Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Beauty and the Beast

Fu Yu and Qi Yunqian’s complexions abruptly changed, and as they looked up sharply, they saw Song Shiwei standing not far from them, her hands crossed over her chest, her peach-blossom eyes filled with indifference.

Qi Yunqian’s body stiffened as he looked at Song Shiwei. When his eyes met hers, which carried a hint of mockery, he felt an icy chill throughout his body.

She had heard everything Fu Yu had just said.

Fu Yu hadn’t expected Song Shiwei to come looking for her, and as she turned to face her and was about to speak, her sharp eyes caught sight of the kiss mark, concealed with foundation yet faintly visible, on her neck.

Fu Yu felt a surge of intense jealousy within her. Her hands by her side clenched into fists, and her sharp fingernails pierced her tender palm, bringing a tinge of pain.

It made her realize all the more clearly.

Her Yunqian brother was defiled!

How could he!

Suppressing the jealousy, anger, and the raging desire to possess within her, Fu Yu forced a smile and was just about to speak.

Qi Yunqian, who was standing by her side, rushed towards Song Shiwei in haste. His usually calm and steady voice took on a hint of urgency, reaching out to touch Song Shiwei, "Shiwei, don’t be angry just yet, I can..."

Song Shiwei didn’t give him a chance to touch her, stepping back and looking at him with arms crossed and a smile that contained a trace of sadness, "You don’t need to explain, Qi Yunqian."

She took two steps back and looked deeply at him, exhaustion in her eyes, "We’re done."

She knew that her imprisonment was inextricably linked to Qi Yunqian and Fu Yu.

Yet, she had never imagined that Qi Yunqian would send her to prison for such a ludicrous reason.

If he didn’t want her to cling on, why couldn’t he just make things clear?

Why did he have to be ambiguous and give her hope at the time?

Having said that, Song Shiwei decisively turned around to leave, only to have her wrist tightly seized by a menacing and terrifying Qi Yunqian.

Right after, Song Shiwei felt her body being lifted off the ground as Qi Yunqian hoisted her over his shoulder and strode toward the upstairs lounge.

Song Shiwei struggled desperately, but the disparity in strength between men and women left her unable to break free, "Qi Yunqian! Let me go!"

"I won’t."

The two of them left directly, paying no attention to Fu Yu standing in the corner.

Fury churned within Fu Yu’s heart, almost causing her to scream out loud, and she cursed Song Shiwei with the most venomous words in the world.

Why wouldn’t Song Shiwei just die?

If she were dead, everything would go back to normal! Yunqian brother would marry her!

Why does she have to live!

"Sister Yu, are you alright?" A soft voice came from behind her.

Fu Yu turned her head, the hateful ferocity still evident on her face, and when she saw Xia Ran standing behind her, she lacked her usual warmth, merely replying indifferently after composing her expression, "Oh, it’s you."

Xia Ran had arrived in this corner before Fu Yu and Qi Yunqian because the restroom was just around the corner.

Therefore, she heard every word of Fu Yu and Qi Yunqian’s conversation.

However, she did not expose them, and instead "inadvertently" sighed, "The Qi family’s young master and his fiancée seem to really care for each other. I heard that today’s engagement banquet even invited quite a few media outlets to broadcast it live."

Fu Yu, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, turning her head to give Xia Ran a scrutinizing look, "Is that true? There are quite a few media here for the live broadcast? Where did you get this information?"

Xia Ran’s eyes were soft, yet they carried a touch of pity as she looked at Fu Yu, "Of course, Master Qi personally posted it on his social circle. You... didn’t see it?"

Fu Yu stiffened, struck by a bolt from the blue, her face showing embarrassment.

She hadn’t seen it.

This meant Qi Yunqian had blocked her! All for that slut Song Shiwei!

But it didn’t matter.

Fu Yu took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a malicious glint.

She would use this information gap to ensure that today, Song Shiwei would be utterly disgraced!

