Uncle Wu was shocked to see the man and dog leave clean and return covered in mud. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought they had fallen into a ravine.

Su Ping looked at Lele, who was lying on the ground panting and refusing to move. She guessed that Lele had been exhausted from digging in the dirt and was too weak to go out again.

After handing the box she was holding to Uncle Wu and asking him to wait for Shen Jiayu to return it to her, Su Ping was too tired to continue and wanted to go back to lie down.

The thought of attending Feng Qiang's engagement party that evening gave her a headache. She didn't even want to touch her hair; it must be covered in sand and mud.

I randomly picked a hair salon on the roadside, and when I went in, everyone inside stared at me like I was a monkey.

The shop assistant, maintaining a smile, approached her, led her to a chair, and said, "Hello, may I ask what you would like to...?"

Su Ping looked at her hair in the mirror and wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

He quickly replied, "Just wash it clean and dry it."

I washed my hair three or four times before the water became clear and free of dirt.

More than half an hour later, looking at her completely transformed self, Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, paid the money, and walked out of the store.

After getting home and taking a shower, I went straight to bed.

She didn't open her eyes until the alarm rang, feeling sore all over. She really needed to exercise more; she was exhausted after just a few shovelfuls.

Anyway, tonight wasn't her show, so Su Ping tidied herself up a bit, put on some light makeup, and finally changed into a white dress, instantly creating a great atmosphere.

Su Ping was very satisfied with her makeup tonight. Uncle Feng was already waiting in the car. When he saw her come out, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for her.

After giving him the address, Su Ping lay down and dozed off.

I don't know if it was because I was too tired during the day, but I fell asleep again soon after and even had a dream.

In her dream, she seemed to be locked in that dark room again, her hands and feet were tied up, and a man was lying next to her, his arms around her waist, his breath on her neck, and she trembled involuntarily.

Then she felt the man beside her wake up, and in the darkness, his eyes were looking at her intently.

"You're awake."

The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Su Ping turned her head to get a better look at the face, and suddenly she heard Uncle Feng's voice.

"Miss, we've arrived."

Su Ping suddenly woke up and found that her forehead was covered with sweat.

After wiping his face with a tissue from his bag, he opened the car door and got out.

Finally, as if remembering something, he said to Uncle Feng, "Uncle Feng, wait for me downstairs for a while. If you see me coming down, turn on your hazard lights. As soon as I get in the car, just drive home."

Uncle Feng nodded, and after seeing Su Ping leave, he opened Happy Match and started playing.

The Yun and Feng families booked the banquet hall on the 12th floor. Su Ping went in and pressed the elevator button for the 12th floor.

After the elevator doors opened, the receptionist at the door smiled and nodded at her.

Su Ping took out the invitation from her bag, and the receptionist gave her a small gift box after receiving it.

Su Ping took it and walked inside.

There were already quite a few people inside. Su Ping casually found a seat near the door, where anyone with a keen eye could easily spot her.

Feng Ruru was setting up the venue with her girlfriends when she saw her walk in, and she was stunned. She didn't expect her to actually come.

After handing her things to her colleague, she walked over to the lighting and camera crew and said with a smile, "Director, I think our process is a bit too simple. How about this, we'll have a mutual friend of the couple say a few words of blessing for their love? What do you think?"

The director said it was fine, and Feng Ruru went over to the lighting department and said she would be in charge of the selection process later.

Not long after Su Ping sat down, the lights suddenly dimmed, and then a photo of Yun Qi and Feng Qiang appeared on the stage.

Applause immediately erupted from the crowd.

The host was giving his blessings on stage when Su Ping saw Yun Qi walk onto the stage from the side and stand next to the host, nodding in agreement.

Yun Qi was dressed in a white suit, with a handsome and refined face. His hair was combed to the side, revealing a little bit of his smooth forehead.

It was more wild than usual.

Su Ping rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. After a while, she suddenly felt sleepy and started pecking at rice.

Suddenly another round of applause broke out. Su Ping opened her eyes abruptly, not knowing what was happening, and passively joined the crowd in clapping.

The spotlight slowly moved with the girl on the other side. Feng Qiang walked onto the stage, her dress complementing her skin tone perfectly and showcasing her great figure.

As the host spoke, he took the two people's hands together and then walked to the other side to continue creating a lively atmosphere.

The background music suddenly switched to a very lyrical part. Su Ping was still distracted when a light suddenly fell on her.

Suddenly, he became the center of attention.

She saw a look of panic flash across Yun Qi's face, as if he hadn't expected her to appear here.

"This lady is very lucky. As a friend of the two main characters, what words of blessing do you have for her?"

Su Ping remained silent, only staring at Yun Qi. Yun Qi felt increasingly uneasy and wanted to step down to block everyone's gaze from her, but Feng Qiang beside her grabbed her hand.

"Yun Qi, I know what you made a promise with my dad."

Facing the lights, Feng Qiang maintained a smile, but her words caused Yun Qi's expression to change.

He had made an agreement with Feng Qiang's father that the project would be given to him unconditionally once the deal was done.

But how did she know?

Feng Qiang sneered inwardly. If she hadn't overheard the truth in her father's study that day, she didn't know how long she would have been kept in the dark. She had been schemed against by the two men she loved most.

The engagement she was looking forward to was just a fantasy; a month later, it would fall apart due to incompatibility.

"That's right, I invited Su Ping here. You and my dad have treated me like this, you can't leave me the only one embarrassed in the end, can you?"

"You'd better cooperate with me tonight, or I won't mind letting everyone know that she seduced you knowing we were engaged, and that she'll be caught in the act of being the third party."

Upon hearing her words, Yun Qi's eyes instantly turned icy cold, staring at her as if she were a dead person: "She is not."

Seeing that Su Ping hadn't made a move, the host sensed a slightly awkward atmosphere and tried to smooth things over: "It seems this friend is a little nervous. No problem, let's all send our best wishes..."

Before he could finish speaking, the closed door was pushed open from the outside.

"As long as I still bear the surname Yun, this engagement cannot proceed!"

The man walked under the light while speaking loudly.

Su Ping saw the man's face clearly. He did have some similarities to Yun Qi in his eyes and brows, but he wasn't as refined, nor was he as tall as Yun Qi.
