Ch 237: Xiao Caiyin’s Excitement
Xiao Caiyin’s entrance perfectly exemplified what it meant to add brilliance to a humble place.
In an instant, the entire hall brightened, simultaneously attracting everyone’s gaze.
Today, she wore a black women’s suit, her expression serious and devoid of smiles, exuding a cold temperament.
Her features were inherently refined, cold and elegant yet not vulgar, her entire being radiating a powerful aura that involuntarily inspired self-abasement and awe.
Kong Yunmeng was already considered a very beautiful woman; wherever she went, she became the center of attention, surrounded and adored. Yet, in front of Xiao Caiyin, she paled in comparison, her light completely eclipsed by Xiao Caiyin at their first encounter.
However, she felt no jealousy or hostility, for she understood clearly that she was completely unqualified to compare herself to someone like Xiao Caiyin, a gifted prodigy who surpassed her in background, knowledge, and beauty.
For someone like Xiao Caiyin, she only felt envy and adoration.
Deep down, she yearned to become someone like her.
Xiao Caiyin’s appearance brought about a brief silence; everyone stopped talking, gazing at Xiao Caiyin in astonishment.
Every man, whether single, in a relationship, or married, upon Xiao Caiyin’s arrival, unconsciously straightened up, presenting what they considered their most charming side. Even though they knew deep down that someone like Xiao Caiyin would never consider them, they still acted this way.
It was an instinctive reaction, and deep within their hearts, they truly harbored such fantasies.
Never mind the rest, what if, what if?
Especially Cheng Feichi; his eyes no longer rested on Kong Yunmeng; they were fixed on Xiao Caiyin, his face full of admiration and infatuation.
The only one who could maintain his composure was Su Chen.
Upon seeing Xiao Caiyin, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, subconsciously retreating into the crowd to hide himself, unwilling to be seen by Xiao Caiyin.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of Xiao Caiyin, but that he was too lazy to face her, to avoid awkwardness.
However, this action, observed by some, was perceived as a sign of inferiority, prompting even more disdain towards him.
“Look, it’s really Xiao Caiyin!”
“Old Wu was right, Xiao Caiyin is much more beautiful in person than in magazines; her temperament is exceptional!”
“That’s obvious. Miss Xiao is not only beautiful; she’s also the General Manager of Xiao Corporation, a powerful figure, a super Rich Second Generation.”
“Beautiful, she’s truly stunning! I wonder which man is so lucky to marry such a top-notch beauty.”
“Stop dreaming; it certainly won’t be any of us…”
Xiao Caiyin was accustomed to these gazes; she walked forward without looking sideways.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a familiar name, causing a momentary fluctuation on her cold face.
“Su Chen, didn’t you say you were the Chairman of Su Corporation? You’re so amazing, you must know Xiao Caiyin, so why didn’t you greet her and instead hid yourself?”
Huh? Su Chen?
Hearing this, Xiao Caiyin was slightly startled. She subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice…
In the crowd, Su Chen heard Cheng Feichi’s words and frowned, muttering to himself that this was bad.
Sure enough, the next moment, he saw Xiao Caiyin looking in his direction, and she saw him.
The moment Xiao Caiyin saw Su Chen, her icy face instantly melted, revealing a complex expression—surprise, resentment, nervousness, and excitement…
Memories of her experiences with Su Chen flooded her mind.
They hadn’t seen each other for quite some time; during that period, they hadn’t even exchanged messages, completely withdrawing from each other’s lives.
This wasn’t easy for Xiao Caiyin; she made a great effort, engaging in considerable self-reflection, to gradually let go of Su Chen.
But now, today, at a time and place she never anticipated, she had suddenly encountered Su Chen. Memories locked deep in her mind surged back like a tide, instantly engulfing her.
Simultaneously, it shattered the wall she had painstakingly built these days; the emotions she had forcibly suppressed rebounded, becoming even more turbulent!
Like an illness, the first time you contract it, it’s often not that severe. But once cured, if you don’t maintain good health, it will relapse more severely!
That was Xiao Caiyin’s current state.
Su Chen sighed softly; he hadn’t expected to be discovered by Xiao Caiyin, what bad luck.
Hearing Cheng Feichi’s words, the others also looked at Su Chen; they seemed to have found an outlet, mocking him unrestrainedly.
“Hahaha, Su Chen, Manager Cheng is right, you’re the CEO of a group, how can you be so cowardly, hiding yourself?”
“What CEO? He’s just a nobody; he must feel inferior when facing a Big Shot like Xiao Caiyin.”
“What a pathetic loser.”
They found satisfaction in mocking Su Chen, smiles appearing on their faces.
They felt inferior in front of Xiao Caiyin, but in front of Su Chen, they considered themselves Successful People.
But at that moment, they witnessed a shocking scene: Xiao Caiyin, who had passed by them, stopped and turned around, walking towards them!
And on her face, there were expressions of expectation and excitement!
What the heck is going on?
Many were stunned to see Xiao Caiyin approaching; then, they became excited and elated, like they had been injected with stimulants.
Every male classmate straightened their posture, like they’d been injected with stimulants.
Cheng Feichi was particularly excited, his hands trembling slightly because he saw that Xiao Caiyin was walking directly towards him!
Kong Yunmeng was also somewhat surprised; why would such a Big Shot like Xiao Caiyin come to them?
Could Cheng Feichi have become so successful that he had befriended someone of Xiao Caiyin’s Level?
If that were the case, then she would have to secure Cheng Feichi.
It never occurred to her that Xiao Caiyin was looking for Su Chen; in her opinion, that was simply impossible.
In fact, not only her, but everyone thought so.
Soon, Xiao Caiyin walked over. Before she could speak, Cheng Feichi eagerly stepped forward, displaying his most handsome smile and greeting Xiao Caiyin, “Mr. Xiao, hello. We met six months ago; I didn’t expect you to remember me…”
Cheng Feichi was thrilled, already envisioning a bright future for himself having won Xiao Caiyin’s favor!
However, what followed was an awkward moment for him. Xiao Caiyin walked straight past him and quickly went to Su Chen, saying with excitement and apprehension, “Su Chen, long time no see, how have you been?”
As soon as she said this, a deathly silence fell over the entire hall.
