Chapter 031 Chapter 31

Chapter 31 (Exclusively published by Jinjiang)

The Sang family was not invited, but Sang Fang's father was the heir of a medical family, so his entire family was invited.

These days, Sang Ya has been trying to convince Sang Fang's mother and repeatedly assured her that she only came to apologize to Xie Zhiyu and would definitely not cause any trouble to them.

Under the double attack of her sobbing and crying, Sang Fang's mother Sang Meixin softened and brought the two of them to the banquet. However, she was still worried about her, so she asked Sang Fang to take good care of her aunt.

Sang Fang was very reluctant, but he had no choice; he could not refuse his mother's request.

Sang Ya held Sang Fang's hand and looked around. She had attended such banquets with Xie Zhiyu many times before and was not nervous at all.

Apology was secondary, she came to see Gu Yeliang.

Sang Ya looked around but didn't find Gu Yeliang. Instead, she spotted Xie Zhiyu. She frowned unconsciously. Xie Zhiyu nodded slightly and then looked away expressionlessly.

Sang Ya's smile froze. She thought they could still be friends after the breakup. She wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Sang Fang in time.

"Aunt, there are a lot of people here." Sang Fang followed her gaze and found Xie Zhiyu and... Shen Baili.

He and his friend made eye contact as a greeting, and then they looked away in tacit understanding.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, they were not fit to go forward, especially Sang Ya.

If she apologized to Xie Zhiyu in public, then all of Grandpa's previous arrangements would be in vain, and the relationship between the Sang and Xie families would only get worse.

After all, for the sake of Mr. Sang's face, the Xie family found a reason after both parties came into contact and felt that the marriage was inappropriate, and cancelled the engagement between the two families. Although it was not very friendly to the woman, it was much better than the reputation of having an affair and an illegitimate child.

Marriages between wealthy families place great emphasis on reputation.

Old Master Sang doesn't think that Gu Yeliang would truly care about Sang Ya's well-being. He won't allow his most beloved granddaughter to marry a cunning illegitimate child.

Although the Sang family is the second tier of wealthy families and cannot compare to the Meng, Xie, and Lu families, they can live a good life even if they don't get married thanks to their considerable inheritance.

Old Master Sang has finally seen clearly that Sang Ya cannot get married before she regains her senses, otherwise she will be torn apart and schemed against until nothing is left.

There are many disputes and scheming people in wealthy families, and Sang Ya cannot defeat them. People like Xie Zhiyu who have a strong sense of responsibility, value their promises and care about their families are even rarer, and the Xie family has a clean and upright family tradition.

It's a pity that Sang Ya failed to appreciate Grandpa Sang's good intentions. Her attendance at the banquet was tacitly approved by Grandpa Sang, who wanted to ease the relationship between the two families.

Sang Ya was puzzled: "What's wrong? I just wanted to say hello to Brother Xie."

Sang Fang: "Aunt, please come with us first and say hello to my dad's friends before you go over."

If possible, it would be better to have a friendly conversation with the other party in public, but didn’t you see that Xie Zhiyu didn’t want to pay attention to you?

Is there any difference between going there at this point and bringing shame upon oneself?

Sang Ya was brought over by their family, so instead of having to accept being laughed at, they would be better off finding a chance to contact Xie Zhiyu in private.

Sang Fang was tired of her aunt's inability to read people's expressions, but fortunately she listened to her advice.

"All right."

She was a little disappointed that Gu Yeliang had not arrived yet.

The moment Sang Ya appeared at the door, many people in the banquet hall looked between her and Xie Zhiyu unconsciously.

Sang Ya was unaware of this and happily followed Sang Fang around, looking for Gu Yeliang.

Xie Zhiyu seemed to deliberately ignore Sang Ya and led Shen Baili through the noisy crowd, her thoughts still continuing.

[Sang Ya has broken off her engagement with her eldest brother, so there is no reason for her and the second scumbag to frame him, right?]

[No, the brain circuits of crazy men and women are different from those of ordinary people. Who knows if they will suddenly have a seizure? I still have to keep an eye on them.]

[What was the name of the waiter that Gu Yeliang hired?]

[In fact, everyone in the circle knows it well. How can a rich heir use force on a waiter? Everyone knows that the eldest brother was plotted, but they just see it as a joke and take the opportunity to take a share of the Xie family's profits...]

[I will protect my big brother!]

