Zhang Ling just wanted to criticize who came at such an inappropriate time?
Li Xiang walked in with steady steps, just like a movie king walking on the red carpet.
All the women who were obsessed with the handsome guy swarmed away one by one with screams, eagerly looking forward to being looked at one more time. This also attracted the jealous eyes of their male companions.
Zhang Ling saw in Li Xiang's eyes that there was a hint of coldness in Li Xiang's smile, and there was a sense of alienation that made people feel uncomfortable getting along with him at first glance.
This suddenly felt very similar to the ex-boyfriend that came to her mind.
That moment was like going back to the passionate love period with my first love many years ago.
No matter what happened, he was always by her side as soon as she could connect with her first love.
Her smile at this moment was like honey oozing out of it.
Zhang Ling doesn't know what's wrong. She thought she had completely dusted off the memory of her first love, or erased it, but it seems that after meeting Li Xiang, things about her first love will always pop up in her mind.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Xiang to know Zhang Ling's messy thoughts for the time being.
He was more willing to believe that Zhang Ling's honey-like smile belonged to him.
The previous head waiter elegantly held a bottle of red wine and two Bordeaux glasses on a tray, following closely behind him, just like the attendants of ancient dignitaries.
He wanted to use the method of personally delivering wine to highlight Zhang Ling's uniqueness.
A few onlookers near the front made a commotion.
"Does anyone know who that handsome guy is? He's not here to find me."
"Isn't this cousin Li Xi? Oh my god, he's much more handsome than the cover photo on Fortune Weekly. I'm so obsessed with him."
"Li Xi, I really want to know if it's still too late for a divorce for your cousin?"
…
The most confused person now is Li Xi.
She has always been domineering, and she is not close to Li Xiang. She relies on the favor of her family elders, and at most they only have a financial support relationship.
Before, Li Xiang made it clear that he would not attend her wedding, so she planned to organize a class reunion. But now that Li Xiang appeared here, Li Xi felt extremely uneasy.
So, he took the initiative to greet me and asked with a bit of arrogance: "Cousin, you don't seem to be my classmate. Come here..."
Li Xiang did not stop beside Li Xi. He smiled in front of everyone, stared at Zhang Ling and walked straight away.
Li Xi was ignored by Li Xiang, which made her feel very humiliated for a moment. Her sensitive ears vaguely heard someone laughing at her because of this.
From the moment Li Xiang walked in, Zhang Ling's eyes were full of surprise. How could Li Xiang suddenly be able to stand up and walk?
When she saw the food delivery foreman following him again, she suddenly understood the purpose of asking her to sign the order. These were Li Xiang's arrangements. She took the initiative to greet him with tears of gratitude.
Pretending to be her boyfriend can also make Li Xi, who has always been hostile to her, take the initiative to call him "cousin".
How could she not feel anything wrong with all this?
Her sensibility completely overpowered her rationality.
I just thought that Li Xiang in front of me...
Oh, no, first love finally came again at her most critical moment.
"I'm sorry, please give in. He's here to find me." Zhang Ling did not directly address her by name.
People present who heard this sentence either exclaimed that Zhang Ling was talking crazy, or shook their heads and laughed, or three or two people gathered together to continue a new topic...
Zhang Yu, who was standing in front of Zhang Ling, was almost pushed to the ground. When she saw her wife's obsession with Li Xiang, plus the bad things Zhang Ling said before.
Zhang Yu picked up the red wine bottle and drank the remaining half of the bottle in one breath.
Cong Yun heard Zhang Ling's words and jumped out in disbelief and shouted: "Impossible, this is impossible! Brother Zhang, didn't you say that the school beauty Zhang Ling was kept by a bad old man? Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang,
You should say something!"
Zhang Yu, who was too drunk, may not be able to give Cong Yun an answer for the time being.
Zhang Yu looked like a lunatic who escaped from a lunatic asylum with the help of alcohol.
No matter who he meets, he will always think of him as Zhang Ling. The scene will be recreated and he will confess his love to him, including his wife who wants to pull him away.
Of course, it wasn't just Cong Yun who couldn't believe it. The person in the banquet hall who couldn't believe it the most was Li Xi.
Li Xi learned from Aunt Wang that the person Zhang Ling met on a blind date was just a migrant worker. This news was confirmed by Zhang Ling's father.
Now, seeing Li Xiang going straight to Zhang Ling, Li Xi couldn't accept it emotionally, and her mental state was on the verge of collapse.
Later, Wang Li grabbed Li Xi's wrist and persuaded him in his ear: "Li Xi, today is your grand wedding, and there may be reporters dormant at the scene. You must not be impulsive..."
Li Xi was obviously not a brainless person. Before Wang Li could finish speaking, she stared at Li Xiang's back fiercely and said, "That's enough, stop talking."
Li Xiang was originally worried, but when he saw Zhang Ling approaching her with a bright smile and walking faster and faster, he suddenly felt that it was worthwhile to see a doctor for an injection to seal the wound.
He gradually stopped and said with a bit of self-blame in his tone: "Zhang Ling! I'm sorry, I'm late."
This sentence exploded like a thunder, shattering the dreams and fragile hearts of many women present.
Li Xi couldn't believe his ears. He pinched Wang Li's wrist tightly like a pair of pliers and said, "What did he just say to Zhang Ling?"
Wang Li saw Li Xiang open his arms and hug Zhang Ling tightly, with a happy look on his face, and he was whispering something secretly in his mouth.
