Chapter 242 I Will Accompany You In the Future

Century Hotel, a banquet hall, bathroom.

After hanging up the phone, Su Jianan put the phone back to the handbag. Both of her guilt and conscience were all appearing on her face.

Lu Boyan found Su Jianan answering a phone call for so long. He was worried and when he got to the bathroom, he saw her holding a handbag and standing in front of the mirror with a worried face.

He walked behind her and used the mirror to help her manage her long hair. “What’s the matter?”

“I…” Su Jianan bit her lips and raised her hand to confess. “I just did something bad…”

Lu Boyan felt strange but still stayed calm.

Su Jianan was doing bad things… it was challenging his imagination.

He looked at Su Jianan with great interest. “What bad things did you do? Tell me.”

“I lied to Xiaoxi’s parents…”

The reason why Su Jianan came to the bathroom was that Su Yicheng gave her a call. He soon knew why she lied to Luo Xiaoxi’s parents and who ordered her.

Lu Boyan walked to her. “You can see it from another angle. This is actually a good thing for Xiaoxi. Besides, Luo Xiaoxi’s parents may not doubt you.” She had a credible face.

“…” Su Jianan was speechless, and Lu Boyan’s last sentence… was boasting or blaming?

However, she lived for twenty-four years with few lies. In addition to concealing the love for Lu Boyan, she had few secrets that she couldn’t tell a stranger. Lao Luo and Mrs. Luo had always believed her very much.

“Okay.” Lu Boyan took Su Jianan’s hand. “We should go back to the party.”

They came to the birthday party of the president of the Chamber of Commerce today, and they had no time to offer birthday congratulations, because Su Jianan had received a phone call from Su Yicheng.

Su Jianan checked the long dress, and confirmed that the makeup was fine, and then she held Lu Boyan’s hand to go out.

Lu Boyan took her directly to President Fan, and after greeting and sending gifts, Su Jianan handed out a dark blue gift bag in her hand. “President Fan, this is what my brother asks me to hand over to you—the birthday present. He can’t leave today, and I’ll wish you a happy birthday for him.”

“Thank you, thank you.” President Fan signaled at the assistant to put away the gifts. He looked at Su Jianan from up and down and had to nod again and again. “Hongyuan is so lucky. He has such a good son and such a beautiful daughter. With the president of Lu Enterprises being his son-in-law, he’ll make so many people envy him!”

Su Jianan just modestly smiled. Lu Boyan also saw that she didn’t want to continue this topic, so he wanted to take her away, but the unexpected one came.

“President Fan!” Su Hongyuan’s voice came from afar. “Happy birthday! I am really sorry. Women at home have been slow, so we’re late.”

“That’s fine.” President Fan looked at Su Jianan quietly and saw that her mood did not seem to fluctuate. He thought of the rumors that Su Hongyuan had bad blood with the first wife’s children and was thinking that if it was true.

When hearing Su Hongyuan’s voice, those bad memories automatically reflected on Su Jianan’s mind—

Her mother fell to the ground and finally, died… Jiang Xueli and Su Yuanyuan straightly moved into the Su Family as the hostess and the Young Miss. Su Hongyuan did not show any rejection, and totally forgot that his wife had just died…

She didn’t want to think anymore.

Su Jianan secretly pulled Lu Boyan’s sleeves, and then Lu Boyan took her away. She didn’t even look at the three people from the beginning to the end, let alone greet Su Hongyuan.

President Fan’s doubts were almost confirmed, and his look became subtle.

“Well.” Su Hongyuan sighed with disappointment. “President Fan, sorry to make myself a joke. My eldest daughter is like her brother. She likes to go against me in everything. I have been suffering for almost 10 years.”

“Dad.” Su Yuanyuan smiled and stood up. “Do not talk about those unpleasant things at home. Today is Uncle Fan’s birthday.” She handed a decorated box. “Uncle Fan, I know you like the tea ceremony. This is a tea set I specially selected for you, and I hope you will like it.”

The assistant helped to receive the gift for President Fan, who couldn’t help smiling and said that Su Yuanyuan was clever. Not only did Su Yuanyuan smile, but also Su Hongyuan said with a smile, “Without Yuanyuan, I would have gone mad because the siblings.” He took the opportunity to speak ill of Su Jianan and Su Yicheng.

President Fan was just laughing and didn’t comment.

He had seen the way Su Yicheng’s handled things. He was definitely not the kind of person Su Hongyuan said. As for Su Jianan, although he didn’t know, he believed in Lu Boyan’s eyes.

If someone could let Lu Boyan cancel the meeting and give up the cooperation worth hundreds of millions, she certainly didn’t make him do that with an ill temper.

Su Hongyuan also realized that when President Fan did not speak, he should no longer mention his family matters. Instead, he talked about the things in the business and finally talked about his own company. President Fan knew recently there was a problem with the funding.

Su Yuanyuan accompanied them with a smile, which was sweet and very lovable. She was very good at observing other people. At this moment, she affectionately held President Fan’s hands. “Uncle Fan, can you help my father? My father can’t eat and sleep lately, and he was very tired.”

