Chapter 116 Engagement Dinner(1/2)
That being said, she was still very nervous.
It was not until Tang Lin and the others rushed to their home that she felt a little comforted.
"Chenchen, you are so beautiful in this dress!"
"Yes, sister, Brother Jingrui is intent."
Compared to the amazement between Yu Tong and Xia Lixin, Tang Lin is the calmest.
"How did he treat you?"
While they went downstairs to wait for the car to come, Tang Lin stepped forward and held her arm, but there was a hint of worry on her face.
"It's pretty good. I basically didn't ask me to cook anything, and the food made by Mrs. Liu was also delicious."
She knew that Linlin was still worried about herself, but to be honest, she was already very satisfied with her current life.
"That's right, even I can see that Gu Jingrui really cares about you, but why did he do that back then..."
Tang Lin smiled bitterly.
As Xia Lichen's relationship was already like a sister, the person she was most optimistic about back then was Chen Shaohua, but now she is cheating on fate, and the person who married Xia Lichen has become Gu Jingrui.
And it's the same man who has hurt her many times.
"I have told him that it's over. We are all ordinary people, so just live well in the present."
"Chenchen... you should have the best! So I'm so excited now. No matter who you are with, as long as the other party treats you sincerely and not falsely, you won't be wronged, even Gu Jingrui will be fine."
Chen Shaohua is already a thing of the past, and she knows very well that this may not change again, so she will have some selfish wishes that her favorite sister must be happy.
The car drove all the way to the Gu family's old house, and you could see the bright lights in front of you from afar.
Because Tang Lin and the others were with her tonight, she did not let Mrs. Liu come with her.
She secretly held Tang Lin's hand tightly, not knowing where Gu Jingrui was now.
"Madam, please."
A man who looked like a housekeeper stood outside to greet him the moment he opened the car door.
Yu Tong also felt very novel. She and Tang Lin each held Xia Lichen's hand and walked in, while Xia Lixin followed behind.
"It's worthy of being the Gu family. I didn't expect there would be fireworks tonight Li Chen."
When they walked into the yard, the fireworks were so beautiful that she was stunned.
"It seems that they also attach great importance to Chenchen."
Yu Tong finally felt relieved. After all, she knew too little about the Gu family and Gu Jingrui, and she had worried that the other party would not treat Xia Lichen sincerely.
Compared to the beautiful fireworks, she actually wants to know where Gu Jingrui is now, because there are more than just them here today, and there are people coming and going along the way. From time to time, people even cast very curious eyes at her.
So she was a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and almost as soon as I entered the door, I saw him waiting for her there.
"Next, Li Chen and I will lose our companionship. Sister Yu Tong and Tang Lin, you can just walk around in there."
Gu Jingrui slapped his finger and specially called a servant to accompany Xia Lixin and the others to visit the hall.
"I understand, but you must not bring us Li Chen away!"
Tang Lin smiled and joked, while Xia Lixin couldn't help but chuckled twice, and Yu Tong just nodded with relief.
"Are we going to call your father later?"
She took Gu Jingrui's arm, and when she saw the tired look in the other person's eyes, she knew that he must have been busy greeting the guests before.
"Not yet, but when the guests arrive, we will naturally show up among the crowd."
At this time, Xia Lichen looked so gentle, and she was rarely dressed up. The water-blue evening dress made her look like a mermaid.
But he didn't say anything about this because he knew that she was a thin-skinned person and could not resist praise.
"To be honest, I'm actually a little sleepy now."
Xia Lichen said with a little embarrassed laugh.
She really started to change her dresses, make her hair, nails, etc. from the afternoon. If she could, she would really want to fall asleep, but she wouldn't care wherever she could.
"It's only tonight, you can hold on."
Gu Jingrui patted the back of her hand comfortably, then took her to the dining table in the center of the hall, and asked the servant to bring her a cup of black tea.
And there happened to be a few of his usual friends standing there.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for Xia Lichen to be happy, but fortunately she has rich experience in working experience, so she has been missed.
