Chapter 1369: Shut Up
Jiang Yu’s expression became gentler, and he looked at her sideways intently as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
There was a dark storm in Wei Lingnan’s heart. He didn’t know why, but he wanted to smash her into pieces immediately, and would rather ruin her than see her with other men. “He slept with you?” He asked.
Xia Yingluo was surprised. Although she had wanted to stimulate him, she didn’t expect him to ask so plainly.
However, without showing weakness, she raised her head and chuckled. “Mr. Wei, who are you to ask me this?”
A thicker dark storm brewed in Wei Lingnan’s eyes. “You know your physical condition best. If you dare to mess around, do you believe I’ll kill him without a burial place?”
Jiang Yu felt that he had been shot while lying down. She was the one messing around, but he was the one who had to die?
However, as a man, especially a man who was still pursuing his beloved girl, he couldn’t show weakness. He took Xia Yingluo in his arms and met Wei Lingnan’s frightening eyes. “I’ll take care of her body. It’s not up to Mr. Wei to care.”
“Stupid.” Wei Lingnan spat out from between his teeth, his cold eyes still on Xia Yingluo.
Xia Yingluo certainly understood what he was talking about. She was pregnant with the World Tree now, so how could she mess around? It would cause a mess if it was hurt. So was Wei Lingnan angry only because of the World Tree? She felt dejected inside.
“Jiang Yu will take care of me.” She squeezed Jiang Yu’s arm tighter as if nothing happened. “Mr. Wei, you should just take care of Ms. Gu. No, it’s time to change her name and call her Mrs. Wei.” She turned her head and looked at Gu Jinxiu with her pretty eyes. “Mrs. Wei, congratulations.”
If Gu Jinxiu was here today to ask her to recognize the reality, then her goal was achieved.
Was it not enough for her to bless them in front of everyone?
There was another commotion in the crowd. It was one thing for the person who was out of love to have a new love. It was another thing to say congratulations to those who had harmed her so indifferently. Although Ms. Xia grew up famous, she was big-tempered.
The guests’ hearts fell to her again, and they felt a little more pity for her.
Gu Jinxiu did not expect her to be so open-minded to even take the initiative to call her Mrs. Wei and say congratulations. It was as if she had hit cotton with arrogance and strength only for it to bounce back. She was disappointed, but she couldn’t really be aggressive either. If she said anything to stimulate Xia Yingluo in public, even a fool would think that Gu Jinxiu was being too narrow-minded and petty.
So, she smiled faintly. “Welcome to my wedding with Nan. Ms. Xia, Mr. Jiang, please come inside.”
After that, she looked up at Wei Lingnan and smiled sweetly. “Nan, we should go in and prepare.”
The eyes of Wei Lingnan swept around Xia Yingluo and Jiang Yu as he accompanied Gu Jinxiu in.
Xia Yingluo watched them go and her straight back slightly relaxed. Although it was only a few minutes of confrontation, it felt as long as a few hours to her. She was the queen and had her pride, and couldn’t lose in any situation. She would be impeccable. She would face everything and become the focus of worldwide attention.
Jiang Yu helped her enter slowly. He carried most of her weight on his body and lowered his head to say in a volume no one else could hear. “You did very well. Look at all the people, they all think Gy Jinxiu is stingy. How could she get married and call you here to shame you.”
Xia Yingluo smiled reluctantly.
Jiang Yu gossiped to her to distract her attention. “Many men are looking at you. You are beautiful today, more beautiful than many superstars I have seen. Over time, you will definitely be the top film actress.”
“I am flattered by the movie king’s words.” She also joked slightly, wiping away the haze in her heart.
The two went all the way to the wedding venue. This was a lawn wedding. Men and women were dressed in elegant Chinese clothes and held wine glasses while talking freely. Not far away were the cake tower and flower gate, and the colorful balloons’ embellishment made the place look just like a fairy tale world. Jiang Yu took two glasses of wine from the tray of the waiter passing by and handed her a glass, but he said, “Drink less, you haven’t completely sobered up from yesterday.”
As soon as Xia Yingluo heard this, she felt her head tingle slightly. It was probably because she had yet to sober up from her hangover and felt a little nauseous.
She held the wine glass and really didn’t drink it. She said, “I have my limits.” She had come to this wedding not to made a mockery, and it wasn’t for personal enjoyment. Xia Yingluo would bring out her best state and make those people who gloated over her misfortune all shut up.
Jiang Yu smiled. “It’s boring standing around like this. I’ll get you some snacks.”
Xia Yingluo nodded. Jiang Yu went to the long table where snacks were placed on the lawn.
Xia Yingluo basked in the sun in boredom and sent away a few people who tried to chat with her. Suddenly, not far away, a woman with thick makeup and a man walked over. “Oh, I was wondering who it was. It really is you, Xia Yingluo.” The woman’s voice was sharp and high. “I thought you would cry to find your mother after receiving the invitation yesterday, but you’re quite shameless. You really came?”
“Pei Yan.” Xia Yingluo looked at her, her eyes narrowed slightly. “Take care of your mouth, don’t shame the Pei family.”
“You said I shamed the Pei family?!” Pei Yan screamed, staring at her with a pair of exaggerated apricot eyes. “What qualifications do you have to say that to me?! Aren’t you just a piece of trash that nobody wants! Right, Yixuan?”
The man next to her was Zhao Yixuan, who once had Xia Yingluo’s favor and turned her away.
Zhao Yixuan’s mood was very complicated. Since he learned that Xia Yingluo was actually the only jewel in the Li family, he had spent many sleepless nights agonizing over it. Why did he blindly abandon such a jewel and chose the rude and worthless Pei Yan? He hated himself and even hated Xia Yingluo. Why did she hide his identity from him? This was clearly infidelity to him!
Therefore, he wasn’t polite to Xia Yingluo. “Yingluo, I haven’t seen you in a long time, and you haven’t grown at all. You met a good man and didn’t know how to grasp it. If you were gentler and more considerate, why would you have to see the person you like be together with another woman? I’m even sad for you.” He was talking about Xia Yingluo and Wei Lingnan, but secretly, he was talking about himself.
Xia Yingluo felt sick at the sight of this person. She snorted coldly and did not speak.
Seeing the disdain in her eyes, Pei Yan couldn’t bear her treating her fiancee like this, so she said sharply, “Just keep pretending. Why don’t you admit that you’re depressed? Look at what you’re like. What are you even wearing, was this dress worth two thousand yuan? Haha, it lowers your status!”
