Chapter 60: The Most Talented Woman in Suzhou and Hangzhou
After Tang Shuo talked to himself for a long time, the car finally stopped in front of a luxurious European-style villa in Yanjiao.
When Tang Shuo saw that they had arrived at their destination, he breathed a sigh of relief and got off the car first.
Even with his thick skin, he felt a little feverish after being stared at silently by two women in the car for a long time.
The lawn in front of the villa was decorated with lights and colorful banners. A small string orchestra played Bach's famous piece, "This is a warm and festive occasion." A large cocktail tower sat on the nearby table, and in the corner, several chefs were grilling food.
There weren't many people attending the Zhao family's engagement ceremony, but all of them were leaders in their respective fields.
After getting off the car, Jiang Tiantong naturally took Tang Shuo's arm. Before Tang Shuo had time to feel the soft touch on his arm, he felt that there were several murderous gazes on him in an instant.
The combination of Jiang Tiantong and Tang Shuo undoubtedly dazzled many people. They all knew the most beautiful woman in Yanjing, but where did this silly man next to her come from?
When Song Wenchang, who was drinking with Li Ruiyi in the villa, saw this scene, he forgot about Li Ruiyi beside him and stared at Tang Shuo.
Last time, he and his grandfather Song Xueyi went to ask for marriage but were rejected. Although he lost face, he still did not give up pursuing Jiang Tiantong.
He then sent someone to investigate the matter and discovered that Tang Shuo was not Jiang Tiantong's boyfriend at all. It was simply an excuse Jiang Hongtao used to fool his family.
Naturally, he had no intention of pursuing Tang Shuo.
He knew that the main reason was Jiang Tiantong's refusal to accept him. Even if Tang Shuo hadn't appeared, Li Shuo and Wang Shuo would have appeared...
Although he had also heard that Tang Shuo had beaten Huang Chang, in his eyes, Tang Shuo was still not worthy of being dealt with.
Although he knew that these two people were just pretending for others to see, Song Wenchang was still a little angry at this moment.
Because he knew that Jiang Tiantong had severe mysophobia, if she didn't have a good impression of Tang Shuo, she would never have made such an intimate gesture.
Li Ruiyi, who was chatting with Song Wenchang, saw this and asked in confusion: "Wenchang, what's wrong?"
Then he followed Song Wenchang's gaze, and when he saw Jiang Tiantong walking in arm in arm with Tang Shuo, he finally understood what had happened.
"Nothing." Song Wenchang came back to his senses and replied reluctantly.
…………
Facing everyone's gaze, Tang Shuo glanced at the incredibly beautiful Jiang Tiantong beside him, then made up his mind and walked in with his head held high.
How could he retreat at this time?
Although face is worthless, as a man, how can you show cowardice at this time?
Tang Shuo himself did not notice that his expression at this moment was exactly like a toad that had eaten swan meat and was feeling arrogant.
When the two entered the villa, those who thought they could talk to Jiang Tiantong nodded and greeted Jiang Tiantong, and Jiang Tiantong basically nodded in response.
Tang Shuo nodded secretly when he saw this. It turned out that this woman was not the only one who was indifferent to him.
Huangfu Yuanzhou saw the two people come in. He smiled inwardly, then came over with his wine glass, looked at the two people and said, "Tiantong, you and Tang Shuo are really a good match."
Jiang Tiantong did not answer Huangfu Yuanzhou's words, but nodded to Huangfu Yuanzhou as a greeting.
The two families are now preparing to cooperate, so their relationship will naturally become closer.
A good match?
If anyone else here heard this, they'd probably call you blind. Who knows how many people are secretly calling me a toad. Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "Why do I keep running into you?"
Huangfu Yuanzhou seemed oblivious to the sarcasm in Tang Shuo's words and said nonchalantly, "This should be considered our destiny."
Tang Shuo immediately shook his head and stopped him, saying, "I have no interest in men."
Who the hell is interested in men! Huangfu Yuanzhou frowned imperceptibly, then said with a smile: "Brother Tang is really funny."
"I wonder how long you can endure this," Tang Shuo thought to himself. This Huangfu Yuanzhou always showed him affection for no apparent reason. He hadn't realized that his charm had reached the point where it could attract both men and women.
