Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

"Which Xia family?"

Although she knew that the Xia family Lu Yanci would go to was most likely the Xia family she thought it was, she still asked directly.

Lu Yanci smiled and said, "It's the Xia family you think it is."

Su Ruan pouted.

You're so smart, you can guess everything.

Despite her annoyance, she really needed to visit the Xia family.

Not for any other reason than that the eldest son of the Xia family is the director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, who is in charge of the review and supervision of special catering establishments like Ding Shi Ji.

Although we don't need it for now, we'll definitely have to deal with it a lot in the future.

After all, if Dingshiji wants to grow bigger and stronger in the future and open more branches, it will be inseparable from the review and supervision of relevant departments.

Didn't you see that wealthy heirs like Su Qingyao and Lu Yanci are planning to attend this banquet?

Moreover, given the level of this banquet, she should be able to meet quite a few people.

Building a career largely depends on connections. She has some advantages now, but what she lacks is connections.

As for the melodramatic events that occurred at the banquet, those revolved around the female lead, Su Qingqian.

Now that Su Qingqian is not with Lu Yanci, it is naturally impossible for her to attend this banquet.

The character settings have all changed, so the previous plot no longer has a breeding ground.

Besides, she didn't plan to go with Lu Yanci.

She immediately sent a message to Su Qingyao, "Could you get me an invitation to the Xia family's banquet?"

Su Qingyao replied to her messages almost instantly.

"What, are you going by yourself? I thought you were going with that guy surnamed Lu."

Su Qingyao's voice trailed off with a teasing tone.

Just as Su Ruan was thinking about how to reply, Su Qingyao sent another message.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone bring it to you in a bit."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Qingyao!"

She knew she should go to Su Qingyao; Su Qingyao would definitely do as she wished.

But Lu Yanci might not be so sure.

After securing the invitations, Su Ruan replied to Lu Yanci with a single word: "Go."

Then I put down my phone, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed my clothes.

Although she wasn't stained with blood, she was still inevitably tainted with the smell of blood.

I finally felt refreshed after washing and changing.

And on my phone, I finally received messages from the classmates who went to the police station to testify.

"We have given statements based on all our observations and submitted video evidence. Rest assured, we will not allow you to be slandered again."

They experienced just last week how disgusting the "procreation rumors" were.

That was just a rumor spread by a classmate.

This time, it was someone else's own mother who spread rumors.

Although their classmates all knew what was going on, their dinner party last week was even used by some people on the campus forum to stir up trouble in a sarcastic way.

But what about those who don't know the truth?

Once this rumor spreads, there will always be some people who choose to believe the mother.

After all, who would believe that their own mother would spread false rumors about her daughter?

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome! That auntie went too far. She was clearly making baseless accusations to extort money. What kind of mother would harm her daughter like that!"

Yes, what kind of mother would harm her daughter like that?

Su Ruan transferred 2000 yuan to everyone who was willing to testify as a thank you.

"Don't refuse, consider it a reward for your hard work in making this trip."

"Since Miss Ruanruan puts it that way, then we won't stand on ceremony."

Everyone knows that Su Ruan is rich.

Even if it was a persona before, nobody knew that.

Nowadays, Su Ruan's persona as a rich young lady has become deeply ingrained in people's minds.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all about receiving the young lady's thank-you fee.

After all, everyone has their own way of expressing their feelings.

Those who can get into J University are not only intelligent, but also have a more open-minded perspective on issues.

Just like last time when Su Ruan said she was treating people to dinner in the cafeteria, no one said that Su Ruan was showing off her wealth or throwing money at people. On the contrary, they all happily went to support her.

In fact, everyone hopes that their kindness will be recognized.

It doesn't necessarily have to be money.

But if it's money, they won't be so high and mighty as to say no.

Su Ruan felt a warm glow inside as she watched the transfers being claimed one by one.

She's not good at socializing; I prefer straightforward people like her.

After chatting with them, Su Ruan pulled out a photo of Su Qingqian that she had saved on her phone before.

She has an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, a high nose bridge, and cherry lips. She is gentle and elegant, yet also has a touch of cuteness.

Then compare this to what we saw earlier about Su's mother and eldest brother.

Although Su's mother also had an oval face and almond eyes, she had a more heroic air about her overall appearance because her nose had a very obvious nasal peak and a slightly pointed tip, and her mouth was also larger and thinner.

Looking at the eldest brother, although his face is a bit chubby, obscuring part of his bone structure, it is still obvious that he has a square face, high brow bones, thin lips, and a similarly sharp and broad nose.

But Su Qingqian is different.

Her nose was high, yet small and straight, a stark contrast to that of her mother and son.

Her mouth was also completely different from theirs.

Although both have oval faces, Su Qingqian's is noticeably more delicate, while her mother's is rounder.

The eldest brother's face shape was even more different, probably because he resembled Su's father.

Moreover, Su Qingqian is the female lead, so the author probably wouldn't actually give her such a family background.

In her previous life, she only saw half of it, witnessing Su Qingqian finally gaining recognition in the Lu family through her personal charm.

But what about after that?

At that time, Su Qingqian's background already caused a lot of trouble.

The best way to resolve the troubles caused by her background is to give Su Qingqian a different background.

For example, the Su family of Yuncheng, another top-tier family, has a daughter who was lost when she was young.

Speaking of which, Su Qingyao and Su Qingqian do look somewhat alike.

However, Su Qingqian's eyes lacked that alluring curve; her gaze and lips, however, looked somewhat similar to Su Chen'an's.

Su Ruan had an urge to immediately tell Su Qingyao this conjecture.

But this matter is of great importance.

They've already gone through the previous family reunion blunder.

Su Ruan decided to tell Su Qingyao her guess when she met her in person tonight.

As for whether or not to conduct an analysis, that's their business.

Su Ruan admitted that she just wanted her female protagonist to get rid of that kind of family of origin and didn't want her to be burdened by such relatives for the rest of her life.

But Su Ruan didn't think she was wrong.

What if Su Qingqian really isn't their biological daughter?

What right did they have to mentally abuse her like that?

If it turns out she was wrong, then she will protect her baby girl in her own way.

Because she harbored a beautiful expectation in her heart, Su Ruan even took a long time to suppress the excitement in her heart before she could calm down and continue writing her thesis.

On the other side, Lu Yanci was already getting his seventh set of clothes.

After Lu Shuangshuang finished her makeup and styling, she found that her brother, who should have been sitting in the living room waiting for her, was still arguing about an outfit.

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? Why are you showing off like a peacock? Tell me, which girl did you meet up with?"
