Chapter 46
Chi Qi shook An Xun's shoulders vigorously, "What else have you seen? Tell me everything!"
An Xun raised his eyebrows, "You want to know so much?"
Chi Qi couldn't wait, "Of course, don't hide it, just tell me!" After a pause, he added, "Choose someone we both know to tell the news."
This way you feel involved!
Everyone you know? An Xun thought for a while, then pointed to the right front of the two of them, "Over there, it's the live version, take a look."
There really is some truth to this, that’s great, he is saved!
Chi Qi looked in that direction excitedly and saw a familiar figure. After a few seconds of hesitation, he recognized it as Tao Jiaji.
Tao Jiaji didn't notice that someone was watching him. He secretly picked a few flowers from the venue, then came in front of Gu Che and took them out to show him like a treasure.
He said a few words and successfully made Gu Che's eyes curl up.
Tao Jiaji saw that he smiled and was very happy from the bottom of her heart. She happily wanted to make a wreath for him.
“…”
A few words that he had finally forgotten popped up in Chi Qi's mind.
——Sister-in-law, open the door. I am me...
stop! Don’t think about it anymore!
He said madly: "I'm from Lei Orthopedics, there's no need to tell me this."
"Speechless. I told you but you're unhappy again." An Xun rolled his eyes, not wanting to tolerate him at all. He turned around and sat back in the rest area.
Chi Qi continued to pester her, asking relentlessly, "Tell me something else."
An Xun was unmoved and rejected him coldly, "No, I'm busy."
"What are you busy with?"
An Xun glanced at him and said, "Busy smiling and crying, busy chasing shooting stars in the sky."
“…”
It's too much to use what he once said to stop him!
Chi Qi snorted twice and unilaterally announced that he would not talk to An Xun anymore.
His ears were finally quiet and An Xun felt relaxed and at ease. He unlocked his phone with his fingerprint, opened the memo, and found the most recent content.
I scrolled to the end, ticked a box, and typed out a paragraph of text.
*
Upstairs, the door was pushed open.
Jiang Xici thought it was Jiang's mother who had returned, so she quickly calmed herself down, tried to pretend to be happy and turned around. However, the corners of her lips froze the moment she saw Qing coming.
All the thoughts in her mind finally turned into a question, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I have to be there when you get engaged."
Liang You leaned against the door frame, complex emotions surging in her eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, she walked behind Jiang Xici, picked up the hairpin and prepared to tie her hair, praising her, "The dress is very beautiful."
The soft hair quickly slipped through his hands, leaving no trace and unable to be retained. Liang You skillfully rolled up her hair, "Why are you not smiling? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Xici tensed her back and curled her fingers silently, "No, I'm very happy."
Liang You sneered, "It's okay to fool others, but don't fool yourself."
Her words were as sharp as ever, but Jiang Xici was in no mood to refute her.
"You know, no one blames you, and I have never blamed you. It is you who has been living in guilt." Liang You's smile turned cold. "If you really want to make it up to me, you shouldn't reject me."
"We can't."
Hearing the rejection in her words, Liang You raised his eyelids slightly, "Since you can agree to marry him, then why do we..."
Jiang Xici interrupted her horrified words, "You are crazy."
After the conversation, the two looked at each other, and their eyes were only on each other.
In stark contrast to the cheerful atmosphere downstairs, the air in this enclosed space seemed to become heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Jiang Xici lowered her head and bit her lip. "Grandpa is old and can't stand the stimulation."
The biological granddaughter and the fake granddaughter are together. How will others view the Jiang family if this gets out? Gossip and finger-pointing are inevitable.
Looking away, Jiang Xici calmed down a bit, "Besides, Mom and Dad won't agree to this. It's very cruel to them."
Liang You's voice was filled with displeasure, "Isn't it cruel for you to do this to me?"
Jiang Xici ignored the stinging pain in her heart and continued, "I'm sorry, but the wrong relationship shouldn't continue. You are still young, and you will meet someone better in the future."
At this moment, the only thing she could be thankful for was that Liang You’s feelings for her might not be that deep, and she could stop the loss in time.
After a moment's silence, Liang You finally said nothing more. He just said, "I hope you won't regret your hasty choice." Then he turned and left.
She walked out of the door, stood at the handrail on the second floor, and looked down calmly with a dim gaze.

