Chapter 19. Attending the Dinner Party
Chu Xing has been with me at Shi's house these days, taking good care of my daily life. During this period, I asked him, "When will you go back to S City?"
He asked me with a smile, "I want to drive me away so much?"
"I'm afraid my sister-in-law will be angry with you." I said.
"Your sister-in-law is young and often fights with me."
My sister-in-law is not as old as me. I heard him mention it before, and it is indeed a tricky and domineering type.
But it is also a matter of right and wrong.
Her domineering is never for no reason!
If she met a type like Wen Ruyan, she would not talk nonsense to her and directly sent someone to kill her in seconds, so that there were few opposite sexes around Chu Xing.
On the other hand, I never minded them.
It is precisely because of disdain that people have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
I smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is young, brother, you should give more things."
As if he remembered something, Chu Xing smiled dotingly and said, "I have never blamed her."
When Chu Xing mentioned his sister-in-law, he smiled sincerely.
"Then you must be together well."
"Well, I will lend you a good word."
I said, "Brother, please go back to S City early, my sister-in-law will definitely miss you."
"What about you? I have to stay here."
I smiled reluctantly, "Brother, I have something I want to do, you have to give me some private time."
I drove him away, but I didn't want to delay his time.
Besides, my sister-in-law is quarreling with him now, so she shouldn’t waste time with me.
Chu Xing hesitated and finally compromised, "Then you can accompany me to a banquet tonight."
"Why do you suddenly want me to accompany you to the banquet?"
Chu Xing smiled and suddenly said coldly: "Wen Ruyan thinks she is nobler than you. I will let her know who is inferior to you tonight. Sheng'er, you don't have to reject me. Being born with a human being, you must know how to be afraid. She is protected too well by Gu Tingchen, so she doesn't even have the minimum respect to you."
"I don't care..."
"I care."
...
I was in a bad spirit, but I still agreed to Chu Xing accompany him to the dinner. I knew he was venting his anger for me, but I really didn't want to have any connection with Gu Tingchen anymore.
After all, at the dinner later, Gu Tingchen will protect her regardless of whether Wen Ruyan is wrong or right. This is his responsibility as a man, not to mention that Wen Ruyan is the one he loves in his heart.
Why did I go to see his gentle care for another woman?
I put on some makeup carefully to cover up the scars on my face, changed into a luxurious evening dress, put on a pair of golden high heels, and looked at myself through the mirror, charming and colorful.
I never exaggerate myself. I can’t find a second person in Wucheng for my appearance and figure. I will never have this face with a figure like me. My face has a clear outline, deep eyes, high nose, and high-end style. Wen Ruyan is indeed not as good as me, but even so Gu Tingchen still loves her.
I suddenly found it ridiculous and put on the brightest lipstick.
Chu Xing pushed the door in as soon as he put on makeup. He saw me lit up and commented with a smile: "I have always known that you are beautiful, but I never knew that you are so delicate, like a doll, and I can't find any shortcomings."
"What's the use of being pretty?"
Chu Xing replied: "Beautiful and pleasing to the eye."
"Maybe, when will you go to the banquet?"
"It's OK now, the banquet has already begun."
Chu Xing picked up my camel coat and put it on me. When we arrived at the banquet, the organizer of the banquet saw Chu Xing and I, and came to greet me in person and said, "Mr. Chu, Miss Shi is waiting for the big trip, but it really adds glory to me this birthday party."
Chu Xing curled his lips and said with a smile: "Old Mr. Song is joking, and it will be more cooperation in the future."
"Okay, OK, Mr. Chu really gave me a big gift."
Wucheng is in charge of the Shi family and Gu family, and the Chu family is in charge of the most in charge of S City.
My mother was willing to let Chu Xing go back to the Chu family back then because of Chu Xing's own choice. He was a smart person and knew what he should grasp and what he should leave.
He thought he was not the real Shi family, and even if my mother gave him a bright future, he could not want the Shi family. What Chu Xing needed was his own power, a family that he could inherit completely.
So going back to the Chu family was the most correct thing he did at that time.
Now, everyone is flattering him and Gu Tingchen.
Because these two men are the top powers of the two cities.
And I gradually withered.
It’s not like it’s withering, I chose to quit myself.
Even so, 99% of the VIP guests at the banquet knew me.
Maybe seeing that I am not talking too much, no one will chat with me.
Just as he was about to be quiet, Gu Tingchen took Wen Ruyan to us. He looked at Chu Xing coldly and said sarcastically with a smile: "Is Miss Shi's new love Mr. Chu?"
I smiled without saying a word, Chu Xing hugged my shoulder and turned away.
"Wait, Shi Sheng."
Wen Ruyan called me, and Chu Xing's steps suddenly stopped.
