The high school entrance exam was over, and the graduation party arrived as scheduled. Song Qingmo didn't go, but Mu Hengshi did. He had no idea that Song Qingmo hadn't even come to the party today. This was a day to establish prestige among the children of wealthy families, a day to win glory for one's family, but on this day, Song Qingmo, he didn't come.
Because his parents favored him, Song Qingmo naturally had no worries. Even if he did, he felt he could suppress them with his own strength. If he really didn't like the social etiquette, then he wouldn't do it. After all, his family was rich, so it didn't matter. Song Qingmo wanted to become a dispensable figure, and then one day when he quietly left, no one in the world would remember him, and he would die cleanly.
But how could such an outstanding person live an ordinary life? And Song Qingmo's fate seemed to have been predetermined long ago. Of course, this was something I only understood after Song Qingmo's death.
At the graduation party, young men and women were dressed in expensive gowns. Some resembled princes, others princesses, ladies of noble families, all dignified and distinguished. Of course, the most striking figure was the young man seated on the second floor. He wore a fitted blue-black evening gown that perfectly displayed every detail of his figure. Pinned to his chest was a brooch with a sapphire centerpiece and gold thread inlays. Every strand of his hair looked meticulously styled. Even the dress had a faint, subtle pattern.
"The banquet is about to begin. Why don't you go down and communicate with those famous talents? And today I will choose a fiancée for you here. You can go to the banquet to take a look and tell me which one you like. Mom will definitely help you to strictly screen and choose the most perfect wife for you." Mu's mother walked up to Mu Hengshi, and considerately tidied up Mu Hengshi's clothes with her hands. She stared at Mu Hengshi with her eyes and urged him to go down quickly.
Mu Hengshi strangely did not move. He still stood on the second floor watching the movements below the stage. He shifted his gaze to the entrance of the banquet hall, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
"Hengshi, why haven't you gone down yet? You've been staring at the door. Are you waiting for someone? I remember everyone who should have come has arrived." Mu's mother naturally knew who Mu Hengshi was waiting for.
Song Qingmo usually stayed close to her son, but today, he wasn't there. Mu's mother also wanted to join the noble ladies, but when she saw Mu Heng, he was sitting upstairs, showing no intention of going downstairs to chat with the celebrities. She had to come up and remind him. After all, the guests attending today were all prominent figures, and the children of the families attending the banquet were all quite powerful and well-known. She had to choose a suitable candidate for her son before those people did.
Not long ago, Mu's mother had tested the Song family's attitude, but the Song family had not given in. It seemed that it would be difficult for Mu Hengshi and Song Qingmo to marry, so she could only take advantage of this banquet to pick another one.
If their son had been more assertive, perhaps the Song family would have felt comfortable handing Song Qingmo over to their son. However, their son's attitude towards Song Qingmo was always a bit strange, which made the Song family feel that this was unnecessary. If their son fell in love with Song Qingmo in the future, that would be a real problem.
"Mother, do you know why Song Qingmo didn't come today? Today's occasion is not suitable for him to make trouble." Mu Hengshi looked at the door and found that the Song family had come, but he didn't see Song Qingmo. He knew that this person would definitely not come tonight.
Didn't Song Qingmo like him? Why didn't he come to such an important occasion today? Did he know that his mother was urging him to choose a fiancée? Mu Hengshi was now only feeling angry and a sense of loss in his heart.
"I don't know why Qingmo didn't come, but Old Song and the others are usually very pampering to him. It's not surprising if he doesn't want to come." Mu's mother looked at Mu Heng's reaction and thought that it was indeed the case.
"But no matter whether he comes or not, you should go down quickly. If you don't choose one yourself today, it's not impossible for me to arrange one for you." Mu's mother's tone suddenly became heavier. She thought her son was too reckless today.
"Okay, I'll go downstairs then. Goodbye, mother." Mu Hengshi understood what his mother meant and knew he couldn't disobey her any longer, so he had to go downstairs. As Mu Hengshi went downstairs, almost all the girls stared at him, with shy smiles on their faces. They lowered their heads, but couldn't help but glance over here, and there were also some little boys among them.
But Mu Hengshi did not respond to their gazes. Instead, he walked away indifferently, casually walked a few steps in the dance hall, and then came to a wine table next to him. He held the wine glass in his hand and looked at the red wine in it, his thoughts drifting away.
Song Qingmo, Song Qingmo. If you don't come today, then I really won't have a chance in the future. If you appear by my side now, maybe I will choose you as the partner for today's marriage. Come quickly, Mu Hengshi was a little hopeful, hoping that Song Qingmo would change his mind and come to this banquet.
But someone seemed to have no self-awareness. It was he who turned cold towards Song Qingmo that day, and he had been avoiding Song Qingmo these days. Now he was actually looking forward to Song Qingmo coming here and marrying him.
"Hello, my name is Su Muxue, and I'm the daughter of the Su Group. Can I invite you to dance with me?", a girl with outstanding appearance, her face was a little blushed, but that blush made her skin look even more delicate, rosy and lovely. She also had a small crystal crown on her head, just like a Disney princess on the run. Su Muxue thought to herself, since Mu Hengshi didn't come, then I would go find him myself, he would definitely not refuse, right? Su Muxue was still very confident in her appearance. Many boys had invited her just now, but she refused them all. After all, at this banquet, she was most optimistic about Mu Hengshi. Originally, Song Qingmo was not bad, but it seemed that he also liked Mu Hengshi, so forget it.
