Chapter 3 : The Generous Gift

Su Wan Ying followed the palace secretary into the executive elevator, leaving her uncle's family standing there in a daze. "Son-in-law, who was that person?" Huang Hui licked her lips. "Such an imposing presence." "Mom, please don't speak recklessly. That person is the personal secretary of Vice Chairman Zheng, from the Chamber of Commerce!" Qian Shao Jun wiped his sweat. "Why did they only invite Su Wan Ying in?" Qian Shao Jun shook his head. "I don't know. Let's go back first, Grandma is still waiting." Meanwhile, Su Wan Ying was sitting obediently in the VIP room of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. The silence inside and outside the VIP room was terrifying, exuding a unique majesty that made her uncomfortable. Footsteps sounded, and she saw the palace secretary entering with an elderly man with graying temples. "Miss Wan Ying, this is our Chamber of Commerce's Chairman Zheng!" the palace secretary introduced, but was interrupted by the old man. "Enough with the Chairman Zheng, just call me by my name, Wan Nian Zheng." Su Wan Ying was overjoyed. Meeting the Vice Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce meant she had a chance to request an invitation. She didn't know why the other party was being so polite, but she was about to speak when Zheng Wan Nian took out a luxurious purple-gold envelope. "Ah, Chairman Zheng, what is this?" "Inside is an invitation prepared for you, and there is also a gift." Zheng Wan Nian patted his hands, and two beautiful and tall girls entered with an even more luxurious gift box in their hands. Before Su Wan Ying could react, Zheng Wan Nian had already opened the gift box. In an instant, it was dazzling and eye-catching. It was a Chanel custom-made evening gown from the Magic Queen series. Red was usually a taboo for evening gowns as it could appear tacky. But this one was different. With the decoration of hundreds of carat purple diamonds, it exuded a low-key luxury. Su Wan Ying had seen the introduction of this evening gown in a fashion magazine. She knew that this gown was the epitome of luxury, and the gems on the dress alone were worth a fortune! At this moment, Zheng Wan Nian put down the gift box and pushed the envelope towards her. "This is a gift from our Four Seas Chamber of Commerce Chairman for Miss Wan Ying. Please accept it." Su Wan Ying came back to her senses and swallowed her saliva. "Chairman Zheng, can you give me a moment to think?" She touched her burning face and took a while to calm down. "I don't understand why the Chairman would give me such a precious gift." Zheng Wan Nian paused for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Misunderstanding, Miss Wan Ying. Our Chairman is still in his prime, young and handsome. He is not even thirty years old this year." Su Wan Ying blushed. She thought that the Chairman of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce must be an old man. But a young and handsome super-rich man giving her such an ambiguous gift made it even more suspicious. "I'm sorry, I can't accept..." Su Wan Ying hadn't finished her sentence when Zheng Wan Nian turned and walked away, waving his hand. "Miss Wan Ying, I have delivered the items. You must accept them." The VIP room fell silent once again. Su Wan Ying felt like she was in a dream. She had to accept it? She was starting to feel scared now and wanted to leave. But looking at the envelope containing the invitation and thinking about her father's worried face, she hesitated. Moreover, if she could get this invitation, could she change her grandmother's mind and avoid being forced into a marriage? Almost involuntarily, she called Chen Qingzhi: "Hey, have you arrived home? Um, there's something I need you to analyze for me." Before she could finish explaining the whole situation, Chen Qingzhi interrupted her. "Accept it!" Su Wan Ying was angry. "Hey, there's a young and wealthy guy who sent your wife an evening gown. Are you even a man? You let me accept it without understanding the situation?" Chen Qingzhi sneered. "Because you must accept it and attend the banquet in order to have a chance to meet the Chamber of Commerce Chairman and find out what's going on!" Click. The call ended. Damn it, that bastard made sense and there was no way to refute it. Su Wan Ying let out a sigh of relief, picked up the gift box and envelope, and left.
