Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

On the day of the engagement ceremony,

Lu Si descended the stairs in a well-tailored suit.

Lu Ting had been sitting on the sofa, waiting for him. Seeing him come down on time, a smile finally appeared on Lu Ting’s serious face. “If your grandmother were still alive and could witness your engagement, she would surely be very happy.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Si looked surprised, then walked over and support his grandfather by the arm, smiling. “1 know what Grandpa wants to say. Don’t worry; today I will definitely participate in the entire engagement ceremony.” “Good.” Satisfied, Lu Ting allowed himself to be assisted into the car parked at the door.

Lu Li, worried about his younger brother, took advantage of the moment when Lu Ting got into the car to inquire, “I know you don’t like Shen Yuan, but once you publicly engage with her today, it’s almost impossible to think of canceling the engagement. Even if Grandpa can’t force you, people outside will say that Miss Mei is a third party destroying your relationship with Shen Yuan. After today, Mei Shu might have to bear a lifetime of infamy for your sake.”

“I know. That’s why 1 said I would complete the engagement ceremony. Of course, I won’t consider canceling it either.” Lu Si smirked meaningfully at him. Before Lu Li could continue questioning, he opened the car door and sat next to Lu Ting.

Now, Lu Li found it difficult to say anything.

He sat with his wife in the car behind, while Lu Yan sat in the front passenger seat, wearing a worried expression.

At the engagement ceremony venue, it was already crowded with guests.

The Lu family’s engagement banquet was an event everyone was scrambling to attend.

It was a great opportunity to make connections with the Lu family.

Even if one didn’t have the qualifications to converse with the Lu family, cozying up to the Shen family was still not a bad outcome.

Everyone knew that Master Si currently favored Shen Yuan, and the Shen family would undoubtedly become the second-largest commercial family, second only to the Lu family. As for that Mei Shu, she would probably become the target of everyone’s exclusion after today.

In the dressing room.

Shen Yuan looked at her beautiful self in the mirror, satisfaction evident on her lips. “Has Ah Si arrived?”

“He just arrived. I saw Master Si and Grandpa Lu coming in together. They should be welcoming guests in the lobby on the first floor now,” the secretary happily reported. “Ms. Shen, I didn’t expect Grandpa Lu to like you so much. With him supporting you, the position of Mrs. Lu is practically within your grasp!”

Shen Yuan put on sparkling diamond earrings, smiling. “Of course, this is also the only useful thing my useless father has done.”

Originally, the Shen family had little contact with the Lu family, and the old relationship had faded by Shen Hai’s generation.

But Shen Hai was a lapdog who was willing to wag his tail at people useful to him, and with his own efforts, he managed to maintain contact with Lu Ting. During holidays and special occasions, he would come to visit Lu Ting and send gifts.

The Lu family naturally looked down on the things he sent.

However, as time went by, Lu Ting got older, and he gradually began to miss old friends.

The two families reestablished contact, and Shen Yuan often called Lu Ting to greet him.

In Lu Ting’s eyes, Shen Yuan had always been a filial and sensible girl.

“Ms. Shen, it’s done.” The makeup artist put away her tools, standing next to Shen Yuan with a smile. “Are you satisfied with today’s makeup?”

“Not bad.” Shen Yuan carefully examined herself, then, assisted by the secretary, elegantly stood up, exuding the proud demeanor of a future Mrs. Lu. “Let’s go downstairs; we shouldn’t keep Grandpa and Ah Si waiting.”

“Ms. Shen, only when you and Master Si stand together can it be considered a perfect match. That Mei Shu can’t compare to you at all,” the makeup artist took advantage of the opportunity to flatter, following Shen Yuan and desperately trying to please her. “Look at your well-maintained skin. I’ve prepared a small gift from our brand specifically for you. I hope you’ll accept it; it would be our brand’s greatest honor.”

Shen Yuan glanced at it and recognized that it was a cosmetics product from a niche brand. A disdainful smile appeared on her face. “If you want me to help you advertise, the price is not cheap.”

The makeup artist, feeling a bit embarrassed, smiled and said, “I don’t expect you to promote our product in any way. As long as you can use our skincare product once, that would be the greatest honor for our brand.”

Shen Yuan felt a little light-headed from her praise. She gave the secretary beside her a look and said, “Then accept it. Your makeup skills are not bad. If you still need to do makeup at a banquet next time, I’ll get my secretary to contact you.”

“Then I’ll definitely be on call. President Shen, oh no, Mrs. Lu, let me help you press the elevator button.” The makeup artist pressed the elevator button eagerly and retreated behind her with a smile.

Shen Yuan, thoroughly enjoying the compliments, felt this was the life she deserved.

It was a far cry from the past when she had to listen to her father’s orders and cater to those old ugly men!

“Ding.” The elevator door opened with a sound, and as Shen Yuan lifted her gaze, she unexpectedly collided with the gloomy eyes of Lu Si..
