Chapter 377: The Wedding Becomes a Charity Gala

Sheng Hanyu attributed all the benefits to Shi Youxuan, and the reporters, with their Hallucinogenic Pens, added many flattering words to write up the draft.

The interview ended, and the two walked inside.

These reporters were hired by Sheng Hanyu with money; although he didn't say it, Shi Youxuan could guess it.

He does things thoroughly; he is indeed very thoughtful when considering matters.

"Thank you," she said sincerely.

Sheng Hanyu replied, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Shi Youxuan:...

In the past, if she thanked him, Sheng Hanyu would be unhappy, and he would sink his face and tell her: "Don't thank me; I don't like hearing you say that word to me."

But now, he didn't.

She wasn't being polite, but he was truly being polite.

He was so polite that Shi Youxuan could feel Sheng Hanyu distancing himself from her.

Entering the hotel, many guests had already arrived.

Everyone originally thought they were coming to attend a wedding, but it turned out to be a charity gala!

People didn't think it was changed at the last minute; they only thought the two were cunning and had conspired to set up such a trap to trick everyone.

However, although they felt "tricked," others hadn't really lost anything; it was just a matter of turning their gift money into donations, and they could leave a name in the charity book, so they were all happy to see it happen.

They just teased the two a bit, asking if they had planned this long ago?

Perhaps it started from the moment Shi Youxuan caught the bride's bouquet at Sheng Zerong and Jian Yixin's wedding, all just to trick them into donating today.

Sheng Hanyu smiled without a word; although he didn't answer directly, his demeanor made people believe their guesses were correct.

Originally, everyone was very optimistic about the two, but looking at the current situation, people began to speculate whether there was still a chance for Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan to reconcile.

Most people felt there was no chance.

Thus, some began to stir, tentatively wanting to introduce girlfriends to Sheng Hanyu!

Sheng Hanyu is currently the most famous bachelor in Jiangzhou; although he has been to Prison, and although he has a daughter, what does that matter?

He has money.

A wealthy man is always the most popular existence in the marriage market.

Not to mention that Sheng Hanyu is not only wealthy, but he is also very handsome!

In the past, there were people who didn't have eyes and wanted to introduce girlfriends to Sheng Hanyu, but they didn't get a good look and were even warned.

Later, everyone knew that Sheng Hanyu was chasing Shi Youxuan and wanted to reconcile.

So, during that time, people stopped.

Sheng Hanyu and Shi Youxuan were originally husband and wife, they had a daughter, and both were top-tier figures in the business world; as long as both of them were interested, no one could intervene.

But now, people seemed to see "hope" again.

Since the two could use a wedding as a cover to trick everyone into a charity gala, they must not be able to reconcile.

This time, Sheng Hanyu went against his usual behavior; when someone wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend, he didn't object and agreed to meet when he had time!

Once he agreed to one, more people immediately swarmed over.

Before long, the charity gala was about to turn into a matchmaking event, and Shi Youxuan felt sour and very uncomfortable inside.

Jian Yixin came to her side and whispered gloatingly, "Serves you right! Regret it now? You didn't cherish such a good man when he was in front of you; just wait until another woman stands by his side and you'll be stunned."

She still retorted stubbornly, "I don't care; whoever wants to stand there can stand there. I have nothing to regret."

Jian Yixin was frustrated by her lack of resolve: "Hmph! Don't look so tough now; there will be a time when you cry."

Shi Youxuan wanted to cry right now, but she couldn't say why.

It was clearly annoying when Sheng Hanyu was clinging to her, but now that he suddenly wasn't, she felt very unaccustomed to it.

However, she wouldn't admit defeat and remained stubborn: "What's the big deal? Let him look; once he finds someone new, he won't harass me and my daughter, and we can live a peaceful life."

She said this through gritted teeth, and while speaking, Shi Youxuan's eyes were fixed on Sheng Hanyu the whole time.

While talking to Jian Yixin, her eyes never left Sheng Hanyu from start to finish; this appearance was clearly jealousy, yet she refused to admit it herself.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance.

A loud voice arrived before the person did: "Happy wedding to Big Brother and Sister-in-law! Wang Yong is late, but luckily not too late, I still made it, hahahahaha..."

Shi Youxuan slapped her own forehead.

Terrible, she had actually forgotten about him.

She hadn't had time to explain the situation to Wang Yong, and now he came in offering congratulations; how embarrassing.

Wang Yong was tall and sturdy with a long stride, and he quickly reached Shi Youxuan: "Sister-in-law, where is my Big Brother? This is the wedding gift I brought for you both; I wish you a hundred years of harmony, a bond that lasts forever, growing old together, and many children and grandchildren."

Before Shi Youxuan could explain, Sheng Hanyu had already come from behind, grabbed Wang Yong by the back of his collar, turned him around, and warned: "Stop talking nonsense, you're ruining Miss Shi's reputation."

"Today is a charity gala; what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

Wang Yong:...

He looked bewildered.

Wasn't it a wedding banquet?

Big Brother's long-cherished wish had finally been realized, so how did it suddenly become a charity gala?

He thought for a moment and smiled.

Wang Yong cupped his hands and said to Sheng Hanyu: "Brother, I know you're angry that I'm late, right? I've already explained this to Sister-in-law. How about this, I'll punish myself with three cups in a moment; if three isn't enough, then six!"

Wang Yong had a loud voice, like a built-in megaphone.

When this shout came out, many people heard it.

Sheng Hanyu slapped him on the head: "Why can't you understand human speech? I told you it's a charity gala, so it's a charity gala. Don't talk nonsense and don't affect Miss Shi's reputation."

Now Wang Yong was stunned: "What? It's really not a wedding? But clearly, on the phone, it was said..."

Under the warning in Sheng Hanyu's eyes, he forcibly swallowed the second half of his sentence.

Shi Youxuan saw the interaction between the two, and she felt even more unsettled inside.

The more eager Sheng Hanyu was to distance himself from her, the more unsettled Shi Youxuan felt; he even addressed her as "Miss Shi," as if he were deathly afraid that others might misunderstand that there was something between them.

She wanted to go over and ask Sheng Hanyu what he meant.

Was he taking revenge on her?

Even if she were in the wrong this time, he could have just brought it up if he was dissatisfied; why use such a method to make everyone feel uncomfortable?

In reality, only she felt uncomfortable; Sheng Hanyu was doing quite well right now.

The people lining up to introduce girlfriends to him were almost forming a queue, and his dating schedule was already booked a month in advance!

As the "Ambassador," Shi Ran was also quite happy, wearing a beautiful dress and accepting photos from reporters on stage like a lady, with none of her usual mischievous and troublemaking demeanor visible.

"You little heartless thing, only caring about your own happiness." Shi Youxuan projected her own inner discomfort onto her daughter.

After taking photos, Shi Ran came bouncing over under the guidance of Jian Yining.

"Mom, you look like you aren't very happy?" The little girl tilted her head, unable to understand why.

It was clearly Mom who didn't keep her word, yet now she had an expression like someone owed her money; what was that about?

Jian Yining pointed it out directly: "Your mom is probably regretting it."

Shi Youxuan glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the child. What do I have to regret? I am very happy, incredibly happy."

"Fine, I can't afford to offend you, so I'll just stay out of your way, alright?" Jian Yining raised his hands in surrender, then went over to chat with the group including Yun Zhehao.

They say a daughter is a mother's thoughtful little padded jacket, but Shi Ran was clearly a summer padded jacket, and an extra-thick one at that.
