C50

Bai Keke pulled down the light cover and looked at the mirror on the back of the necklace. The sun-shaped pendant had a piece of light pink hibiscus stone inlaid in the middle, which was very fitting for his dress today, "Thank you, Big Brother.

Professor Li stroked Bai Keke's hair, "You will always be this happy."

"Big brother, I have a presumptuous request. Can you accompany me to attend my elder sister's engagement banquet? It would be awkward if I go by myself."

"If it's the weekend, I'm bound to do it."

At night, when Bai Keke returned home, he laid on the bed with the necklace in his hands and unknowingly laughed.

After An Ruyou returned home, she flipped through the invitation card countless times. She was unable to see any guilt towards Qiao Ruoyou from such a blissful object, and the most ironic thing was that she had been killed by them and had to attend their engagement ceremony. "Looks like I'm really very important to you guys, no matter if I'm buried underground or standing in front of you guys, must you be satisfied with being under my witness regarding bliss?"

In the middle of the night, An Ruyou's tears fell like rain. It was not because of the unrealistic fantasies of a venomous person like Xiao Ling, but rather, it was because of the coldness of his heart. In his previous life, all of the effort she put in could only make her, a stumbling block, more and more.

Recalling back to the future that she saw on the invitation card during the day, An Ruyou could only pray.

Ye Yi had recently immersed himself in filming new scenes, so he probably didn't have time to accompany An Ruyou to participate in the boring engagement banquet.

In the morning when she opened the wardrobe, An Ruyou was exhausted. Yesterday morning, running over to the construction site was already tiring, adding on to the fact that she had an insomnia, she had a headache now, a strange thought suddenly popped out of his mind. An Ruyou took out the silver needles she hid in the closet, and with the impression she had on his mind, she pricked them onto his finger. An Ruyou pulled out the needle, looked at the tiny blood stain on his finger, and could not help but exclaim in admiration, "What is this thing, it's so mystical!"

Everyone said that in an engagement ceremony, other than the bride, no one else should wear white. Even if they had to wear white, they had to choose whether they wanted to wear white or gray, and if they chose pure white, it would be inevitable that they would fight with the bride for the limelight. This was what An Ruyou had planned to do today, she planned to play the fool for once and wear pure white.

Her close-fitting cut reflected her graceful figure. Her handbag was inlaid with precious stones. She had an ancient and gorgeous appearance. With the red velvet high heels, she had the appearance of a goddess. An Ruyou sat in front of the dressing table and used the red lipstick to cover her lips.

As he walked out of the door, he coincidentally met Bai Keke who was similarly dressed.

An Ruyou saw the necklace on her neck immediately. It must be related to their date from yesterday. She stared at the necklace and somehow heard Bai Keke's sharp laughter.

"Elder sister, what's wrong with you?"

An Ruyou seemed to have awoken from a dream, "The necklace is too beautiful, I was stunned for a moment."

Bai Keke was elated upon hearing An Ruyou's praise, he dragged An Ruyou downstairs and said, "Let's go, big sister. It's not convenient for us to drive today, so I invited the chauffeur."

"Exclusive driver? Who is it? "

When he went out of the door, he saw Professor Li wearing a dark blue suit waiting for Bai Keke by the side of the car.

"I'm here." Bai Keke ran over and talked to him as if no one was around.

An Ruyou could only smile politely and climb onto the back of Professor Li's car.

Along the way, they talked and laughed, told anecdotes about the school, told stories about the pervert who was finally brought to justice. Bai Keke laughed out loud because of Professor Li's funny description, making him look extremely awkward. He believed that he would feel even more embarrassed when he arrived at the venue. An Ruyou suddenly regretted wanting to see the b * tch's thoughts. It would be better to rest at home or go to the construction site to have a look, in short, it would be more comfortable.

An Ruyou stood at the entrance, not daring to enter for a long time. She could see Father Qiao bringing Xiao Ling along as he stood at the entrance, shaking hands with everyone who had come forward. Aunt Qiao was dressed in an elegant qipao, the pearl necklace on her neck was almost the size of her eyeballs, she was currently fixing the gift money.

An Ruyou let out a long breath, straightened her back and walked into the venue, passing the red packet in her hand to Mother Qiao, "Auntie, hello." How ironic, I never felt that way when I called my mother before.

"Hello, you are the Wandering Cloud from Ann's, welcome."

An Ruyou politely greeted her. When she raised his head and saw He Chengyu, she thought to himself, Why did he come as well?

