Marriage of convenience blossoms into love; the husband turns out to be a billionaire CEO.

Everyone looked at each other.

Wang Yu swallowed, blinked, and continued:

"Didn't you see the news? That famous Hengyao Star was recently auctioned again, and in less than ten minutes, it was bought by a mysterious tycoon for a sky-high price of 800 million!"

The women were still staring at each other, completely bewildered.

Normally, people browse houses and cars, gossip and celebrities, and talk about the Zhang family and the Li family's affairs. Who pays attention to this?

To be precise, I generally don't bother with things that are too far removed from my own life.

Besides, an 800 million yuan necklace wouldn't be here. Even Yao Qingqing doesn't have the means to wear it, let alone this insignificant woman in the company.

Chen Qianru was the first to laugh out loud.

"Wang Yu, what Hengyao Star? Eight hundred million? Are you still dreaming!"

Tian Yawen grinned and said, "I've noticed that Xiaoyu has been telling corny jokes lately."

Wang Yu rubbed her eyes, her tone becoming uncertain: "Ye Cheng's do look very similar!"

As she spoke, she nudged her boyfriend, Guo Zhen, who was standing next to her:

"Zhenzi, don't you think it looks a lot like it? Didn't you see this news online too?"

Guo Zhen straightened his back, cleared his throat, and said, "Hmm, it does look somewhat similar."

Ye Cheng covered her mouth, chuckled, and glanced at Wang Yu, afraid that she might accidentally spit out the food in her mouth.

"Sorry, Wang Yu, this one does start with the number eight, but it's not eight hundred million, it's eight hundred yuan."

The whole room burst into laughter.

Wang Yu awkwardly tugged at the corners of his mouth, chuckled dryly twice, and said, "Heh, look at my eyes."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

In any case, she was really frightened just now.

Ye Cheng Dai Hengyao Star?

Of course, she absolutely refused to believe it.

Isn’t this a fantasy?

She'd rather believe that sows can climb trees and boars can give birth!

Tian Yawen glanced at Wang Yu and said with a mocking tone:

"Wang Yu, your eye for quality needs improvement. You can find tons of Ocean Heart items online! This Heng something-star thing, the auction house probably hasn't even started bidding yet, and the knock-offs are already everywhere! It's nothing unusual!"

Chen Qianru chimed in with a smile:

"An 800 yuan one is considered a high-quality fake, right? You might even find one for 9.9 yuan with free shipping on Pinduoduo, haha!"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Tian Yawen glanced at Ye Cheng with disdain:

"Spending money on counterfeit goods is so tasteless! If my husband can't afford the real thing, I'd rather not have it, right, honey?"

Huang Junying said in a flattering tone:

"Of course, honey. If we're going to buy something, we'll buy genuine Cartier or Bulgari. There's no need to be so vain as to buy an 800 million yuan counterfeit. Wouldn't that just be embarrassing?"

"That's right. Some people pretend to be poor the more they have money, and they don't even care about basic self-respect."

Chen Qianru chimed in while simultaneously making sarcastic remarks.

Hua Zhixin was already furious. Hearing this, she forcefully spat the bone in her mouth onto the bone plate and retorted rudely:

"What are you pretending for? There have always been people installing ACDs here. The streets are full of counterfeit and high-quality fakes now. Let whoever wants them buy them. Who's bothered?"

"Who are you talking about!"

"Who are you talking about!"

Tian Yawen and Chen Qianru shouted angrily at the same time.

Hua Zhixin suppressed a laugh and said, "Why are you two so excited? I didn't name anyone, so don't take it personally!"

Both women's faces turned extremely ugly.

Ye Cheng chewed on her steak with gusto, smiling nonchalantly:

"It's alright, everyone was just joking. Why take a decoration so seriously? I was just wearing it for fun!"

Wang Yu, who was standing to the side, was already annoyed that she had lost face because of her slip of the tongue. She had been feeling angry ever since she heard Tian Yawen's veiled words.

What does it mean that one's observation skills need improvement?

Tian Yawen was clearly using a double entendre to subtly criticize her boyfriend!

Wang Yu's eyes darted around, and he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Ye Cheng, where's your husband? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Ye Cheng swallowed the steak in her mouth, glanced at her watch, and said, "He said he might be a little late."

Wang Yu said, "Why don't you give them a call and urge them? You had a whirlwind marriage and didn't even have a wedding. This is a good opportunity for everyone to meet you!"

