Chapter 5 005 He Ziluo

The wedding was bustling with people.

Xue Yi's gaze passed through the crowd and fell on Yu Zeyuan who was leaning against the wall.

He was tall and slender, with a lazy posture, and his fine bangs covered his eyebrows and eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

Putting aside that naughty temper, this face is indeed impeccable.

She gave me a look, indicating that I should follow her.

Most of the people at Xue Yi's table are alumni, including He Ziluo.

Zhu Rong sat on her right, and the position on her left was naturally left to Yu Zeyuan.

His appearance instantly attracted most of the attention.

Everyone heard clearly what Zhu Rong said in the hall just now. They didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Yu Zeyuan, they believed it about 70% of the time.

This noble temperament is no less than the appearance of a celebrity. How can an ordinary person hold it?

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer: "Xue Yi, I heard you've been doing pretty well these past few years. Where are you currently working?"

In the past few years, I didn't know what worry was like in school. After entering society, I suffered a lot. Only then did I understand the importance of connections and circles. Naturally, I would not miss the good opportunity to curry favor with them.

For a moment, Xue Yi became the focus of the table.

She has always been low-key and never exposed her family background. She could only force a smile and say, "It's a small company, just trying to make a living."

"You're too modest! If you know of any way to make money, please help us old classmates! The job market is so tough these days!"

"That's right, I work overtime every day until I'm bald, but my salary doesn't move at all. I'm just a slave!"

Everyone complained bitterly.

Just at this moment, a sudden sneer came from the table, like a needle piercing the ears, interrupting everyone.

"He Ziluo."

Xue Yi's tone was powerful, and his voice penetrated the noisy atmosphere, and the whole table suddenly became quiet.

"From the moment you walked in until now, you've smiled twice." Her eyes were sharp. "Are you dissatisfied with me in some way?"

He Ziluo hadn't expected to be publicly named. He was stunned for a second, then, in a fit of rage, he raised his voice and said sarcastically, "What? Miss Xue is rich now? You don't even allow people to laugh?"

Xue Yi's pupils were originally larger than those of ordinary people, and they looked innocent and lively when staring at people, but at this moment they were dark and heavy, as if soaked in frost.

"Oh..." She paused deliberately, then suddenly realized, "So, you think it's funny that everyone complains about working overtime?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on He Ziluo, with surprise, doubt, and anger at being offended.

He Ziluo was caught off guard and was speechless. He was about to open his mouth to refute.

Xue Yi didn't give her a chance and pressed on: "Or should everyone here be like you, with parents from Beicheng, who can use their connections to comfortably retire in a state-owned enterprise?"

During his college years, He Ziluo often relied on his family background to boss his classmates around him, which incurred public anger.

At that time, due to the authoritarian environment, everyone dared to be angry but not to speak out. Now that we have entered society and are fellow workers, we no longer want to endure it.

These words were like a fuse, igniting the long-suppressed resentment.

"He Ziluo, put away your condescending attitude. Being a native of North City is a great thing!"

"You're just taking advantage of your parents' influence. What's there to be proud of?"

………

The voices of condemnation rose and fell.

He Ziluo's face turned from red to white, and then from white to blue. Her fingertips clenched the tablecloth tightly. She wanted to argue, but looking at those angry faces, all the words were stuck in her throat.

"I, I'm going to the bathroom."

She fled in panic amidst a sea of ​​contempt.

Without He Ziluo's spoiler, everyone started laughing and chatting happily again.

Xue Yi slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Zhu Rong, who was standing beside him, quietly gave a thumbs up under the table.

However, Yu Zeyuan, who had been standing aside and watching from the sidelines, sneered.

His heavy gaze fell on Xue Yi's profile. That night in the bar, she had humiliated him in the same condescending manner, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Just at this moment, the screen of the mobile phone on the table lit up.

Yu Zeyuan glanced at the caller ID and his face immediately turned ugly.

He stood up, answered the phone, and walked out of the banquet hall. The wedding host's exciting voice was in his ears.

"Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends and family, good afternoon! Let us give the warmest applause to welcome today's protagonists, the bride and groom, to their shining stage!"

Xue Yi's attention was completely absorbed by the wedding ceremony, and she didn't even notice the departure of the people next to her.

The melodious "Wedding March" echoed in every corner of the banquet hall.

Zhang Hui, holding her father's arm, walked slowly from the other end of the red carpet to the spotlight in the center of the stage, accompanied by music.

The groom Sun Yang was waiting for her with a smile on his face.

"From the youthful university campus, step by step to the sacred palace of marriage, their love may not be vigorous and passionate, but it is like a trickle of water, soaking into each other's lives, long and steadfast..."

Xue Yi raised her mobile phone and excitedly captured this touching scene full of happiness and promise.

After the filming was completed, she turned around contentedly and found that Yu Zeyuan's seat had been vacant for some time.

Did he go to the bathroom?

She muttered to herself but didn't think about it further.

The wedding speeches are over.

