As soon as Sheng Yunzhou and his female companion entered the venue, Xu Haicheng saw them. But because of his position, he could only see their backs.
At first, he felt that the lady looked familiar, and her back was really pleasing to the eye, so he paid more attention to her.
When she turned around, he was surprised to find that it was Su Yi, whom he had not seen for a while.
Since the last encounter on the roadside of the kindergarten, these days, whenever he passed by that place, he would unconsciously slow down the car and look through the parents outside the window, but he never found Su Yi inside.
While doing all this, he had no idea what he would say if he really met the other party.
He and Su Yi have known each other for quite some time, but they could never be said to have any friendship.
It was just that he and Sheng Yanchuan were good friends, and Su Yi had unilaterally regarded herself as Sheng Yanchuan’s girlfriend, so they had some interactions.
Later, when Lin Luoluo appeared, Su Yi always made things difficult for her. He chose to protect Lin Luoluo.
After several conflicts, the two of them could be said to hate each other. If it weren’t for the accident later, they would probably have hated each other forever.
Of course, it didn’t mean that she didn’t hate him now.
Thinking of the two previous encounters and Su Yi’s complete disregard for him, Xu Haicheng smiled bitterly with almost helplessness.
The other party was still the same, but he had changed when he didn’t even know it.
Was it because of the child?
It was undeniable that although the child did not look like him from the appearance and the attitude of Su Yi and the Su family, he sometimes couldn’t help but think: If it was true…
The solution was simple: a paternity test would do.
He had been hesitant because he knew that if the answer was positive, he would take responsibility, and that meant saying goodbye to his previous relationship and starting over.
He had been guarding Lin Luoluo for ten years, neither close nor far away. He was not sure whether he could let go completely or whether he had the courage to start over.
This was why he had been hesitating.
But his change of mentality was not just because of that child.
Xu Haicheng stared at Su Yi’s delicate profile unconsciously.
He found that she loved to smile now, her eyebrows were always relaxed, and her face no longer had the harshness she used to show when she mocked others. Instead, her face was lively and gorgeous to the extreme.
Among the many ladies at the party, none could compare with her in appearance and temperament.
At this time, he also heard the discussions and speculations of other people on the scene about the two people.
So ridiculous.
This was Xu Haicheng’s first reaction. No one knew Su Yi’s feelings for Sheng Yanchuan better than him, so how could she be involved with the other party’s uncle?
However, there was another voice in his heart saying that if he was considering letting go of Lin Luoluo, why couldn’t Su Yi?
He held the wine glass absentmindedly and seemed to be talking to someone, but he actually didn’t know what he was saying.
When Su Yi was left alone, before he could think, he was already standing in front of the other person.
“Long time no see.”
Su Yi put a piece of creamy cake into her mouth and took a look at him. When facing food, she was always in a good mood, so she didn’t mind talking to the biological father of her cheap son.
“What’s the matter?” Su Yi asked, scooping up a spoonful of ice cream.
On this kind of occasion, everyone was busy socializing. Men talked about economy and cooperation, while women talked about fashion and jewelry.
Most people held a glass of champagne and took a sip from time to time to just wet their lips. There were people who ate like her, but she was the only one who didn’t care about her image or the eyes of others.
She ate generously, but not rudely. Even if she spoke with a spoon, she would only make people feel frank and cute.
Xu Haicheng never knew that he could find so many advantages in Su Yi. Or, was it because of the change of mentality that the feeling was different from before?
He took a sip of wine to hide his absent-mindedness and said, “I just accidentally saw you here. How are you doing recently?”
“Good food and good drinks, what do you think?” Su Yi glanced at him in a hurry, as if to say what nonsense you asked.
Xu Haicheng coughed lightly. No woman had ever been so inattentive when talking to him, not even Lin Luoluo, but he didn’t feel offended at this moment.
Seeing Su Yi leaning forward to get the juice, but because of the inconvenience of the dress on her body, he took the initiative to bring her a glass.
Su Yi then looked him straight in the eye and said, “Thank you.”
At this moment, Xu Haicheng finally realized that in Su Yi’s eyes, he was not more worthy of attention than a glass of juice, and she didn’t even hide this fact.
He had some questions he wanted to ask, such as why she hadn’t picked up the child recently, how she met Sheng Yunzhou, and whether there was really an ambiguous relationship between them.
Now that he knew her mind, he had no right to ask these questions.
Xu Haicheng took a big sip of champagne. When he swallowed it, he saw Sheng Yunzhou walking toward him. The other party’s eyes were on Su Yi all the time. He nodded to him only when he came closer to them.
He also greeted, “Mr. Sheng, nice to meet you.”
Xu Haicheng heard that many years ago, his father and Sheng Yunzhou’s eldest brother were good friends. Unfortunately, the other party died young, and the only remaining head of the family was in poor health and rarely interacted with others, so the friendship between the two families became as shallow as it is now.
