye was even more furious. She felt that she had nowhere to vent her anger.
She looked at Su Wan’s beautiful face and immediately rushed forward. She was so noisy that she wanted to scratch Su Wan’s face.
“Foxy woman! Aren’t you just a little better looking? I’m going to slap your face today!”
Madam Ye raised her hand high, wanting to slap Su Wan’s face a few times!
It would be best if she could scratch Su Wan’s face!
As long as she saw Su Wan, she would immediately think of her son’s broken ribs and the way he looked when he was recuperating from his illness. How pitiful!
Su Wan felt the gust of wind that came through the air and subconsciously dodged to the side.
However, all of a sudden, the other party’s hand froze in midair.
Su Wan did not have time to think clearly before she heard a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered. It was sharp and almost pierced through her eardrums.
“Young master Fiennes, what are you doing?! Don’t stop me from hitting this vixen!”
What a shrew…
Su Wan felt as if her ears were going deaf from all the noise!
Hearing Madam Ye say Fiennes, Su Wan could not help but be stunned.
She initially thought that it was Jiang Xuecheng that had arrived. However, after taking a closer look, she realized that the person who had grabbed Madam Ye’s wrist was not the man she had been longing for.
The other party was tall and his pair of blue eyes were sparkling.
It was no doubt Fiennes.
