Chapter Ninety-One: This Marriage Is Not Betrothed
An Zimo's engagement banquet was held in a famous hotel owned by An Shi.
When the guests gathered, Ji Xincheng got off the car and met several peers in the industry, and they were all big names.
Ji Xincheng didn't want to rub off on the popularity of others, but obviously, Gu Shaoze stood by her side, and she could not easily treat herself as an invisible person.
"Xincheng? Hello! I didn't expect to meet you here, do you want to change your name to Mrs. Gu? β
"It's Xin Cheng, I've always wanted to see you before, and sure enough, I'm more tense than on TV, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Your new movie, I've seen the premiere, it's very good, you don't have to care too much about what netizens say, the most important thing is that you feel that you have made progress in your major......"
The big names, some of whom are commensurate with her peers, and some of whom greet her with the generosity of the old-timers who patiently support the younger generations.
Ji Xincheng looked flattered on the surface, but in fact, he was very tormented in his heart, hoping that the other party would leave quickly.
It's really that this favor is all about drunkards, not in wine, and in the end the topic will always fall on Gu Shaoze, she has a feeling of being used as a ladder to climb up, which is very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Gu Shaoze is at ease and handy.
It wasn't until Ji Xincheng blinked frequently and glanced at him that the man was a little restrained, and those who came up to say hello were simply brought over, and finally took Ji Xincheng to see An Zimo, which was half an hour later.
"My engagement banquet has become the home of the two of you!"
An Zimo handed Gu Shaoze and Ji Xincheng a glass of red wine to each of them, and couldn't help teasing.
At this moment, in the corner, just the three of them, it is Ji Xincheng's meaning, the shoes she is wearing today are a little too high and tight, and her feet are already very tired, and at this time, there is nowhere to half lean on Gu Shaoze to rest.
"Where's your fiancΓ©e?"
Gu Shaoze asked.
"My mom's side."
An Zimo took a sip of wine, which was quite tasteless.
This scene is too familiar, the first time Ji Xincheng saw An Zimo was a birthday banquet he held on the yacht, and it was also the three of them at that time, Gu Shaoze asked him where his girlfriend was? An Zimo also replied in the same way.
Ji Xincheng always had a feeling that Shu Yan seemed to be in a corner, like the last time, he would suddenly jump out to find An Zimo......
"Why are you stunned? Bad wine? β
Hearing An Zimo ask, Ji Xincheng came back to his senses.
"No, it's good!"
Even though she hadn't taken a sip yet, she said the same.
An Zimo drank most of the cup of white dry in a blink of an eye, and wanted to take it, Gu Shaoze blocked his hand, his eyes were in one direction, An Zimo and Ji Xincheng looked at the same time, and a girl in a pure white silk evening dress walked towards them.
The girl is slightly chubby, but it feels just the right amount of plumpness, and the two pear vortices are very good when she laughs.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji, hello! I'm Xin Yuan. β
She walked up to Ji Xincheng and stretched out her hand first, her hand was wearing a silver-white engagement ring with the same style as An Zimo.
"Hello!"
Ji Xincheng stretched out his hand and shook her hand, and he already had a first impression in his heart, this is a girl with good popularity.
After also shaking hands politely with Gu Shaoze, Xin Yuan stood beside An Zimo, not far away.
An Zimo didn't look at her, and his eyes always fell on other places.
Ji Xincheng raised his wine glass to Xin Yuan, and his eyes fell on An Zimo's face: "Congratulations to the two!" β
"Thank you!" Xin Yuan thanked him.
An Zimo reluctantly responded.
They didn't have a lot of time to be relatively silent, and soon, An Zimo and Xin Yuan were busy entertaining their respective elders.
Ji Xincheng let go of Gu Shaoze's hand and looked around to find a place to sit, but there were too many people, and it was really rare to find a secluded place.
"You wait for me."
Gu Shaoze said this because he saw an elder he knew walking towards him, and the other party had already greeted him, so it was not good to leave directly, but Ji Xincheng seemed to be unable to stand for a moment, so he spoke out to explain to her.
"I'll go over there and find a place to sit, and you'll come to me when you're free."
As she spoke, the man was out of his sight.
To find a place where he could loosen his shoes, Ji Xincheng cautiously searched for a long time, and finally at the back of a dessert table, he planned to move a stool to sit in the shadows.
Unexpectedly, the stool looked like it was no more than a few branches, but it was so heavy that she didn't lift it for a while.
"I'll help you."
