Chapter 97: 97 He Stirred Up Trouble_1
I stared at his retreating figure, remaining silent for several seconds.
What’s 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.
“Xiaoyun, congratulations!”
“For what?”
Ye Mengyan hesitated for a while before asking tentatively,
“Can’t you tell that President Gu has… feelings for you?”
“What feelings? I don’t understand!”
“Can’t you see he likes you?”
“Ha… Interesting!”
I sneered, glancing at Ye Mengyan casually.
Ye Mengyan watched me anxiously,
“What do you plan to do?”
“Do what?”
“Who would you choose between Gu Yuanzhou and your current boyfriend?”
How could I possibly choose Gu Yuanzhou?
I already made that mistake in my past life, and I won’t choose him again.
However, looking at Ye Mengyan’s anxious gaze, I didn’t 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.
“Ye Mengyan, if one day, Shen Yishu achieves great success and Gu Yuanzhou falls into disgrace, would you regret your choice today?”
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 couldn’t 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 Yuanzhou’s office.
On the day Zhenyi’s 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 Jing’s 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 Jing’s dress, Wenya began whispering complaints to me.
“The Yu Family’s actions are simply too outrageous!”
“What’s wrong?”
I hadn’t been involved in the planning process and was unaware of the details.
Wenya was a little angry,
“They 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 doesn’t 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 groom’s fetching the bride, she didn’t even receive a red packet…”
Under Wenya’s guidance,
I looked around the wedding venue; indeed, it was somewhat shabby.
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 bride’s side, with fifteen people squeezed into each. When the meal started, it turned out to be boxed lunches…
The wedding favors were just a few candies and some wrinkled oranges.
Wenya didn’t say anything in front of Ye Mengyan, for fear of upsetting her, but privately slams the Yu family for being tight-fisted.
They didn’t even bother to prepare a decent wedding banquet, let alone the betrothal gifts.
Jian Jing’s parents had to swallow their unhappiness so as not to upset their daughter, and the relatives, though unhappy, also kept their faces and didn’t speak out.
Until a child’s voice broke the false façade.
“Mommy, this rib smells rotten, was it picked out of the trash? Ew…”
The little girl vomited on the spot.
Jian Jing’s mother could no longer restrain herself and asked Yu Jiahang’s mother,
“Mother-in-law, what’s the matter with this dish?”
Mother Yu reacted calmly,
“Oh dear, this might be the hotel’s oversight. I’m sorry, we’re a bit neglectful. But it’s unavoidable, everyone can put up with it for now.”
The hypocrisy of Mother Yu finally angered the relatives from the bride’s side, and they started to whisper to each other.
“What hotel’s responsibility? You ordered dishes worth six hundred yuan per table, did the hotel subsidize your meals?”
“This is clearly the groom’s side disregarding the bride’s side, right? They said they wouldn’t give dowry, and we even built a house ourselves.”
“They’re deliberately bullying Jian Jing because she’s pregnant, right? If it was my daughter, I would definitely have her go to the hospital first.”
“Exactly, look at the calculating faces on them. This kind of a groom’s side doesn’t deserve to have heirs.”
The bride’s 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,
“Eat if you like, or leave, we can’t meet your high requirements.”
Her words were practically a dismissal.
Jian Jing’s 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,
“Mom, don’t go. If you leave, how am I supposed to live in the Yu family?”
“But we can’t 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, they’ve neglected us. If you want to be abused, stay…”
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 didn’t feel right for me to intervene.
“Can there be happiness in this kind of marriage?”
A familiar voice sounded by my side. I turned my head, and Ding Yinuo was there, seemingly watching everything that had happened.
“When did you get here?”
“Have you never noticed me?”
“Mr. Ding, you really appear out of nowhere!”
“If no one steps in, I guess she wouldn’t feel good after the marriage! As your good friend, don’t you want to help her?”
“I’m afraid that my intervention would make things more complicated…”
I also voiced my concerns. But to my surprise, Ding Yinuo stood up upon hearing this.
“Ladies and gentlemen…please follow me to the hotel across the street, my treat!”
The guests were all somewhat skeptical upon hearing this. Mother Yu, hearing this, got a bit angry and walked up to Ding Yinuo,
“Which side of the family are you from? Are you joking?”
“Oh… Well, the groom’s family is really too poor, and we sympathize with that. But no matter how poor, we can’t 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.”
Under Ding Yinuo’s 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,
“A wedding banquet at Haitian could cost tens of thousands, are you planning to pay that from your own pocket?”
Ding Yinuo smiled, “Why the rush, just wait and see the drama!”
