Because I don't know how to address Lou Yuanhai right now, when I saw him, I just nodded my head as a greeting.

The instant Lou Yuanhai saw me, he stopped smiling and only nodded indifferently, the same as how he treated me back in the Lou Family.

I pulled up the chair next to Qiao Chenfei, and just as I sat down, Lou Yuanhai stood up. He patted Qiao Chenfei's shoulder and smiled amiably, "Then I'll leave first.

"Xiao Ying, do you have time for the weekend? "Accompany me to a place." He did not answer me, but consulted me.

He rarely did, and the cloud of doubt that I had just cleared floated back to me.

Putting down the cup, I looked at him quizzically, but his expression was so natural that I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Where to?" I asked him.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Secret, you'll know when the time comes."

"He's so mysterious, could he have done something bad?" My tone was joking, but my doubts were growing.

"It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. A good thing." He sipped his coffee and smiled broadly.

"A joyous occasion?" I looked at him.

He tapped my forehead with his finger, stopping me from continuing. "Okay, you don't have to ask."

He suddenly changed the subject. My eyelids twitched, and I quickly lied, "A client asked me out on a temporary date to talk to him about something."

Qiao Chenfei nodded, he did not suspect anything.

I lowered my head a little and tore at the tissue, feeling guilty and uneasy. What on earth was I supposed to tell him? Seeing that he was in such a good mood and that I hadn't thought about it yet, I decided to wait two days until the weekend when the good news was over.

The next few days were quiet, and in the blink of an eye it was the weekend.

In the afternoon, Qiao Chenfei took me to the modeling studio. When I arrived, I found out that he had made an appointment a few days ago, and seeing him act so grandly, I asked him half-jokingly and half-tentatively: "You aren't going to attend the inauguration ceremony, are you?"

"More or less." Qiao Chenfei answered with a smile, then turned his head and instructed the stylist, "Please help my girlfriend dress a little prettier."

"You think I'm not pretty now?" I pretended to be angry and teased him.

"Beautiful." "But I want you to be more beautiful, the one that's the center of attention."

"…" After hearing what he said, I felt less and less confident. Just where was he taking me?

But he obviously didn't want to tell me, so I had to keep my curiosity to myself.

After a few hours, I was finally done. Looking in the mirror, even I was stunned by my dazzling appearance, let alone others.

Qiao Chenfei hugged me from behind, stuck close to my face and softly praised in my ear, "Xiao Ying, you're so beautiful."

Seeing how he was deep in love with me, the guilt in my heart rose up once again. My face was smiling, but in my heart, I was muttering to myself: Chen Fei, I'm sorry.

Coming out of the modeling room, he drove me to Tianyue Hotel.

"Why are you here?" My heart skipped a beat.

Qiao Chenfei smiled and did not explain. He helped me untie my seat belt and said, "Get off."

I frowned. I didn't know what he was hiding, but I trusted him, so I didn't ask. I pushed the door open and got out of the car, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going to happen.

When I got into the elevator, I was surprised when he pressed the button for the top floor.

That is the most luxurious banquet hall. Back then, the old man's eightieth birthday was held there, and it was also there that the relationship between Lou Shaotang and I completely broke down.

Why did Qiao Chenfei bring me here? Was this a good thing?

No, I don't think so.

What did Lou Shaotang's engagement with Zhong Ruoqing have to do with Qiao Chenfei?

I regretted that when Zhong Ruoqing gave me the invitation card that day, she only glanced at it symbolically, and did not notice where the location was, but if there were no surprises, it should be here.

Contradictory thoughts kept tearing through my head.

"Chen Fei, what exactly is the joyous occasion that you are talking about?" I didn't have the patience to wait for him to find out.

Qiao Chenfei still smiled mysteriously, "I won't let you down, you just wait to see a good show."

His words made my already apprehensive heart race even more. What do you mean, waiting to see a good show? Watching a good show from who? Lou Shaotang?

I clenched my hands together and stared at the numbers that were jumping up and down. A thin layer of sweat unconsciously formed on my palms.

Ding! The elevator door opened.

"Let's go." Qiao Chenfei held my hand and we walked out together.

As I neared the banquet hall, my heart raced faster. Maybe Qiao Chenfei could also feel it, he stopped and turned his head to smile at me, saying, "Don't be nervous, it's more natural to be there."

I nodded and was about to move on when I caught a glimpse of the huge poster at the entrance to the banquet hall and felt a moment of suffocation.