A clear male voice burst into his ears, Ji Xincheng looked back, and couldn't help but be stunned.
It wasn't until the other man took the chair easily in her hand and asked her where she wanted to put it that she pointed to the place in the shadows in a dull way.
"Qiu Shang? Long time no see. β
"Long time no see!"
He cut his hair very short, probably for the sake of the new play, and his smile is still warm and bustling, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Do you know An Zimo too?"
Ji Xincheng couldn't help asking.
"No, Xin Yuan is my classmate, and I came with my classmates."
"Ah, what a coincidence!"
"How have you been? Is it all going well? β
"It's good."
"I heard that you are going to get married, congratulations first."
Ji Xincheng was silent, looked at Qiu Shang's eyes cautiously, didn't see anything, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
"Thank you, but the exact time hasn't been set yet."
Qiu Shang nodded, and then the topic of the two turned to the recent major events in the entertainment industry, expressing their own objective opinions, but they were never cold.
When Ji Xincheng's mobile phone rang, Qiu Shang was talking about his new play.
"Excuse me, I'll answer the phone."
It was a fixed number, and Ji Xincheng felt that there was nothing important, so he didn't avoid Qiu Shang and picked it up directly.
Unexpectedly, the other party was from the hospital, and when he came up, he said that Shu Yan was born prematurely and was bleeding, and he couldn't contact Si Qian, so she asked her, the second emergency contact, to sign immediately......
"I'll be right here!"
Ji Xincheng was in a hurry, and before he could put down his feet on the chair, he had already gotten up.
If Qiu Shang hadn't reacted quickly to catch her, she would have to remove a layer of skin on her knee without a minor injury.
Fearfully holding Qiu Shang's arm and getting up, Ji Xincheng hurriedly thanked him.
Qiu Shang let go when he saw her standing firmly, and there was a little palpitation on his face, "Be careful." β
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'm going to go first!"
"Okay, goodbye then!"
"Goodbye!"
Ji Xincheng held the mobile phone and separated from Qiu Shang, and only then turned around, he saw Gu Shaoze who came in a hurry, and his footsteps stopped in front of a high table not far away, looking at his gloomy face, obviously seeing Fang Cai's scene.
But Ji Xincheng couldn't care about that much, so he stepped forward and pulled Gu Shaoze away, while saying:
"Shu Yan has an accident, you take me to the hospital!"
Her tone was very serious, she wouldn't do this if it wasn't a serious matter, Gu Shaoze suppressed the fire in his heart, and still kept up with her pace in the end.
The two of them walked around the crowd, and because of the hurried footsteps, many people looked sideways on the way.
An Zimo and Xin Yuan were already preparing to start the engagement ceremony, he stood on the high platform, and when he saw Gu Shaoze's unusual appearance, he immediately pushed away the obstacles left and right, caught up with him and asked with concern:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Xincheng's eyes fell on the center of everyone's attention, and Xin Yuan followed An Zimo and was also walking towards them.
There was worry between her eyebrows.
Ji Xincheng looked at this scene with a deep sense of powerlessness.
She wanted to say it to An Zimo, but she couldn't seem to say it to him.
"Xincheng?"
It was Gu Shaoze who reminded her, and he also had a serious look between his eyebrows, as if reminding Ji Xincheng: You are not Shu Yan's immediate family after all, the child in Shu Yan's belly is An Zimo's, if something really happens to Shu Yan, we hide it from him, and the consequences are not something we can bear......
Ji Xincheng bit his lip, glanced at Gu Shaoze, and then at An Zimo.
finally told the truth without reservation:
"Shu Yan may have been born prematurely, she has been in the operating room, and now she is bleeding profusely, and the hospital asked her family to go over and sign immediately!"
After she finished saying this in one breath, she grabbed the five fingers of Gu Shaoze's forearm, and the knuckles were so hard that they turned white.
She was not only in pain, but also guilty of Xin Yuan, who had heard this clearly before she approached.
From Xin Yuan's point of view, Ji Xincheng's approach is also unforgivable, right? After all, An Zimo came here voluntarily to hold this engagement ceremony with her, and behind Xin Yuan, there were elders from the two families and important guests in almost half of the celebrity circle......
But then again, everything still depends on An Zimo.
If An Zimo was hard-hearted enough, he could completely treat it as if he hadn't heard it right now, and Ji Xincheng couldn't blame him.
It seemed that seeing her psychological struggle, Gu Shaoze had hidden unhappiness in his deep eyes at first, but at this time he was already relieved, caressing Ji Xincheng's back and letting her relax.
