Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: A Rich Gamble

这个人,简直就是苏玉燕的粉丝.

苏玉燕自然不会提起她们社交圈里那些天真烂漫的女孩子,但沈明很清楚她们.孙家的小公主孙月,早就以对她冷漠而疏远的哥哥有感情而闻名.但大多数人不知道的是,不仅仅是孙悦对苏玉燕有感情——她的表妹孙默也对他怀有感情.

幸运的是,孙悦邀请沈明到楼上的贵宾室.里面,有几名圈内的人,包括孙默.

在二楼贵宾室的对面,顾峰的一些好朋友看到沈明和孙月愉快地聊天,并不高兴.他们替顾风感到不安.

"孙月,叛徒!她在听到一点八卦后,已经对她的那个廉价妹妹很感兴趣了.这太荒谬了——就在上周,我给她买了一个鳄鱼包!

顾枫手指紧紧地握紧,怒火高涨.他们圈子里的人开始反对她.

从沈明所见,不仅仅是孙月.现在,孙悦几乎是在为她铺开红地毯,向她介绍他们的小圈子.

"小风,别生气.孙月忘恩负义,但从现在开始,她就不被允许参加我们的茶话会了.我们需要想出一个计划来警告她.玲玲,给她发个信息,"顾峰的一位朋友说.

拿着一杯酒的玲玲笑了起来,靠在她的手上."我的电话在助理那里.让薇薇发送信息.

她找了个借口,走到走廊上,助理把手机递给了她.

"你想发个信息吗?"

"有什么要送的?她为什么不自己处理这件事呢?玲玲回应道.

形势已经逆转.孙家唯一的公主不再拥有"只有"的称号.

"我们去看看另一个贵宾室吧,"玲玲说,召集了她的朋友们.他们中的大多数人都去了隔壁.

顾枫再也控制不住自己的脾气了.她迟到了,现在在贵宾室里,无意中听到她的朋友们在讨论这种情况.她清楚地知道发生了什么,并且对沈明受到太多关注感到不高兴.

"那些人都一文不值.他们从来没有想过小风是如何照顾他们的.那边的那个人,她勉强赢了一场官司,谁知道她用了什么贱的招数.看看他们都是怎么讨好她的.

听说过这个案子的海明,明白情况.如果他能压制一个小公司,他肯定能驾驭她的势头.

"告诉小风不要难过.我对付沈明有办法.

与此同时,在另一个贵宾室里,沈明一直在努力避开社交旋风,但很难休息.她是来观看苏尚锦的比赛的,但最后还是退到阳台上喘口气.

然而,似乎有人不想让她放松.孙月的姐姐孙默正在接电话.当她看到沈明时,她赶紧转身离开,放下了手机.

沈明道歉道:"对不起,请继续.我走出去.

孙默打完电话,朝着沈明走去."沈小姐,请坐下喝一杯."

孙默不像孙月——她要沉着得多,也有更深层次的议程.

沈明想了想."好吧."

她高效地坐下,孙默没有浪费任何时间寒暄.

"沈小姐,你知道我刚才在和谁通电话吗?"

沈明摇摇头,示意她不知道.

孙默淡淡一笑."圈子很小,没有人希望其他人偷走他们的那块蛋糕.沈小姐,你走得太快了.

通常,听到这样的话,沈明会停下来思考一下.但现在,她并不担心.

"孙小姐,直奔主题.谁想惹我?

短短的几番交流,孙默才发现,苏家的小姐姐可不是什么好事.

"Let me do you a favor. Hai Ming has already made arrangements. The rumors about you and the second young master of the Ning family will soon spread through the circle. They're not good rumors—saying that before you joined the Su family, you were willing to use your body to climb the social ladder. You'll be portrayed as someone willing to do anything to get ahead, only to be abandoned by Ning Er in the end."

Shen Ming chuckled.

She and Ning Zhiqian?

She couldn't believe Hai Ming had gone through all that trouble.

"Alright, I understand. Thanks for the heads-up, Miss Sun. But in our circle, favors are nothing new. What do you want in return for leaking this information to me?"

Sun Mo felt that she was speaking to someone who understood the game.

"This equestrian competition… I've never had much interest in things like this, but I heard Su Shangjin will be competing in the finals."

She paused.

Shen Ming picked up on her implication and smoothly replied, "Oh, you're interested in our little Fourth?"

Sun Mo nearly exploded in frustration.

Shen Ming laughed lightly. "I see. You just want me to keep an eye on any news related to Su Yuyan."

At least Shen Ming was able to make something useful out of the evening. While the equestrian competition continued, Su Shangjin had already entered the arena.

The atmosphere in the VIP room became electric as news spread—none other than the young master of the Rong family had arrived. The Rong and Su families had always been on good terms, so it wasn't surprising to see him there supporting Su Shangjin.

However, Rong Zhaonan's presence was enough to stir up attention wherever he went.

Looking out the window, Shen Ming scoffed. "What an arrogant guy."

She took out her phone and called Jiang Shaomo.

"Jiang, I need a favor. You're going to be busy with this."

Su Shangjin had plenty of supporters at the competition, and among them was none other than Rong Zhaonan, who placed a huge bet—10 million yuan right off the bat. His lavish display was something few could match.

When Shen Ming heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. "With Su Shangjin's lackluster skills, it's a miracle he doesn't lose."

Her brother was smarter; he hadn't even shown up.

"How could the young master not know Su Shangjin's equestrian skills? He's betting millions just to make the little princess smile," someone murmured.

"Are you saying this is for Gu Feng?"

"Well, of course. Everyone knows Gu Feng and Su Shangjin are close..."

After making a second bet, Rong Zhaonan called for Zhuo Hang.

"Has the message been sent? Where is she?"

Zhuo Hang pulled out his phone and showed him.

"Miss Shen called you an idiot, and now she's already left."

Su Shangjin's competition hadn't even finished yet. Shen Ming was already on her way back in her new, flashy car, when her phone rang.

It was Rong Zhaonan.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Su Shangjin's competition just wrapped up. Don't you want to hear the results?"

The new car didn't feel comfortable to drive, and she wasn't in the mood to talk to him.

"The young master has money to burn, betting millions at a time. I'm sure he's making a fortune."

On the other end, Rong Zhaonan chuckled lowly.

"Why can't you just talk properly? Would it kill you?"
