Chapter 1215: How Come I Didn’t Know?
Chapter 1215: How Come I Didn’t Know?
She and Chu Lianxin share the same birthday, and they were simply swapped at the hospital. Su Li happened to be born half an hour earlier than Chu Lianxin, so Chu Lianxin outright calls her "sister." Anyone who doesn’t know might think the two are real sisters.No one doubted it, after all, Su Li is a woman who can donate twenty billion to the nation and owns gold mines; supporting her younger sister with some money to start a business doesn’t seem wrong.
"Mr. Chu, congratulations, truly congratulations! Your three children are so outstanding: some starting companies, others going abroad to study at prestigious schools — not many in our Jiangzhou Prefecture’s elite circles can compare."
"Truly a family of dragons and phoenixes; with such an excellent elder sister like Su Li, the younger sister can’t be lacking. I’ll definitely attend Miss Lianxin’s company’s opening ceremony. How much did Miss Su Li sponsor?" another wealthy guest asked with a smile.
Chu Lianxin couldn’t make up her mind and feared Su Li might interrupt, so she hesitated a bit before saying, "Not much, she invested five hundred million in me first, yes, five hundred million."
Su Li stood beside Feng Huaijin, coldly watching Chu Lianxin, who couldn’t hide her self-satisfied expression.
This woman actually pulled such a stunt on her?
She was clearly trying to morally coerce her; after publicly announcing it, where would she have room to back out later? Wouldn’t they laugh at her to death then?
Really, what a clever plan!
Amidst everyone’s congratulations and the harmonious atmosphere, suddenly a clear and cold voice cut through like a sword.
"Why don’t I know about this?"
Everyone froze, and following the voice, they realized it was Feng Huaijin, Mr. Qi.
Chu Lianxin was internally flustered, touched her hair, and smiled as she said, "Future brother-in-law, you might not know because of your busy schedule, but Sister Su Li promised me previously to invest in my... "
"Perfume company? I’m afraid that’s not possible." Feng Huaijin’s tone was flat, his expression cold and indifferent, making people feel he seemed to be angry.
Chu Lianxin was somewhat dumbfounded and even more anxious inside.
She never expected Su Li and Feng Huaijin to disregard the facade like this and publicly question her.
"It’s true, Sister Su Li she..."
"Miss Su Li probably wouldn’t agree, right?" someone among the guests said unconsciously, "Isn’t it known that you need connections to survive in the perfume industry, with various quality and pharmaceutical inspections that would make anyone’s head spin? It’s not just about investment."
"Right, that’s impossible, isn’t it? Fourth Master Feng manages floriculture, and his company fully monopolizes the global perfume industry!" A wealthy second-generation squeezed his eyes, speaking quietly, "Who doesn’t know that Fourth Master Feng and Mr. Qi are in a competitive relationship..."
Back then, Mr. Qi caused Fourth Master Feng to stay in the hospital for half a year; this matter was known all over Hua Country. Although they are said to be half-brothers, they are practically enemies.
If Su Li were to invest in Chu Lianxin’s perfume company, she would definitely help with connections, and this... isn’t this just asking for trouble?
She clearly knows that her fiancé, Fourth Master Feng, is the leader in the perfume industry. Is she running directly into getting reined in and having to look at people’s expressions?
Su Li is, after all, the boss of a renowned company; how could she not consider this point and create trouble for her fiancé?
It’s said that the Chu Family’s farewell party sent an invitation to Feng Ciye, but Feng Ciye didn’t come at all and only sent a gift instead.
Doesn’t this clearly show that Feng Si and Feng Qi’s relationship is as tense as fire and water?
Everyone’s gaze towards Chu Lianxin became somewhat strange; could it be she never discussed it with Su Li at all?
Chu Lianxin was completely dumbfounded, never expecting things to turn out the way they did.
