Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Capítulo 813: Chapter 492: Jiang Fifth Master, Master Huo, Master Fu Third? A Century in the Same Frame (Three Updates)

Wedding Reception Hall

As the guests arrived one by one, everyone was observing who was present today, wondering if there would be any big shots, like the Xie Family, who were expected.

However, there were guests even Jiang Jinsang found surprising.

The Third Master of the Fu Family and… Song Fengwan.

These two are currently some of the most talked-about figures in Beijing, but they normally have no dealings with Jiang Jinsang and the others.

“Congratulations.” Besides the gift money, Song Fengwan also presented a painting, rolled and wrapped, handing it to Jiang Jinsang.

“Thank you, please come in.”

Jiang Jinsang thought to himself, Fu Chen did show up at Zhou Zhongqing’s recognition banquet, could he have been invited by him?

“Wow, what a century moment is this? Do they have some private connection?”

They usually operate where kings don’t meet, rarely appearing together, not to mention any connection.

“Neither family has much of a private relationship, who invited them?”

“How would I know, but it seems only the Third Master is here, I didn’t see anyone else.”

…

However, Song Fengwan’s actions soon answered the question, she headed straight towards Xi Fangli, and everyone saw them chatting warmly, not daring to go near, let alone eavesdrop.

When Jiang Yanting got married, no one from the Fu Family was present, so they didn’t think this person was invited by the Jiang Family. Some even said they saw Master Fu at the recognition banquet and assumed he was invited by Zhou Zhongqing…

But it turned out he was invited by Tang Wan.

Tonight sure was lively.

“Why are you here?” Xi Fangli glanced at Song Fengwan, scrutinizing her and then looking at the person beside her.

He had heard Qiao Wangbei mention someone like Fu Chen, though they had never met. He heard they were several years apart and even marveled at how Song Fengwan found someone so much older. But upon meeting him in person, he seemed youthful, not like someone nearing thirty, and standing next to her, they made a good pair.

“My uncle couldn’t make it, so he sent me to represent him.” Song Fengwan smiled, “How long will you be in Beijing? If you’re free tomorrow, let me treat you to a meal.”

“You’re still a student, how could I let you treat, I’ll treat you.”

…

After all, with Beijing and Pingjiang separated by a thousand miles, not many relatives and friends from the Tang Family could come. Yet here was the unexpectedly present Master Fu and the high-profile Song Fengwan, inexplicably grouped with Huo Qinqi from the same maternal family camp.

They even talked!

Although no one knew what they were discussing, this was indeed a legendary gathering.

Soon after, Zhou Zhongqing also arrived. Although there weren’t many from the Tang Family’s side, all the attendees were impressive figures like Master Xi, the Huo Family from Hexi, the Third Master of the Fu Family, and Song Fengwan…

Instantly elevating the prestige of the maternal side by who knows how many levels.

The number of people didn’t matter, what mattered was the presence of enough influential people to hold the scene.

…

Afterwards, Jiang Jinsang and the others intentionally asked Huo Qinqi what he talked about with Fu Chen. Although he was talkative, the conversation seemed to never stop at a distance.

Could it be he’s switching sides and ready to join the Fu Family camp?

Huo Qinqi simply said, “We were talking about the weather.”

And indeed, they were having a truly awkward conversation.

Huo Qinqi: “The weather is quite nice today.”

Fu Chen: “Yes, it’s not bad, though it was windy when I came, and it’s still a bit chilly at night.”

“I heard it might rain soon.”

“Really? It’s about time it rained, Beijing has been so dry lately, I wonder how long it will last?”

“Two or three days.”

“That’s okay, it was gloomy for the past few days, the low pressure made people feel uneasy.”

…

They chatted from low pressure systems to land-sea convection rains, from ocean currents to climate change, wildfires, locust plagues; the whole process was more like attending an environmental organization discussion than a wedding.

Everyone around Jiang Jinsang was astonished at the heated discussion, from weather to environmental protection, outsiders might think the two hit it off at first sight.

“So you talked for that long and that’s all you discussed?” Qi Zeyan was dumbfounded, questioning what kind of people he got to know.
