The Billionaire’s Stand-In Bride

Chapter 53: Getting slapped in the face

Fu Nancheng arrived, and as expected, he did not disappoint her. "Su Ci, my husband is here, you just watch." With that, Su Xue lifted the hem of her dress and ran to greet Fu Nancheng. The Su family had already crowded forward, especially Su Wan'er, who squeezed in next to Su Xue. She wanted to get a good look at the wealthy boyfriend Su Xue had brought. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was tense and enthusiastic, everyone held their breath waiting for Fu Nancheng's entrance. Su Ci's clear eyes also turned towards the door, and soon a figure leaped into view. She was slightly startled because it wasn't Fu Nancheng who came, but an... old man. The old man's entrance completely froze the smile on Su Xue's face. She was dumbfounded; the person she was waiting for was not the handsome and noble Fu Nancheng, but an old man in his seventies or eighties. The scene was in an uproar, Su Wan'er exclaimed, "Xue Xue, is this your wealthy boyfriend? How could you date an... old man?" "No, he's not my boyfriend!" Su Xue hurriedly explained. By this time, the old man had already reached her, and Su Xue angrily said, "Who are you, who let you in, someone, quickly throw him out!" The old man was dressed in a Zhongshan suit, clearly a butler from a prestigious household. He looked at Su Xue, "Miss Su Xue, hello, I will leave, but before I go, I must take back the Di Ji Star from around your neck. This Di Ji Star does not belong to you." What? Take back the Di Ji Star? Su Xue immediately covered the Di Ji Star around her neck with her hand, "What right do you have to take back my Di Ji Star? This Di Ji Star is mine, if it doesn't belong to me, then who does it belong to?"

The old man smiled faintly, then made a gesture. Two burly black-clad bodyguards immediately stepped forward and yanked the Emperor's Star from Su Xue's neck. The dazzling diamond cut Su Xue's neck, leaving a trail of blood. 'Ah!' Su Xue screamed. 'Xue Xue!' Li Lan immediately shielded Su Xue in her arms, berating angrily, 'Who are you people, daring to commit violence at our Su family? Someone, come quickly!' 'Shut up! Stop making a fuss!' Su Changrong stepped forward, glaring furiously at Li Lan and Su Xue. Li Lan and Su Xue did not recognize who this old man was, but Su Changrong saw the silver button on the old man's sleeve, which was engraved with the character 'Fu'. This was the butler sent by Fu Nancheng! The butler put the Emperor's Star back into the treasure box, then politely said, 'Excuse us.' After saying this, the butler left with his men. Once they were gone, the scene erupted. Su Wan'er immediately said, 'Xue Xue, your taste is really too heavy, how could you find an old man as a boyfriend?' Uncle Su Jun and Auntie also couldn't wait to jump in, 'Finding an old man is one thing, but to be dumped by him on the spot, Xue Xue, how could you not even handle an old man, and now, the Emperor's Star that was within reach is gone.'

Uncle's family has always been jealous of Su Xue for finding a boyfriend who could afford the Emperor's Star. Now they are the happiest, and they will surely not miss the chance to kick her when she is down. Su Xue is utterly devastated. She doesn't even know what's happening right now. Why isn't Fu Nancheng coming? And where did this old man come from? "No, that old man is really not my boyfriend!" Su Xue still wants to explain. But no one wants to listen to her explanation. Those who were flattering her just a moment ago quickly put on a disdainful face and began to criticize, "President Su, is this your ideal son-in-law?" "Your daughter's boyfriend is so old, I don't know whether you should call him dad or he should call you dad."
