📖 Chapter 30 – The Trap

✍️ Summary by MSY

Su Nan wakes in the Su residence, greeted by luxury—her father’s indulgence filling her wardrobe with private couture collections. At breakfast, Su Yifeng and Su Jin praise her for humiliating Lu Qi, noting the Lu family’s stock scandal. Su Nan brushes it off, reminding them he provoked her first.

At the company, Yu Lou informs her of Juli Group’s interest and Lin Shuang’s presence in her office. Su Nan enters to find Lin Shuang arrogantly spinning her chair. With icy composure, Su Nan orders the chair sent to Lin Shuang’s office, citing her “cleanliness habit.” Lin Shuang, flustered, presents Fengheng Group’s project, pushing Su Nan to attend Chairman Zhang’s dinner. Su Nan agrees but raises the figures by thirty percent, signaling she sees through the ploy.

Just then, Qin Yu bursts in with arms full of flowers, teasing Su Nan about a secret admirer.

💖 Review by MSY (Reaction Voice)

This chapter was dripping with elegance and tension. Su Nan waking up surrounded by couture collections was such a striking image—her father’s extravagance contrasted beautifully with her understated choice of a simple black dress and white blazer. It showed her restraint, her refusal to flaunt wealth even when it’s handed to her.

The breakfast scene was warm yet sharp. Su Jin’s casual mention of Lu Qi’s humiliation and the Lu family’s stocks nearly hitting limit‑down was delicious. Su Nan’s helpless shrug—“He provoked me first”—was classic. She doesn’t revel in victory, but she doesn’t deny her power either.

Then came the office confrontation. Lin Shuang spinning Su Nan’s chair was such a petty move, dripping with arrogance. Su Nan’s response—ordering the chair sent to Lin Shuang’s office—was savage. The “cleanliness habit” line was pure queen energy. Calm, polite, but cutting. Lin Shuang’s hatred was palpable, but Su Nan didn’t even blink.

The Fengheng project feels like a trap, and Su Nan knows it. Her decision to raise the figures by thirty percent was brilliant. It was a subtle way of saying: “I see through you, and I won’t play small.” Lin Shuang thought she was baiting her, but Su Nan turned the tables instantly.

And then Qin Yu bursting in with flowers—what a perfect tonal shift. Her mischievous grin, her teasing about a secret admirer—it added levity after the tension. It also hinted at new dynamics: who’s pursuing Su Nan, and how will that play into the corporate games ahead?

This chapter balanced luxury, confrontation, and playful friendship beautifully.

Su Nan is regal and composed, effortlessly dismantling Lin Shuang’s petty provocations while maintaining elegance. Lin Shuang, resentful and insecure, cloaks her hostility in false generosity, but her “kindness” is clearly bait. Yu Lou is loyal and efficient, reinforcing Su Nan’s authority. Qin Yu is fiery and mischievous, her playful energy contrasting with the corporate tension, while hinting at possible romantic entanglements. Su Jin and Su Yifeng embody indulgent support, reinforcing Su Nan’s position as cherished daughter and rising power.

⏳ The Author’s Pacing

The pacing balances elegance with tension. The quiet luxury of the Su residence shifts into corporate scheming, ending with Qin Yu’s playful interruption. The rhythm keeps readers intrigued, setting up the dinner with Fengheng as a looming confrontation.

🔮 Predictions

I predict the Fengheng dinner will be a trap designed to humiliate Su Nan, but she will turn it into triumph.

Looking ahead, several plot threads seem likely:

• Su Nan: Her composure will dismantle Lin Shuang’s schemes, proving she cannot be baited.
• Lin Shuang: Her resentment will deepen, leading to reckless moves that expose her weakness.
• Qin Yu: Her playful loyalty will shield Su Nan, but her curiosity may spark new entanglements.
• Yu Lou: His efficiency will reinforce Su Nan’s authority, ensuring she is prepared for the trap.
• Su Jin & Su Yifeng: Their indulgent support will remain her strongest foundation, reinforcing her independence.
