The difficulty for the hospital’s hands-on practicals on Thursday and Friday was not considered as high. After his midterm exams, the main priority that required Lin Yuhe to consider was the engagement party on Sunday.
Ever since the engagement date had been scheduled, Wu Xin had been continuously sending Lin Yuhe all sorts of relevant information. Previously, Lin Yuhe was busy with his exams, so he did not pay much attention to this matter. Furthermore, he actually did not put much thought into this sort of thing, as he figured that since it was an agreement, so wasn’t going through the procedures sufficient?
However, his family took this marriage agreement very seriously, so even if it was just an engagement, they had attached considerable importance to it. Even though the Lu family had already arranged all the procedures of the engagement party and did not require the Lin family to worry about it, Wu Xin still took part in all matters, regardless of its importance.
She feared that a slip-up might occur, causing their cooperation with Lu Nan to turn sour.
As Sunday drew near, Wu Xin sent messages to Lin Yuhe more hastily. On Saturday evening, Lin Yuhe, who had just finished his lessons for the day, had been called away by her.
This time, they met up in a cafe near the university, and Wu Xin specifically brought over tons of information to go through to Lin Yuhe.
Although it was only an engagement party, the manner in which rich and powerful families were ostentatious. Not only that, but this was also Lu Nan’s first public event ever since his promotion to Tai Ping’s chairman. Other than relatives and friends, numerous businessmen would be present during that time. As such, the procedures would be rather complicated.
“I made a special trip to meet the planner and emcee for the engagement party, so I was able to get my hands on the schedule for the entire engagement party.”
As she spoke, Wu Xin patted the folder before her.
It consisted entirely of information relating to the procedures. Over dozens of documents were secured together in the folder, adding up to a thick stack.
Seeing that stack of documents, Lin Yuhe suddenly felt that his eleven medical exams had become much cuter.
He never could have imagined that he was required to prepare so many matters just to be engaged.
Even with that, Wu Xin still thought that they had begun the preparations rather late. If it were not for the fact that Lu Nan’s men mentioned the team of stylists would only arrive on the day itself, Lin Yuhe was afraid that he might have been dragged to be styled beforehand.
Wu Xin pointed out, “Your identity will be officially introduced for the first time at the engagement party tomorrow.” Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
She explained, “As you know, Mr. Lu had been so busy with the matter of taking over Tai Ping recently, so he had no time to take part personally in publicizing your romantic relationships. Hence, the Lu family eventually decided to seal off all the relevant news before the engagement, in order to protect the fiance’s name.”
She cautioned, “So at this point, not many people know the identity of Chairman Lu’s fiance. As such, the vast majority of the people present tomorrow do not know you. Their first impression of you is of utmost importance, and your every move will constantly be watched by everyone, so you must be careful, do you hear me?”
Lin Yuhe made a sound of acknowledgement.
Wu Xin, yet again, continued, “Once the engagement party was over, the subsequent publicizing would also begin. That will definitely be a sight to see.”
As for the Lu family, the tabloids had never stopped. Since they are a well-known, rich, and influential family in Hong Kong, even a random piece of news would be able to sustain several entertainment tabloids. As such, the movements of every Lu family member would be magnified and placed on the front page to boost traffic.
It was just that Lu Nan had always been building his career in Mainland China, and the number of times he returned to Hong Kong could be counted with one hand. Hence, the entertainment reporters were not able to find much about him, even after doing much digging for information. It was due to the countless restrictions placed on entertainment news in Mainland China that scandals about Lu Nan remained relatively few.
However, it was Lu Nan’s wedding this time, so the amount of attention placed on it would definitely not be lacking. With the addition of the recent change in Tai Ping’s chairman, the coverage of all relevant articles would significantly increase.
Thus, Lin Yuhe must give his full cooperation.
Wu Xin pulled out a document filled with newspaper and magazine articles. “I have gathered some articles on the Lu family that were written by the Hong Kong media. The Lu family did not arrange for anyone to come over to attend this engagement party, so for the time being, you do not need to memorize all their details. Just look through them will do now. In the future, you will need to face these media as well.”
Lin Yuhe had always been unimpressed with the entertainment gossips, so if you were to use internet slang to describe it, it would be ‘his life was very fulfilling.’ [1] Naturally, he was not interested in these tabloids that Wu Xin handed him.
“Refusal to Swipe Card for Young and Beautiful Wife, Lu Yingming Feels no Qualms. ‘How Sagacious’”
“The Dream of a Rich and Power Family Shattered? Lu Yingming’s New Girlfriend Went Shopping so Sadly!”
“Old Flame Triumphed Over New Love? Second Young Master Lu’s New Pet Is Not Entitled to Swipe His Card!”
Wu Xin had done her research well, as all the newspaper articles she had gathered were of the most recent ones. For some time now, the media in Hong Kong had been paying the most attention to the second son of the third generation in the Lu family, who happened to be that cousin of Lu Nan that wanted to get married, Lu Yingming.
A womanizer like Lu Yingming constantly battled with scandals, as he changed girlfriends every day. Whereas this time, he finally made a wedding announcement. Hence, all the media were no doubt very interested in this abnormal new love of his, competing to report on how she managed to ‘entrap’ the Second Young Master Lu.
Just when this new girlfriend was in the limelight, all of a sudden, a tabloid managed to capture images of a “breaking” news——when Lu Yingming’s girlfriend was out shopping, the card she used was not Second Young Master Lu’s, but instead, it was her own.
Usually, this piece of news would not be able to create too much commotion. Even though the Hong Kong media were fond of exaggerating their words, this sort of thing would at most remain enigmatic for several days. Soon after, no one would pay attention to it anymore.
However, the problem now lay with——one of Second Young Master Lu’s ex-girlfriends, who had once received his bank card. When they were still dating, the card she used had always been Second Young Master Lu’s card.
If you were to compare these two, it was quite out of this world. Countless articles began to state that the engagement did not count for anything, and it was the previous girlfriend who was his real love. Additionally, that ex-girlfriend of his became an internet sensation for ‘wrecking relationships’ and garnered a certain amount of fanbase. Gradually, it gave rise to partiality amongst public opinions.
Whereas, his new girlfriend also did not want to be outdone, so she splurged to buy off some bloggers to curse at the former girlfriend.
At the same time, tabloids were rejoicing at this and began to stoke things up one after another. Instantly, both parties erupted into heated arguments.
However, Lin Yuhe did not care about Second Young Master Lu’s love life. What really sparked his interest were these two words, ‘Swipe Card.’
