After the speech, the President of the Chamber of Commerce announced, “Next, I would like to invite the President of the Gu Corporation, Mr. Gu and Miss Zuo to lead the first dance.”

The lights in the hall dimmed with only a cluster of spotlights directed towards Gu Yu and Zuo Si as if they were the only existence in the world, and the rest of the guest was drowned by the darkness and became one with the backdrop.

Gu Yu turned to face Zuo Si and extended his hand elegantly towards her to make the invitation gesture.

Zuo Si smiled as she raised her hand towards his and allowed him to lead her to the dance floor.

The music started and they began to waltz.

The soft light shone on Gu Yu’s well-defined face. It might be the lighting effect, or perhaps it was his soft expression, his eyes seemed to shine with affection towards Zuo Si.

As for Zuo Si, who had always been portraying the image of a superwoman, seemed to have shed all the protective shield and turned into a delicate little woman in front of Gu Yu.

This scene had proven enough.

With their family background and love affair as a filter, no words were required to announce their marriage alliance. This was adequate to convince everyone that the marriage alliance was done deal.

However, the sweet couple on the dance floor was not the only subject of attention. The attention of the public was even more concentrated toward Xu Weilai.

Even though Xu Weilai was standing in the dark, she could feel countless pairs of eyes on her, waiting for her to react. Would she be weeping silently at the side or was she going to rush forward and tear them apart?

The Gu Corporation was already on the verge of collapse after the fall of Mr. Gu. Sr. However, the marriage between the Gu and the Zuo would bring the corporations to another level of greatness. With the north-south alliance, they could dominate the resources in the commerce world created roadblocks to many others.

On the surface, everyone would flatter the marriage alliance. In reality, many of them wished that Xu Weilai would come forward and hammered Gu Yu to death. This would destroy the marriage alliance and sink the Gu Corporation into oblivion.

Xu Weilai certainly wished to let them know that, if she could hammer him to death, she would. But she did not have the power to do so as Gu Yu did not love her to the point that he would tear out his beating heart for her, neither did he love her so deeply that he could forgo his empire for her. Hence, she could only disappoint them.

However… even if she didn’t have a sledgehammer, she could do with a small one.

Xu Weilai moved closer to Zuo An and asked in a low voice, “How is it? Is the arranged reporter in place yet? Can I start the ball rolling?”

Zuo An replied in a low voice, “When the lights are on.”

“Roger that!”

After the dance, the hall lit up. At that very moment, Xu Weilai’s eyes turned red. She bit her lower lip lightly and had her sight locked directly on the beautiful couple. Her body trembled slightly and her face gradually lost its color.

It was such a scene that would even move even the coldest of heart, her expression showed the unspeakable sadness from her heart, and her emotions that portrayed vulnerability and helplessness. That was exactly the scene she had created when everyone looked towards her.

Just like the saying that too much display of affection would lead to the quick death of love. Back then, Gu Yu had protected Xu Weilai at the banquet and even put on his lawyer robe to battle in a lawsuit for her. Those were the scenes where Gu Yu had proven his love for Xu Weilai. The wild rumors of this couple had once led the public to believe that they were inseparable, and even many of them had shown their support and approvals towards the couples on social media. Who could have known that the divorce would follow suit so soon just like a tornado?

The Prince and Cinderella did not go far in the end. After all, they weren’t from the same world.

Eventually, the prince chose the princess.

To look convincing, Xu Weilai drank a lot of liquor later on. When Zuo An left the banquet with her, the effect of the alcohol had gotten stronger. Her face was flushed red, and she was staggering on her high heels when she walked.

The car was already waiting outside. Zuo An was holding Xu Weilai up when they left the banquet hall together and intended to send her home to rest. However, Xu Weilai refused to get in the car and said, “I want to go for a walk to clear off the alcohol smell.”
