Pampered By All In Different Planes-Chapter 246: After Kicking Away the Scumbag, the Aloof Buddhist Son Dotes on His Wife 46
"Su Zhiruan’s schedule! Give it to me! Let me see!" When Jiang Beiyu heard Bai Yueyou say this, he immediately looked up, his tone becoming anxious, and reached out to take the cell phone from her hand.
Caught off guard, Bai Yueyou had her phone snatched away. She dared not retaliate and could only timidly wait for Jiang Beiyu to return the phone to her.
On Bai Yueyou’s phone, a WeChat account marked with the name "Su Zhiruan" had posted a new Moment.
The picture showed two tickets, some fine dining dishes, the latest jewelry designs, and at the very center, two hands overlapping—one clearly a man’s large hand cradling a slender smaller one, both hands adorned with expensive rings.
The caption read, "Candlelit dinner with Mr. Zhou~"
In an instant, Jiang Beiyu’s face seized up. He clutched the phone tightly, almost grinding his teeth as he read out loud, "Mr. Zhou?!"
Bai Yueyou stepped back and dared not speak.
"So this is how it is, Su Zhiruan, proclaiming your love for me, insisting I’m the only one for you, yet now you’re off seeking other men?!" Jiang Beiyu’s complexion turned ashen as he suddenly felt very humiliated.
He had confidently believed that Su Zhiruan surely harbored feelings for him and did not want him to leave—this belief had been his greatest assurance.
But now, Su Zhiruan had suddenly made an official announcement. That meant, all his previous speculations had been nothing but his own conjectures—Su Zhiruan had not only given up on him long ago but had even found someone new!!
Jiang Beiyu zoomed in on the two tickets on Bai Yueyou’s phone, staring intently for a long time.
Jinghua No.1’s revolving crystal restaurant, tonight at eight.
He took note of every detail, preparing to confront the matter.

Su Zhiruan stood in the restaurant, looking at the cameras that had been set up. She tugged at Zhou Mingyu’s sleeve beside her, "How is it now, is everything completely foolproof?"
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
"It’s completely foolproof," Zhou Mingyu rubbed the tips of her fingers, his tone filled with doting indulgence, "But next time, I’d like a date with you undisturbed, without unwanted visitors disrupting our time together."
"Just think of it as acting," Su Zhiruan giggled, "Once the acting is done, I’ll have a nice dinner with you, spending the whole week with you."
"Two weeks." Zhou Mingyu pushed his luck.
"It’s a deal." Su Zhiruan promptly settled, to prevent Zhou Mingyu, with his businessman traits, from continuing to bargain with her.
Zhou Mingyu didn’t ask for more. For a busy person like Su Zhiruan to carve out two weeks to dine with him was a rare benefit, and he knew when to quit while ahead.
"Everything is ready, now we just wait for him to broadcast it live." Su Zhiruan clapped her hands, nodding in satisfaction.
Zhou Mingyu nodded as well.
He was quite satisfied too. She would announce dumping Jiang Beiyu across the internet and then make an official announcement with him, showing off their love. Just thinking about this, Zhou Mingyu felt like he had struck a good deal.
He didn’t have to do anything; after all, he had Jiang Beiyu, the fool who took no care of what he had, for contrast.
Su Zhiruan set her Moments post visible to only Bai Yueyou. About half an hour after posting, she successfully received a like from her.

At 20:00 that evening.
Su Zhiruan and Zhou Mingyu walked hand in hand into Jinghua No.1.
Both were dressed to the nines today, and as soon as they got out of the car, they drew a lot of attention.
Zhou Mingyu was in a pure black suit; he had a well-built physique from daily workouts, broad shoulders and a narrow waist in a distinct inverted triangle shape. Yet, he wore a pair of half-framed glasses on his nose, which made him seem brimming with the demeanor of a scholar. His nose bridge was high and his expression indifferent, stray hairs fell on his pale forehead, and he was outstandingly handsome.
Su Zhiruan usually wore sweeter, more youthful outfits, but today she was in a striking red dress. Her skin was pale, her arms slender, and the simple red dress on her, tailored to fit, finely outlined her delicate waistline, along with red high heels. Her hair was curled into large French rolls, hanging over her shoulders, partially concealing and revealing her face.
Their appearances were truly too well-matched, both exuding the natural nobility of born leaders. In an instant, everyone even wondered if they were witnessing a scene from a film.
During the mingling, naturally, some recognized Zhou Mingyu’s identity. Seeing the formidable Zhou Family’s aloof Crown Prince with a girl by his side stirred quite the buzz among the crowd.
Yet the two of them did not join them and headed straight for the elevator.
In the crowd, Jiang Beiyu also mingled, with Bai Yueyou following behind him.
By standing, Jiang Beiyu wouldn’t even be able to enter the doors of Jinghua No. 1.
But he had been cautious before. Su Zhiruan received invitation letters, but hadn’t planned to attend certain banquets, leaving all the invitations at home.
Before, in order to sneak in, he had stolen quite a number of these invitations.
Last time he took Bai Yueyou into Jinghua No.1, it was because of an invitation letter. This time, following the same method, they easily entered the hotel building.
After Jiang Beiyu located the place by following the two tickets Su Zhiruan had posted in her social circle, he pushed the door and entered—
To his surprise, in the entire revolving restaurant, there were only two people.
Su Zhiruan and the man sitting opposite her.
Jiang Beiyu and Bai Yueyou were both stunned.
Just the two of them?
"Well, isn’t this a coincidence, Jiang Beiyu? To run into you here," Su Zhiruan said with a smirk, stretching her leg and shifting to a more elegant and comfortable posture. She then looked Jiang Beiyu up and down, "Or should I say, tracking us here was your actual purpose."
She didn’t pretend anymore and after sizing them up, she laughed contemptuously.
Zhou Mingyu acted as if he saw no extra people, expertly cut the steak and swapped plates to make it easier for Su Zhiruan to eat.
Jiang Beiyu stared blankly at Su Zhiruan; at this moment, he realized that he had probably never seen this side of Su Zhiruan before.
"You... Ruanruan, did you know we were coming here?" Jiang Beiyu looked at the radiant, beautifully elegant Su Zhiruan in front of him. For a moment, he could hardly believe his eyes and suddenly became agitated, "You are not her, you’re not!"
"The ’her’ that Mr. Jiang is referring to couldn’t be the previous Su Zhiruan who would bow and scrape, willing to relinquish her family wealth easily, could it?" Su Zhiruan scoffed and spread her hands, "Well, sorry to disappoint, but I’m not her."
"How could you change like this?! And him, who is this man?!" Jiang Beiyu, in a heartbroken state, rudely pointed directly at Zhou Mingyu, his voice becoming increasingly hysterical, "Who is he?! By what right?! You were supposed to love me!!"
Bai Yueyou observed the hysterically shouting Jiang Beiyu, then turned towards the composed Zhou Mingyu, who was silently taking care of Su Zhiruan. In a flash, she felt that standing next to Jiang Beiyu was a disgrace.
And Zhou Mingyu, both attractive and good-natured, had caught her eye the very first time she saw him.
"Let me tell you the truth," Su Zhiruan said calmly, softly placing down her knife and fork and standing up, looking down on Jiang Beiyu, "Jiang Beiyu, from the very beginning, I have never had the slightest feelings for you! Did you think I was lovesick? I just wanted to see, a delusional clown, a faithless scoundrel, breaking down!"
"Also, let me tell you! From start to finish, the person I have loved is him!"
