Chapter 2025: A Reason One Cannot Refute

Wei Yangyang pulled Su Kexuan away without hesitation.

That impatient manner made Li Xingyan, who was behind her, look resentful.

Wei Yangyang, however, did not notice the change in Li Xingyan's expression.

She and Su Kexuan went together to a corner where there was no one.

Here, Wei Yangyang did not need to keep up appearances anymore and finally relaxed a little.

Then, she smiled and said to Su Kexuan, "It's really great to see a familiar face here!"

"You just have little experience; attend a few more times, and you'll know more people."

Given Wei Yangyang's status, there would certainly be no shortage of people wanting to take the initiative to curry favor with her.

Moreover, the people who frequently attend banquets are always the same ones.

Seeing them over and over, one becomes familiar with them.

But Wei Yangyang did not want to be familiar with others.

She was repelled by attending banquets.

Wei Yangyang always felt that this was not a place she should be.

Thinking this, Wei Yangyang looked toward the lively center of the banquet.

And, not at all surprised, she saw Li Xingyan, who was surrounded by everyone like the moon among stars.

Although Li Xingyan behaved appropriately and performed perfectly, Wei Yangyang knew that he did not like such occasions either.

From this point of view, the two of them were indeed in the same boat.

Wei Yangyang curled the corners of her lips.

Then she withdrew her gaze and explained to Su Kexuan, "Coming here today is just to let everyone know about our relationship as a couple; I won't be attending banquets often."

"But you are Li Xingyan's girlfriend, so it's destined that you won't be able to avoid them."

This...

Wei Yangyang originally wanted to refute this.

But after thinking about it, she gave up.

Actually, what Su Kexuan said was a fact.

A heartbreaking fact.

Wei Yangyang put away the relaxed expression on her face, sighed, and let her shoulders droop.

Seeing this pitiful look, Su Kexuan could not help but pat her head.

Su Kexuan knew why Wei Yangyang did not like it here.

She also knew how to enlighten Wei Yangyang.

Su Kexuan just opened her mouth and said, "Actually, coming here is quite interesting."

Interesting?

Wei Yangyang really could not accept such a viewpoint.

She shrugged and said, "It's interesting to you, but to me... I don't even understand what people are talking about."

"You don't understand because some people deliberately pretend to be profound; when it's clearly something as simple as one plus one equals two, they insist on using advanced mathematics to explain it—it's completely unnecessary."

Wei Yangyang did not react much, but she was listening very seriously.

Su Kexuan continued, "But there are also people who have real ability; one sentence from them can make a person have a sudden realization."

As she finished speaking, Su Kexuan pointed to an elderly gentleman with gray hair.

She said, "That is a Finance scholar; what he says is very interesting and very profound. If you could chat with him for a couple of sentences, you would understand what I mean."

Wei Yangyang looked in the direction Su Kexuan was pointing.

That old gentleman was smiling and looked very amiable.

If there were an opportunity, she would like to see if what Su Kexuan introduced was true.

Wei Yangyang was distracted.

But she suddenly felt her hand being held by Su Kexuan.

Wei Yangyang immediately withdrew her gaze and heard Su Kexuan say, "Some things you might not understand right now, but if you keep them in your heart, one day in the future, they will suddenly bring you insight."

These words were very profound.

Wei Yangyang could not help but fall into deep thought.

However, before she could grasp any principle, Su Kexuan changed her tune: "Besides, in this kind of occasion, you can also observe some gossip!"

Huh?

Su Kexuan's topic changed a bit too quickly.

It went straight from highbrow to lowbrow.

Wei Yangyang's brain did not shift gears in time.

But Su Kexuan had already started giving an example: "Look at that lady over there; she is wearing a brooch."

Wei Yangyang looked over again, following where Su Kexuan pointed.

Then she saw a sapphire brooch, sparkling under the lights, looking quite beautiful.

Su Kexuan, however, said, "That's fake!"

Wei Yangyang immediately asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Because the genuine article is in the Zhanlanguan; the one that lady is wearing might have been bought by her husband to fool her. But she doesn't know and is still wearing it out so brazenly."

After hearing Su Kexuan's introduction, Wei Yangyang looked at that lady again.

The lady was all smiles, and when she talked to people, her hand would unconsciously stroke her neckline.

And right below the neckline was that brooch.

It was evident that she liked this brooch very much, and also very much hoped that the other party would see it and offer a couple of compliments.

Wei Yangyang was very far away from them, and she did not know if anyone had complimented her.

But she felt that this lady was somewhat pitiful.

Su Kexuan felt the same way, and she said, "From this, it can be seen that the relationship between the husband and wife is not good."

"That's right, they're even giving fake goods, so it must be bad."

"That is only one aspect; the main thing is that her husband pays very little attention to her."

Wei Yangyang was stunned, turned her head to the side, and asked, "How do you figure that?"

"If a husband took a careful look at his wife before going out, he would have discovered the brooch. But he didn't even look carefully, doesn't that show that the husband has no place for his wife in his heart?"

After hearing this, Wei Yangyang nodded in sudden realization.

Then, she felt even more sympathy for that lady.

Su Kexuan lightly nudged Wei Yangyang with her arm and asked, "Now let me test you, will the two of them get into an argument today?"

"This... probably not, right?"

"Wrong, they definitely will."

"Why?"

Su Kexuan merely smiled mysteriously: "Wait for me here, and then just wait to watch a good show!"

As her voice fell, Su Kexuan walked over with a seductive posture and began to compliment that lady's brooch.

But before she had said two sentences, that lady's expression changed.

Afterwards, the woman walked aggressively toward her husband.

At the beginning, the two of them were only bickering.

But slowly, their voices grew louder and louder.

In the end, that lady actually started to cry.

In such a setting, the lady's actions were undoubtedly rude, and would also cause others to watch the spectacle.

Su Kexuan was just watching the spectacle.

She didn't just watch it herself; when she walked back to Wei Yangyang's side, she even discussed it with her: "See, they really did start arguing."

Wei Yangyang was dumbfounded.

She slowly turned her head and asked Su Kexuan: "What did you say to that lady?"

"I just told her the truth."

"This... you must have a grudge against them."

"No grudge, but that man is a competitor of mine; if he makes a fool of himself, investors naturally won't consider him anymore."

Wei Yangyang had thought that Su Kexuan was just like her, watching the spectacle.

She hadn't expected that she was actually orchestrating everything!

Wei Yangyang glanced at the chaos over there again, and then tactfully said: "Doing this, it's not very good, is it?"

"I think it's very good. I am actually helping that lady; do you really think that being foolishly happy in a lie is true happiness?"

Wei Yangyang immediately shook her head.

"So there you go, the truth is hard to accept, but one must face it."

As Su Kexuan said this, she patted Wei Yangyang on the shoulder.

Wei Yangyang knew that Su Kexuan had ulterior motives.

However... the reason she gave was truly impossible to refute.

And Su Kexuan steered the topic back to the original subject: "Look, as long as you observe carefully, this banquet is still quite interesting."
