Chapter 1626 - 1608
The reason Tang Sisi told Han Wanwan the truth was simply to make Han Wanwan so angry and ashamed that she would tell Chu Ge everything. By then, given Chu Ge’s negative view of Han Wanwan, he would definitely hate her even more.
Han Wanwan laughed, openly, "Speaking of being hit by a car, I should really thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today."
If it weren’t for Tang Sisi, she wouldn’t have been reborn.
Tang Sisi saw the smile on her face, not a trace of anger, even so calm and placid, and suddenly felt a surge of displeasure in her heart.
"Han Wanwan! Don’t get too full of yourself! Even if you used despicable means to force Chu Ge to marry you, you only got his shell! Chu Ge isn’t interested in women like you!"
Han Wanwan strode gracefully, her head held high, exuding a cold and proud aura. As she stepped closer, Tang Sisi couldn’t help but retreat a step, "Even if I just got his shell, so what? You couldn’t even get his shell, could you?"
The faint smile at the corner of her lips stung Tang Sisi’s eyes. Her eyes were filled with anger; if it weren’t for the current environment, she’d really want to rush forward and tear apart that detestable face!
...
Han Wanwan noticed that Chu Ge seemed somewhat dissatisfied, her heart tightened, "Um, I have another copy here. If you aren’t satisfied with this one, you can take a look at this one."
Saying this, Han Wanwan took out another document, which was shorter than the previous one.
Today was Han Wanwan’s happiest day. Her fiancé, Chu Ge, had just called her to pick up a piece of jewelry at the DR jewelry store. The clerk told her it was a custom couple ring, a lifetime exclusive design.
Han Wanwan felt warm inside, surprised at Chu Ge’s romantic gesture.
At the Chu Group’s five-star hotel, Han Wanwan realized that Chu Group was hosting a family banquet here today.
Han Wanwan felt both nervous and excited: a ring, a family banquet, naturally led her to associate it with a proposal.
"Hold on." As Han Wanwan reached the entrance, she was stopped. The security guard glanced her up and down, "You can’t enter without an invitation."
"I’m the girlfriend of your Vice President, Chu Ge. He asked me to come."
Han Wanwan felt uneasy under the security guard’s gaze; she hadn’t known about today’s family banquet and came without changing her clothes.
"I’ve seen our Mr. Chu’s girlfriend before. It’s not you, but the Lady Chu behind you."
Han Wanwan froze, turned back, and saw Chu Bing, the heiress of the Chu Group, standing not far behind. Today, she sported a delicate makeup and wore a water-blue, off-shoulder evening gown, adorned with a butterfly on one shoulder, looking stunning.
Chu Bing walked arrogantly toward Han Wanwan, raising her chin slightly, her crimson lips curving lightly, "Han Wanwan, are you here to attend the Chu Family banquet too?"
Han Wanwan’s cheeks turned red; she hadn’t known about the Chu Family banquet today.
"Since you’re attending the banquet, dressing like this is quite disrespectful to the Chu Family, isn’t it?"
Chu Bing casually glanced, noticing Han Wanwan’s hand, a shrewd gleam flickering in her eyes, "Oh well, no one will pay attention to you. Come in with me; there might be quite a show to see."
Han Wanwan, immersed in anxiety and joy, didn’t give much thought to the last words Chu Bing uttered.
As for the family banquet, given the Chu Family’s background and influence in H City, naturally, many elite entrepreneurs were invited. Han Wanwan’s casual attire made her appear somewhat out of place.
She searched around and finally spotted Chu Ge among a crowd of business executives. Today, he wore a fitted black suit that looked tailored specifically for him, his hair meticulously styled, clearly dressed for the occasion.
Han Wanwan was regretful; why hadn’t she dressed up before coming? Chu Ge was also reckless. Even if he wanted to surprise her, he should consider the occasion and let her dress up first. In such a large crowd, dressed like this, Chu Ge would certainly lose face.
Chu Ge noticed Han Wanwan and walked over to her, stopping in front of her, "Did you bring what I asked for?"
Han Wanwan’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she handed the box in front of him, saying: "Chu Ge, what are you planning?"
Before she could finish, Chu Ge interrupted her, "You’ll know soon enough what I’m planning."
Chu Ge turned with the ring and walked onto the stage. He scanned the room before lightly coughing and saying, "Everyone, I’m very pleased you all could attend this soiree. Today, I invited everyone to witness something important."
As his words fell, the lights in the hall dimmed, all spotlights centered on Chu Ge, making him seem like the focal point of the room.
Han Wanwan stood below the stage, her heart racing. Her eyes stayed fixed on Chu Ge, when someone bumped into her from behind, causing her to step on someone’s foot.
She hurriedly apologized, "Sorry."
Looking up, she was met with a pair of deep-set eyes. In the faint light, Han Wanwan recognized him—Chu Mo, the executive CEO of the Chu Group, and Chu Ge’s uncle.
His features were more pronounced than Chu Ge’s, adding depth to his face. He wore a casual outfit, yet even standing silently exuded an aura of authority.
Chu Mo seemed to discern Han Wanwan’s gaze, glanced at her sidelong, his expression unfathomable, impossible to realize what he’s thinking.
His gaze briefly swept past Han Wanwan before he redirected his focus, just as the atmosphere at the event reached its peak. Han Wanwan also noticed Chu Ge, holding flowers and a ring, slowly descending from the stage.
The spotlight that shone on Chu Ge gradually shifted and settled on Han Wanwan.
Han Wanwan’s heart rose to her throat, feeling the envious stares around her. Her heart raced in parallel with Chu Ge as he approached step by step.
Chu Ge halted in front of her, an affectionate depth in his eyes, though his gaze passed through her and landed behind her.
Han Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat at the thunderous sound in her ears, "Chu Bing, I love you. Will you marry me?"
Chu Bing; he named Chu Bing and not Han Wanwan.
Han Wanwan turned stiffly, seeing Chu Bing standing there, her lips curved in a smile.
Applause and cheering erupted around her, but Han Wanwan heard nothing, only Chu Ge’s earlier words echoing in her ears, her gaze locked dead on Chu Ge.
"Chu Ge, what are you doing?" she asked.
Chu Ge ignored her completely, bypassing her to stand before Chu Bing. Then, he kneeled on one knee in public, "Chu Bing, will you marry me?"
