Regretting an Offense
However, she only looked towards Sheng Nanxuan confidently. “Cousin-in-law, you probably don’t know this, but my cousin has really good taste. Her previous boyfriend was the son of the wealthiest man in the city, Sheng Donglin. Cousin-in-law must come from a good family too, right?”
She said this so that she could dig up Sheng Nanxuan’s family background and see if he was worth seducing.
At first, she had really wanted to seduce Sheng Donglin. The Sheng Family was so rich that they would be able to pave the way for her rise in the entertainment industry somehow. However, that sl*t, Gong Mo, had actually snagged him for herself and not even introduced her to him. It was because of Gong Mo that she was only able to land minor roles despite her lengthy time in the entertainment industry! If this man came from a good family as well, she could not let the opportunity slip away!
Even if he did not come from a good family, she didn’t want Gong Mo to marry him either! He was so handsome that he’d elevate Gong Mo above her. Things wouldn’t get better if she didn’t disrupt their marriage! She believed that everyone would be able to understand the meaning behind her words. This man must be marrying Gong Mo because he was afraid that she would cuckold him.
In the end, however, Sheng Nanxuan said, “What a coincidence. I’m also the son of the wealthiest man in Nanjiang, though my name is not Sheng Donglin, but Sheng Nanxuan. Please take care of me.”
Gong Fei was stunned. Everyone was stunned. What did he say? He was the son of the wealthiest man in the city? The wealthiest man in the city had two sons?
They couldn’t know if he was speaking the truth because their circles ran too far from the Sheng Family. How could they know how many sons Sheng Zhongtian had? If he was speaking the truth, that meant that they had offended him.
Gong Fei’s expression was twisted as she looked at Gong Mo. “Cousin is so awesome…”
Gong Mo rolled her eyes at her. “Focus on eating if you don’t know how to hold a proper conversation.”
Gong Fei wanted to return fire, but she felt a wave of iciness hit her. She looked up and met Sheng Nanxuan’s frosty gaze. He looked like he was looking at someone who was about to die. He was so scary!
Gong Fei shivered with fear and looked down hurriedly, not daring to say anything else.
The rest didn’t dare to misbehave as well, eating their food in silence.
After the meal, everyone rushed to leave. Big Aunt said, “We’ll meet again on the day of the wedding, then.”
“Wedding?” A hard look came over Mama Gong’s face. “I already laid out the ugly truth plainly, but I did not expect someone to be so shameless! You don’t have to come for the wedding anymore. I don’t desire your gifts at all!”
“You!” Big Aunt was displeased but did not dare to do anything when she saw Sheng Nanxuan standing coldly beside Mama Gong.
Big Aunt harrumphed, swung her handbag, and left. The rest of the relatives also left unhappily, with only Tian Cheng casting an apologetic look at Gong Mo.
After the group exited the hotel, Third Uncle said regretfully, “If I had known that he was the son of the wealthiest man in the city, I would have…”
“What use is saying all that now?” Little Aunt swept an irksome look at Gong Fei. “Someone got jealous that Momo found a good husband and offended him.”
Still, it was good that Tan Cheng was sympathetic. She could still use her to go to the wedding. It would be impossible for Gong Mo to chase her out then.
“That’s enought!” cried Gong Fei. “Are you going to believe anything they say? We’re all born and raised in Nanjiang, yet no one has ever heard that the Sheng Family has a second son.”
“No wealthy person would tell the world of their affairs!” said Little Aunt. “Do you think everyone works like you and has to tell the entire world what happens to them?”
“Wealthy people value their face,” retorted Gong Fei. “Even in a normal family, it would be embarrassing for them to have a woman break up with their eldest son and then marry their second son. Even if they didn’t mind it, they would definitely look down on Cousin’s background. There is always the debate of whether a couple has matching social standing before they get married and the wealthy are no exception to this!”
