At the banquet hall.

The parties held by big families were usually grand and elaborate. Mostly

Meyett and Madam André we’re conversing while the younger ones

occasionally joined in.

Meyett politely asked Madam André about her health before his gaze landed on

He Yidu, who sat next to her. “Young Master He, are you here to visit Madam

André

He was quite surprised to see He Yidu here today. Knowing that the latter was

one of Lu Chengzhou’s men, he found it highly inappropriate for him to be

present since this was a gathering between the two families-especially if he

Was going to talk business here.

Meyett thought it would be more reasonable if Gu Mang had sent someone out

of worry for her friend’s marriage. However, what he didn’t know was that the

earliest members of the Shadow League never asked each other about their

backgrounds. Hence, Gu Mang had no idea of Lin Shuang’s princess identity.

Madam André smiled and took the opportunity to introduce her grandson to

the others. “Mr. President, Princess Xixi, this is my grandson, He Yidu.”

She had a proud look on her face when mentioning He Yidu’s name, which was

rare considering that she rarely showed her emotions.

Meyett was stunned.

Madam André then held An Rong’s hand and patted it. “Tve never released any

news about this daughter of mine to the public because I didn’t want to disturb

her current life.” Besides, given Yidu’s current influence and background, the

Deiss family is dispensable to him. In fact, we receiveda lot of his help in the

past two years. Country D’s political and commercial worlds are complicated as

they are, and the He family holds a special status in the capital because they’re

in the same faction as the Lu family. If this relationship is exposed, we’ll surely

invite a lot of trouble and gossip from people of all walks of life.

He Yidu politely nodded in Meyett’s direction. “Uncle.”

Meyett smiled and nodded back. Although he showed no emotions on his face,

he was squeezing his fingers slightly. That explains why our intelligence

bureau couldn’t find any information on the Deiss family’s grandson. It turned

out to be He Yidu.

This news came as a huge and pleasant surprise to Meyett, who had initially

only thought about being connected with the Deiss family through marriage. A

wide smile spread across his face. “What a coincidence. Xixi and Yidu probably

didn’t even know that they’ve been engaged to one another”

Madam André was surprised to hear that. She looked at He Yidu and then at Lin

Shuang. “Yidu and Xixi.. know each other?”

Meyett nodded. “They were Young Master Lu and Young Madam Lu’s

groomsman and bridesmaid.”

The Deiss family had sent their duke and princess to attend Lu Chengzhou and

Gu Mang’s wedding. Their wedding was on such a grand scale that big shots

from all over the world had come to congratulate them. As such, honorable

titles like duke and princess were nothing fancy in comparison.

On top of that, the groomsman and bridesmaid only had to toast to the elders

at the first few tables. Hence, not many people knew that Lin Shuang was the

bridesmaid.

Out of everyone present, only Meyett, He Zhiwen, and An Rong knew that Lin

Shuang and He Yidu knew each other.

Groomsman and bridesmaid? Madam André suddenly recalled An Rong

mentioning to her in their recent video call about Ms. Lin being Young Madam

Lu’s friend, the hijacking of planes, and her grandson getting jilted. Earlier,

Princess Xixi suddenly wanted to leave..

After joining all the pieces together, Madam André realized what was going on

and glanced sideways at He Yidu. That explains why he suddenly changed his

mind about coming here after hearing that his fiancée is the eldest princess of

the President’s house. But then.. An Rong also said that Ms. Lin, or rather

Princess Xixi, doesn’t seem to like Yidu.

At the thought of that, she looked at Lin Shuang. “Princess Xixi.”

Lin Shuang, who had been behaving as if she had lost her soul from the

moment she found out that He Yidu was her fiancé, jolted back to her senses

when she heard her name. Her eyes gradually focused, only to meet He Yidu’s

teasing yet arrogant and confident gaze. She clenched her fists.

Madam André beckoned Lin Shuang with a gentle smile. “Come sit next to me,

Princess Xixi.”

Since Madam André was an elder that Lin Shuang’s mother respected a lot, she

couldn’t refuse her. After releasing her fists and breathing in slightly, Lin

Shuang stood up and walked over while maintaining a respectful and polite

smile on her face.

An Rong hurriedly and eagerly gave up her seat for Lin Shuang.

“Thank you,” Lin Shuang said to her before nodding to Madam André.

Madam André held Lin Shuang’s hands and carefully studied her exquisite face.

She became increasingly fonder of the young lady the more she looked at her.

“Princess Xixi”

“Just call me Xixi,” said Lin Shuang in an elegant and disciplined tone. All her

actions carried the poise and etiquette of a princess.

He Yidu couldn’t help but find it amusing since he hadn’t seen this side of Lin

Shuang before. He looked down slightly and subconsciously moved to push his

glasses up, only to realize that he wasn’t wearing one. When his fingers

touched his brow bone, the amusement in his eyes grew.

Madam André nodded. “Are you close to Yidu, Xixi?”

With a smile on her face, Lin Shuang didn’t hesitate to say no.

He Yidu narrowed his eyes, and An Rong was speechless. They’ve slept

together, and yet she says she’s not close to him?

Seeing how resistant Lin Shuang looked, Madam André knew that it wouldn’t

be easy for the marriage to go through. Still, she didn’t give up just like that.

“You can get to know each other. This grandson of mine is pretty good.”

Lin Shuang didn’t know what to reply to that, especially since she hadn’t

expected her fiancé to be He Yidu. D*mn it! What’s with this ill-fated

relationship?!

“Although his background isn’t as good as yours, he’s good-looking, easy to get

along with, has a gentle and mild nature, and knows how to take care of

people,” said Madam André with utmost patience.

Gentle? Bullsh *t! A bunch of NSFW images suddenly appeared in Lin Shuang’s

mind, which made her shoot a death glare at He Yidu. She was irked by the

smile on his face and how calm and relaxed he appeared. Taking a deep breath,

she pursed her lips before saying, “Madam André, 1

Meyett knew his daughter very well. Be it before coming here or when she was

about to leave earlier, she has already agreed to this marriage arrangement. Yet

now. it appears that she wants to call it off.
