Upon hearing the compliment from Lu Xize, both Lu's father and Shen Lishan frowned, displeased. The guests around them, however, were discussing as if they had just stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
"Oh, I've heard that it was originally Shen Mu who was engaged to Lu Shao. He broke it off because he thought she was disfigured. I bet he's regretting it now."
"If it were me, I'd be kicking myself. Although Shen Qingxue is pretty enough, she can't compare to Shen Mu's beauty!"
"Do you think he might back out of the engagement ceremony? That would be quite a show!"
"It's possible. Look at how stunning Shen Mu looks. He might just be here to cause a scene!"
Shen Qingxue clenched her fists tightly. She used to be known as the most beautiful woman in Bin Hai City, but now that Shen Mu had arrived, she suddenly became just an "okay-looking" person, losing all her charm.
Xu Ruyun stood behind Shen Qingxue and whispered, "Qingxue, be mindful of your status."
