Chapter 1368: Who Is Dejected?
The lady’s husband was also surprised. “Li Lei’s daughter Xia Yingluo? The one who shared the scandal with Gu Jinxiu’s husband?”
“Wei Lingan isn’t Gu Jinxiu’s husband yet,” said the lady with an expression of interest. “She’s here, and the situation may change.”
“Do you think he’ll mess up the wedding? I think you watched too many TV shows.” Her husband smiled and shook his head and glanced at Xia Yingluo. “It’s unfortunate. Such a beautiful girl with such a good family background, but she can’t even compete with the declining business of the Gu family.”
The lady disapproved. “What’s there to pity? The scale of the Wei family’s Biopharmaceutical company isn’t large, and it’s simply not worthy of the pearl in the Li family’s palm. I think that Wei Lingnan deserves Gu Jinxiu more.”
Wei family’s real base was hidden deep underground, and his humble appearance had deceived many people. The lady’s husband nodded. “How many people in the world are worthy of the Li family’s lady? The Li family’s daughter took a fancy for him, but he didn’t want such a good opportunity and married Gu Jinxiu instead. Isn’t he picking up sesame seeds and throwing away a watermelon? That man beside the Li family’s daughter is indeed smarter and knows how to serve well.”
He was talking about Jiang Yu, who was holding Xia Yingluo’s hand and walking in the direction of admission.
The lady covered her mouth with a smile. “He’s the Movie King, after all.”
Jiang Yu’s reputation in the entertainment industry was as high as ever and numerous women were enchanted by him. He killed all 80-year-old grandmothers down to 8-year-old girls, so the lady recognized him at a glance. She reluctantly looked at Jiang Yu a few more times and regretted in her heart, why wasn’t such a handsome and good-looking man hers? It was a pity that she could only spend her remaining life accompanying her beer-bellied husband…
Thinking this way, she was dissatisfied with her husband and faintly hoped that Xia Yingluo would be unlucky.
Xia Yingluo was wearing a fairy dress, and under the sun, her beautiful face seemed to have a jade-like cold and beautiful l.u.s.ter.
She approached the door boy hand-in-hand with Jiang Yu and the door boy, in a clean uniform, said politely, “Two people, please show your invitation.”
“Invitation? I tore it.” Xia Yingluo’s lips twitched slightly with a smile. “Please announce that I’m here.” Her battle mode was already on. She was full of aura, and the words that clearly came out of her soft petal-like lips brought invisible coercion that people couldn’t help but submit to.
“Please, please wait a moment.” The doorman was a little fl.u.s.tered.
Xia Yingluo held Jiang Yu’s hand and stood still to wait. All kinds of eyes fell on her, speculating about her intentions and the invitation—did Gu Jinxiu really send her an invitation? Or did she come of her own accord out of contempt? People were very curious and many guests purposely didn’t enter. They hovered around them, wondering how things would go next.
What did not disappoint them was that Gu Jinxiu and Wei Lingnan both came to the entrance.
Gu Jinxiu in a wedding dress looked much more beautiful than usual. She was like a rose that had blossomed, with a sort of elegance and fragrance. She stood next to Wei Lingnan and looked at Xia Yingluo with the face of a winner. “Ms. Xia, you are finally here. Nan and I have been waiting for you for a long time and thought you would not come.”
Xia Yingluo also smirked. “Why wouldn’t I come?”
“Of course because…” Gu Jinxiu wanted to say something and consciously stopped herself. “Forget it, bygones are bygones. I’m glad that Ms. Xia can walk out of her sorrows.”
Her words held a subtle meaning, and the guests understood that she was mocking Xia Yingluo for having been abandoned by Wei Lingnan!
Xia Yingluo glanced at Wei Lingnan. Standing next to Gu Jinxiu, he was dressed in a white and spotless groom’s suit. His face was light and indifferent, with not the slightest hint of expression. Suddenly she wondered what he was thinking at this moment, was he also ridiculing her like Gu Jinxiu? He couldn’t wait for her to throw her face in front of people all over the world? Thinking this way, her heart hurt a little.
It was just a pity that he would be disappointed.
She straightened her back, and her voice became indifferent. “Sorrows? I don’t know what Ms. Gu is talking about. Do you, Jiang Yu?”
Jiang Yu smiled softly at her and said affectionately, “You were spoiled since young and no matter what you like, it’s only a three-minute heat. After a few days, you throw it to the back of your mind and don’t even think of it anymore.” Since she wanted to act, he would cooperate with her. Anyway, coming here today was a response to the battle, and in no way would he make her lose face.
The national male G.o.d Jiang Yu was extremely sweet when affectionate. He was clearly an actor. Without a diamond ring in the mansion, he could make people swoon even with sweet words. Many of the female guests present felt captivated by him, and they all changed from being here to watch the show to supporting them.
Wei Lingnan’s eyes were gloomy. The air around him seemed to have formed a layer of ice.
His gaze fell on Jiang Yu’s hand holding Xia Yingluo. Jiang Yu only felt that the cold hairs on his body were about to stand up. He had the illusion of being targeted by a fierce beast, which made him shudder. But he resisted the urge to retreat and still firmly supported Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo tilted her head slightly and smiled at Jiang Yu. “Yes, three minutes.”
Wei Lingnan’s eyes got darker.
Gu Jinxiu looked at the three of them and felt faintly irritable. He couldn’t help but laugh at Xia Yingluo. “Ms. Xia has such a good temper, why did you tear the invitation letter? Just now the doorman told me that you acknowledged tearing the invitation letter. That’s true, right?”
“Yes, what’s wrong?” Xia Yingluo did not deny it.
The surrounding guests were buzzing. It seemed that this girl was open-minded, but she actually cared about Gu Jinxiu and Wei Lingnan’s marriage. Wei Lingnan looked at Xia Yingluo with a pair of gloomy eyes and he said slowly, “You didn’t have to come if you didn’t want to.”
Xia Yingluo was furious. They were the ones who provoked her first, what were they pretending for now?!
What did he mean by she didn’t have to come if she didn’t want to?!
“If I don’t come, the news will end up saying that I was too sad and was afraid to attend your wedding.” She sneered. “Wei Lingnan, if you didn’t want me to come, then control your wife properly and don’t let her send the invitation randomly! Oh yes, but I didn’t tear the card because of you. You sent it to me in the middle of the night, what the h.e.l.l? You disturbed my rest with Jiang Yu, so I only tore it out of anger.”
She… and Jiang Yu… were resting?!
For a while, all eyes were focused on her and Jiang Yu. They stayed together last night? Oh my G.o.d, this was too powerful. Originally, many people thought they were just spreading gossip. Now it seemed that there was indeed substantial progress?!
Then they had really wronged Xia Yingluo. She indeed wasn’t secretly upset because of Wei Lingnan’s marriage. Jiang Yu was a male G.o.d no matter what and was comparable to Wei Lingnan, and was even more famous and gentler to Xia Yingluo…
Why would Ms. Xia hold onto the past!
