The woman who bumped into Ling Yan also had a good background. Her family was once on par with the Gu family. Now, she married a rich old man. She had a crush on Gu Xichen before, but when her grandfather went to the Gu family
When he mentioned the blind date, Gu Xichen refused.
Wu Rao raised her brows. She really didn't like Ling Yan.
Why did Gu Xichen, who rejected her, get engaged to her in the blink of an eye?
Gu Xichen's rejection made her wonder if she was too late, and she felt unconfident for a while. Later, because her family needed a marriage, they married her to an old man in his fifties, who actually doted on her.
, this gave her the ability to cause trouble outside.
At this moment, there was no trace of apology on Wu Rao's face. On the contrary, she was a little proud.
Ling Yan was not blind, so she was startled when she saw the pride in her eyes.
This woman is just trying to make trouble with her stories.
Although Ling Yan did not cause trouble, she was not afraid of trouble now, so she directly picked up a cupcake next to her. Then, with a slip of her hand, the white cream instantly hit Wu Rao's black dress.
"Ah..." Wu Rao roared angrily in an instant. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She cursed: "You are sick, how can you throw a cake on me?"
Ling Yan didn't expect her to be so angry. When she bumped into her just now, there were oil stains on her skirt. Didn't she pretend she didn't see it?
"Who said I broke it? My hand slipped accidentally." Ling Yan explained with a serious expression.
"You obviously did it on purpose..." Wu Rao pointed at her and screamed.
At this moment, her cry immediately attracted people around her to come and take a look.
"You guys are judging me. She smashed the cake on my dress on purpose. It's really funny. I didn't offend her at all. She just didn't like me." Wu Rao complained first, and she also
She is not afraid of embarrassment, because she is right.
"I didn't, I just slipped accidentally." Ling Yan immediately retorted.
At this moment, Mrs. Gu came over. She squinted her majestic eyes and saw Wu Rao: "Miss Wu, this is a banquet place. Is your voice too high-pitched?"
When Wu Rao saw the old lady, his voice suddenly dropped: "Mrs. Gu, you came just in time. She just smashed the cake on my clothes. I just want to hear her say sorry to me."
Ling Yan didn't expect that this woman's acting skills were so good. Even if she was white, she could be called black.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Ling Yan, who shook her head.
Women's battlefield sometimes comes out of nowhere.
The old lady's mind turned around and she immediately guessed something.
Just half a year ago, the old man of the Wu family came to discuss a blind date with her. Gu Xichen happened to come back at that time and rejected him flatly.
Girls are all thin-skinned, and Wu Rao must have been very angry at that time. At this moment, the news that Ling Yan was going to marry Gu Xichen had spread everywhere. Wu Rao was probably taking revenge on purpose.
"Ling Yan, what is going on?" the old lady immediately asked seriously.
Wu Rao felt proud. It was rumored that the relationship between the old lady and Ling Yan was not very good. At this moment, she was afraid that Ling Yan would be in trouble.
Ling Yan said in a low voice: "I was getting you food just now, and she hit me hard. The plate in my hand was broken and my clothes were stained."
Ling Yan said, lifting up the hem of her skirt, and sure enough, a small piece of it was splashed on it.
The old lady immediately stared at Wu Rao coldly: "You hit someone first, so you should be the one to say sorry."
Wu Rao immediately denied: "Impossible, how could I hit her? She is lying."
Ling Yan immediately raised her head and glanced at the surveillance probe in the corner of the ceiling: "There is surveillance above. What is going on? We can ask the person in charge here to come out and take a look, so as not to say that I have wronged you."
Only then did Wu Rao look up, his face suddenly turned ugly.
"Forget it, I don't want to be acquainted with you." Wu Rao was really afraid of calling out the surveillance camera, and when the time came, she would ignore it.
Old Mrs. Gu looked at the leftover food on the ground, which she liked to eat. She glanced at Ling Yan complicatedly: "When encountering trouble in the future, don't just tolerate it."
Ling Yan looked at her blankly.
The old lady sighed lowly: "Xi Chen said that you have a soft temper. It seems that what he said is absolutely true."
Ling Yan's eyes heated up. The old lady's lesson sounded very warm to her ears.
"I just don't like to cause trouble." Ling Yan explained in a low voice.