If Jiang Tiantong's sense of uneasiness comes from external threats, Tang Shuo's sense of uneasiness is in his bones. He always suspects people who approach him at the first opportunity.
This Huangfu Yuanzhou seemed to have no conflicts with him at all, and the other party was in a cooperative stage with the Jiang family and had even "saved" him once.
Logically speaking, even if Tang Shuo did not regard the other party as a friend, he should adopt a friendly attitude, but he still had doubts about the other party's motives.
At this moment, Tang Shuo caught a glimpse of Song Wenchang and Li Ruiyi walking towards him. He pointed to the barbecue area in the corner of the lawn and said to Jiang Tiantong beside him with a smile, "Let's go over there and chat for a while."
It’s not that Tang Shuo was afraid of these two people, but these people were always plotting against each other behind the scenes, and on the surface they maintained the appearance of friends, which made Tang Shuo really not interested in just being in cahoots with them.
Jiang Tiantong looked up at Tang Shuo, and seeing Song Wenchang and Li Ruiyi approaching, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Then the two of them walked towards the corner. On the way, Jiang Tiantong whispered a reminder: "Be careful, Huangfu Yuanzhou."
Tang Shuo secretly laughed in his heart. How stupid did Jiang Tiantong think he was?
Li Ruiyi and Song Wenchang, who were walking towards this side, stopped in their tracks. The other party was obviously avoiding them, so how could they shamelessly follow them?
Huangfu Yuanzhou, who was originally chatting with Tang Shuo and Jiang Tiantong, should have felt the most embarrassed, but he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. Looking at the backs of the two people, his face showed an unfathomable expression.
Tang Shuo walked over to a roasted suckling pig and said to Jiang Tiantong beside him, "You haven't had dinner yet, right? Do you want to eat something first?"
Jiang Tiantong frowned and shook her head. As she had been taught etiquette since she was a child, she naturally would not do such a thing in public.
Tang Shuo curled his lips and pointed at the suckling pig, saying, "Master, first, some trotters."
The chef who was roasting the meat smiled, and with a knife he skillfully cut the meat from the pig's trotter into slices, placed them on a plate and handed them over.
Tang Shuo took the plate and started eating as if no one was around. While eating, he even took the time to give the chef a thumbs up.
Seeing how Tang Shuo was eating, Jiang Tiantong actually wanted to try it for the first time. In order to maintain her figure, she only ate some fruit at noon. Originally, she didn't think it was a big deal even if she didn't eat dinner, but at this time she suddenly felt a little hungry.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "gu", and a hint of shyness flashed across Jiang Tiantong's face, but she recovered in an instant, as if nothing had happened.
Tang Shuo smiled and didn't expose Jiang Tiantong. He asked again, "Do you want to try some too? It tastes good."
Jiang Tiantong still shook his head.
"You're worried someone might recognize you!" Tang Shuo smiled and said to Jiang Tiantong, "Let's go out to eat alone later. Eat whatever you want and as much as you want. It's my treat!"
Jiang Tiantong was stunned. She had received various invitations, but this was the first time someone invited her like this.
Eat whatever you want and as much as you want!
Jiang Tiantong nodded as if possessed by a ghost and replied, "Yeah."
“…”
This time it was Tang Shuo's turn to be stunned. He had just been joking, but he hadn't expected Jiang Tiantong to actually agree. Mu Dongle was happy.
What should I do?
Suddenly, cheers were heard in the yard, and a group of people walked out of the villa.
The main event of the evening is here.
Tang Shuo quickly finished the few slices of meat on the plate, thanked the chef again, and then walked up with Jiang Tiantong.
At the entrance of the villa, a man wearing an Italian handmade suit and exuding nobility was pushing a wheelchair and accepting blessings from the guests.
"Chen Ru, congratulations." Huangfu Yuanzhou stood beside the man and said, "Marrying the most talented woman in Suzhou and Hangzhou is a great honor for us men in Yanjing."
"Thank you." The noble man Zhao Chenru bowed. "Brother Yuanzhou, you must come when we get married."
"Of course." Huangfu Yuanzhou agreed with a smile.
Tang Shuo looked at the scene in front of him, and his expression changed instantly.
