Three days later, A City witnessed an unprecedented engagement party.
The engagement party of the head of Leng Group and the double award-winning actress was a standout event. Not only were the protagonists highly distinguished, but the grand affair also gathered domestic and international business elites, as well as a constellation of stars. It could be said that this engagement party was no less grand than any award ceremony.
Various media outlets flocked to the scene, arriving early to the engagement venue, fearing that if they were even a minute late, they would miss the headlines.
Luxury cars, lawns, champagne, roses, and the melodious sound of violins filled every corner of the venue with a romantic atmosphere. And among all this, the most eye-catching were the protagonists of this engagement party.
This was their big day. Before the ceremony even started, they were surrounded by a group of childhood friends. Some made jokes, some offered blessings, it was very lively.
However, this time, Zhong Chu did not join the bustling crowd. He stood alone in a corner not far away, quietly watching everything that was happening before him.
He took a glass of champagne from a waiter, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one go.
He frowned, why did the alcohol taste so bad today?
From the start of the ceremony to the end, he kept drinking one glass of champagne after another. He didn't know how much he had drunk until he heard Leng Yixiu's voice from behind him.
"So you were hiding here alone."
Zhong Chu's eyes flickered slightly, and when he turned around, he had already put on a playful and unrestrained handsome face, "You're so busy with your affairs, you don't have time to pay attention to me. Naturally, I'm wherever it's cool and comfortable."
"At least you have some self-awareness."
"My level of understanding has always been high," Zhong Chu saw him alone and couldn't help asking, "Why are you alone, where's your future wife?"
Leng Yixiu pointed to the crowd not far away, "She can't get away for the time being."
"As her fiancé, aren't you going to help her out?"
"You know, I never get involved in entertainment industry matters."
"More heartless than our Young Master Zhong? I remember last time a little star almost jumped to her death for you, and you didn't even bat an eye, right?"
"Each takes what they need, though it's not me who makes them want to live or die, but my money." Zhong Chu swirled the wine in his high-stemmed glass slowly, his tone becoming serious, "If that woman really risked her life for me, I'd naturally be moved."
"If it were you, wouldn't you be moved?"
"Ha, no wonder Lin Yixun was so miserable back then." Seeing Leng Yixiu's brows furrow slightly, Zhong Chu's playful demeanor changed, and he spoke in a deep voice, "I met Lin Yixun a few days ago."
The man's face shifted slightly, then turned cold, "Is that related to me?"
"Don't you want to know how she's doing?" Without waiting for Leng Yixiu's response, he said with a stern expression, "She's not doing well, very poorly."
"How she's doing has nothing to do with me." The man's brow raised lightly, he glanced at Zhong Chu with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "What's this? Our smiling executioner suddenly overflowing with sympathy?"
"Me, overflowing with sympathy? I just can't stand it, back then..."
"She brought it upon herself back then." Leng Yixiu interrupted him coldly.
"She did go a bit too far back then, but the price was too high."
Seeing Leng Yixiu's face gradually turning cold, Zhong Chu knew he had gone too far. After all, tonight was Leng Yixiu and Cheng Ying's engagement party, why bring up Lin Yixun now.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing more. But thinking about Lin Yixun's predicament at Nightshade, his heart felt a bit uncomfortable. Though that girl used to always tease him, making him grit his teeth in hatred, when all was said and done, they owed
