Chapter 389 I wish you a long and happy life together
Shi Bo raised his hand and stroked his forehead. He suddenly felt that it was not Song Jinan who was sick, but him.
Song Jinan felt uncomfortable after hearing this. He had no intention of developing any relationship with Bai Caiwei, let alone a marriage.
Thinking of this, Song Jinan turned to look at Bai Caiwei, her voice calm, with a hint of apology in her light brown eyes: "I came here to visit my relatives this time, and I will be returning to the countryside in two days."
This was incomprehensible and irrelevant, but everyone understood his subtext: I have to go back to the countryside to join the production team, and I came here on leave to visit my family. I don't plan to get married. I've made it very clear, so don't bother me.
Bai Caiwei was almost laughing out of anger. She didn't look at Song Jinan, but just stared at Gu Yuehuai with complicated eyes.
Her emotions tonight really fluctuated with this little person. What was so good about her? At this time, even she couldn't help but be curious. Yan Shaoyu and Song Jinan, the two men with whom she had a deep relationship, both liked her.
Shi Bo slammed the table and his voice turned cold: "Good morning!"
His purpose tonight was to facilitate this marriage. If Song Jinan was really so determined, it would inevitably hurt Comrade Gu. No matter what, even if Song Jinan was not with Bai Caiwei, it could not be Gu Yuehuai.
He stared at Gu Yuehuai sharply, without moving his gaze away, but whispered in Song Jinan's ear: "Don't force me."
Gu Yuehuai was watching with great interest. Everyone at the table was very careful. She just came over to sit, said a few words, and drank a few sips of water, and she had already stirred up the tense atmosphere at the table. Tsk, just thinking about it made her feel a sense of accomplishment.
She glanced at the place where Yan Shaoyu was, and it was empty.
Gu Yuehuai was relieved and chuckled, "Why are you so tense? Come on, sit down, let's have a drink."
Her heartless look made Xu Yin sneer: "Cheers? What identity do you have to toast with us? This is not the place you should come to. You probably don't know that tonight's banquet is actually for Caiwei and Jin Ange..."
Before Xu Yin finished speaking, Song Jinan shouted, "Xu Yin! You should know what you can and cannot say."
He was not afraid that Gu Yuehuai would hear it. At this point, she had already come to the banquet. It was impossible for her not to know. But knowing was one thing, and speaking out was another. Everyone present now was not an ordinary person. They all had a pivotal position in Huaihai City. Once Xu Yin said it and put the matter out in the open, it would be difficult to resolve.
He didn't want to be involved with Bai Caiwei, even if it was just a trivial marriage rumor.
Xu Yin bit her lip and wanted to say it out loud regardless of the consequences so that this bitch would give up. However, when she met Song Jinan's warning eyes, she didn't have the courage. This was the first time she saw the mild-tempered Song Jinan get angry.
Bai Caiwei suddenly laughed out loud and tilted her head to look at Song Jinan: "Why, marrying into my Bai family, did it wrong you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, countless gasps were heard all around.
Bai Caiwei's questioning was so sharp and cold that it hit people's heartstrings. If her answer was slightly off, the upper echelons of Province H would be in great turmoil. It was unthinkable that the provincial party secretary and the governor would become enemies.
Shi Bo's expression also changed, and he looked at Bai Caiwei in disbelief.
He had known Bai Caiwei for a long time. This rich young lady was known for her smooth personality and never offended anyone easily. It was obviously inappropriate for her to say that in such an occasion. It would only arouse speculation from the outside world about the relationship between the two parties.
Could it be that she really didn't like Song Jinan's open feelings for Gu Yuehuai and was annoyed?
Shi Bo thought about it and this was the only reason.
He originally wanted Gu Yuehuai to give up, but he didn't expect that she was not fazed at all by coming to such an occasion. Instead, she was at ease and even took the opportunity to build connections and try to get into the upper class of Huaihai City.
This woman is indeed a scheming country girl who is trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.
After hearing what Bai Caiwei said, Song Jinan felt a little depressed. He turned his eyes around and found that everyone's attention was on this side. They also heard her question just now. If he didn't answer well, it might really provoke a fight.
Shi Bo's eyes flickered, and he stepped out to smooth things over: "Caiwei, you really misunderstood. Jin An didn't mean that. You also know the significance of going to the countryside. He really can't stay in Huaihai City forever. He needs to experience himself."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Yuehuai, who was holding the water cup and had no reaction, and continued: "The marriage is well known. This is also the consensus reached by the governor and the secretary. How can Jin An feel wronged? What do you think, Jin An?"
Shi Bo reached out and held Song Jinan's shoulder, exerting a little force, indicating that he should answer properly.
Song Jinan clenched his fists, the blue veins on his temples throbbing, as if he was trapped in an irresistible vortex, and if he was not careful he would fall into it and be completely crushed.
He tilted his head slightly to look at Gu Yuehuai, but saw that she had a smile on her lips and didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
It seemed like she really just came over to say hello and had no other thoughts.
Song Jinan laughed at himself bitterly. What was he thinking? Knowing that Gu Yuehuai liked Yan Shaoyu, why should he struggle so hard? Would he have a chance if he rejected Bai Caiwei?
He lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of the strange throbbing and joy in his heart when he first met Gu Yuehuai. The feeling was very unfamiliar, but he did not dislike it. Instead, he felt a sense of fateful entanglement, and it was this feeling that prompted him to pay more attention to her.
Shi Bo spoke even harder, enunciating each word: "Good morning!"
Song Jinan bit the soft flesh on his cheek. He didn't want to be so stubborn, but he couldn't say anything to please Bai Caiwei.
"Haha, Secretary Shi, why are you forcing him to do anything? I didn't say anything weird." Bai Caiwei supported her chin, looked at Song Jinan who was trying hard to restrain himself, smiled, and seemed to have regained her stable emotions.
However, the next sentence made Song Jinan's face suddenly change.
Bai Caiwei said, "Comrade Song, I heard that you and Yan Shaoyu grew up together and are good friends?"
Gu Yuehuai raised her eyebrows slightly and blinked at Bai Caiwei. She already knew what the latter was going to say.
Shi Bo's expression changed slightly. Yan Shaoyu? Why did Bai Caiwei mention this person?
As Song Lin's secretary, he naturally knew more secrets than others. The Yan family was now a taboo and should not be mentioned in public, and Yan Shaoyu was even more of a restless bomb. Such a person would sooner or later die in his own arrogance.
Song Jinan pursed her lips and looked up at Bai Caiwei. A strange look flashed across her light brown eyes for a moment, but she quickly covered it up. Then she said in a low voice, "Why are you asking this?"
Bai Caiwei smiled and was about to speak when Gu Yuehuai said, "Comrade Bai, I came here in a hurry today and didn't know that this was your and Song Zhiqing's wedding. I didn't bring any gifts. Here, I wish you to be together forever and live together forever."
Her sudden interruption instantly attracted everyone's attention.
