So, she had been waiting for Lin Jingshu to introduce her.
In her view, she was the nailed-on future Mrs. Qiao, and Ming Zhengxun would give face to even the poor relatives of the Lin family, so it would be impossible not to give face to her, the future Mrs. Qiao.
It was because of this puzzling and hungry premonition that after seeing Lin Jingshu directly ignore her, she took the initiative to question her.
As a result, Ming Zhengxun bluntly said in front of everyone that he didn’t want to know who she was.
Though the words were light, they directly swelled her face.
Su Suqin’s expression beca distorted in an instant, and she faced the surrounding "attentive" gazes with irritation.
This ti, even Qiao Sheng didn’t expect Su Suqin to cause trouble in this kind of situation, so his face instantly looked even more displeased.
He didn’t need to look at everyone’s gaze to know how they would mock him in private for bringing soone like Su Suqin, who couldn’t be shown on stage, here.
Recalling the previous banquets he attended with Lin Jingshu, she was gentle and courteous, always gaining him plenty of face. Then looking at Su Suqin now...
He found that every ti he appeared with Su Suqin in so important occasions, basically everyone would treat him as a joke.
By comparison, the strange emotions Qiao Sheng felt since Lin Jingshu appeared at the banquet grew even stronger.
His gaze briefly rested on Lin Jingshu’s beautiful face and figure, then withdrew it, turned to Su Suqin, and said in a deep voice:
"You should speak less."
Originally, Su Suqin, who had completely lost face because of Ming Zhengxun’s words, didn’t expect that Qiao Sheng, who always loved her, would actually reprimand her in public, and was instantly angered, unable to catch her breath.
Just as she was about to say sothing, she heard Lin Jingshu laugh and say to her:
"The hospitality should be for the guests, and you, who ca uninvited and followed President Qiao for a free al and drink, my ignoring you is already giving you the maximum face."
She narrowed her eyes, and her gentle face gained a touch of coldness, "If you want to take it seriously, with your behavior of freeloading like a beggar, I will kick you out."
"You..."
"But, today is, after all, my father’s good day, and I indeed shouldn’t ignore you. So, let introduce you formally now?"
With that said, she looked at Ming Zhengxun with a smile, causing his eyebrows to furrow involuntarily, and then listened to Lin Jingshu point at Su Suqin and introduce her:
"This is the confidante who has been by President Qiao’s side for over twenty years. As for now, she has not been officially recognized, so let’s just call her President Qiao’s girlfriend."
After Lin Jingshu finished the introduction, Su Suqin’s face was already as black as the bottom of a pot, her facial features distorted due to anger.
This was still not enough, as Ming Zhengxun’s displeased voice then sounded, heavy and solemn, "Senior Sister."
He didn’t look at Su Suqin, but locked his eyes on Lin Jingshu’s face, the deep bottom of his eyes filled with an unreadable light.
"Although I’m indeed approachable, you shouldn’t introduce to any old riff-raff without discrimination."
Ming Zhengxun’s words directly peeled off Su Suqin’s face, giving her no face at all.
Indeed, Ming Zhengxun was truly approachable to outsiders, so approachable that even a street beggar could co up to him and he would respond and chat for a bit.
