Chapter 312

Chapter 312 People Are Not Divided by Status or Nobility!

 

Although there were many people in Starbucks, most of them realized that the man proposing was targeting Zhou Anke.

She stood there like a fairy descended from heaven, her aura was so outstanding that it was impossible not to notice her.

However, what did it mean that this beauty wasn’t going out to face the person pursuing her, but instead was whispering with someone else?

What happened next was even more astonishing – this girl was actually taken by the hand and pulled straight outside!

Was this the scene of a wife confronting a mistress, ready for a showdown?

Zhou Anke’s face immediately turned red when Su Rui took her hand. She had no idea how to react and could only let him lead her away.

That night in Liantang Town, they had even shared a toast, which was naturally much more intimate than holding hands, but now in a sober state, Zhou Anke was naturally very embarrassed.

By this time, Su Rui was already holding her hand, standing confidently at the entrance of Starbucks.

When Wang An, the man in the suit outside, saw this scene, his gaze became terrifyingly dark, and the entire scene instantly fell silent!

The crowd didn’t know whether they should continue cheering. They looked at the red bills in their hands, feeling somewhat conflicted—it didn’t seem right to take money without doing the job.

But the girl obviously had a boyfriend, so were their actions helping a third party steal someone’s relationship? That seemed too dramatic.

Everyone was waiting to see how the proposer would react.

At this moment, some people were secretly sighing, wondering why he had to pursue someone with a boyfriend. Wasn’t he just setting himself up for humiliation?

Wang An, holding a large bouquet of roses and a microphone, deliberately ignored Su Rui and gazed affectionately at Zhou Anke, saying, “Anke, I’ve been waiting for this day for too many years. Today, no matter what, I want to tell you how I feel.”

At this point, Zhou Anke’s hand was still being held by Su Rui, who narrowed his eyes, thinking that this guy was actually quite composed, not exploding in anger but continuing to maintain a deeply affectionate appearance.

Zhou Anke looked at Wang An, then at Su Rui, as if seeking the latter’s opinion.

Seeing this, Wang An, holding the roses, almost burst a lung in anger.

“She’s my girlfriend. Brother, do you have vision problems? Please be more careful next time you decide to pursue someone.” Su Rui tilted his head slightly. Looking at the stiff smile on Wang An’s face, he found it secretly amusing. This guy was really in a difficult position—being so publicly humiliated, probably filled with rage inside, yet forced to maintain a gentlemanly appearance.

After hearing Su Rui’s words, Wang An finally stopped smiling. His face alternated between pale and flushed: “I just have something to say to Anke.”

“You can tell me instead, and I’ll pass it on to her.” Su Rui smiled slightly, while extending his arm to wrap around Zhou Anke’s shoulders!

This was openly declaring his claim!

Being embraced by Su Rui like this, Zhou Anke couldn’t struggle and didn’t want to struggle. Her pretty face quietly turned red.

“Anke is standing right next to you, right in front of me. I must express my feelings to her. No matter what, I won’t give up.” Wang An said as he walked down the steps, his gaze seemingly determined.

“Fine then, go ahead and confess. I won’t stop you.” Su Rui casually kept his arm around Zhou Anke, smiling, not at all intimidated by Wang An’s advances.

The more confident he appeared, the more the surrounding crowd mourned for Wang An. He was like a spoiled young master who would crash into a wall until his head was bloody but still wouldn’t turn back.

Glancing at Su Rui and noticing his seemingly cheap clothes, Wang An’s eyes flashed with contempt, though he hid it well, and most people didn’t notice.

His custom Armani suit cost at least 200,000 yuan, the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist was worth 500,000 yuan, plus luxury shoes, glasses, phone, and other items—altogether he was wearing nearly a million yuan! And that man standing beside Zhou Anke? Would everything he was wearing even be worth a hundred yuan?

This look couldn’t escape Su Rui’s keen eyes, but he didn’t care at all. He just smiled faintly and tightened his arm around Zhou Anke. He wasn’t someone who cared about superficial things, otherwise he would have been angered by Wang An’s look long ago.

In Su Rui’s view, people shouldn’t be judged by status or wealth. Wang An’s attitude only showed how poor his character was.

“Anke, I want to tell you today that I love you!” Wang An walked up to Zhou Anke and said passionately.

At this moment, the lackey who had been handing out money earlier was waving his hands, signaling the crowd to applaud. But looking at Su Rui, the crowd found the scene too awkward, and not a single person clapped.

Wang An was secretly furious. He had expected a round of applause after his declaration, but now the scene was completely silent, contrary to his expectations—damn it, how could these people take the money but not do their job?

