Text Chapter 58: Prelude to the Engagement
Yan Qingruo's pretense was relaxed, but it did not relieve Chu Mu's nervous nerves, she had to choose to be silent, she leaned against the window with her mobile phone in one hand, and looked up at the sky silently.
"You can't miss the engagement ceremony in five days!"
After being silent for a while, Chu Mu finally said the purpose of his call this time.
Yan Qingruo sighed, a tear silently crossed her cheek, she touched her face in surprise, she was surprised to find that she was even more sentimental than she imagined.
"Don't worry, as the second lady of the Yan family, even if Yan Zhi hates me to death, she won't stop me from attending her engagement banquet."
The corners of her mouth hooked up a faint mockery, her eyes glowed with cold light, and she paused before speaking, "What's more, this is a great opportunity for her to show off like me, how could she say goodbye and let it go, even if I want to hide, I can't hide." β
"It's up to you to say it, it's up to you whether you can get the Frozen Scepter or not, I hope to receive your amusement."
When the words fell, he didn't have a trace of ridicule, and the ruthlessness in his voice made Yan Qingruo think it was an auditory hallucination, and it took a while to react, and the phone had been hung up.
She put her phone casually at the head of the bed, turned around and walked to the bathroom, and after taking a shower, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Yan Qingruo thought that these five days would be a long time, and she watched Yan Zhixin try the unique Swiss custom fishtail skirt every day at home.
On this day, she was chatting with Li Shaolin in the living room, Yan Zhixin dragged a long wedding dress down the curved escalator, and when she was halfway there, she greeted Yan Qingruo, and the smug smile was piled up on her cheeks.
"Ruoruo, do you think I'm good-looking?"
Yan Zhixin's smile is from the heart, the smugness on her face is also from the heart, and even the disdain that flashes in her eyes is also from the heart.
She looked up at the golden Yan Zhixin, and walked towards her step by step with a harmless smile, until they were very close, Yan Zhixin slowly opened her red lips.
"My good sister, don't worry, no matter what the purpose of your return is, I will not let you achieve it."
Yan Zhixin smiled like a swaying rose, but the words she said were like a poisonous snake protruding from a hyacinth, which made people shudder.
Yan Qingruo was slightly stunned for a moment, but in an instant, the charming smile on her face was even more than Yan Zhixin's, "Really?" It seems that my sister is still very confident. β
"Otherwise, do you think your salted fish can still turn over?"
Yan Zhixin slowly stood up, holding the wedding dress in her delicate hands, proudly like a princess in a fairy tale, oh no, those who know her know that she is a vicious queen.
Yan Qingruo's gaze naturally fell on the ring finger of her right hand, and she stared at the ring on Yan Zhixin's hand that was enough to be fake, and smiled harmlessly.
"Oh, I said sister, why are you so confident when you speak, it turns out that the heirloom ring has been found, sister, you are really powerful, so you can find it back."
At this time, Li Shaolin, who had been watching the show on the sidelines, couldn't help but wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yan Qingruo, she glanced at Li Shaolin and told him not to speak.
Li Shaolin obediently shut up, but his palms honestly climbed up Yan Qingruo's thin shoulders and hugged her tightly like a normal couple.
Yan Qingruo reflexively wanted to break free, but was imprisoned by Li Shaolin's powerful palm, and she found that she couldn't move at all in Li Shaolin's arms at this time.
Yan Zhixin didn't notice the abnormal interaction between the two in front of her for a while because her heart was all on the ring, she closed her fingers and wanted to hide the ring finger of her right hand.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Qingruo, who was leaning on Li Shaolin's arms, followed Yan Zhixin closely, her every move was unwilling to miss, and she looked at her with a smile on her face.
Yan Zhixin was very uncomfortable with Yan Qingruo's eyes, and thought that she would shrink her head and tail in front of a slut, so it was better to show the ring directly and generously in front of her.
"Well, my sister's ring is still so beautiful, congratulations to my sister for getting it back."
Yan Qingruo's gaze swept over the ring that Yan Zhixin showed off in front of her eyes, and saw that the workmanship and material of the ring were extremely perfect.
The corners of Yan Zhixin's mouth pulled out a smug smile, she thought that the surprise in Yan Qingruo's eyes was hidden by her high-imitation ring, and she couldn't help but think that even Yan Qingruo could hide it, and she must be able to hide it from Chu Mu.
She patted Yan Qingruo's shoulder in a good mood, and the smugness on her face was even stronger, and she didn't even hide it at all, "Remember to come to the banquet tomorrow." β
After speaking, she was like a gust of wind, and her extremely light body dragged her bulky wedding dress upstairs, without hindering her steps in the slightest.
Li Shaolin looked at Yan Zhixin's distant back, and couldn't wait to look at Yan Qingruo, his eyes flashing with impatience, "Nuonuo, why didn't you demolish her just now?" β
Yan Qingruo gave him a critical blow with her backhand, and by the way, she skillfully broke away from his clutches, with a look of contempt on her face, she already had an idea about this matter.
