The Cangcui Sea is rarely open to the public, so the number of tourists visiting it with their families has reached a peak during this period.
To prevent stampedes or other accidents, the interstellar police have been deployed in several groups.
When Qiao Mei arrived at her destination by aircraft, she only managed to get a parking spot underground from the security guards by using her status as a guest at Qiao Yingying's birthday party.
Xu Hui and she did not come from the same direction. They are now said to have entered the banquet hall, chosen their seats, and are waiting for her and Ao Cang to arrive.
Attending a banquet requires appropriate attire; Qiao Mei wore a very long evening gown, which made walking difficult.
It's alright, there's still an underground light staircase.
However, there were also many people taking the underground light elevator, forming a long queue.
Qiao Yingying has many friends, but it would never be so exaggerated as to be this crowded.
It wasn't until she squeezed into the crowd and overheard some wealthy women gossiping that she learned that Crown Prince Qiao Ziming had made a last-minute decision to choose a fiancé for Qiao Yingying at this birthday banquet.
Even if a princess of the royal family is not favored in ordinary times, when she gets married, she represents the face of the royal family, so she will not be treated poorly and will usually be given many benefits.
Furthermore, the marriage alliance with the royal family was tantamount to a partnership, which would bring many subsequent benefits.
Thinking about it this way, Qiao Mei wasn't too surprised that so many guests had suddenly arrived today.
After taking the light elevator to the high-rise hotel where the banquet was being held, Qiao Mei went to find Xu Huifa according to the location she had provided.
But when they arrived, they saw two of Qiao Ziming's personal guards standing at the door, indicating that he had already gone inside.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei originally wanted to go in, but remembering that Li Chonghua had also come along, she gave up the idea. She took Ao Cang to a nearby empty table, got some food and drinks, sat there and waited, and sent a message to Xu Hui via her personal terminal.
Tell her to remember to send her a message after she's done.
"An'an, the smell of death in here is so strong."
Qiao Mei had just picked up a small cupcake and hadn't even taken a bite when she heard Ao Cang's low voice beside her. She frowned, looked up to meet his gaze, and asked to confirm, "Are you sure you didn't smell it wrong? Is it everywhere in the banquet hall, or...?"
"The entire banquet hall." The young man's expression was serious, his golden eyes looking at the black death aura in the air that Qiao Mei couldn't see, and his voice was lowered a little, "An'an, I suspect that Qiao Yingying might be planning something using this banquet."
Otherwise, why would they allow a large amount of deathly energy to permeate the entire banquet hall?
This banquet has attracted many celebrities, as well as people from the Federation and the royal family. Even if they wanted to do something, this occasion is not appropriate.
Once discovered, the consequences for Qiao Yingying will definitely not be light.
Based on her understanding of Qiao Yingying, she felt that she wouldn't be that stupid.
But anything can happen, so she remained vigilant.
It wasn't until Xu Hui suddenly called her via personal terminal, interrupting her and Ao Cang's thoughts, that she stopped thinking and answered the call.
After the call connected, the voice that came from Xu Hui's end was that of Crown Prince Qiao Ziming. Xu Hui did not speak.
Qiao Mei noticed this and quickly put on her headphones, guessing Xu Hui's intentions. She probably wanted Xu Hui to know the situation in real time.
"When I first heard that you got married, I couldn't believe it. I never thought it was true."
"Li Chonghua, we've known each other for so long, how come I've never heard you mention before that you have a penchant for having affairs? How were my ex-women? Did they lose their charm?"
As soon as she put on her headphones, Qiao Ziming's vile words flooded Qiao Mei's ears, instantly igniting anger in her chest. Fortunately, Li Chonghua quickly retaliated.
"Your Highness, we're in the interstellar age now. You yourself must have had countless women, right? Xiao Hui has only ever been with Your Highness. It's hardly appropriate to use such a word."
"And, Your Highness, you and Xiao Hui have had no relationship since you completed the divorce proceedings. The past cannot be repeated. To me, Xiao Hui will always be the dazzling person she was at the Interstellar Academy, and everything about her will remain the same."
At first glance, Li Chonghua's words sounded quite polite.
But upon closer examination, one can see that he was actually subtly mocking Qiao Ziming as a rotten cucumber, and that even though he had nothing to do with Xu Hui anymore, he was still clinging to the past, which was completely unlike a man.
Qiao Ziming, being the crown prince, naturally understood his sarcasm and, after his face darkened with anger, wanted to curse him.
But Li Chonghua didn't explicitly say what he meant by those words. If he jumped up in anger now, wouldn't that be exactly what Li Chonghua wanted?
He took a deep breath, his forehead veins bulging with anger. He decided to stop talking to Li Chonghua and instead looked at Xu Hui, who had once been the easiest to control and obeyed him.
"Consort Xu, you are quite tolerant. You even managed to keep the matter of reconciling with the Xu family a secret from me. I will give you a chance. Go and divorce Li Chonghua today, and I will marry you again with the honors due to a Noble Consort."
Qiao Mei laughed, not understanding where Qiao Ziming's confidence came from.
Compared to Li Chonghua, he's not only weaker overall, but probably because he's slept with too many women. Qiao Mei remembers that the last time she saw him, he was incredibly greasy.
To be honest, the only thing he was better than Li Chonghua in was his status as the crown prince, which he was born with.
Xu Hui would only divorce Li Chonghua and return to the palace, that den of wolves, if she were completely blinded by greed.
Ao Cang, having been given an earphone by Qiao Mei, also heard Qiao Ziming's confident statement. With a furrowed brow, he asked Qiao Mei without any malice, "An'an, how exactly did your mother choose your biological father back then?"
How can someone say something so shameless and bizarre? Do they really have a problem with their brain?
Qiao Mei was initially quite angry, but seeing Ao Cang's earnest expression as he criticized Qiao Ziming, she was instantly amused.
"Perhaps it's because he was very good at pretending back then, but anyway, the outcome is good now."
Xu Hui no longer needs to stay in the palace suffering from depression, and can be with the people who truly love and care for her.
Xu Hui remained silent for a long time on the other end of the earpiece before finally speaking.
“Your Highness, we are no longer husband and wife. You can just call me Madam Li or by my name. As for the opportunity you mentioned, I think there may be someone else who needs it more than I do. If you came here just to talk about this, then I think you can leave. I have a headache and need my husband to massage it for me.”
Qiao Ziming was extremely angry at Xu Hui's disobedience, and even found every word she said to be extremely offensive.
He instinctively reached out to slap her, but this time, Li Chonghua stood in front of Xu Hui and firmly grabbed Qiao Ziming's wrist.
