Lin Sui didn't know how she got home. Qin Chen's last words echoed in her ears over and over again, piercing her heart and scarring her.
She seemed to have reached a dead end, unable to divorce Zhou Dang and unable to reconcile with Qin Chen.
Perhaps her life was over five years ago, but she just refused to give up. Thinking that Qin Chen was going to be engaged to Fang Zhiyou next Tuesday, she couldn't even breathe smoothly.
She called Cheng Yi and asked her if she had an invitation to Qin Chen's engagement ceremony.
"Are you crazy?!" Cheng Yi shouted on the other end of the phone.
"You're not going to make a scene, are you? I beg you, Sui Sui, you've tried to win Qin Chen back during this time. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Let's stop trying."
"You don't support me anymore, do you?"
Lin Sui's voice was so weak that it sounded like he was taking his last breath.
"I just don't support you doing anything you're not sure of. It's obvious that Qin Chen won't look back, so why bother risking your reputation?"
"I see."
Lin Sui hung up the phone, wondering who else could help her.
In a flash, Zhang Ziqi's face flashed through Lin Sui's mind.
Lin Sui found Zhang Ziqi's WeChat account, which he had added before they parted last time, and sent her two messages.
Lin Sui: Are you there?
Lin Sui: Has Qin Chen invited you to his engagement ceremony?
Fortunately, Zhang Ziqi is also a night owl and was still awake, so she quickly replied to the message.
Zhang Ziqi: No.
Zhang Ziqi: Oh shit, he’s getting engaged?
Lin Sui: ...
Zhang Ziqi: Wait, I’ll get you two.
After a while, Zhang Ziqi sent over a screenshot of the message history. Lin Sui clicked on it and found it was the chat history between Zhang Ziqi and Qin Chen.
Zhang Ziqi: I heard that the handsome guy is getting engaged?
Qin Chen: Yes, next Tuesday, you are welcome to watch the ceremony.
Zhang Ziqi: How can I go without an invitation?
Zhang Ziqi: Don’t you welcome me?
Qin Chen: Give me your address and I will send you two copies. Bring your family along.
Zhang Ziqi: Okay!
Lin Sui replied quickly.
Lin Sui: Thank you! If you think I'm embarrassing, you don't have to go with me!
Zhang Ziqi: Shame on you? Shame on you for what?
Zhang Ziqi: You're not going to cause a scene at the engagement party, are you?
Zhang Ziqi: Oh my gosh! I'm going to go see the fun! If I'm not there for this great gossip, I'll lose ten years of my life!
Lin Sui: ...
Soon it was Tuesday. In order to make the event more successful, Zhang Ziqi invited Lin Sui to her home in advance and dressed her up personally.
"Even if you want to rob a bride, you still have to have something decent to wear, right? Look at how you usually dress like a beggar. Who can you possibly appease?"
Lin Sui was sitting in Zhang Ziqi's huge dressing room, squinting her eyes as she let Zhang Ziqi draw her eyelashes. When she heard this, she twitched her lips speechlessly.
It doesn't look like a beggar...
"Here, look in the mirror and see how you look."
Lin Sui opened her eyes. The person in the mirror had fair skin and beautiful looks, but she didn't look like her at all.
"Isn't it a bit too grand? If you don't know, you might think I'm the one getting engaged today."
"We want it to be grand. It would be even better if you admitted your mistake. This means that you and Qin Chen are a better match!"
Lin Sui really didn't understand Zhang Ziqi's logic. Since the invitation was in her hands, she just let her do whatever she wanted.
Zhang Ziqi walked around the cloakroom several times and finally picked out clothes for Lin Sui.
"Look, how about this one?"
Lin Sui raised her eyes and saw Zhang Ziqi holding a pure white dress in her hand. She was really there to cause trouble, even choosing a white dress.
Lin Sui put it on reluctantly and walked out of the fitting room. Zhang Ziqi's eyes lit up.
"Not bad, not bad. Although not as young as Fang Zhiyou, it has its own unique flavor."
Lin Sui rolled her eyes. Did Zhang Ziqi really have any friends? Why didn't she like what he said?
Zhang Ziqi also changed into a red dress, and looked even more seductive than her. The two of them, one in red and one in white, would be mistaken for the top star of a nightclub if you didn't know them.
The Mini BMW arrived at the hotel for Qin Chen's engagement ceremony on time, and Zhang Ziqi touched his chest.
"Fuck, I'm so nervous. It's not like I'm the one ruining the place, so why should I be so nervous?"
"Maybe I was too anxious to watch the show."
Lin Sui was mending the knife quietly.
"Maybe!" Zhang Ziqi touched up her lipstick in the rearview mirror, sprayed some perfume, and finally pulled Lin Sui out of the car.
The ceremony venue was decorated in a warm and cozy atmosphere, filled with pink roses. At the check-in counter, each VIP was given a gift: a luxury skincare set.
Zhang Ziqi looked around the scene and shook his head.
"After all, she's a little girl, and pink everywhere is so tacky!"
Lin Sui's focus was not on this. She noticed that there were not many guests and guessed that Qin Chen and Fang Zhiyou probably only invited some close friends and relatives.
Zhang Ziqi also noticed this, because apart from her and Lin Sui, she didn't see any other college classmates at the scene.
"Fuck, what should I do? I'm a little embarrassed. Stay away from me and pretend you don't know me."
Lin Sui nodded speechlessly.
Soon the engagement ceremony began. Qin Chen and Fang Zhiyou walked onto the stage arm in arm, and cheers immediately erupted from the audience.
"The bride-to-be is so beautiful!"
Lin Sui looked up and saw that Fang Zhiyou was indeed very beautiful today. She was not wearing white, but a Chinese red cheongsam, with her hair tied behind her head, looking gentle and generous.
Probably to match the outfit, Qin Chen was also wearing a suit similar to a Zhongshan suit.
The host started to cheer and asked Qin Chen how much gift he gave Fang Zhi. Qin Chen lowered his head and said into the microphone, "Priceless."
There was thunderous applause, and then I realized that someone was covering their face with embarrassment.
The parents of both parties also took the stage. Fang Zhiyou's parents were obviously intellectuals. Fang Zhiyou's father placed Fang Zhiyou's hand in Qin Chen's palm and said into the microphone: "I am handing my precious daughter over to you."
Lin Sui vaguely saw his father.
He was older and rougher than Fang Zhiyou's father, and couldn't speak. It was estimated that in this situation, he could only look at her face timidly.
She and Qin Chen have been together for seven years. Her father only knows that she has a boyfriend, but he has never met him.
It’s not that I haven’t mentioned wanting to meet, but Lin Sui rejected it every time.
After a few times, he understood, so he worked hard to save up a dowry for Lin Sui.
She had never thought about whether she would walk into the wedding hall with Qin Chen if her father was still alive. Perhaps it was because she had done so many evil things that God took away the only person in the world who treated her unconditionally well.
Qin Chen's parents also came on stage. The two elders looked a little older than before. Lin Sui wondered if they would compare herself with Fang Zhiyou, and then be more satisfied with their current daughter-in-law?
