Chapter 114 Traitors

Today is my brother's wedding to my sister-in-law.

Bai Zhenzhu, as a bridesmaid, was busy with everything.

I inevitably met my parents.

In fact, after going to Italy, Bai Zhenzhu cut off contact with her parents, only occasionally hearing news about them from her brother.

For example, Dad has retired peacefully, and Mom goes to square dancing every night. During the Chinese New Year, we sometimes talk about her, wondering if she feels lonely living alone abroad...

Whenever her brother talked about these things, Bai Zhenzhu seemed to be listening to someone else's story, showing no emotion.

She was long past the age of having expectations of her parents; as long as they lived a carefree, peaceful, and healthy life, she didn't care.

"pearl……"

Bai Zhenzhu finally finished her work and rested in the lounge for a while when her parents came in.

When her mother saw Bai Zhenzhu, her eyes filled with tears and her voice choked with emotion.

Dad, on the other hand, remained expressionless, as if he had been dragged in by Mom.

Bai Zhenzhu looked over calmly, her face devoid of any warmth.

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu's behavior, Bai's father immediately waved his hand and yelled at Bai's mother, "I told you, she's an ungrateful wretch! What is she doing here? Get out of here right now!"

Bai's mother was being pulled away by Bai's father to leave when Bai Zhenzhu suddenly stood up and slowly walked to stand in front of them.

He flashed a confident yet distant smile, "I thought that after three years, I had grown up enough to stand on my own, and that you two would have come to your senses. But I've discovered that you'll never understand your mistakes, and you'll just live your lives in a daze..."

Bai Zhenzhu's smile suddenly vanished as she spoke, "Fortunately, I didn't remain as foolish as you... I escaped this sea of ​​suffering in time..."

"You scoundrel! How dare you say your parents are confused! You've really turned the tables on everyone!"

Father Bai raised his hand to slap him again, but Bai Zhenzhu stopped him.

“I’m not your daughter anymore. If you slap me like that, I will definitely call the police!”

"You! You!" Mr. Bai clutched his chest, his lips turning purple with anger.

"Old Bai, how are you? Don't be angry! Don't be angry!" Bai's mother comforted Bai's father while explaining to Bai Zhenzhu, "Zhenzhu, your father has high blood pressure and a bad heart, so please don't make him angry, okay? We're all family, and today is your brother's big day, so don't make a scene!"

My mother is always like this, crying and apologizing to her while simultaneously criticizing her in a biased way.

“I have never made a fuss. If I had, I wouldn’t have been suppressed by you for so many years.”

She didn't look at them again and left the lounge indifferently.

...

I was already in a bad mood, and getting to the wedding banquet made me even worse.

Because she suddenly saw Shi Jin and Mai Mai among the guests.

Bai Zhenzhu immediately went to her brother's side and asked what had happened.

My brother had been forced to drink a lot of alcohol, and now his face was flushed. "Oh, you mean Mai Yue'er? Your sister-in-law consulted her about some legal issues the other day, and they got to know each other after a while, so she invited the couple to the wedding..."

Then the older brother pointed to Shi Jin next to Mai Mai and said, "Hey, Pearl, do you know who that man next to Mai Yue'er is?"

Bai Zhenzhu thought to herself, of course she knew! And they were even intimate in bed.

"That's Mai Yue'er's fiancé, the president of the Shi Group, and the richest man in China! Isn't he handsome?"

"Dude, are you drunk? You call him handsome? Don't you think he's greasy?"

At that moment, Shi Jin's gaze turned and met Bai Zhenzhu's gaze across the distance.

But they only made eye contact for a second before turning their heads away indifferently.

Mai Mai also saw Bai Zhenzhu, but her eyes no longer held admiration and worship for her; instead, they were filled with jealousy and resentment.

Bai Zhenzhu doesn't care. Isn't that how the relationship between celebrities and fans is? They come quickly and go even faster. Anyway, the next one will be better.

Mai Mai deliberately clung tightly to Shi Jin's side, then raised her wet eyes and said with a coquettish smile, "Shi Jin, let's go over and congratulate the bride and groom."

"good."

Mai Mai, arm in arm with Shi Jin, came to Bai Juncheng and Mu Wanting, just as Bai Zhenzhu was still by their side.

Mai Mai politely congratulated them, saying, "Congratulations! I wish you a long and happy marriage and many children."

Mu Wanting said happily, "Thank you, Attorney Mai, and thank you very much, President Shi, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding with Juncheng."

Shi Jin replied in a businesslike manner, "You're Mai Mai's friend, so it's only right."

In short, Shi Jin elevated Mai Mai's status to an extremely high level, making it clear to everyone how much he valued her.

Bai Zhenzhu pouted, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

Suddenly, Bai Juncheng turned to Bai Zhenzhu and introduced her: "Zhenzhu, let me introduce you. This is lawyer Mai Yue'er, and the man next to her is Mr. Shi, lawyer Mai's fiancé."

"Mr. Shi, Attorney Mai, this is my sister, Bai Zhenzhu."

Later, after Shi Jin was formally introduced to Bai Juncheng by Mai Mai, she realized how badly she had been deceived by Bai Zhenzhu.

At that time, he thought Bai Juncheng was Bai Zhenzhu's backup plan and even called him an old man.

In reality, it was all just a scheme by Bai Zhenzhu to seduce him; Bai Juncheng was merely a tool.

Bai Zhenzhu had been staring at Shi Jin, who then turned to look at her after Bai Juncheng's words, raising an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? So this is Dr. Bai's sister. I thought..."

Shi Jin deliberately stopped halfway through her sentence, and her tone and expression made anyone who didn't know better think that Bai Zhenzhu was some kind of disreputable woman.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Bai, I didn't mean anything by it. I just feel that your sister's temperament is quite different from yours."

That's a better way to put it than to say anything at all.

White Pearl's toes were fighting inside her high heels in frustration.

Not to be outdone verbally, she mimicked Shi Jin's nonchalant tone and said, "Mr. Shi, hello. Seeing is believing. You are much more handsome than you appear on TV, especially your hairstyle today. I remember my grandfather used to love wearing this kind of slicked-back hair. Back then, I used to tease him, saying, 'Grandpa, only traitors wear hair like that!'"

Bai Zhenzhu laughed innocently and romantically, as if she were recounting a funny childhood story, but the expressions of the others clearly became awkward because of her jokes.

Shi Jin, in particular, turned as black as charcoal at a visible speed.

He gritted his teeth and smiled as he asked, "Traitor?" as if incredulous.

Bai Juncheng was speechless; this younger sister was always so outspoken.

If I offended President Shi, I would be in trouble. So I quickly explained, "I'm sorry, President Shi, Pearl didn't mean any harm. Please don't overthink it. I apologize on her behalf."

Shi Jin remained a gentleman, continuing to smile and say, "Of course I won't overthink it. Miss Bai is straightforward and frank, and I really like that kind of personality. She says what she thinks, unlike some hypocritical and treacherous people who love to stab you in the back."

Thanks to Shi Jin's indifference, this incident passed.

Bai Zhenzhu turned around deftly and went to the dining area next door.

She's been so busy today, she needs to eat something to fill her stomach.

Just as she was eating a big chicken leg without any regard for her image.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed over me.

A familiar feeling, a familiar taste, a familiar level of light and shadow.

With her mouth full of grease, she looked up at the "traitor" with the slicked-back hair, almost spitting out the chicken leg bits she was eating.

Shi Jin, his face expressionless, rested his hands on the table and whispered like a demon, "Bai Zhenzhu, you're calling me a traitor?"
