Sang Rui didn’t expect to run into him here.
In her past life, she and Meng Peisheng had a marriage of convenience, which was actually a three-year contractual marriage.
At first, he had his reasons, and she had her own plans.
At that time, the Sang family was on the verge of collapse, and the only ones willing to help were the Meng family.
The Meng family was a leading force in Beicheng, and Meng Peisheng’s mother was the eldest daughter of the Gu family in Hong Kong.
The capital from Beijing and Hong Kong formed a strong alliance, standing tall for many years.
With such a distinguished family background, his persona was equally unfathomable, and his private life was mysterious.
All they knew was that he had a teenage son, whose mother had passed away, and that he himself was still unmarried.
There was much speculation from the outside world about this.
The idea of a marriage alliance was proposed by Meng Peisheng.
It wasn’t a condition to save Yun’an; it was entirely up to their own wishes.
The only suitable candidates in the family were her and her sister.
Sang Rui thought this was a stroke of luck falling from the sky.
So what if he had a son? Even without considering his family background, his appearance and abilities were enough to attract anyone.
Back then, Miss Xu from the Xu family was thought by everyone in the circle to be the one to marry into the Meng family, only to find out that Meng Peisheng had a son.
She was heartbroken but still wanted to marry him, and even now, she was still unmarried.
No matter how much Yun’an was saved, it only went so far.
She couldn’t ignore her own future.
Such a good opportunity how could she miss it? She almost didn’t think twice before agreeing to the marriage.
Meng Peisheng gave her a three-year contract.
The promises on it were very tempting.
During this time, she could receive compensation, including but not limited to cash, real estate, and other items, enough to indulge in luxury.
What was in front of her was a clearly priced marriage with a deadline.
Although things weren’t quite as she had imagined, it didn’t matter.
There would be plenty of opportunities to spend time together later.
The contract’s terms were enticing.
If she could become the legitimate Mrs. Meng, how much better would that be?
However, her ending was completely different from what she had hoped.
In the end, she lost everything and became a joke, even falling out with her family.
On the other hand, her sister, who was always quiet and taciturn, lived as a young lady in the family, doing nothing but enjoying the benefits of her shares and status.
When she was reborn, she realized this world was a pre-set novel, and she was just a tool to drive the plot forward a vicious female supporting character.
All of this was predestined.
She was destined not to receive Meng Peisheng’s love or Meng Xici’s acceptance.
No matter how hard she tried, the result would always be the same.
She couldn’t accept it.
How could she accept it?
Why should her life be decided for her in advance?
When she woke up, she realized that, just like before, she had agreed to the marriage.
If she backed out rashly, she didn’t know if it would affect the cooperation between her family and the Meng family, which would prevent the Sang family from regaining its former glory like she had seen in her past life.
She also worried that a character like this shouldn’t disappear so easily.
Someone must replace her in this position for her to truly break free from this fate.
Fortunately, there was still time.
Everything went smoothly.
Meng Peisheng and her sister had already agreed to their marriage.
As for her sister…
She naturally didn’t want to see her end up like that.
Once they were divorced, she could still help her out.
Seeing Meng Peisheng at this moment, Sang Rui once again felt unsettled.
In just a few days, he would be her nominal brother-in-law.
Coming back to her senses, Sang Rui saw Meng Peisheng telling the people around him something, and the rest left.
Only his assistant stayed, accompanying him into the banquet hall.
Meng Peisheng had a meeting at the hotel today.
After it ended, he ran into Charles in the elevator.
Old friends meeting, it would have been rude to refuse, so he stayed to catch up.
The waiter served champagne and whiskey, and during the conversation, Charles introduced him to others.
There has always been a close connection between the aristocracy and the entertainment industry.
It’s quite common for stars to become friends with wealthy heirs and children of influential families.
Even so, the head of the Meng family was not someone you could easily encounter at the same event just because you were trying to climb up the social ladder.
Many film and television companies in the industry were publicly unrelated to the Meng family, but behind the scenes, Meng family capital could be seen influencing them.
Even just showing your face in front of him, even if it’s just being introduced and leaving an impression, is enough.
In the presence of absolute capital, the arrogance of even top stars becomes respectful.
The editor-in-chief of a magazine, accustomed to the storms of life, was somewhat taken aback during their handshake, wondering if she was now being treated the same as the tycoons on the rich list.
Even though the person in front of her appeared dignified and spoke with calm consideration, the aura of someone who had an innate ability to control everything still made her choose her words carefully.
The banquet hall was crowded, and the atmosphere seemed lively but was actually quite subtle.
Some people in the industry who were more knowledgeable and well-informed knew Meng Peisheng’s identity and began to gossip in hushed tones.
“Talk about luck today.
Charles himself is attending, and now even Meng Peisheng is here?”
“So what? Whether we’re lucky or not doesn’t concern us.”
“True. In this circle, it’s better to be famous and know big shots, even if you can only say a few words.
It’s not like us, just watching from the sidelines.”
“I remember last time our best actress didn’t even care about Young Master Chen, and now this is interesting.”
“That’s useless.
The Meng family is no ordinary aristocracy.
Besides, their son’s already in high school.”
“Wasn’t he only about twenty when he had a kid? His biological son?”
Sang Rui didn’t expect to run into him here.