The exquisite floral arrangement and the bright lights complemented each other. Accompanied by the melodious sound of violin, the engagement banquet officially began, and Song's father spoke joyfully on the stage.
The Chi family’s seats are quite close to the front, so they can watch the ceremony stage from the front.
Chi Qi found the corresponding seat and sat down. On his left and right were An Xun and Chi Sulu. He felt very safe being sandwiched in the middle.
Mr. and Mrs. Chi were sipping tea leisurely nearby.
Soon, Song's father finished his speech, and Jiang Xici took Jiang's father's hand and walked to the stage, while Song Muchi pushed Song Ruoyao up from the other side.
Song Ruoyao was wearing a white suit today, and his smile was bright from the heart. He handed the bouquet of flowers that symbolized happiness to Jiang Xici.
The two families seemed to be having a great time, except for Liang You, who could not hide the disgust in her eyes.
Chi Qi keenly noticed this subtle abnormality and frowned slightly, feeling that he had overlooked something in the plot.
The process proceeds in an orderly manner and advances step by step according to plan.
It was not until the staff pushed the cake cart in that Chi Qi realized that the engagement ceremony was almost over.
It’s already this late, why hasn’t Jian Qi appeared yet?
He repeatedly looked at the door behind him, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. Instead, he repeatedly met the eyes of Xie Mu in the back row.
Xie Mu seemed to have been paying attention to him. When he turned his head, he raised his lips and smiled at him.
He had a pretty good smile and Chi Qi was briefly mesmerized by him.
After a few seconds, he sobered up from the beauty.
[No, what are you laughing at? The Song family and the Jiang family are engaged, and you are smiling there. What are you laughing at? What's so funny? 】
The continuous complaints made Xie Mu unable to laugh anymore, "..."
An Xun turned his head and said thoughtfully: "You seem very anxious."
Chi Qi turned his face away cautiously.
[Can you not be anxious?] If Jian Qi doesn't come to mess things up, he will be late! How can I have such a big melon? Could it be that it’s gone? 】
That won’t do!
The Chi family members could not accept this possibility. They came here with great difficulty, not for the gift money. If they could not have the melon, they would regret it for the rest of their lives!
As time passed, the moods of several people fluctuated like the rough sea, without a moment's peace.
It’s really frustrating!
Looking at the stands again, most of the cake had been eaten.
Chi Qi shouted anxiously.
[Cut slowly!] 】
All of a sudden, several people from the Chi family stared at the cake knife in the staff member's hand, as if they could slow down his movements with their minds.
The staff member who inexplicably received four scorching gazes started shaking and almost cut the cake crookedly.
The staff member looked calm on the surface, but was roaring in his heart, "Don't look at me, it's really annoying, okay?"
No matter how reluctant we were, the cake was still cut.
Then comes the penultimate part, where the parents of both families start drinking engagement tea. After they finish drinking the tea offered by the newlyweds, the engagement banquet comes to an end.
[Ahhhhh it’s really too late! Urgent, urgent, urgent, I am the urgent king! 】
Chi Qi had no other choice but to put his hopes in God.
He clasped his hands together and made a sincere wish.
[This believer is praying here, hoping that Jian Qi can arrive in time. If his wish comes true, from now on, I will have a combination of meat and vegetables for three meals a day, and I will never break my promise. God and earth, please bless me to eat the melon, okay! 】
The Chi family: "..."
How can you achieve your wish if you don't want to suffer any loss? ?
[Sincerity is the key to success. I believe that Bodhisattva will bless me! 】
The Bodhisattva seemed to have really heard his prayer.
Because the next second——
Squeak.
There was a noise coming from the door of the banquet hall. The sudden noise was extremely harsh at the engagement party and attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door.
A thin young man with a backpack and wearing an ordinary white T-shirt walked in. It was Jian Qi.
Chi Qi opened his eyes wide with excitement, his joy beyond words.
[Wow, finally!] I finally waited for it! 】
In stark contrast to his good mood, Song Ruoyao on the stage was stunned and the smile froze on his face.
Why is Jian Qi here?
The importance of this engagement party to him was self-evident. He had taken great pains to prepare for it for a long time, but in order to avoid any accidents, he had never invited Jian Qi.
