Chapter 558: Banquet Preparations (4)

Given Lu Cheng’s status, there was no way he would have anything to do with the entertainment industry.

As for Shen Nian, Lu Cheng glanced at the radiant woman a few times before shaking his head to himself.

The mere thought of a Shen Nian this radiant appearing at the banquet and dazzling so many people made Lu Cheng feel a pang of jealousy. And that wasn’t even considering the idea of her joining the entertainment industry, allowing countless others to discover her beauty.

Just thinking about it filled Lu Cheng with utter refusal. ’He wished he could lock Shen Nian away. A woman like her could only belong to him, and him alone!’

"Shen Nian, you’re so beautiful! And Lu Cheng, you’re so handsome too! Goodness, our family’s banquet tonight is going to be absolutely spectacular!"

Chu Lingxiu cupped her cheeks as she gazed at Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, her eyes filled with awe.

Shen Nian smiled. She understood the meaning in Lu Cheng’s gaze, and she also noticed his expression darken even further when he heard Chu Lingxiu’s words.

Of course, Shen Nian knew this was all because of how much Lu Cheng treasured her. Truth be told, if a crowd of girls were staring intently at Lu Cheng, she would be jealous and upset too!

"Ah Cheng, you’re so handsome!"

Shen Nian said, looking at Lu Cheng without concealing the awe and adoration in her eyes.

Lu Cheng, who had been feeling a little disgruntled, immediately softened upon hearing Shen Nian’s words.

’It doesn’t matter how many people covet my wife. In her eyes, I’m the most handsome!’

At this thought, Lu Cheng’s expression grew even gentler.

"Nini, you’re so beautiful!"

Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng, her smile sweet. ’In this lifetime, those were the only words she ever wanted to hear from his lips.’

"Oh, come on, you two! You’ve got to stop with all the public displays of affection. We’re always the ones suffering! Have some pity on us!"

Lu Cheng shrugged. ’He didn’t care. His wife was just that beautiful.’

"Let’s go. It’s about time. The guests at the banquet have probably mostly arrived by now."

"Yeah, let’s go."

Lu Cheng was well aware of the banquet’s importance. Furthermore, he expected to see many people there whom he previously hadn’t had much opportunity to meet.

The Chu Family’s banquet wasn’t held at an outside venue, but right in their own residential community’s banquet hall.

While that might sound somewhat casual, hosting a banquet here was not something just any family could manage.

And indeed, nearly all the guests the Chu Family had invited were already there.

The people attending the Chu Family’s banquet today were most curious about two things.

The first was Mr. Chu’s newly adopted grandson. With his appearance, the Chu Family’s standing would likely be shaken up a bit.

The second concerned Mr. Chu himself. Anyone remotely familiar with the Chu Family knew how many years it had been since he had attended such an event.

While a major reason for this was Mr. Chu’s preference for a low profile, his health was also a significant factor.

But this time, Mr. Chu was personally hosting the banquet and would be present for the entire event. They had even heard that his health had improved significantly.

Therefore, many people had come hoping to see for themselves just how much Mr. Chu’s health had recovered.

If the rumors were true, they were even more eager to find out how exactly he had recovered. After all, quite a few people were aware of Mr. Chu’s prior condition.

Someone capable of curing Mr. Chu would have to be an incredible talent!

Every family has its share of aches and pains. If such a remarkable person truly existed, then it was imperative to build a good relationship with them!
