Because Qin Yu had already told Lin Xi about the marriage earlier, when the old mistress brought it up, Lin Xi was not surprised at all.
The old lady then turned to look at Qin Yu, who also said: "I will listen to whatever grandmother says."
The old mistress was relieved when she saw that the two of them had agreed readily. That afternoon, he found someone to settle the few suitable days for him to get married into, and specifically brought it over for Lin Xi to choose from.
There were three dates on the paper, the most recent of which was this month, and the wedding preparations were too tight to handle. Amongst the remaining two, Lin Xi chose to directly face the day that was the furthest away from the current day — — a full five months away.
If things get out of hand, maybe five months later, Qin Yu wouldn't want to marry her again.
The Old Madem Qin didn't seem to notice her little thoughts, and didn't have any objections to the date she had chosen. She only said: "You can choose to live as long as you like, it doesn't matter even if it's far. It's just to give you time to prepare for your wedding. However, we still have to inform the outside world of the date of marriage first, so as to let those girls outside stop their thoughts of approaching Qin Yu. At the same time, it is also a kind of restriction for Qin Yu. "
Lin Xi nodded.
When they came, Qin Yu had told her not to disobey the madame.
Qin Yu naturally followed the madame's words, and quickly decided to hold a press conference at the Qin’s. One was to clarify the false rumors on the internet, and two was to announce the date of his marriage with Bai Nianxi.
On the day of the press conference, Lin Xi had to ask for another leave of absence, but her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lin Xi rushed from the crew to the press conference area, and found that Li Muze and Li Feier were there too. The four of them faced the camera, and explained the contents of the photo.
Li Muze first spoke: "I just happened to bump into Miss Bai in the courtyard. In fact, it's the first time we met that day, so there's no such thing as a reunion or a reunion at all."
Then, it was Li Feier: "Actually, I came to participate in the royal ball because I received the invitation as well. I was not specifically selected by the Mr. Qin as my companion, and it was only because we happened to meet each other on the road that we rushed over to the royal ball." As she spoke, she opened up an invitation to a party with a golden cover. Her name was clearly written on the invitation. "Everyone, look carefully. This is the original. No PS. It's real."
She had let go of the photo of the invitation letter on the internet yesterday, but everyone had complained that it was "fake" and "obviously came out of PS".
When the camera turned towards Lin Xi and it was her turn to speak, she was stunned.
Seeing that, Qin Yu directly went over to her and moved the microphone in front of him, saying: "That day at the party courtyard, Nian Xi and I did have a little misunderstanding, but I felt that it was normal for a couple to bicker, right? Besides, we have a date for the wedding, in May of next year, and we have recently begun preparations for the wedding. Therefore, there was no such thing as' revulsion for the old '.
The news of Qin Yu's wedding was announced rather suddenly, the media did not get any news of it beforehand. As a result, all the reporters present at the scene went into an uproar, even Li Muze and Li Feier looked at Lin Xi in shock.
The reporters started to ask about the wedding at once. Qin Yu picked his words and answered, then said, "The reason why I stood out to clarify it today was because I did not want these rumors to ruin my relationship with Nian Xi. I have always believed that it is the responsibility of the media to report facts fairly and objectively, rather than baselessly and falsely. Therefore, Qin’s has decided to file a lawsuit against the media who first spread the rumours, as well as relayed them. "
With that, he added, "We will not accept any mediation." This meant that in order to pursue the matter to the end, he must teach the rumored person a lesson.
After Qin Yu spoke, the press conference quickly ended. Lin Xi did not say a single word, and just gave the reporter a light kiss on his forehead as he was about to leave the venue, which could be considered as taking a photo.
When leaving the auction house, Li Feier intentionally expressed her congratulations to Lin Xi, who glanced at the distant Qin Yu, and then looked at Li Feier, who was in front of him.
In comparison, when Li Muze passed by Lin Xi, his words were sour.
