Shi Guang looked at them and her face darkened—for the three of them to turn up together, it was as though they had arranged for it.
The person she wanted to see was not appearing, yet those she didn’t were all around her.
Just where was Rong Mo?
When was he coming?
But, if it were as Lu Yanchen said—that today’s engagement banquet would not go so smoothly—it was better for Rong Mo to not turn up.
Given the cold shoulder despite taking the initiative to greet, Yan Zi’s face turned sour.
Looking at the awkward expression Yan Zi was having, Su Ya chuckled. “Seems like Miss Shi really does have a wonderful relationship with my little auntie, eh? Even though it’s veiled between a feud…” She then looked at Lu Yanchen, implying at the feud between him and Shi Ze. “… you’re still able to come and congratulate her.”
Shi Guang gave a fake smile and mocked. “That must have you feeling disappointed, right?”
It was really curious why Su Ya was using all sorts of schemes to separate her and Qian Xun and sniff out their relationship—Shi Guang did not know what Su Ya was up to.
Qian Xun then walked over briskly with a cocktail in her hand. “What are you guys chatting about?”
The moment she arrived, the tension in the air eased up.
“Qian Xun, you’re really pretty today!” Shi Guang stood up and praised her.
“Thank you!” Qian Xun gave a gentle smile before turning to Lu Yanchen. “Could I borrow Shi Guang for a couple of minutes?”
“Sure!” Lu Yanchen held Shi Guang’s hand and handed it to Qian Xun. “So long as you send her back safely.”
“Of course!” Qian Xun held hands with Shi Guang and smiled at Su Ya and the rest before walking with to the direction of Old Master Su.
Gazing at their back view, Su Ya was trying her best to repress every single bit of uneasiness she was feeling in her heart.
Qian Xun asked softly, “What were you guys chatting about earlier on?”
Shi Guang shrugged. “Nothing much! You came over soon after they arrived.”
Qian Xun was apologetic. “Seems like I’ve arrived at the wrong timing then.”
“Nonono… That was the PERFECT timing.” Shi Guang chuckled and turned around to catch sight of a couple glaring at her coldly. When they noticed that she was looking back, they spun their heads away.
Another man was watching her as he made his way to the couple. When they saw that Shi Guang was still looking at them, they smiled at her.
Shi Guang turned back—she knew that couple. Those were Su Ya’s parents.
And that man resembled Su Ya; Shi Guang had seen him on television before. He was Su Ya’s old brother—Su Wencheng.
Why were they watching her so warily?
Back then, when Su Ya’s affairs were unveiled, she could not do anything much to Su Ya. As for today’s banquet, Su Ya should have told them beforehand that she was friends with Qian Xun. Shi Guang reckoned that they should not be stirring any troubles with respect to Qian Xun.
“Daddy!” Qian Xun walked over to Old Master Su with Shi Guang and introduced, “This is Shi Guang…”
The moment Old Master Su caught sight of Shi Guang, his expression froze up for a little.
The girl before him had a petite face. Even though her features were not the most exquisite, they formed a really sweet and pure countenance. Coupled with the simple black gown she was wearing, her light makeup and a simple ponytail, she gave off a refreshing and youthful look, completely unlike someone that was married.
So, this was that Shi Guang.
Indeed, she resembled his dear wife that had passed away.
Even though they were not exactly the same, she truly resembled her in general.
