Chapter 525: Engagement Banquet
“An engagement banquet?”
Su Ni bit her pronunciation and chuckled, “So congratulations.”
Cheng Yi couldn’t figure out the couple’s thoughts. He could only laugh dryly and lead them into the banquet hall.
Many greeted Gu Zechen politely. Gu Zechen didn’t refuse and walked around with a glass of wine. Occasionally, his eyes fell on Cheng Yi and found that he was also observing.
Gu Zechen smiled and smiled.
“A lot of people came today, but I think most of them are here to watch the fun.”
Su Ni turned around and came to a conclusion.
There was no need for Su Ni to say this. Although the entire venue was lively, there was a have a tacit understanding between them, especially when Gu Zechen first came.
On the surface, it was Cheng Yi’s engagement or a high-profile bail, but who knew that this was a war between Gu Zechen and Cheng Yi.
Now, everyone was staring at Cheng Yi and Gu Zechen’s every move. No one knew if they were looking forward to it or afraid of what would happen next.
Because Su Banqing did not appear, Su Ni sighed in relief.
However, the atmosphere was a little strange. After all, there was no female lead at the engagement party, so it was ridiculous.
The only person involved, however, was in high spirits and was not affected by the atmosphere at all. His white swallow-tailed coat shuttled through the crowd like a fish in water.
Soon, Cheng Yi arrived in front of Gu Zechen. He raised his cup slightly, and a light flashed in his narrow eyes. He smiled and said, “Mr. Gu, I respect you.”
Gu Zechen didn’t say a word and quickly drank it.
Soon, someone helped Gu Zechen change another glass of wine.
Cheng Yi still had no intention of leaving. He smiled as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say it directly. A few seconds later, he said, “Speaking of which, we have to thank you for this engagement party.”
“If it weren’t for a walk, I wouldn’t have known that life was so expensive, and the most important thing in my life was that I’m half clear.”
Cheng Yi deliberately mentioned Su Banqing. As expected, Su Ni frowned. Although he didn’t say anything, his words obviously worked.
“It’s not bad for Mr. Cheng to have such an insight in his life.”
Gu Zechen said lightly.
“Haha.”
Cheng Yi smiled. “It’s a pity that the mood is not stable yet, and she’s not feeling well. Otherwise, if she comes today, she can personally call President Gu’s brother-in-law. In the future, we’re all family.”
According to their current relationship, Cheng Yi’s words were not unreasonable.
However, Gu Zechen and Su Ni changed their faces at the same time. Even the surrounding people’s eyes started to drift elsewhere. Cheng Yi had openly started to climb up relatives and was always facing each other.
“I think my relationship with Mr. Cheng isn’t that good, and I believe that with your relationship with my wife, it will never be possible.”
Gu Zechen held Su Ni’s anger and took her place to finish.
Cheng Yi still smiled dryly. The eyes of the crowd made him angry, but he had to smile and greet him. “What do you say? Although Mrs. Gu and I used to be a couple, now that I have decided to marry her sister, naturally I won’t have any thoughts.”
Gu Zechen gripped his glass tightly.
Cheng Yi deliberately re-mentioned the old thing. Although he didn’t talk about the video, he also brought up the rumors of the two that day. Seeing that Gu Zechen was going to be angry, he hurriedly said, “Of course, this is all a misunderstanding. I believe that Gu compiled will not mind.”
“But what if I say that I mind?”
Gu Zechen gritted his teeth and said coldly.
“I’m afraid.. It can only be solved by the two of you. After all, it’s hard for me to get involved as an outsider.”
Cheng Yi responded with an annoyed tone.
“Is that so?”
This time, Su Ni took the lead and even took a step forward. Her eyes were aggressive and she stared coldly at Cheng Yi.
He probably didn’t know that she had already watched the video.
“Then, Mr. Cheng, do you want everyone to listen to my version? Tell me about Mr. Cheng’s history and today’s engagement banquet?”
Sure enough, Cheng Yi’s face changed.
He quickly smiled and smoothed the field. “Mrs. Gu is joking. Everyone knows my history of being born, and there is no need to delay everyone’s interest here.”
Su Ni didn’t say anything but stared at him coldly and warned silently.
Cheng Yi was still quite sensible, so he nodded to the two of them before continuing to the next family.
Gu Zechen held Su Ni’s hand and said lightly, “You were too impulsive just now.”
With him around, there was no need for Su Ni to do this.
Su Ni was a little angry. She drank all the wine in her glass and felt a little better. She said, “I just don’t like his arrogance. Why are you here?”
“Don’t be too far from me later.” Gu Zechen reminded.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He always felt that something was wrong with today’s banquet. Although Cheng Yi was high-profile, he wouldn’t make a scene at the most embarrassing time unless he needed so many people present.
Gu Zechen looked around, and finally his gaze fell on a projection in the corner. There were some irrelevant picturesque scenery on the screen.
Gu Zechen frowned but didn’t explain. He just said to Su Ni, “I’ll go there first. Be careful.”
Su Ni nodded.
However, Su Ni was not idle. She didn’t see Su Banqing, so she still couldn’t rest assured. Today, she needed the answer from Kalan for this engagement party.
Su Banqing didn’t send the video, which made her feel lucky, but now…
The call was quickly picked up. Su Banqing was indeed in the hospital. In a quiet background, even Su Banqing’s voice sounded unusually calm.
She said she was fine.
Su Ni didn’t want to ask this but talked about the engagement party.
Su Banqing was silent for a long time. Just as Su Ni impatiently asked her if she knew about it, Ryan suddenly sighed and said, “Hey 4, you don’t have to say it. This is all true.”
“Are you really going to get engaged to such a man?”
Su Ni gasped.
“Yes, Sis, I’ve already thought about it. I hope.. I hope you can bless me.”
Su Banqing said.
Su Ni resisted the impulse to throw her phone. Perhaps if Su Banqing hadn’t let her go, there was no suspense at all. “Kacha, I hope you know what you’re doing.”
“I know I’m wrong.”
Su Banqing’s tone was soft and she started to choke.
She was no longer as aggressive as before. She started to cry, “I know I’ve wronged Papa, but I can’t let the child be born without a father.”
“Are you planning to ruin your future for the sake of the child?”
Su Ni was angry.
“Yes, Sis.”
The atmosphere was silent.
After a long time, Su Banqing said, “Take it as my Su Banqing sorry for what happened today.” Sorry, I hope you can forgive me.
