Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 594: Zhong Yi’s Engagement Banquet

Zhao Chang said with a smile, "Originally, I wanted you to marry me. Since you’re unwilling, then you’ll just be my nameless and unrecognized lover, at my beck and call. Remember, I’m not called ’fatso’; my name is Zhao Chang."

He placed an access card on Xiang Mingzhu’s body, "This is the access card to my villa in Imperial Capital. When I want to see you, you have to come and serve me."

He wanted to crush Xiang Mingzhu’s defiant spirit first.

"You..."

Xiang Mingzhu looked at him in disbelief, "My uncle won’t let you get away with this!"

"Your uncle?"

Zhao Chang sneered, "You think he doesn’t know about me taking you back to the Banshan Qiushui Villa Area? He agreed to give you to me in exchange for the Lu Family’s stable priority supply of herbal materials for the next ten years."

"Impossible, he’s my uncle. Even if our two families..."

Xiang Mingzhu remembered when the Xiang Family went bankrupt, the Lu Family turned a blind eye. She suddenly stopped speaking, knowing that both Lu Bannong and Lu Yingxue were cold and heartless.

Her biological mother, who was often abroad, didn’t even return home when the Xiang Family went bankrupt.

Her eyes suddenly dimmed.

Her complexion turned ashen.

Zhao Chang laughed in a mocking tone, "I’m leaving now. Don’t pretend not to hear when I call you. At the Lu Family and Zhong Family’s engagement party on the 8th, you will attend as my female companion. It’ll also give you a chance to see your Young Master Zhong."

"No!"

Xiang Mingzhu became agitated, "I don’t want to see him with you."

"Heh, that’s not for you to decide. If you don’t show up, I’ll send these videos to Young Master Zhong. Then he’ll see an even more disgraceful side of you."

Zhao Chang bent down to pat her cheek, "You better dress up like a pretty vase and don’t embarrass me."

Having said that, he strode out of the Xiang Family’s home.

Looking satisfied from his gait.

The landline of the Xiang Family’s villa suddenly rang. Xiang Mingzhu sat stiffly for a while before mechanically picking up the handset.

"Mingzhu, it’s me."

Lu Yingxue’s cool voice came from the other end, "I heard you entered the Banshan Qiushui Villa with a man. Congratulations. Is that man the same Li Songwen who has been involved with you? Oh, I almost forgot, he’s in jail now."

Xiang Mingzhu almost bit through her tongue, "Lu Yingxue, you’re still pretending! You hypocritical father and daughter, you used me in exchange for ten years of priority supply of herbal materials for the Lu Family, didn’t you?"

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yingxue paused for a moment before responding with realization, "So you found out, seems like Zhao Chang has succeeded. With the Xiang Family fallen to this state, marrying Zhao Chang isn’t too bad for you."

"If it’s not bad, why don’t you marry him?"

"Me?" Lu Yingxue laughed as if she had heard a great joke, "I’m going to marry Zhong Yi. Just today, I tried on the engagement dress. He looks good in anything he wears."

Xiang Mingzhu hysterically exclaimed, "Zhong Yi doesn’t love you! He has said so many sweet words to me!"

"Is that so? But we’ll be engaged and have children soon. No matter how much you fantasize, Zhong Yi will not give you a second glance. What do you have to be proud of now?"

Lu Yingxue sneered, "Stop fantasizing about Zhong Yi, or else I’ll give you a bigger lesson!"

She then hung up the call.

This call seemed like a one-sided victory for Lu Yingxue, avenging all of Xiang Mingzhu’s foolishness.

Xiang Mingzhu’s fingers clutched the handset tightly as her eyes filled with bloodshot rage, erupting with endless hatred.

"Ahh!"

She let out a hoarse scream!

Everyone was plotting against her, all wanting to push her into hell!

Zhao Chang!

Lu Yingxue!

Since they were forcing her, she would make them regret it!

Xiang Mingzhu dragged her weary limbs, slowly picking up the dirty clothes from the floor, putting them on one by one.

The engagement party!

If Lu Yingxue dared to invite her, she would ruin the engagement party regardless of the consequences!

...

One week later.

The engagement banquet of the Zhong Family and Lu Family from Imperial Capital was an unprecedented grand affair.

This engagement banquet directly booked a famous castle hotel in the Western Suburbs of Imperial Capital.

The castle was of European artistic period architecture, surrounded by a vast garden and flower galleries with intricate decorations.

Porticos, flower walls.

Winding and intriguing.

The parking lot was filled with luxury cars, and guests were guided by neatly dressed attendants through the long corridor, past the flower galleries and garden, to the main entrance of the banquet hall.

The ceiling of the banquet hall was extremely high.

Around the hall were fresh flowers transported by air, some still with glistening droplets, exuding a faint fragrance.

In the middle was a long red carpet leading to the emcee’s stage, which was decorated with blue enchantresses and white roses, looking clean and dreamlike.

Long tables were placed around, specially arranged with candle holders, fresh flowers, pastries, along with some fine wine and fruit juice.

There were also two tall champagne towers in the venue, with champagne flowing down from the top into the vessel, which circulated like a little fish pond.

Shimmering and glittering under the radiant lights.

Luxuriously opulent.

In a corner, there were some genuine leather sofas for guests to socialize and use.

Looking up in the banquet hall, you could see the dome at the top.

And from the second floor up, there were circular rooms all around, six floors in total. These rooms all had nameplates of guests, serving as their temporary restrooms.

If there were guests who had traveled from afar or those who were drunken, they could also stay overnight.

The Western Suburbs were still some distance from the city center, and the Zhong Family had been extremely thoughtful.

The engagement banquet was at seven o’clock in the evening.

The largest presidential suite on the top floor served as Lu Yingxue’s dressing and rest room, where makeup artists and hairstylists were bustling about, getting Lu Yingxue ready.

"Miss Lu, all this diamond jewelry has been brought here, perfectly matching your white mermaid dress. This white mermaid dress, adorned with light tulle and scattered diamonds representing the glimmering fish scales, is truly stunning! Worthy of being a classic design by Master Irina."

Lu Yingxue sat in front of the large vanity mirror, gently putting on a pair of diamond earrings and examining herself in the mirror.

Parted red lips spoke: "Master Irina’s classic design is naturally good."

Although she had Qiao Xi help choose the dress, she didn’t wear that goose-yellow gown.

Instead, she insisted on her original choice of the classic white mermaid dress. Wearing this kind of wedding gown-style design, everyone knew she was the protagonist tonight!

Qiao Xi’s choice of goose-yellow, who knew what her ulterior motive was!

"Miss Lu, let me put this necklace on you. This set of diamond jewelry was personally sent by Young Master Zhong, you’re so fortunate!"

Facing the makeup artist’s praise, Lu Yingxue smiled obligingly.

Who Zhong Yi truly cared about in his heart, she knew best.

But so what!

Tonight.

She deliberately chose the castle hotel in the suburbs because it was far from the city center, and many guests would choose to stay overnight.

She couldn’t let Zhong Yi leave by any means.

"Where is Zhong Yi?" Lu Yingxue asked softly.

An attendant in the room replied, "It seems Young Master Zhong has gone down to mingle."

Lu Yingxue smiled, "Then he probably has to drink quite a bit, have a pot of Hangover Soup prepared in the room for me. I’ll call him to have some later."

"Miss Lu, you’re truly thoughtful."

Thoughtful?

Not necessarily.

Lu Yingxue looked at herself in the mirror and slowly smiled.

Approaching seven o’clock.

Guests started arriving one after another, and the banquet hall was bustling with excitement.
