Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 82: Introduce When Idle

Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Introduce When Idle

Within a few days, Ye Yan received an invitation to the engagement party of Pei Ye and Xia Mengyao.

She had no acquaintance with either of them; the invitation was secured by Meng Tian for her.

This engagement banquet was being held with great fanfare, largely due to the influence of Xia Mengyao’s grandfather, Yao Fangsheng.

The Yao family had recently encountered some financial crises and was eager to use this banquet to build relationships.

The Xia Family and the Yao family invited many celebrities together, but on the other side, the Pei Family—Pei Ye’s parents—were just an average working-class couple who had worked hard to raise a college student who eventually became a doctor.

Pei Ye’s parents were extremely proud and gained more face among their relatives.

However, what Pei Ye’s parents were unsatisfied with was that their outstanding son had chosen a forensic scientist for a partner.

What is a forensic scientist? Someone who deals with corpses all day, simply put, it’s a profession considered quite inauspicious.

A girl who sees dead bodies every day, just thinking about it is frightening.

Every time Pei Ye’s parents saw Meng Tian, they wore a look of disdain, as if afraid that anything she touched was contaminated with bacteria from the deceased.

Fortunately, as if fate saw fit, their son finally wised up. Not only did he find a director’s daughter, but her family was also wealthy merchants, well-reputed throughout the whole of Ao City.

Just looking at today’s guests, dressed in luxurious and elegant attire, their conversations revolved around businesses worth millions and millions.

It seemed as if Pei Ye’s parents had ascended to the Immortal Realm overnight, leaping directly from the bottom of society to the top, even their walk seemed to float.

But the Xia Family did not see it the same way. In fact, from the beginning, they didn’t like Pei Ye. They needed a marriage between equals, and if possible, to marry into a higher status.

Pei Ye’s parents were just ordinary people, of no help to the Xia Family’s or the Yao family’s development.

But Xia Mengyao liked him and was dead set on marrying him.

The Xia family had only this precious daughter and feared she would seek death in her desperation, so they had no choice but to compromise.

"Dad, Mom, you should talk less when it’s time, just smiling will do," Pei Ye had prepared a luxurious outfit for his parents, but they had never experienced high society life, and their knowledge and cultivation were worlds apart.

Today, guests at the engagement banquet included colleagues from the hospital, many business associates of the Yao family, and nobles seeking favor. Speaking less and smiling more was the best way to avoid mistakes.

Pei Ye’s parents quickly nodded in agreement.

"Xiao Ye, isn’t that your unlucky girlfriend?" Mrs. Pei suddenly pointed at the entrance, both angry and anxious.

Could his ex-girlfriend be here to cause a scene on such an occasion?

Pei Ye had not easily achieved his success and status; he couldn’t let her come and wreak havoc.

Pei Ye glanced at the entrance and, sure enough, saw Meng Tian and Ye Yan.

Meng Tian was wearing a black spaghetti strap cocktail dress today, the design above the knee revealing her fair and long legs without reserve.

Her slightly curled long hair was casually tied into a high ponytail, both playful and dashing.

Pei Ye knew Meng Tian was beautiful. Her striking features could draw attention without any makeup.

But the Meng Tian he usually saw was plain and simple, hardly wearing makeup, let alone donning such a cute yet sexy dress.

As she appeared hand in hand with Ye Yan, they immediately became the center of attention for the whole room.

"These two girls are so beautiful."

"Three minutes, I want all their information."

"Don’t dream, do you think you are some domineering CEO?"

The two young men joked in this manner, but their gazes lingered on the beautiful women, unwilling to move away.

"That one is the groom’s ex-girlfriend," a girl in a couture dress sneered, "After breaking up with her, she has been desperately clinging to him. Today is someone’s happy engagement day; she must be here to cause trouble."

"If it’s over, it’s over. Have some dignity. Chasing him to the engagement banquet is really shameless, isn’t it?"

"They’re still dressed so provocatively, isn’t it just to steal the bride’s thunder?"

The speakers were Xia Mengyao’s close girlfriends, and they deliberately raised their voices, afraid the guests nearby wouldn’t hear them.

Meng Tian and Ye Yan were beautiful, but their status wasn’t enough, and the moment of amazement was soon overshadowed by newly arrived guests.

The Yao family patriarch, Yao Fangsheng, personally welcomed the Xia family at the entrance, indicating the enormous importance of these guests.

Meng Tian popped a sour plum into her mouth, "Your Mr. Fu didn’t come?"

Ye Yan shook her head, "He’s been back in Hong Kong for several days now."

"Hasn’t he contacted you?"

Ye Yan’s face suddenly reddened.

She thought about how the man had only wrapped a towel around himself last night during their video call, and how he had carelessly flaunted himself before the camera.

Meng Tian, understanding perfectly, suddenly leaned in close to her best friend’s ear, "You guys didn’t do ’X’ over video, did you?"

Ye Yan was taken aback and hurriedly covered her mouth, "Don’t talk nonsense, we were just chatting normally."

"Chatting every day?"

"Pretty much."

Meng Tian blinked, "That’s the behavior of someone in the throes of love."

"Throes of love?"

"You want to see him every day, and when you can’t, you feel anxious and unsettled, and when you have a moment to spare, you want to send him a message or call him; your heart flutters with uncertainty when you don’t hear his voice."

Ye Yan looked at her friend, seriously analyzing every word she said.

The Fu Xingzhou of the past wouldn’t contact her at all when he was on a business trip.

The two of them didn’t disturb each other; it seemed to have become some sort of unspoken agreement.

But the Fu Xingzhou of now would send her updates during his travels, share his daily life when he arrived, and call her every night. Taking advantage of his good physique, he would intentionally or unintentionally tempt her.

Thinking this, Ye Yan couldn’t help but smile.

Sometimes, he really was childish, not at all like someone who was almost thirty.

"Alright, alright, stop showing off," Meng Tian said with feigned disgust, "Laughing so hard you can’t see your teeth, it’s embarrassing."

Ye Yan didn’t deny it but turned her head to smile at her, "Look, Pei Ye is engaged now, when will you find someone again?"

"I’m not looking, if I do, there goes my happy life. Today I work hard, tomorrow I’m surrounded by eight male models, my life goal is—to keep a villa full of male models."

Ye Yan silently rolled her eyes at these bold words.

At this moment, Yao Fangsheng and the others had already walked to the entrance, "Mr. Meng’s presence graces us, Yao I am so embarrassed for not having greeted you from afar; such a discourtesy."

Yao Fangsheng, aiming to cast a wide net to catch more fish, sent out a heap of invitations.

Maybe some big shot would happen to be free and come over for a visit; even if they did nothing, it was a face-giving gesture to him.

He hadn’t expected that Meng Yusheng and Mrs. Meng would come together.

The Yao family was in the medical equipment business, but compared to the Meng family, they simply paled in insignificance. Meng Yusheng’s arrival truly adorned their humble abode.

"Please, Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng."

Yao Fangsheng personally led them into the banquet hall, receiving envious glances from all directions as they went.

Yao Fangsheng and the Xia family members could hardly contain their smiles; they wore them proudly all along the way.

"It’s quite lively," Meng Yusheng caught sight of his daughter among the crowd, "I heard Mr. Yao’s grandson-in-law is quite talented, I’d appreciate an introduction when you have time."
