Chapter 207: Chapter 207: Chu Family Relatives Did Not Attend the Engagement Banquet
Mi Yi looked at Gao Yang with a mix of sympathy and concern, “Stop being so sad. It’s just a man. Sister has a lot of male models, the ruffian type, the quiet type, the singing and dancing type; you can choose any one you want!”
Gao Yang looked at the photo on her phone and said, “When I first started dating him, I genuinely couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe I became his girlfriend. To me, he was someone exceptional as if born under a lucky star.
After we became a couple, he treated me really well… but I was too insecure, feeling unworthy of him. Instead of waiting to be dumped later, I decided to break up first. But he agreed so quickly, and when we broke up, he didn’t even try to hold on to me…”
“If I had known that he would eventually marry a secretary from a different social class, I wouldn’t have let go. Maybe if I hadn’t suggested breaking up, we could have had a good outcome now.”
Mi Yi said to Gao Yang, “Please, he’s just a man! Do you really need to drown yourself in alcohol over him?”
“Mi Yi, weren’t you sad when Fu Yixian got married?”
Mi Yi paused, took a deep breath, “Gao Yang, stop drinking, will you? Drinking so much is harmful to your health.”
Gao Yang clenched the glass in her hand and downed another gulp, “If today he were getting engaged to a well-matched lady of means, or even Zhou Jiameng, who’s been following him since high school, I wouldn’t be so heartbroken. Then I’d console myself that my background wasn’t sufficient, my insecurity in choosing to let go wasn’t wrong. But… it just has to be a secretary from an ordinary family. Why didn’t I hold on back then?”
Gao Yang drank another cup of wine, “His secretary isn’t even half as pretty as me.”
Mi Yi looked at the video that Gao Yang had opened and heard the voice of Gu Hanchen cheering with the numbers, “You know Gu Hanchen?”
“Yeah, Gu Hanchen pursued me back in high school…” said Gao Yang.
Mi Yi then looked at the video, where Yuan Xi appeared, “Yuan Xi is there too?”
Gao Yang said, “Yuan Xi is my first love’s younger sister.”
Mi Yi, seeing that Gao Yang, who had already had a lot to drink, was going to continue, said, “Please, no more drinking.”
Gao Yang threw herself into Mi Yi’s arms, crying bitterly, “Mi Yi, I’m really sad, so sad. I want to go see his engagement banquet. Can you take me to Chu’s Mansion to take a look from the outside?”

Mi Yi couldn’t let Gao Yang, who was already drunk, continue drinking. She supported Gao Yang and said, “Fine, as long as you stop drinking, I’ll take you there.”

As night fell, the lights of Chu’s Mansion still shone brightly.
Yuan Xi was in her room, exchanging dresses with Liang Suisui.
After Yuan Xi had changed into her dress, she went downstairs to help Yang Ying welcome the guests who had arrived.
Seeing Shi Zhen and Huo Ting enter from outside, Yuan Xi approached and called out, “Ms. Shi, Dad.”
Yang Ying also smiled and shook hands with Shi Zhen, “In-laws.”
Shi Zhen handed over a red envelope, “Congratulations.”
Yang Ying, looking at the red envelope Shi Zhen had handed her, laughed lightly, “Your presence is gift enough; there’s no need for more.”
Shi Zhen gave the red envelope to Cheng Yue standing next to Yang Ying, “This is my welcome gift to Sister-in-law Xiao Xi.”
Cheng Yue took it with both hands, “Thank you, President Huo. Thanks, Ms. Shi.”
By six-thirty, most of the guests had arrived, and so the banquet began.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan sat at the main table, where the highest seats were occupied by the grandparents from the Yang Family and Uncle Yang, followed by Cheng Yue’s parents.
Yuan Xi sat next to Cheng Yue’s parents, assisting the busy Yang Ying and Chu Qing in taking care of them.
Gu Hanchen was seated at the next table, next to him were Gu Nuan and Liang Suisui, “Strange, why hasn’t any of the Chu Family relatives come today? It’s one thing not to see them at noon, but not even at night? It’s a bit odd.”
