Chapter 280: Feelings of Resentment
Chen Weiwei's expression, which had just warmed up and was faintly proud and happy, finally turned pale again at this moment.
"Brother Yanchuan...what are you doing...?"
Why didn't you speak up for her?
Chen Weiwei was still muttering in disbelief and wanted to go forward, but suddenly she met Xie Yanchuan's deep eyes.
It is cold and deep, like a bottomless pool. Just one glance at it can make people feel a wave of fear that makes their scalp tingle.
It's like being stared at by a poisonous snake, which makes people shudder.
This also caused the words that were about to come out of Chen Weiwei's mouth to get stuck in her throat.
At this moment, she finally realized that Xie Yanchuan had no intention of considering their "old relationship" at all.
No, to put it another way, maybe Xie Yanchuan didn't remember anything related to her at all.
All of this from the beginning to the end was just her own wishful thinking.
Finally realizing this, the last line of defense in Chen Weiwei's heart finally collapsed.
Her slender figure swayed uncontrollably, and finally she looked at her father for help.
She absolutely cannot apologize for this.
Not to mention the losses this will cause to the Chen family.
If this matter were to be spread by someone with ulterior motives, where would she, the daughter of the Chen family, maintain her dignity? Would she still be able to stay in the entertainment industry?
"this……"
Chen Youshu, who received his daughter's gaze, was also embarrassed for a moment.
Finally, the man turned his gaze to the old man behind him, thinking that since Xie Yanchuan and the other man were guests invited by Chen Jiu, he should be able to mediate and put the matter behind him.
After all, no matter what, Chen Jiu is a member of their Chen family, and Weiwei has some blood relationship with him. It is impossible for him to turn his elbows outward and help outsiders, right?
Chen Youshu thought so, but the next second, Chen Jiu's reaction surprised him.
Seeing that the old man just glanced at him and Chen Weiwei calmly, he quickly retracted his gaze and said, "After all, it's Weiwei who is wrong in this matter. Let's do as Patriarch Xie says."
"Having her apologize is like putting an end to this matter."
"Grandpa Chen, Old Chen... I...!"
Hearing Chen Jiu's words, Chen Weiwei's already pale face instantly became even uglier.
But now that things have come to this, it is obvious that no one can help her anymore.
Chen Youshu also heard Chen Jiu's unexpected answer and looked a little surprised.
But he is the head of the family after all, and his pattern and thinking are much more decent than Chen Weiwei.
However, after a moment of being stunned, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and the expression he looked at Jiang Wanning was somewhat inquiring.
The fact that an old man like Chen Jiu, who was about to retire from the world, could show such an attitude towards him meant that the other party's identity was probably even more important than he currently knew.
But what exactly it was, was unknown to Chen Youshu at the moment. He only guessed that it might be related to those people back then...
However, no matter how much Chen Youshu thought about it, people like them who were so cunning would never show it on their faces.
At this moment, after he saw Chen Jiu finish his words, he also followed the other party's attitude and quickly called Chen Weiwei over to Jiang Wanning.
"Did you hear everything? You rebellious girl, why don't you apologize to our distinguished guest! This matter can be put to rest!"
Chen Weiwei was obviously frightened at this time.
Just now, she had thought that Jiang Wanning's identity might be noble, but she had never expected that it would reach such a point.
Not only did Xie Yanchuan stand by her and help her, but even Chen Jiu, an elder who was highly respected in their entire family, had to speak up for her.
So what kind of terrifying existence did she accidentally provoke just now?
No wonder she was able to remain so calm in the face of her provocation just now. It turned out that from the beginning to the end, the person who acted like a clown was actually herself?!
Chen Weiwei's body was shaky. After a while, she finally apologized to Jiang Wanning under Chen Youshu's urging: "I'm... sorry."
Over the years, Chen Weiwei has been accustomed to being arrogant by relying on the power of the Chen family and her own status. This is the first time that she has been forced to apologize by someone like today. For a moment, her delicate face turned red.
At this moment, the crowd gathered around the banquet hall and let out suppressed cries of shock.
"Oh my god? Did I see and hear it right? Was this really something Chen Weiwei did?"
"I never thought that even a girl as proud as her would be trampled underfoot one day."
"Who is this person? Why is even Mr. Jiu speaking up for her? I've never heard of such a person in Beijing before!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, there are so many people you haven't heard of. It can only be said that there are always higher mountains than the other!"
"Chen Weiwei often walks by the river and has offended many people. Now she has finally suffered a big blow!"
“…”
At this moment, the crowd's voices were heard, either sympathizing with or discussing Chen Weiwei, but because she was still present, no one dared to make too much noise.
But even so, everyone tried their best to suppress their voices, and at this moment the expression on Chen Weiwei's face was still alternating between blue and red, showing that she was embarrassed.
After she apologized, she felt so ashamed that she couldn't wait to turn around and leave the scene.
But what she didn't expect was that Xie Yanchuan didn't intend to let her go so easily.
"Miss Chen's apology is a bit insincere, isn't it?"
"Is this the Chen family's upbringing? And how they treat guests?"
The man's gentle voice came from behind.
This voice that once fascinated Chen Weiwei easily stopped her from escaping, but also made her feel a sense of overwhelming fear from the bottom of her heart.
It was not until this moment that she finally realized the fact that the person who was once described by others as a demon was actually very difficult to get along with.
As for Chen Youshu, since he had already come this far, he naturally wouldn't miss another chance. He quickly winked at his daughter and urged her to go and apologize to Jiang Wanning solemnly.
Chen Weiwei met her father's gaze.
It also evolved from disbelief at the beginning to numbness later.
It was at this time that Chen Weiwei finally figured it out. Although her father seemed to be spoiling her, if she was compared with the Chen family, she was just like a speck of dust in that era and could be abandoned at any time.
After finally figuring this out, Chen Weiwei's body shook uncontrollably again. When she looked at Jiang Wanning again, her eyes were filled with fear and regret, and...
Some resentment that she herself was not aware of.
