📖 Chapter 37 – Encounter at the Banquet

✍️ Summary by MSY

Fu Yechuan storms out after Wei Cheng’s cruel mockery of Su Nan, shaken by his own loss of control. Lu Qi follows, trying to calm him, but Fu Yechuan’s cold dismissal reveals the turmoil inside.

Meanwhile, the Juli Corporation anniversary gala dazzles with society’s elite. Su Nan arrives with Su Jin, radiant in a diamond‑studded gown that commands every eye. Introduced as Vice President of Su Corporation, she receives admiration and respect, her poise flawless. Su Jin guides her toward their true purpose—meeting President Lin of Juli Corporation.

Across the hall, Fu Yingying seethes with jealousy. The gown Su Nan wears is a coveted Louis Vuitton couture piece she herself had long desired. Watching Su Nan bask in admiration, transformed from the dowdy woman she once scorned, fuels her rage. Her friends whisper in awe, comparing Su Nan’s beauty and grace to their own, leaving Fu Yingying to mask her fury with disdainful words.

💖 Review by MSY (Reaction Voice)

This chapter was breathtaking. First, Fu Yechuan’s storming out—wow. The way he slammed down his emotions, only to realize it wasn’t about Wei Cheng at all but about himself, was so raw. His chest tightening, his cigarette in the cold wind—it felt like a man unraveling, haunted by truths he never wanted to face.

Then the banquet. The grandeur was cinematic. Su Nan walking in beside Su Jin, radiant in that diamond‑studded gown, was a jaw‑dropping moment. The whispers—“Isn’t that Fu Yechuan’s ex‑wife?”—were deliciously ironic. Everyone recognized her brilliance, while Fu Yechuan had once discarded her. The compliments pouring in, her poised responses—it was the perfect rebirth scene. She wasn’t just surviving; she was thriving, commanding admiration in a hall full of power.

And Su Jin’s subtle guidance—touching her wrist, leading her toward President Lin—was such a sharp contrast. He treated her as an equal, a partner, not a servant. That tiny gesture spoke volumes.

Fu Yingying’s jealousy was the cherry on top. Her fury over the gown, her disbelief at Su Nan’s transformation, was so satisfying to read. The image of her slamming her glass down while her friends whispered in awe was priceless. She couldn’t stand that Su Nan had stolen the spotlight, and the irony of her friends admiring Su Nan’s beauty right in front of her was brutal.

This chapter was all about transformation and recognition. Su Nan’s elegance and power shone brighter than ever, while Fu Yechuan and Fu Yingying were left grappling with the consequences of underestimating her.

🔎 Deeper Review & Analysis

👩 Character Deep Dive

Su Nan radiates rebirth, her transformation from dowdy housewife to commanding vice president complete. She wears elegance like armor, her poise silencing whispers and turning admiration into power. Fu Yechuan is unraveling, his fury exposing how deeply Su Nan still haunts him, his silence outside the banquet a confession of regret. Su Jin is calculating, using Su Nan’s brilliance to elevate Su Corporation while keeping his own emotions hidden behind a cold smile. Fu Yingying embodies envy, her bitterness boiling as she watches Su Nan eclipse her, her disdain a mask for insecurity. Lu Qi remains the sardonic observer, his banter with Fu Yechuan highlighting the cracks in their brotherhood.

⚔️ Themes of Transformation and Envy

This chapter explores transformation as Su Nan steps into her new identity, radiant and untouchable, while envy consumes Fu Yingying, who cannot reconcile the woman she once dismissed with the queen before her. Admiration and jealousy collide, showing how power shifts when dignity is reclaimed.

⏳ The Author’s Pacing

The pacing moves from Fu Yechuan’s quiet storm outside to the dazzling spectacle of the gala. The shift is deliberate: suffocating regret contrasted with radiant rebirth. The chapter lingers on Su Nan’s entrance, slowing to capture every detail of her gown and aura, then quickens with Fu Yingying’s jealous outburst, leaving tension simmering for the next confrontation.

🔮 Predictions

I predict Su Nan’s brilliance at the gala will solidify her authority, but also draw dangerous envy.

Looking ahead, several plot threads seem likely:

• Su Nan: Her poise will win admiration and strengthen Su Corporation’s position.
• Su Jin: He will continue to use Su Nan’s presence strategically, masking his own motives.
• Fu Yechuan: His regret will deepen, pushing him toward confrontation with Su Jin and Su Nan.
• Fu Yingying: Her jealousy will drive reckless attempts to humiliate Su Nan, but they will backfire.
• Lu Qi: His role as commentator will sharpen, but his loyalty to Fu Yechuan may be tested.
