Chapter 116 - A Perfect Match
Chapter 116: A Perfect Match
It was the fifteen of April and S City’s Phoenix Hotel was bustling with people.
The hotel entrance was decorated with a beautiful floral arch with a golden signboard on the right with the words ‘Wishing Mr. Gu Zihang and Miss Su Yurou an eternity of love and happiness.’
A dazzling red carpet paved the way from the hotel entrance, with the feel of an artistic conception of The Red Dowry. The guests who attended the engagement party arrived in a continuous stream.
If one were to look closely, one would notice that those who attended the party were all respected personages.
“Madam Du, congratulations! Your son and Miss Su Yurou of Sheng Yuan Group are a perfect match!”
“Yes, I believe they will soon be married!”
Gu Zihang’s mother, Du Huimin, stood at the entrance of the hotel to exchange greetings with the guests who came.
“Thank you for attending Zihang’s engagement party. Please have a seat inside.”
She was past forty but with proper maintenance, Du Huimin, who was wearing a red floral cheongsam, looked like a woman in her thirties. With the slanting of her willow-like eyebrows and sparkling eyes, she had the arrogant air of a noble woman even if she was just standing with her arms crossed.
Du Huimin was completely at ease as she responded to people’s well wishes.
“Hello, Aunty Du.” A gentle female voice suddenly caused a change in her face.
Wasn’t this voice…
Surprise crept into Du Huimin’s eyes. She turned around and unexpectedly, she saw Su Wan. She thought Su Wan would not come today. Even if she were to attend, her look would not be this calm.
Du Huimin stared at Su Wan and frowned. On the other hand, Su Wan had a faint smile and allowed Du Huimin to examine her. She was at ease.
Du Huimin examined Su Wan from head to toe. Su Wan did not look like she was about to create chaos.
Su Wan was wearing a beige-colored blouse with loose sleeves with a crimson long silk skirt. Her black long hair was let loose, draping over her shoulders leisurely. She had light make up on and even her bangs were a little messy.
Today, Su Wan looked as if she was dressed for a weekend appointment with her good friend. This kind of dressing in a formal party appeared to be overly plain and would be difficult to attract attention.
Du Huimin let her guard down. Su Wan might have recognized the situation. Now that she was alone and weak, she could neither hold on to her ex-fiancé nor the assets that her parents had kept for her.
At this thought, sympathy flowed through Du Huimin’s eyes. Then, she nodded arrogantly.
“Wan, since you’re here, please be seated inside. We will be family from now on.”
After Su Wan heard this, she looked down. A touch of ridicule flashed through her initially calm eyes.
Family?
First, they destroyed her engagement, and then, they plotted with her cousin’s family against her to take over her inheritance.
Was this the so-called family?
Looking at Du Huimin, who had turned around to greet other guests, Su Wan’s smile disappeared. She marched into the hall of the hotel.
At the same time, on the seventh floor in Phoenix Hotel, Su Yurou was dressing up and getting herself ready.
Today was a big day for her. Su Yurou would not allow anyone to steal her limelight. Hence, she got herself the best stylist and put on the finest makeup to make herself the most beautiful woman among those who would be present today.
“Goodness, Yurou, your beauty would surpass all flowers today! I think you look more dazzling than celebrities on television!”
“You look extremely beautiful. Yurou, you will be a goddess today!”
The girls who surrounded Su Yurou couldn’t help marveling at her beauty. They felt Su Yurou looked extremely pretty today. Even if they were of the same gender, they could not regain their senses for a long time!
“You are exaggerating.”
When Su Yurou heard the words of praise, she was very pleased within but what she showed on her face was bashfulness and a humble smile.
As she spoke, she stood up and stared at the elegant and graceful figure in the mirror.
The woman in the mirror had red lips and jade-like skin. She was wearing an exquisite and gorgeous wedding gown, showing off her long neck, beautiful shoulders, and the rounded peaks a little lower.
This wedding gown was custom made according to Su Yurou’s figure. The gown fitted her well and it brought out her graceful body.
Su Yurou was satisfied with herself. Her smile deepened and her incomparable face was like the blooming of cherry blossoms, making people immerse in her beauty uncontrollably.
“Yurou, let’s go down.”
When Su Yurou heard the deep, magnetic voice, she turned and a gentle but bashful smile appeared on her face.
The person who came in was Gu Zihang. The sight of the beautiful figure went into his eyes and instantly, his eyes lit up. There was an obvious look of amazement on his face.
How beautiful!
Although he had been with her every day, Gu Zihang still could not take his eyes off Su Yurou, who had elaborately dressed up.
Su Yurou could see Gu Zihang’s amazement. She smiled radiantly as she quickly linked her arms with his and nestled in his embrace.
Feeling satisfied, Gu Zihang hugged his beautiful fiancée and started walking.
At that moment, joy filled the hall of the Phoenix Hotel.
The master of ceremony stood on the stage and when he saw the couple appearing on the staircase, he took the microphone and gave a warm speech.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the main characters of the engagement party have arrived! Please welcome Mr. Gu Zihang and Miss Su Yurou! Look, aren’t they a match made in heaven?”
With his voice still echoing, the guests turned toward the couple at the staircase.
When the couple entered their vision, there was a moment of silence and the guests’ eyes filled with amazement and admiration.
Su Yurou was naturally beautiful after deliberate dressing up and putting on make up, and the guests did not want to look away. On the other hand, Gu Zihang, who was standing beside her, was undoubtedly outstanding!
Gu Zihang was the school hunk during high school. He was handsome and today, in the silver black tuxedo, he looked taller and more dignified in appearance.
Every gesture of his was compelling and he indeed fulfilled every young girl’s image of prince charming!
The dazzling young couple left the guests muddleheaded and almost unable to regain their senses!
Someone took a gasp of air and praised loudly, “A match made in heaven!”
Right after that, the guests burst into an enthusiastic applause. They thought silently that their presence was worthwhile. They believed that the headlines for tomorrow’s major newspaper would be about the engagement party of Gu Zihang and Su Yurou!
This couple had been given preferential treatment by the heavens!
One was the young CEO of Gu Group and the other was the pretty heir of Sheng Yuan Group. No wonder it was a match made in heaven!
