Chapter Thirty-Two: Shock

  Is there such a feeling, at some point in an unfamiliar time, in an unfamiliar place, under the influence of an event that can almost stir up waves in a dull life, one or two unforgettable people will always be left behind.

  For Wang Weiwei, life has its ups and downs, but it's not all turbulent. After all, his family has always been strict with him, and the days of going out with his buddies day and night are limited. They don't do anything too extreme even when they're being reckless, but they never get taken advantage of anywhere. Like that time Su Can teased them, it was a first, but it had a fresh feeling like a big girl getting married for the first time.

  King Weiwei was surrounded by flatterers, but after returning, he couldn't help but feel that Su Can was extraordinary. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. From initially wanting to learn from him, he began to want to befriend him. Although King Weiwei knew many people, he wasn't arrogant and would consider getting to know someone better if they left a deep impression on him. After all, his usual interactions with others at social events were enough to make him suffer. This time, he happened to meet someone he admired. But who would have thought that from then on, Su Can and the others seemed to vanish into thin air in that game room, becoming one of King Weiwei's regrets.

  He looked down and saw Su Can, originally planning to say hello, but Wang Weiwei didn't plan to leave, sitting down beside Su Can with a great mood, chatting with them about everything under the sun.

  Zhang Xi has been arrogant since just now, but now he is restrained like a normal person. Li Ai occasionally interjected with Wang Weiwei beside him, trying to win his favor. This is the reality of this circle. Wang Weiwei's family is in Xia Hai City, and even someone with a good family background like Zhang Xi doesn't dare show arrogance.

  Wang Weiwei was a man of great experience and insight, he had long passed the stage where he needed to save face in front of unrelated people. He didn't think it was inappropriate for him to deliberately try to get to know Su Can, on the contrary, he felt that this showed sufficient respect for Su Can.

  The people around looked different, observing words and expressions is the most basic thing to do in this circle, but seeing Zhang Xi reveal a flattering smile, and even taking care of all their accounts, the prince was extremely respectful to Su Canli, anyone with discerning eyes could see it. Wang Weiwei and Zhang Xili had just exchanged greetings and wanted to leave, but now that they saw Su Canli and others, they stayed behind, obviously this prince valued Su Canli more than Zhang Xi, Li Ai, Sun Ziyi and others.

  Zhang Xi met Wang Weiwei at a military district banquet hosted by his own respected grandfather, where Zhang Xi's impression of his grandfather was that he was always looked up to and obeyed wherever he went, with great official authority. However, when they arrived at the government compound, his grandfather, who usually had a stern expression, surprisingly showed a smile whenever he met someone.

  Grandpa has always been the center of attention, but at that banquet, he and Grandpa were sitting on the sidelines. Others just gave them a brief greeting before going to toast with Wang Weiwei's family. Zhang Xi, who had experienced such gatherings many times, naturally saw who was the center of attention and knew that Wang Weiwei came from a military and political background and was also a big shot.

  When he heard that he was scolded, he hesitated and asked, "Weiwei, you were scolded... what's going on?" He also thought that Wang Weiwei was a gentle and easy-going person, but it was just making a big deal out of nothing, just joking around.

  Who would have thought that Wang Weiwei pointed at Su Can without hesitation, haha laughed, "Still not Su Can, actually scolded me as trash, and scolded our whole family, making us ashamed, but really can't refute! Master!"

  Xue Yi Yang, Liu Rui's face was sweating, Su Can also smiled wryly, "Alright, it's just that you have a big temper, if it were someone else I wouldn't be like this either!"

  Wang Weiwei himself said that he was still a bit uncomfortable in his heart, but who knew that Su Can would make him feel better with just one sentence.

  Everyone at the next table fell silent, and in the eyes of the crowd, the majestic Wang Wei, who was like a crown prince, was actually scolded by Su Can as "trash". Now everyone looked at Su Can with a few points of reverence and doubt, reevaluating his background and identity once again.

  Zhang Xi's heart skipped a beat, and Li Ai's gaze at Su Can changed. He didn't expect this kid to be so fearless, even daring to scold Wang Weiwei. Wang Weiwei was easy-going, but his family background was notorious for being violent and explosive. The fact that they could tolerate Su Can's behavior made him involuntarily evoke a sense of awe.

  As for what exactly happened that made Wang Weiwei get scolded, they didn't dare to ask further, after all, Wang Weiwei didn't say anything on the surface, who knows if he's unhappy in his heart.

  It was as if they had been gilded with gold again. Several girls who originally looked down on Su Can's humble origins couldn't help but feel enthusiastic once more.

  Chen Lingshan couldn't help but take a few more glances at Su Can, Wang Weiwei's conversation was extraordinary, and no one competed with him for the central position, even Zhang Xi and others were subdued. But Su Can could talk to him enthusiastically, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, as if he didn't have any humility due to his superior family background. This made him stand out even more.

  There were a few girls who occasionally flirted with him, and Su Can also smiled and welcomed them, but his eyes never looked at her again.

  Chen Lingshan thought back to her previous cold attitude after learning about Su Can's true identity, and couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret in her heart.

  "Then, she mentioned you to me again, haha, we're just at the neighboring villa, want to come and play together? Wang Weiwei didn't invite Zhang Xi first, but instead invited Su Can."

  Lin Huoran? Zhang Xi's mind was racing, the stunning beauty at the banquet that day, many people were secretly inquiring about her background. With her ethereal and otherworldly beauty, she had even been mentioned alongside Su Can? Was she nearby? Zhang Xi's heart skipped a beat, his mind reeling with the possibility of what might have happened between them.

  If they were to find out that both parties actually met and got to know each other in a run-down game room, it would be somewhat laughable and tear-jerking.

  "It's getting late, we're done here, let's just head home." Su Canwen refused.

  Wang Wei nodded, not forcing the issue. After all, their circle didn't really mesh with Su Can's calm and elegant demeanor. He wasn't annoyed at being rejected, but instead admired Su Can's nonchalant attitude. He asked for Su Can's phone number and left with a smile, of course not forgetting to settle the bill for the whole table.

  Finally, the big team rode their bicycles around the sea and back home. When entering the city, Wang Xuebing distributed the money for each person's share to everyone. Today, everyone had a great time riding bicycles all day, eating barbecue by the sea, and someone even treated them to food. Everyone was in an exceptionally good mood. As they were about to part ways, the chubby girl from the same department as Su Can's mother, who had previously been too shy to speak up, mustered up her courage and said, "Su Can, come play at our school sometime, I'll treat you!"

  Su Can responded and, along with Xue Yiyang and Liu Rui, turned the car around to prepare to leave the main force separately.

  Chen Lingshan wanted to speak several times, but stopped herself, seemingly wanting to say something, yet not knowing how to express her apology. She watched as the three of them rode their bikes away into the distance on the streets lined with camphor trees, feeling a sense of loss and guilt in her heart.
