Chapter 1406 - 1242: Another One Let Down
Yu Dou’s lips moved slightly, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
Shi Nuan chuckled, and after a while, said, "Earlier, my Father spoke privately with Miss Yang. I’m not sure what they discussed, but I think Mr. Yu, you might know..."
After speaking, Shi Nuan placed a piece of paper on the table.
"This is a note from Xiao Yuan for you, with their current room number on the back. Whether to go see them, it’s up to you!"
Yu Dou frowned, glancing at the note, and until Shi Nuan left the room, he didn’t pick it up.
...
After leaving Yu Dou’s lounge, Shi Nuan headed directly to the hall. Song Yansheng had called earlier, saying he was almost there.
Although she knew that no matter the occasion, as long as that man appeared, he would surely be the focus, as his wife, she still had to go greet him.
Even if it’s just a distant greeting.
As she approached the hall, from afar she saw Yao Ziwan walking towards her.
This time for Song Qingyang and Yu Dou’s wedding, involving the Song Family and Shi Family, notable figures from T City’s business circle were invited.
Yao Ziwan, as the eldest daughter of the Yao Family, was specifically asked by Mr. Yao to attend.
Actually, Yaozi understood Mr. Yao’s mindset well.
She was twenty-five this year, and her Father was indeed anxious.
Previously, he arranged blind dates for her, but the results were unsatisfactory.
Later, she used Song Yansheng as an excuse, which temporarily relieved the pressure.
But Mr. Yao is quite astute.
His daughter has been beside Song Yansheng for nearly three years, and Song Yansheng showed trust in her.
But it’s just trust; there’s no visible romantic feelings.
Song Yansheng is considered emotionally detached, with few rumors over the years, and many tabloid stories are just baseless speculation.
Only recently did the issue with Ji Xiangling, his ex, arise, yet it seemed to be more about the woman creating buzz.
For such a person, if he truly liked his daughter, it wouldn’t take three years.
He begrudgingly accepted it, but didn’t quite trust his daughter to manage Song Yansheng.
Since he’s not very trusting, he naturally hoped to make early plans for his daughter.
This time at Yu Dou and Song Qingyang’s wedding, many prominent young people from T City’s business world were present.
He wanted his daughter to attend, possibly meeting someone she likes.
After all, fate is unpredictable.
But Mr. Yao didn’t know that Yao Ziwan was willing to come entirely because of Song Yansheng’s instructions.
Shi Nuan rarely attends such occasions, and with her aloof personality, she’s not keen on initiating conversations, fearing she might end up neglected.
And he couldn’t accompany her, so he asked Yao Ziwan.
Yao Ziwan’s own love had no more hope, so she greatly wished for Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng to be happy.
For such matters, she’s very willing to help.
It wasn’t until they got close that they greeted each other.
Shi Nuan looked up and down at Yao Ziwan; it was her first time seeing Yao Ziwan wearing a gown, quite different from her usual business attire.
"Sister Yao, you’re truly beautiful today!"
Yao Ziwan was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "At such a time, don’t tease me!"
Shi Nuan cast her gaze towards the hall’s elegant scene, filled with mingling and chatter, finally landing on Yao Shuyan and Shi Jiaojiao who were talking to others.
She said, "Sister Yao, is your brother really going to get engaged to Shi Jiaojiao?"
Yao Ziwan’s eyes flickered slightly, nodding gently, "Yes."
"Though knowing there’s no outcome for them even if engaged, seeing them this way still makes me uncomfortable..."
Yao Shuyan pursed her lips before saying, "Nuannuan, what’s your impression of my brother... Is it good?"
Shi Nuan thought briefly, then nodded, "Your brother seems genteel and well-mannered, most importantly, he’s good to you. I do have a positive impression of him, but only privately; professionally, I haven’t interacted with him yet, but I think it won’t be long..."
"Here... Mr. Song is here!"
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
Instantly, all eyes turned to the doorway.
Shi Nuan’s gaze followed suit.
After waiting for a while, several figures finally appeared at the entrance, including Song Yansheng among the two leading.
And walking with Song Yansheng, lightly supported by him, was Wen Biyue.
Behind them were two or three others Shi Nuan didn’t recognize, likely other wedding guests.
