The lawn in the manor was packed with guests, who were all members of the upper class in the city .
Lu Zhaoyang got herself a glass of fruit juice and studied the crowd idly .
As former chief secretary of Thunderbolt Corp, many of them were familiar to her .
She endured small talks with the other guests and soon gleaned that Mu Xian’s bride was not only a movie star, but also the designated heir of Fu Financial, the bank run by their family .
Both families had come together to arrange their marriage .
Politically motivated unions were commonplace in the upper class society . Lu Zhaoyang was surprised only by the fact that Mu Xian had chosen to accept it .
The sun was glaring hot . Lu Zhaoyang hid in a shaded corner to keep herself cool .
The ceremony was about to begin .
Ye Zhiyu was the most pitiful victim as a result of this marriage . What would she do now?
Lu Zhaoyang took another sip of fruit juice and felt someone tap on her shoulder . “Ah?”
“It’s me!” Wen He smiled in greeting . “Dear lil’ miss from downstairs, do you remember me?”
“You… Weren’t you captured? How did you escape?”
Lu Zhaoyang was instantly wary . This woman must be very capable if she could escape from Chen .
She was about to walk away from Wen He grabbed her wrist .
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble . You and I have no history, so I have no reason to harm you . ”
Lu Zhaoyang’s chest tightened . “Are you here for Huo Yunting?”
“No, no, no . I’m just here for the wedding . Have you forgotten that I am a girl group leader under Su Cheng? The bride is in the same line of work as me, so I thought of coming to have a look . ”
The truth was, Wen He was howling with joy inside!
Now that she had Lu Zhaoyang, she would be able to threaten Huo Chen to let her go .
In fact, they were here to find Chen Jiu . The guy had gone rogue and accepted a job in the city . He must be having a death wish!
Huo Chen had discovered the means of communication between Chen Jiu and his employer, so he came here to arrest the man .
Of course, Lu Zhaoyang would not simply believe everything Wen He just said .
“Aren’t you afraid that I will tell Huo Chen where you are now? Or are you using me for some other purpose? I do not think it is a good idea for you to use me to threaten either Huo Yunting or Huo Chen . No one will emerge the winner . Since you have escaped, why don’t you just leave this place? You don’t need to worry about Bai too, he’s doing well on his own . Isn’t it better to just leave the past behind?”
Wen He always liked smart people, and Lu Zhaoyang had earned her respect .
“Don’t think too much, woman . ” She circled an arm around her waist and raised an eyebrow teasingly . “Come, follow me . ”
Lu Zhaoyang refused to move . “It is crowded here . Are you sure you can kidnap me without anyone noticing?”
“I didn’t say anything about taking you away . Do you hear the music? The wedding ceremony is about to begin . I just wanted to go see the couple with you . ”
Wen He looked her up and down . “There’s no need to be nervous . If I really wanted to manhandle you, you know that you cannot stop me . ”
Lu Zhaoyang thought that there was nothing else worth saying between them . She headed toward the crowd .
With so many people around them, Wen He would probably not try anything funny .
When they took their place, the bride and groom were already walking the red carpet .
Lu Zhaoyang stood with the rest of the guests and watched, but her attention was solely on the man walking behind the groom — Huo Yunting .
