Chapter 146: A Flood of Luxury Cars, Guests Arriving in DrovesMany reporters hadn’t expected the beautiful CEO Su Xiaoxiao to be this stunning. Her black evening gown radiated elegance and nobility, exuding a confidence that elevated her presence.
The reporters present weren’t amateurs. Most had photographed major celebrities before. Yet many of those stars, without heavy editing, didn’t look nearly as impressive. Su Xiaoxiao, however, looked strikingly beautiful…almost unbelievably so.
“President Su, you look absolutely gorgeous today,” one female executive said admiringly, her voice full of envy.
Su Xiaoxiao was a rare woman who possessed both beauty and capability. At a young age, she had full control over a publicly listed company. And she was stunning. Her black gown today made her look regal and dignified.
“President Su, your divorce was truly the right decision.”
“Li Mo really wasn’t worthy of you.”
“Yes, today is truly the peak of your life.”
Executives and employees showered Su Xiaoxiao with praise. She knew she looked exceptional today…perhaps because it was the most important day of her life. The company’s success had given her immense confidence, and that confidence added even more charm to her aura.
“Is everything ready for today?” Su Xiaoxiao asked as she walked into Nanjiang Scenic View. Reporters had already arrived in large numbers, and more kept coming.
“Everything’s set. We’re expecting over 500 guests.”
“We’ve tapped into all our connections. Even those who couldn’t come personally have sent their secretaries or senior executives.”
From a distance, Wu Lulu ran toward her.
“Xiaoxiao, you look absolutely stunning today!”
After her divorce, Wu Lulu had grown to hate Li Mo. She hadn’t expected him to send a video of her seducing him to Yin Deli. She and Yin Deli had invested all their money into 370, and now she had little cash left. Her hatred for Li Mo ran deep.
But she realized Li Mo had become terrifying. His power and influence in society were beyond her reach. He was surrounded by bodyguards at all times. She had no way to retaliate.
So Wu Lulu could only swallow her anger and hope 370 would thrive…maybe then she could still become a wealthy woman.
“Long time no see.”
Back when Su Xiaoxiao was divorcing, Wu Lulu had tried to persuade her for a long time, along with Liu Pingping. Their advice helped Su Xiaoxiao make her final decision.
“Yes, it’s been a while. Xiaoxiao, do you know who I tried to set you up with before?”
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t interested. She felt she couldn’t move on from her relationship with Li Mo, so she declined the matchmaking offer.
“I’m not interested… The company just went public, and I have even more responsibilities now. I need to focus on my career.”
Wu Lulu sighed.
“You really are a workaholic.”
“You’ve poured all your time and energy into your career. But heaven rewarded you…you’re now the spotlighted female CEO of a newly listed company.”
She envied Su Xiaoxiao deeply but knew she didn’t have the same capabilities. Her divorce settlement hadn’t been finalized yet. Fortunately, 370 was doing well. If it became a tech giant, her shares would be worth a fortune.
“This gown is stunning. Must’ve cost a fortune…at least several hundred thousand?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
“Over half a million.”
“Today’s a big occasion, so I spared no expense.”
As they chatted, Jiang Nannan approached. Not long ago, Li Mo had bought a Lamborghini SVJ at a flagship store, and Jiang Nannan happened to witness it. She was the one who told Su Xiaoxiao about it.
“Mrs. Jiang, long time no see.”
“Long time no see, Xiaoxiao. You look beautiful today…and so poised,” Jiang Nannan said sincerely.
“That time when Li Mo bought the Lamborghini…what a story!”
She brought it up immediately, using it as conversation fodder. Wu Lulu grew nervous. Had this woman figured something out?
Yan Feilei hadn’t even met Su Xiaoxiao yet, let alone pursued her. She hoped Jiang Nannan wouldn’t ruin his plans. He wanted to keep Su Xiaoxiao as a mistress.
“Yes, I saw him driving the Lamborghini.”
Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure what Li Mo’s situation was, but she believed it was just a coincidence. No matter what, he couldn’t compare to her.
“He really drove a Lamborghini?” Jiang Nannan looked shocked, as if she’d seen a ghost.
Li Mo was just an unemployed, divorced middle-aged man. She herself had been trying to buy a Huracán on installment but hadn’t succeeded even after a long time. And now… Li Mo was driving a Lamborghini?
It felt like a dream.
“He’s coming today too.”
Wu Lulu’s expression soured. She hadn’t expected Li Mo to show up at an event like this.
Su Xiaoxiao noticed her friend’s discomfort but didn’t have the energy to worry about it right now.
In the distance, a Mercedes-Maybach pulled up.
“Chairman Sun, you’ve arrived.”
Su Xiaoxiao greeted an elderly man…chairman of a well-known company in Deep City that had business ties with Xiaoxiao Beauty.
“Miss Su, you’re truly radiant today!”
Nearby, reporters rushed to take photos. It was their job to gather material for press releases. Even if only a few photos would be used, they needed plenty to craft the perfect story.
