Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Attending the Wedding
"Your friends seem to be enjoying the show, and you’re bothering me." Su Qing’s peripheral vision caught Meng Chenghui’s friends winking and making faces, clearly entertained. Her tone remained indifferent, but she laced it with a hint of a Superpower User’s pressure. It instantly made Meng Chenghui’s heart tremble. For some reason, her tone actually made him feel a little intimidated.
Meng Chenghui was just an ordinary person and had never encountered this kind of supernatural power. So, naturally, he didn’t know the effect a Superpower User could have on a normal person.
"Well, then, my apologies for bothering you." Meng Chenghui secretly suppressed the alarm in his heart and quickly forced a smile. He said to Su Qing, "Then, Miss Su, please enjoy your meal."
After speaking, he nodded to Su Qing and hurried back to his friends.
"Young Master Meng, how’d it go? Did the beauty say yes?" Meng Chenghui’s friends were sitting quite far away and hadn’t heard the conversation between him and Su Qing. Seeing Meng Chenghui return, one of them quickly asked with a grin.
Meng Chenghui shot the man an irritated glare. "Shut up."
Having never been shot down by a woman before, Meng Chenghui felt a sting of defeat. What made it even more intense was that the one who rejected him was a girl who had truly captured his heart.
"Ah, the beauty actually turned you down!" Noticing Meng Chenghui’s defeated expression, another one of them chimed in, "Young Master Meng, just throw money at her! There’s no woman who doesn’t love money. As long as you throw enough, you can get any chick you want."
The words grated on Meng Chenghui. He shot the man a sideways glance. "Don’t compare Miss Su to those vulgar women."
His cronies exchanged glances. ’...Since when is Second Young Master Meng a changed man?!’
Meng Chenghui stole a glance at Su Qing. He knew from the previous day that she was with Cheng Beilin and had already sent someone to run a background check on her. He just hadn’t heard back yet.
’What a shame. Tomorrow is Cheng Beilin’s wedding. The Meng Family was invited, but I have to go abroad with my second uncle tomorrow. The trip was arranged long ago and can’t be changed. Otherwise, I would have absolutely gone to the wedding to get Su Qing’s attention again. Looks like I’ll have to wait until I get back to make my next move.’ Meng Chenghui had no intention of giving up on Su Qing. This was the first girl in a long time who had truly made his heart race!
Cheng Beilin’s wedding was incredibly lively. The venue was the largest hotel in Xiangcheng’s Central district. More than half of Xiangcheng’s high-society families were in attendance, along with a number of popular local movie stars. The Cheng Family held a pivotal position in Xiangcheng, so with the exception of those who weren’t invited, basically everyone who received an invitation showed up.
Seeing Cheng Beilin, her face beaming with happiness as she nestled against Du Chaoran and accepted everyone’s blessings, Li Huan couldn’t help but whisper to Su Qing with a sigh, "Qingqing, this wedding is just so magnificent. I feel like I’m in a dream."
Even though she had already witnessed the prosperity of Xiangcheng, the sheer luxury of this wedding still took Li Huan by surprise.
Su Qing just smiled faintly. In her past life, before the apocalypse, she too had witnessed a world of glamour and prosperity. For her, Cheng Beilin’s wedding wasn’t particularly stunning.
During the buffet reception after the ceremony, Cheng Beilin and Du Chaoran had to mingle with all their guests. They only managed a quick word with Su Qing and Li Huan before being called away again by Mr. Cheng. After all, now that Du Chaoran had married into the Cheng Family, he needed to integrate into Xiangcheng’s elite circles as quickly as possible, and today presented the perfect opportunity.
Su Qing and Li Huan quietly grabbed some food and drinks and found a corner to sit down. But just as Su Qing was hoping to keep a low profile, someone came looking for them.
"You two must be the ones staying with the Cheng Family, aren’t you?" Just as Su Qing and Li Huan were enjoying their food, a woman in her twenties wearing a pale yellow evening gown approached and asked in a soft voice.
As the woman asked, she sized up Su Qing and Li Huan, finally fixing her gaze on Su Qing’s face.
