Love You Till the End-Chapter 876 - 874: Truly Tasteless to the Extreme

Su Manning’s engagement party is to be held in three days.

In an exceedingly luxurious hotel, hundreds of dining tables are arranged, with layers of champagne glasses stacked upwards on the central dining table.

Guests dressed in lavish attire stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows, holding wine glasses as they chat loudly, while the dazzling lights above illuminate every corner of the hall.

Su Jiuyi stands in a seldom populated corner, just in front of a dining table. Having skipped lunch to afford the rental of her gown, she’s now quite hungry.

She glances around, noticing everyone engaged in conversation with those around them, and realizing no one is paying attention to her, she picks a few pastries and grabs a glass of orange juice. As she sips, she surveys the hotel.

It’s said this hotel is owned by the Song Family, and both its interior and exterior exude an aristocratic air, with splendid decorations that are dazzling. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Truly, who knows where Su Zhenxiong gets his skills to climb such social ladders.

Su Jiuyi shakes her head and drains the orange juice in her glass.

At this moment, Song Zhike and Su Manning appear on the stage in the hall.

The flowing music halts, and the lights are intentionally dimmed, the glaring fluorescent lights becoming soft and slow. Various shadows float across the creamy walls, with the surrounding lights casting dim and indistinct shadows.

Su Jiuyi takes in Su Manning, who wears a light pink lace gown, her thick black hair styled into casual waves that cascade down, her delicate makeup accentuating her already charming features.

Very beautiful.

Then she looks at Song Zhike beside her, tall and outstanding, unlike those overweight wealthy men at nightclubs. His tall frame is accompanied by striking handsomeness, a high nose with lips slightly curved, warm and gentle yet bearing a hint of arrogance.

Truly quite handsome.

Su Jiuyi shrugs in admiration.

She changes her orange juice for red wine, sitting in a dark corner, watching the bustling crowd but feeling distinctively lonely.

She doesn’t mind; after all, she’s only here as a formality. Though she’s the Su family’s eldest daughter, even she scorns such a superficial identity, let alone anyone else.

The girls at the banquet are all dressed in radiant attire, wearing different colored long dresses that are either sexy, pure, or enchanting.

They navigate among men in suits, engaging in joyful conversations. It’s unclear which humorous young man told a joke, causing the girls to laugh charmingly.

However, none of this concerns Su Jiuyi; she only hopes for it to end soon, as Qi Jingren is covering her night shift today. Even though Qi Jingren agreed willingly, she still feels somewhat guilty.

Before long, Su Zhenxiong and Zhao Shuya also appear on stage at the front of the hall, standing with the Song Family parents in the center.

The two parties exchange courteous smiles, appearing harmonious on the surface, yet it is only a matter of keeping appearances.

This engagement is merely a token for business cooperation. Among these marriage alliances between business elites, how many are truly joined for love?

To put it bluntly, it’s all about underlying interests, with matching social status and mutual utility.

Seeing Zhao Shuya adorned in gold and silver, dressed so flamboyantly, Su Jiuyi only feels her reeking of vulgarity, utterly tasteless to the extreme.

After a few simple introductions, the banquet reaches its climax. All the men and women pair up to dance in the center of the hall, the light of the glass lamps shining on them as if coated with gold.
