Chapter 67 - Long Banquet (1/2)

Four days later:

Qian Meigui arrived home from classes when she decided to scroll through her Weibo. She laid on the bed, searching through hot topics when she stumbled upon the trend for the main male lead of the film A Dream of Roses. There were pictures of Song Sheng from his photoshoot with users commenting that he was a handsome, rising star.

She put down her phone, knowing that Song Sheng would get the attention. Why wouldn't he? After a moment, Qian Meigui picked up her phone again, curiously peaking more. Even though their relationship was complicated, she wanted to support him.

She kept scrolling when she came across a video of an interview. It was Song Sheng answering questions with his female co-star Yu Qingge. Song Sheng appeared to be somewhat reserved and blunt as he responded to each question.

But at the last question, the interviewer had asked him a personal question. At first, Song Sheng denied the question, but slowly his expression softened, his eyes smiled, his grin widened, and he said that he had a woman he was interested in courting.

Quickly, Qian Meigui looked through the comments from underneath. Some netizens suspected he was talking about Yu Qingge, but others denied it because of their lack of chemistry throughout the interview. Then the mystery girl became a hashtag to find out who she is. Qian Meigui's heart began to pound relentlessly.

She shut her phone off, holding it against her thundering chest. She took deep breaths to calm herself down. Could it be true? She questioned. She thought of him when they threw her a surprise party. He attempted to kiss her, but when she began to cry, he appeared to be pained. No. No. No. She denied any possibility.

But she was also surprised to see such a gentle expression coming from him in front of a camera. She decided to ignore it and prepare for the banquet.

When Song Ren saw the dress in Qian Meigui's hand, she grinned widely, dragging her by the hand into her bedroom, claiming to know how to complete her look. They both got ready with Song Jinyi, just as always when attending a special event. However, they also had to keep their eyes sharp, and their minds opened.

This banquet is the grandest of the year because it was the Long's who is hosting it. Long Group is one of the wealthiest families in China, and their wealth is ten times the amount of Sun Group, Song Corporation, and Song Entertainment combined. No doubt, the venue would be grand, abundant in food, and all exclusive people would attend.

”How are we getting there?” Song Jinyi asked Song Ren. ”I'm driving,” she responded. ”I told the men to meet us there.” Song Jinyi nodded, and they all continued to dress their best.

When they finished, Song Ren drove them to the most exclusive party of the year, and a long night awaited them.
