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

Chapter 114 Fortunately, he had everything she loved.

Xu Nianhe no longer wanted to speak.

She now strongly suspects that the Su Ruan she knew before is not the same person as the Su Ruan in front of her.

Where does that Su Ruan get her air of nobility and arrogance?

All I could see was the same weariness and resentment she felt.

She said she used to think her grandmother was right, that getting into a good university meant you would have a bright future.

But after actually getting into a good university, I realized that I was still nothing.

Moreover, after I came out, I realized that there are always people more capable than me and things beyond my understanding.

Passing the exam is just the beginning.

At the nearby schools, you can get in, graduate, and consider yourself successful and retired.

However, the better the school, the greater the pressure later on.

Your classmates are all pursuing master's degrees, doctorates, or studying abroad, while you struggled to even graduate with a bachelor's degree.

She used to think that her academic qualifications were an honor to be known, but if she were to say that she had a bachelor’s degree, it would become a disgrace.

So she wanted to take a different path, before her undergraduate status at J University was tainted.

As an undergraduate student at an ordinary university, Xu Nianhe could not understand the pressure from Suzhou Software.

But she understood Su Ruan's desire to climb up the ladder with all her might.

She said she wanted to find a new way out for herself before the summer break of her junior year.

If Su Ruan back then were the Su Ruan of today, why would she abandon the right path and follow her down the wrong one?

A short while later, Su Ruan entered the arena again.

Xu Nianhe noticed it immediately because her gaze was fixed on the doorway.

Su Ruan was dressed in a dark red trailing gown, paired with ruby earrings and a matching necklace. Every step she took was graceful and elegant, making her look extremely luxurious.

This was a scene she could only dream of.

Wearing an extremely luxurious gown and adorned with expensive jewelry, she stood under the spotlight, the center of attention.

Su Ruan gracefully walked into the crowd once again.

"Excuse me."

Everyone looked at her, their eyes filled with amazement.

If Su Ruan was low-key and reserved before, then Su Ruan now is charismatic and radiant.

Like a cold and alluring black rose, its beauty is incredibly oppressive.

Su Qingyao and the others looked at Su Ruan and Lu Yanci.

These two outfits are clearly a couple's set; their intentions are obvious to everyone.

Su Ruan's ears also turned slightly red.

She followed Lu Shuangshuang to the dressing room, and when she saw the dress that Lu Yanci's assistant brought over, she already sensed something was wrong.

But by then she had no other choice.

She wasn't born into an aristocratic family, and she didn't have the habit of bringing a change of dress to banquets.

Lu Shuangshuang added fuel to the fire, saying that Lu Yanci specially picked out this dress for her so that the two dresses would complement each other and look like a couple's outfit.

However, after being laughed at by Lu Shuangshuang, she is now much more accepting of everyone's strange looks.

Since everyone had heard Lu Yanci publicly express his pursuit of Su Ruan, there was no uproar at this moment.

Su Zhe's expression darkened when he saw the dress Su Ruan was wearing.

He glanced at Lu Yanci, the instigator.

But he found that Lu Yanci's gaze was fixed on Su Ruan, and his eyes were filled with admiration that was almost overflowing from his eyes.

"Promising!"

Su Zhe chuckled to himself.

Lin Zhiyu's eyes were blazing with anger.

She already knew Su Ruan was beautiful, but what bothered her even more now was the dress Su Ruan was wearing!

Couple style!

Why should I?!

She had secretly coveted Lu Yanci for so many years, and even tried to get in touch with Lu Shuangshuang.

What makes this woman named Su Ruan so special?

As Lin Zhiyu's aunt, Lin Xiran naturally knew about Lin Zhiyu's feelings for Lu Yanci.

She hadn't objected to Tong Yao's methods before, thinking that she could nip the problem in the bud as soon as it arose.

Little did they know that Lu Yanci was so stubborn, and Su Ruan was so difficult to deal with.

Even though the two had only known each other for a short time, all her plans had already fallen through.

But at this moment, she couldn't do anything more.

If Su Ruan is indeed Su Zhe's illegitimate daughter, then it's acceptable for her to bully her secretly.

But Su Zhe insisted that he was that woman's uncle.

Being an uncle is a very delicate position.

Sometimes, he cares even more about protecting his niece than he does about being a father.

Especially this one who was just recognized and is still in the process of building rapport.

Once Su Ruan had stopped, Su Zhe introduced her to Old Master Xia: "This is my niece, Su Ruan. I hope you will take good care of her in the future."

Grandpa Xia stroked his beard, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Good! Very good! Your niece is going to be extraordinary in the future."

Su Zhe chuckled, showing no humility whatsoever.

Su Ruan, on the other hand, seemed a little embarrassed.

She never thought she was particularly outstanding.

Compared to those truly outstanding geniuses, she is still far behind.

"You flatter me, Mr. Xia!"

After exchanging greetings, Grandpa Xia introduced the Xia family members to Su Ruan.

There was no one she wanted to meet that day.

That most outstanding prodigy of the Xia family.

Several younger members of the Xia family also showed her goodwill.

Then they were asked to take Su Ruan and the other younger members of the family to play together.

With the Lu, Su, and Xia families by her side, Su Ruan never encountered any more trouble.

Of course, their group also included Wen Yubai, the successor of the legendary healer, and Lin Mo, the eldest son of the Lin family.

Lin Mo didn't comfort his aunt and younger sister; instead, he followed Su Ruan and her small group.

Su Qingqian entered the venue with Su Qingyao and naturally did not encounter any difficulties.

The banquet began to become exceptionally harmonious.

Su Ruan, who had been vaguely worried about Su Qingqian, finally felt completely relieved.

At the same time, it became clear that the reason Su Qingqian was harassed at the banquet in the original text was because others did not approve of her standing next to Lu Yanci.

However, her previous thinking was biased, assuming that all the disasters Su Qingqian faced were caused by Lu Yanci.

After the banquet, Su Ruan wanted to return the dress and jewelry to Lu Yanci, but Lu Yanci refused.

"This was originally prepared for you."

"I just didn't expect you to arrive at the banquet alone ahead of time."

Su Ruan raised an eyebrow. "So, you're blaming me?"

"I only said I would come, not that I would come with you."

Lu Yanci was shocked. He was innocent!

That expression was too obvious and too exaggerated.

Su Ruan couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm just kidding."

She then held up the priceless jewelry she had just taken off.

Are you sure you want to give me all of these?
