Shocking! A Hong Kong socialite gave birth to three heirs to a wealthy family.

Chapter 205 Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's Wedding (7)

Because both the Gu and He families are top-tier wealthy families in Hong Kong, the guests invited to the banquet were all people who knew both families, so these guests were seated together without any distinction between male and female seats.

Shen Wancheng herself didn't invite many guests, just one table. She specifically instructed a waiter to arrange for them all to sit at one table.

Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing were the first to arrive at this table.

Lan Qin and the others sitting at this table stood up as soon as they saw them coming over.

Although Lan Qin and Wen Nan's families are old friends, and Wen Nan is her junior, she chose to come as Shen Wancheng's guest today, which shows her affection for Shen Wancheng.

As the oldest person at the table, Lan Qin was the first to say to Shen Wancheng, "Wancheng, you look beautiful today."

Zhou Yunqing also sat down at this table with Lan Qin.

She also chimed in, "Yes, I wish you and Jinxing a lifetime of happiness."

Shen Wancheng's eyes were full of smiles as she clinked glasses with each of them.

Then Li Shaojie, Zhou Heng, and Li Su also offered their blessings to Shen Wancheng. The table wasn't full. Shen Yao had previously said that she and Ye Ningshuang would come to sit at this table after Shen Wancheng finished toasting.

When Shen Wancheng's friends offered their blessings, Gu Jinxing stood beside her with a faint smile. Although he didn't say much, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Wancheng and the people speaking. He occasionally nodded to Shen Wancheng's friends, displaying gentlemanly manners and showing his respect for Shen Wancheng.

When everyone at the table raised their glasses, Gu Jinxing said, "Thank you for coming."

After toasting this table, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing continued forward. The guests they were to toast next were all business partners and friends of the Gu and He families.

Today's guests were all prominent figures from Hong Kong Island. As Gu Jinxing introduced them to Shen Wancheng, Shen Wancheng silently recited their names in her mind, making sure she remembered them.

Shen Wancheng is going to do business, and sooner or later she will have to deal with these people. She can't always have Gu Jinxing accompany her, so she has to remember these people on her own.

Ironically, apart from a few people Shen Wancheng had met at the family reunion banquet, she didn't recognize most of these people. Among them, the one Shen Wancheng was most familiar with was actually Xu Youwei from the Xu family, with whom she had a grudge.

Because Gu Jinxing said on the cruise ship last night that the person who had been watching them was Xu Youwei, Shen Wancheng paid special attention to Xu Youwei's reaction when she arrived at Xu Youwei's table.

However, Xu Youwei, as the head of the family, would not easily let Shen Wancheng see anything on the surface.

Xu Youwei maintained a polite smile throughout. Upon seeing Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing approach, he immediately stood up and raised his glass in greeting.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Shen, congratulations!"

Xu Youwei's voice was loud and clear, and there was no sign of anything unusual in his tone, as if the previous conflict between him and Shen Wancheng had never existed.

Shen Wancheng smiled slightly and politely clinked glasses with him.

While Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing were toasting and talking with others, Shen Wancheng kept an eye on Xu Youwei out of the corner of her eye, and eventually she discovered something was amiss.

Shen Wancheng noticed that Xu Youwei's gaze swept over her hand several times, seemingly unintentionally.

Shen Wancheng's hands were nothing special, but Xu Youwei was looking at the hand with the wedding ring on it.

Shen Wancheng immediately guessed that Xu Youwei was looking at her wedding ring.

At Xu Youwei's age, it's generally impossible for him to be interested in wedding rings anymore. So what attracted Xu Youwei must be the special features of this wedding ring.

The wedding ring was custom-made by Gu Jinxing, but the design was not novel. The most unique feature was the diamond set in the ring.

This diamond is worth over 100 million yuan and is very precious, but it's nothing to the head of a wealthy family.

So what's so special about this diamond?

Shen Wancheng was preoccupied with her own thoughts, but on the surface, she still greeted and toasted the others with a smile.

Just as Shen Wancheng and the others were about to leave the table, Xu Youwei mentioned it seemingly casually.

"Mr. Gu really spared no expense for Miss Shen. Just look at Miss Shen's wedding ring, the diamond on it is priceless."

Another unsuspecting customer chimed in, "I noticed it too; this diamond looks incredibly valuable."

Shen Wancheng smiled politely at the two of them.

Gu Jinxing said calmly, "I saw it by chance at an auction, and it suits Wan Cheng."

Another guest chimed in, “I remember now, wasn’t this diamond the grand finale at an auction in Johannesburg, South Africa, a month ago? My wife attended that auction and showed me photos. I recall the final price was $3500 million. Mr. Gu, you’re really spending a fortune.”

The people sitting at this table are all top tycoons in Hong Kong. They can all afford to spend over 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but when it comes to buying a ring for a woman, none of them are willing to spend that much.

In an instant, everyone at the table praised Gu Jinxing for his sincere affection for Shen Wancheng.

Shen Wancheng noticed that Xu Youwei's eyes flickered noticeably after hearing what that person had just said, and then his gaze toward Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing became more probing.

Shen Wancheng now understood why Xu Youwei had been paying attention to this ring.

Xu Youwei's son, Xu Yaozu, was shot and killed after that auction. Now, Gu Jinxing has produced the ring that was auctioned off at the auction.

This indicates that Gu Jinxing also attended that auction.

Xu Youwei is suspecting Gu Jinxing, or perhaps Shen Wancheng as well, because they are all connected to Xu Yaozu's death.

Shen Wancheng was speechless.

It's truly an unexpected disaster that he could suspect this.

Nearly a hundred people attended the auction that day, and the South African side had already made a determination about the robbers after the auction, publicly revealing the mafia organization to which the robbers belonged, and there are even people now organizing to crack down on this organization.

However, Xu Youwei began to suspect Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng, who were also targets of the robbers, which was truly an undeserved misfortune for them.

Shen Wancheng made a mental note of Xu Youwei's matter, and planned to discuss it with Gu Jinxing later that evening.

Nothing else happened during the subsequent toasting process.

After the toasts were finished, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing took their seats at the main table where Gu Mingqian of the Gu family was having dinner.

Shen Yao and Ye Ningshuang, as Shen Yao had previously mentioned, went to the table where Lan Qin and Li Shaojie were.

The wedding banquet dishes were also very luxurious.

Seafood sashimi platter, steamed grouper, baked Australian lobster with cheese, baked South African abalone in broth, French herb-roasted lamb chops, pan-fried foie gras, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in golden broth, chicken soup with fish maw and scallops, stir-fried asparagus with truffle and lily bulbs, black pepper Wagyu beef cubes, Chinese Four Delights Platter, Italian black truffle risotto.

The desserts were bird's nest and mango pomelo sago, and a French macaron platter.

The ingredients used in these dishes are all sourced directly from the world's best quality origins, and are all freshly caught, ensuring absolute freshness.

Although there are only twelve main dishes, the portions are very generous, unlike the small portions found in other restaurants.

We guarantee that our guests will have a wonderful and satisfying meal.

After lunch, the Gu family arranged a variety of recreational activities for the guests at the beach, such as jet skiing, cruise ships, diving, surfing, and more. A team of professional lifeguards were also on duty to ensure safety.

In addition, tea and chess/card areas have been set up along the beach, so that middle-aged and elderly people who don't participate in water sports can have something to do to pass the time.

The Gu family made meticulous arrangements in every aspect, making the guests attending Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's wedding feel as if they had taken a trip abroad.

Even the wealthy who had experienced everything remarked that this was the most worthwhile and best wedding they had ever attended.
