Wen Qing was feeling a little depressed.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Gao Yingli just hastily held a welcoming banquet for her without even a warm greeting.

Now he even left the banquet in the middle of it.

Wen Qing knew that there might be a problem between them.

"Sister Qing, Brother Li has been a bit busy with the company lately, and he's often acting weird, please don't mind."

Jiang Ye called out several times before Wen Qing came back to her senses and managed to raise the corners of her mouth and said, "I understand."

Jiang Ye paid close attention to Wen Qing's expression and kept looking for new topics to divert Wen Qing's attention and make her happy again.

The others understood what he meant and started chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere soon became lively again.

Wen Qing listened attentively for a while, and suddenly asked: "I have not been in the country in the past few years. Did anything happen to Yingli's family?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent instantly.

Wen Qing immediately noticed something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you talking? Did something happen at Yingli's company?"

The reason he left just now was because he was busy with company affairs.

"What could it be?" Jiang Ye said quickly, "Sister Qing, don't worry too much. Brother Li has this bad habit every few days. When he recovers in a couple of days, he will come to apologize to you in person."

Wen Qing knew that she couldn't get anything out of Jiang Ye, so she simply stopped asking.

She noticed that Lu Huai was standing not far from the crowd, with a strange look on his face.

She immediately came to Lu Huai.

"Lu Huai, long time no see."

"Indeed, it's been almost six years." Lu Huai said, raising the glass in his hand towards her, "Cheers to our goddess who has returned with such strength."

Before Wen Qing returned to China, she won a prize in an international piano competition and was invited by the royal family of King E to perform at a palace banquet.

When this news spread back to China, all the elders in the circle praised Wen Qing highly. Gao's mother couldn't help herself and just wanted to settle on this daughter-in-law as soon as possible, fearing that she would be snatched away by someone else.

Even the elders of the Lu family were talking about this matter. Mother Lu even complained to Lu Huai, "You all grew up together, how come Yingli can marry Wen Qing, but you can only be a best man?"

Lu Huai didn't have any romantic feelings for Wen Qing, but he did admire her.

To be honest, he felt that it was a bit unfair for such a dignified and elegant Wen Qing to be paired with Gao Yingli.

But he and Gao Yingli had grown up together, and he really couldn't do anything bad about him behind his back, so he could only remain silent.

Wen Qing chatted with Lu Huai for a few sentences, during which she kept asking about Gao Yingli intentionally or unintentionally, but Lu Huai always changed the subject calmly.

Seeing that Wen Qing cared too much about Gao Yingli, Lu Huai felt a little bit reluctant.

"Qingqing, we grew up together, so we should be able to talk about anything. But you have to understand that people's hearts are fickle, and there is nothing in this world that is eternal and unchanging. What's more..."

Lu Huai paused for a moment before continuing, "You've been abroad for so many years, and a lot of things have happened in Hai City."

Just as Wen Qing was about to continue asking, Jiang Ye came over and asked with a smile what they were talking about.

"Sister Qing, you and I have a better relationship, why are you only chatting with Lu Huai?"

Lu Huai shut up at the right time, smiled faintly, raised the wine glass in his hand towards Jiang Ye, and turned to walk towards the other side of the circle.

After that, Wen Qing was a little absent-minded. After finally waiting until the end of the banquet, she immediately found a private detective.

She had no intention of investigating Gao Yingli.

But she has been away from the country for so many years, and things and people have changed. She always wants to know what happened.

She still loves Gao Yingli, but as soon as she returns to China, her parents urge her to get along well with Gao Yingli and hint that she should marry into the Gao family as soon as possible.

She had to find out if this was a suitable marriage partner.