"Are you stupid, if you debunk it now, what will you do tomorrow?"
After Yan Qingruo's guidance, Li Shaolin suddenly realized, and then shook his head with a very lewd smile, "Oh, I can't see that your little trick has been so slippery, and you are willing to bow down." β
After speaking, he made a bending over and clenching his fists, his face full of admiration for her.
"Okay, then again, you can't be absent on such an important day tomorrow, otherwise I'll go with Nuo Nuo to make a small report!"
Yan Qingruo pretended to make a small report, and even her delicate hands were already attached to his neck, as long as he said no, she would not hesitate to break his neck.
"Don't worry, who am I Lishaolin? How is it possible to be absent without an excuse? Besides, I'm your fiancΓ©, and if I don't love you, who will love you? Li Shaolin patted his chest and confidently assured.
Next.
Li Shaolin was absent as usual.
Early in the morning, Yan Qingruo came to the door of his room and knocked on the door, but there was no movement, she sighed and shook her head helplessly while standing at the door.
She had a premonition last night that Li Shaolin would release her pigeons again today, and sure enough, he lived up to expectations and released her pigeons, this time more thoroughly.
She patted her head and thought that next time she was looking for a fake fiancΓ©, she had to find a reliable one.
"Ruoruo, you will follow your mother today, don't run around."
Zhang Rou stood aside and told her, as if she was afraid that she would make a big move this time, and it would not only be their Yan family that would be embarrassed, but also the Chu family.
"Oh, sister, don't need help over there?"
She asked tentatively, the whole person looked very easy-going, and after changing into a dress in a proper manner, there was no action to make trouble.
Zhang Rou hurriedly smiled and waved her hand, "Your sister naturally has someone to help, you don't need you, you go outside to greet the guests, don't snub them." β
This time, Yan Qingruo didn't say anything, but stood at the door obediently, looking at the guests with a smile, smiling like a welcome lady.
Zhang Rou sat on the sofa next to her, very satisfied with Yan Qingruo's approach, as long as she didn't make a moth, then nothing else would happen.
Almost everyone who passes by will look at her, and if it is a man, his eyes will remain on her face for a long time and he will not leave, "Look at what?" It's just a slut in Jiangcheng, go quickly! β
The woman tugged at her husband and couldn't wait to escape, but Yan Qingruo's face still didn't change at all, like a robot without emotion.
If a woman passes by, they will look at her with contempt, and it only takes a few seconds for them to confirm that she is really a bewitching slut, and they begin to talk about her black history in twos and threes.
Just when everyone was chatting together, suddenly an exclamation came from not far away, "God, this is Mrs. Chu, she is still so beautiful when she is old!" β
Qin Junlian changed his previous full black slaughter, and wore a bright red dress for the first time, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
The precious skirt wrapped her body that was already in her twilight years, but after all, the master's handwriting was still a master's handwriting, such a skirt made Qin Junlian, who was originally slightly fat, not only look not fat, but also look young and plump.
Yan Qingruo's smile froze on her face, and she stared at the dazzling red in the distance, just like her ugly heart, cruel and bloodthirsty.
Fortunately, Qin Junlian was surrounded by famous flowers and plants from all walks of life as soon as she got out of the car, she was like a big star, and the stars entered the venue in a row, and there was no need for Yan Qingruo to greet her with a smile.
Yan Qingruo, who originally thought that she would be able to escape this catastrophe, did not expect Zhang Rou, who had been sitting in the back and eating melon seeds, to see Qin Junlian coming, and immediately jumped up and peeled off the crowd and pulled Qin Junlian's hand hard.
"Madam Qin! You're so beautiful today! β
Qin Junlian also took Zhang Rou's hand and looked at her with a smile on her face, without any sense of disobedience, "Mother-in-law, you are also outstanding today!" β
Zhang Rou, who had no culture, heard Qin Junlian praise her like this, although she didn't understand the specific meaning of the words "excellent demeanor", but she knew that it must be a good word.
"Where is there, our hearts can marry into the Chu family, and we are also high and Chu Shao."
Qin Junlian's expression did not change at all, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and after looking around, his red lips slowly opened.
"There are countless Yan family daughters in Jiangcheng, but there is only one Chu Mu, I hope that the daughter of the in-laws can show her ability and take a good look at this rare son-in-law!"
After speaking, her eyes sharply stayed on Yan Qingruo, who bowed her head and was silent, and Yan Qingruo could feel the sword light and sword shadow flying out of her eyes without raising her head.
Although Zhang Rou is not a high level of education, she is a smart person, she immediately understood what Qin Junlian meant, took her hand, and gently patted the back of Qin Junlian's hand.
"My mother-in-law is right, I must teach my family heart well, don't let my man be hooked by those foxes outside."
Qin Junlian nodded with satisfaction, she stretched out her hand to straighten the scarf around her neck, and walked in with the support of everyone.
