After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 382 What...should you call me?

They then toasted several more tables without any problems.

These tables were mainly occupied by members of the Lu family, and their well wishes were often laced with veiled sarcasm. Ye Wanyin and Lu Wangqian were able to handle the situation.

Ye Wanyin also quickly memorized the different attitudes the Lu family members had towards the two of them. Regardless of whether it would be useful in the future, it was always good to be prepared.

Until it was Cheng Yanye's table's turn.

Logically speaking, it would be enough to toast the whole table here, since time is limited. The Lu family's etiquette... is actually similar to Hua Duoduo's; they only show etiquette to families that are superior to or equal to their own.

But after offering toasts to the entire table, Ye Wanyin specifically went to Cheng Yanye's side.

Cheng Yanye's expression just now was quite meaningful. She had spoken to Lu Wangqian on her way to change clothes, saying that she didn't want him to have a conflict with Cheng Yanye and that she would handle the matter herself.

Although Lu Wangqian was unwilling, he knew that tonight was not a good time for him to perform, so he could only agree. At the same time, he was very touched and thought that Ye Wanyin was a virtuous wife who would take the initiative to solve his problems.

Moreover, the spotlight was clearly provocative, and Lu Wangqian didn't want to fall for someone else's scheme, so he easily convinced himself.

"Brother Yanye... I'm so touched. I never expected you to put aside past grievances and come to my wedding today... I'm so happy to have received your blessings. Let bygones be bygones, okay?"

Ye Wanyin looked like she was about to cry tears of joy, raising her wine glass to him, clearly intending to toast him again.

This sounds like he's trying to get along with Cheng Yanye.

Cheng Yanye stood up, holding his wine glass. His expression was calm but tinged with sadness, though his heart was pounding.

He had been preparing for the task Sheng Hanyu had just given him, and now it was finally time to put it to use.

He glanced at Lu Wangqian first, revealing a look of resentment, then his gaze returned to Ye Wanyin's face, revealing a feeling of nostalgia.

"Ye... Wanwan, is the past really the past?"

He raised his other hand as if to be affectionate with Ye Wanyin out of habit, but withdrew it a second later and instead touched his earlobe.

Before Ye Wanyin could answer, he smiled sadly and said, "I should have... never mind, I'll drink first as a sign of respect, and wish you well."

After saying that, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, sat down, and never looked up at Ye Wanyin again.

Cheng Yanye's acting skills weren't exactly smooth, but he had grasped the essence of the unspoken meaning, which was a testament to his many years of knowing Ye Wanyin.

Adding a touch of restraint to his melancholic tone, he truly seemed like a deeply affectionate man grieving over his ex-girlfriend marrying someone else.

The whispers among the crowd grew louder, and glances were frequently cast at the three individuals involved.

For Lu Wangqian, this was nothing short of a provocation. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't take it anymore, so he immediately strode forward and punched Cheng Yanye!

Ye Wanyin exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yanye!"

She was still thinking about how to respond in a way that could repair and maintain her relationship with Cheng Yanye without arousing Lu Wangqian's suspicion. She didn't expect Lu Wangqian to act even faster than Ye Sanqing!

If you had that speed, why didn't you block Ye Sanqing's ice bucket attack just now?

Ye Wanyin inwardly complained and hurriedly went to pull Lu Wangqian away. However, when Lu Wangqian heard that she wasn't calling him, he seemed even angrier and raised his fist, ready to give Cheng Yanye another punch.

"Lu Wangqian!"

Cheng Yanye knew he would get hit at least twice after saying those words, and he was mentally prepared, but Lu Wangqian didn't hold back at all. He was hit so hard that he fell backward and bumped into Fu Shaochen.

Fu Shaochen helped him up and helped him sit down in his original seat.

Then Fu Shaochen stood up and slowly pulled down his mask.

"What's it to you... Fu... Fu Shaojing?! Holy crap!"

Lu Wangqian hadn't noticed him at all. Since the guests at this table weren't from any truly top-tier wealthy families, he naturally wouldn't care that there was someone wearing a mask.

Fu Shao Chen had been deliberately turning his face away, and even when he drank, he only finished quickly, so they didn't notice.

He came here today precisely to reveal his identity and make a scene with his face, and now is naturally the perfect opportunity.

Although Fu Shaochen didn't know what task Cheng Yanye had been assigned, he could seamlessly take over.

As Lu Wangqian spoke, everyone in the room turned to look in his direction.

After a moment of silence, the arena erupted in cheers, and numerous flashbulbs went off.

Fu Shaochen straightened his back, ignoring the gossip and filming, and quietly stared at Lu Wangqian.

"What...should you call me?"

He lowered his voice and spoke.

Fu Shaochen only bears a striking resemblance to Fu Shaojing; their voices and tones are completely different. His deliberate imitation only comes close to 70%, but it's enough to fool Lu Wangqian.

"Jing... Brother Jing, you're not dead?!"

Lu Wangqian's expression changed drastically, and he could no longer hide the surprise in his voice. His gaze drifted towards Lu Mingye and Fu Sizhou on the other side.

The two men's expressions also changed drastically. Lu Wangqian felt inexplicably relieved, but less than three seconds later, he heard the person opposite him say, "Just kidding, Mr. Lu."

"I am Fu Shaochen, nice to meet you."

After saying that, Fu Shaochen laughed, revealing the innocence of a young man, as if it had just been an unintentional joke.

Lu Wangqian felt extremely ashamed!

He looked closely at the person in front of him. He was indeed much younger than Fu Shaojing. No matter how much facelift he did, he could never look like he was in his early twenties.

Normally, Lu Wangqian wouldn't be so easily fooled, but... anyone would be shocked to see someone they thought was dead suddenly appear alive in front of them.

Thankfully, he didn't shout out the last question, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Lu Wangqian wanted to get angry. What kind of joke is this? Is this a joke that can be made so casually?

That moment just now almost stirred up Lu Wangqian's unpleasant memories.

Besides bowing his head to Ye Yifan, he also had to bow his head to Fu Shaojing.

Although the three of them were all called the most capable successors, only Lu Wangqian himself knew that the other two were much more capable than him, and he had always been suppressed by the other two.

Therefore, when the news of Fu Shaojing's unexpected death came, Lu Wangqian even opened a bottle of wine to celebrate.

Even though the two had never been enemies, it didn't stop Lu Wangqian from feeling a twisted joy.

He didn't want the ghosts to see him actually celebrating death...

Thank goodness it wasn't a ghost!

Since it was just Fu Shao Chen… Lu Wangqian fumbled through his memories to try and find anything about him. But before he could find much, a voice came from beside him.

"Ah Chen?"

Fu Sizhou walked over quickly and gave Fu Shaochen a big hug.

Lu Mingye followed behind with an unpredictable expression.
