Capítulo 957: Chapter 642: Desolate Heart, Fleeting Words, Enduring Love (68)
The engagent venue for Chu Qing and Xie Jialun was a famous five-star hotel in H City.
By the ti the two arrived, many guests were already present at the banquet, and plenty of reporters were gathered outside.
The Chu Family’s company mainly developed abroad, but as their ancestry was from H City, they still held so influence there.
As for the Xie Family, although not outstanding in H City’s business scene, they were a promising enterprise in recent years.
Now, with the two families joining in marriage, the topic was already interesting, especially since Chu Qing was divorced, and her ex-husband was the Vice President of the famous Chang Family Group’s joint company in H City, Chang Linsheng.
As such, the topic beca even more intriguing.
Yang Su held Chang Linsheng’s hand and said, “Will those reporters recognize you?”
Chang Linsheng thought for a mont and said, “They might.”
Yang Su frowned, truly not wanting Chang Linsheng to be labeled as “Chu Qing’s ex-husband,” or “forr son-in-law of the Chu Family,” and other such nicknas.
At this mont, he, Chang Linsheng, was her husband, her man.
“Let’s go! Don’t worry!” Chang Linsheng embraced Yang Su and walked inside. Yang Su rembered sothing and said, “Oh, Feifei is here too, she’s here to help protect you!”
Upon hearing this, Chang Linsheng smiled, did he need protection? This little girl was so adorably endearing!
Chang Linsheng said, “Rest assured, I’ll have Acheng go pick her up!”
Acheng is Chang Linsheng’s assistant.
Yang Su nodded, finally feeling at ease.
The banquet hall was luxurious and sumptuous, glittering with gold and decorated with flowers, and many people were present.
Yang Su didn’t know anyone, nor was she interested in eting them.
Her purpose today was to remain by Chang Linsheng’s side and go nowhere else.
In fact, Chang Linsheng’s presence today was quite awkward, as many at the event knew he and Chu Qing were once married. However, at his side was a young, beautiful girl, arousing curiosity.
When soone asked, Chang Linsheng candidly replied, “This is my wife!”
Yang Su watched as those middle-aged n (they all looked older than her Mr. Chang ╭(╯^╰)╮) called her “Mrs. Chang,” with imnse satisfaction blossoming in her heart.
Yang Su wouldn’t let Chang Linsheng drink, mainly because she feared soone might spike the drink. Chang Linsheng said, “Would they really drug every drink at the entire banquet?”
Yang Su thought about it, agreeing that seed unlikely, but still warned, “Don’t drink too much!”
Besides drugging, there’s another tactic called getting drunk!
Chang Linsheng pinched the little woman’s cheeks, really finding her increasingly adorable!
After greeting everyone around, Yang Su finally saw a few acquaintances: one was Xie Xin, another was Xie Jiale (barely an acquaintance ╭(╯^╰)╮), and the other was Han Shaojing!
Han Shaojing looked at Yang Su and Chang Linsheng standing together, and though there was an age gap and Yang Su looked a bit youthful, she had to admit, they made a great pair!
Han Shaojing smiled, “Susu, you’re getting prettier and prettier! Indeed, a joyous event makes one shine with vigor!”
Yang Su: “…”
What joyous event did she have? How could this person speak so carelessly!
But she still appreciated the comnt on her growing beauty~o(≧v≦)o~~
Han Shaojing greeted Chang Linsheng and said, “Nanxi isn’t feeling well today, so Yinchu is at ho with her and couldn’t co. If you need any help, let know!”
Chang Linsheng nodded.
Han Shaojing smiled, turned, and noticed a graceful woman approaching, her gaze flickered; he rembered her as Chang Linsheng’s divorce lawyer, Xie Xin.
Han Shaojing said, “You two sit tight, I have a few familiar friends I need to greet!”
Han Shaojing took his leave, and as he passed by Xie Xin, they exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, but didn’t engage in much conversation.
Xie Xin soon approached Chang Linsheng and Yang Su to greet them and apologized.