He turned around and stared at Wen Ruyan coldly, "What are you calling her?"
Chu Xing's face was very cold, and Wen Ruyan said in a daze: "Shi Sheng."
Chu Xing's face changed and he shouted loudly: "Since she entered the door, everyone present either called her Shi Zheng or Miss Shi. Why do you call her name? Are she very familiar with you? Wen Ruyan, don't overestimate your weight. Everyone on the scene thinks you are just a mistress who climbs up to the position. I believe that Mr. Gu is not as sincere as you imagined to love you."
Wen Ruyan's face turned pale with anger, "You..."
Chu Xing's voice was not suppressed, and everyone around him heard the movement here and what Chu Xing said. Those who know Chu Xing knew that he was a very restrained man and never argued with anyone, especially a woman. Now he actually criticized Gu Tingchen's fiancée for me.
Gu Tingchen's expression was still cold, obscure, and difficult to understand. It was as if Chu Xing was not humiliating his fiancée. Wen Ruyan grabbed his arm and wanted to pray for protection. He sneered softly and echoed Chu Xing's words: "Mr. Chu is right. You are indeed a little unreasonable. How can you do nothing and do nothing to worry about the consequences? I won't talk to you today, just teach you a lesson."
Wen Ruyan's face changed. She might not have expected that the man she trusted the most did not help her.
I was also surprised. I thought Gu Tingchen would protect Wen Ruyan. Because there were so many people in public, Gu Tingchen would not protect Wen Ruyan. In the future, the wealthy and wealthy children of the upper class would not take Wen Ruyan too seriously. She had lost the dignity that a rich wife should have before she even married into a wealthy family.
I thought that the matter would fall, and the guests would disperse and would only discuss a few privately, but I didn't expect that Chu Xing would not let go, his voice was cold like a lump of ice, and he smashed among the guests one by one. "Shi Sheng is my bottom line. Whoever dares to offend her in the future? Even if I fight for my entire Chu family, I will make that person pay the price. Today's affairs cannot be abandoned. In order to give Miss Wen some substantial lessons, my Chu family unilaterally announced that as long as Miss Wen and the Gu family still have any relationship, my Chu family will not have any commercial cooperation with the Gu family, and my Chu family will not cooperate with the company that cooperates with the Gu family. Even if it is breach of contract, it is okay. I hope Miss Wen cherishes it."
Chu Xing bit the four words "Treasures" very tightly.
The economic attack on the Gu family is even more of a blow to Wen Ruyan. It is equivalent to putting the families of the two cities in opposition, and the small families around them are implicated. The most critical factor is Wen Ruyan. Chu Xing is forcing the Gu family to give up Wen Ruyan, and he is avenging me.
Everyone did not expect that just a title would cause this matter to be so serious, and they did not expect that Chu Xing regarded me so importantly. I looked up and he smiled gently and took me away.
He had no scruples on Tingchen's gloomy face at all.
When there was no one, I sighed and said, "There is no need to target her."
Chu Xing couldn't refuse, "I've heard you talk about the things between you and investigated them privately. Since she has made you uncomfortable, I naturally won't let her live a good life. Although you don't think it's necessary, Sheng'er, before you leave this world, I must let everyone know that you are precious."
As he spoke, Chu Xing swallowed even more.
His eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to rub my cheeks carefully, saying word by word: "Although we haven't seen each other for so many years, the feeling I used to be when we contacted privately is still there. I am still your brother, and you are still my sister. After my mother passed away, I knew you were very sad. I wanted to come here to find you, but you have always rejected me before and didn't know what you were afraid of. If I hadn't come to Wucheng to find you, when would you have to hide from me?"
What am I afraid of?!
Chu Xing contacted me the year when his parents died, but I refused him to come to Wucheng to find me because he had his Chu family at that time and was responsible. I was afraid that after he arrived in Wucheng, I would treat him as my only support and I couldn't live without him, but I knew in my heart that even if Chu Xing arrived in Wucheng that year, he would not change my current situation.
I was afraid that he would leave after giving me warmth, so I refused from the beginning.
I am afraid that if I rely too much on him, he will relax himself.
I said gratefully: "Thank you, brother."
The venue was brightly lit, and Chu Xing and I were standing at the shade. He hesitated for a long time before he asked me in a low voice, "Sheng'er, the doctor said you are really irreversible?"
His voice was slightly crying.
"Brother, will I joke with you about this?"
Chu Xing suddenly hugged me in his arms and said in tears: "I'm sorry, forgive me for coming to see you now. Sorry, Sheng'er, I'm even more sorry for my mother. I haven't taken good care of you."
"Brother Chu Xing, help me with another thing."
"You said, I will do it."
“I have a friend in prison…”
