Although everyone privately looked down on Wen Zhixin's interference in other people's lives, they didn't dare to say anything out of respect for the Meng Family.
Over time, no one mentioned Wen Zhixin's scandal anymore.
As the start time of the banquet approached, more and more vehicles began to pull up nearby.
Various dignitaries and nobles entered the venue in groups.
Not long after, a low-profile black minivan slowly drove up to the red carpet.
Compared to the various limited-edition models around it, the black minivan was clearly out of place, but the security guard standing at the hotel entrance instantly tensed up.
After confirming the license plate number of the van, the head of security quickly jogged over to greet it.
Guests who hadn't yet entered the venue noticed the security captain's actions and curiously turned their gazes toward the business vehicles in front of the red carpet.
The security captain had already walked to the van, bent down to open the door, and put on a wrinkled smile.
" President Gu, you've arrived."
The host of today's banquet is Gu Jinhuai, so the security captain had received advance notice that Gu Jinhuai would be arriving in a business car.
Gu Jinhuai straightened his suit jacket and stepped out of the car.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Gu Jinhuai turned around and walked to the other side of the van, leaned slightly forward, and opened the door with one hand.
Sitting in the car, Chu Yu lifted her skirt and, with Gu Jinhuai's help, gracefully stepped out of the car.
Her exquisite makeup made her look as noble as a queen, while the wisps of hair hanging down her forehead gave off a subtle sense of languor.
This appearance immediately set the atmosphere at the scene ablaze with excitement.
"Wow, no wonder she's a female celebrity, she looks even better in person than in photos."
"With that figure and face, no wonder her fans online are so crazy about her."
" President Gu is quite good-looking too; the two of them really make a good match standing together."
Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu were unaffected by the whispers of others and calmly continued walking towards the entrance of the venue.
Upon entering the venue, many guests immediately gathered around Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu, offering them toasts.
" President Gu, Miss Chu, I wish you a long and happy marriage and many children! I'll drink this one first."
Although various scandals and revelations about Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu have been circulating online, they are of no importance to the guests present.
No matter how chaotic Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu's love life is, as long as the group behind them doesn't collapse, the resources and power they control will remain unchanged, and they will still be the objects of everyone's admiration.
Gu Jinhuai had always disliked such flattery, but today he unusually accepted the toasts from these CEOs and even nodded in response to each of them.
The CEOs, flattered by the response, immediately continued to offer toasts.
"Wishing President Gu success in both his career and love life, and a long and happy marriage with Ms. Chu Yu."
Gu Jinhuai's smile deepened slightly as he drank the toast again.
In an instant, the area where Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu were located became the social center of the entire venue.
The CEOs who were just surrounding Meng Fuyu and Wen Zhixin also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
" President Gu, I'm so-and-so, do you remember me?"
" Miss Chu, I toasted you at the banquet last time, yes, that was me."
Having seen this kind of scene many times, Chu Yu quickly reacted, accepted the wine glasses handed to him by the executives opposite, and smiled slightly, "I'll also return the toast to everyone."
Not far away, Wen Zhixin, who had suddenly been neglected, gripped her wine glass tightly, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
She realized that wherever Chu Yu was, she would always be trampled underfoot.
Fortunately, under the pressure of public opinion, Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai are unlikely to have an easy time either.
Wen Zhixin smiled slightly and greeted Meng Fuyu in a perfunctory manner, " Fuyu, I'm going to take a look over there."
Meng Fuyu didn't think much of it and nodded to her, "Go ahead."
Wen Zhixin picked up a glass of red wine from the receptionist's tray, tossed her hair, and walked towards Chu Yu. " Xiao Yu, we meet again."
The guests who were originally surrounding Chu Yu quickly made way for Wen Zhixin when they saw her coming.
Chu Yu raised her eyes, looking meaningfully at Wen Zhixin who was walking towards her. "Yes, we meet again."
Wen Zhixin smiled insincerely and toasted Chu Yu, " Xiao Yu, you must be quite bothered by what's going on online lately. Don't worry about it. Many netizens are like that; I've been through it too."
These words, seemingly meant to comfort Chu Yu, also indirectly reminded the surrounding guests of the fact that Chu Yu had been exposed online as a mistress.
Now, many guests who remembered this incident began to look at Chu Yu with increasingly strange expressions.
Although everyone was wary of the power of the Gu Group and Chu Group and dared not say anything, gossip about mistresses was always a topic of conversation.
However, Wen Zhixin was also affected.
After all, her rise to power was directly confirmed by rumors of her being a third party in her marriage.
Chu Yu remained expressionless, holding her wine glass, and smiled faintly, showing no reaction to Wen Zhixin's words.
"The innocent are innocent, and I won't be bothered by things I didn't do."
With just one simple explanation, he refuted all of Wen Zhixin's words.
In other words, the fact that Wen Zhixin is troubled by these rumors only proves that she really is a mistress.
Wen Zhixin's expression froze slightly, but after a moment, she quickly put on a smile to cover her embarrassment, " Xiao Yu is right."
Having failed in her attempt to cause trouble, Wen Zhixin learned her lesson. With an embarrassed smile, she said goodbye to Chu Yu and turned to leave.
Once she reached a secluded corner where no one was watching, Wen Zhixin's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a furious rage.
At this moment, Meng Fuyu, who had been socializing nearby, also glanced in the direction of Chu Yu with a somber expression.
Seeing that Chu Yu and Gu Jinhuai were completely unaffected by the online revelations, Meng Fuyu felt a sense of resentment.
