She was stunned.
She...as the bride-to-be, had she been abandoned?
The media naturally picked up on this and surged forward again, trying to rush in, perhaps to capture something.
Shang Muxue forcefully composed her expression, took a deep breath, put on a smile to deal with the media, indicating that nothing had happened.
Shang Meng and the others also tried to control their emotions.
Old Master Gu moved his lips without getting up and said to Gu Chengde beside him, "What on earth does he want to do?"
"I donât know..."
"You find a way to keep an eye on that woman, donât let her mess up todayâs event."
The Gu Family didnât care about Gu Lianchengâs marriage, whether it was the unidentified young girl from four years ago or the current fine lady from the Shang family, as long as it didnât threaten the Gu Familyâs reputation, it was irrelevant to them.
Thus, he could get engaged to anyone today, but he couldnât let the Gu Family lose face in front of so much media.
Eleven was pulled by Gu Liancheng to a secluded corner, his face serious as it hadnât been in a long while, "Didnât you say you werenât coming?"
"So I changed my mind, is that not allowed? Canât I come?"
"Itâs not that you canât come...but why are you here?"
"Isnât it obvious? To attend your engagement ceremony, whatâs up with that dark face, not happy to see me? Is the ex-wife so pitiful that she canât even attend her ex-husbandâs engagement party? Canât I come just to eat..."
Gu Liancheng was so frustrated by her words that he jabbed her forehead with his finger, "What do you want to eat that I canât buy for you? You want peaches from the celestial realm, and Iâll find a way to get them for you."
Eleven, of course, knew he didnât really mean to climb to the celestial realm to pick peaches, it was just a metaphor that he would fulfill her every wish.
"People are here to congratulate you on your engagement..." Eleven puffed out her cheeks, "Wishing you a century of perfect unityââ"
Her mouth was covered by his hand, "You just enjoy making fun of me!"
He had no way to deal with her.
"There will be a lot of people later, and I wonât be able to stay by your side, so go find Ye Fei. She and Jiujiu Mengmeng are already here. They must be somewhere by now, stick with them, and Iâll be more at ease."
"Donât worry, they wonât eat me, will they? You just focus on your own business."
Eleven had nothing else to say and was about to leave when Gu Liancheng called out to her, "Donât you have any other words for me?"
"Like what?"
"Forget it, never mind, go ahead, but keep in touch, and donât turn off your phone."
The venue was crowded, and there were many children. Eleven, who had been blacklisted for a while, found it not so easy to find her two treasures. She hadnât found them yet, and the buffet was almost over when they started moving to the villa for the engagement ceremony.
There were many coaches and expensive stretch limousines.
Eleven was wondering which group to follow when someone patted her on the shoulder.
"Are you Miss Shang Qianxun?"
"Yes." She turned to see a respectfully dressed middle-aged man in a suit.
"I am the hotelâs transfer manager. Miss Shang Qianxun, as the sister of Miss Shang, the bride-to-be, the family and friendsâ cars are over there. Please come with me."
At that moment, Eleven didnât think much of it and followed him.
"Could Eleven be lost again?" Cute mumbled, "The blacklist has already been lifted, why hasnât she called me?"
