CapĂtulo 1615: Chapter 1569: The Arrival of Two Talented Women (Part 3)
Everyone dispersed, and with a glance, Chu Xianling locked onto Song Xiaodongâs silhouette and walked directly towards her.
Yang Yushi didnât have Chu Xianlingâs keen eyesight and hadnât spotted Song Xiaodong yet among the tables, but the moment Chu Xianling moved, she immediately followed.
As the pair took a step forward, people at the nearby tables became instantly excited, but when the two did not stop, their hopes dropped to the bottom.
Despite it being merely an opportunity to dine at the same table, many here were wealthy and influential, yet they felt a sense of gain and loss. This reaction could only be brought about by Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi; no other woman could cause such an effect.
The people at the least hopeful tables were thrilled as Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling approached, hoping they would stop and sit at one of their tables.
Zhou Peng excitedly said, âDo you think theyâll come to our table? There are just enough vacant seats here.â
âWhat a lovely dream youâre having! Theyâre definitely coming to our table,â Yao Mengfei immediately scoffed.
Wu Jiang chimed in, âExactly, youâre dreaming too much. Youâre not even from Beijing. They wonât sit at your table; thatâs pure daydreaming.â
These two had a run-in with Song Xiaodong during a card game earlier, leaving them annoyed, so they seized the chance to mock Song Xiaodongâs table now.
Having won against them, Song Xiaodong felt more confident, so he snorted, âYou canât be sure. Maybe they do want to sit with us.â
Yao Mengfei sneered, âYeah right, you wish! Do you even know who they are? Youâd be frightened if I told you!â
Wu Jiang shook his head disdainfully, âMengfei, why bother telling them? Even if you did, they wouldnât understand.â
At that moment, Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi reached Yao Mengfeiâs table, and everyone immediately shut up, eagerly watching Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling.
To them, as the two had reached here, there was no way they would sit elsewhere.
Everyone puffed up their chests with pride, their faces glowing with excitement.
Chapter 1571
But Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling didnât stop and walked past their table.
The last table left was Song Xiaodongâs.
âNo way! Are they really going to sit with those guys? Arenât they from some small place?â
âAbsolutely not. They must be looking to sit alone.â
âRight, that must be it. Given their status, sitting with anyone would be beneath them. Sitting alone suits them better.â
This comment resonated with the crowd. If they couldnât sit with themselves, theyâd prefer to see the two sit alone rather than with others from small towns like Song Xiaodong.
Then, Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling suddenly stopped, looking at Song Xiaodongâs table. Yang Yushi asked, âCan we sit here?â
The hall fell silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and it was eerie.
Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling stood quietly looking at Song Xiaodongâs group, without acknowledging Song Xiaodong distinctly.
They were clever; clearly, Song Xiaodong hadnât revealed his identity. They wouldnât expose him even if others did not recognize him and wouldnât act familiar with him.
Song Xiaodong felt a mix of amusement and awkwardness under such a bizarre atmosphere and lightly coughed, saying, âThere happen to be two vacant seats, so have a seat.â
âThank you,â Yang Yushi smiled faintly.
At this moment, Su Yao and the others snapped back to reality, hurriedly standing up because no one expected someone would actually join, so the space was cramped; they couldnât let these two beauties squeeze into such tight spaces.
Not only did they stand, but they also stepped back to leave⊠leaving Song Xiaodong sitting there all alone.
Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling exchanged a glance, smiling, and then sat down.
Song Xiaodong grimaced, finding the two annoying. If they wanted to keep his identity hidden, sitting at the table was alright, but why sit on either side of him?
Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling acted as if they didnât notice Song Xiaodongâs expression. Yang Yushi invited everyone, âSit down quickly; youâre making us uncomfortable by standing.â
Only then did Su Yao and the others sit, still tense and stiff, feeling unsure about their presence, happiness hitting unexpectedly, making them almost disbelieve it and ignore the odd seating arrangement.
Once they sat, the other people in the hall came back to themselves, each feeling difficult to describe.
