unwelcome guests
Her bright and beautiful expression aroused the desire for conquest hidden in Ji Liangchen's heart.
His pupils contracted slightly invisibly. Ji Liangchen curled his lips and accepted her challenge. He walked slowly back to the other side of the venue and stood.
After tidying up his clothes, he hooked his fingers at her and said frivolously and lazily: "Please."
Responding to him was a low ball with a strange angle, which made the relaxed smile on the corner of his lips disappear in an instant, and he became serious as she wanted.
...
On the other hand, the Chu family’s brunch officially began.
The servants kept bringing the rich dishes to the table, and secretly glanced at Qin Yiren and were smiling.
Although the identity of an unmarried couple between wealthy families is nothing, it seems that they all believe that she will be the future young lady of the Chu family.
As a highly-watched guest, Qin Yiren sat nervously with Chu Xinian, watching the man picking up food in her plate one after another, stacking it into a hill in front of her.
She felt sweet in her heart, and was worried that Chu Xinian's excessive attention would make Mrs. Chu unhappy. She grabbed his cuffs and complained quietly, "Stop adding more, how could I finish eating so much?"
As a celebrity, he knows the rules better than ordinary girls, and waste is one of the very impolite behaviors.
Chu Xinian didn't care, so he continued to stretch out his chopsticks and added chicken wings to her, and said naturally: "I will eat it for you if I can't finish it, so eat it quickly."
"How can that work..."
Qin Yiren's cheeks were slightly red, and she uncomfortably peeked at the faces of the elders opposite the European-style long table.
The Chu father replied with an admiring smile and turned to scold his son: "You kid, are you embarrassed to not see Miss Qin? Let others eat it yourself quickly and make less trouble."
Mrs. Chu picked up her goblet and took a sip of the orange juice of the brandy, and asked gracefully: "In the past, didn't you say you had something to announce to us?"
"That's right, it's almost two months since Yiren and I got engaged. Should the wedding be on the agenda?" He picked up the napkin and wiped his hands. Chu Xinian took the free look and took the shrimp meat for Qin Yiren, saying without raising his head: "I just looked at the calendar. Next Sunday is a good day for marriage. Why don't we get the certificate first and then hold a re-opening banquet?"
The Chu couple looked at each other thoughtfully, and finally Mrs. Chu asked: "Is this what you mean, or Miss Qin?"
Qin Yiren bit her lip and lowered her head slightly, feeling panicked.
She didn't know if she was too sensitive or what, but after Chu Xinian proposed to get married, his parents' expressions were unhappy, not even surprised, and calmed down to the point of being almost cold.
But two months ago, when the two of them became business partners and held an engagement ceremony for her and Chu Xinian, their attitude was clearly not like this.
She has been worried about the shadow she saw in her dreams these days. In order to prevent her family from worrying, she had to temporarily move out of her home some time ago, lacking the necessary sources of information... Could it be that something happened to the cooperation between the two families?
Chu Xinian also realized something was wrong with his parents, so he quietly shook Qin Yiren's little hand under the dining table. Feng Danyun gently avoided the question: "We are almost married, who has the same meaning?"
"That's right, but in the past years..." The father of the Chu family looked embarrassed and put down his chopsticks and pondered for a moment. "In my opinion and your mother, it is a good thing that you two young people are in love, but it's not the past now. There is no need for you to get married so early, and it's not too late to wait for another two years."
Not two days, two months, but two years.
Now, Chu Xinian clearly felt Qin Yiren's fingers froze slightly in his palm.
He looked at Qin Yiren's grievance with his eyes down and his words were silent. He couldn't help but frown and asked inexplicably: "Why?"
"Didn't your dad tell you, because you are still young..."
"Mom, I know this is not the reason. You just have something to say."
Mrs. Chu's properly maintained face slightly sank, and she said earnestly: "In the past, were you trying to embarrass your parents in front of Miss Qin?"
"Is there something wrong with your cooperation with her family?"
Chu Xinian didn't care whether it was embarrassing or not, not to mention that he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He asked himself: "Even if there is a problem, it doesn't matter to me and Yiren. How precious is a girl's youth? How can she wait for me for two years? Or are you planning to regret the marriage?"
Before he finished speaking, the brilliance in Qin Yiren's eyes dimmed.
She reluctantly curled the corners of her lips, with a desolate and helplessness in her eyes, and she spoke almost begging: "Chu Xinian, stop talking."
"I insisted on saying it." He wrapped her cold little hand in his palm with force. Chu Xinian said without hesitation: "Don't think you and I are their chess pieces. You can let them do whatever they want, otherwise it wouldn't insult the relationship between you and me?"
