It was because I raised the question that I gained Xia Wei's attention.
His own family also looked up to the Xia family, so there was only benefit in pleasing Xia Wei.
So Liu Li said, "Xia Yunxi, stop acting. Who in this industry doesn't know what you're like?"
After Liu Li finished speaking, she slapped Xia Yunxi's nose without any hesitation and moved away from her.
Lin Qiuran, who had been restrained by Xia Yunxi in the beginning, sneered and said in a coquettish voice, "Some people are just thick-skinned. It's innate, it emanates from their bones. What's the point of arguing? Okay, everyone, disperse quickly, otherwise you'll be stuck here and get tainted by bad luck."
When Lin Qiuran shouted, the daughters of wealthy families who had gathered together really dispersed in groups of three or two.
It’s like watching a play, and even after it ends, you still feel unsatisfied.
Xia Yunxi watched all this coldly, without stopping it or making a fuss.
After everyone left, Xia Wei walked up to Xia Yunxi with a proud smile on her face: "My sister, it seems that they don't believe you."
The tone is so regrettable.
Xia Yunxi's expression was calm, her eyes lightly fixed on Xia Wei's face. This was an expected scene, and she didn't want to change it much.
For five long years, rumors, even if they are groundless, will always take root in people's minds over time.
Xia Yunxi said: "I hope you can keep acting like this, my sister."
"Don't worry about that, sister. After all, only those who win the hearts of the people can be trusted, right?" After successfully pulling Xia Yunxi to act out a joke, Xia Wei turned around contentedly, picked up her skirt and left.
She still had to prepare for the next matters. She had waited for five years before finally waiting for this engagement party.
She will definitely be the center of attention today.
Xia Yunxi looked at Xia Wei's back as she left, and she really didn't feel that angry.
Sarcasm, ridicule, and deliberate humiliation... it seemed like none of these could hurt her. Sure enough, only after going through certain things would her heart truly change, becoming indestructible.
The banquet went on quickly.
Xia Yunxi held a glass of champagne in her hand and found a corner to stand. Her clear eyes looked at the lights on the stage. The host relaxed the atmosphere and invited the parents of both families to come on stage.
Xia Yunxi had never met Zhao Rui's parents. After all, they had just started dating when Xia Wei intervened.
He doesn't look very old at this moment.
But he also has the aspects that a middle-aged man should have!
However, when Zhao's mother and Bai Fangzhen stood together, the gap between them was still clearly exposed.
Bai Fangzhen is younger after all, and her beauty is there. Even in her middle age, she still has the same charm as before.
There was a noise beside her, and Xia Yunxi turned her head to look, and saw the middle-aged man that Xia Chenghai had just introduced, standing next to her with a glass of wine.
Xia Yunxi frowned slightly, and the man turned around and said, "Miss Xia, that's your sister's engagement party, aren't you going to the front?"
"Mr. Wang, hasn't you heard of her? Is she a stepsister?" Xia Yunxi said lightly.
"Oh?" The man became interested. "Then who is Mr. Xia's wife?"
"Stepmother."
Mr. Wang laughed. "No wonder you look so young! I was wondering, your mother is so young, when did she give birth to you two beautiful sisters?"
Xia Yunxi frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Her family had already exhausted her expectations of family affection, but she came here today specifically to give Xia Wei a big gift, otherwise she would not have come to deal with people and things that obviously had no good intentions towards her.
"Miss Xia, after the banquet is over, would it be convenient for us to have afternoon tea together?"
Xia Yunxi ignored the man, but that didn't mean he would let her go.
Xia Yunxi turned to look at Mr. Wang and said directly, "I'm sorry, I think you may have misunderstood. My father's wishes do not represent mine."
After saying this, she turned around and went to the bathroom.
Xia Yunxi didn't notice that after she left, Mr. Wang's gaze was still following her.
Only after he could no longer see it did he look away in disappointment.
At this moment on the stage, the host was telling the story of the two newlyweds' long-term love affair with deep emotion.
Xia Wei changed into a new custom-made dress. It was not as grand and elegant as her wedding dress, but it still looked dazzling and gorgeous as a bride.
The bright red dress, made of satin-like fabric, shone brilliantly under the light. The belt around her waist was adorned with diamonds, outlining her slender waist that could be held in one hand.
She had a perfect smile on her face and a charming posture. Standing next to Zhao Rui, who was dressed in a suit, they were truly a perfect match.
Many guests were congratulating the newlyweds. After the host finished his congratulatory remarks, the two couples began to exchange rings.
Xia Wei looked at Zhao Rui in front of her shyly. She had waited for this moment for a long time, five whole years. When she snatched him from Xia Yunxi, she had been waiting, waiting to become his most beautiful bride.
Although the process was tortuous, fortunately the ending was good.
Watching Zhao Rui slowly push the ring on the tray into her ring finger.
Xia Wei couldn't suppress the smile on her face. From that moment on, their relationship was no longer subject to doubts and speculations from the outside world. She was his bride, the one who would spend the rest of his life with him.
However, something unexpected happened at this moment.
When everyone felt that the dust had settled and was ready to congratulate with warm applause.
There was a sudden flash on the screen in the middle of the hall, followed by a blushing gasp that spread throughout the hall.
“
All of a sudden, everyone looked at the big screen with great interest.
The picture above shows a dim room, and the bedside lamp is not bright enough.
But it was enough to see the scene on the bed clearly.
Men have muscular hair.
The hall was suddenly in an uproar, and many people were stunned by this sudden change.
The Zhao family, including Zhao's father and mother, loudly asked the staff to turn off the main switch immediately.
The host was also confused. He didn't understand why Tiger suddenly had such a change when the whole process was going smoothly.
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
Xia Chenghai and Bai Fangzhen looked at this scene with unhappy expressions.
The two of them blamed the Zhao family in their hearts. In an occasion like today, not to mention the business partners who came to attend the wedding banquet, even those dignitaries were present. Playing such things at the banquet, did the Zhao family think they had too many branches?
But no one noticed that as the protagonist of today, Xia Wei, who was dressed in bright and eye-catching clothes, turned pale as paper when she saw the picture played on the screen.
The hands covering the abdomen were twisted together tightly, as if they were about to pierce the skin.
