This person, to be precise, was an acquaintance, but not a very familiar one. She didn’t have much to do with him, but he was related to Xue Feifei.
He was Xue Feifei’s ex-boyfriend, Huang Qichu.
But now, he’s the fiance of Yu Sihua.
Although Lu Weixi was not very close to Xue Feifei back in the day, they grew up together and were classmates in the same school and shared the dormitory. She also knew Huang Qichu, they had meals together, and they could be considered acquaintances.
At the banquet last night, she was only focusing on Mr. Liao. As soon as Qin Zhigu appeared, she left. There were so many people, and the lights were dim, she didn’t notice Huang Qichu was there.
Huang Qichu is from a traditional scholarly family, his parents are professors at the neighboring Z University. He is a decent person too and behaved himself while dating Xue Feifei. If it wasn’t for the huge debt owed by Xue Feifei’s father, they could have ended up together.
Especially before boarding the ship, Xue Feifei even found her to drink sulkingly for a whole night. From their talks, Xue Feifei still missed her ex-boyfriend. When Qin Zhimei brought Yu Sihua to cause a scene at her company, she knew that Yu Sihua was going to get married. But to her surprise, Huang Qichu was the one marrying Yu Sihua. Besides, Yu Sihua even signed a contract worth five million with her, the penalty for breaking the contract is fifteen thousand.
The world is indeed small.
At this time when the drinks started coming, the Yu family members came to socialize. Huang Qichu and Yu Sihua are engaged, making him part of the Yu family, and naturally, he came along.
As they faced each other, they quickly recognized each other’s identity. Lu Weixi nodded first, Huang Qichu also politely responded, they were both a bit awkward.
Yu Sihua was surprised and turned her head to ask, “Qichu, do you know Lu Weixi? I thought you didn’t go to the same school as us.”
“Lu Weixi?” Huang Qichu was a bit surprised as he thought Lu Weixi’s surname was Bai. But it was not the time to mention that, so he just nodded, “Yes, we met when I was a student.”
He went abroad to study in Europe shortly after he broke up with Xue Feifei, and it was there he met Yu Sihua. He didn’t hang out in the same circles as Qin Zhiyou and others. He only knew that Lu Weixi’s family was pretty rich, and she had a wealthy boyfriend. And he was unaware that the Yu family, where Lu Weixi sought her marriage and the Qin family where she was married were old acquaintances.
Obviously, Lu Weixi couldn’t spill the beans either. Huang Qichu and Xue Feifei broke up amicably, and they also broke up six years ago. Who Huang Qichu wanted to date was his freedom. Even as Xue Feifei’s good friend, now knowing that Xue Feifei still had lingering affection for him, she couldn’t say that he did anything wrong.
“Yes, it’s been a while. I heard you two are getting married soon, congratulations.”
Huang Qichu nodded slightly. He is a sincere person. He was heartbroken when he broke up with Xue Feifei, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone straight to Europe to heal his wound. But now that he’s Yu Sihua’s fiance, even though Yu Sihua was the one who pursued him, the moment he decided to get engaged, he had prepared to say goodbye to his past.
Although their meeting was a bit awkward, they had no conflict and quickly settled in their seats.
But conflict inevitably knocked at the door, and the first one to speak was Qin Zhimei. She smiled and gestured to Cai Yiren, who was hovering nearby, unsure whether to take a seat: “Isn’t this Yiren? Come, come over here and sit. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other..”