He sneered disdainfully, "Yesterday, I just said that it was impossible for Qin Yu to always protect you, but I never thought that he would announce the marriage ceremony with you today. Miss Bai is truly a good method!"
Lin Xi did not have the mood to care about his provocation, and replied half-heartedly: "Thank you for your blessings, but you might as well focus more on your sister since you have the energy to pay attention to me. "Sorry, I'm short on time. I have to go back to the crew first."
The director of the crew was truly anxious, Lin Xi directly avoided Li Muze and headed downstairs.
Li Muze still had a cold face and wanted to say something, but Yao Jing interrupted him and said: "Mr. Qin has an important meeting to attend, so let me send Miss Nianxi back to the filming crew."
"Sure." Lin Xi did not reject the free driver.
However, before she left, she deliberately learned from Li Muze a moment ago and gave him a light, disdainful snort.
No matter how unhappy she was with his marriage with Qin Yu, she had to admit that with Qin Yu protecting her, she could truly act fearlessly and brazenly.
Lin Xi and Yao Jing walked downstairs together, but when they were passing by the stairwell, they heard Li Feier's voice, as if she was discussing the matter of the divorce.
"Did you see He Yunting today? When will he sign the divorce papers? "
He Yunting was precisely Li Feier's husband.
Li Feier heard their footsteps and turned around to see them.
With an awkward expression, she hung up the phone and said, "I'm sorry, I've let you guys down. It's true that it's just as you've heard, I've recently been making an agreement to divorce Yun Ting."
Hearing Li Feier admitting it himself, Lin Xi was still shocked.
He never thought that after Li Feier and He Yunting got married for only a year, it was rumored that the two of them had a good relationship after their marriage.
But then he thought again, wouldn't divorce mean that Qin Yu had hope again?
Her and Qin Yu's wedding would be held five months later, so perhaps in the end, it would be Qin Yu who kept his promise and met Yue Mingyue, and married Li Feier instead? Then wouldn't he be able to get rid of this loveless marriage?
But somehow, she thought that maybe she didn't need to marry Qin Yu, this was clearly what she was looking forward to, but it didn't make her happy.
Lin Xi looked at Li Feier, regardless of whether it was her appearance or temperament, the lady in front of him was outstanding, she was truly worthy of Qin Yu.
Furthermore, during the press conference just now, although she and Qin Yu had not interacted much, they had an unusual tacit understanding. Usually, with just a glance from Li Feier, he would be able to quickly understand what she meant.
Lin Xi did her best to not let herself think about it further. She consoled Li Feier: "Divorce is not a big deal, you still have someone else who loves you by your side. He will always be silently protecting you, you will be even happier."
The "he" that Lin Xi was referring to was naturally Qin Yu, but it was a pity that Li Feier did not understand her suggestion and only treated her words as ordinary words of comfort, as she thanked her with a smile.
Since both of them had their own matters to attend to, they bid each other farewell after exchanging a few simple words of greeting.
On the way back to the crew, Lin Xi absentmindedly sat in the back row, looking at Yao Jing who was focused on driving, her mind repeatedly recalled what Xing Lie had said before. He said that in the circle, only Yao Jing knew the story between Qin Yu and his ex-girlfriend.
Although she knew that it was somewhat inappropriate, the unwillingness to "Qin Yu loves her but not me" in her heart made her want to know what had happened between Qin Yu and herself.
Why did they love each other? And why separate?
After restraining herself for a while, Lin Xi was still unable to open her mouth.
She asked Yao Jing hesitantly: "Can you tell me about Qin Yu's former girlfriend?"
After asking, she immediately added, "I'm just curious, that's all."
Hearing her ask about this, Yao Jing's expression became a little surprised, she paused for a moment and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Nianxi, I feel that if you really want to know, it's better to ask Mr. Qin."
"I won't ask him!" Lin Xi rejected him without thinking, "Even if I asked him, he wouldn't say anything."
There had been no trust between them since he had forced her to agree to the marriage with his father in the hospital.