President Fan smiled and refused. “Do you still need to ask for help with this kind of thing? Lu Enterprises is the son-in-law of Su Enterprise. You can ask Boyan, and this is not a problem at all.”

He implied that he could do nothing.

Su Yuanyuan secretly bit her teeth, but she still smiled on the face and thanked President Fan.

Su Hongyuan and Jiang Xueli on the side certainly didn’t dare to show unhappiness. They had to pretend smiling while planning in their hearts. Would they really ask Su Jianan for help?

On the other side, Su Jianan could not laugh.

Lu Boyan had already noticed that Su Jianan was in a bad mood. He took her to the balcony and isolated them from the noisy banquet hall. She looked at the river view not far, leaned on the fence and did not speak for a long time.

The wind was cool at night, and Lu Boyan worried that she would feel uncomfortable tomorrow, so he took off his coat and put it on her. “Jianan?”

Su Jianan finally turned around and smiled toward Lu Boyan.

“Actually, I don’t care,” she said. “My mom has been away for many years. I hate Su Hongyuan, but I still have to live a good life. Just… when I saw their family of three, I…”

She still couldn’t help but think of her mother’s death, think of the loneliness through her entire life; she still felt wronged and reluctant…

Lu Boyan did not let Su Jianan go on and gently hugged her. “Jianan, you need to remember one thing.”

Su Jianan looked up from his chest. “What?”

“I will accompany you in the future.”

His voice was so light that it faded easily in the night wind, but it was also carved onto Su Jianan’s heart one stroke after another, warming her whole heart.

She buried her head in Lu Boyan’s arms, like a happy ostrich.

Only in front of Lu Boyan, she could feel at ease like an ostrich.

Adjusting the mood, Su Jianan realized that Lu Boyan still needed to go out to socialize, and then she took off his suit jacket and returned it to Lu Boyan. She actively pulled him back to the banquet hall, and squeezed a smile to face the Su Hongyuan’s family of three and others.

When Jiang Xueli saw it, she said, “Jianan, you’re finally willing to look at us. I thought you really didn’t want to meet us.”

“…” Su Jianan did not speak but felt that something was strange. Jiang Xueli was a bit too polite to her, unlike the usual her.

Jiang Xueli continued to smile. “Jianan, I want to keep you for 10 minutes. I want to talk to you alone.” She looked at Lu Boyan.

Su Jianan didn’t know what she would do on earth. At that time, someone happened to call Lu Boyan’s name. She nodded to Lu Boyan and gestured at him to go first.

Lu Boyan let go of her hand. “Don’t run around, I will find you later.”

“Okay.” Su Jianan slightly raised her lips and nodded obediently.

“You two… are getting better and better.” Jiang Xueli spoke sulkily.

Su Jianan looked cold. “What do you want to say?” She didn’t hate nonsense, but the annoying person.

“OK—” Jiang Xueli piled up a smile on her face. “Jianan, your father’s company has some difficulties, which is embarrassing to say to outsiders. And I’m afraid of causing riots and uneasiness to employees. So, we want to ask for Boyan’s help, because he can easily solve the problem of Su Enterprise! You can help to talk about it, can you?”

“Is this what you want to tell me?” Su Jianan asked in reply.

Jiang Xueli smiled again. “The son-in-law helps the father-in-law, isn’t that reasonable?”

“Finished?”

Su Jianan always held a cold attitude, so Jiang Xueli did not speak. She looked at Su Jianan with hope, hoping that the latter could nod.

But Su Jianan turned away and was about to leave.

“Hey, wait!” Jiang Xueli pulled Su Jianan in time. “You haven’t answered me yet? Or are you going to find Lu Boyan to help?”

Su Jianan smiled. “Do you think I will help you?”

Jiang Xueli slowly understood that she had asked for the wrong person. She remembered that she had tried to please Su Jianan just now, so she felt angry. She quickly drew back her hand, and her face became fierce. “Su Jianan, you grew up in Su Family. Now, you’ll do nothing to save us? No wonder they say the married daughter, the split water.”

“First, I and Su Hongyuan have already cut off the relationship between father and daughter. My surname is Su, but I have not been Su Hongyuan’s daughter. Second, my husband has nothing to do with you. What is reasonable? Do you think that everything you want is reasonable, including forcing my mother to die?”

The more she said, the colder Su Jianan looked. She seemed to look through Jiang Xueli. Jiang Xueli feared out of no reason and took a few steps back. “You, you, you.” She stuttered for a long time and finally squeezed out a word while stomping her feet on the floor. “Ungrateful brat!”

“Don’t say that Su Hongyuan didn’t treat me well.” Su Jianan smiled coldly. “Even if he did, and even if I am ungrateful, it is better than you and Su Hongyuan.”

“Su Jianan, who are you talking about!” Su Yuanyuan suddenly appeared.

Su Jianan had a bad premonition. She intended to struggle from Jiang Xueli’s hand, but Jiang Xueli and Su Yuanyuan were too tacit. One tightly took Su Jianan and the other lifted the glass—

The red liquid was poured to her. Su Jianan’s face felt cold, and the aroma of red wine drifted into her nose.

She finally opened her eyes and saw the angry Su Hongyuan striding forward. As soon as he approached, he raised his hand and was going to slap on her cheek—
