Chapter 162: Someone Like Him Will Never Notice An Unremarkable Person Like You
Mu Siyin frowned. She looked determined when she said, “Nothing matters as long as two people love each other.”
“Fine!”
Lu Jingchen nodded his head and looked at her. “Then tell me this. Why didn’t he bring you here if he likes you so much?”
Mu Siyin was suddenly at a loss for words.
“Of course, I believe that he likes you now too. I also understand that it wasn’t his intention to invite all these young ladies. But he didn’t bring you here. What does that say about him?
“It shows that he has to respect his family’s views. That’s why I said that being in love is not a two-person thing. As long as his family doesn’t give you their blessings, you’ll never be happy if you end up with him.”
Mu Siyin’s body stiffened as she clenched her fists tightly. Her gaze dropped, and her voice cracked. “Stop talking, Cuz.”
“Too much to take?”
“I—”
Mu Siyin had just uttered a word when she was interrupted by a scream. It came from a lady who was standing in the middle of the banquet. “Oh my God! Which one is Master Shi? They all look so handsome!”
The entire crowd stirred up instantly.
Mu Siyin turned her head and noticed a few people walking down the stairs.
The small stampede of men was led by Mother Shi. However, the person next to her was Shi Mo instead of Shi Beiyu.
Closely following behind her were Huo Sikai, Shi Ran, and Leng Jiuchen.
The last one was… Shi Beiyu.
All of these men were walking Gods. The only thing different between them was their vibes.
Shi Mo was an elegant, mature, yet introverted gentleman.
Huo Sikai looked dashing, chic, and dandy.
Shi Ran was sultry and looked like a bad influence.
Leng Jiuchen was proud yet stern, giving off a ruthless presence.
Shi Beiyu was cold and restrained, looking heartless yet looked respectable at the same time.
It was a night to remember for all these women in the hall. They probably would daydream and fawn over the five men after that night.
The young ladies were so excited that they could faint. Shi Beiyu aside, it did not seem too bad if the other four men picked them instead. If that happened, it probably meant that their ancestors were blessing them from the Heavens.
Those who had never met Shi Beiyu would definitely mistake Shi Mo for him. After all, Shi Mo was the one walking next to Mother Shi.
That was also why most girls had their eyes on Shi Mo more than the other four.
After all, it was Shi Beiyu who wanted to pick a fiancee.
As if he had noticed this, Shi Mo turned his head slightly and raised his eyebrows at Shi Beiyu.
It looked like these women had got it all wrong.
There was nothing the crowd could do but stare. Since it was still not the time for introductions, Mother Shi led the men to Old Master Shi’s direction.
Mu Siyin’s eyes looked through the crowd and landed on Shi Beiyu. His admirers fawned over him as he walked past her coldly in a God-like fashion. Her heart instantly turned bitter.
Lu Jingchen decided to add more salt to her wounds. “Did you see that? Someone like him would never notice an unremarkable person like you.”
When Mu Siyin did not reply, he continued to say, “I’m a man, Yinyin. Men are all the same. If Grandpa had organized a blind date banquet for me right now, I would still oblige even if I didn’t want to.”
Mu Siyin looked into his eyes as she did not understand his words. “Why?”
Lu Jingchen answered as a matter of course, “It’s because of family and responsibility. Women only come in after that.”
Mu Siyin retorted, “That’s because you have never loved someone before.”
Lu Jingchen burst out laughing. “What love? Let’s say Shi Beibu really does love you. Then, why did he join this banquet when he knew that all these women were here for him?”