The shameful little Jiujiu in his heart was exposed in person, and Mrs. Chu's face looked so beautiful.
She couldn't help but glance at Qin Yiren with complaint, firming her belief that she could not let this woman marry her son.
Now he is just his fiancee, and he seduced Chu Xinian so much that his family could not withstand Ji Manman any more.
"Son, Dad understands your mood, but the marriage between the two families is not as simple as you imagine."
At the critical moment, the father of the Chu family had to face Chu Xinian's anger and whispered a little embarrassedly: "It's not just our Chu family, but Yiren's family may have complaints about this matter. In short, we have to make a long-term plan, and it's not just what you two can do."
"Okay, then I'll go to Yiren's house to ask if it's really the same as what my father said."
Feeling sorry for Qin Yiren's silence without saying a word, Chu Xinian stood up after saying that, pulling the chair behind her away, "Yiren, let's go."
"Wait, are you going to her house now?"
Mrs. Chu was shocked and accidentally knocked over the goblet.
The orange liquid stained her cuffs, and she was so angry that she immediately directed the aunt at home to stop the two of them, "Stop it, you won't leave this house today. As for Miss Qin, please go back and let our family say something whisper, okay?"
In this case, what else can Qin Yiren say?
She nodded speechlessly. She was afraid that she would not be able to cry if she stayed there. She immediately broke free from Chu Xinian's hand and walked straight to the door.
"Yiren, don't leave, wait for me!" Chu Xinian was surrounded by several aunts in his forties and fifties. He wanted to struggle but was afraid that he would accidentally hurt one of them. He smiled bitterly with a headache: "Auntie, I'm going to find my fiancée. You can let me go."
"Young Master, it's useless to tell us, but it's up to the point that the lady says."
When I walked out of the door, I closed the door, and the noisy sounds in the villa left.
I went back alone along the way I came, stepping on her broken mood step by step.
Qin Yiren endured tears that had been slid down her cheeks for a long time. She clumsyly reached out to wipe them, but she wiped them more and more.
Before coming here, she never thought that her marriage with Chu Xinian would not receive blessings from both parents, and she wanted to please the Chu parents, but the reality is often so cruel.
Her heart was ashamed, and she stopped at the intersection like a devil, looking forward to Chu Xinian appearing out of breath in the next second, hugging her from behind, telling her his firmness and confidence in this relationship.
However, time passed by bit by bit from her fingertips, and the autumn wind made her feel cold all over, but she still didn't wait for Chu Xinian to appear.
The faint hope in his heart gradually disappeared, Qin Yiren bit her lips discouragedly and quietly accelerated her pace and left here.
When he walked out of the community, a mother and daughter held hands and walked opposite her. The little girl was about six or seven years old. She excitedly pointed her hand at her face and said to her mother, "Mommy, look at that big sister, she looks like the big sister on her phone! Well... she is almost alone!"
"Mengmeng, Mommy didn't tell you, so you are not allowed to point at others. It's impolite to do this."
After teaching his naughty daughter a lesson, the young woman hurriedly apologized to Qin Yiren: "The child is ignorant, don't be surprised."
"It's okay, the child is a little lively and cute."
He smiled disconcertedly, and Qin Yiren said goodbye to the mother and daughter very calmly.
This was originally just an inconspicuous little episode.
But when Qin Yiren took a few steps, he turned to look at the backs of the mother and daughter, and suddenly felt a little strange.
The little girl said she looked very much like the sister on the phone. At first she thought the little girl said she looked very much like a star.
However, the appearance is almost a person?
Suddenly realizing something, Qin Yiren stopped a taxi on the road in a restless mood, found the nearest mall and went in to charge his phone.
The moment the computer was turned on, dozens of missed calls popped up at the same time, half from Yan Xiaye, and the other half from his brother.
At the same time, there are also headlines on the mobile app, and the three words Ji Manman in the title made her feel nervous.
Before she could poke to see what was going on, my brother called again.
She took a deep breath and slowly picked up the phone.
"elder brother……"
"Yiren, you finally answered the phone! Where are you now, I will drive over to pick you up immediately!"
"I'm in the shopping mall near Yirongju." After obediently reporting the address, Qin Yiren realized that many passers-by were quietly observing her, forcing her to bury her head low, "Brother, is something wrong?"
"It's not that bastard Chu Xinian. I said I couldn't let you interact with him. Now I'm fine, I'll make him hurt your heart for nothing."
"Because... Ji Manman?"
“废话,那小子和我宝贝妹妹在一起,还敢和初恋勾三搭四,我非得找机会狠揍他一顿不可!”(未完待续)
