Chapter 112 There are still women you can't catch.
The man looked at her with cold eyes, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
Rong Shu saw the mockery in his eyes and couldn't help but frown.
What does he mean by that?
An Qingyue then walked to Sheng Tingchen's side and affectionately took his arm. "Brother Chen, what are you looking at?"
An Qingyue lowered her eyes and saw Jiang Huaixu and Evelynn, and her expression darkened.
Rong Shu lowered her eyes and looked away. Jiang Huaixu said, "Let's go!"
Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm" and walked forward with Jiang Huaixu, where they encountered some acquaintances who came over to chat.
An Qingyue took Sheng Tingchen's arm and walked downstairs.
Today, An Qingyue wore a white fitted dress, her long hair styled in an updo adorned with pearls, looking pure and flawless. The man beside her wore a burgundy suit, handsome and noble, with deep-set eyes that carried a captivatingly alluring charm.
The two of them looked very well-matched walking together.
Many people in the banquet hall saw the two and couldn't help but compare them to Jiang Huaixu and his female companion.
Both can be described as having absolutely top-tier beauty and temperament.
The simultaneous appearance of these two couples was so dazzling and eye-catching that even the people around them and the bright crystal lights seemed to become mere foils to them.
I met Sheng Tingchen.
Someone approached and struck up a conversation, holding up a wine glass.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu were quite far from Sheng Tingchen and the other person, and could barely see each other anymore.
To Rong Shu's surprise, she ran into David, a fellow PhD student at Stanford University. He was British, blond, and blue-eyed, a typical handsome British man.
He had pursued her quite passionately when they were in the United States.
But Rong Shu refused very decisively.
David didn't harbor any resentment towards Rong Shu, only felt frustrated. "Evelynn, you're the first woman to reject me, but I really admire you. So, can we continue being friends?"
Rong Shu still admires David very much, but aside from his private life, her admiration is limited to his personal abilities.
He had also saved his own life.
The two are friends with a fairly good relationship.
After she returned to her home country, the two gradually lost contact due to their busy work schedules.
I never expected to run into you here.
"Evelynn, you look absolutely gorgeous today! May I invite you to dance?"
Before Rong Shu could say anything...
Jiang Huaixu politely declined, saying, "Mr. David, I'm sorry, Evelynn is my date today, so I'm afraid I can't dance with you."
David looked at Jiang Huaixu, then at Rong Shu's apologetic smile, and said with a smile, "Then next time you have the chance, you can invite Evelynn to dance."
Rong Shu smiled gently, "Okay."
David glanced behind her and said, "I saw someone I know. Evelynn, we can talk later when we have time."
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
David walked past Rong Shu.
Rong Shu glanced back subconsciously and saw Sheng Tingchen. Then David walked up to him, and the two shook hands and greeted each other.
Rong Shu was startled.
David and Sheng Tingchen actually know each other.
"Spruce has a business relationship with the Texas family in the United States."
Jiang Huaixu's voice pulled Rong Shu back to reality.
She glanced at Jiang Huaixu but didn't press the matter further.
"Let's go dance," Jiang Huaixu invited.
Rong Shu hummed in agreement.
The two then walked toward the dance floor, with Jiang Huaixu holding Rong Shu's hand and moving slowly to the rhythm of the music.
Outside the dance floor.
David and Sheng Tingchen were chatting when their gazes fell on a figure in green dancing gracefully on the dance floor. David asked him a question directly, "Tingchen, how do you win over a Chinese girl and get her to agree to be my girlfriend?"
Sheng Tingchen gently swirled the wine in his glass, then tilted his head back slightly to take a sip, and chuckled softly, saying, "And the women you can't win over."
David stared straight at Rong Shu, his emerald eyes filled with undisguised admiration. He said, "Evelynn was the first woman to reject me. I really like her, and I've always thought about her. I came to China this time to see her again."
Sheng Tingchen followed David's gaze, his deep, dark eyes landing on Rong Shu. "You're surrounded by women more attractive than her. Is your lingering attachment to her simply because she rejected you, fueling your desire to conquer her?"
David then looked at Sheng Tingchen and smiled, saying, "It's not just her beauty; she has a very special aura that deeply attracts me. Don't you feel that she's different?"
Sheng Tingchen smiled faintly, his eyes indifferent, and said, "I really don't feel that she is any different from other women."
David laughed, "That must be because you have a girlfriend. Miss Ann is very beautiful too."
An Qingyue finished talking to someone she knew and came over. "Brother Chen, let's go dancing!"
Sheng Tingchen handed his wine glass to a passing staff member and said to David, "Excuse me."
An Qingyue took Sheng Tingchen's arm and went to the dance floor.
David stood there watching Rong Shu dance, then turned and left. He felt he needed to go out and get some fresh sea air.
Sheng Tingchen held the woman's hand and waist, and swayed his feet to the rhythm of the music.
When Rong Shu turned around, she saw the two of them and her eyes met the man's for a few seconds.
Although she really wanted to ignore their presence, seeing the two of them made her physically uncomfortable.
Jiang Huaixu noticed Rong Shu's emotions and asked, "Should we leave first?"
Rong Shu looked up at Jiang Huaixu, then lowered her gaze and said, "There's no need."
She would inevitably run into Sheng Tingchen in the future, and since she couldn't avoid it, she could only try to adapt.
Jiang Huaixu comforted him, saying, "Just relax."
Rong Shu gave a soft "hmm".
The music was about to end.
Sheng Tingchen was so startled by a sudden phone call that he walked out of the dance floor to answer it.
Jiang Huaixu held the woman's hand, preparing to leave the dance floor, while Rong Shu, holding her long, trailing dress, turned around.
With a tearing sound.
Rong Shu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Jiang Huaixu reacted quickly, taking off his suit jacket and draping it over Rong Shu. Rong Shu's dress had a backless design, and the soft satin fabric couldn't withstand any tearing force.
Rong Shu turned around abruptly and heard An Qingyue's apologetic voice, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to step on Miss Evelynn's dress."
He apologized, but his eyes, when looking at Rong Shu, betrayed a chilling coldness.
Rong Shu's voice was icy as she said, "So how do you plan to get my forgiveness? I won't accept just an apology."
An Qingyue's lips curled up. "Want money?"
Rong Shu narrowed her dark eyes slightly.
Jiang Huaixu's voice was stern, "Miss An, don't let people think you're ill-mannered."
An Qingyue looked at Jiang Huaixu, her face instantly turning cold. "Whether I'm well-mannered or not depends on who I'm facing. Someone like her doesn't deserve it." She then added sarcastically, "I thought you had good taste, Jiang Huaixu, but it turns out you only deserve women like her who aren't even presentable."
Rong Shu clenched her fingers.
Just as he was about to raise his hand.
Then a sharp shout came from the man: "You dare to lay a hand on me?"
next second.
Rong Shu grabbed An Qingyue's hair directly.
"ah!!!"
