When I was just reborn, I was sold for 300 yuan.

The Lantern Festival of 1980 was the day Cheng Beize and Li Huan held their wedding in Xiangcheng.

The Cheng family held a grand wedding for the two in Hong Kong. Not only did almost everyone in Hong Kong's high society attend, but the Cheng family also invited most of Hong Kong's entertainment industry stars to perform songs and dances for the wedding. It can be said that Cheng Beize and Li Huan's wedding was extremely grand and luxurious. Su Qing also took the opportunity of this wedding to witness the prosperity of Hong Kong's entertainment industry in the 1970s and 1980s, and even met many Hong Kong stars who would become well-known in later generations.

This time, Su Qing also met Meng Chenghui, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Counting it up, it had been more than half a year since they last met in Beijing. Su Qing hadn't met Meng Chenghui when she last came to Xiangcheng either. This time, Su Qing was really surprised. The Meng Chenghui in front of her was no longer the playboy she remembered.

The person in front of her seemed more composed and mature than she had imagined.

"Su Qing, it's been a long time." Meng Chenghui raised the glass of red wine in his hand to Su Qing.

"Long time no see." Su Qing smiled faintly. "I heard from Yan Jing last time that you got married. I haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Meng Chenghui smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. Su Qing pretended not to notice. She didn't have much interaction with Meng Chenghui, and she had even rejected him before. So, she only needed to maintain basic courtesy.

Su Qing nodded slightly to Meng Chenghui and was about to find an excuse to leave when she heard Meng Chenghui say, "My older brother died in a car accident last year."

Su Qing was taken aback upon hearing this. She knew a little about the Meng family from An Zhihan. The eldest son of the Meng family, Meng Chengyao, was the family heir and in charge of family affairs, while Meng Chenghui, as the youngest son of the Meng family, naturally only needed to eat, drink, and have fun.

However, now the eldest son of the Meng family has passed away...

Su Qing recalled hearing the news of Meng Chenghui's sudden marriage last year, and she understood somewhat: "I'm sorry to hear about your older brother in this way."

Sure enough, Meng Chenghui said softly, "My elder brother is gone, so I have to take on the family's responsibilities. A marriage alliance is the best way."

Su Qing's eyebrows twitched slightly. Was Meng Chenghui explaining something to her?

Then Meng Chenghui continued softly, "Su Qing, my feelings haven't changed, but... in the end, I hope you will be happy in the future."

Su Qing pursed her lips and said, "Young Master Meng, you are now enjoying success in both your career and family life. I hope that one day in the future, I can see the Meng family reach even greater heights under your leadership."

Meng Chenghui's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "You think highly of me, don't you?"

Su Qing smiled faintly and said, "Young Master Meng, just based on your ability to shoulder the responsibilities of the family, I believe you are a responsible person, whether it is for the family business or for your marriage."

Upon hearing Su Qing's words, Meng Chenghui sighed inwardly. He understood Su Qing's unspoken meaning, but he couldn't control his heart. He also knew that he had no more chances.

Su Qing, the only girl he truly loved in his life, ultimately did not belong to him.

All that's left is to offer my blessings.

As for any other thoughts, Meng Chenghui dared not have them at all. Not to mention that Su Qing is now the cousin of the eldest son of the Cheng family, he couldn't even withstand Su Qing's fighting skills. In addition, he genuinely liked Su Qing, so naturally he couldn't treat her like he usually did with those minor celebrities.

This relationship is destined to end in regret.

Just as Meng Chenghui was about to say something, An Zhihan suddenly walked over and said to Meng Chenghui with a smile, "Second Young Master Meng, excuse me, I have something to discuss with Su Qing. Is it convenient for us?"
