C4 He Was Still Alive!

Fu Siyan was known for his icy demeanor; his words were never in jest.

Su Jin didn't want to provoke him, so she quickly dressed herself.

Her figure was balanced and harmonious.

Her physique was slender in all the right ways, enough to evoke envy in other women.

Yet, there was no hint of desire in Fu Siyan's gaze. Once she was clothed, he glanced toward the door and dismissed her with a frosty command, "Leave."

He exuded the aura of a sovereign, inspiring awe and reverence.

With a calm nod, Su Jin stifled the thrill in her chest. She whispered her thanks and made for the exit.

But as she reached the door, a clamor from outside halted her.

"What? She actually did that?" The voice belonged to Su Jin's father, Su Mingyuan.

Hearing his voice again, Su Jin felt a surge of bitter resentment.

In her past life, she had trusted Su Mingyuan as if he were her real father, only to be repaid with deceit.

Su Mingyuan had feigned closeness.

He merely wanted to exploit her talents for the benefit of the Su family.

She vowed not to fall into the same trap again.

At Su Mingyuan's side, Su Jin's stepmother chimed in, "Someone has seen her. How could this be false?"

She spoke while subtly signaling Su Nuo with her eyes.

Catching the hint, Su Nuo responded in a sugary tone, "My sister had a bit to drink, but surely she wouldn't disgrace herself with a man. This must be a misunderstanding."

"Someone definitely saw the Third Lady enter a room with a man," another voice interjected.

"Break down the door," Su Mingyuan ordered, his face ashen with rage.

Behind the door, Su Jin's eyes were a pool of ice.

Being seen with Fu Siyan now would only spell more trouble.

"Aren't you leaving?" came the low voice from behind her. Startled, she turned to face the magnified features of a strikingly handsome man.

His eyes were deep-set, his nose straight, his lips thin.

His masculine presence sent Su Jin's thoughts into disarray.

She stood her ground, her resolve wavering.

As Su Jin grappled with her predicament, the door burst open with such force that she was propelled into Fu Siyan's embrace.

"There she is, the Third Lady caught with another man," someone jeered, but his taunt was cut short as his eyes bulged in shock.

Nobody had anticipated that the man in the room would be Fu Siyan, a towering figure at the pinnacle of A City's hierarchy.

He was the heartthrob of countless women, the embodiment of wealth and influence.

"Is this the man you were referring to?" Su Mingyuan's voice was a low growl as he shot a scathing look at Gu Xiangyun, his face etched with embarrassment.

Gu Xiangyun was dumbfounded. It was supposed to be Su Jin entangled with some rogue, yet how had Fu Siyan become the man in question?

Exchanging glances with Su Nuo, both were riddled with confusion.

Disbelief shone in Su Nuo's eyes. How had the situation taken such an unexpected turn?

"Sister, how come you're in Mr. Fu's room, and you've even changed your outfit?" Su Nuo was the first to shatter the silence with her inquiry.

At her prompting, all eyes turned to Su Jin. Indeed, she was clad in a different dress, and her neck bore suspicious red marks.

A man and a woman alone together, with marks on the woman's body – it was the perfect recipe for wild speculation.

Even if Su Jin hadn't been with a man, these clues alone could brand her as promiscuous.

The crowd's piercing stares bore into Su Jin, making her squirm.

Nearly everyone was eager to witness her embarrassment.
