Chapter 50: Ulterior Motive

Suddenly, Pei Xu turned around and headed towards Shen Xi. Displaying his gentility, he lowered his body with a bow. “Congratulations.”

Su Ruowan’s arm was suspended in midair awkwardly as she watched Pei Xu offering the bouquet to Shen Xi. It was getting harder for her to contain her rage!

B*tch!

What a little b*tch Shen Xi was!

That woman seduced Pei Xu!

Pei Xu should be in love with her, and even if she did not want him, Shen Xi could not have him!

It never occurred to Li Jingran that Pei Xu would present Shen Xi with flowers. Observing the awkward state her daughter was in, Li Jingran turned to Su Mushi off the stage.

Su Mushi was without flowers. He watched the whole scene on stage unfolded with a grimace, wishing nothing more than to tear Pei Xu and Shen Xi to pieces.

Just then.

Out of nowhere, a man approached from the audience stand. All the spotlights were on him.

Adorned in a white suit, the man was dressed to the nines. The gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose bridge added an air of elegance to him.

Behind the glasses were a pair of smiley and frisky eyes. The sparkling brilliance within gave an illusion of tenderness that could make one go weak in the knees with just one look.

The man was holding a bouquet of blossoming white roses. The pure and untainted color accentuated his gorgeous face, making him rather irresistible.

Everyone was drooling over the man’s looks as they could not keep their eyes away from him. This was a man whose bearing and appearance were simply perfection.

With her eyes lit up, Li Jingran let out a sigh of relief before winking at him to present the flowers to Su Ruowan.

Su Ruowan was relieved as well. It did not matter that she was without Pei Xu’s flowers because flowers from Situ Zhangyou beat Pei Xu a million times and more.

Situ Zhangyou and Mom were on good terms since they were in a movie together last year and he even came by their house for a meal. Surely, he was there to offer Mom flowers.

Li Jingran’s mind was put to rest. Her daughter would definitely be trending online for a chance to boost her popularity, with flowers from Zhangyou.

The only son to a family with a history in medicine, Zhangyou was at the tender age of twenty. Zhangyou was her favorite choice for a son-in-law had it not been the promise of marriage between Wanwan and the Gu family early on.

This child had the looks and bearing. In the short two years in showbiz, the fan base he built was comparable to A-listers.

Taking the hint from Li Jingran, Su Ruowan knew that Situ Zhangyou was about to present her flowers. She let out a gentle smile and made sure she was in her best shape while getting ready to accept the flowers.

Situ Zhangyou went up on stage and nodded at Li Jingran in greeting. However, he did not stop and continued walking to Shen Xi.

Staring at the ever-popular influential figure in showbiz standing before her, Shen Xi’s eyes alighted with a hint of doubt. Did she know him?

“Ms. Shen, I love your dance. Congratulations on winning.” Situ Zhangyou elegantly grinned at the girl with a blank expression.

By right, his looks set him above the masses of celebrities. Yet, this girl showed no reaction.

She should at least drool a little. The indifferent look on her face frustrated him!

“Thank you.” Shen Xi calmly accepted the flowers.

Did he really come bearing flowers because he loved her dance?

Her sixth sense picked up on his ulterior motive!

“Mighty oaks from little acorns grow. Ms. Shen, though inexperienced, you have already accomplished such achievements.” Situ Zhangyou could sense the girl’s probing eyes.

Was he discovered?

Interesting. She was high on guard.

Invited to the dance finals, Zhangyou happened to run into Xuan Yuan and found out that the incredible young lady mentioned by Kun Lun was also in the competition.

He wanted to see for himself what was so special about the young lady that had his boss on tenterhooks and Xuan Yuan watching over.

About to lose it, Su Ruowan tried to pull herself together from bursting out in rage.
