Capítulo 1618: Chapter 1572: Such Intimacy (Part 2)

In his heart he was suspicious, but he couldn’t ask directly. His attitude immediately changed, and he said to Song Xiaodong and the others: “Dear classmates of Lingling, you’ve come all the way from Tiannan to attend our wedding. You really are true friends. I’m very busy today, so if my hospitality is lacking in any way, please don’t take offense. After the wedding, you must stay for a couple more days, and I’ll make sure to properly make it up to you.”

Zhou Peng and the others initially had some grievances against Liu Yang. However, after Liu Yang’s words, their dissatisfaction immediately vanished, and they quickly exchanged a few polite words.

After Liu Yang and Qian Lingling finished their toast and headed towards Chen Yong’s table, Liu Yang quietly asked, “Who’s that sitting between Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling?”

“Song Xiaodong, why?” Qian Lingling wasn’t as sensitive, so she didn’t notice anything unusual.

“Song Xiaodong…” Liu Yang felt the name sounded familiar, but for a moment, he couldn’t recall where he’d heard it before.

It wasn’t really his fault. Although he was part of a prominent family, young people like him were more focused on their peers from similar backgrounds, while Song Xiaodong was already the head of a family – not someone they could easily cross paths with.

Chapter 1573

Lin Bing, Yao Mengfei, and Wu Jiang were so close to Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling that naturally, they had to come over for a toast.

But Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling merely raised their glasses in a gesture without drinking.

Meanwhile, Lin Bing, Yao Mengfei, and Wu Jiang were not at all displeased and seemed rather pleased with themselves.

This allowed Su Yao and Zhou Peng to once again witness the status of Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling. These young lords, who thought highly of themselves, were clearly not on the same level as these two beauties.

After making their toast to Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi, Lin Bing and the others scurried over to Chen Yong for a toast.

Chen Yong was somewhat familiar with them, so the three didn’t leave immediately.

“Young Master Chen, it’s really annoying that Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling are sitting with those hillbillies. We can’t even get a word in with them. You should step in and give those hillbillies a scare.”

Chen Yong chuckled, “No problem, I’ll go over and toast them in a bit.”

Yao Mengfei chimed in, “Young Master Chen, those people really need a beating. Damn it, they cheated and scammed us while we were playing cards just now.”

Chen Yong laughed, “Really? Did a few hillbillies really manage to scam you guys?”

Yao Mengfei recounted the card game incident, “What do you call that if not cheating? Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?”

Chen Yong narrowed his eyes, “It seems like you’ve encountered a pro. But to toy with us in the Beijing circle, that’s really not knowing their place. I really want to see who this so-called expert is.”

Seeing that Chen Yong was going to step in, Lin Bing and the others were overjoyed. If Chen Yong confirmed the cheating, they wouldn’t have to pay and wouldn’t earn a bad reputation for not paying up.

A moment later, Chen Yong, holding a wine glass, walked over with a few others.

Zhou Peng and the others were rather excited, having witnessed Chen Yong’s vaunted reputation firsthand. Even if they knew Chen Yong wasn’t there to toast them, seeing such a legendary figure up close was a bragging point for the future.

Under the table, Yang Yushi lightly kicked Song Xiaodong, smiling brightly as she said, “Chen Yong’s coming to toast.” It was implied that any exposure wouldn’t be their fault.

Song Xiaodong shook his head, giving Yang Yushi a sidelong glance. If it weren’t for them sitting there, why else would Chen Yong come over to toast this table? “Yushi, Xianling, I haven’t seen you two in ages. Finally meeting you, yet you don’t join me for a drink. This…” Chen Yong said as he walked over. Here, who else dared to speak to Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling like this? Who had the right to speak to them at all?

Even though Chen Yong was one of the Five Young Masters, compared to the Three Great Talented Ladies, his reputation paled in comparison. The accomplishments of these Three Great Talented Ladies were not something they could compete with.

Upon reaching the table, Chen Yong noticed that Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi were sitting on either side of a man, and he frowned. Who was so audacious to sit between them? How oblivious could they be?

Turning around to see who it was, he was suddenly confronted with a face that he could never forget.

“You…” Chen Yong’s face turned extremely sour, speechless in the moment.

Song Xiaodong was his enemy, having crippled his True Qi, which made Chen Yong resent him deeply.

Yet he now realized that against Song Xiaodong, he was powerless. Song was the head of a household, now backed by several prominent Beijing families, with a status as exalted as his own family’s patriarch.

Now he understood why Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi were sitting here – with such a family head present, of course, Yang Yushi and Chu Xianling would accompany him.

Seeing Chen Yong’s expression, Yang Yushi found it all quite amusing, and glancing at Song Xiaodong, she smiled, “Young Master Chen, long time no see. We’re just looking for some peace and quiet, chatting with Lingling’s classmates for a bit. Let’s catch up some other time.”
