Chapter 131: With a Clear Conscience
In the morning, Su Ronggui was called out by Shang Qingmei to accompany her to some salon event, and Su Rongxing also tagged along.
They called it a salon, but it was just a gathering of wealthy wives. Some brought their daughters and sons, chatting, wine tasting, playing golf, playing billiards, each forming their own group.
Su Ronggui sat alone in a corner, flipping through newspapers and magazines.
A few young men tasting wine were chatting about various topics, from economics to international situations, then to food and entertainment. One of them glanced in Su Ronggui’s direction, "Isn’t that Su Zhen’s son? He doesn’t seem quite like when he was in school."
Someone snickered, "Are you talking about Su Rongcheng? Why would he come out with his stepmother! This is the current Mrs. Su’s stepson. You just returned to the country, no wonder you don’t know about the Su family."
"What about the Su family?"
"The Su family? They’re doing well!" someone said with a teasing smile, "It’s just that this Mrs. Su tends to try too hard, but Su Zhen likes it! As for this stepson... he could be a chief reporter. How would he mingle with us ordinary folks?"
Everyone laughed, and someone half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "Come on, don’t act like you’re selling out! You guys are all Demon Lords of Mayhem! You bullied him since you were kids; he wouldn’t dare play with you!"
Someone laughed and said, "What, I heard Mrs. Su likes your sister. This frequent bringing out the stepson, she’s probably trying to match your sister with her stepson’s son. Are you already supporting your future brother-in-law so soon? You seem quite satisfied with this marriage arrangement!"
"Nonsense! Even if I agreed, my parents wouldn’t! Marrying into the Su family? Su Rongcheng would be okay, but he’s already married! A stepson? Forget it! Even if he wears the dragon robe, he doesn’t look like the crown prince!"
Su Ronggui leaned slightly, resting on the sofa, when the magazine in his hand was suddenly taken away.