Fu Yu didn’t speak to Xia Ran, turning around and walking away with brisk steps. She needed to get everything ready before the wedding banquet began.

Once she had left, the gentle smile on Xia Ran’s face vanished in an instant, her lips curving into a mocking smile as she let out a cold laugh, "Such an idiot."

Easily provoked into a hotheaded state, truly mindless.

But, it was all thanks to Fu Yu’s lack of brains.

It was just right for her to take advantage of the situation and ruin Shen Yanhe completely.

When the time came, it would be Fu Yu who acted, not her. She could stand cleanly in front of Fu Yanhe.

Xia Ran took out a lipstick from her small purse and gently applied it to her lips, her eyes gleaming with a determined light.

Fu Yanhe was hers.

She absolutely wouldn’t allow anyone else to lay a finger on him!

The engagement banquet of the young master of the Qi family had already spread throughout Haicheng. Many media outlets had been invited and arrived early to stake out the live streaming spots, while some took advantage of the chaos to sneak in.

After all, this was the engagement banquet of one of Haicheng’s wealthy families, the renowned Qi Group, and Qi Yunqian, who was known as the golden bachelor, was of great interest to everyone.

The live broadcast cameras were set up, and many internet users who loved to follow the excitement had already flooded into the live streaming room. They watched the screen showcasing the stunningly beautiful and nearly dreamlike decorations, with bullet comments flying across the screen incessantly.

-Damn, so many luxury cars, I’m so jealous.

-Damn, I just saw it, those ornaments are inlaid with huge diamonds! And they look like real ones! The Qi family is freaking rich! I’m jealous.

-Ladies and gentlemen, is it I who has arrived late?

-Oh my, I think I just saw my fave’s little brother, does he also have a hidden wealthy background?

-Am I the only one curious about who the woman marrying Mr. Qi is?

...

By the time the Fu Family’s car arrived outside the Huangjin Hotel, the surroundings were already filled with various luxury cars.

Once the car stopped, Shen Yanhe was the first to open the door and step out with her long legs, followed closely by Fu Yanhe.

"I’ll push you," Shen Yanhe said as she walked to the back of Fu Yanhe’s wheelchair. Without waiting for his rejection, she reached out and grabbed the wheelchair’s handles, pushing him inside.

Fu Yanhe had intended to create a scene of affection with her in public, so he did not refuse and allowed her to push him slowly from behind.

As soon as Shen Yanhe and Fu Yanhe appeared, the pair—one extremely ugly and the other extremely beautiful—immediately drew the attention of the guests at the entrance and the netizens online.

-Damn! Slim waist, full bust, long legs! What a beauty! Why is this beauty with such an ugly guy? It’s like a flower stuck in cow dung!

-To the person above, watch your mouth, this man is the elder young master of the Fu Family, Young Master Fu, Fu Yanhe, be careful he doesn’t come after you.

-Hiss! I vaguely heard about Fu Yanhe getting married before, I thought it was fake, but he’s really going through with it... Which family’s daughter is this beauty from?

Fu Yu, of course, saw those livestreams opened by the anchors as she kept an eye on the online news. She casually clicked into one and saw netizens praising Shen Yanhe.

She pursed her lips, sending out a barrage of bullet comments, clearly annoyed.

-Ha! What daughter of a wealthy family? She’s nothing but a country bumpkin who’s latched onto a rich family!

After leaving her comment, regardless of the netizens who were stirring up questions about its truth, she immediately exited the broadcast.

On the other side.

The guests who were supposed to go inside were instead turning their attention to greet Fu Yanhe, yet they still kept their distance, daring not to get too close.

Everyone knew that the temper of the elder young master of the Fu Family from Haicheng was not to be trifled with.

Getting too close, they feared they might displease Fu Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe, however, looked towards the entrance. She saw Mrs. Qi greeting the guests with a displeased expression but did not see Song Shiwei and Qi Yunqian. She felt a bit puzzled.

Logically, the engagement banquet today should have been hosted by the couple themselves. Why had she only seen the parents, but not the main couple?
