Chapter 774: Chapter 772: How Did He Come_1

"That’s right," Mr. Xue drawled lazily in response.

Cheng Feifei couldn’t help but pout, "If all you want is her kidney, why don’t you just kidnap her and take it? Why go through the trouble of getting engaged?"

Isn’t that just an unnecessary step, like taking off your pants to fart?

"You really are dense!" Mr. Xue, with a cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, snorting, "Besides her kidney, I want her money too!"

"You should know who her grandfather is, right? The second richest man in Star Shine. As far as I know, her grandfather left her a will in secret. As soon as she gets engaged, the inheritance will be transferred to her name."

Cheng Feifei’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Really? That’s a thing?"

She had never heard of such a thing.

"It’s true," Mr. Xue confirmed with a nod.

Cheng Feifei knew he had no reason to lie and bit her lip, "I didn’t expect my sister to be so secretive."

She never mentioned such a big thing to the family.

In fact, it wasn’t that Cheng Youyou hadn’t said anything, she herself didn’t know, not until later did she realize such a thing existed.

Mr. Xue gave her a cool glance, "That’s exactly why I insist on getting engaged to her. Otherwise, I would have taken that kidney of hers a long time ago."

"But are you sure she will give you the money?" Cheng Feifei frowned, voicing her concern.

Anyone with a brain would hardly hand over such a large fortune, even to their fiancé.

Mr. Xue sneered, his voice chilling with determination, "If she doesn’t give it to me, I have my ways to make her give it. You don’t need to worry about that."

As his voice trailed off, he tapped her head again, "Are you still jealous now? Do you want to sabotage our engagement?"

Cheng Feifei was no fool and immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, "No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare."

She, in fact, desperately wanted them to get engaged quickly and then swiftly take that wench’s kidney and money, leaving her with nothing!

Mr. Xue hummed, instructing, "Then you’d better behave yourself these days. Don’t let her catch on, you got it?"

"I promise," Cheng Feifei responded hastily.

Mr. Xue snuffed out his cigarette and gripped the steering wheel, "Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s head to the hospital."

"What are we going to the hospital for?" Cheng Feifei apparently had forgotten what they had come out for.

Mr. Xue said exasperatedly, "Are you sure you don’t want to go through the whole act?"

With that reminder, Cheng Feifei suddenly remembered, "Oh, that’s right. We are supposed to go to the hospital for a headache, boohoo, I’m so silly, Xue."

She clung to his arm and acted coquettishly.

Mr. Xue couldn’t resist this act, a smirk playing on his lips, "What does it matter if you’re silly, as long as I’m smart?"

"Yes, Xue," Cheng Feifei giggled sweetly.

By the time they returned, it was already midnight.

When Cheng Feifei entered, she happened to come across Cheng Youyou, who was getting up to get some water.

"Sister, you are getting engaged in a few days, congratulations," she said with a sincere smile, quite a change from her previous jealousy, but with a hint of schadenfreude hidden in the depths of her eyes.

Even if you get engaged, so what.

Xue is only after your money and kidney!

Cheng Youyou was not in the dark; she must have known the real reason why Mr. Xue wanted to get engaged with her.

But so what?

Did this pair of despicable lovers really think the engagement banquet in a few days would go off without a hitch?

Cheng Youyou sneered inwardly, took a sip of water, but her face was all smiles as she gratefully accepted the well-wishes as if nothing was amiss, bashfully responding, "Thank you, little sister. By the way, how is your headache doing?"

"Ahem, it’s fine, all better now, nothing wrong at all." Mentioning this made Cheng Feifei feel suddenly guilty, and after a cursory response, she quickly retreated back to her room.

Three days later, the engagement party of the Cheng and Xue families officially commenced.

The sixth floor of Jingcheng Hotel was completely booked for the event.

Guests gathered densely on the day.

Inside the hall were pure white roses, starry blooms, and horseshoe orchids among other precious flowers symbolizing happiness.

Balloons floated in the air while the buffet-style long tables were laden with all sorts of exquisite and delicious food.

Luxurious crystal chandeliers above cast a dazzling and brilliant light.

The coming and going guests were all in high spirits, chatting and laughing.

Mr. Cheng, Madam Zhao, and the Xue couple were busy greeting the guests.

Cheng Youyou was still in the makeup room.

She had been dressed by the stylist in a mermaid-style cocktail dress.

The custom-fitted dress hugged her graceful figure, and delicate pearl earrings dangled from her petite earlobes, swaying slightly with her steps like diamonds on the blue sea.

The girl’s face was especially exquisite and three-dimensional, and the slightly heavier makeup added an air of authority to her presence, making it hard for anyone to look away.

Her hair was swept up, leaving only a curl dangling on either side.

"Sis, you look really beautiful today!" Cheng Feifei stayed by her side, complimenting her with a beam.

Heh... I wonder if she’ll still look this good after having a kidney dug out, being tricked out of money, and then dumped!

Cheng Feifei sneered to herself internally.

Cheng Youyou also smiled, "When it’s time for your engagement, you’ll look beautiful too!"

Oh, wait, that’s not right. After today, whether she’ll be able to marry into a good family is still uncertain!

After all, prestigious families do care a great deal about the reputation of their future daughters-in-law.

"You two stop chatting and hurry up, come out now, the ceremony is about to start." At this moment, Madam Zhao entered with a beaming smile, looking so happy, anyone unaware would probably think she truly regarded Cheng Youyou as her own daughter.

After responding to Madam Zhao, Cheng Youyou came downstairs with Cheng Feifei.

As she descended, the entire place fell silent, with everyone lifting their heads to gaze upon her and catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Under the watchful eyes of so many, the girl did not show the slightest sign of nervousness or stage fright, displaying only calmness and tranquility.

It seemed as if this engagement meant nothing to her.

In contrast, Cheng Feifei smiled as if she were the star of the day.

When Youyou was about to step off the last stair, Mr. Xue, who was waiting for her below, immediately reached out his hand, "Youyou, you look truly beautiful today."

Today’s Mr. Xue wore a black suit, exuding a confident and handsome aura.

Cheng Youyou glanced at him but didn’t intend to take his hand to step down; as she was considering how to subtly avoid his gesture, suddenly the surrounding crowd began to gasp in shock—

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu!"

Someone shouted the name, and in an instant, all eyes turned toward the entrance of the hall.

Cheng Youyou and Mr. Xue were no exceptions.

Especially Youyou, who looked bewilderedly at the man strolling in.

Why is he here?

Wasn’t it agreed that he wouldn’t come until after the event was over, and then she would go to meet him?
