The lawn in the manor was packed with guests, who were all members of the upper class in the city.
Lu Zhaoyang got herself a glass of fruit juice and studied the crowd idly.
As former chief secretary of Thunderbolt Corp, many of them were familiar to her.
She endured small talks with the other guests and soon gleaned that Mu Xian’s bride was not only a movie star, but also the designated heir of Fu Financial, the bank run by their family.
Both families had come together to arrange their marriage.
Politically motivated unions were commonplace in the upper class society. Lu Zhaoyang was surprised only by the fact that Mu Xian had chosen to accept it.
The sun was glaring hot. Lu Zhaoyang hid in a shaded corner to keep herself cool.
The ceremony was about to begin.
Ye Zhiyu was the most pitiful victim as a result of this marriage. What would she do now?
Lu Zhaoyang took another sip of fruit juice and felt someone tap on her shoulder. “Ah?”
“It’s me!” Wen He smiled in greeting. “Dear lil’ miss from downstairs, do you remember me?”
“You... Weren’t you captured? How did you escape?”
Lu Zhaoyang was instantly wary. This woman must be very capable if she could escape from Chen.
She was about to walk away from Wen He grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble. You and I have no history, so I have no reason to harm you.”
Lu Zhaoyang’s chest tightened. “Are you here for Huo Yunting?”
“No, no, no. I’m just here for the wedding. Have you forgotten that I am a girl group leader under Su Cheng? The bride is in the same line of work as me, so I thought of coming to have a look.”
The truth was, Wen He was howling with joy inside!
Now that she had Lu Zhaoyang, she would be able to threaten Huo Chen to let her go.
In fact, they were here to find Chen Jiu. The guy had gone rogue and accepted a job in the city. He must be having a death wish!
Huo Chen had discovered the means of communication between Chen Jiu and his employer, so he came here to arrest the man.
Of course, Lu Zhaoyang would not simply believe everything Wen He just said.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Huo Chen where you are now? Or are you using me for some other purpose? I do not think it is a good idea for you to use me to threaten either Huo Yunting or Huo Chen. No one will emerge the winner. Since you have escaped, why don’t you just leave this place? You don’t need to worry about Bai too, he’s doing well on his own. Isn’t it better to just leave the past behind?”
Wen He always liked smart people, and Lu Zhaoyang had earned her respect.
“Don’t think too much, woman.” She circled an arm around her waist and raised an eyebrow teasingly. “Come, follow me.”
Lu Zhaoyang refused to move. “It is crowded here. Are you sure you can kidnap me without anyone noticing?”
“I didn’t say anything about taking you away. Do you hear the music? The wedding ceremony is about to begin. I just wanted to go see the couple with you.”
Wen He looked her up and down. “There’s no need to be nervous. If I really wanted to manhandle you, you know that you cannot stop me.”
“...”
Lu Zhaoyang thought that there was nothing else worth saying between them. She headed toward the crowd.
With so many people around them, Wen He would probably not try anything funny.
When they took their place, the bride and groom were already walking the red carpet.
Lu Zhaoyang stood with the rest of the guests and watched, but her attention was solely on the man walking behind the groom — Huo Yunting.