"It's one thing not to cause trouble, but don't be afraid when trouble comes. If the mistress of the Gu family is bullied like a dog outside, I will be angry." The old lady reminded her seriously.
Ling Yan was stunned and suddenly realized that she was not representing herself, but the face of the Li family.
This small incident was immediately forgotten by others, but Ling Yan had a long memory. I am afraid that such unfounded things will happen more often in the future, and she must be vigilant.
Wu Rao sat on a chair not far away, staring at Ling Yan with hatred in his eyes.
Ling Yan felt her unfriendly gaze, but she just looked away lightly.
In the middle of the banquet, Ling Yan wanted to go out to take a breath, because she had drunk some wine and her head was a little swollen at the moment, so she told the old lady and went out through a door at the back.
This is a garden-like corridor with beautiful scenery.
Ling Yan wanted to find a seat to sit for a while. Suddenly, a familiar figure flashed across the corridor opposite.
Ling Yan's dizzy mind suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes wide and saw her sister-in-law Li Xue. At this moment, she was holding a man's arm. The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked through the opposite corridor and entered.
Got an elevator.
"Li Xue..." Ling Yan was about to go crazy, and she quickly ran towards the opposite corridor.
However, when she ran over, the elevator was already closed, and she had to wait for the floor where the elevator stopped.
Fortunately, the elevator only stopped at one floor. Ling Yan quickly opened the elevator next to it and walked in.
The elevator reached the twenty-eighth floor, which was the hotel guest room. As soon as Ling Yan walked out, she found that there was no one in the corridor.
Is it really Li Xue?
Ling Yan pressed her head. Was she dazzled? Did she drink too much?
Just when Ling Yan thought she had really seen it wrong, suddenly, a door next to her opened.
Ling Yan instinctively hid in a corner.
"I'm working. If anything happens, I'll talk about it when I get back in the evening."
"I'm discussing business outside. Stop making trouble. As long as I win this month's performance title, I will receive a bonus of more than 200,000 yuan."
"Okay, Lingfei, I really have to be busy with work. I'm hanging up. I love you."
Ling Yan heard Li Xue talking on the phone to her elder brother, and her pretty face was as white as paper.
I really don’t know if Li Xue is talking about work outside or is entangled with another man.
Just when Li Xue hung up the phone and was about to go back to the room, suddenly, a person walked out of the corridor next to her.
"Ah..." Li Xue screamed in fear, which was even scarier than seeing a ghost.
Ling Yan stared at her angrily and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you in the hotel?"
Li Xue immediately patted his chest and said reproachfully: "Ling Yan, you scared me to death, why are you here?"
"I'm asking you." Ling Yan's tone was stiff.
Li Xue immediately said: "Of course I am here to run business. I have an appointment with a big client."
"How did you discuss business?" Ling Yan was even more convinced of what she saw.
"Hey, Ling Yan, are you questioning me? You don't care how I negotiate? As long as you get the results, that's it, right? Don't think that just because you are the boss's wife, you can control so much." Li Xue pointed out instantly.
Her tone was even more arrogant than Ling Yan's.
Ling Yan glanced at the door next to her, and Li Xue's face turned pale.
She immediately took her mobile phone and walked towards the elevator: "The client I made an appointment with will be arriving soon. We agreed to meet at the coffee shop."
After saying that, Li Xue entered the elevator and left.
Ling Yan's mood suddenly hit rock bottom, and she leaned against the wall helplessly.
To be honest, she really didn't want to see Li Xue betray her eldest brother. Although she didn't like her, his eldest brother seemed to love her very much and regarded her as his only one. If she let him know about this, she didn't know what the trouble would be.
Ling Yan's eyes turned red because she was disappointed. Her parents would be released from prison in half a year and the family would be reunited. She really didn't want anything to happen to her eldest brother while she was waiting.
However, if Li Xue really had a private meeting with a man here, could she pretend she didn't see it?
Ling Yan was in pain and couldn't make a decision, so she could only go back to the banquet hall first.
But she couldn't sit still, so she asked the staff next to her and learned that there were two cafes on the third floor.
Ling Yan immediately went down to the third floor. Sure enough, she saw Li Xue sitting in one of the seats. She seemed to be waiting for someone and kept checking her phone.
