Chapter 115
Yu Xue fell heavily to the ground, her mind blank and her face dazed, except for the passion for eating melons that still lingered in the corners of her eyes. It was not until she felt a sharp pain in her knee that she gasped in pain, her facial features twisted uncontrollably, and tears flowed subconsciously. Her watery eyes subconsciously looked around, looking for someone she could rely on.
But he saw Park Wenbin looking at Gu Xuan with a worried look on his face, asking anxiously if he was scared.
Yu Xue looked at the two people who were close to each other, and there was an indelible strange feeling in her heart, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
I am Park Wenbin's girlfriend, why is she suddenly so concerned about Gu Xuan, as if she has completely forgotten about me.
And just now...
She was standing on Park Wenbin's right side. Regardless of her identity as his girlfriend or the more convenient position on the right side, she should have protected herself first. Why did she subconsciously go in the opposite direction to protect Gu Xuan?
Even if there's a possibility of recruiting the wrong person for protection, hasn't he noticed it yet? But... the difference between men and women is so huge, and you haven't noticed it even after all this time?
Yu Xue felt the pain in her knee, her heart shrank into a fragile ball, and tears fell in grievance.
Just when I was feeling sad, I felt a warm touch on my head.
Yu Xue looked up and saw her sister-in-law looking at her worriedly.
"Does it hurt?" Nan Tao asked worriedly.
Yu Xue felt even more aggrieved. She hugged Nan Tao's slender and soft waist and sobbed softly.
I don’t know why I suddenly felt so wronged, but I just felt so wronged and wanted to cry.
"Sister Taotao." Yu Xue was so sad that she didn't even call her sister-in-law. She just called her by the name that had always been following Nan Tao since she was a child.
Nan Tao touched Yu Xue's furry little head, then checked her injuries and concluded, "It's a bit swollen, but the bones and muscles are not injured."
Then, Nan Tao turned to Nan Bo and said, "Brother, help me carry Xiao Xue to the sofa."
Yu Xue was so scared that she quickly refused: "No, no, no, I, I can walk by myself."
Nan Tao looked at Yu Xue accusingly: "How can you walk on your own when you're injured like this?"
Yu Xue was still resisting. Park Wenbin, who was standing next to her, heard the noise of the argument and suddenly realized something. His face suddenly turned ugly. He quickly distanced himself from Gu Xuan and walked over to Yu Xue. Seeing that Yu Xue was injured, he blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry, Xue. I thought I was pulling you just now, but in my haste, I pulled the wrong person. It's all my fault."
Yu Xue remained silent.
Park Wenbin's heart was beating fast, and he was worried that he had revealed something in his haste. He quickly said, "It's all my fault. Let me carry you to sit on the sofa over there."
Yu Xue tilted her head to the side.
Obviously expressing resistance.
Park Wenbin was anxious, fearing that all his efforts over the past few years would go to waste, so he quickly shifted the blame to Gu Xuan, claiming that it was Gu Xuan who had stretched out his hand to block him, and he subconsciously thought it was Yu Xue, so he saved the wrong person. In addition to his words, he also took the opportunity to belittle Gu Xuan and deliberately drew a line between the two of them.
Yu Xue looked up at Park Wenbin, then at Gu Xuan.
The smile in Gu Xuan's eyes disappeared completely, his eyes were cold, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, even paler than Yu Xue, the injured person.
Yu Xue felt increasingly strange, but she couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
Gu Xuan looked at Yu Xue coldly and sneered, "You don't have to pretend to be kind." After that, he turned away, not forgetting his previous plan to deliberately approach Yu Xue.
Yu Xue was at a loss.
Park Wenbin soothed him, "He's always been like this, cold-blooded and selfish. Don't bother with him."
Yu Xue frowned slightly, feeling a little strange when she saw Park Wenbin saying such harsh words so naturally, as if the gentlemanly and gentle Park Wenbin she had been with over the past few years was just an illusion wearing a mask.
Park Wenbin said gently, "I'll carry you to the sofa to rest." After that, he bent down slightly and prepared to hug Yu Xuegong.
Yu Xue endured the pain in her knees, avoided Park Wenbin's movements, and leaned towards Nan Tao.
Nan Tao said, "No need. You should go and take care of Gu Xuan. I see he looks very unhappy. If he gets upset, it will be the end of him."
Park Wenbin's heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed his temper and said more gently, "He has nothing to do with me. Ah Xue is more important. Ah Xue has suffered such a serious injury, how can I leave?"
Nan Tao was surprised. "Really? I just saw you protecting Gu Xuan so skillfully. I thought you had forgotten that you had a girlfriend by your side."
Park Wenbin forced a smile and said, "How could that be?" Then he blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally protected the wrong person, Ah Xue wouldn't have been hurt. I understand why you misunderstood me. All the mistakes are my fault."
Nan Tao looked at Park Wenbin and clicked her tongue twice.
Park Wenbin's scalp was tingling, but he had to pretend to be calm. Finally, he couldn't help but avoid Nan Tao's gaze and turned to look at Yu Xue. His pair of gentle eyes were tender as water, as if there were thousands of words of guilt and self-blame in his heart.
Yu Xue couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lin Yiru's scream.
So my attention was immediately drawn there. Although my knees still hurt, my spirit was not broken. No matter how painful it was, I had to finish eating the hot melon on the scene.
"Wow, Miss Li, what did I do? Why did you hit me again?" Lin Yirou's eyes were filled with tears. Her silent crying made many men present feel pity for her. If we ignore Lin Yirou's red and swollen face, she would be even more perfect.