The waiters began to move around the table, and exquisite dishes were served one after another.

Xue Yi hadn't eaten a single grain of rice the whole morning and was already starving.

She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few plump prawns, carefully peeled off the shells, and put the tender shrimp meat into the bowl of Zhu Rong sitting next to her.

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, then broke into a smile, pouting exaggeratedly and making a "boo" sound towards the air: "Yiyi still understands me the best! She knows that I don't like peeling shrimp shells."

Xue Yi curled her lips and gave a faint smile in response.

Zhu Rong didn't eat much before suddenly putting down her chopsticks. "Oh, I guess I drank too much and want to go to the bathroom. Do you want to come with me?"

Xue Yi shook his head.

"Okay!" Zhu Rong stood up and reminded him, "Help me peel more shrimps. Love you!"

"I know."

Xue Yi had just picked up the shrimps and hadn't peeled two when Zhu Rong came running back in a hurry with a grim look on her face. She grabbed her wrist with such force that the shrimps almost flew away.

"What? Forgot to bring paper?"

“Stop peeling shrimp!”

Zhu Rong grabbed her arm and walked out, leaning close to her ear and whispering anxiously, "That vixen surnamed He is hooking up with someone again!"

Xue Yi's heart sank suddenly and his eyes fell on the empty seat.

Yu Zeyuan has been away for a long time!

*

He Ziluo came out of the bathroom after putting on makeup, with anger and unwillingness on her face, and saw the tall figure leaning in the shadow of the corridor column.

Yu Zeyuan stood sideways, his tall and slender figure outlined in the dim light.

A vicious thought flashed through my mind: If I can pry the corner once, I can definitely pry it a second time...

My boyfriend is flirting with another woman in public.

Xue Yi, it’s time for you to taste the shame!

He Ziluo immediately put on a charming smile, twisted her waist and walked closer. When she was one step away from Yu Zeyuan, she deliberately twisted her foot and threw herself at him with an "Ouch!"

Yu Zeyuan had just hung up the phone and before he could react, a figure fell straight towards him.

I subconsciously turned sideways, but the other person's hand still rested on my arm.

He lowered his eyes, and his deep eyes beneath his fringe swept over the place he was touched. He frowned in disgust, "Don't you have bones? Don't let go!"

*

Not far away, Xue Yi and Zhu Rong happened to see this scene.

In their eyes—He Ziluo was almost sticking to Yu Zeyuan, laughing so hard that his body was shaking!

A surge of anger suddenly rose up.

I paid you to be my front girl, and you hooked up with my sworn enemy?!

Xue Yi rushed over angrily, his eyes piercing the two of them like knives: "What are you doing here?!"

Yu Zeyuan was shocked, and when he saw her angry face, a sense of revenge flashed through his heart.

He was in no hurry to explain. He slowly distanced himself from He Ziluo, as if brushing off some dirt, and a provocative smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Chat."

"That's right~ We had a great time chatting!"

He Ziluo thought the other party had taken the bait, and proudly lifted his hair, adding fuel to the fire.

Xue Yi looked at the two people singing the same tune and laughed out of anger.

I had wanted to save some face for them at the wedding, but now it seems that’s not necessary.

She lowered her voice and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "You forced me to do this."

Xue Yi spread out her fair palm and placed it in front of He Ziluo: "Ms. He, it seems that you are very interested in this male companion I 'rented'. I forgot to tell you that his hourly wage is 1,000 yuan. He has been with you for almost half an hour, so it's 500 yuan."

"And this dress,"

She glanced at the cuff that He Ziluo had touched with disgust, "You just stained it, I don't want it anymore. I bought it yesterday for 14,900 yuan, and the invoice and receipt are complete."

"I'll give you a 20% discount, 11,920. Since we've been roommates for four years, I'll round it off to 11,900."

"Add the five hundred for half an hour, that makes twelve thousand four hundred."

"Card or cash?"

He Ziluo was stunned by the bill that hit him, and it took him a while to find his voice: "You, what do you mean by that?!"

She suddenly realized: "What do you mean by rented male companion? What do you mean by money for clothes? Xue Yi, you are crazy!"

Xue Yi sneered, her voice low but loud enough for those nearby to hear clearly: "Isn't it clear enough? Do you want me to show you the invoice and employment contract? Or should I use a calculator to calculate it for you again?"

She looked at He Ziluo from head to toe with disdain, "But, looking at your outfit, I can't afford to support you even if I can!"

"You!" He Ziluo was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed his finger at Yu Zeyuan, then at Xue Yi, and his voice changed: "I... I finally understand! You guys worked together to set up a honey trap! You want to blackmail me?"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Zhu Rong, standing by, wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity. She clamped her hands tightly around He Ziluo's arm and said, "Want to run? Pay Yiyi's bill first! Everyone's watching!"

At this moment, Yu Zeyuan had already frozen in place.

The pleasure of revenge just now disappeared, leaving only the huge absurdity.

In public, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He was actually publicly priced and blatantly framed as a gigolo? ! !