Ling Yan turned around and left, but she knew that there must be something wrong with Li Xue.
Ling Yan returned to the banquet hall and suddenly thought of something. There was surveillance in this hotel. If she could find a way to get the surveillance video, she would know whether Li Xue had betrayed her eldest brother.
However, not everyone can see the hotel's surveillance. The only way to do this is to ask Gu Xichen to help.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Yan went home. Although the old lady was not positive about her performance, she did not find fault with her. She only said that she would take her with her next time there was a banquet.
As soon as Ling Yan returned home, Gu Xichen was so frightened that he quickly stood up from the sofa.
"Daddy, don't move. If you move again, your hair will be messed up." Ling Fei immediately grabbed one of his fingers and pulled it down hard.
Gu Xichen knew that this time there was no escape. Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yan stepped in, she saw her daughter "dressing up" Gu Xichen.
Gu Xichen's handsome face was a little embarrassed and he explained: "Those two brats won't play with Xiaofei, so I can only play makeup games with her."
Ling Yan pursed her lips and smiled: "The painting is quite beautiful."
"Xiao Fei, Daddy is bringing you some candies, please stop for a moment." Gu Xichen stood up immediately, quickly cleaned himself up in the bath, then took two candies and coaxed his daughter.
Ling Yan had something hidden in her heart. When she saw him, she quickly came over, held his hand, and ran to the balcony to talk.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Gu Xichen looked at her nervous expression and instantly became a little nervous.
Ling Yan's beautiful eyes looked at him pleadingly: "Husband, can you help me with something?"
Gu Xichen nodded: "Of course I will handle your matters for you."
"Then can you... get the surveillance video of Jindao Hotel?" Ling Yan asked hesitantly.
Gu Xichen narrowed his eyes and asked curiously: "Why do you want the video there?"
Ling Yan knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she could only lament: "I seem to have caught my sister-in-law having a secret meeting with another man. I'm not sure it's what I thought, so I want to check the surveillance. I also hope it's true."
I'm wronging her, but what I'm more worried about is that she really cheated on her, so what will my elder brother do?"
Gu Xichen looked at her sad look and taunted her thin lips: "Your sister-in-law doesn't seem to be a peaceful person. In fact, if there is no strong man who can suppress her, she will betray your eldest brother based on her nature.
It seems like it’s too late.”
Ling Yan looked at him in shock: "So, she really betrayed my brother?"
"Whether there is betrayal or not, we can't be sure just by conjecture. If there is evidence, it is the best proof. But... have you thought clearly?" Gu Xichen caressed her cheek distressedly. She looked very worried.
Angry and sad.
Ling Yan closed her eyes and nodded: "Yes, I have thought clearly. Even if my eldest brother really loves her, I have to let him know what kind of woman Li Xue is. If he is willing to accept her,
Just pretend I didn’t say anything, if he cares..."
"If it really happens, their marriage will be ruined." Gu Xichen also sighed. In a marriage, two people have to stick to it. If one party cheats, the other party will really be in pain.
"But he is my eldest brother. If he is my cousin, I can pretend not to see him." Ling Yan also had a hard time making a decision. She also hoped that her eldest brother would be happy.
"Li Xue really has no bottom line. If she doesn't want to be responsible in the marriage, she shouldn't have married my brother in the first place and given him hope." Ling Yan cursed bitterly.
"Li Xue seems to have a purpose. Why did she marry your brother in the first place? There must be benefits." Gu Xichen said lightly.
"Yes, in order to get a green card, she had no choice but to marry my brother." Ling Yan thought of this, and she felt inexplicably distressed.
Gu Xichen seemed to understand and nodded: "Okay, I'll help you get the surveillance camera."
"How do you want to get it?" Ling Yan asked anxiously.
"I have my own way. I have a relationship with the owner of Jindao Hotel. I can say hello to him and he will give me face." Gu Xichen patted her shoulder comfortingly: "I will say hello to him now.
A phone call."
Ling Yan looked at him gratefully: "Okay."
Half an hour after Gu Xichen finished the call, a video was sent to Gu Xichen's mobile phone. "Yes, it's the corridor on the eighth floor... Oh my god, it's so disgusting. They even kissed at the elevator door." Ling
Yan covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.
