The three of them looked at the man who greeted Wu Yiyao at the same time.
The man looked humble and polite. Although he wasn’t the most outstanding-looking, he was good-looking.
He walked up to the three of them and looked at Chu Luo. “This is CEO Li’s girlfriend, Chu Luo, right?”
Chu Luo only nodded at him indifferently.
The man didn’t get angry. He smiled and turned to look at Tan Junhua. “This is?”
“Hello, I’m Little Yao’s boyfriend, Tan Junhua.”
Tan Junhua was actually a little similar to Wu Yiyao. Both of them had an elegant aura. If one didn’t know their relationship, they would think that the two of them were really a good match.
The man’s expression only paused for a moment, but he still smiled modestly. He introduced himself to Chu Luo and Tan Junhua. “Hello, I’m Little Yao’s senior brother, Shang Yu. Welcome to my older brother’s wedding.”
At this moment, the other businessmen who had surrounded Li Yan and Professor Wu turned to them.
Shang Yu introduced immediately, “This is my father, Shang Lihai. This is my mother, Zhang Yuexiang. These two are my cousin, Shang Qiang, and my cousin-in-law, Zhao Ling.”
Zhang Yuexiang smiled amiably and said, “This must be Miss Chu. You’re indeed outstanding in all aspects. Not only are you beautiful, but I heard that you’re also an influential figure at Imperial University.”
Chu Luo nodded at her.
Zhang Yuexiang smiled at Wu Yiyao. “This must be the Miss Wu that Xiao Yu often mentioned.”
“Yes, Auntie.”
“Since you and Xiao Yu know each other from overseas, don’t be so formal at our house. Miss Chu too. You guys can play as you please.”
“Okay, Auntie.”
In the end, Zhang Yuexiang looked at Tan Junhua but didn’t ask who he was. She only nodded at him.
Then, they walked into the door under the lead of Shang Lihai, his wife, and Shang Yu.
Most of the guests had already arrived.
They passed through the red carpet in the front yard and arrived at the villa.
The villa was brightly lit and bustling. Women in all kinds of evening gowns walked around the living room with men in suits.
Everyone chatted in groups. The Qin family and the Duanmu family were greeted by the other masters of the Shang family.
When they walked into the living room, the conversation suddenly stopped.
Everyone looked at Li Yan and the others who walked in.
The smile on Shang Lihai’s face became even more brilliant.
He tilted his head and said to Li Yan, “CEO Li, the Duanmu family is over there.”
After saying that, he deliberately pointed in a certain direction.
Today, those from the Duanmu family who came were Eldest Master Duanmu, and the cousins Duanmu Rui and Duanmu Zhixuan.
The people from the Qin family were Qin Xin, Qin Meng, and three other young men. Those three young men were obviously the Qin family’s illegitimate children.
At this moment, Duanmu Zhixuan, who was wearing an off-shoulder evening gown, strode over in her high heels.
The sound of high heels clicking could be heard in the quiet hall.
After she arrived in front of them, she called out intimately, “Chu Luo, you’re here too.”
This tone seemed to indicate she was chummy with Chu Luo.
Chu Luo pursed her lips and nodded at her indifferently.
Duanmu Zhixuan didn’t seem to feel her coldness. She continued to smile and said, “Let’s hang out together later. I can introduce you to my peers.”
The person standing at the side thought: ‘Indeed, Master Li is close to the Duanmu family. Even Chu Luo has such a good relationship with the Miss of the Duanmu family.’
Chu Luo looked at Duanmu Zhixuan, curled her lips, and said straightforwardly, “No need. I don’t like being with unfamiliar people.”
She then hooked arms with Wu Yiyao. “I’ll just go with Sister Wu.”
Duanmu Zhixuan didn’t expect Chu Luo to embarrass her in front of so many people. A trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes, but she still looked at Wu Yiyao with a smile. “Miss Wu, we can hang out together later.”
Wu Yiyao smiled gently and replied, “I’ll go with Little Chu wherever she goes.”
When the people standing at the side heard Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao’s answers, they seemed to have smelled something and were all waiting to watch a good show.
Duanmu Zhixuan was furious. Just as she didn’t know how to end the show, Zhang Yuexiang smiled and said, “You’re all youngsters. When the youngsters gather, they’ll be able to play.”
“Second Aunt is right.”
At this moment, another young woman walked over. The young woman was wearing a champagne-colored evening gown with a fishtail skirt that swayed as she walked. After walking over, she said to Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao,
“Hello, I’m Shang Yun. After my cousin and sister-in-law’s wedding banquet is over, our family has specially prepared a party place for us youngsters. Let’s go play together.”
