Few people in Sea City knew Su Ci's true identity.
As CEO, she never appeared at any press conferences or attended any banquets.
For various reasons, even in her hometown, the Capital City, not many people knew her.
The guests were all shocked by her words.
One must know that Changsheng Biotechnology, established only five years ago, had aggressively entered the pharmaceutical industry, a field surrounded by wolves.
Now, it had become the leader of Sea City's pharmaceutical enterprises, its reputation formidable.
Since Changsheng Biotechnology's inception, the CEO's name had remained unchanged.
This meant that Changsheng Biotechnology's current success was entirely due to Su Ci's solo management.
Now that they could see her true face, this banquet was not in vain.
They looked at this young woman, barely in her early twenties, with a sense of awe.
So young, yet with such remarkable achievements, it showed that Su Ci's strength and vision were not to be underestimated.
However, they were all puzzled; they had never heard of any scandalous rumors about Su Ci.
Unexpectedly, she would take a liking to Tang Cheng, this rotten cucumber.
The guests all showed expressions of regret and envy.
Only in Lan Wanting's eyes did a light of hope burst forth.
She thought the same as the guests.
Could it be that the person in front of her liked Tang Cheng?
Then wouldn't the engagement banquet be called off?
This would certainly be a good thing for her.
Then she seemed to think of something else.
The hope in her eyes turned into worry.
Su Ci doing this indeed helped her temporarily escape the troubles brought by the arranged marriage.
But what about Su Ci herself?
She had never seen Su Ci at any of the banquets she had attended.
How much strength could an ordinary person have to contend with the suppression of two families?
She now hoped Su Ci would leave this place quickly.
"Tang Cheng, her, do you know her?"
The Tang Family parents beside him also looked displeased, glaring resentfully at Tang Cheng:
"Didn't I tell you to handle everything well every time? How could such a mess happen?"
Tang Cheng couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva as he looked at Su Ci's appearance, his breathing quickening a few beats.
He had no impression of the woman in front of him.
Could it be that she was attracted by his talent and appearance, falling in love at first sight?
Or was she his secret admirer?
His lower body only thought for two seconds.
Considering their backgrounds, Lan Wanting brought him greater benefits.
But with Su Ci's beauty, developing a secret affair was not impossible.
Now was not the time to talk about such things.
Tang Cheng glanced at his future in-laws, his gaze finally settling on Lan Wanting, his eyes full of deep affection:
"Wanting, please believe me, I absolutely do not know this person. I don't even know her name. This is our first meeting. My heart only has room for you."
After speaking, he rushed furiously towards Su Ci, confronting her: "Where did you come from, you crazy woman, daring to ruin my engagement banquet! I will make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun. Someone, quickly, throw her out."
Before the bodyguards outside could enter, Tang Cheng reached out a hand, intending to grab Su Ci's wrist.
But Su Ci mercilessly slapped it away with one hand, and a postcard, uniquely belonging to Tang Cheng, awkwardly fell to the ground.
Indeed, he was a villain who thought with his lower body.
Su Ci casually slapped Tang Cheng across the face, and with a crisp sound, the air fell silent for a moment.
"Get lost, don't block this young lady's path."
Tang Cheng was knocked to the ground by the slap, crying out in pain.
Clutching his face, he still couldn't hide the five finger marks on it, and with a trembling finger, he pointed at Su Ci:
"Bitch, you bitch, do you, do you know who I am? I will make sure you suffer greatly."
"Isn't it just Tang Cheng, the Young Master of the Tang Family? I'm hitting you precisely because of that."
Su Ci looked at Tang Cheng lying on the ground, then at the grease on her palm, her gaze growing more disdainful:
"This body must be hollowed out by wine and women! You can't even withstand a single slap. How can you give Wanting happiness?"
The sudden scene caught everyone off guard; they all widened their eyes, too shocked to speak.
A woman they had never met dared to hit the Young Master of Sea City's Tang Family, and on his engagement day, no less.
Wasn't this slapping the Tang Family's face in front of everyone?
The Tang Family parents' faces flushed red. Tang Mother immediately knelt to check on her son's condition, glaring venomously at Su Ci: "You slut, how dare you hit my son? Believe it or not, I'll make sure you don't see tomorrow's sun."
If not for the reputation of a prominent family, she would have personally torn the face of the woman in front of her.
Tang Father's eyes seemed to want to devour someone. He looked around, and the bodyguards he had called for a long time were nowhere to be seen: "Bodyguards, where are the bodyguards? The Lan Family only raises a bunch of freeloaders."
Everyone looked back and saw the Lan Family's bodyguards, already lying haphazardly not far from the hall entrance, groaning in pain.
On closer inspection, the only one still standing was the person who had been standing beside Su Ci.
Jiang Su leaped, arriving beside Su Ci and standing quietly, her sharp gaze captivating:
"Who did you say won't see tomorrow's sun?"
"A bunch of curs who can't speak properly. I don't mind tearing your dog mouths apart. If you don't know what decorum is, I'll help you learn some decorum."
With just one look, Tang Mother seemed to have seen a man-eating tiger, and she plopped onto the ground, silenced, not daring to breathe, tiny beads of sweat seeping from her skin.
Tang Father also immediately lost his temper, fearing he would become the one lying on the ground.
He had no doubt that Jiang Su would really dare to lay hands on them.
He felt like an incompetent husband and father.
Tang Father: You do it if you can!
Jiang Su's gaze fell on Lan Hong and the others, who all took a step back.
Su Ci didn't give anyone time to react. She stepped over the two Tang Cheng and others lying on the ground, grabbed the stunned Lan Wanting's wrist, and loudly declared to the still-shaken Lan Hong:
"Old man, I'm interested in your daughter. She's mine now."
With that, Su Ci was about to lead Lan Wanting out, leaving this troublesome place.
At the same time, her eye's detection function activated, and Lan Wanting's panel appeared before Su Ci's eyes:
[Name: Lan Wanting; Identity: Eldest Young Lady of Sea City's Lan Family; Height: 171cm; Weight: 62kg; Appearance: 95; Charm: 82; IQ: 90; Physical Fitness: 6; Plot Kill Probability: 0%; Realm: None; Personal Luck Value: 53021, Luck Color: Red, Contributable Luck Value Percentage: 80%, Favorability: 20]
Everyone's eyes widened, doubting if they had misheard.
It turned out Su Ci wasn't here for Tang Cheng, but for the other female protagonist, Lan Wanting. It sounded somewhat absurd.
But Su Ci's actions told them, with undeniable truth, that she was indeed here for Lan Wanting.
Yet Lan Wanting remained rooted to the spot, like a nail.
She looked at Su Ci's exquisite face, and combined with her inappropriate remarks, it made her, as another woman, skip a beat.
She had once fantasized that someone would take her away from this repulsive engagement banquet.
Now that someone was actually going to take her away, she hesitated.
Lan Wanting's gaze instantly dropped, and she shook her head at Su Ci.
Su Ci tilted her head, feeling a little confused. What was wrong?
It was also disrupting an engagement banquet, but did the female protagonist only want to leave with Ye Chen and not her?
As if sensing the confusion in Su Ci's eyes.
Lan Wanting pulled away from Su Ci's hand, raised her head, and met Su Ci's gaze, a glimmer of hope hidden in her eyes:
"I don't know who you are, but you should leave quickly! Although the Lan Family and Tang Family are not top-tier wealthy families in Sea City, they are not people you can provoke. I can't let you get hurt."