Gu Nuan replied, “Eat your food! Why so much chatter?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Grandparents, second uncle, and second aunt didn’t come to their own grandson’s engagement party. Isn’t that very strange?”
Liang Suisui said, “It’s better that they didn’t come. Have you forgotten at Mi Chen’s IPO celebration, how Old Madam Chu followed Chu Yan to make trouble?”
Gu Hanchen said, “That’s also true.”
While Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan were eating, a bodyguard hurriedly came to whisper in Huo Shiyuan’s ear.
Huo Shiyuan slightly furrowed his brows, “Please ask them to move further away.”
Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyuan and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Huo Shiyuan said, “The Chu Family elders want to come in, but the bodyguards stopped them at the entrance.”
Yuan Xi, remembering Old Madam Chu making trouble yesterday, thought it made sense to keep them out, otherwise who knew how today’s engagement party would end.
At the end of the party, Gu Hanchen grabbed Chu Lin, who had just finished toasting, “Come on, let’s drink! Suisui, pour Mr. Chu a glass of Moutai!”
Liang Suisui took a liquor glass, and Gu Hanchen said, “That glass won’t do, bring over a wine glass and fill it up!”
Liang Suisui said, “Isn’t that enough to kill someone?”
Gu Hanchen said, “It’s a joyous day, what are you talking about killing or not killing for, pour the drink. Don’t you want to get some revenge for Yuan Xi?”
Liang Suisui took the Moutai and filled up an entire wine glass with it, “Wishing Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu a long life together.”
Gu Hanchen took the brimming glass of liquor from Liang Suisui’s hand, “Chu Lin, you must drink this glass today.”
Gu Nuan tried to mediate from the side, “Hanchen, that’s enough, don’t make it hard for Xiao Lin.”
Gu Hanchen said, “He stole my girlfriend back in high school! And after getting her, he didn’t even cherish her; he must drink!”
Chu Lin explained, “Back then, I really didn’t know you were serious about Gao Yang.”
Gu Hanchen huffed, “Drink up!”
Chu Lin drank the liquor from the wine glass in one breath, the strong liquid hitting hard, sending a wave of intoxication to his head, making him so uncomfortable that he went outside to sober up.
Chu Lin could drink, but he generally didn’t drink this kind of strong alcohol, especially not Moutai. Even if he did, it would only be half a glass in a normal liquor glass at most.
Outside the walls of Chu’s Mansion.
Gao Yang looked at the exceedingly luxurious Chu’s Mansion, where the lit courtyard made it seem like daylight. The noble-born Chu family’s young master, Chu Lin, was leaning against a pillar smoking a cigarette, his smoking had a different air to it than ordinary people.
“Chu Lin, are you okay?”
When Chu Lin saw Cheng Yue coming over, he put out his cigarette, “When Gu Hanchen gets married, I certainly won’t let him off either.”
Cheng Yue said, “You might have to wait until the year of the monkey for that.”
Chu Lin gave a light laugh in response to Cheng Yue’s words.
This laugh, viewed by Gao Yang, felt like a dagger to the heart.
Mi Yi held the staggering Gao Yang, and they overheard a shrill, aged voice.
“I’m Chu Qing’s own mother; it’s my grandson’s engagement party and you bodyguards won’t let me in? That cheap Yuan Xi, ever since she came back, she’s been harming my precious grandson. If Yanyan were here, she definitely wouldn’t let this kind of low-class woman enter the Chu family’s door.”
“Grandma, Yuan Xi is really unfilial to treat us like this just because she can. She’s your granddaughter, and she doesn’t even let you attend her engagement party.”
Mi Yi heard the voices of the Chu Family members talking, frowning deeply. She hadn’t expected Yuan Xi was not only ungrateful but also so unfilial.
Mi Yi looked at Gao Yang, “Weren’t you worried about the low traffic on your account? Well, here comes some traffic: Mi Chen’s hundred-billion female chairman has her bodyguards block her very own grandmother, second uncle, and second aunt from her grandson’s engagement party. This scandal between Old Madam Chu and Yuan Xi will bring a lot of traffic, you better take good advantage of it.”
