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. "I’ve 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 received a 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. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
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.
