Chapter 849 Forced Kiss of Lu Nanchu
Wen Qingyi fell onto the marble floor, hitting the back of her head on it. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and although she looked disheveled, her strikingly beautiful face still evoked pity from the men present.
But after Gong Lian pushed her down, he didn't turn around. Instead, he turned and left without even looking back.
"Isn't this Wen Qingyi, who was once extremely popular in the entertainment industry? How did she end up like this?"
"I heard that even after she got together with Gong Lian, she still had feelings for Bo Jinyan of the Anding Group! When Gong Lian found out, he was furious and immediately broke off the engagement with her! And recently she's been getting very close to today's groom, Young Master Xu..."
"Really? No wonder you've ended up like this! No man would want a woman who's fickle."
Just as everyone was whispering among themselves, Xu Chen walked straight over and helped Wen Qingyi up: "Qingyi, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Wen Qingyi simply patted her light blue evening dress. "Thank you, Brother Chen."
Seeing that she was alright, Xu Chen was about to speak when Xu Yi stopped him: "Chen! What are you doing here? You're about to go on stage, aren't you going to get ready?!"
"Dad, Qingyi was pushed down, and I helped her up." Xu Chen explained calmly, seemingly afraid that he would misunderstand, but when he saw Xu Yi's overly gloomy face, he shut up and silently went to prepare for going on stage.
Sang Ruo, who had witnessed everything, nudged Bo Jinyan beside her and asked, "What's going on here? Are they planning something at the Lu and Xu families' wedding?"
"Who knows?" Bo Jinyan had also noticed the commotion, but he wasn't sure what they were thinking. "It's not impossible. Let's wait and see."
On the other side, the restroom.
Gong Lian turned on the tap and frantically used water to try and clear his head, but he was still somewhat disoriented. He stumbled out of the bathroom and saw a very familiar woman at the door.
He walked straight up to her and, without waiting for her to speak, sealed her pink lips with his thin lips.
Lu Nanchu's eyes widened suddenly. Reacting quickly, she pushed him away and then raised her hand to slap him hard across the face!
A sharp, resounding slap echoed in the hallway outside the restroom, making the warm yellow light seem extremely ambiguous.
"Mr. Gong, look carefully at who I am!" Lu Nanchu was furious after being forcibly kissed by him, so she slapped him hard, her eyes filled with a hint of ferocity: "I am not a woman you can treat so casually!"
Perhaps the sound of the slap was too loud, echoing throughout the banquet hall and attracting the attention of many people, who then headed towards the restroom.
This included Xu Chen, Wen Qingyi, Sang Ruo, Bo Jinyan, and others.
Gong Lian raised his hand to touch his face, which was still burning from the slap, and said nonchalantly, "I'm sorry, I mistook you for Sang Ruo."
He kept saying sorry, but the nonchalant expression on his face showed no remorse whatsoever.
"You mistook me for Sang Ruo?" Lu Nanchu never expected to encounter something like this while just going to the restroom. "Are you trying to make excuses for your behavior? Do I look that much like my cousin-in-law? How could the usually aloof Mr. Gong mistake me for someone else?!"
Their conversation was heard by all the guests, and the way they looked at Sang Ruo began to change.
Sang Ruo noticed the gazes directed at her and felt extremely uncomfortable. She subconsciously looked at Bo Jinyan.
Bo Jinyan tightened his grip on Sang Ruo's slender waist, his voice carrying a heavy sense of oppression that sent chills down one's spine: "What exactly does this Gong Lian want?"
He made such a scene in public and dragged Xiao Ru into it. What exactly is he up to?
Why does he feel like he understands less and less?
Gong Lian's lips curved into a faint smile: "In some ways, you and she have quite similar temperaments. You are both so bright and unrestrained that you can't take your eyes off her at first glance."
For a moment, Lu Nanchu couldn't tell whether Gong Lian was praising her or belittling her: "Mr. Gong, since you like Sang Ruo so much, why don't you pursue her? Why did you come over and kiss me?"
If you like someone, you should bravely pursue them while drawing a clear line between yourself and Wen Qingyi. How can someone act like that?
He was kissing another woman while saying he liked Sang Ruo?
Who are you kidding?
"Kissing you was just an accident; I was drunk." Gong Lian was telling the truth. He had indeed drunk quite a bit, which caused him to mistake someone else for someone else. He was also very annoyed: "Miss Lu, please forgive me if I have offended you in any way. I'm sorry."
He just missed Sang Ruo too much, to the point that even looking at her couldn't relieve his longing, which led him to make such a mistake.
However, it was indeed an accident that he kissed Lu Nanchu; he hadn't expected it either.
"I'm sorry?" Before Lu Nanchu could speak, Xu Chen interrupted him, saying, "Mr. Gong, do you think you can resolve the matter of kissing my wife with a simple 'I'm sorry'?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu turned her head and saw Xu Chen standing in the crowd, with a large group of guests behind him, who had clearly witnessed the entire scene: "Ah Chen..."
She seemed to want to explain, but before she could speak, Gong Lian preemptively answered, "So, how does Second Young Master Xu plan to resolve this? Why not tell me and see if I, Gong, can accept it?"
That's right, he asked whether he could accept it, not whether he could do it, which clearly shows he didn't take Xu Chen seriously.
"Gong Lian!" Xu Chen was annoyed by his nonchalance: "You kissed my wife, and you still have the nerve to act so self-righteous? Do you even respect me?"
Do you really think that once he marries into the Lu family, they won't be able to control him?
Although his strength is not what it used to be, it's still compared to his former self! He's far from being someone a self-made man like Gong Lian can easily fool!
Gong Lian smiled faintly and said casually, "I did kiss your wife, but don't forget your previous ambiguous relationship with my girlfriend Wen Qingyi! Do you think you're any better than me in this kind of thing?"
“At least I, Gong Lian, dare to speak and act! What about you, Second Young Master Xu? Do you dare to admit that there are no feelings between you and Wen Qingyi?”
When Xu Chen asked the last question, the onlookers standing behind him were almost stunned.
