Chapter 228: False Marriage, Empathy
When the banquet was almost halfway, Wu Jie, who was late, cautiously rushed into the banquet hall.
Originally, she didn't plan to come tonight, but she couldn't bear Tang Meijia's invitation, and she heard that Jiang Beichuan was also there tonight, so she secretly ran over without telling her parents.
Although her parents are also here, there are so many people here, and the banquet hall is so big, she is careful not to bump into her parents.
Carefully shuttling through the crowd, Wu Jie covered half of her face with one hand, for fear that she would bump into an acquaintance.
Just passed through the crowd and arrived in a corner, ready to look for the trace of Jiang Beichuan, but saw Du Shiyan standing in the center of the crowd and Gu Xiaoman, who had always been elegant and introverted, beside him.
A dreamy long trailing gauze skirt, and the feathers embellished on the chest have a sense of charm.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Wu Jie felt that the temperament flowing out of Gu Xiaoman's body at this moment was really intoxicating, especially after putting on makeup, the whole person's feeling had climbed a little, just like a peacock who had been majestic, standing beside Du Shiyan at the moment, welcoming everyone's admiration and praise.
Ay?
She actually praised Gu Xiaoman for coming!
How could she admit defeat!
Taking a deep breath, Wu Jie straightened her waist without admitting defeat.
Looking around the entire banquet hall, she found that there was no one here who she was familiar with, and when Wu Jie seemed to be in the jungle, suddenly two familiar figures attracted her attention.
Jiangbei River!
Finally found him!
Speeding up his pace, Wu Jie walked towards Jiang Beichuan.
As low-key as ever, Jiang Beichuan and Zhong Yi were chatting at the bar in the corner.
Seeing Wu Jie, who was excited, approaching, Zhongyi's face sank slightly.
glanced at Wei Ziyan, who was sitting with Lu Yao, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, and then raised her eyebrows and signaled to Jiang Beichuan, "Your suitor is here." β
Suitors?
Jiang Beichuan was puzzled, and then the giant floor-to-ceiling window behind Zhong Yi saw Wu Jie who was approaching.
He chuckled helplessly, then leaned over slightly, and whispered in Zhong Yi's ear: "Nominally, you are my fiancΓ©e, shouldn't you show your right as the main owner?"
Hearing this, Zhong Yi made a very surprised expression, then sneered, waved his hand at the two girls who were talking not far away, and then teased in shock: "Teacher Jiang, it turns out that you also know that I am the main master?"
Wei Ziyan, who was greeted by her, looked dazed, but when she met Jiang Beichuan's eyes, she smiled happily, and the bright little tiger teeth became more and more dazzling under the light.
Nodding approvingly, Jiang Beichuan also smiled and said, "Miss Zhong, are you sure you can't make good use of such a free excuse of mine?" Or do you really think I'm sorry for you, okay, I'll come to the door early tomorrow morning to plead guilty, and then tell Uncle Zhong the truth." β
After speaking, Jiang Beichuan pretended to sigh with pity, "I'm just being scolded a few words, but I don't know if Miss Zhong will still be so leisurely as she is now." β
The threat in his words was so obvious, and sure enough, after listening to his words, his expression changed from leisurely to the corners of his mouth tightened from watching the excitement at the beginning.
The throat rolled, and the hand holding the glass tightened until the phalanges were white.
This Jiangbeichuan is a well-dressed beast!
As a teacher, it is difficult to hide the treachery of the businessman!
Taking a deep breath, Zhongyi slowly turned his eyes to the wine glass, silently waiting for the poor little fish to enter the urn.
Walking over in small steps, Wu Jie shouted softly: "Teacher Jiang, Miss Zhong." β
Hearing the sound, Zhong Yi's face showed a touch of gloom, and Wu Jiese, who was frightened with a glance, shrank his neck.
Sighing silently, Jiang Beichuan could only turn around and see Wu Jie in a burgundy dress.
Without the slightest wave of eyes, it seems that he is just a stranger.
"Teacher Jiang, it's really you. Wu Jie opened her mouth in surprise, with unconcealable joy on her face.
Is it really you?
Zhong Yi sighed helplessly, and muttered in disgust, "Isn't it just for Jiang Beichuan." β
Five years ago, Zhong Yi came to the door in person to get engaged to Jiang Beichuan.
At that time, Jiang Beichuan was stunned for half an hour before he asked: "Why?"
Why?
Because the one she loves doesn't love her.
Because she didn't want to fall victim to the family marriage.
Because she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, expecting that person to come back.
"Because you're best friends with him. β
Who 'he' is, only they know each other.
Maybe he didn't meet the right person either, it doesn't matter who he is anyway, let alone just acting, so Jiang Beichuan readily agreed.
In the past five years, because of the fake marriage contract between the two, the two have saved a lot of trouble, but because of this, they often have to dress up in love on some occasions.
Until I met Wei Ziyan.
At the beginning, Jiang Beichuan always thought that the teacher demanded himself, but when he really met love and the right person, everything came to naught.
He wanted to be with her, always together, for the rest of his life.
So, that day, he wanted to tell Zhong Yi that if the time came, the relationship between them would be dissolved.
Although it is a fake marriage contract, others don't know that if one day his relationship with Wei Ziyan is exposed, it will definitely affect Wei Ziyan's reputation, so he wants to give her all and not let her be hurt in the slightest.
But when he was going to go that day, he saw her sitting in the store looking at a dress in a daze, and that dress was worn on Gu Xiaoman's body.
When he saw the dress Gu Xiaoman was wearing today, Jiang Beichuan was also taken aback, he didn't expect that the dress that had been cherished for so many years would be easily taken out.
Although she didn't say it, Jiang Beichuan knew how important that dress was to her.
He remembered that it was twelve years ago, Du Shiyan's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and he liked to design the dress himself, and wanted to wear it to confess to him in person, but the dress had just been finished, and she hadn't had time to try it, but Du Shiyan took the hand of another girl.
Since then, the dress has been shelved by her.
Later, the favorite brand was made, and the dress was finally brought out of the corner and hung in the store after nearly seven years of dust.
Sometimes acting, he will go to the favorite store several times from time to time, and every time he sees the dress, it seems to be an inconspicuous position, but it carries the deepest emotions.
From her, he knew that she had slowly walked out of that crush that ended without a problem, but after Du Shiyan's marriage news was exposed in a small area, he saw for the first time that he couldn't cry his own love.
They have known each other since childhood, and they grew up with Du Shiyan, Jiang Beichuan knows his feelings for Du Shiyan, but it is a pity that Luohua is intentionally ruthless, and Du Shiyan does not have her in his heart.
It's just that no one thought that the love in his youth would continue for so many years.
Looking at Gu Xiaoman's happiness standing with Du Shiyan in a dress, and then pretending to be a strong smile with Zhongyi, Jiang Beichuan felt bitter in his heart.
After a long time, he had already regarded her as his own sister, looking at a beautiful girl who should have been wanton Yang Sa, because of the silence of a relationship that he couldn't get, he couldn't empathize but could feel the sourness.
Before he met that person, he didn't know that a relationship could really change a person's life, but fortunately, he did.
