Chapter 207 Playing along with her was just a ploy to spite Nan Xia…
"Who can blame us? She's a rich heiress, she's got money and connections. Ordinary nobody like us aren't good enough for someone like Lawyer Song."
"Now I truly believe that Nan Lu and Song Lu did not have a secret relationship."
"Keep your voice down, can't you see Nan Lu walking right ahead? Are you looking for trouble?"
Nan Xia listened to their whispered gossip behind her but didn't respond. After going downstairs, she got directly into Chen Yan's car, and he took her to an international brand dress store.
She chose a dress and jewelry there. There was a professional makeup artist. The whole set cost around 1.7 million yuan. She originally wanted to pay for it herself, but Shen Yan paid for it in advance.
She transferred the money to him via WeChat, but he didn't accept it.
After her makeup and styling were completed, a simple yet elegant dark blue strapless gown perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure. Although the gown had no embellishments, it shimmered under the lights with a radiant quality, resembling a blue galaxy.
The stylist styled her hair in an updo, adorned with a diamond hair clip that perfectly complemented her matching diamond earrings and necklace, making her look incredibly elegant and sophisticated.
When Nan Xia walked over, Shen Yan was mesmerized. She was so beautiful that he regretted having the stylist dress her up so brightly. He wondered if Song Yanzhi would regret it when he saw her.
"Should we change into a more casual suit? I'm only going to an engagement party tonight, is it really appropriate to dress up so elaborately?" Nanxia asked him.
Shen Yan walked up to her and said, "...No need, let's leave it at that. You don't need to be reserved. There will definitely be many glamorous women at the engagement party tonight."
Since you're already wearing it, why take it off? It's beautiful, but that man is already engaged; he has no chance to back out.
Royal Court International Resort Hotel.
The engagement party was even more lively and crowded in the evening.
The Song couple were busy with social engagements, but Song Yanzhi hid on the terrace, standing alone in front of the railing, holding a glass of red wine, looking at the night outside with a gloomy expression.
He downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, picked up the bottle from the table next to him, and poured himself another glass. He wasn't in a good mood today because of his engagement.
I don't expect it either.
Maybe this is how my life will be? He took another sip of the wine in his glass; he had been drinking since the afternoon and was already a little drunk.
Inside the venue, Gu Xiaoxing, dressed in a custom-made red embroidered strapless dress, kept looking for Song Yanzhi, but couldn't find him anywhere.
Suddenly she saw his parents socializing not far away. She took her wine glass and walked over, calling out affectionately, "Uncle and Aunt, have you seen Yanzhi? I can't find him again."
"He's probably in the restroom or some private room entertaining clients. You don't need to keep looking for him; just come with us to the business." Mrs. Song said deliberately, knowing she had already noticed her son was unhappy today.
Sigh, marriage is a big deal. Does he really want to marry a woman he doesn't like?
Once you get married, it won't be so easy to get a divorce later.
“But today is my engagement day with him. If I wander around alone in crowds, people will get suspicious and start to think all sorts of things about me. I think I should go find him.” Gu Xiaoxing said, walking towards the terrace again.
She checked all the private rooms but didn't see him.
She walked onto the dimly lit, large terrace and carefully looked at the people in each booth, but still couldn't see him. She walked further in and finally spotted him by the railing in front!
"Yanzhi, why are you here alone? Your aunt and uncle are entertaining guests. Shall we go and help them out?"
She walked over and took his arm, saying that she just wanted to stand by his side and show everyone that she would be his fiancée from now on.
And a month later, they will hold their wedding, and she will become the real Mrs. Song!
Song Yanzhi removed her hand, his tone cold and distant: "Go and attend to your own business. I want to be alone for a while, so don't bother me."
"What do you mean by this? If you don't like me, why did you get engaged to me?" Gu Xiaoxing disliked his indifference.
“If you’re not happy, you can cancel anytime,” he said, looking at her with a serious expression.
She immediately fell silent. She had finally gotten engaged to him; how could she dare to cancel it?
“I’m not upset. If you don’t want to socialize, that’s fine. I’ll drink with you here…” she said, taking the red wine next to her, pouring him a glass, and then adding some for herself.
Drink up, drink more, maybe tonight we can make it a done deal.
“I said I want to be alone,” Song Yanzhi said in a deep voice.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at him, feeling secretly annoyed, but had no choice but to leave... It seems she should get pregnant with his child as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it's too risky.
At the entrance, Nan Xia and Shen Yan arrived. Her arrogant aura and confidence were no less than any man's, and she attracted the attention of many people as soon as she stepped in.
She looked at the people who had come here, all of whom were big shots in the business world and famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. She was a little surprised. Did Song Yanzhi have such a wide network of connections?
He has quite the prestige; all the people who attended his engagement party were big shots!
Such a grand engagement party must have cost a lot of money, right?
By the way, who are his parents? What do they do? I've known him for years, but I've never met his parents. They should be here tonight, right?
She glanced around at the people inside, but didn't see Song Yanzhi and his fiancée...
Madam Song spotted her immediately. She had thought she wouldn't come today. Could it be that her son had sent her?
She took out her phone and called the guy. After he answered, she said, "Nan Xia and Shen Yan are here. Do you want to come and entertain them?"
"Where?" Upon hearing his mother's words, Song Yanzhi sobered up a bit.
"This way to the entrance." Mrs. Song hung up the phone after saying that, then took her husband's arm and walked towards her. "Attorney Nan looks beautiful tonight."
Nan Xia looked over and responded politely with a smile, "Mrs. Song is too kind. I didn't expect Mrs. Song and Chairman Song to be here."
Madam Song couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that she still didn't know that Song Yanzhi was her son!
“We are very familiar with Song Yanzhi, and we will definitely be here tonight.”
"That's right, you've worked together for several years."
Nan Xia smiled and said that Shen Yan, who was standing next to her, turned to look at her. Just as he was about to tell her that the two people in front of her were Song Yanzhi's parents, the man walked over with his fiancée.
Song Yanzhi looked at his beautiful ex-girlfriend, who looked stunning tonight, his eyes completely fixed on her, as if there was no one else around. When he saw the man beside her, a pang of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly suppressed it.
"Congratulations, Attorney Song! You and Miss Gu look like a perfect couple."
Nan Xia looked at the two people walking towards her, maintaining a polite smile on her face and congratulating them, but she felt inexplicably uncomfortable inside.
"Thank you. If we didn't look like a couple, why would I get engaged to Xiaoxing? Xiaoxing is the most beautiful and kindest girl I've ever met. We'll be getting married in a month."
