Chapter 879: Uninvited Guest 2
Chapter 879: Uninvited Guest 2
Halfway through the wedding, Fengjue hurried over and whispered something to Mo Yinhe. Mo Yinhe’s face suddenly turned cold, like a sudden cold wave, his presence chilling.
Si Mingjing, sitting beside him, sensed his change in mood and asked, "What’s happening?"
The last wedding incident left a bad taste, and no one wanted any mishap this time.
Mo Yinhe’s gaze narrowed, and he snorted, "Nothing, just an uninvited guest."
"Who?"
Si Mingjing asked not Mo Yinhe, but Fengjue.
Fengjue said, "The Crown Princess Consort, it’s Qu Liushang. He made a grand entrance at the manor gates, now surrounded by journalists who want to catch a glimpse of this ruler of another undersea empire. Qu Liushang is outside accepting interviews, claiming he’s an old friend of His Highness the Crown Prince, and despite being busy, he came to have a drink at his sister’s wedding."
Si Mingjing frowned deeply, that guy’s face healed fast?
Making an intentional public appearance, it’s hard to just kick him out!
That guy is also sly.
Si Mingjing knew Mo Yinhe was upset, and she was equally displeased, standing up, she said, "A guest is a guest, shall we go greet them?"
Mo Yinhe was pulled up by her, and they went to the manor’s entrance to greet the "distinguished guest."
Lit by the journalists’ flashlights was a man with an elegant stance, a presence prioritizing naturalness, a meticulously tailored black suit enhancing his noble aura, paired with a scholarly face, indeed, exceptionally stunning.
The photographers didn’t want to miss the close-up opportunity, especially as Qu Liushang seemed approachable, smiling, welcoming all.
Seeing Mo Yinhe and Si Mingjing come out side by side, Qu Liushang stepped out from the press encirclement, approaching them.
"Qu Liushang." A reporter caught the scene from a distance, Si Mingjing smiled and exchanged pleasantries, her voice low, "Long time no see, your face healed quite fast, forgetting the pain after the scar heals?"
"Ajiu, I must thank you for your medicine." Qu Liushang took a gift box from his guard, saying, "This is to repay you for the medicine, I’ve always remembered it."
Si Mingjing didn’t accept it, only glanced behind at Fengjue.
Fengjue stepped forward to take the gift.
Qu Liushang then greeted the cold Mo Yinhe, again retrieving a congratulatory gift from his guard, saying, "Missing your sister’s wedding last time, I came specifically tonight to offer congratulations, won’t you invite me in for a celebratory drink?"
Mo Yinhe’s deep voice was a forced smile, his eyes cold, "You came, of course, I must invite you in for a drink, after all, you’re a brother of many years."
Mo Yinhe gestured for invitation, not wanting to show anything before the media, then turned to walk inside.
Fengjue took another of Qu Liushang’s gift boxes, following behind.
As the three entered the banquet hall, Ye Shen stood up suddenly, rushing forward impulsively, itching to punch Qu Liushang for having the nerve to attend his sister’s wedding!
Si Mingjing gave Ye Shen a look, signaling him not to act impulsively, and said with a smile, "Asheng, a guest is a guest, could you find a seat for Mr. Qu?"
"I need to find him a seat?" Ye Shen glared at the scholarly harmless face of Qu Liushang, clenching his fists, "I’d rather splash water on his face than accommodate him; he’s only the king of the weakest undersea country anyway, while my sister-in-law is the Queen of the strongest country, truly doesn’t flaunt her status."
Qu Liushang’s expression changed slightly.
Mo Yinhe’s hands were in his pockets, usually finding Ye Shen rash, now he felt differently, even smiled, "Sorry, my brother is just straightforward."
"Straightforward, not rude." Mo Yinhe complimented his brother.
Qu Liushang’s annoyance dissipated quickly, he responded indifferently with a smile, "Ye Shen is still the same, your uncle must worry about his precious daughter’s marriage every day."
Ye Shen clenched his fists tighter!
Mo Yinhe didn’t want further argument, lazily said, "Backhanded brothers, this way please."
Si Mingjing tugged at Ye Shen, whispered something, making him contain his frustrations, snorted, and went to do his sister-in-law’s bidding.
Qu Liushang was seated in a significant position, at a table with A Country’s President Lu Zhanyuan and Ye Shen’s father-in-law, S Country’s ruler Leng Chenmo.
Given Qu Liushang’s current status, he could only be placed here.
Otherwise, Mo Yinhe would prefer to tuck him away in a corner, avoiding displeasure; his visit was just to frustrate them, especially since he had no prior notice of Qu Liushang coming to A Country.
Mostly likely arrived via an arbitrary door, so Mo Yinhe couldn’t guard against it.
Lu Zhanyuan and Leng Chenmo were quite willing to dine with Qu Liushang, even had a pleasant talk, leading to thoughts of establishing diplomatic relations.
Qu Liushang was open to establishing diplomacy with land countries, just like Mo Yinhe had.
Indeed, he intended to emulate Mo Yinhe.
Ye Shen wasn’t wrong, Gendaya Country is the weakest undersea kingdom, wanting a strategic shift and revitalization, diplomacy with land countries is a wise choice, Mo Yinhe is a successful example.
There’s a ready-made template for him, not copying it would be foolish.
Five minutes after Ye Shen left, he returned excitedly, approached Si Mingjing spiritedly saying, "Sister-in-law, I’ve arranged everything you instructed, you truly are clever, tonight we must teach Qu Liushang a lesson."
Si Mingjing splashed cold water, "Don’t be too sure, Qu Liushang is clever."
Despite being a fervent fan of Si Mingjing, Ye Shen snorted, "So what, as long as sister-in-law gets involved, I refuse to believe Qu Liushang will leave our home unstained tonight! He dares to repeatedly provoke us, we must make him unhappy, or he’ll assume we’re all paper tigers!"
After some socializing, Mo Yinhe returned, overhearing Ye Shen’s words, asked, "Discussing what?"
"Nothing." Ye Shen deliberately kept it a secret.
Then pointed to the stage, "Second sister is about to toss the bouquet; wonder who will catch it?"
Ye Siyuan on stage prepared to throw the bouquet, underneath gathered many young singles, all vying eagerly for luck, the scene lively.
Ye Shen ate while commenting, "It’s useless to compete, my sister’s already decided to whom she’ll pass the happiness, just watch her back towards everyone, and see if she can aim accurately."
Intrigued by Ye Shen’s words, Si Mingjing asked, "Si Yuan intends to pass the bouquet to whom?"
