Cai Yiren was not to be outdone and promptly invited, “Rushuang, come up here. Sihua, you too. And Miss Du. You’re all welcome to come and share in the joy of Zhizhi and me.”
Fang Rushuang hesitated for a moment, but Du Sui immediately straightened her back and stood up, pulling her friend along with her. Left with no choice, Rushuang also got up and followed them to the stage, where she deliberately positioned herself opposite Huang Mi. Yu Sihua, on the other hand, because she was heavily pregnant, shook her head and did not join them.
Qin Weijian and his wife Kong Jie had been invited to the stage when the cake was first brought out, creating a crowded scene like a group photo shoot.
Below the stage, the only one not invited was Xiang Yirou.
However, in terms of status, Director Zhao and Huang Mi were indeed above her; she was just a popular young actress, while the other two were award winners. Xue Feifei was invited simply because she was part of their circle. Xiang Yirou frequently swaggered around, but in the wealthy circles, she was still the disdained “actress,” merely popular, not daring to anger anyone. Plus, Qin Zhiyou was no longer supporting her. She had no outlet for her grievances.
All she felt was the questioning glances of some people and the looks from the reporters that came her way. She could only sit up straighter, pretending to be unconcerned and smiling.
“Come on, everyone look at the camera.”
The photographer called out, and the people on the stage quickly found their places. Qin Zhiyou still firmly held the most central position, with Lu Weixi by his side. Then came Qin Weijian and Kong Jie, and Qin Zhigu, with Xue Feifei on the edge. Standing in the center of the back row were Director Zhao, Huang Mi, and He Weiyou. Yu Sixing stood behind Xue Feifei. On the other side were the Qin Family’s third branch and the Bai Family, along with Fang Rushuang and Du Sui. The separation was crystal clear.
They cut the cake for a while, and waiters handed out a small piece to each guest. Since Qin Zhiyou and the others had stirred up such a fuss, they casually stepped down from the stage after taking their cake. Then Qin Zhiyou called over Secretary Wang to communicate with the reporters in advance. Some photos that should not be published, and news that would reflect poorly on Lu Weixi, should not be circulated. And for the other guests, posting on Weibo or friends’ circles was fine, just preferably without casually sharing anything related to Lu Weixi.
On Xue Feifei’s side, after cutting the cake and taking photos, she hurriedly prepared to step down. And perhaps because there were many people during the photo-taking and attention was divided, she felt Yu Sixing behind her trying hard to squeeze forward. Even though the arm that touched her withdrew, his heat and breath still spilled onto her back because of the close distance, causing her some discomfort.
During the cake cutting, Yu Sixing, being tall, reached out from behind her and followed with a slice from above her. But when she turned around after the cake was cut, Yu Sixing was the first to leave, decisively and without glancing back at her.
After that, the formal meal began. Of course, since a stage had been set up during the banquet, there were performance programs. Originally, according to custom, Qin Zhizha and Cai Yiren would have to go from table to table toasting the guests. But clearly, the two protagonists were disoriented by the previous commotion caused by Qin Zhiyou’s group. If they continued, Cai Yiren’s pregnancy might be jeopardized.
Director Zhao and the others had a flight the next afternoon; they had to pack and organize tonight, and some had schedules the next morning, so they couldn’t stay too long and began to say their goodbyes. Before leaving, Xue Feifei first bid farewell to Lu Weixi, then turned to look in Yu Sixing’s direction—