Xie Xin, having spent years abroad, wasn’t very close to this elder brother, but he was her brother after all. She’d heard of the issues between Chang Linsheng and Chu Qing, even knowing a bit about them.
Back then, she was still young, in high school, but vaguely rembered her brother seed to have ruined soone’s marriage.
Later, she went abroad for her studies, pursued law for many years, and upon returning, worked as a lawyer and served as a consultant for the KING Group’s Legal Departnt.
Finding out about Chang Linsheng wanting a divorce happened by chance. Back then, Lu Yinchu intended to hire another lawyer, a colleague of hers, but upon learning about it, she volunteered to represent Chang Linsheng in the case, hoping to make up for the mistake her brother allegedly made years ago.
When she t Chu Qing in the United States, Chu Qing recognized her.
During her relationship with Xie Jialun, Chu Qing had t Xie Xin once.
Although many years had passed, and Xie Xin was no longer a little girl, her appearance and na made Chu Qing rember her.
At the ti, Chu Qing said sothing to Xie Xin: “Does your brother know what you’re doing?”
Her brother naturally didn’t know, nor did he need to.
She was already twenty-seven years old, no longer a child, and many things she could decide on her own without needing anyone, not even her brother, to dictate.
What she didn’t anticipate was Chu Qing’s return to the country, or her brother getting involved with Chu Qing and Chang Linsheng’s relationship again.
She had tried to advise against it, but it was of no use.
When her brother intended to get engaged to Chu Qing, she didn’t know why, but she felt uneasy, though she couldn’t articulate why.
But regardless, she felt the need to apologize, on behalf of her brother.
Chang Linsheng understood Xie Xin’s intention. He smiled and said, “Lawyer Xie, you’ve already helped a lot, you don’t owe an apology. On the contrary, I should thank you!”
Xie Xin frowned, uncertain of what to say.
The engagent ceremony was about to begin, and Xie Xin needed to host other guests, so she couldn’t stay with them long, and left after a few words.
Watching Xie Xin’s back, Yang Su sighed, saying, “They really don’t seem like family!”
Yang Su also spotted Xie Jiale, and the two rely nodded at a distance without further greeting; Yang Su found this just fine, as they weren’t really acquainted anyway! ╮(╯_╰)╭
Liao Feifei still hadn’t arrived, and Yang Su wanted to call her. Chang Linsheng offered to accompany her, but Yang Su refused: “I’m just making a call, you wait here for . Rember, don’t go anywhere, just wait for here!”
Mainly, she was worried about the safety if Chang Linsheng went with her to a quieter place, with lots of people in the hall, even if Chu Qing wanted to kidnap soone, it wouldn’t be possible!
Chang Linsheng chuckled, “Do you think your husband is that weak? I’ve had so training too!”
Yang Su stuck out her tongue; whether he had or not, she didn’t know, but his stamina was undoubtedly excellent.
Every night he could exhaust her to no end, yet appear unaffected himself.
Yang Su said, “I’m just going to the restroom and to call Feifei, you wait for , I’ll be right back, don’t worry!”
Before Chang Linsheng could say anything, a familiar friend approached him for a drink, and Yang Su seized the chance to wink at him and run off.
Chang Linsheng sighed; he really didn’t know what to do with this little girl!
…
Yang Su turned and headed towards the restroom down the corridor.
In a quieter spot, she picked up her phone and called Liao Feifei.
The call was answered after two rings: “Hello, Feifei, why haven’t you arrived yet? I… mm…”
Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a hand suddenly grasp her from behind and cover her mouth, followed by an unpleasant sll invading her nostrils, and the phone in her hand was snatched and switched off by soone behind…
Her wide, dark eyes let a tear slip, and as her consciousness blurred, an incredibly handso face flashed in her mind…
She still rembered asking him to wait for her in the hall…
But now what, Chang Linsheng? I seem… unable to return…

Wishing everyone a happy Lantern Festival, happiness for the whole family!
