Chapter 565: Wen Qingyi’s birthday party
"I have to go." Sang Ruo lowered her eyes, a cold glint in them: "She even personally delivered the invitation to my door, how can I not go?"
Even if she doesn't go, Wen Qingyi's hostility towards her won't disappear so easily.
We might as well go and see what tricks she's up to.
Bo Jinyan explained to her indirectly, "She didn't deliver the invitation herself, but the Gong family's butler did deliver it personally and instructed us to be there."
The fact that the Gong family steward personally delivered it to their door suggests that Gong Lian had given them special instructions.
It's not that they can simply choose not to go if they don't want to.
Not going would mean disrespecting Gong Lian, which would be tantamount to openly opposing the Gong family and directly breaking ties with them.
Although he and Gong Lian had had many frictions before, he still had to consider saving face in general.
He doesn't want to do anything that offends people like that anymore.
“That makes sense, doesn’t it?” Sang Ruo knew this would happen: “From the moment we received this invitation, I had no choice.”
Even if she didn't want to go, she couldn't not go.
She had no choice.
Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed in Bo Jinyan's eyes: "Xiao Ruo, don't be like this. I'll attend with you. I won't let you suffer any injustice."
"If Wen Qingyi dares to target you, I'm willing to completely break with Gong Lian."
She was the woman of his heart, his precious treasure.
He couldn't possibly stand by and watch her be wronged at Wen Qingyi's birthday party.
Sang Ruo curled her lips and said with a light smile, "Ayan, I know you're good to me, but Wen Qingyi is clearly targeting me. I don't want you to offend someone because of me."
Especially since the person they offended this time was Gong Lian.
She was even more unwilling to let her own actions worsen the already cold relationship between Bo Jinyan and Gong Lian.
She'll feel guilty.
“I’m willing.” In Bo Jinyan’s heart, no one is more important than Sang Ruo: “Xiao Ruo, you think of me, and I think of you too. I can’t watch you fall into such a dangerous situation.”
Especially when facing Wen Qingyi.
Wen Qingyi originally came for him, because the previous breakup of the engagement had caused a lot of unpleasantness.
Wen Qingyi was already at her wit's end, and was about to lose her place in the entertainment industry.
If Gong Lian hadn't helped her, how could she have had such a smooth life?
Sang Ruo grasped Bo Jinyan's hand: "Alright, Yan, there's no use in saying more here. We don't know what Wen Qingyi is up to this time. Let's talk about it at the birthday banquet."
However, things have really been quite turbulent lately.
Before Chen Wei's situation was resolved, Wen Qingyi had already taken action.
Caught between two attacks, caught in a dilemma.
night.
Sang Ruo quickly changed into a light blue evening gown, which Bo Jinyan bought for her at a high price. It was the latest work of the famous Chinese-American designer, Bo Deman, called "Blue Lover".
Her skin was naturally fair, and with Bo Jinyan's pampering and nourishment, she resembled a delicate blue rose, emerging from the water like a lotus, elegant and noble, with an even more refined and elegant temperament than before her marriage.
It looks desirable but is out of reach.
Many guests couldn't help but sigh that Sang Ruo's temperament had changed after marrying Bo Jinyan. She was not only more noble than before, but also seemed more unapproachable, with a gentle yet firm demeanor.
Perhaps this is the confidence that marriage gives her.
It was also the confidence that Bo Jinyan gave her.
Bo Jinyan then put his arm around her, and the two entered the Gong family villa together.
Upon entering, the entire Gong family villa was bustling with activity. Wen Qingyi, dressed in a pink evening gown, shone brightly under the magnificent crystal chandelier.
Gong Lian, who was standing next to her, had his arm around her waist affectionately, chatting and laughing with the others.
Until Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan arrived, many guests couldn't help but look at them.
After all, Wen Qingyi and Bo Jinyan had been engaged before, and Gong Lian had done many excessive things to Sang Ruo for Wen Qingyi, which caused quite a stir at the time.
Anyone who knows them even a little bit knows these things.
Now that former lovers meet again, I wonder if they will be particularly envious.
"Mr. Gong, it's been a long time."
Sang Ruo took the initiative to greet Gong Lian, and didn't forget to say to Wen Qingyi next to him, "I heard that the two of you will be getting engaged soon. Congratulations!"
Wen Qingyi looked at Sang Ruo and Bo Jinyan's intimate behavior, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Miss Sang, what are you saying?"
"Speaking of which, I should thank Miss Sang. Without Miss Sang's help, my relationship with Gong Lian would not have progressed so quickly."
If Sang Ruo hadn't driven her to the brink of despair, almost making it out of the entertainment industry, why would she have abandoned Bo Jinyan and turned to Gong Lian instead?
This caused her to drift further and further away from Bo Jinyan.
Upon hearing this, Sang Ruo ignored her sarcasm and still smiled, saying, "So, in that case, I'm the matchmaker between you two? When the engagement day comes, don't forget to invite me, your matchmaker, to the wedding banquet."
You can't hit someone who's smiling.
This is a common practice among respectable people, and no one will dare to slap this smiling face.
But Wen Qingyi didn't follow this rule.
She never indulged Sang Ruo.
Wen Qingyi immediately retorted, her tone forceful and intimidating: "What kind of matchmaker are you? I'm doing just fine without you, Miss Sang. Don't think that just because you married Bo Jinyan, you'll become someone important."
"It's good for people to have some self-awareness. Taking yourself too seriously will make you very disliked."
So what if Sang Ruo marries Bo Jinyan?
She remains that helpless orphan girl who was targeted by Liang Yuxin and almost lost her family.
What right do you have to stand here and yell at her?
"Who's really lacking self-awareness?" Sang Ruo retorted without hesitation: "I wish you and Mr. Gong a long and happy life together, what's wrong with that? Or are you still harboring feelings for Ayan? Are you trying to have your cake and eat it too?"
"You're not trying to have your cake and eat it too, are you?"
She was simply offering her blessings to Wen Qingyi and Gong Lian on their upcoming engagement. What was wrong with that?
Why does Wen Qingyi seem so vulnerable?
Did she touch a nerve?
Upon hearing this, Gong Lian shot her a cold, sharp glare, his words filled with a warning: "Miss Sang, please know when to stop. Don't be so unreasonable."
What does it mean to have your cake and eat it too?
What kind of person did she take Gong Lian for?
"Am I being unreasonable? Who started this trouble?" Sang Ruo couldn't help but retort, "I was just trying to send you my best wishes, and you think I sent them to the wrong person?"
