Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce

Chapter 369: The Banquet Began

“I won’t trouble master Xia. I can find it myself,” Su Yan said as she kept her ID card.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zijian nodded and said, “Alright then. Since that’s the case, you can go up by yourself.”

After the two of them separated, Su Yan pulled her suitcase and directly entered the elevator. Xia Zijian looked at her back and smiled before turning around to leave the hotel. After entering the presidential suite, Su Yan laid on the bed and rested for a while. There was still some time before the birthday banquet, and this place was very close to the banquet, so she had plenty of time to put on her makeup and dress up.

Xia Jiang, the big shot in the business world, was celebrating his 66th birthday. The birthday banquet would definitely be grand. She had to be a little more dressed up, or else it would seem a little disrespectful.

..

At eight o’clock in the evening, Su Yan successfully arrived at the banquet venue. Since the last time she had dinner with Xia Jiang, the two of them had not seen each other for a long time. Su Yan had just stepped into the banquet hall when a young female secretary came over to invite her, so she carried the beautifully wrapped birthday gift and left with Xia Jiang’s secretary.

In a room on the first floor of the banquet hall, Xia Jiang’s secretary pushed the door open and Su Yan walked in. Today, she wore a light yellow vertical-patterned dress. Although it wasn’t as grand as a gown, she was dressed appropriately and formally.

As soon as she entered, Xia Jiang smiled and said, “Miss Su, long time no see. Please take a seat.”

Su Yan also smiled as she walked up and handed over the gift in her hand. “President Xia, I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and a long life.”

Xia Jiang smiled as he received the birthday gift and said politely, “Miss Su, I’m already very happy that you can come.”

Su Yan used her hand to move her long skirt down from her buttocks and sat down beside him. “President Xia, it’s your sixty-sixth birthday. How can I come empty-handed?”

Xia Jiang smiled and said, “You’re always like this. You’re always so polite to others.”

Xia Zijian wasn’t spouting nonsense. He really admired Su Yan very much. As a senior and big shot in the business world, this was the first time he had met someone like Su Yan. In his eyes, Su Yan was very modest and low-key, but she had a proud and unyielding character. She was a typical person who was gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. What he admired the most was that Su Yan was able to be so levelheadded and thoughtful at such a young age. With just these two points alone, Su Yan had already surpassed many of her peers.

Until now, he still remembered the first time he met Su Yan. At that time, she was a little girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. She was naive, cute, and sensible. She was very polite when dealing with people and spoke softly and gently, giving people a good first impression.

At that time, the first thing he heard Su Yan say was, “I want to start my own investment company.”

Many people were laughing at Su Yan’s whimsical idea. Some people said that her ideals were very lofty, but unfeasible in reality. There were even people who said that they wanted to keep Su Yan as her mistress. There were also people who suggested that she find a rich second generation to marry, so without even starting her own business, she could directly reach the pinnacle of her life.

Listening to the laughter of the crowd and enduring the looks of disdain and lust from the crowd, the young Su Yan stood there without moving. She looked at the crowd with a calm and indifferent expression throughout the entire process. Finally, she said to everyone, “Seniors, please remember my name. Soon, you will know that I am not joking.”

Xia Jiang was already a big shot in the business world at that time. Although his view of Su Yan was different from the people around him, he didn’t take Su Yan’s words seriously. After all, there were many young people with dreams. However, those who could really achieve it were very rare. Even if Su Yan looked very confident, she was just reckless.

However, a few years later, when he met Su Yan again, not only did Su Yan achieve her original goal, but she also managed to develop Xuanwen Group to a certain scale. What surprised him the most was, Su Yan’s vision was too good. Any investment project that she was optimistic about would not lose money. Su Yan was also very low-key and never revealed her true identity. Therefore, she had been quietly earning a lot of money.

Xia Jiang believed that if those who had looked down on Su Yan in the past knew that she was Miss Summer, their jaws would probably drop.

The last time he met Su Yan, he found that the little girl looked very weak, but the confidence and dominance in her bones had soared. Not only had she become more mature, but she had also become more levelheaded, especially when she spoke. She always gave people a positive feeling, and she was very resolute in everything she did.
