Chapter 100 Engagement Banquet
That night, Leng Huaijin waited for Shen Weiyang at home for a long time but she didn't show up. He called her countless times but she didn't answer.
When he could no longer bear it and wanted to call someone to find her, Uncle Li called him and told him that the young lady was back.
Leng Huaijin immediately got out of bed to look for her. When he reached the door, he realized that he had forgotten about the wheelchair. He turned back and sat in the wheelchair before going to look for her.
"Weiyang, Weiyang, are you back?"
The door was locked, so he could only ask her from outside.
Shen Weiyang leaned against the door frame, her eyes red, and she took a deep breath to calm herself before opening the door to face him.
"What's up?"
Her voice was hoarse and she didn't look well.
If Murong Wanyu hadn't sent him a message telling him that she was safe tonight, he might have thought that the investor she was meeting had bullied her.
Seeing her like this, Leng Huaijin felt a little nervous, but he didn't know how to ask.
"Weiyang, what's wrong with you?"
After hesitating for a long time, he could only stammer out this question.
Shen Weiyang looked at him without any emotion and said, “Nothing, just a little tired and want to rest.”
"Leng Huaijin, please let me be alone for a while. I don't want to say a word now."
He might know.
She was in a bad mood tonight, largely because of him.
Leng Huaijin looked at her with complicated eyes and asked, "Weiyang, I don't want to hide anything between us anymore, I..."
“In that case,” Shen Weiyang interrupted him, “then tell me clearly after the old lady’s birthday banquet is over.”
After saying that, she closed the door again, isolating him from her own world.
Leng Huaijin stared at the door frame for a while. After returning to their bridal chamber, he called Murong Wanyu, but the call was unanswered.
She didn't answer the phone. Did she see Leng Huaichen?
——
"Miss Shen, I'm just a nobody. I've been driving for Boss Leng for many years, and my whole family is in Boss Leng's care. If it weren't for this, who would kill someone?"
"Look at this string of Buddhist beads in my hand. Ever since I did that to you, I've been feeling guilty, so I went to the temple to pray, hoping that your spirit in heaven would forgive me. Fortunately, you're blessed with great fortune, and nothing really happened."
"If you want to take revenge on me for what happened back then and want to put me in jail, I'm willing to accept the punishment, but I hope you can give me some time so I can settle my family and children and make sure Boss Leng never finds them again."
"Will Leng Huaijin still threaten you now? Didn't you already help him and leave him?"
"Didn't Mr. Leng tell you that he would tell you the truth about the car accident in a month?"
"I guess so. How do you know this?"
"Because President Leng has been looking for me everywhere recently, wanting me to be his scapegoat for reconciliation. Miss Shen, a person with a worthless life like me who did such a wrong thing should die. There is nothing to regret, but I must make sure that my parents and children are settled."
"What's your name? I'll verify that you are indeed Leng Huaijin's former driver. We'll talk about it in a month. If you are really threatened by Leng Huaijin using his parents and children, I will let you go."
······
"Help me check a driver named Li Gang and verify whether he used to be a driver for Leng Huaijin. Tell me the answer within five minutes."
"Boss, there is indeed a driver named Li Gang. He used to be a retired soldier. Later, his uncle died and asked him to return to the countryside to inherit the vineyard, so he resigned and returned home."
······
Shen Weiyang sat on the carpet in front of the bed, drinking the beer in her hand while recalling her conversation with the driver and her friend.
At this time last night, she was still lying in bed with the man, looking at the stars, waiting for him to give her an answer.
She didn't expect that today everything has changed, which has shaken her weak trust in him.
Leng Huaijin, what answer will you give me in a month?
After drinking the last bit of beer, she fell on the bed tiredly, looking at the night outside the screen window in confusion.
——
A month later, Mrs. Leng's birthday party was held as scheduled, and Luo Miao appeared in the banquet hall wearing a beautiful custom-made dress to help entertain the Leng family's guests.
The news of her and Leng Huaijin's engagement had already been spread by the Luo family.
At this time, she was acting like a hostess.
“Shen Weiyang, are you here to congratulate Huai Jin and me on our engagement?”
When he saw Shen Weiyang coming in with Gu Changting, Luo Miao proudly stepped forward and greeted him.
"I heard that you and Mr. Gu have been together for four years. When will you settle things?"
When she said this, Leng Huaijin was walking towards this side. When he heard her say this, his face suddenly became very ugly.
He stopped walking forward and stared at Shen Weiyang intently, wanting to see what this woman would say.
Without waiting for Shen Weiyang to speak, Gu Changting put his arm around Shen Weiyang's shoulders intimately, looked at Luo Miao coldly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Luo, I will definitely inform you after Weiyang and I have finalized the matter."
Shen Weiyang did not refute, nor did she push Gu Changting's hand away.
Leng Huaijin watched this scene, his eyes bloodshot with jealousy.
So in these four years, she and Gu Changting had indeed had a close relationship.
Even if he clarified what happened back then, she would still marry Gu Changting in the end.
Leng Huaijin clenched his fists and looked at Shen Weiyang with a gloomy look.
She said that day she went to meet investors, and after she came back, his attitude towards me was so cold. Did she also meet Gu Changting on the way, and what did they talk about, so his attitude towards me became cold again after that time?
Shen Weiyang also noticed Leng Huaijin's unfriendly look, but ignored it. After glancing at him indifferently, she followed Gu Changting to the other side.
“Shen Weiyang.”
Leng Huaijin immediately stepped forward and pulled her away from Gu Changting, looking at her angrily.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Weiyang shook off his hand and looked at him coldly: “I should be the one asking you what you mean.”
“Boss Leng, you are Miss Luo’s fiancé tonight. Do you think it’s appropriate to hold me like this?”
Leng Huaijin grabbed her wrist again and dragged her away.
There were too many guests here, and Shen Weiyang didn't want to attract onlookers, so she shook her head gently at Gu Changting, signaling him not to act rashly, and then followed Leng Huaijin into the house.
Luo Miao was so angry that his face turned blue. He was about to chase after him immediately, but when he saw that Gu Changting didn't react, he stopped and turned to Gu Changting and shouted angrily: "Gu Changting, are you still a man? Aren't you worried that your woman was taken away by another man?"
Gu Changting was no fool. He knew that she was afraid of being blamed by Leng Huaijin, so she wanted to drag him into the water.
"It's not me who's getting engaged today, why should I be so anxious?"
He sneered, then walked towards a few familiar friends without paying any attention to Luo Miao.
Luo Miao was so angry that he clenched his fists and didn't know what to do, when he suddenly saw a familiar person...
