Chapter 266 The Last Chance
Seeing the embarrassed looks on the faces of the women in front of him, Pei Zhuohao jokingly said, "Mr. Chu is indeed a rare talent, but I, Pei Zhuohao, am not bad either. Would you like to take a look at me?"
But soon he received disgusted looks from everyone.
Although the Pei family's power and status in the base are not as strong as the Chu family's, they are not bad either.
The problem is that the Pei family is controlled by the third branch of the Pei family, not the first branch where Pei Zhuohao is.
Moreover, Pei Zhuohao is a playboy and lustful person by nature, and the women around him are all planned on a one-for-one basis.
These famous families would be crazy to choose her.
In contrast to the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall, the meeting room upstairs was extremely depressing.
Sitting at the head of the Chu family, Chu Xueyi, also the head of the Haicheng base, glanced around at the people present and asked the guard beside him, "Xiao Zhao, what time is it now?"
The guard replied seriously, "Commander, it's 6:45, and there are still 15 minutes until the wedding banquet is scheduled to start!"
Chu Xueyi: "Is there still no information about visitors to the Morning Light Base?"
Guard: "Commander, not yet!"
Cheng Fang, who was adorned with jewels, said in confusion, "Brother Chu, I think we should not wait any longer, so as not to delay Ling Feng and An Ran's wedding."
Chu Xueyi sat in his seat with his eyes slightly narrowed, without any reaction.
Everyone present was smart and just smiled without saying anything.
Cheng Fang, however, seemed oblivious to the strange atmosphere. She continued, pulling Madam Chu's people along, "Ziping, it's not that I look down on Si Chen. She's been holding a grudge against Ling Feng for abandoning their engagement and choosing An Ran. I'm sure she'd be unwilling to attend their wedding now."
Qiu Ziping, Chu Xueyi's wife, frowned and said, "But didn't the person who sent the invitation say that Si Chen said he was coming?"
"Commander, Madam Commander, when we handed flyers to the chief of the Morning Light Base, we received a reply that she would come on time to participate." A round-faced man with glasses affirmed to Qiu Ziping.
When he brought back this reply, he was commended by his superiors, so he couldn't let people think that he was deliberately lying.
This concerns his future promotion, so he must make it clear.
"This is a serious matter, they will definitely not talk nonsense." The round-faced man's boss spoke up for his subordinate.
Cheng Fang understood what they meant and quickly explained, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to say you lied. Although I'm Xu Sichen's stepmother, I raised her since she was a child. I can't say I understand her best, but I do understand what she's thinking. She said she would be on time for the appointment, most likely to deliberately deceive you, and her purpose was also to get revenge."
"She's done this kind of thing a lot at home before. Whenever Anran and I have a birthday party, she always comes up with something to upset us. She clearly agreed to attend the night before, but disappeared the next day. So I thought maybe she would do the same thing this time."
After pouring a bucket of dirty water on Xu Sichen, she glanced at Chu Xueyi uneasily, then smiled and said to Qiu Ziping, "Ziping, it's already 6:50. Why don't we hold their wedding first? After all, there are so many people waiting."
Cheng Fang didn't understand why these people cared so much about Xu Sichen?
It can’t be because of that Morning Light Base.
If she had not come to Haicheng, she would have been very wary of Xu Sichen's identity.
But when he saw the size and prosperity of the Haicheng base, he immediately stopped taking it seriously.
No matter what, this is the last chance for them, mother and daughter, to turn their lives around and live a good life, and she will not allow any mistakes.