[Go away, monsters and ghosts! Go away, monsters and ghosts! Go away, monsters and ghosts! Go away...]

Shen Baili's thoughts were very rich, and the news she brought was equally shocking.

Xie Zhiyu's ears moved slightly, and he kept all her thoughts in mind. He did not feel afraid, but instead reminded himself to be more cautious.

Will Gu Yeliang come too?

He remembered that the Gu family was not on the invitation list.

How interesting, Sang Ya wasn't on the invitation list either.

…

Xie Zhiyu brought Shen Baili and soon came to Shen Wan's side.

A partner came over to say hello to Xie Zhiyu. He said hello to both of them and went to socialize.

Shen Wan asked gently, "Are you having fun playing with your classmates?"

Shen Baili smiled and replied: "I am very happy. I have made a lot of new friends."

Shen Wan has always been worried that Shen Baili was being wronged outside. They are too far away from the wealthy families. Even if Xie Chengyue resists a lot, there will always be all kinds of looks.

She had long been accustomed to such looks, but her daughter was too young and she was worried that she would be wronged when no one was watching.

"We are really great. We made new friends so quickly."

"Take him home some other day and introduce him to mom?" Shen Wan was a little worried.

Shen Baili: "Let's wait and see. Our relationship is not that good yet."

Shen Wan didn't intervene: "Okay, if we get to this point someday, tell Mom."

"Mom welcomes your friends to visit anytime."

Shen Baili leaned on Shen Wan's shoulder: "Mom, you are so kind."

Shen Wan: "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something?"

Shen Baili: "Okay, I want to eat macarons.

"Mom, what do you want to eat?"

Shen Wan looked at her with a smile and said playfully, "Eat some bread to fill your stomach?"

…

You can't eat too much at the buffet at the banquet. After all, the ladies are wearing tight dresses and their bulging bellies will affect their appearance.

Shen Baili was fine; her skirt wasn't tight, so she wasn't that concerned about what she ate.

Shen Wan ate a few bites and stopped.

"I can eat a big bowl of noodles when I get home," she said softly.

"I'll have a big bowl of noodles with you." Shen Baili felt that desserts could not replace a full meal.

"OK."

…

Xie Liuzheng chatted with the little sisters. They were not just fake sisters, but good friends who grew up together.

Several people spontaneously skipped the topic of divorce.

Unlike Xie Liuzheng's free love, most of these people choose to marry into wealthy families.

Born into large families, they saw through people's hearts too early and had several passionate romances before marriage. However, when faced with huge amounts of wealth, they rationally chose the latter.

They were relieved that Xie Liuzheng had a happy marriage, but they never expected that more than ten years later, Duan Xing would make such a heinous mistake.

Damn scumbag!

If you want to curse a scumbag or vent your emotions, it’s enough to vent them in private with good friends. It’s not appropriate to say them in a banquet hall where there are many people and gossips. Who knows, someone might be secretly trying to find out the news in some corner.

They would not give outsiders the opportunity to find a chance to ridicule Xie Liuzheng.

"Are you getting along well with your sister-in-law?" Lu Rui was very concerned about her.

Xie Liuzheng: "Yes, my sister-in-law is very nice. I will introduce her to you later."

"And my little niece, she's so cute." The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Lu Rui: "Okay, it seems like you guys get along well."

Xie Liuzheng: "Yeah, yeah! We have a lot of common topics, just like a family."

Lu Rui was surprised: "Like family?"

Xie Liuzheng shook his head, his eyes smiling: "No, we are originally a family."

Lu Rui took a sip of red wine and said, "I am even more curious about how you get along with each other."

It is not easy to get into Xie Liuzheng's heart.

She was quite curious about what methods Shen Wan and Shen Baili used to gain such praise from Xie Liuzheng.

Xie Liuzheng smiled and said, "You'll know in a moment."

She is looking forward to introducing her good friend to her family.

…

Gu Yeliang Jing quietly appeared in the banquet hall. He paid a lot of money to let the boss bring him here.

As a foil, no one cared about his appearance.

He looked around, but neither saw Xie Zhiyu nor found Sang Ya.

At this moment, Sang Ya finally found an opportunity and blocked Xie Zhiyu in an unnoticed corner.

She hadn't seen Xie Zhiyu for a long time and just glanced at him from a distance.

When she talked face to face, Sang Ya felt nervous for no reason.

"Brother Xie, I want to apologize to you."