Li Qiuyu said impatiently: "Who asked you to seduce my fiancé?"
Lin Yirou said aggrievedly, "I didn't do that. How could you slander me... And you just pushed me too hard on purpose, and now you're hitting me, wuwuwu..."
Some of the men present looked at Li Qiuyu with condemnation, as if asking how a young lady could be so unruly.
Li Qiuyu looked down on the group of middle-aged, pot-bellied men with disdain. She took the handsome Gu Bai by the arm, then stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the face, boasting, "My fiancé is handsome, right? Hehe, he's mine alone."
Everyone present was stunned by Li Qiuyu's unusual train of thought. This, this, this... is too infuriating.
Lin Yirou was about to faint from anger.
Yu Xue was watching with great interest, her mouth wide open with laughter. She bit Nan Tao's ear, "Sister-in-law, I think she's going crazy. She didn't get this red even when she was slapped in the face. Now it's so red it's almost bleeding."
Nan Tao also smiled brightly and nodded, "Yes, it's too tragic. I almost can't bear it."
Little Yu Ze looked at his aunt who was standing there with a limp but still insisted on watching the fun, then looked at his mommy who was laughing heartily even though she said she couldn't bear it. He shook his head helplessly and said to Nan Bo like a little adult, "I feel like Mommy has been led astray by my aunt."
Nanbo: ???
This kid is so biased that he's almost as biased as the North Pole.
Even though he is Nan Tao's biological brother, he cannot say with a clear conscience that Nan Tao led Yu Xue astray.
Recalling the past and thinking about how the cute and well-behaved Yu Xue was led astray step by step by Nan Tao, Nan Bo's mouth twitched and he decided not to reveal the adults' dark history to the children.
Nan Tao was completely unaware that her dark history was almost exposed, and she and Yu Xue were still watching the bloody drama in front of them with relish.
After being completely crushed by Li Qiuyu, Lin Yirou looked at Gu Bai pitifully. Her tear-swollen eyes seemed to tell of countless love and grievances. It would be even more perfect if we ignored her red and swollen face.
Gu Bai felt a surge of tenderness in his heart when he was looked at, and a natural sense of chauvinism arose spontaneously.
With Nan Tao next to him, Gu Bai wanted to show his gentlemanly and gentle charm, so he stood in front of Lin Yirou, like a hero descending from the sky to save the princess in distress.
Gu Bai thought of Li Qiuyu's arrogance, unreasonableness, and willful behavior, and couldn't help but persuade her softly, "Qiuyu, why don't you just forget about it? She looks quite pitiful. Today's banquet is full of important guests invited by my parents. It's not good to continue like this. Let her leave first, and we can talk about compensation later."
After saying that, the two women looked at Gu Bai in disbelief at the same time.
Li Qiuyu looked incredulous, "What? You're just going to let her go like that?"
Lin Yirou couldn't believe it, Gu Bai actually let her leave?!
Gu Bai didn't realize that not only had he failed to be a good balancer, but he had also angered two women at the same time. He was feeling proud of his own ability to appease them and continued to coax them with soft words.
Nan Tao laughed so hard that she whispered to Yu Xue, "This is the fate of a warm-hearted man. He accidentally didn't hold the bowl level and the water spilled."
Yu Xue nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and asked with starry eyes in admiration, "Sister-in-law, how did you tell that?"
Nan Tao analyzed seriously, "Look, he told Li Qiuyu not to mind it. He was actually giving Li Qiuyu face as the main wife. But in reality, Li Qiuyu has a domineering personality. She either wants nothing or everything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such a scene. Gu Bai's earnest words just now will only make Li Qiuyu think that he let Lin Yirou leave on purpose. If you don't believe me, just look at Li Qiuyu. There's no smile in her eyes. She looks like she's smiling but not really smiling."
Yu Xue: "Wow, really, it seems like she's clenching her fists."
Nan Tao continued, "Look at Lin Yirou again. She's crying even harder and doesn't show any sign of wanting to leave."
Yu Xue was filled with questions: "Why? Gu Bai is protecting her and treating her well."
Nan Tao knocked on Yu Xue's head. "Since things have gotten so serious and there's no way to end it now, what future will there be if we admit defeat and quit now? Besides, Gu Bai keeps asking for compensation, which shows that he has accepted the blame, but he just changed it from public to private. This is also a way for Li Qiuyu to withdraw. But Lin Yirou is not a pushover, so she naturally won't accept this result. Otherwise, after making a scene today, she'll lose face, so she'll naturally have to hold on to the inner benefits."
Yu Xue didn't understand. "Gu Bai and Li Qiuyu come from similar backgrounds, and their marriage is a done deal. What's she trying to do?"
Nan Tao smiled and said, "So, there are many people who can't see their own background clearly and want to marry into a wealthy family. Of course, Gu Bai is not a good person either."
Yu Xue understood, "It's true that a turtle and a mung bean are a perfect match. People from the same family are not alike."
After the two of them finished speaking, the three people who were the focus of the gossip were still arguing.
Finally, Father Gu said angrily, "Alright, what's the point of making such a fuss? Take Miss Lin to the lounge first. We can talk after the banquet."
Lin Yirou breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Gu's father with autumn water in her eyes, then glared at Gu Bai sadly. With the help of the waiter, she left the hall and went to the lounge.
Li Qiuyu was unhappy, but when she saw that it was Gu's father who showed up, she had to swallow her anger for the time being and find a chance to vent it after the banquet.
After the farce ended briefly, Yu Xue was carried to the sofa by Park Wenbin.
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows and followed with a look of anticipation.
