Chapter 737: But I Can Leave You (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was common knowledge that one should wear red to a wedding, or white, if it was in the western style.
Men could pass with a black suit, but it would be very inappropriate for a woman to show up at a wedding wearing a black dress.
That was the color for… funerals.
The people of Yu City were very careful about such things, but that woman looked like she was completely ignorant of that. She slowly walked toward them.
When she was close enough, someone recognized her. “Hey, isn’t she that starlet? What was her name again… Luo Qianxi?”
Su Xiaomo frowned. She didn’t even need to guess. The woman was definitely here to make trouble!
Infuriated, she was going to throw a few punches at Luo Qianxi when He Jiayu stopped her.
His gentle smile looked apologetic. “Sorry… I’m the reason this happened. Let me take care of it. Don’t let it ruin your mood.”
Su Xiaomo snorted. “No, I’m going with you!”
He Jiayu was moved by those words. He smiled a little, joined arms with Su Xiaomo, and they walked toward Luo Qianxi together.
Luo Qianxi stared at He Jiayu with teary eyes. “My sister died for you, but you’re getting married and having kids now. Have you forgotten all about her? You owe her so much! Why should you have a happy life when she had to die young?”
She was here to ruin the wedding!
She had nothing to lose and didn’t care about the consequences. The only thing she could think of was that He Jiayu and Su Xiaomo couldn’t get what they wanted.
All these years, she had used her sister’s misfortune to ask He Jiayu for more money than she could count. He Jiayu had helped her countless times and she was often deliberately provocative in front of him. Instead of feeling grateful, she grew to believe that it was only natural that He Jiayu should be nice to her!
“Get your sister here, then! Who are you to say all those things for her? She helped He Jiayu because she genuinely cared for him and hoped he could live a good life. What did you do? You’ve only used her name to swindle money!” Su Xiaomo said harshly, making a pointed remark.
She was as good a verbal fighter as An Xiaxia was.
Luo Qianxi lowered her head, looking very pitiful. “I’m not like that… You make me sound so awful because you want to live happily with He Jiayu. My poor sister… She can only watch you alone from the other world…”
The guests began to whisper among themselves and Luo Qianxi smiled inwardly.
This was exactly what she had hoped to achieve.
“Miss Luo, up until now, I’ve helped you 724 times and given you over 30 million. Your job, your connections, your capital… pretty much everything you have was from me. And there’s also your family, whom you abandoned and whom I’ve been taking care of all these years. After everything I’ve done for you, you nearly caused my wife to lose her baby!” He Jiayu’s smile was as gentle as ever. “I owe your sister, not you. I’ve done everything humanly possible to help you. If you keep acting like this, I only have one thing to say.”
Luo Qianxi snapped, “How can you fuss over something that petty? It was just some favors and a little money…”
“Get out!” He Jiayu said calmly. Some men immediately escorted Luo Qianxi out of the ceremony grounds.
Su Xiaomo was bewildered. After a long moment, she said tentatively, “You impressed me a little just then…”
“Just a little?” He Jiayu smiled and picked up her hand. “Like I said: from now on, you’re under my protection.”
In the distance, Luo Qianxi was still screaming like a shrew.
However, no one paid any attention to her vicious words anymore.
Someone in the audience jeered, “Kiss her! Kiss her!”
