Su Ming’s smile froze. He was a few years older than Yan Shen. When Su Kun’s business had been on par with the Yan family’s, his family and the Yan family had been neighbors.

At that time, his mother had passed away for a few years, and his father was busy with his business and had no time to take care of him. There were only two nannies at home, and he was in his rebellious period. He was lawless and had done enough damage to his own family, turning his attention to the Yan family next door.

At that time, Yan Shen’s sister was understudying with Yan Shen’s father. Yan Shen was the only one left in the Yan family, and he looked easy to bully.

That was why, when Su Ming had nothing to do, he would tease Yan Shen. He would only stop when the latter was annoyed. Later on, his family moved to B City. He did not know much about the relationship between adults, so he did not keep in touch with Yan Shen.

However, who knew that this kid still held a grudge? After so long, he still had to scold him the first time he saw him.

Su Ming’s smile was immediately replaced by a bitter one. “Good fellow, can’t you be more generous? How long did I tease you? You still remember all these years?”

Yan Shen sneered and did not say anything else. Chu Ning looked at the interaction between the two of them and found it interesting. She secretly gave Yan Shen a look: You two know each other?

Yan Shen nodded imperceptibly. The expression on his face did not change much. Chu Ning understood that it was probably a minor fight when they were young.

When Su Ming saw the two of them giving each other looks and treating him as invisible, he coughed lightly to attract Chu Ning’s attention. Only then did he say, “Speaking of which, I’m here to apologize to Ms. Chu.”

Chu Ning looked at Su Ming in confusion. She did not know why he would say that.

There was a hint of remorse on Su Ming’s face. “Ms. Chu should have had a copy of the invitation card, but something went wrong when my subordinates delivered it, and they left out Ms. Chu’s copy. After everyone boarded the ship, I checked the name list and found out that Ms. Chu was on the list of family members. That was when I found out about this.”

When he saw Chu Ning’s expression of sudden realization, Su Ming knew that no matter what she thought, this reason was too obvious.

Su Ming handed the invitation card to Chu Ning. “This is your invitation card. Also, to express my apologies, you will enjoy a 20% discount on the final price of all the items in the auction.”

When Chu Ning heard this offer, she was also slightly surprised. It seemed like Su Ming was truly sincere. Whether he was truly apologizing or expressing his goodwill, Chu Ning did not care.

Chu Ning understood very well that there was no need to get to the bottom of some things. Confusion was also a different kind of clarity.

She smiled even more politely at Su Ming. “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Su. I wonder how your father has been recently?”

When Su Ming saw that the matter was over, he sighed at Chu Ning’s transparency. “Father has been doing very well recently. He has also mentioned Ms. Chu to me. Father rarely praises someone, and Ms. Chu is one of them.”

Chu Ning smiled modestly. “That’s really flattering me. With the status of the Su family and Mr. Su Kun, I can be proud of myself for some time if I can get a compliment.”

Yan Shen felt that the people around him had the intention of approaching them again, but the two of them were like playing Tai Chi.

Yan Shen could only quietly nudge Chu Ning’s arm, indicating for her to stop pestering Su Ming about this.

Su Ming saw their small actions and found it funny. They were still children indeed. They didn’t even try to restrain themselves when they did these things.

Su Ming smiled at Chu Ning and Yan Shen. “I still have other guests to entertain. Ms. Chu and Young Master Yan, don’t stand on ceremony. Enjoy yourselves.”

Chu Ning and Yan Shen hurriedly told him to go ahead, and not to delay his work.

When Su Ming walked a few meters away, Chu Ning slowly sat down on the sofa. She rubbed the invitation card in her hand and fell into deep thought.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Shen sat down beside Chu Ning and looked at her thoughtful expression.

Yan Shen did not like to beat around the bush. When his sister attacked Chu Ning, he chose to send her to and from school. He did not leave her side every day, like a block of wood.

Although he had changed a lot, he still didn’t want to take one step at a time like Chu Ning. Moreover, using his brain like this was also a form of pressure on his body.
