Chapter 66: Official Announcement

Qingjiang Hotel.

The banquet began, and guests entered the venue.

At the entrance, a limited-edition Rolls-Royce was parked. The staff opened the door, and several people emerged from the car.

Ruan Yu, wearing Gu Yan Zhi’s suit jacket, held his arm and walked slowly behind him.

Mu Luo Xi and Ji Sheng followed behind them. Almost all the guests’ eyes were on the group, especially on Gu Yan Zhi and Ruan Yu.

Everyone was discussing.

“Whose daughter is this? She’s a perfect match for Mr. Gu.”

“When did Mr. Gu get a girlfriend?”

“Maybe she’s just a temporary companion.”

“How is that possible? Even a blind person can see the unprecedented tenderness in Mr. Gu’s eyes.”

“Speaking of which, the two beautiful women behind him are also top-notch. If he could just marry one of them home, he would be content for the rest of his life.”

“Open your dog eyes and see who the girl behind Mr. Gu is. She’s the daughter of Mr. Gu’s aunt, his sister. Do you want to die?”

Many reporters were invited to the birthday party. They picked up their cameras and recorded this scene.

One reckless reporter shouted, “Mr. Gu, is the girl next to you your girlfriend?”

Gu Yan Zhi paused, and just as everyone held their breath, thinking that the reporter was going to die, he turned around and looked at the camera.

“No,” he said. “She’s my wife.”

Ruan Yu was also taken aback. She didn’t expect him to say that. The guests were also shocked. No one in the circle had heard of his marriage.

Seeing everyone’s questions, Gu Yan Zhi said, “The wedding will be held later. I’ll invite everyone to the wedding then.”

After that, Gu Yan Zhi put his arm around Ruan Yu’s shoulder and left. The female guests all cast envious glances at the woman beside him.

How many people’s heartthrob had already become someone else’s husband? How could they not be envious?

Arriving at the luxurious private room booked by Shen Yu, Ruan Yu looked at Gu Yan Zhi in confusion, “Why did you suddenly…”

Gu Yan Zhi reached out and pinched her cheek, “My wife is so beautiful. If I don’t declare my sovereignty, others will always want to covet her.”

Now, who would dare to covet his wife?

Indeed, no one dared to covet her anymore. It’s just that the girls outside were looking at her as if they wanted to cut her into pieces.

“Gu Yan Zhi, do you know how many women’s hearts your announcement has broken?”

“I don’t know.”

Ruan Yu: “…”

Half an hour later, the top trending topic was:

[t.z Group CEO Gu Yan Zhi Announces Marriage.]

The second trending topic was [Shen Family Young Master’s Birthday Banquet, Inviting Industry Elites to Celebrate.]

Their trending topics overshadowed Shen Yu’s.

Mu Luo Xi was browsing her phone, her eyes wide with disbelief, “A Yu, look at the trending topics.”

Ruan Yu opened her phone and looked at the trending topics being pushed. Various interfaces were filled with photos and articles of her and Gu Yan Zhi.

Ji Sheng also curiously opened her phone, “Wow, that was fast. Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect you to have such a big influence in Nancheng.”

Ruan Yu: “…”

It wasn’t her influence, okay? It was Gu Yan Zhi’s influence.

Shen Yu pushed open the door, “Wow, you really know how to make a scene. You announced your marriage at your brother’s birthday party.”

He teased Gu Yan Zhi, a playful smile on his face.

Everyone looked up at the door and were momentarily shocked by the woman holding Shen Yu’s arm.

When did Tang Qing Ning and Shen Yu get together?

Their gazes lingered on them for a few seconds. Ruan Yu was afraid that Gu Yan Zhi would steal Shen Yu’s thunder and make him unhappy, so she said, “I’m sorry, it’s your birthday, but we stole your thunder.”

Shen Yu didn’t care at all. He waved his hand, “It’s nothing.”

He walked over and patted Gu Yan Zhi on the shoulder, “Even if he crashed my party today, I wouldn’t dare to be angry with him.”

His tone was light, with a hint of teasing, and a playful smile still on his face.

“Let me introduce everyone to…” Then his gaze fell on Tang Qing Ning, who was holding his arm.

Tang Qing Ning was looking forward to his next words. Shen Yu paused, “This is my companion.”

Her face turned ugly for a moment, then she put on a fake smile.

Ruan Yu went over to sit with Mu Luo Xi and Ji Sheng, not giving Tang Qing Ning another glance.

Shen Yu sat beside Gu Yan Zhi, chatting casually. Tang Qing Ning sat awkwardly on the side, her hands clenched tightly.

The three of them stood up. Ruan Yu looked at Gu Yan Zhi, “Let’s go out for a walk. You guys chat.”

“Okay, don’t go too far.”

Seeing the three of them go out, Tang Qing Ning also found an excuse to leave.

As soon as they went out, Mu Luo Xi was full of dissatisfaction, “Is this woman Tang Qing Ning blind? As long as there’s money, she starts to cling to it. A while ago, she was chasing…”

She didn’t finish the last three words. Thinking of that name, her eyes darkened for a moment, but only for a moment.

Ji Sheng changed the subject, “There are so many desserts over there. Let’s go eat some.”

The few of them took some desserts and sat in a corner, chatting.

Girls are like that. They have endless things to talk about when they’re together.

After ten minutes, Ruan Yu looked up and saw Gu Yan Zhi and Shen Yu entertaining guests in the distance.

Mu Luo Xi also looked around from time to time. She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the stairs. She thought she was mistaken and rubbed her eyes. She looked at that position again, but there was no one there.

A clear disappointment flashed in her eyes, fleeting.

Ji Sheng looked at her, “Sister Luo Xi, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing,” Mu Luo Xi shook her head, “I was seeing things. I recognized the wrong person.”

Yes, she must have been mistaken.

How could that person who was far away in another country be in China? Maybe she was just missing him too much.

Tang Qing Ning stood on the second floor, looking at the group of people in the corner of the hotel lobby, her eyes gradually becoming fierce.

Suddenly, a man full of alcohol, put his arm around Tang Qing Ning’s shoulder, “Beauty, you’re alone. Why don’t you keep me company?”

Tang Qing Ning disgustedly shook off his outstretched hand. The man frowned unhappily.

She seemed to think of something, and she smiled seductively, looking at the man, “Look, there are three beautiful women over there. They’re all single.”

She pointed with her finger, motioning for the man to look in the direction she was pointing.

The smile on his face gradually became lewd, “Thank you, sister.”

The man, holding his wine bottle, went downstairs.

Tang Qing Ning curled her lips.

The man walked unsteadily, his mind not clear. He kept raising his head and taking a big gulp of wine.

The smell of smoke and alcohol on his body was strong, obviously someone who had been drinking and smoking for years.

He swayed and walked to the lobby, pushing through the crowd. He searched for a long time before he saw the three people sitting in the corner.

His eyes became lecherous, looking at the corner. Sure enough, they were beautiful women. He hadn’t seen women like this for a long time.

He took a step forward and walked towards them.
