First Marriage Then Love 《先婚厚爱》Chapter 66 Translation

066. For her (to get out of a predicament)



Upon hearing Su Yi Cheng’s words, everyone became shocked. There wasn’t a sound to be heard throughout the entire reception area; it was inconceivably quiet. Mo Fei stares wide-eyed at Su Yi Cheng. How coincidental that he would be here. Not only was it unexpected, but also he came with the mayor. What is his identity?

Xiao xiao was also shocked. Her face showed disbelief at both Su Yi Cheng and An Ran. At the moment perhaps she was thinking the same thing as Mo Fei. The entire real estate industry of Jiang city which she doesn’t dare say she doesn’t know of them. If they have a face, have a hair, then she would naturally know of them. However, Su Yi Cheng, she really doesn’t have any impression on him at all! If he’s not in the business, then perhaps he is from the municipal committee. Moreover seeing how he came together with all those big people, she reckons that his position isn’t low. Haa! She never would have expected that he came in with so much history!

Huang De Xing on the side then suddenly sees the light. He recalls that one morning where he came across Su Yi Cheng at the front door. Now he realizes how could it be that coincidental. He must have dropped off An Ran that day. Furthermore, it was also him to had called to say that An Ran was taking the day off. He knew that tail number was familiar, it was clearly the municipal committee’s number. So his gut wasn’t wrong at all!

Tong Xiao Jie who was standing beside the Zhang shrew slightly frowns. She looks at the couple before her eyes. She knows this man, She had seen him in a picture with her father, placed in the studio. But she didn’t expect that he and Gu An Ran were together, not only that, but were married!

After getting used to the big spectacle, Ling Chuan Jiang, although incredulous, still managed to get his spirit back, and asks, “You, when did you get married? I haven’t heard you mention it. Last time when I came to see old Su, your mother hasn’t mentioned anything either!”

Su Yi Cheng pulled on An Ran’s arm and lead her towards Ling Chuan Jiang, simply smiles and says, “We married quite suddenly. We were afraid that it’d be troublesome, so we just signed a certificate. For now we aren’t planning on doing a ceremony.” Turning to An Ran, he says, “An Ran, this is Mayor Ling.”

Although An Ran was still out of it, she still nods her head. She smiles at Ling Chuan Jiang, and gently calls out, “Nice to meet you, Mayor Ling.”

Ling Chuan jiang nods, looks at her, and looks at Su Yi Cheng. He thought to himself that it was rather moving. If it weren’t for that thing years ago, perhaps, perhaps Yi Cheng would have been his son-in-law. However, difficulty is a part of life, who would have thought that things would end up this way. Good fortune, good fortune!

“Special assistant Su, your marriage was so low-profile, you didn’t even offer me one cup of wine. You put too little importance on it, also you’re petty.” Xiao Ying Tian teases, alleviating the tense and awkward atmosphere.

“Hehe, Director Xiao is joking.” Su Yi Cheng laughs, and turns his head. He looks at An Ran, and turns back looking a bit dumbstruck at the Zhang shrew and Zhang Yuan Shan. He asks, “May I ask Mrs. Zhang, what happened? Did An Ran do something wrong that might have offended Mrs. Zhang, that it needs to go to the police station?”

“Yes, what happened just then, could it be a misunderstanding?” From the side, Xiao Ying Tian asks. He was holding tonight’s reception, so he is considered the host. If there really was something wrong, naturally he should step in.

The Zhang shrew forces a smile, her train of thought still was on Su Yi Cheng’s words, ‘my spouse’. She was in the middle of getting a response, and now she couldn’t come up with even a word.

She had seen Su Yi Cheng several times before, and realized her background. Not to mention the Su household’s power in Jiang city. Just Su Yi Cheng alone, only a few years after Ling Chuan was fearing a loss, it was him that brought him up. He was Jiang city’s number one hand a few years later. It was she who had committed an offense. What she thought was a nameless architect before her eyes, turned out to be someone that big.

She was about to say those words, and she was regretting it so much that her intestines were turning green, wishing that she could burn into ashes. Her mouth is too loose.