My guess isn't wrong. What he brought me to is really the engagement banquet for Lou Shaotang and Zhong Ruoqing.

"Chen Fei, why did you bring me here?" Even though my heart was in a mess and my mind was in a mess, I still maintained a calm expression on the surface and joked, "You're not here to ruin everything, are you?"

"No, I'm here to bless them." Qiao Chenfei denied it as he wiped the smile off his face, "Also, give him a big present."

My heart sank as I looked at him steadily. His smile was devoid of goodwill, and carried with it a pride I didn't understand.

I suddenly thought back to what Lou Yuanhai had said that day. But why?

"Go in."

His urging interrupted my thoughts, and I returned to my senses, but it was too late to examine the matter further, and I began to walk with him.

At the door, Qiao Chenfei raised his arm and signaled me to hook onto him. I thought, since I'm here, then I should be straightforward. Furthermore, my identity is Lou Shaotang's ex-wife, I shouldn't let others laugh at me.

Thinking about it, Qiao Chenfei spent so much effort to dress me up, didn't he also want to give me face? I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

I hooked my arm around his, puffed out my chest, lifted my chin, and walked with him into the banquet hall, laughing.

As soon as we appeared, some people recognized me with sharp eyes and started whispering to the people around us. Their expressions were one of mockery and contempt.

Heh, you didn't even have to guess what they were talking about to know.

I ignored them and walked past them in a proud peacock pose, throwing them contemptuous glances along the way. Of course, I didn't care much about those who rolled their eyes.

Just then, Lou Yuanhai saw us from far away, the smile on his face immediately turned into a sincere smile. He greeted the people next to him and walked quickly towards us.

Qiao Chenfei patted my hands, "Xiao Ying, go eat something by yourself first, I will come and find you later."

Thinking that he might want to go to the party, I didn't want to participate, so I replied, "Okay," and headed to the dining area.

After walking a few steps, I curiously looked back. Seeing that Qiao Chenfei was following Lou Yuanhai towards the resting area, I was a little confused. I kept having the feeling that something was wrong with them.

Before I could think about it, I heard a high-pitched, hostile female voice.

"Little slut, who let you come?"

Hearing this familiar voice, the corners of my mouth curled up. I turned my head to look at the face covered in heavy makeup. "Today is my sister's good day. As your big sister, I naturally have come to give my blessings."

It would be weird if Yang Mengzhu trusted me, she stared at me with blazing eyes, "You want to destroy this?"

"Ya, you saw through it?" I pretended that my trick had been exposed, and my face was filled with a wicked smile, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that I was joking.

But Yang Mengzhu did not take my words as a joke, she took it seriously, and her voice suddenly became louder, "You dare! "I'm warning you little slut, if you dare to cause trouble, I'll make you disappear from this world."

Being relatives with the Lou Family was indeed different. Her tone of voice was so loud that it could heal the heavens!

"Yo, I'm so scared." I lifted a glass of champagne and took a slow sip. How did it look like it was afraid? It was obviously mocking her.

Seeing that I treated her warning like shit and also seeing that some people were laughing secretly, Yang Mengzhu felt really humiliated. He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit me, but my hand quickly grabbed onto his wrist, pushing her back.

She hit the table.

With a clatter, the champagne pagoda on the table was knocked over. Following which, nearly a hundred wine glasses shattered with a clang.

Ahh!

Everyone around us started shouting, and everyone else in the hall turned to look at us. The staff were in a hurry to see what was going on, and the situation became extremely chaotic.

Looking at the broken glass and wine on the ground, Yang Mengzhu was scared silly. She half opened her mouth and stood there with a pale face.

I smiled as I walked in front of her. However, my tone sounded extremely worried for her. "Aiya, you're in trouble. What should I do?"

After saying that, my hand deliberately loosened and the cup in my hand fell to the ground.

Hearing the sound of glass shattering, Yang Mengzhu regained her senses, seeing me laughing at her misfortune, she immediately pounced towards me with her face twisted, "Little bitch, I'll kill you!"

I laughed at her overestimating her own capabilities. With such a fawning and clawing three-legged cat posture, she was still able to kill me? Tch!

I couldn't hold on any longer and started to laugh.

Just as I was about to turn my head to dodge, a hand rushed in front of me and caught the plate.

Thinking that it was Qiao Chenfei saving the beauty in time, I turned my head in joy. When I saw it, my smile froze.