"Did you hear that? I don't have to repeat it, I'm going to get out of here now, do you agree? β
An Zimo had a resolute look on his face, and under the gaze of Gu Shaoze and Ji Xincheng, he faced Xin Yuan and said.
His tone was calm, because he was no longer entangled, as if he had muscles and bones all of a sudden.
Xin Yuanyuan is not an ordinary woman, a girl who can enter the standard of a daughter-in-law of the An family, she is either rich or expensive, or extremely good.
Sure enough, she didn't react violently, and it could even be said that she was quite calm, just nodded and reminded An Zimo:
"You should probably say hi to your dad."
She didn't even mention her own family and guests first.
Ji Xincheng's gaze on the girl couldn't help but deepen a little.
"No need, I'll explain it to him later!"
An Zimo said, glanced at Xin Yuan one last time, and then followed Ji Xincheng and Gu Shaoze to the outside of the hotel.
The three of them left the banquet hall, and in the corridor, Father An saw that An Zimo's expression was wrong, and immediately stopped him.
"The ceremony is about to begin, where are you going?"
"I'm not engaged to this marriage!"
Next to An Zimo's father, there were still three or five guests talking, and when they heard this, they all paid attention to it.
"What did you say?"
An Hui frowned, stepped forward and asked his son.
"I said, I'm not engaged to this marriage! Shu Yan is in the hospital, she may die, I have to go over right now! β
An Hui let out a long breath, endured it and didn't have a seizure, but just lowered his voice:
"An Zimo, if you dare to step out of this hotel now, you will never go back to Anjia! Can you do it? β
"Isn't it just a severance of relations! Cut off all my financial resources? You'll do the same! β
An Zimo sneered, he loosened his tie, and consciously took off his watch, coat and other valuables, and in the curious eyes of more and more people around him, he even took off his shoes and threw them at An Hui's feet.
"So, is it okay?"
ββ¦β¦β
An Hui pursed his lips, and the look in his eyes was shocking.
An Zimo was iron-hearted, and obviously no longer considered his father's high blood pressure:
"You don't have to worry, it's yours, I won't touch a penny!"
His eyes seemed to burst into flames.
Ji Xincheng found out that even though An Zimo's jacket was a high-end suit, what he wore inside was a white shirt that had been washed many times and was a little old, and Ji Xincheng only learned later that it was bought by Shu Yan for An Zimo.
That is, before he made this decision, he was also ready to wear the shirt given to him by Shu Yan for the engagement ceremony......
How they left the hotel in the end, Ji Xincheng was no longer impressed.
She only remembered that An Zimo's father seemed to be angry, Gu Shaoze wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Ji Xincheng, An Zimo couldn't drive at this time, and Gu Shaoze had to go to the hospital with them.
The trio ran several red lights at intersections before arriving at the hospital.
The words of Yasuko's ink signature.
Watching the doctor in a surgical gown take away the surgical consent form and turn to leave, the three of them took their seats in the cold stainless steel chairs in the surgery waiting room.
An Zimo was barefoot, disheveled, and panicked because of nervousness, the whole person looked like he had been fished out of the water, prostrations and sweat.
Ji Xincheng handed him a tissue, and Gu Shaoze patted him on the shoulder.
An Zimo was nothing, but when he slapped him like this, he buried his head and shook his shoulders.
Ji Xincheng raised his eyes in surprise and asked Gu Shaoze, obviously An Zimo was crying.
Gu Shaoze put the tissue in Ji Xincheng's hand on the chair next to An Zimo, pulled up Ji Xincheng and said:
"There's spare slippers in the car, you come with me to get them."
"Don't we need to comfort him?"
The two entered the elevator room, and Ji Xincheng asked.
"No, let him stay on his own."
Gu Shaoze held Ji Xincheng's hand and didn't want to let go for a moment, obviously he was also a little worried about the current situation.
If Shu Yan can't get out of the operating room, I really don't know what An Zimo will become......
Fortunately, thirty minutes later, the doctor in the emergency room came out to greet them, "The patient is out of danger, the family can rest assured!" β
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and An Zimo collapsed directly on the back of the chair.
An hour later, Si Qian arrived with his assistant, and sure enough, it was his hospital, and as soon as he came, a doctor reported to him the details of the operation inside, "...... It's a boy, it's going to come out, and there will be no problem with normalcy! β
Hearing the news, An Zimo covered his face again and buried his head.
This time, I probably cried with joy......
