Mr. Wen said with a long face, "Qinian, what's wrong with you lately? The marriage between the Wen and Qin families was arranged a long time ago."
"The marriage agreement isn't solely for Wen Shengsheng," Wen Qinian stated bluntly, instantly provoking his mother's displeasure: "Do you want Qiqi to marry Qin Heming? Qinian, do you want Qiqi's life?"
Tears welled up in Meng Qiqi's eyes, and a deep sorrow surged into her heart: "Big brother, don't you love Qiqi anymore...?"
For a moment, Wen Qinian dared not look at Meng Qiqi again.
He tried his best to control his emotions and said, "Wen Shengsheng is still safe and sound, so those rumors might not be true. The engagement was originally scheduled for the future, so why don't we..."
"No, Qiqi will not marry Qin Heming!" Wen's mother hugged Meng Qiqi and glared at Wen Qinian with unfriendly eyes. Wen's father shared the same idea. Unable to get everyone's approval, Wen Qinian felt extremely uncomfortable.
He stormed back to his room. In Wen's mother's arms, Meng Qiqi gritted her teeth. Why was her older brother starting to protect Wen Shengsheng?
That bitch, don't even think about taking away the person she cares about.
In fact, Wen's mother was a little hesitant. She asked Meng Qiqi for her opinion again. If Meng Qiqi wavered, Wen's mother could let Wen Shengsheng give up the marriage contract again.
"Mom, I know you love me, but I've decided on Ling Zhiyan for the rest of my life, and I only want to marry him."
When Ling Zhiyan was mentioned, Meng Qiqi's jade-like face blushed with shyness.
Mother Wen sighed softly.
"Alright, whatever you say, but Qiqi, don't regret the path you've chosen later."
"Mom, I won't regret it. I will be very, very happy." Happier than Wen Shengsheng, surpassing Wen Shengsheng in every way.
What good would it do to marry Qin Hemian?
Let's talk about it after she can settle down and live a peaceful life!
Mother Wen looked at Father Wen and said, "The marriage between the Wen family and the Qin family is on the agenda, so the marriage between the Meng family and the Ling family should also be on the agenda. A hundred battles are not as good as double happiness."
“That’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ll go and discuss this with Old Meng.”
Downstairs, people are discussing Meng Qiqi's wedding, while upstairs, Wen Shengsheng is choosing a cheongsam for the evening banquet.
So, Wen Shengsheng took out a small stand-up collar twill satin cheongsam from the wardrobe. It was light beige with green bamboo leaves dyed on it, and it was simple and elegant!
This waist-cinching design—Wen Shengsheng pinched her own waist, it really accentuated her figure. Wen Shengsheng looked in the mirror and added another peach wood hairpin to her hair.
Time passed little by little.
Just as Meng Qiqi was getting ready to go out with Wen's mother, Wen's father mentioned Wen Shengsheng.
Mother Wen said, "She just came back and doesn't know any etiquette. What if she causes trouble at the banquet? It would be better to let her learn properly at home first, and then take her there next time."
The Wen family is, after all, a wealthy and powerful family. Today, the Ling family will be attending the banquet, and Wen's mother will absolutely not allow any accidents to disrupt Qiqi's marriage.
Besides, Wen Shengsheng is alluring.
What Wen's mother hated most was seductive women, but she had given birth to a seductive daughter whose face was so alluring to men that she couldn't help but think of a woman from the past!
"you……"
"Oh, where are you going?" Wen Shengsheng gracefully came down from upstairs. Her appearance lit up the entire living room. Wen's father looked at Wen Shengsheng with delight. This was his creation, a natural beauty!
"Sheng Sheng, this cheongsam suits you very well."
"Thank you for the compliment." This cheongsam was a gift from Qin Heming. All the cheongsams in her wardrobe were gifts from Qin Heming. She couldn't possibly wear them all. Of course, Wen's father knew that they were gifts from Qin Heming, so he thought this cheongsam was even more beautiful.
"We're going to a banquet, are you getting ready to go, sister?"
"What a coincidence, I'm also going to a banquet!"
Meng Qiqi asked, "Sister, the banquet requires invitations, do you have one?"
"No." But Qin Heming did attend; she was Qin Heming's date.
Meng Qiqi revealed a hint of mockery, and Wen's mother immediately scolded her: "We will take Qiqi to this banquet. You should study etiquette at home. If you do well, we can consider taking you next time."
“They’re all children. I think Sheng Sheng is very well-mannered. Sheng Sheng, Daddy will take you.” Father Wen was very attentive and humble. Wen Sheng Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”
Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but sigh, power really is a wonderful thing!
Meng Qiqi, speaking softly from behind, said, "Mom, let's go. We can always take better care of my sister at the banquet."
"You are so kind and sensible."
Meng Qiqi smiled without saying a word.
Upon arriving at the banquet, Wen Shengsheng's appearance sparked much discussion, but she remained fearless, poised, and open-minded!
Wen's father was honored.
He slightly bowed his arm, but before his smile could fully spread, Wen Shengsheng had already walked away from him. Wen's father looked embarrassed, and many people chuckled softly. Wen's father felt ashamed and couldn't help but feel resentful towards Wen Shengsheng.
It was indeed unacceptable—
Suddenly, he changed the subject, saying that his daughter was indeed capable and that Sheng Sheng was really amazing!
Wen Shengsheng actually went to Qin Heming's front, and what was most shocking was that Qin Heming did not order anyone to throw Wen Shengsheng away.
Not only that, Qin Heming even allowed Wen Shengsheng to link arms with him!
Oh My God!
I've never seen anything like this before.
My dear grandmother, is it going to rain blood from the sky?
Those who didn't know the relationship between the two men, including Wen's father, gave him a thumbs up in admiration: "Old Wen, you're really good at keeping things under wraps."
"It seems you're going to become Mr. Qin's father-in-law. You'll have to take good care of us old friends in the future."
The praised father stood tall and proud.
Suddenly he felt that his daughter had really made him proud today!
The elated Mr. Wen stepped into the banquet surrounded by people. Meng Qiqi, who was behind him, looked unhappy, and Wen Shengsheng would steal her spotlight.
"Qiqi...you're finally here." Lin Bei walked quickly toward them. In front of Wen's mother, Lin Bei was always a sensible and well-behaved child. She had a sweet tongue: "It's been a few days since I last saw you. Auntie looks even younger. Standing next to Qiqi, we don't look like mother and daughter, but more like sisters."
"You have such a sweet tongue."
"Mom, I'm jealous." Meng Qiqi pouted, pretending to be angry. Wen's mother and Lin Bei exchanged a smile.
"You little rascal," Wen's mother said helplessly.
The three of them walked into the banquet hall chatting and laughing. Most of the people present today were figures from the Beijing social circles.
As Wen Shengsheng followed Qin Heming, quite a few people came to toast and chat with her. Qin Heming held a high position and great power, and they were afraid of him but also wanted to curry favor with him, so Wen Shengsheng heard a lot of flattery.
She always wore a polite smile!
After all that, I'm really tired.
Are you tired?
"Just a little bit." She couldn't help but touch her cheek, and a smile flashed in Qin Heming's eyes.
Qin Heming said, "If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to. No one will dare to say anything if my people have a long face."
"..." Why didn't you say so sooner!
Wen Shengsheng glared angrily at Qin Heming. She felt that Qin Heming must have done it on purpose. The two of them together seemed to be exchanging glances.
"Look... that person from the Ling family has also arrived—"
