Chapter 116: The Engagement Dinner

That being said, she was still nervous.

It wasn't until Tang Lin and the others rushed to their house that she felt a little comforted.

"Chenchen, you are so beautiful in this dress!"

"Yes, sister, Brother Jingrui has a heart."

Compared with Yu Tong and Xia Lixin's amazement, Tang Lin was the most calm.

"What does he do to you?"

While they went downstairs to wait for the car to come, Tang Lin stepped forward to hold her arm, but there was a trace of worry on her face.

"It's good, I basically didn't do anything, and the meals cooked by Sister-in-law Liu are 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 he was ...... back then."

Tang Lin smiled bitterly.

As Xia Lichen's already sister-like relationship, the person she was most optimistic about back then has always been Chen Shaohua, but now fate is playing tricks, and the person who married Xia Lichen has become Gu Jingrui.

And it's still the man who has hurt her many times.

"I also told him this, it's all over, we are all ordinary people, so just live in the moment."

"Chenchen...... You deserved the best of everything! So I want to open it now, no matter who you talk to, as long as the other party treats you sincerely and not hypocritically, and doesn't let you be wronged, even if it's Gu Jingrui. ”

Chen Shaohua is already in the past, and she knows very well that this may not change again, so she is somewhat selfish and hopes 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 a distance.

Because Tang Lin and the others were with her tonight, she didn't let Sister-in-law Liu come with her.

She secretly clenched Tang Lin's hand, not knowing where Gu Jingrui was at this moment.

"Ma'am, please."

A butler-like man stood outside to greet him the moment he opened the car door.

Yu Tong also felt very novel, she and Tang Lin walked in while holding Xia Lichen's hand, while Xia Lixin followed behind.

"It's worthy of the Gu family, I didn't expect there to be fireworks tonight."

When they walked into the courtyard, the fireworks in the sky were so beautiful that even she was stunned.

"It seems that they also attach great importance to Chenchen."

Yu Tong finally came to her heart, after all, she knew too little about the Gu family and Gu Jingrui, and she was worried that the other party was not sincere to Xia Lichen.

Compared to the beautiful fireworks, she actually wanted to know where Gu Jingrui was now, because there were not only a few of them who came here today, there were people coming and going along the way, and from time to time someone threw very curious glances 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 are going to lose company, Sister Yu Tong and Tang Lin, you can just walk around inside."

Gu Jingrui snapped his fingers, and specially called a maid to accompany Xia Lixin and them to visit the hall together.

"Got it, but don't lose our Li Chen!"

Tang Lin laughed and made a joke, Xia Lixin couldn't help but chuckle twice, and Yu Tong just nodded with satisfaction.

"Shall we call your father later?"

She took Gu Jingrui's arm, and when she saw the tired look in the other party's eyes, she knew that he must have been busy greeting the guests before.

"Not yet, but when the guests arrive, we will naturally make an appearance in the crowd."

At this time, Xia Lichen looked so gentle, and she was rarely dressed up, and the aqua blue evening dress set off her like a mermaid.

It's just that he didn't say any of this, because he knew that she was thin-skinned and couldn't stand praise.

"To be honest, I'm a little sleepy right now."

Xia Lichen laughed a little embarrassedly.

I've been busy changing dresses since the afternoon, getting her hair and nails done, and if she could, she would really want to sleep wherever she was.

"It's just tonight, you hold on."

Gu Jingrui patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and then led her to the table in the center of the hall, and asked the waiter to bring her a cup of black tea.

And there happened to be a few of his usual friends standing there.

Happy guests are undoubtedly very difficult for Xia Lichen, but fortunately, she has rich work experience, so she can be regarded as foolish.

"I told you not to be too nervous, they all get along very well."

The acquaintance noticed the embarrassment that flashed on her face, and Gu Jingrui felt a little funny.

"No, I'm just not used to such occasions."

Why didn't the old man of the Gu family come here at this time?

And at this moment, Xia Lichen finally saw Gu Yanrui, who he hadn't seen for a long time, in the crowd.

He was also chatting happily with the guests with a wine glass at this time, probably noticing that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to Xia Lichen's place.

In fact, when she returned to the company before, she basically never saw Gu Yanrui again, and 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 her.