The lackey’s gestures were clearly visible to Su Rui: “It seems everyone has a conscience. Your money can’t buy everyone.”

This statement undoubtedly tore away the last veil, giving Wang An no face at all!

Wang An’s eyes finally showed his dark mood again. He coldly glanced at Su Rui, snorted lightly, then said to Zhou Anke: “Anke, you should know that sometimes feelings aren’t everything. I can give you any life you want, while this man can’t afford to.”

Seeing such obvious material contempt, Su Rui’s eyes showed clear disgust. He said, “Feelings aren’t everything? So you’re saying you don’t have much feeling for Anke?”

Wang An almost choked. Su Rui was sharp-tongued, quickly catching the flaw in his words, leaving him speechless. With no alternative, he could only continue attacking Su Rui on a material level.

“Anke, if you marry me, I can give you a princess-like luxurious life. You can live in a mansion in Ninghai, you won’t need to work anymore, you can travel the world every day, and never worry about the hardships and pressures of work.”

Su Rui almost laughed to tears. This guy was actually telling Zhou Anke about living in a mansion, clearly having no idea that Zhou Anke had a vast general’s mansion in Xijiang!

The Zhou family’s compound wasn’t just comparable to a mansion—it was more impressive than an entire villa complex!

Seeing that Su Rui and Zhou Anke remained silent, Wang An thought his words had stunned them, and felt quite satisfied: “Anke, just accept my love. If you marry me, you’ll be the wife of the future Diana Diamonds China General Manager. You can have whatever you want. Why stay at Bikang Group working for others? Why live a hard life with this poor guy?”

So his family was the China General Manager for Diana Diamonds. No wonder he could speak so arrogantly.

Su Rui knew something about Diana Diamonds. In the diamond-saturated foreign markets, this brand was actually very ordinary, almost buried among numerous luxury brands, nearly facing extinction. However, after entering China early on, the brand somehow thrived in the Chinese market!

Just like Land Rover cars, which didn’t sell well in England but experienced a sales miracle once they entered China. Diana Diamonds was successfully revived due to the booming Chinese market.

Seeing the situation, Wang An began to despise Su Rui even more. Four words flashed through his mind—relentless pursuit—he didn’t believe he couldn’t drive away this poor guy.

“Oh, I haven’t introduced myself yet.” Wang An said proudly: “I am Wang An, the future head of Diana Diamonds China branch. May I ask what position this gentleman currently holds?”

As he said this, he even glanced at Su Rui’s shoes—white Warrior sneakers that probably cost only about 20 yuan!

While inwardly mocking, Wang An also strongly despised Zhou Anke’s taste! How could she be interested in such a man?

In fact, Wang An had indeed liked Zhou Anke for several years, but during those years, he had also had many messy relationships with other women. As the heir to a so-called “wealthy family,” with an infinitely promising future, he had to follow his family’s requirements to find a woman who was “equal in status” to the Wang family. Only then would she become an asset to his career.

And this “country girl” Zhou Anke obviously didn’t meet Wang An’s criteria for a spouse.

However, he was genuinely shocked by Zhou Anke’s beauty and temperament, which sparked a strong desire to possess her. The more unobtainable she was, the more unforgettable she became—this was Wang An’s current psychological state regarding Zhou Anke.

“You just said you’re the future head of Diana Diamonds China branch?” Su Rui emphasized the word “future” heavily.

“Yes.” Wang An continued smugly, thinking Su Rui was intimidated by his status.

“So that means the current head of that branch is your father? And you’re just an idle rich second generation?” Su Rui continued, with a hint of mockery in his tone. When it came to verbal sparring, Wang An wouldn’t be Su Rui’s match even after several lifetimes of practice.

“I…” Wang An wanted nothing more than to drag Su Rui out and beat him. How could someone talk like this? How could someone insult him like this?

However, Su Rui was indeed telling the truth. Wang An had been idle for years, specializing in conquering women for pleasure. With his status and family background, once he revealed his identity and offered a few dazzling diamonds, almost every woman he targeted would willingly be seduced into his bed.

“Who says I’m idle? I’ve already started participating in company management, preparing to take over. Diana’s company in China will be mine in the future.”

Wang An explained, trying hard to appear imposing, but he didn’t realize that society naturally rejects idle rich second generations. The more he explained, the more powerless he seemed, and the more the surrounding people began to despise him. Some had even thrown away the red bills they had received earlier.

With just a few sentences, Su Rui had guided Wang An to oppose the onlooking crowd. He could accurately grasp everyone’s psychology, his words like knives, effortlessly putting someone in a deadly position!
