Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Who Will Comfort My Injured Little Heart? Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Who Will Comfort My Injured Little Heart? Xi Yue said, “Look, Ye Junqing is really thoughtful, knowing you’ve always been looking for this painting, and now he’s found it and sent it back. It’s our engagement token painting! For his filial piety alone, why don’t you attend his engagement party in a few days?”

“Hmph, I absolutely will not go.”

But despite her protest, on the day of Ye Junqing’s engagement, Chen Fengdu got up early and called a makeup team over to do Xi Yue’s makeup, even buying her an extremely expensive gown. He wanted his beloved Xi Yue to be the most beautiful woman there.

Ye Xingguang’s engagement party, held at his home, was anything but simple. Ye Junqing certainly didn’t want to disappoint his little mermaid.

Outside the high-walled and grand Ye’s Family estate, the Ye’s security personnel set up a lengthy isolation zone. Many media personnel loitered outside the perimeter, peeking in, but they could only watch as luxury cars zoomed past one after another, entering the Ye’s compound.

Only KOCO TV, having good relations and leveraging its proximity, was allowed into Ye’s estate to provide coverage.

Chang Qinghua and some reporters from the station set up their camera at the villa courtyard’s check-in area for Ye Xingguang and started a live broadcast. As each car stopped, they put the exiting guests on camera and gave a corresponding introduction.

Many netizens, having nothing better to do, were watching the KOCO TV live broadcast, listening to the reporter’s introductions of the distinguished guests–individuals they usually could never catch a glimpse of. The online audience was thrilled…

“My god, look, Mr. Gu and Madam Shen are in the same frame! They got out of the same car, and these are two people who’ve been divorced for years! Recently, a reporter leaked that Mr. Gu is wooing Madam Shen, wanting to rekindle an old flame. Seeing them now, it’s clear these weren’t baseless rumors! Both are towering figures in the music industry, and they’re attending Ye Junqing’s engagement party? What’s their connection?”

At that moment, Madam Shen was being interviewed by Chang Qinghua and she directly addressed the netizens’ curiosity: “It’s my goddaughter’s engagement party. How could I possibly not come?”

The netizens exploded again: “Oh my, the mermaid girl is Madam Shen’s goddaughter?!!!”

As if that wasn’t sensational enough, immediately after, the netizens saw the Yanbei couple step out of their car with their daughter, respectfully opening another car door to help an elderly gentleman out.

When the gentleman emerged, the guests inside the house, who were whispering to each other, all looked outside in disbelief. Wasn’t that Mr. Zhuo? Mr. Zhuo wasn’t someone just anyone could invite; yet, he was here attending Ye Junqing’s engagement party?

Chang Qinghua swiftly approached to interview Mr. Zhuo.

Mr. Zhuo, not one to enjoy media interviews, didn’t seem to mind this time around and even said: “It’s my goddaughter’s engagement party, and as her grandfather, how could I not be here?”

The netizens, feeling deceived, were in shock: “!!!!!”

“Her biological father is the Crown Prince of S Country, her godmother is a towering figure in the music industry, and her godfather is the highly respected political figure Mr. Zhuo. Who was it that told me the Mermaid Girl just got lucky? Step forward, I was so naive! I actually believed that if I went to the civil affairs bureau to draw lots, maybe I could also strike it lucky and snag one of those wealthy bachelors on the list of confirmed bachelors? And here I was, sharing the Mermaid Girl’s posts every day hoping to get single! Who’s going to console my wounded little heart?”