"Why do you keep staring at my big brother? Could it be that I think he is more attractive than me? ”

Gu Jingrui naturally also caught Xia Lichen's abnormality, and whispered a little unhappily.

"Not really! But seriously, why is your hostility towards your big brother still so strong? ”

I don't know if he was joking, but the other party was Gu Yanrui, so she couldn't figure it out.

"I can't reconcile with him in my life, and it's good to be able to do it like this."

Gu Jingrui said, and pulled Xia Lichen to take her elsewhere.

In such a calm atmosphere, how many thrilling waves are surging, Xia Lichen can't say.

But then the two of them didn't take a few steps before they met an old acquaintance of Xia Lichen head-on.

"You look doing well, congratulations."

At this time, Chen Jiawen's expression could not tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but Xia Lichen was speechless.

These two people, who had misunderstood her together back then, one became her nominal husband, and the other ......

"Thank you Chen Jiawen, I think one day you will definitely meet your own happiness."

She pretended to smile calmly and politely gave the other a hug.

It's just that I don't know if it's her delusion, Chen Jiawen was holding her with so hard arms......

Gu Jingrui coughed twice in embarrassment, and then took Xia Lichen's hand again.

"It's not easy for a few of us to be friends since high school."

Gu Jingrui always treats people with a smile on her face, but she can't see through it.

"Yes, but what I have to admire is that Brother Gu is really so smart since then."

Chen Jiawen seemed to sneer, and replied almost without thinking.

How do you feel that this atmosphere is a bit obedient? Xia Lichen secretly pinched Gu Jingrui's palm and signaled him not to say much.

"Naturally, there are many capable people, Chen Shaoyi is a talent, and I don't know how many hearts I have provoked behind my back."

He naturally heard that Chen Jiawen was alluding to the fact that he deliberately made him misunderstand Xia Lichen back then.

But there is one thing that the other party really ignores, that is, he Chen Jiawen really liked Su Yarou back then, and he pretended to be.

"We still have something over there, let's talk later."

I really couldn't stand such an atmosphere, so Xia Lichen pulled Gu Jingrui without looking back and quickly ran away.

"Please, are you mistaken? He's just our guest, so you don't have to worry too much about him. ”

She said to Gu Jingrui with a slight reproachful tone, but the other party still looked at her with a smile.

"What's the matter, we're already legally married anyway, aren't we? It's better to let him break his thoughts earlier. ”

Legal couple? This sentence seemed to have some kind of magic, and it hit Xia Lichen's heart at once.

It is also said that it is an indisputable fact that she has obtained the certificate with Gu Jingrui now, and she ignored it just now, since Chen Jiawen is here tonight, is he also ......

Sure enough, when the guests arrived, when the two of them stood at the top of the second floor and spoke to the crowd downstairs, she still saw that familiar figure in the crowd outside.

Fortunately, Gu Jingrui gave a speech throughout the whole process, so she also symbolically meant two sentences, and when everything was over, she even walked downstairs with some unsteady steps, not caring about Gu Jingrui behind her.

"Is it because I saw him that I was so upset?"

Gu Jingrui followed her to the lounge, there were only the two of them here at this time, and Xia Lichen in front of him sat on the sofa with a melancholy expression, and he instantly understood.

"Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself, if he comes, then you can face him, with me, it won't be good."

Gu Jingrui didn't mean to question her, but was completely worried.

"I'm sorry, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"

She quickly sorted out her demeanor and asked with uncertainty in her voice.

"You are my wife, how can you embarrass me? If you don't feel well, then rest here for a while, and I'll pick you up later. ”

Knowing that she was really tired tonight, Gu Jingrui didn't force it anymore, but went out first.

When she was the only one left, she got up and poured herself a cup of hot tea, but she still felt a little uncomfortable after drinking it, but she couldn't tell what it felt.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and she thought it was Gu Jingrui who was back, so she didn't look up.

At first, a pair of hands were gently placed on top of her head, gently caressing her hair, and then the man actually hugged her directly from behind.

"What are you doing here, Gu Jingrui!"

She didn't like this feeling, so she instinctively raised her arm and wanted to push the other party away, but who knows, the person not only did not let go, but hugged harder at the moment.

No, this is definitely not Gu Jingrui! Because if it were him, he wouldn't do this to himself.
