The guests were chatting and laughing, but their eyes were attracted by the men and women coming together outside the door.
"Isn't that the young master of the He family, He Chaozhi? Who is the woman next to him? Why isn't it Miss Shen?"
"I heard that tonight is a banquet hosted by Young Master He and Miss Shen. Why did Young Master He bring someone else? This is too disrespectful to Miss Shen."
The guests were holding wine glasses and whispering.
Countless looks with different expressions came towards her. Song Lan took He Chaozhi's arm and walked gracefully.
Those who didn't know her thought she was a wealthy lady from someone's family. She didn't feel embarrassed at all in such an occasion.
Not far away, Shen Yingxue put down her wine glass and stared gloomily at the two people approaching.
He Chaozhihe...Song Lan.
Is He Chaozhi crazy? Tonight is a banquet for him and him, but he actually brings this unworthy woman here?
Are you trying to save someone’s face?
"Yingxue, what's going on? I mean, it's you and Mr. He tonight -"
A surprised question came from the friend behind him.
Shen Yingxue couldn't let go of her dignity, so she turned around and smiled at them, pretending to be fine.
"Oh, isn't Chaozhi just like this character? He loves to play. This is the friend he brought."
Everyone present exchanged meaningful glances.
Are they really friends? Whose friend, in front of the future hostess, is affectionate and has eyes intertwined with the male host?
Gee, this marriage between the He and Shen families is really messy.
Everyone raised their wine glasses to cover their smiles as they watched the show.
Shen Yingxue forced herself to calm down, held up her skirt, and came to He Chaozhi, who was introducing Song Lan to meet people.
The smile on her face was as precarious as a mask.
"Chaozhi, you brought your friends over and why didn't you say anything? Everyone here is a guest, so you can't neglect them. Is this Miss Song?"
Shen Yingxue smiled delicately at Song Lan, but the viciousness in her eyes almost turned into reality, cutting Song Lan into pieces.
"Ms. Song doesn't usually attend high-end places like this. She may be a little unfamiliar, but it doesn't matter. I will take you with me. Come with me, and I will take you to meet the famous ladies in Night City."
It would also help Song Lan know the difference between a sparrow and a phoenix.
Shen Yingxue pretended to be affectionate and wanted to grab Song Lan's hand.
Song Lan hid for a moment.
She smiled and took He Chaozhi's arm again, clinging to He Chaozhi like a bird.
He also put his head on He Chaozhi's shoulder, leaning in as if he was declaring sovereignty.
"Miss Shen, thank you for your kindness, but I am Mr. He's special companion tonight. How can I leave Mr. He alone?"
Shen Yingxue's face almost split.
The two people in front of me are a talented man, a beautiful woman, a loving man and a concubine, not to mention they are a perfect match.
Instead, it makes her, the real heroine, look like a joke.
"He Chaozhi, are you crazy? Tonight is our engagement party, engagement party!!"
Shen Yingxue suddenly approached He Chaozhi and reminded him through gritted teeth.
Although tonight's banquet did not make it clear, the He family, the Shen family, and all the guests all knew what was going on.
This is the news that the He family and the Shen family plan to announce their marriage.
After tonight, He Chaozhi and Shen Yingxue were an unmarried couple.
Shen Yingxue is the future young lady of the He family!
But just tonight, He Chaozhi left Shen Yingxue alone and brought a graceful woman with a mysterious identity to the scene again.
And this woman is so charming that all women are jealous.
"Shen Yingxue, why are you so crazy?"
He Chaozhi smiled. He stretched out his hand and put it on Shen Yingxue's shoulder, giving it a little strength.
Shen Yingxue was pushed away by him.
"Don't go crazy here. I'm going to introduce Song Lan to my dad and Aunt Rong. If you know what's going on, don't cause trouble for me and get out of the way."
He lowered his eyes and chuckled at Song Lan, "Lan Lan, shall we go?"
"Okay." Song Lan leaned against He Chaozhi and passed by Shen Yingxue.
It is self-evident who wins and who loses.
Lanlan...
This intimate title made Shen Yingxue almost faint.
"Look at Shen Yingxue's appearance. She acts like she can be Mrs. He all day long, but it turns out that He Chaozhi doesn't like her at all. Phew——"
"She looks down on us the most on weekdays. Her eyes are always in the sky. But in the end, she was squeezed down by a woman of unknown origin. She really deserves it."
Behind him came the ridicule of the ladies of Night City.
Shen Yingxue is usually domineering and arrogant, but no one takes it seriously.
Now that he is disliked by He Chaozhi, he deserves it!
Shen Yingxue stared at Song Lan's graceful back, blaming all the faults on Song Lan.
If it wasn't for this bitch, how could she be so embarrassed?
"Song Lan...bitch, wait for me!"
He Mingchuan was toasting with Jiang Yurong.
When he turned around and saw He Chaozhi walking over with a woman he had never seen before, He Mingchuan's expression changed.
"Dad, Aunt Rong."
He Chaozhi nodded to the two of them and lazily pushed Song Lan in front of him.
"This is my female companion, Song Lan. Song Lan, this is my dad, and Aunt Rong."
The young and beautiful woman was charming and graceful, her lowered eyelashes trembled into people's hearts. She softly called Uncle He and Aunt He.
No one saw Song Lan's clenched fists.
The sharp nails pierced the palms, and bright red blood seeped out along the lines...
Jiang Yurong, long time no see.
Jiang Yurong seemed unaware of the strangeness of the woman in front of her. She looked at He Chaozhi worriedly.
"Chaozhi, don't you know the purpose of tonight's banquet?"
"I know." He Chaozhi hugged Song Lan into his arms and held the woman's slender waist firmly with his big hands.
"Don't you just want me to get engaged to Shen Yingxue?"
"Knowing that you still dare to bring a female companion here, whose face are you trying to embarrass!?" He Mingchuan said angrily.
At this time, Father Shen and Mother Shen also came.
The marriage between the He and Shen families was originally a happy event, but when Shen's father and Shen's mother heard that He Chaozhi actually brought a female companion tonight, they were so angry that they quickly came to ask for an explanation.
"Mr. He, our Yingxue is the apple of the Shen family's eye. The engagement between the two families has been agreed for today, but Chao Zhi brought a female companion and pushed Yingxue away. Is this an insult to our Shen family!?"
"Uncle He, Chaozhi and I grew up together. No one knows Chaozhi better than me. I am willing to be the daughter-in-law of the He family and honor you two elders. But what Chaozhi did is really too much!"
Seeing her daughter crying, Father Shen and Mother Shen were extremely angry.
Mother Shen held her daughter in her arms distressedly, her piercing eyes scanning Song Lan in He Chaozhi's arms.
"Today you, the He family, must give our Shen family an explanation. Our family, Yingxue, has raised such a pampered person, and we did not let your He family ruin it!"
Father Shen also said, "If you can't give me an explanation, this engagement party won't have to go on. We, the Shen family, can't afford to lose this person!"
Several members of the Shen family looked at each other angrily, making He Mingchuan feel both embarrassed and angry.
He didn't know what this brat was up to today, but he went crazy at the engagement party!
