Zong Ao spotted Yi Mu in the crowd at a glance. He was like a ray of light, needing no embellishment, naturally attracting everyone's attention.
Guan Shengye clearly thought the same thing, and all eyes were fixed on Yi Mu from all directions.
"She's a real stunner, her waist is simply amazing."
"Whose little star is this? Wow, she's amazing. By climbing up to the Guan family, she's guaranteed to become famous."
"Are you blind? She's the rightful daughter-in-law of the Guan family. They're already engaged. Look at her ring. They're planning to fly abroad to get married next year."
"She's so lucky. I remember a minor actress in the industry who was ruined and her family didn't even dare to make a scene."
"That's what he deserved. He wanted to climb the social ladder and also wanted to monopolize the favor. There aren't many perfect things in this world."
Guan Shengye took Yi Mu's hand and asked him, "It's a bit too noisy here, shall we go somewhere else?"
Yi Mu shook his head. Since he was going to marry Guan Shengye in the future, he would inevitably have to face this kind of situation.
Facts speak louder than words. These people are just bored and have nothing better to do. They've seen it all before, so they're not surprised anymore.
Zong Ao walked over and led Guan Shengye and Zong Ao to see Elder Zong.
Guan Shengye's engagement party caused quite a stir in the entertainment circle. In high society, nothing else matters but face.
Playing around with men is nothing; a man who isn't a playboy in his youth has wasted his life.
But if she were to actually marry a man and take him home as her wife, that would be truly explosive news.
However, Master Zong himself had seven or eight wives in his lifetime, which is quite an open-minded person.
Guan Shengye is more open-minded about marrying a man than some young people.
Guan Shengye presented his congratulatory gift, and the old man said "good" twice. His cloudy eyes fixed on Yi Mu, and after looking him over for a moment, he smiled and said, "This child looks good."
The sisters-in-law of the main family, who had just been laughing at Guan Shengye, suddenly changed their expressions and shut their mouths tightly.
Yi Mu chose a set of old green pipes for the old man. The old man was a heavy smoker; apart from loving beautiful women, he loved smoking all his life.
The gift wasn't very expensive, just a few tens of thousands of yuan, plus a few words of congratulations.
The old man nodded kindly and then gave Yi Mu a large red envelope.
The red envelopes were so thick that even the grandchildren standing behind them were envious.
Yi Mu glanced at Guan Shengye, who smiled and told him to accept it: "Elder Zong likes you, so please accept it."
Yi Mu smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Uncle."
The banquet was held at the main family's residence, a villa nestled against the mountains and beside the water, a secluded place with excellent scenery.
In the open courtyard, a long table was set with champagne and pastries, flown in from elsewhere.
Guan Shengye took Yi Mu with him and introduced him to some elders and business partners of the Guan family.
As Guan Shengye had predicted, Yi Mu showed no fear in the face of this situation.
He possesses an innate air of nobility, clearly not someone to be underestimated.
Guan Shengye knew that if Yi Mu had survived the accident twenty years ago, he would definitely have more than he has now.
Old Man Guan is here today too. He ran into a good friend he hadn't seen for many years and asked Guan Shengye to go and meet him.
Imu felt a bit hot and wanted to find a place to get some fresh air.
He told Guan Shengye to go ahead first, and that he would come to find him when he felt better.
That senior was Guan's father's right-hand man in the old gang, so Guan Shengye couldn't afford to be negligent.
He handed Yi Mu a glass of water, saying, "Sit down and rest for a bit. I'll be back in a little while."
Yi Mu nodded. The champagne had a strong aftereffect, and his body wasn't very tolerant of alcohol; he was even sweating a little now.
The main family's courtyard is beautiful, with roses twining around the wooden railings, their pink and white blossoms filling the air.
The lush, unblemished green lawn and the five-story villa, modeled after Rococo architecture from abroad, with its exterior painted in a light blue hue, create a particularly dreamy view from the foot of the mountain.
No wonder so many women are desperate to marry into this place; it's practically a medieval castle, fulfilling every woman's ultimate fantasy.
