Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth

Chapter 841: Chapter 821: First in Line_2

This kind of social event, coupled with the fact that he was the main character today, was far more tiring than a day’s work at the Duma.

Just getting engaged was this grand, what would it be like when he actually got married?

...

That night, Wang Ye’s and Grand Duchess Rossiyana’s engagement ceremony appeared on the National TV station’s Evening News.

It was given a full three minutes!

This was also because guests like Prince Charles and Prince Carlos were visiting, marking it as a rather important diplomatic event.

On the TV screen, Wang Ye looked even more handsome and upright, and the Grand Duchess Rossiyana clinging to his arm dazzled with glittering jewelry.

When the ordinary citizens saw this news, they seemed less interested in the Romanov family returning to the spotlight; the focus of their discussions fell on whether Wang Ye and Rossiyana were a well-matched couple...

"Tsk tsk, the girl who can match Deputy Speaker Mikhail really is no ordinary one. This Grand Duke title, it’s equivalent to being a princess in the past, right?"

"During the Tsarist Russia period, when our country’s princesses got married, they would be awarded the title of Grand Duke, signifying a more prestigious status for our country’s princesses! Thus, the status of a Grand Duke is actually higher than that of a princess."

"Well, that’s decent. Only then does she deserve Chairman Mikhail. Honestly, I feel that an ordinary princess wouldn’t even match up to him. He is the future hope of our country..."

These were the common people’s thoughts on the marriage.

However, for those who knew Wang Ye, their thoughts were obviously different...

Ruan Xiaozhu was not invited to attend Wang Ye’s engagement ceremony, nor was it suitable for her to appear there.

These past few days, she was in Petersburg for fun, and also to visit her good friend Yanzi.

Yanzi and Song Xiaogang had been in Petersburg studying and working for a while, and Ruan Xiaozhu hadn’t had the time to visit yet. Now that it was the end of September and she had finished with Qingyun Study Abroad Service Company’s business, she found herself free and decided to drive to Petersburg for a little vacation for herself.

When the Evening News was broadcasting Wang Ye’s engagement ceremony, Ruan Xiaozhu was at a restaurant within the gambling center in Petersburg, dining with Yanzi and Song Xiaogang.

In the private room, as the three of them chatted and laughed, they heard the voice coming from the TV placed to one side.

"The following news is about the engagement scene of Deputy Speaker Mikhail and Grand Duchess Rossiyana. Reportedly, the engagement ceremony was graced with the presence of high-profile individuals, including representatives from the British Royal Family, the Danish Royal Family, the Spanish Royal Family, and other European royal families. We’re very familiar with Deputy Speaker Mikhail, but some might wonder who Grand Duchess Rossiyana is and why she bears the title of Grand Duchess. I’ll give you a detailed introduction next..."

Listening to the voice from the TV, the three turned their heads to look simultaneously.

On the screen, Wang Ye was holding Rossiyana’s hand, the two of them standing in the middle of a small stage, both holding a scepter and a Golden Egg, smiling.

Ruan Xiaozhu and the other two were very familiar with Wang Ye, recognizing him at first glance.

However, they didn’t immediately realize who the Rossiyana beside him was, even though Ruan Xiaozhu had seen her a few times before.

Because Rossiyana’s outfit today was simply too striking...

Ruan Xiaozhu’s vision was drawn to the sparkling diamond crown...

"Is... is that really Wang... no, Mikhail?" Yanzi, excited, almost misspoke, but she reacted quickly and corrected herself in time.

Although there were no outsiders in the room and all three of them knew Wang Ye’s real identity, they still implicitly avoided that topic.

Ruan Xiaozhu’s eyebrows were knit in frustration; what was her "younger brother" up to!

How could he not inform his elder sister about such an important event as his engagement?

Song Xiaogang’s feelings were a bit more complicated.

On Wang Ye’s first day in Moscow, they had met and even shared a room!

Although Song Xiaogang had long known that Wang Ye was not an ordinary person—he was very mature and prudent, with a sharp mind.

Right after arriving, he thought about making money by selling phone cards and leading a thriving life; surely, he wasn’t simple at all.

But no matter what, he had never expected that his former roommate could have come this far...

Look at who’s appearing at this engagement ceremony!

Just the names announced by the news reporter had pretty much "netted" all the high-level figures of the Russian political circle!

And it wasn’t just the political elite, but also many business magnates and even members of European royalty...

What’s more outrageous is, Wang Ye’s fiancée is some sort of "Grand Duchess"!

Just by hearing the title, one can tell it’s quite impressive.

However, Song Xiaogang’s personality is very steady, and he would absolutely not open his mouth to exclaim or comment on anything, even in front of his girlfriend and Ruan Xiaozhu!

Ruan Xiaozhu didn’t have this reservation though. She was stunned for a while, but eventually managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"This... This girl looks very noble, the crown is really beautiful!"

She didn’t comment on how pretty Rossiyana was or whether Wang Ye and Rossiyana were a good match, but instead remarked on the beauty of the diamond crown...

It can only be said her thought process is different from the average person’s.

Yanzi nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, these must all be real diamonds, it’s really beautiful! When I get married, I also want..."

As she was speaking, she turned her head to look at Song Xiaogang, startling him.

He feigned composure and said,

"You all don’t understand, it’s not about whether the crown is beautiful or not, it’s a priceless treasure in itself!

When I was still studying in Moscow, I visited the Kremlin. This crown must be one of the three crowns preserved in the Kremlin Museum, I have a deep impression of it.

Because of those three crowns, this one is the only one made entirely of diamonds.

Did you not notice, the host just introduced the girl as a Grand Duchess of the Romanov family!

The Romanov family was the royal family of Tsarist Russia, having produced more than a dozen Tsars.

It seems Rossiyana’s status is not simple at all; otherwise, so many European royals would not have come to witness the ceremony..."

Song Xiaogang diverted the topic from the crown to Rossiyana’s status as a Grand Duchess.

Although Ruan Xiaozhu wanted to add more, she understood that some things shouldn’t be carelessly discussed, so she followed the topic brought up by Song Xiaogang.

The three of them discussed the Romanov Family and what exactly a Grand Duchess’s title was, while the matter of Wang Ye’s engagement was tacitly overlooked by them.

But whether Ruan Xiaozhu would go to settle scores with Wang Ye when she returned to Moscow would be a matter for another time.

...

At the same time, in Simferopol, Angelina and Natalia were also watching the news.

Watching the spirited Wang Ye on TV, Angelina and Natalia didn’t speak for a long time.

After all, they were both mentally prepared...

Perhaps sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere in the room, Natalia forced a smile and said, "I really didn’t expect there to still be survivors of the Romanov family and for Misha to be connected with them. From the looks of it, could the Romanov family be hoping for Misha to restore Tsarist Russia?"

Angelina gently shook her head, "No matter how they plan, Misha could not possibly cooperate with them. The era that belonged to Tsarist Russia is long gone, and no one wants to return to the past anymore."

"No, no, I don’t agree with your view. You have to know, during the Tsarist Russia period, our country was once glorious! If we could really return to that era, it may not be a bad thing, and it might even be better than now. Look at what Russia has become now, ah..." Natalia argued with a heavy voice.

Angelina didn’t have the inclination to argue with her at that moment, merely staring blankly at Wang Ye on the TV screen, her thoughts unknown...

Natalia stopped speaking as well and continued watching the television.

The scene on the TV was truly a bit stimulating to her; the gathering was crowded with heavyweights, yet Wang Ye was the most dazzling of them all!

People, oh, only if you reach this stage in life, can it not be considered in vain...