Shang Yun had just finished introducing herself when someone came in and said to Shang Lihai, “Sir, the wedding is about to start.”
Shang Lihai quickly said to everyone, “Dear guests, my son’s wedding will be held in the backyard today. It’s about time. Please follow me to the backyard.”
He even made a gesture of invitation to Li Yan. “CEO Li, please.”
Everyone walked towards the backyard.
The backyard of the Shang residence occupied more than ten acres. At this moment, it was beautifully decorated.
As the wedding banquet was held at night, the Shang family had specially installed a few large searchlights around. There were also many streetlights and colorful lights elsewhere.
There were fresh flowers and balloon arches everywhere. In the middle of the garden, a wedding platform had been built. Below the wedding platform on both sides were more than a hundred tables.
The Shang family had even specially invited many etiquette companies to help entertain the guests.
The Shang family members brought everyone to the arranged tables and sat them down.
When Chu Luo and Li Yan were arranged to sit with the Duanmu family, Chu Luo wasn’t surprised at all.
However, the Qin family wasn’t easy to fool. When they saw where everyone was sitting, one of the Qin family’s illegitimate children actually came over to sit.
There were eight people sitting at a table. Five of them were already sitting here, and there were three more seats. The Shang family had originally planned to leave the seats to other important guests.
No one expected someone from the Qin family to suddenly sit over.
The Qin family member looked at the Shang family person standing there and the people from the Duanmu family, who didn’t look very friendly. He smiled and asked the Shang family tactfully, “Mr. Shang, Chu Luo and I are considered classmates. Do you mind if I talk to her about Imperial University?”
Since the man had said so, the Shang family person felt embarrassed to even tactfully invite him away. He quietly glanced at the cold Li Yan sitting there. Seeing that he wasn’t angry, he could only say, “I don’t mind.”
The man looked at Chu Luo and didn’t appear over-enthusiastic. He only introduced himself politely, “Hello, Junior Chu. I graduated from Imperial University in XX year. My name is Qin Shi’an, and I studied Mechanical Engineering.
“Previously, everyone in the mechanical engineering industry heard about your robot competition with that overseas student. We even specially watched your competition video. You’re really amazing.”
After saying that, he even gave Chu Luo a thumbs up.
Chu Luo was a little surprised when Qin Shi’an introduced himself. A professor from the Mechanical Engineering Department seemed to have mentioned him to her before. He had said that this person was quite good at robot production.
Qin Shi’an paid attention to Chu Luo’s expression at all times. Seeing that she didn’t show any impatience, he had an idea and was about to continue. At this moment, Eldest Master Duanmu suddenly asked Li Yan, “Li Yan, Old Master has been feeling very stuffy in his chest these past two days. He doesn’t look well. If you have time, go and talk to him.”
Duanmu Rui immediately replied, “Li Yan, don’t you know a miracle doctor? Why don’t you invite the miracle doctor to our house to check on Grandfather tomorrow?”
Duanmu Zhixuan chimed in, “That’s right. Grandfather has been complaining about feeling unwell after taking the medicine prescribed by other doctors these past two days. I was so worried.”
When Li Yan heard the three of them, his expression was still cold. “We’re here to attend the Shang family’s wedding banquet today.”
“Alright, I’ll call you tomorrow.”
Although the Duanmu family was also treated coldly, Li Yan didn’t reject them explicitly. It seemed like the Duanmu family was still closer to Li Yan.
At this moment, Duanmu Rui and Qin Shi’an stared at each other for two seconds.
There was a deep meaning in their eyes.
Qin Shi’an suddenly looked surprised. “So CEO Li knows a miracle doctor? My grandfather hasn’t been in good health recently. Can you introduce the miracle doctor to us, CEO Li? As long as they can cure my grandfather’s illness, our Qin family can pay any price.”
Duanmu Zhixuan mocked straightforwardly, “Do you have any weight in your words in the Qin family? Any price? Can any tom, dick and harry open such an empty cheque?”
Duanmu Zhixuan’s words were obviously mocking Qin Shi’an. She was mocking him for being an illegitimate child of the Qin family and that he had no right to speak.
When Qin Shi’an heard this, he only lowered his eyes. Just as Duanmu Zhixuan thought that his expression would change, he said with a sad expression, “As a junior, I naturally want my elders to be healthy and live a long life..”
