Ye Wanqing turned his head in shock and saw Ye Zhixin's ashen face filled with despair.
She did not expect Ji Xiao to actually … Reject the engagement with Ye Zhixin.
After a moment of silence, all the guests present started to discuss among themselves. Ye Zhixin's entire being was frozen in place as she clenched her fists tightly and straightened her back to meet everyone's gaze.
At this moment, she knew that she had become the joke of the entire Li City.
She was abandoned in public by her fiancé.
And the culprit who caused all the humiliation for her, was the woman called Ye Wanqing who stood below her!
Ye Wanqing was taking revenge on her, on everything she had done in the past few years!
She glared at Ye Wanqing, as if she wanted to carve all of her emotions into her bones. Then, she heard Ji Xiao say in an extremely gentle and affectionate tone: "What I like is Young Master Gu's companion tonight. I've done some things that hurt her before and she still can't forgive me, but I will break the engagement and chase her properly!"
He especially emphasized the word 'female companion', completely ignoring the fact that Gu Jinyuan previously said that Ye Wanqing was already a Mrs. Gu.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Ji Zhongliang scolded and walked up the stage quickly, snatched the microphone, and stopped Ji Xiao from saying even more ridiculous words.
Today, the elders of the Gu, Ji, and Ye Families as well as the majority of their famous ones all had their faces slapped on the face of the Ye Family when Ji Xiao publicly annulled the marriage.
The Ye Family had no face at all. This was just a moment of impulse on the part of a young man, but it would cause conflicts between the Ye Family and Ji Family.
If the younger generations could not maintain a harmonious and friendly state, how could the alliance between the two families be maintained?
"Sorry everyone, the engagement banquet will be held as usual. The wedding ceremony will be held in three months. When that happens, we will definitely invite everyone to come and drink some wedding wine."
Ji Zhongliang glanced at him, and immediately, someone moved Ji Xiao to the side. Ji Xiao did not resist, and only looked at Ye Wanqing stubbornly.
Just as Ye Wanqing wanted to see it more clearly, Gu Jinyuan moved slightly. He did not know if it was intentional, but his broad shoulders blocked Ji Xiao's view.
Ye Wanqing was startled, then retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Zhensheng.
Yes, no matter what Ji Xiao did, it was his own decision.
She would not be with him because there was no 'if' in this world. Many things happened and happened.
Ye Zhensheng's face became ugly, originally, the date of the wedding would have been announced at the engagement banquet, but because of the sudden incident, the wedding that Ji Zhongliang said would be held three months later, and was not discussed with Ye Zhensheng at all.
Ji Zhongliang would definitely not be satisfied with his actions, but right now, in order to maintain the reputation of the two families, Ye Zhensheng had restrained his emotions and did not publicly refute his words.
After the announcement of the wedding, Ye Zhensheng took Lu Yun, Ye Zhixin and the others and left, while Ji Zhongliang sullenly ordered his men to bring Ji Xiao back. In the entire hall, only Ji Xiao's big brother, Ji Yao, was left to take charge of the overall situation.
Ji Yao was ten years older than Ji Xiao, and had been much more mature than him since young. Back then, he had also helped Ye Wanqing a few times at school.
As Ji Yao carried his wine cup over, he wore a warm and shallow smile, as if he didn't know that Gu Jinyuan had stirred so much trouble just now. He merely looked at Ye Wanqing indifferently: "It's been a few years, and she's gotten more beautiful."
Ye Wanqing nodded his head, smiled, and thanked him. "Thank you, young master, for your praise."
The moment she said that, her waist tightened, and Gu Jinyuan stopped her, almost pressing her body close to him, it was strangely ambiguous.
"Young Master Ji and Mrs. Gu are old friends as well?"
His words were heavy and unclear whether it was anger or joy. Ji Yao took a sip of his wine and honestly said, "I've met him a few times, so I'm not too familiar with him."
Gu Jinyuan said with a smile that was not a smile: "It's good that you aren't familiar with me, I have a strong desire to monopolize this place, and the thing that I hate the most is that others are coveting my things. It's best for Young Master to explain it clearly to Second Young Master, I do not want to hear anything like that again!"
After he finished speaking, he half carried Ye Wanqing out of the hall.
Just as he walked to the door, Lu Zhou drove over.
Gu Jinyuan carried Ye Wanqing and directly stuffed her inside. His actions were a little rough, and Ye Wanqing's head almost knocked into the car door.
Just as he was done, Gu Jinyuan got in from the other side of the car and closed the door.
Her voice was loud, and Ye Wanqing could clearly feel that this man was angry.
But what was he angry about?
Wasn't everything he wanted tonight?
His Ji Family and Ye Family had caused him to lose face, and he had achieved his goal.
Ye Wanqing lowered his head, and carefully thought back to where he had done badly tonight, but the pressure in the car was getting lower and lower. After a while, the man finally opened his mouth and said softly, "You and the two young masters Ji Family are on pretty good terms!"
"…"
Didn't Ji Yao just say that they weren't familiar with each other? This person... Why are you angry?
"No, I just met him a few times."
Ye Wanqing calmly replied, and did not want to talk too much about it.
"…"
Gu Jinyuan pursed her lips and did not speak any further. The atmosphere was still extremely tense and Ye Wanqing relaxed his body and leaned against the back of the chair.
This person was really good at being angry. Even if he was angry now, it wouldn't affect his handsomeness.
He was so high up, and from today's brief confrontation with Gu Qinghai, Ye Wanqing had become even more aware of the gap between them.
But in his heart, he already couldn't help but want to get a little closer to him.
Thinking about that, Ye Wanqing unconsciously raised his hand, wanting to draw the outline of him on the window, but when he touched the window, he felt a sharp pain.
"Hiss …"
Ye Wanqing gasped, wanting to retract his leg, but Gu Jinyuan grabbed her leg instead.
The warm and dry palm caused Ye Wanqing's heart to skip a beat, and his entire body started to feel uncomfortable.
Gu Jinyuan didn't notice her abnormality and only coldly stared at her slightly swollen ankle. Then, he poked her ankle.
"Don't... "It hurts!"
Ye Wanqing could not help but speak, and after he finished speaking, Lu Zhou then raised up the middle part of the barrier.
"…"
Wait! We're not going to do that!
Ye Wanqing wanted to explain, but Gu Jinyuan reprimanded her even faster than her, "How did you get injured?"
Ye Wanqing recalled, and it should have been when Ye Zhanxun had rushed over, that Gu Jinyuan had pushed her away.
Lowering his eyes in silence, Ye Wanqing replied: "I accidentally sprained it."
Gu Jinyuan's expression was still not good, but she did not say anything more. She took off the high heels on her feet, and then her expression suddenly turned cold!
