Gu Yuanzhou dropped this line and climbed the stairs without looking back.
I stared at his retreating figure, remaining silent for several seconds.
Whatâs his intention?
After a long while, I felt a particularly hostile gaze from the side. When I turned my head,
It was Ye Mengyan looking at me,
Jealousy was evident in her eyes.
However, she quickly softened her gaze and muttered with a hint of bitterness.
âXiaoyun, congratulations!â
âFor what?â
Ye Mengyan hesitated for a while before asking tentatively,
âCanât you tell that President Gu has⊠feelings for you?â
âWhat feelings? I donât understand!â
âCanât you see he likes you?â
âHa⊠Interesting!â
I sneered, glancing at Ye Mengyan casually.
Ye Mengyan watched me anxiously,
âWhat do you plan to do?â
âDo what?â
âWho would you choose between Gu Yuanzhou and your current boyfriend?â
How could I possibly choose Gu Yuanzhou?
I already made that mistake in my past life, and I wonât choose him again.
However, looking at Ye Mengyanâs anxious gaze, I didnât give her an answer.
She knew four years ago that Gu Yuanzhou was a married man, and she still messed with him. She should know better what kind of consequences she would face.
âYe Mengyan, if one day, Shen Yishu achieves great success and Gu Yuanzhou falls into disgrace, would you regret your choice today?â
Ye Mengyan was taken aback by what I said.
Obviously, her conviction was wavering. She probably thought that such a series of events would never occur, she was tormented, afraid, and couldnât believe such things could happen.
In her eyes, Gu Yuanzhou would always be the better man and Shen Yishu would always be unreliable.
After dropping that line, I turned around and went back to my room.
The next few days seemed to fly by, and I moved to Gu Yuanzhouâs office.
On the day Zhenyiâs new product was launched, Gu Yuanzhou was busy all day long.
However, I could feel that he was watching me.
Sometimes, in busy moments, I would look up to find him staring at me. I also noticed signs of tampering on my desk.
Gu Yuanzhou, what are you looking for? Or have you discovered something?
Before I knew it, it was Saturday, the day of Jiang Jingâs wedding.
Seeing Jiang Jing in a wedding dress, I understood why she had to compromise.
Usually, she dressed so casually that it was hard to tell anything, but after putting on the wedding dress, it was clear that she was pregnant.
Her slightly raised belly was noticeable and could not be ignored any longer.
As soon as we entered the venue and saw the back of Jiang Jingâs dress, Wenya began whispering complaints to me.
âThe Yu Familyâs actions are simply too outrageous!â
âWhatâs wrong?â
I hadnât been involved in the planning process and was unaware of the details.
Wenya was a little angry,
âThey originally said the wedding would be held at the Haitian Hotel, the five-star hotel across the street, and even booked a red carpet. Now they tricked Jiang Jing and switched to the Yayuan Hotel, which doesnât even have three stars. They said ten wedding cars would pick her up, but there was only one. This morning, at the time of the groomâs fetching the bride, she didnât even receive a red packetâŠâ
Under Wenyaâs guidance,
I looked around the wedding venue; indeed, it was somewhat shabby. đreeđ đđnoveđ.com
The red roses used for the decoration were all fake, with just a few balloons placed at the entrance.
The most infuriating thing was, there were only two tables for the brideâs side, with fifteen people squeezed into each. When the meal started, it turned out to be boxed lunchesâŠ
The wedding favors were just a few candies and some wrinkled oranges.
Wenya didnât say anything in front of Ye Mengyan, for fear of upsetting her, but privately slams the Yu family for being tight-fisted.
They didnât even bother to prepare a decent wedding banquet, let alone the betrothal gifts.
Jian Jingâs parents had to swallow their unhappiness so as not to upset their daughter, and the relatives, though unhappy, also kept their faces and didnât speak out.
Until a childâs voice broke the false fa?ade.
âMommy, this rib smells rotten, was it picked out of the trash? EwâŠâ
The little girl vomited on the spot.
Jian Jingâs mother could no longer restrain herself and asked Yu Jiahangâs mother,
âMother-in-law, whatâs the matter with this dish?â
Mother Yu reacted calmly,
âOh dear, this might be the hotelâs oversight. Iâm sorry, weâre a bit neglectful. But itâs unavoidable, everyone can put up with it for now.â
The hypocrisy of Mother Yu finally angered the relatives from the brideâs side, and they started to whisper to each other.
âWhat hotelâs responsibility? You ordered dishes worth six hundred yuan per table, did the hotel subsidize your meals?â
âThis is clearly the groomâs side disregarding the brideâs side, right? They said they wouldnât give dowry, and we even built a house ourselves.â
âTheyâre deliberately bullying Jian Jing because sheâs pregnant, right? If it was my daughter, I would definitely have her go to the hospital first.â
âExactly, look at the calculating faces on them. This kind of a groomâs side doesnât deserve to have heirs.â
The brideâs relatives were very dissatisfied. Mother Yu heard all this, but she was not willing to admit her mistake. Instead, she felt like sending them away,
âEat if you like, or leave, we canât meet your high requirements.â
Her words were practically a dismissal.
Jian Jingâs mother was very angry and was about to leave with her relatives.
But Jian Jing, with tears in her eyes, stopped her mother and whispered,
âMom, donât go. If you leave, how am I supposed to live in the Yu family?â
âBut we canât allow people to step all over us, can we? Look at how the Yus have humiliated us today. We gave birth to a girl and raised her with great hardship, and she even bore them a child. Now look, theyâve neglected us. If you want to be abused, stayâŠâ
For a moment, the banquet seemed to have reached a deadlock.
I could see that Jian Jing was indeed humiliated by her in-laws.
But as an outsider, it didnât feel right for me to intervene.
âCan there be happiness in this kind of marriage?â
A familiar voice sounded by my side. I turned my head, and Ding Yinuo was there, seemingly watching everything that had happened.
âWhen did you get here?â
âHave you never noticed me?â
âMr. Ding, you really appear out of nowhere!â
âIf no one steps in, I guess she wouldnât feel good after the marriage! As your good friend, donât you want to help her?â
âIâm afraid that my intervention would make things more complicatedâŠâ
I also voiced my concerns. But to my surprise, Ding Yinuo stood up upon hearing this.
âLadies and gentlemenâŠplease follow me to the hotel across the street, my treat!â
The guests were all somewhat skeptical upon hearing this. Mother Yu, hearing this, got a bit angry and walked up to Ding Yinuo,
âWhich side of the family are you from? Are you joking?â
âOh⊠Well, the groomâs family is really too poor, and we sympathize with that. But no matter how poor, we canât lose our face, right? Come, everyone, such a big celebration as a wedding should be done properly! Please take your personal belongings and follow me to the Haitian Hotel across the street.â
Under Ding Yinuoâs encouragement, the relatives really did move forward to the Haitian Hotel across the street.
I felt like Ding Yinuo was up to something, and stopped him, whispering,
âA wedding banquet at Haitian could cost tens of thousands, are you planning to pay that from your own pocket?â
Ding Yinuo smiled, âWhy the rush, just wait and see the drama!â