"It's a great honor for you to be here."

An Ruyou shook hands with his equally snobbish father Qiao, "Congratulations, you have become my son-in-law."

"It's just that I never thought that Miss Ann would come alone. There are a lot of single men present today, you better take this opportunity!"

An Ruyou could not resist laughing out, "It's up to you." He who had never spoken so kindly to his adopted daughter, a stranger whom he had met for the first time because of his submission to his position, spoke so kindly.

Surely they would be a good family.

An Ruyou anxiously wanted to escape this terrifying environment, to avoid everyone's gaze and enter the bathroom.

Unfortunately, someone had already occupied this place. He Chengyu stood in front of the mirror and washed his hands, then turned and walked into the female restroom.

After a while, he thought that he should be going. An Ruyou stepped out of the door, but realised that He Chengyu was leaning on the sink with his arms crossed.

An Ruyou wanted to ignore him, but she felt like doing so in secret, "If you want to apologize to me for the previous matter, I will do so. There is no need to wait for me in this kind of place, right?"

I did look for you for a reason, but it wasn't for the past. You know that a lot of single women came today, and they were a bit, uh, you understand what I'm saying, I don't want to get married so early, and I don't want to get in touch with those people. I think you have the same idea, so we can pretend to be lovers.

An Ruyou turned on the faucet and washed her hands, "What can I get? I'm not going to make a loss. "

"I know your project is contacting Lady Meng Ruyun, but I haven't received a reply."

An Ruyou's heart was in her throat, "You're investigating me?"

He Chengyu raised both his hands, "It's just that I happened to hear Ms. Meng mention it, I swear there's no other meaning, if you help me, maybe I can help you make an appointment to meet her."

"Impossible, Ms. Meng is very picky with the projects, she will not change her principles just because of a personal relationship, I will continue to change the frame until she agrees."

He Chengyu changed his movement, and walked in front of An Ruyou, "What if I can guide you through the Ms. Meng's assessment? Is this enough to satisfy you? "

"As expected of a merchant," An Ruyou said as she held onto He Chengyu's arm.

When he walked out, he discovered that the ceremony had already begun. The host stood at the very front and narrated the story of Qiao Ruoan and his love, lecturing those meaningless years in an extravagant fashion, as if they were born to love each other. An Ruyou could not help but laugh coldly when she heard this.

"What are you laughing at?" He Chengyu asked in a low voice.

"Don't you think they're too good?"

"If your sneer was just a bit warm, I would believe you. The natural disaster can really change a lot of people, you are completely different from what others used to say."

An Ruyou pretended to pat He Chengyu's arm intimately. "Those who truly want to know me, will not be able to do so through other people's mouths."

This was the first time that He Chengyu, who could always talk out loud when faced with a difficult problem, had experienced the feeling of speechlessness.

"I'm sorry, I apologize."

"Thank you." An Ruyou turned her head and accepted the champagne in the waiter's hands, then picked up the champagne to greet the people beside him.

Bai Keke saw a person standing beside An Ruyou from afar, but he could not see his face, "Could it be that Ye Yi is here?"

The master of ceremonies said passionately, "Let us raise our goblets together to celebrate the engagement of the couple."

Everyone raised their glasses.

Qiao Ruoan and Xiao Ling crossed their arms and drank their wine together.

Applause erupted from the crowd.

An Ruyou looked at all of this coldly. She had once imagined what kind of wedding dress or high heels she would wear when she married Xiao Ling. She had thought that she would always stand by Xiao Ling's side. However, had become An Ruyou. She wanted to stand below the stage like a spectator and watch their happy expressions.

He Chengyu realized that the girl beside him was trembling and her expression did not contain any warmth, "Are you alright?"

"I don't like today's wine very much." An Ruyou naturally tossed the crux of the problem over to the innocent wine, turned around, and walked to the resting area to sit.

"Why did you leave in advance before the ceremony ended?" He Chengyu followed and sat beside An Ruyou, "You didn't like today's wine, so I brought you a glass of orange juice."

"Thank you." An Ruyou took the cup, and looked at the pink rose that was on the table with dull eyes.

He Chengyu thought that she was brooding over the cancellation of the engagement, and immediately felt guilty, "I was too hasty in cancelling the marriage previously, sorry I had someone that was not bad, that's why I broke the engagement on the spur of the moment."

"It's a good thing that she has someone that she thinks is pretty good. Why didn't you bring her here today?"

He Chengyu's hand that was holding the wine cup stopped.
