Chapter 635 Receiving the Invitation
"Auntie, I'm relieved to hear you say that."
Chen Wei had no idea that as she spoke, Chen Hui was standing at the door, his fists clenched, veins bulging on the back of his hands, and his face so dark it seemed to drip water.
He had considered that Xiao Wei might find out, or might try to hide it from him, but he never expected that Xiao Wei would have the audacity to do so! And she didn't seem to think she had done anything wrong at all!
When exactly did Xiaowei become like this?
Is this still the well-behaved daughter he has carefully cared for and raised?
Why did he feel that the girl in front of him seemed so unfamiliar?
Chen Hui stood alone in front of her door for a long time before slowly leaving.
The next day, because it was the weekend, Chen Hui stayed home to rest and did not go to work. But just after they finished breakfast, someone who shouldn't have been there suddenly appeared.
"uncle."
As soon as Wei Haoyu entered, he greeted Chen Hui, "I'm here to see Xiaowei. Is she here?"
He knew that Chen Hui had never liked her, but the current situation was so special that he had no choice but to seek help from Chen Wei to resolve the issue.
After all, Wanru's face was almost completely disfigured, and how she would live the rest of her life was still unknown.
"Wei Haoyu, what are you doing here?" Chen Hui's expression turned hostile as soon as he saw him. "Haven't you caused enough trouble in our Chen family yet? Have you forgotten the lesson I taught you before?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Haoyu lowered his eyes and took the initiative to humble himself: "I wouldn't dare, how could I forget? I really came here today to see Xiaowei about something. If there was nothing else, I wouldn't be here disturbing your rest."
He knew perfectly well that his father-in-law, Chen Hui, wouldn't give him a warm welcome, so why would he risk being kicked out to come and visit?
Isn't it because they really needed something from me that they had no choice but to come?
"What is it? Why don't you tell me?" Chen Hui said calmly, picking up his teacup and taking a sip. "I'll try my best to help you with what I can. Just stay away from Xiao Wei from now on."
He didn't want Wei Haoyu to get too close to his daughter.
After all, they are already divorced, so there is no need for them to have any further contact. Being each other's most familiar strangers is the most suitable mode for them.
Wei Haoyu sensed his former father-in-law's dissatisfaction with him: "Uncle, this matter really can only be handled by Xiaowei. It's really not appropriate for you to handle it. Please let me see Xiaowei. I'll leave as soon as we finish talking."
No one knows about Wanru's situation except Xiaowei, and it's best not to let Chen Hui know either.
Otherwise, Wanru might be in danger again.
He had a duty to ensure Wanru's safety.
"Is there something that only Xiaowei can handle, and that I can't?" Chen Hui suddenly stopped drinking his tea, raised his eyes, and stared intently at him: "What are you two up to behind my back?"
He absolutely wouldn't let him in unless he gave a clear explanation.
He wanted to see what this man had that made him keep bothering Xiaowei.
How can you be so self-aware after getting divorced?
Wei Haoyu didn't speak, but a hint of impatience was visible in his eyes.
He tried everything to reason with him, but he still remained stubbornly unmoved.
"What? You don't want to talk about it, huh?" Chen Hui noticed his hesitation and coldly reminded him, "If you don't want to talk, you can just get lost. I'm warning you, if I ever find out you're having any private dealings with Xiao Wei again, I'll break your legs!"
Wei Haoyu could only leave awkwardly.
Before leaving, he reluctantly glanced upstairs and saw that Chen Wei's room door was still tightly closed before turning to leave.
...
Inside a VIP ward at Tiantan Hospital.
Under Bo Jinyan's meticulous care, Sang Ruo's insomnia symptoms gradually improved. Although she still had some psychological trauma, she was much better than before, and her appetite gradually returned to normal.
But while Bo Jinyan brought her food, he also received something else, which he gave to Sang Ruo.
Sang Ruo looked at the envelope-sized object, blinked, and asked, "What is this?"
"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Bo Jinyan said, keeping everyone in suspense, "I'm also thinking about whether or not I should take you there. Tell me after you've seen it."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo opened the envelope and found a deep red invitation inside. The names of the bride and groom were none other than Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian, whom she knew well.
But Sang Ruo wasn't surprised to receive the invitation. Instead, she smiled wryly and said, "They're finally going to have their engagement ceremony?"
In fact, Gong Lian had already announced their marriage, but they hadn't held an engagement ceremony yet. The ceremony had been delayed for so long, it was time to hold it.
If they don't hold an engagement ceremony soon, she'll start to wonder if the two of them have broken up.
“It’s been dragged on for so long, even if Wen Qingyi doesn’t want to, Gong Lian won’t allow her to delay any longer.” Bo Jinyan couldn’t help but sneer, “Xiao Ruo, what’s your decision? The Gong family’s butler personally delivered this, insisting that you attend as well. Are you going or not?”
If she doesn't want to go, he naturally won't go either.
Sang Ruo lowered her eyes, pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "I will go. After all, it's your ex-fiancée's engagement, and I have to go and see it."
She spoke calmly and without any ripples, but her tone turned slightly sour when she mentioned her ex-fiancée.
"Xiao Ruo, are you jealous?" Bo Jinyan noticed the sourness in her tone, and a faint smile spread across his thin lips: "I already said she's my ex-fiancée. The engagement we made when we were kids doesn't count."
Besides, he's already married to her, isn't he?
What is she still bothered about here?
Sang Ruo knew, of course, that this didn't count, but said, "But it's precisely because of this engagement that Miss Wen still can't forget you, isn't it?"
Even though he is now a married man, Wen Qingyi has never given up on him.
This man is too outstanding; Sang Ruo finds it very difficult to feel secure.
"That's her business, it has nothing to do with me." Bo Jinyan didn't care about Wen Qingyi at all, his tone as cold as if he were stating something insignificant: "Xiao Ruo, you're the only one in my heart, don't you know that?"
Although he was happy that she was jealous, he was still somewhat dissatisfied that she pushed him to Wen Qingyi's side.
It's all in the past, why bring her up again?
Hearing this, Sang Ruo chuckled softly, her smile gentle: "I know, but sometimes it's impossible to guard against everything. I believe in your feelings for me, but I don't believe that Wen Qingyi would be willing to give up on you so easily."
Even though she is about to get engaged to Gong Lian, it doesn't mean she has given up on Bo Jinyan.
