“Grandpa asked me to come up and escort you.” Lu Si explained his actions with a blank expression.
The makeup artist beside them immediately cast an envious look at Shen Yuan.
That was the famous Master Si!
Not only was he handsome and wealthy, but most importantly, he was so gentle and considerate to his fiancee.
Shen Yuan being engaged to such a man could be considered a blessing accumulated over several lifetimes!
“Well then, I won’t disturb you, Madam, talking to Master Si. I’ll go back to the dressing room to organize my belongings. 1’11 be ready to touch up your makeup at any time.” The makeup artist said, her eyes full of admiration.
“Alright, you go ahead.” Shen Yuan also dismissed her secretary and walked into the elevator, intimately taking Lu Si’s wrist.
Once the elevator doors closed, leaving only the two of them in the narrow, quiet space.
Lu Si pulled his hand back, creating some distance. “Shen Yuan, do you know what the biggest mistake you’ve made is?”
Shen Yuan looked at him disdainfully, mocking in a triumphant tone, “I haven’t done anything wrong. In fact, everything is developing just as 1 expected. You will soon become my legitimate fiance, and Mei Shu will be out.”
Lu Si didn’t get angry but smiled sarcastically. “Even if it’s a marriage that can never bring happiness?”
“What does happiness matter?” Shen Yuan suppressed the bitterness in her heart, maintaining her arrogant posture. “At least, 1 can make the Shen family forever rely on the Lu family. The Shen family will have an immeasurable future in my hands.”
“Then 1 wish you can truly get what you want.” Lu Si had no intention of saying more to this woman who only pursued her interests. As soon as the elevator doors opened, he eagerly walked out, leaving Shen Yuan alone, looking down in loneliness.
“Lu Si, you will never know that, in fact, I really like you sincerely.”
This confession ultimately turned into a sigh, buried under the flattering words of the guests.
Lu Ting, seeing Shen Yuan, waved happily, bringing her to his side. He held her hand, introducing her to everyone, “This is my future daughter-in-law. She’s currently the president of the Shen family! In the future, make sure to take care of her and not let anyone bully her!”
“Of course, Mrs. Lu is young and beautiful, a perfect match with Master Si!” The others echoed, hearing Lu Ting defend Shen Yuan.
“Yes, I’ve said it before. Mrs. Lu and Master Si are a match made in heaven. Not just anyone can ruin that.” Zhou Liang raised his glass, considering himself as the father-in-law of Lu Yan due to his daughter Zhou Li’s relationship with Lu Yan.
Now, by saying these words, he was intentionally mocking Mei Shu.
He still remembered Mei Shu’s arrogance at their housewarming party, relying on Master Si’s support. Now that she had become the target of everyone, he couldn’t miss the opportunity to add to her misery.
“Mr. Zhou, long time no see.” A deep and pleasant male voice sounded from behind.
Zhou Liang inexplicably shivered, feeling a bit chilly on his back.
He quickly turned around, only to meet Lu Si’s gloomy eyes, and he awkwardly smiled. “Master Si, it’s been a long time. My daughter LiLi often goes to the Lu family to play with Yan. I hope she hasn’t caused you any trouble.”
“She didn’t cause me any trouble, but some people might get into trouble.” In front of Lu Ting, Lu Si didn’t explicitly point it out, but he had already marked a score against Zhou Liang in his heart.
Shen Yuan understood that he was trying to help Mei Shu get revenge.
He wouldn’t spare even those who were sarcastic behind Mei Shu’s back. It showed how much Lu Si genuinely cared for Mei Shu.
Despite Shen Yuan’s clear understanding, a hint of bitterness still arose in her heart.
She didn’t want to continue listening to how Lu Si was openly defending another woman in front of her. So, she proactively changed the subject, “I often hear my elder brother Lu Li and his wife mention LiLi. 1 haven’t met her yet. 1 wonder if she’s here today?”
“She’s here, she’s here. Let me call her over for you!” Zhou Liang promptly instructed his assistant to bring Zhou Li over.
Besides Shen Yuan herself, the person most delighted at today’s engagement banquet was undoubtedly Zhou Li!
Upon hearing that Shen Yuan wanted to see her, Zhou Li quickly washed her hands and came out of the restroom. She walked toward them gracefully, smiling sweetly, “Hello, Aunt.”
Shen Yuan immediately praised, “Lili is indeed as gentle and generous as Sister-in-law says. As expected of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. Ah Yan is very lucky.”
“Thank you, Aunt! I really like you!” Zhou LiLi eagerly moved closer to Shen Yuan, rattling off compliments on her makeup.
“Aunt, 1 really love the shade of lipstick you’re wearing today. It complements your fair complexion! And that diamond ring on your hand is so big and shiny. It must be the engagement ring Master Si gave you, right?”
Shen Yuan’s smile became a bit stiff, and she forced a smile, shaking her head. “No, this is the engagement congratulatory gift from Grandpa Lu. I really like this gift..”
