Chapter 237 He Wei can't stand seeing you and Mo Chi being so affectionate.
The banquet hosted by the Song family proceeded as scheduled.
Qi Hang also received an invitation. He didn't want to go, but when he heard that Chu Rou was going, he thought about it and decided to go with her, just in case anything happened, so he could keep an eye on her.
He discovered that wherever Chu Rou was, something would always happen.
Chu Rou appeared in the banquet hall with two handsome men on either side of her, attracting a lot of attention.
These gazes included those of goodwill, those of envy, and those of resentment.
Deng Fei looked at Chu Rou with disdain, wondering if she would still be so glamorous when she left.
Song Miao pursed her lips as she looked at Mo Chi and Chu Rou beside him, feeling indignant. Why did Mo Chi have to marry an old woman?
Chu Rou felt an unfriendly gaze directed at her. She looked up and met Song Miao's sharp eyes.
Chu Rou didn't recognize Song Miao. She raised an eyebrow. The way this girl looked at her was like she was looking at a rival in love. She must be an admirer of Mo Chi.
She smiled at Song Miao, then looked up at Mo Chi with deep affection, "Mo Bao, give me a kiss."
Without a second's hesitation, Mo Chi lowered his head and kissed Chu Rou's lips before asking, "What's wrong, Rou Rou?"
"It's nothing," Chu Rou chuckled, then tiptoed and kissed Mo Chi. "I just wanted to give him a kiss."
"Can you two be a little more considerate? I'm still here!" Qi Hang said with a look of disgust, feeling extremely awkward standing next to him.
Chu Rou released Qi Hang's arm and pushed him away. "Then stay away and observe your surroundings. If you see a girl you like, I can help you get her contact information."
Qi Hang continued to follow behind Chu Rou, saying, "I don't like any of these women!"
Chu Rou glanced in Song Miao's direction again and found that she had disappeared.
Chu Rou found a seat and sat down, with Mo Chi and Qi Hang sandwiching her between them.
"Which one is the illegitimate daughter of the Song family?" Chu Rou craned her neck, searching the hall.
“They shouldn’t be here yet,” Qi Hang said. “They’ll be arriving with President Song. I’ve heard that President Song values this illegitimate daughter very much.”
“It’s like loving the house because of the dog,” Chu Rou said, turning her gaze away. “That’s the child he had with the woman he loved.”
After Chu Rou finished speaking, no one responded. She sensed that the atmosphere was a bit off. She looked up and saw He Wei and Deng Qian walking over together. She thought to herself: Damn!
Can't these two stay away from them? Why do they always insist on coming over?
Chu Rou didn't even look at He Wei. She stood up and greeted Deng Qian, "Hi! Deng Qian, you're here too."
With a smile, Deng Qian released He Wei's arm and took Chu Rou's hand. "Chu Rou, I'm so sorry about what happened at the wedding. I haven't had a chance to apologize to you yet."
"It's alright, I've almost forgotten about it. I'm used to those two old folks being difficult." Chu Rou didn't care that He Wei was still standing next to her. "On the contrary, you'll have to get along with those kinds of in-laws in the future. It'll be tough for you."
Deng Qian didn't expect Chu Rou to speak so directly, which seemed quite different from the Chu Rou she knew from He Wei. She glanced at He Wei and then smiled, "I won't make things difficult for you. He Wei has cut ties with them."
"Oh, that's great. It seems He Wei truly loves you." Chu Rou greeted Deng Qian in the calmest tone.
Deng Qian didn't know how to respond, but she quite liked Chu Rou's straightforward and unpretentious personality. She took out her phone from her handbag and said, "Chu Rou, how about we exchange contact information? We can go shopping together when we have time."
Chu Rou didn't dislike Deng Qian, so the two became friends.
He Wei stood next to Deng Qian, listening to their conversation with a blank expression, as if the topic of their discussion had nothing to do with him, but his gaze remained fixed on Chu Rou.
Mo Chi, unable to bear it any longer, stood up, pulled Chu Rou behind him, and said to Deng Qian, "If there's nothing else, take your husband and leave! If you stay any longer, his eyes will practically pop out of their sockets."
Deng Qian felt a little embarrassed, thinking to herself that Mo Chi and Chu Rou were really a couple, both very good at witty retorts.
He Wei ignored Mo Chi's gaze and words, and kept looking at Chu Rou. "Chu Rou, you can come to me anytime if you need help."
"She never needs your help!" Mo Chi was so angry at He Wei's stubbornness that he was practically spitting fire.
He Wei acted as if he hadn't heard, and pulled Deng Qian away.
Mo Chi closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Chu Rou was terrified. She quickly comforted Mo Chi, "Mo Bao, calm down. Don't take it to heart. He's not mentally stable."
"Mental instability?" Qi Hang, always eager for drama, said, "I think he's perfectly normal, and quite shrewd. Mo Chi is a bit too inexperienced for him."
"Xiao Hang, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chu Rou glared at Qi Hang. "Besides, I just like the young and tender Mo Chi."
Nothing Chu Rou said could heal Mo Chi's wounded heart. He said angrily, "I'm going for a walk. You stay here with Qi Hang and don't go anywhere."
"Mo Bao!" Chu Rou tried to call out to Mo Chi, but Mo Chi was walking too fast and she couldn't keep up in her high heels.
"Sis, come back and sit down, or your feet will hurt later." Qi Hang patted the seat next to him.
Chu Rou walked back and sat down angrily, twisting Qi Hang's arm hard. "Who told you to add fuel to the fire? Don't you know Mo Chi is petty?"
“He cares most about He Wei. Every time He Wei is around, I am the one who suffers. It’s really wicked of him. I even suspect that He Wei is doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to hurt me.”
Chu Rou really used force. Qi Hang's eye twitched. He felt that his arm must have been bruised.
“That He Wei did it on purpose. He can’t stand seeing you and Mo Chi being so affectionate. He hasn’t given up on you.”
Chu Rou let go of his hand. "You haven't given up on me? How could that be? He's already married."
"He's been staring at you ever since he came over, didn't you notice?"
Chu Rou shook her head, "I didn't even look at him, how would I know he was looking at me!"
Qi Hang glanced at Chu Rou sideways, "Although I don't like Mo Chi very much, compared to He Wei, Mo Chi is still more suitable for you. He Wei looks a bit sinister, and he's already married. Even if he gets divorced, he'll still be a second-time bride."
"Am I crazy to go back to an old flame?" Chu Rou didn't understand Qi Hang's words at all. "No matter what, I would choose Mo Chi. Mo Chi is rich, good-looking, talented, has good character, is upright, sunny, and young."
Qi Hang curled his lips. He agreed with most of it, but he didn't see the upright and sunny qualities in Mo Chi.
At this moment, a commotion broke out in the hall as President Song and his illegitimate daughter appeared.
Chu Rou stood up and looked over, her eyes widening. She quickly called out to Qi Hang, "Xiao Hang, take a look at that illegitimate daughter. Am I seeing things?"