Yao Jing awkwardly laughed and said: "But, if Mr. Qin doesn't want to tell you, as his subordinate, I don't dare to say anything to you."
Lin Xi almost choked, but she still did not give up and continued, "Actually, I already know who she is. I'm just curious why she would give up on someone like Qin Yu …"
In her mind, she suddenly recalled the nurse's evaluation of Qin Yu back then. She continued to speak. A rich, handsome, devoted person who chooses to marry someone else. "
In Lin Xi's eyes, although Qin Yu's entire body was covered in flaws, compared to He Yunting, Qin Yu was like a cloud in the sky, while He Yunting was just mud on the ground.
But Li Feier chose to go with the last one.
When he thought about how Bai Nianxi was going to get married to Qin Yu, Yao Jing thought for a while and said: "Actually, Miss Nianxi doesn't need to worry too much about this. Mr. Qin's ex-girlfriend is already dead, although Mr. Qin can't completely forget about her, but I can see that he still cares about you."
"What!?" Who died? " Lin Xi was stunned, "Isn't Li Feier still alive and well?"
"Li Feier?" Yao Jing frowned, "You can't possibly have always thought that the person Mr. Qin likes is Li Feier, right?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Xi asked.
If that wasn't the case, she thought about the lie she told Li Feier earlier. What Qin Yu had been silently protecting her the entire time?
This dragon was too big!
Yao Jing shook his head: "It has nothing to do with Li Feier, she is dead."
Lin Xi was stunned by the reversal. She actually felt a little heartache for Qin Yu.
He had waited so long for his beloved to marry someone else, and he had waited for her to die … This journey should be filled with despair.
Lin Xi lowered her head and did not say another word, her heart heavy, as if that despairing person had become him.
Yao Jing looked at her through the rearview mirror. Seeing her downcast expression, he was actually a little annoyed. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you don't know who she is, I can tell you some stories about her."
Lin Xi raised her head, and waited for him to continue.
Yao Jing smoothly turned the car onto another road and slowly told the story of Qin Yu and the dead woman.
"The Mr. Qin was born in France. He was brought back to the Mr. Qin by the madame after the death of his mother. Every year after that, on the day of his mother's sacrifice, he would go to France and stay there for a few days.
"A few years ago, when the Qin’s changed hands, the clan's internal strife was very serious. You also know that in a large clan like the Qin Clan, family members are sometimes inferior to strangers. At the very least, strangers wouldn't always want to kill you in order to take over your own interests. The Qin family was just being polite on the surface. Furthermore, Mr. Qin's father was a romantic and there were still a lot of illegitimate children outside. Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to get a share.
"At that time, the news of Mr. Qin going to France was somehow leaked out. He was assassinated, and almost died abroad. At that time, it just so happened that 'that young miss' saved him. They spent a painful and happy time abroad.
"The pain was because Mr. Qin was shot twice and both bullets were stuck in his body. One of them was close to his arteries while the other one was stuck in his spine. But because the 'lady' was wounded when she saved him, and they were in the same hospital, taking care of each other, they had a happy time. Then they fell in love.
"Or rather, the Mr. Qin thought that they had fallen in love. Not long after, 'that young miss' fully recovered and returned to her hometown, she quickly fell for someone else again. She seemed to have completely forgotten about the Mr. Qin.
"And then, you know, she married someone else, and not long ago she died in an accident."
Yao Jing was just like him, cold and indifferent, it was an objective way of narrating a story, without any kind of emotional embellishment. However, when Lin Xi finished listening to it, she surprisingly felt the same way, she didn't even know when the tears had come out.
Yao Jing sighed, and took the chance while he was waiting for the red light to pass her a few tissues.
Lin Xi took it and wiped her tears, but as she wiped it away, she suddenly had an idea. She raised her head and asked Yao Jing: "Is the place that Qin Yu visits every year in Provence, France?"
A few years ago, she was on a college vacation, influenced by her online strategy, and had been to Provence, where she had saved a man's life in the countryside!