Ye Cheng laughed and said, "We can't rush him. He said he has some handover work to do at the company, and if he really can't make it, we'll do it next time. Don't worry about him."

"Oh right, I heard you mention last time that your husband was on the company's layoff list. Look at my memory!"

Wang Yu pretended to just remember.

She paused for a moment and then said, "Then I'll ask my boyfriend to ask his company if they're hiring. If they have any openings, they'll let you know."

Wang Yu deliberately pronounced the words "their company" very clearly.

These words were, of course, meant primarily for Tian Yawen's ears.

Her boyfriend's family owns their own company. Does that mean they're not as good as Tian Yawen's husband, who's a high-level executive?

"Did you hear that, Zhenzi?" Wang Yu turned to her boyfriend and instructed him.

Guo Zhen, being quite tactful, readily replied:

"Of course, no problem. I'll go back and ask the HR department. It's a piece of cake!"

As he spoke, his hands were also busy, taking the opportunity to turn the Maserati car keys that had been sitting on the table for a long time.

In the back and forth, Wang Yu successfully drew everyone's attention back to her boyfriend, Guo Zhen.

"Wow, Xiaoyu, your Guo Zhen bought a new car again, a Maserati! I'm so envious!"

"We can only be envious. In our company, Xiaoyu is the youngest and most beautiful. With just a wave of her hand, rich second-generation and third-generation rich kids could line up from upstairs to downstairs!"

"Xiaoyu looks exactly like a company boss's wife!"

Wang Yu looked smug and pleased with himself.

Ye Cheng clasped her hands in thanks, "Okay, Xiaoyu, thank you in advance for the work!"

She knew that Wang Yu and Guo Zhen were just making empty promises to save face for themselves.

However, Guo Zhen's company seems to be quite large, so if there are any good job opportunities, he certainly shouldn't miss them.

Wang Yu looked completely at ease and said casually:

"It's alright. Zhenzi's family runs a company that's not too big or too small, with about a hundred employees. He's practically a boss. Finding a job for your husband is just a matter of a word."

After saying that, he casually gave Tian Yawen a smug smile.

Tian Yawen twitched her lips and turned her head away sullenly.

She's not stupid. Wang Yu was mocking her husband, saying that no matter how capable he is, he's just a high-level employee.

However, Tian Yawen was no pushover either.

She cleared her throat and said, feigning nonchalance:

"By the way, Xiaoyu, when are you and your boyfriend getting married? We're all waiting to receive your invitations!"

The subtext of those words is obvious.

No matter how capable Guo Zhen is, the two are just boyfriend and girlfriend in a relationship. He hasn't even been officially hired yet, but he's already acting like a boss's wife.

This question stunned Wang Yu.

Wang Yu had just won the exchange and was feeling quite pleased with himself, never expecting Tian Yawen to suddenly ask this question.

She and Guo Zhen have only known each other for six months and are currently deeply in love.

The couple in love naturally had a good relationship. Guo Zhen doted on her and always granted her requests, but they were far from reaching the point of discussing marriage.

Wang Yu glanced furtively at Guo Zhen beside her, gave an awkward smile, and said:

"It's too early. We're not thinking about that kind of thing right now. Besides, I'm still young and don't want to get married too early. Let's enjoy ourselves first."

"Um, uh," Guo Zhen responded awkwardly, offering no further comment.

Although Guo Zhen is a second-generation rich kid, he is self-aware. He is not good at studying and has limited abilities. He relies on his parents and is nothing without them.

He's young now, so his parents turn a blind eye to how he plays around and what girlfriends he dates. But when it comes to marriage, they'll still have to decide who his wife is.

Unless he no longer wants the family business and assets.

Besides, he has an older brother who is more capable than him.

Just because he and Wang Yu are inseparable now doesn't mean he'll actually marry her in the future.

He hasn't mentioned marriage at all; he's not stupid!

A triumphant smile appeared on Tian Yawen's face, followed by a veiled remark:

"Xiaoyu, you can't say that. Being too playful isn't a good thing either. Sometimes when you're playing, you might accidentally..."

Before you know it, you've aged too much, and then you're no longer in control of your own life. Like some people, who keep changing their minds—one minute they're announcing an engagement, the next they're having a whirlwind marriage.

While mocking Wang Yu, the woman also pointed her sword at Ye Cheng and added a few more sarcastic remarks.

Ye Cheng looked at the flowers, feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear, and gave a bitter smile.

Wang Yu blushed deeply and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Just as the atmosphere at the table was becoming awkward, Yao Qingqing arrived with light steps.