"I said that you should not be too nervous, they are easy to get along with."
When we met, we noticed the embarrassment that flashed across her face, Gu Jingrui felt a little funny.
"No, I'm just not used to such occasions."
Why didn’t the Gu family come yet?
And at this moment, Xia Lichen finally saw Gu Yanrui who had not seen for a long time in the crowd.
At this time, he was holding a glass of wine and having a great time talking to the guests. Maybe he noticed someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to Xia Lichen.
In fact, when she returned to the company before, she had basically never seen Gu Yanrui again. She often heard that the company is now responsible for several projects, so the chairman is also very busy.
The other party smiled at her and then continued to talk to the guests around him.
"Why do you always stare at my elder brother? Could it be that you think he is more attractive than me?"
Gu Jingrui naturally also caught Xia Lichen's abnormality and whispered in a low voice unhappy manner.
"No! But to be honest, why are your hostility towards your elder brother still so strongly?"
I don’t know if he was joking, but the other party was Gu Yanrui, so she couldn’t understand.
"I will never be able to reconcile him in my life. It is already great to be able to do what he is now."
Gu Jingrui said, then pulled Xia Lichen and took her elsewhere.
Xia Lichen couldn't say how many thrilling waves were surging in such a calm atmosphere.
But then before the two of them had walked a few steps, they met an old acquaintance of Xia Lichen again.
"You look good, congratulations."
At this time, Chen Jiawen's expression was not happy or unhappy, but Xia Lichen could not speak.
These two people who misunderstood her together back then became her nominal husband and the other...
"Thank you, Chen Jiawen, I think one day you will definitely meet your happiness."
She smiled calmly and politely gave the other party a hug gift.
I just don’t know if it was her illusion. Chen Jiawen used his arms so hard when he hugged her...
Gu Jingrui coughed twice awkwardly, and then he held Xia Lichen's hand.
"It's not easy for us to know people in high school to be friends until now."
Gu Jingrui always treats people with such a smile, but she can't see through it.
"Yes, but I have to admire that Brother Gu has been so smart since then."
Chen Jiawen seemed to sneer and replied almost without hesitation.
Why do you feel that the atmosphere is a bit obedient? Xia Lichen secretly pinched Gu Jingrui's palm and signaled him not to talk too much.
"Of course, there are many capable people. Chen Shaoyi's talent has aroused many hearts behind his back."
He naturally heard that Chen Jiawen was implying that he deliberately made him misunderstand Xia Lichen's incident.
But there was one thing that the other party really ignored, that was, Chen Jiawen really liked Su Yarou back then, but he pretended to be a good person.
"We have something to do, let's talk later."
I really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so Xia Lichen pulled Gu Jingrui and ran away without looking back.
"Please do you make a mistake? He is just our guest. You don't need to worry too much about him."
She said to Gu Jingrui with a slightly reproachful tone, but the other party still looked at her with a smile.
"What's wrong with this? We are already a legal couple anyway, right? It would be better to let him stop thinking earlier."
Is it a legal couple? This sentence seems to have some magic power, which hit Xia Lichen's heart at once.
That's right, it's an indisputable fact that she has obtained a marriage certificate with Gu Jingrui now, and she just ignored it. Since Chen Jiawen has come tonight, is he also...
Sure enough, when the guests arrived, when the two stood at the highest point on the second floor and spoke to the crowd downstairs, she saw the familiar figure in the crowd outside.
Fortunately, Gu Jingrui made a speech throughout the whole process, so she only had a symbolic meaning. After everything was over, she even walked downstairs with some unsteady steps, without even taking care of Gu Jingrui behind her.
"Is it because I saw him that I feel so restless?"
Gu Jingrui followed her to the lounge. At this time, there were only two of them. Xia Lichen in front of him sat on the sofa with a melancholy expression on his face, and he immediately understood.
"Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. When he comes, you go and face him directly. With me here, it won't be like that."
To be continued...