Zhang Yuan Shan stares at his wife. He knew that his wife was known to be a shrewish woman. Normally he wouldn’t mind it, and he didn’t see what the situation was earlier. It would’ve been fine if she messed with a no name, but it turns out she provoked someone she shouldn’t have provoked. He just heard that Mayor Ling was intending on putting Su Yi Cheng in charge for the science and technology town. He was planning to establish a good relationship with Su Yi Cheng, so that in the future if he needs to build something he can partake in it. He never expected that once he turned around, this fierce woman did the opposite, and went ahead and offended his person.

Right now he couldn’t attend to the others, and quickly steps forward and smiles apologetically, “I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Worry not Special Assistant Su.”

Su Yi Cheng looks at him, then turns and looks at the Zhang shrew, and says, “Whatever misunderstanding there is, please Mrs. Zhang let me know. Don’t keep it in. If it was An Ran’s wrong, then I ought to apologize in her place.”

The Zhang shrew forces a smile. That smile was even uglier than her crying face. Apologize, how could she let him apologize!

Seeing that she’s taking a while to respond, Su Yi Cheng calls out, “Mrs. Zhang?” His eyes probing her, fixed on making her say the reason why.

The Zhang shrew forces a smile, looks at her husband, but was met with ruthless white eyes. She angrily turns her head. In fact, she is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, because she was wealthy so ordinarily she would act harsh and unreasonable. But then again, if you have money you have power.Thus, now she can only put on a bold face, and smile rigidly. She smiles apologetically at Su Yi Cheng and says, "Actually, actually it was my bad. When I came over I wasn’t careful and bumped into Mrs. Su, and because of this I got wine all over Mrs. Su’s clothes, actually—"

Not waiting for the Zhang shrew to finish, Zhang Yuan shan interrupts, turning to An Ran and saying, “That is really embarrassing, but at the same time, at these receptions bumping into one another is expected. Mrs. Su, if you don’t mind, we can cover the cleaning cost for your dress when you change this evening.”

Su Yi Cheng doesn’t say anything, a smile still on his face. He turns to look at An Ran, intending to listen to An Ran’s opinion, dealing with it on her terms.

An Ran isn’t an unforgiving person, and it really is a small matter. She didn’t want it go too far. But the matter up until now, if she still continued to bicker like before then she wouldn’t be any different than her, and besides tonight so many well-known people are here. Even if she doesn’t think of herself, then she should think like Su Yi Cheng. Standing next to him, not having the sense or mind, then she would make him lose face. Thinking in that way, she looks at Zhang Yuan shan and shakes her head, and says, “No need. As Director Zhang has said, there’s a lot of people in this reception, naturally knocking into people is unavoidable. Just then Mrs. Zhang was walking too quickly, and I wasn’t careful, so we ended up bumping into each other. We can’t tell who is right or wrong, but that it’s just a mistake.”

“Yes yes yes. Mistake, it’s simply a mistake. It’s good that Mrs. Su isn’t bothered by it.” Zhang Yuan Shan quickly agrees with her, following An Ran and helping her safely down the stairs.

Su Yi Cheng doesn’t say anything, and only looks at An Ran. He carefully gathers her with his suit, then turns back to look at Mayor Ling and President Xiao and says, “Uncle Ling, President Xiao, since An Ran’s like this, I think I should take her back to change. If there’s nothing else, then we will take our leave first.”

Mayor Ling and President Xiao each nod their head, not opposing it. An Ran also nods at them, smiling apologetically.

Taking An Ran’s hand, Su Yi Cheng turns back and directs his attention towards Huang De Xing and says, “Director Huang, we’ll have to take our leave first, is that okay?”

“No no no problem.” Huang De Xing quickly replies.

Su Yi Cheng smiles, his gaze sweeps over, and lands on Mo Fei in the crowd. He looks at him silently, not saying anything. Then he looks away, turning to look at An Ran’s face. He smiles slightly, and takes An Ran hand and leads her towards the entrance.

An Ran lets Su Yi Cheng lead the way out, not paying attention to everyone’s curious gaze behind her, and not paying attention to the whispers behind her. She passes Xiao xiao and Mo Fei. She notices their startled gazes but doesn’t stop, and just walks past them, allowing Su Yi Cheng to take her away.

There’s an illusion, at this moment she felt like she was like a princess in those fairy tales, and Su Yi Cheng was her prince, appearing at the moment when she was stuck in a dilemma and was isolated and without help, then taking her and leading her away. This kind of feeling, it was quite fantastic.
