Free Web NovelChapter 1480: Chapter 1480: Su Zining Hires a Fake Mom
Seeing his daughter cry, Yang Tian felt especially awful inside, but even if he could bring his daughter the best things in the world, this one dream of hers absolutely could not come true, because a melon forced off the vine is never sweet.
Even if you tie someone to your side, what’s the point? And they didn’t dare to go up against Xiao Group anyway.
Besides, if Xiao Group really wanted to arrange a marriage with Xu Ke, all they could do was watch from the sidelines; there was nothing else they could do.
The boys around them were all jealous. They’d been wanting to climb up to the Xingyu Group heiress for years, but the Xingyu Group heiress had never even given them a proper look.
She wasn’t even willing to say a single word to them, so what was there to pick on about Xu Ke? Fine, the Xingyu Group heiress had a noble status, but even these guys probably weren’t fit to carry her shoes.
"My god, if it were me I’d have agreed already. Sure, he’s a bit worse than that Xiao Group heiress, but this kind of devotion is something to be envied. What man wouldn’t want that?"
"Exactly. I heard the Xingyu Group heiress is super proud and aloof, normally doesn’t look twice at people, yet she just had to fall for Xu Ke, and she’s head over heels. Where are you going to find someone so devoted?"
"I heard even Xiao Group looks down on Xu Ke. I just think that person must be the type who refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit."
The so-called Xu Ke in their eyes had already finished getting ready. Today was Xiao Keyi’s birthday banquet, and the old man would also be announcing Xiao Keyi’s destined one today.
Although there’d been an accident at the old man’s banquet last time, this time the old man had already held a press conference a few days ago, saying that today there would definitely be a result. Even those reporters were all waiting.
At the moment, the reporters were all scrambling for spots. If they grabbed a good position, they might be able to ask a few more questions, so they absolutely couldn’t fall behind.
As soon as they saw Xu Ke, it was like they’d spotted something explosive, and they swarmed toward him.
"May we ask what exactly is going on with this whole matter? Please explain it for us. Are you really the destined one Old Master Xiao mentioned? If you are, then why was there an accident at Old Master Xiao’s 80th birthday?"
"Between you and Su Zining, who’s the real one? Can you explain that?"
"How have you prepared for today? We heard Su Zining is here too, and that he’s brought his own mother, so are the two of you going to be two men fighting over one woman today?"
The reporters’ questions were exceptionally sharp, and many people were paying attention, but before Xu Ke had time to answer,
Su Zining had already walked up in front of the reporters, holding a lady by the hand. That lady did look elegant and noble; who knew how much he’d paid to hire her?
Xu Ke just smiled. Fake was fake. The truth would naturally be revealed soon enough.
"I’m really sorry, but let me answer that question. I’m the real one, after all. As for the fake, at the very least he’ll have to let the old master verify it. You’ll all see when the time comes, so I hope everyone won’t be impatient."
As Su Zining spoke, he started introducing his mother to the reporters, and immediately all the reporters felt that since Su Zining was so confident, he had to be the real one. Otherwise, why would he be so sure of himself?
They instead looked at Xu Ke with eyes full of doubt, while Xu Ke didn’t care at all about the reporters’ looks. Reporters were always just chasing wind and shadows; they’d only give up once they saw the real result.
Su Zining really wasn’t shy at all. He kept introducing and, on top of that, spun a whole background story, which actually got the reporters starting to believe him.
"I originally thought Xu Ke was serious when he said he just needed time to find evidence, and that he could actually find it. But now it looks like Xu Ke is the fake one, just putting on a front. Maybe the people here today are all hired with money."
"Exactly. If he were real, why wouldn’t he answer our questions? He should be eager to respond right now, but he keeps dodging us. Looks like he’s fake and doesn’t dare show his hand!"
"Look at the watch on that lady’s wrist, that’s a Rolex. And every piece of clothing she’s wearing is a name brand. Now that looks like the real deal. That woman next to Xu Ke might look a bit younger, but her outfit’s nothing special at all—you can’t tell any brand from it."
The reporters were all commenting away, completely unaware that they’d already been led into a ditch.
So at this point, all the reporters believed that Su Zining was the real one, and they kept buttering up the woman next to him.
The woman was originally just rented, and at a high price too. Su Zining had paid her 5,000 yuan to act for a day, and she even got to attend an upper-class birthday party. What an honor, so she’d agreed right away.
However, at this moment, Su Zining still felt this wasn’t enough.
To make himself seem even more convincing, Su Zining actually took this woman and started badmouthing Xu Ke right in front of many reporters.
"Oh, this is my mom. She came because she hopes everyone can get to know each other more. But there are some people we’d better not associate with too much, otherwise they keep bringing fakes over to scam us."
As Su Zining spoke, his former direct supervisor had already pushed his way over. He’d heard that Su Zining had turned his life around thanks to this ’destined one’ business, so even a direct supervisor
had to give Su Zining some face now. If Su Zining really rose up, he wouldn’t need to work at their building materials company anymore, so President Li came over right away.
"Wow, I didn’t expect it—Little Su is really one of the elites now. You’ll have to look after me more in the future. Back at the company I took quite good care of you, didn’t I? If you hadn’t left, you’d already be a department manager by now. It’s really a bit of a pity, I’m reluctant to see you go. When will the two of us go out for a drink?"
President Li was speaking extremely politely now, constantly bringing up their past relationship. Su Zining just rolled his eyes. He was about to win the favor of the Xiao Family; why would he still bother with the boss of a building materials company?
So Su Zining didn’t bother to hide his ambition at all.
"Back then, President Li really did think I didn’t have any ability, and you scolded me in front of everyone. Now you need me to promote you? Besides, we were never brothers, and there won’t be any chances to drink together in the future. So, President Li, no need to flatter me."
What Su Zining said was extremely clear. Everyone present could hear that his relationship with President Li wasn’t good at all, and that now President Li was probably finished.
