Su Ding observed everything, having seen their publicized romance recently. Xue Zhi Qiao appeared very close to her in the photos, and his gaze was truthful.
“Should have? Did you invite him?” Su Ding asked with a smile.
“No…” Xin Jia Er felt awkward about extending an invitation, as if it were not modest enough.
Su Ding let out an “Ah,” “He doesn’t know it’s your birthday today either?”
“I know he’s been working overtime these past few days on filming.”
“Who are you?”
Xin Jia Er looked at the man in confusion.
The man didn’t speak, nodded at Su Ding, then took Xin Jia Er by the waist and led her to the dance floor.
Xin Jia Er didn’t refuse either, dancing under his lead.
Su Ding breathed a sigh of relief, about to sneak away from the dance floor.
Suddenly, a man blocked her path, “Beautiful lady, may I invite you for a dance?”
Just as Su Ding was about to refuse, the man pulled off his mask, revealing half his face.
Jiang Chu smiled, “Give me a chance, won’t you?”
Su Ding hadn’t seen him for a few days and wanted to ask about that Mr. D, so she agreed.
They slowly moved their feet to the music.
Su Ding whispered, “That friend of yours who added me last time, what’s his background?”
Hearing her mention this, Jiang Chu thought for a moment, “I’m not very clear about that myself. He’s a friend of a friend’s relative, I suppose. It’s said he’s in the jewelry business in the Southern Territory.”
“Oh, I see,” Su Ding responded softly.
That person claimed to have known her mother well and seemed quite knowledgeable about the Ouyang family.
But he always felt rather mysterious.
She worried a bit about being deceived, yet the jade pendant was real…
“What’s wrong? What did he say to you?”
Seeing Su Ding’s troubled expression, Jiang Chu frowned and asked.
Su Ding smiled, “It’s nothing, he said he knew my mother, that’s why he asked.”
Jiang Chu nodded.
They continued dancing, immersed in the melody, their moods seeming to become somewhat cheerful.
Suddenly, Su Ding noticed a couple lingering nearby.
Jiang Chu also noticed and intentionally shifted to the side.
The couple also moved with them, an uncomfortable situation for anyone.
But soon, the man on that side let go of his companion and walked over.
Without a word, he grabbed Su Ding’s wrist and pulled her away from Jiang Chu.
Su Ding, wearing high heels, stumbled from the pull.
“Sir, sir…”
She shook the man off forcefully. Jiang Chu came over and put his arm around her shoulder protectively.
The man opposite pulled off his mask, revealing a somber face.
It was Jin Ye!
