Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Like a Young Girl in the Throes of Spring
Ye Shu’s gaze drifted past the crowd, settling on Sheng Shaochen.
A man like Sheng Shaochen, so perfect as if he were a piece of art meticulously sculpted by God himself, was destined to be surrounded by a halo where all praise and wonderment existed solely for him.
Ye Shu’s small hand unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress as if she were a girl smitten with spring love, her heart thumping wildly.
And his gaze coincidentally met hers, and in that moment of eye contact, it felt like electricity was fiercely colliding in the air.
Ye Shu’s face turned red, and the roots of her ears heated up under his gaze. She hurriedly lowered her head.
All this did not escape Ye Xinyu’s watchful eyes.
She derided Ye Shu in her heart, “Delusional blockhead, thinking she can hook any man with her seduction tricks? As if she could snag someone like Sheng Shaochen! Jin City’s number one ascetic male idol with gynophobia to boot!
With a man like that, even if Ye Shu were to stand naked in front of him, he probably wouldn’t bat an eyelid, would he?
Ye Xinyu wrapped her arms around Gu Zuocheng coquettishly, and deliberately said, “Zuo Cheng, I didn’t expect Mr. Sheng to personally attend our wedding today. I’m so happy.”
As she spoke, she cast a sly glance toward Ye Shu, as if to say – stop looking, Mr. Sheng is paying attention to me and Zuo Cheng, not you, little slut!
Yet Ye Shu didn’t notice Ye Xinyu’s gaze, her eyes solely fixed on Sheng Shaochen.
Him, the center of everyone’s attention, approaching her brought an unprovoked sense of nervousness and excitement.
Ye Xinyu saw Ye Shu looking smitten and her contempt deepened. She shot a glance at Guan Zhizhi.
Guan Zhizhi immediately took the hint, “Oh look, Mrs. Sheng and Mr. Sheng are actually walking this way. They must be coming over to personally congratulate Sister Xinyu and Gu Zuocheng. What an honor!”
“Yes, Mr. Sheng rarely attends such events. I heard it’s because of his gynophobia; he even missed his own cousin’s wedding.”
“That’s different though, isn’t it? Gu Zuocheng is Mr. Sheng’s own cousin! And Ye Xinyu’s father, Ye Shengli, is a business partner of Mr. Sheng.”
Everyone was enviously praising Ye Xinyu.
Ye Xinyu swelled with pride, graciously accepting all the compliments.
Gu Feng and Ye Shengli stepped forward to greet Bai Yueru and Sheng Shaochen, and after a round of cordial small talk, followed closely behind them towards Ye Xinyu and the others.
“Here they come, I’m so excited!”
“Sister Xinyu, it’s such a privilege to attend your wedding, being so close to my idol!”
The crowd around Ye Xinyu was buzzing with unrestrained excitement, some even crying tears of joy on the spot.
Ye Xinyu’s vanity reached new heights, and as she turned her head and saw Ye Shu still gazing dreamily at Sheng Shaochen, she sneered inwardly, looking forward to seeing Ye Shu make a fool of herself.
Bai Yueru walked up to Ye Xinyu and Gu Zuocheng, smiling politely, “Zuo Cheng, Xinyu, wishing you a happy marriage, may you grow old together.”
“Thank you, thank you, Auntie!” Ye Xinyu excitedly extended her hand, directly grabbing Bai Yueru’s gloved hand.
Bai Yueru’s brow furrowed slightly.
Gu Zuocheng hurriedly lowered his voice, “Don’t be too disrespectful!”
Ye Xinyu withdrew her hand displeased, “What’s the big deal? We’re all family now, right, Auntie?”
As Ye Xinyu looked up smiling, she saw Bai Yueru had already walked past her, heading straight to Ye Shu. Bai Yueru extended her hand to Ye Shu, “You must be Ye Shu? I’m Sheng Shaochen’s mother, Bai Yueru. Shaochen often talks about you.”
Bai Yueru’s words rendered the entire room silent.
Everyone’s eyes widened, staring at Ye Shu.
Ye Shu actually knew Sheng Shaochen?
And from what Bai Yueru said, it sounded like Sheng Shaochen had even introduced Ye Shu to Bai Yueru?
What exactly was going on?
