673 Meeting an Acquaintance
Chu Ning raised the invitation in her hand and smiled slyly. “So, in the Su family’s eyes, I’m also considered a young talent.”
When Yan Shen heard this, he nodded solemnly, and his eyes softened.
Chu Ning was a little embarrassed by Yan Shen’s seriousness. She put away the invitation and suggested, “Let’s go and mingle around too?”
Yan Shen nodded, and the pair walked side by side into the crowd.
Yan Shen wanted to stay with Chu Ning, but as soon as he moved, groups of people came to chat with him, holding their cups.
Chu Ning saw that he was trapped and couldn’t get out. She could only give him a look that told him ‘good luck’ from afar. Then, she went around the crowd and continued to look for a suitable person to talk to.
After a few steps, Chu Ning was stopped by another voice. “Chu Ning?”
At the sound of a familiar voice, Chu Ning turned to see Zhou Wei walking over with a wine glass.
Chu Ning looked around and was a little surprised to see that Zhou Wei was alone. When Zhou Wei walked up to her, Chu Ning asked with a smile, “You’re the only one from the Zhou family?”
Zhou Wei pursed his lips. He looked a little impatient and lowered his voice. “Zhou Hao is older. There are a few younger ones here. However, they went into the crowd like mosquitoes seeing blood.”
Chu Ning chuckled. “Zhou Hao wanted to get on this big ship of the Su family before, but he didn’t use the right method and lost a lot of face. This time, it was a good opportunity, but he missed out as he’s of the wrong age. He probably smashed things in anger.”
Zhou Wei also laughed. “You’re really vengeful. You don’t want to miss out on anything that can cause trouble for Zhou Hao.”
Chu Ning raised her glass and clinked it with Zhou Hao’s. She blinked. “Aren’t you the same?”
The two of them laughed in tacit understanding. At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted and asked with a smile, “Zhou Wei? You can also chat so happily with these business elites?”
Zhou Wei’s smile froze. When he looked at that person, his face had already fallen. “Liu Hai, if you don’t know how to speak, you can shut your mouth.”
Chu Ning saw the change in Zhou Wei’s expression and knew that he must be someone Zhou Wei knew. She had just taken a sip of fruit juice when she heard his name. She almost choked on her juice.
She had seen this person in the information she had. He was the famous second-generation heir of the Liu family. However, she heard that he got married early and had a good son. The Liu family was prepared to directly pass the company over to his son.
Logically speaking, anyone with a little ambition would not be too willing to do so. Liu Hai was different. Not only did he raise his hands in approval, but he also publicly expressed that he was not promising. It was the same for his son if he was successful.
Now, this extraordinary person was standing in front of Chu Ning. She looked at him curiously, but unfortunately found that this extraordinary person did not look remarkably different. His appearance could be considered handsome, but with his temperament, it was obvious that he was ignorant and incompetent.
Liu Hai didn’t act out of place at all. He patted Zhou Wei’s shoulder and tilted his body, wanting to lean on Zhou Wei, but Zhou Wei dodged and he almost fell to the ground.
He straightened up, tidied his suit, cleared his throat, and put on a gentleman’s appearance. He smiled and asked, “May I have the honor of knowing the name of this young and beautiful lady?”
Chu Ning burst out laughing. Zhou Wei snorted and coldly spat, “What a s*cumbag.”
Liu Hai did not take Zhou Wei’s words to heart at all. He even looked at Chu Ning with a smile.
Chu Ning did not know much about the Liu family, but to be able to have such a good relationship with Zhou Wei and not be at a disadvantage, he was definitely not a simple person.
She returned the smile and replied, “My name is Chu Ning. Nice to meet you.”
Liu Hai said with an exaggerated expression, “Ms. Chu’s name is really nice. To be able to attend such a high-level banquet at such a young age, Miss Chu is really young and promising!”
Chu Ning keenly sensed that something was wrong. She was very sensitive to people’s emotions. This small advantage helped her avoid a lot of trouble.
Now, she could feel Liu Hai’s malice towards her. Although he hid it well, Chu Ning was still able to sniff out some clues.
Chu Ning immediately became alert. She looked at Liu Hai’s smile and knew that he came with bad intentions.