Perhaps because she was shocked by the scene in front of her, Wang Li couldn't feel the pain in her wrist at all and said somewhat dullly:
"Li Xi, I think you definitely heard clearly what Li Xiang was saying. Even if you don't want to believe it, the scene in front of you has to convince you. Your cousin Li Xiang is indeed here specifically for Zhang Ling.
"
Li Xi really wanted to rush over and bully them wantonly with the protection of the family elders like before. But she knew in her heart that she could not do this anymore.
Li Xi knew that Li Xiang was able to dominate the shopping malls and had extraordinary ruthless methods. Even her newlywed husband felt ashamed when she mentioned it. That's why Li Xiang could use her wedding to completely break away from the control of the family.
If she provokes him again now, it will be tantamount to digging her own grave.
She could only say with wireless hatred in her eyes: "You don't need to remind me, I know."
Zhang Ling in Li Xiang's arms closed her eyes, "You are a little biting flea. You bit someone and then you jumped to nowhere? You left me alone to endure the endless indifference in this world. If I had known you were as ruthless and indifferent as them
, even if I am self-destructive and sacrilegious, I will slap it down with one palm." (The metaphor comes from John Donne's "Flea")
Flea is Zhang Ling's pet name for her first love. But at this moment, she calmly said it to Li Wan.
It seems that for her, Li Xiang has completely replaced her first love.
Li Xiang was slightly startled when he heard such a strange title and accepted it calmly. They actually liked the same metaphysical poet.
However, what also confused him was that he was not another person bitten by a flea, but was said to be a flea that sucked blood.
Li Xiang doesn't want to think too much about this for the time being, he just wants to enjoy the sudden happiness.
"No, no, no, no, I don't want you to give up your pride and nobility. I would like to submit to you as an eternal honor." He said in her ear like a wedding oath in a high voice.
Zhang Ling clenched her small fist, tapped Li Xiang's back twice, and said with a bit of coquettishness in her tone: "Where did you learn that glib tongue? But I still like it very much."
The common people who were close to them all looked at them dumbfounded, because they couldn't understand what riddles these two people were talking about.
But common people like them really envied Zhang Ling and his wife for having a language that only each other could understand.
Suddenly, Zhang Yu's wife raised her hand angrily and slapped him hard, and then the curses echoed in the banquet hall, causing Zhang Ling to get up and check as if she was awakened from a dream.
"Well, Zhang Yu, I have become a yellow-faced mother-in-law after giving birth to and raising children for you. You heartless thing, you are still talking about that vixen Zhang Ling in front of so many people. You should take it for granted.
I am a dead person!"
Zhang Yu's feet were weak due to alcohol, and he almost fell down because of the slap. He regained his footing, with scarlet eyes, and with a swift slap, he directly knocked his wife to the ground.
If someone hadn't been pulling him around, Zhang Yu's evil feet would have been ready to take turns attacking the woman lying on the ground.
Even so, Zhang Yu still cursed relentlessly: "For the sake of this family, I pretend to be a grandson and act as a gunman everywhere. You are a ignorant woman, you can't be obedient to your husband like other people's wives."
, and you dare to beat me in front of outsiders. Believe it or not, I..."
It is said that failed men like to compare their wives with others. Apparently Zhang Yu is such a man.
When Zhang Yu said the words "to be a gunman", he accidentally pointed his finger at Li Xi.
This action made Li Xi instantly frightened.
Li Xi glanced at Zhang Yu's wife, who was being helped up by everyone. Her evil smile instantly turned to hatred, and she walked over in a few steps and poured all the red wine in the glass in front of Zhang Yu.
"Who is it? Dare you..." Because of the drinking, Zhang Yu's mind suddenly became clearer.
When he saw it was Li Xi, he instantly turned into a cunning fox. He touched the red wine on his face with his hand, licked the remaining red wine on his fingers in front of Li Xi, and said with an expression of enjoyment:
"Hmm...it turns out that the wine in classmate Li Xi's glass is so different. Fragrant, sweet, really sweet!"
This action and words really disgusted many students, including Li Xi himself.
In order to achieve his goal, Li Xi suppressed his anger and wanted to kick Zhang Yu to death on the spot, pointed at his nose and cursed:
"Zhang Yu, don't do this to me! You've grown up after a few sips of wine. You hit a woman at a class reunion organized by me? Apologize. Now, apologize to your wife right away."
Many female classmates listened to Li Xi's words and stepped forward to help.
Zhang Yu took a few steps closer to Li Xi and said in a low voice with a bit of mystery: "Classmate Li Xi, you don't have to be so awesome because I have been helping you with things. As a man, I also want to save face.
"
"What?" Li Xi shouted in shock, "As a man, you need face, but we women don't need face!"
This sentence resonated with countless female classmates. More female classmates joined the crusade against Zhang Yu.
"I...that's not what I meant by what I just said. Li Xi, you...you have to say something for me!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but asked for help.
Li Xi felt that the time was ripe, and spoke seriously again: "Zhang Yu, I can tell you, if you don't apologize to your wife today, with the power of my Li family in Wuchuan, your reputation will definitely be discredited."
Zhang Yu knew in his heart that all this not only established Li Xi's majestic image in the hearts of his female classmates; it also sounded the alarm and told him that he must be clear about his situation.
Zhang Yu glanced at Zhang Ling in distress, then sighed and apologized as Li Xi asked.
Li Xiang clearly noticed Zhang Yu's eyes, and said in Zhang Ling's ear with a bit of ridicule:
"It turns out that Madam is so charming. It's just a flea bite. Now she has to guard against being noticed by a bad boy. I don't want to have another bad boy-like love child."