Things were getting out of control, and Song Ruoyao had a bad feeling. He clenched his fists and told himself to stay calm.
The other guests had different looks on their faces, and asked in whispers, "Who is he?"
Unlike the Jiang family, the Song family did not publicly acknowledge Jian Qi, and the few people who recognized Jian Qi's identity had complex emotions in their eyes.
Jian Qi straightened his back and walked across the carpet covered with flowers.
He came to the place where everyone's attention was focused and stood calmly in front of the Song family.
Song Muchi's eyes were full of vigilance, and he frowned and scolded, "It's Ayao's engagement party, don't make trouble, leave now."
Jian Qi ignored his words and said, "Then you are wronging me. I came here to give Song Ruoyao a gift."
That's what they said, but it's obvious that they have bad intentions.
The lively atmosphere at the scene suddenly cooled down, and the guests in the audience looked at each other. If you had told them earlier that someone would come to ruin the party, they wouldn't be so sleepy.
Chi Sulu asked curiously, "What gift?"
Mr. and Mrs. Chi were also thinking about this problem.
"There must be something special in his schoolbag." Chi Sulu used his imagination to the fullest. "Could it be an umbrella?"
Chi Qi, who knew the answer in advance, was puzzled and thought her guess was outrageous, "Why an umbrella? Is it related to the engagement party?"
An Xun acted as an interpreter at the right time, "If you don't raise your head, it will be a sunny day."
Chi Qi twitched his lips when he reacted. This... was not very offensive but extremely insulting.
Song's mother stepped forward and took Jian Qi's hand, playing the family card, "Xiao Qi, stop messing around. You are going to attend A Yao's wedding, why didn't you tell mom and dad in advance so that we can send a driver to pick you up."
Jian Qi rudely shook off her arm and said, "Don't worry, I'll leave after I give you the gift."
Make sure you don't stay a second longer.
Below the stage, Zhou Xu stared at Jian Qi with a fierce look in his eyes, wanting to rush out to "do what is right", but was held down by Zhou's mother, who scolded him in a low voice, "This matter has nothing to do with you, just sit here." ”
Zhou Xu shouted, "Mom."
Mother Zhou said calmly: "I'll count to three."
Zhou Xu immediately sat back reluctantly. No matter how arrogant he was outside, he obeyed his mother's words and dared not disobey.
The process of the wedding banquet was disrupted, and Jiang's mother stepped in to try to ease the awkwardness, "We are all family, come here, let's take a photo together."
"No need. After the gifts are delivered, you probably won't be in the mood to take pictures."
Jian Qi refused to listen and was determined to give the gift.
At this time, the security guard came over, and said, "Sir, please leave immediately, otherwise we will use force."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became tense and domineering again.
The guests were talking about it.
"Who called security?"
"Fight quickly, fight!"
"The real young master tears up the fake young master with his bare hands. I love this script!"
Chi Qi was impatient, knowing full well that the villain dies because of talking too much.
[Hey, Jian Qi, stop talking nonsense. 321, just show me the evidence and slap me in the face! 】
The Chi family nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
Yes, that's right! Don't waste time talking to them. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can go home.
The deadlock was broken by Liang You. She raised her hand to stop the security guard and said, "Jian Qi is my invited guest."
After these words were spoken, there was another uproar.
"Oh my god, this direction is exciting!"
"Gift, gift, I want to see the gift!"
“It’s worth coming here today.”
Chi Qi cried out, then suddenly realized.
【I see! ! ! 】
What do you understand?
Chi Sulu didn't expect that eating a melon would be so full of twists and turns. She was like the donkey with the carrot in front of her. She could see it but couldn't eat it, so she could only worry.
[I was wondering before, how Jian Qi projected the video onto the big screen... Turns out he had help from an insider, now it makes sense why he wasn't panicking. 】
[Because Liang You also didn't want the engagement party to be a success, the two sides reached a consensus and joined forces to do something.
That's it. I'll just wait for the melon to come. 】
After Chi Qi came to a conclusion, he let out a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.
The reporters with a keen sense of smell quietly raised their cameras, and their intuition told them that there would be big revelations coming next.
Sure enough, the big screen lit up and started playing a video without any warning.
The moment he watched the content being played, Song Ruoyao could no longer maintain his gentle expression, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and his face turned pale.
