Qin Biyu's words made Gu Liji's face turn red with anger. If Gu Rongqi hadn't been there to steady his wheelchair from behind, he probably would have driven it to crash into her again.
"Stop messing around." Gu Rongqi's two soft words stopped him from acting impulsively.
Cheng Qicai asked, puzzled, "Brother Gu, what's going on with you guys? Weren't you two getting along pretty well before?"
"Who's on good terms with her? She's a crazy woman." Gu Liji shouted angrily. "Last time she went to get Lu Qi's abortion, she was the one who shouted the most enthusiastically and asked people to get a few more abortions. Afterwards, when she went back with Lu Qi, Lu Qi warned her in front of her parents and then sent her abroad."
"She doesn't dare to hold a grudge against Lu Qi, so she blames me instead. She's really sick in the head," Gu Liji said indignantly.
Cheng Qicai thought, no wonder she hadn't seen Qin Biyu since that day, it turned out she had gone abroad.
"You think someone like her could possibly win someone over?"
"I think it's alright. I feel that although her mouth is a bit..., some people just like to be loved passionately and directly. It's just that she and Brother Lu are not destined to be together," Cheng Qicai said.
Although she did dislike Qin Biyu, Cheng Qicai still envied Qin Biyu's outspoken personality.
"You like this kind of style?" Gu Liji glanced at Gu Rongqi.
"...No, let me just state the facts." Cheng Qicai's voice sounded somewhat weak.
Gu Liji leaned closer to look at her, his face full of disbelief. "Really?"
Cheng Qicai felt uncomfortable under his gaze and avoided his scrutinizing eyes. "Oh, who doesn't like a sincere person, right?"
"Hehe..." Gu Liji coaxed Cheng Qicai out of his words and winked at Gu Rongqi.
His brother needs to change the way he expresses his feelings!
The three walked back to the hotel. The engagement ceremony was about to begin, and Cheng Qicai sat in her seat waiting for it to start.
She and Gu Rongqi had different statuses, so they naturally didn't sit together.
Soon after, the other guests took their seats until the host came on stage.
After the host's opening remarks, the door opened, and Yun Su Ni and Lu Qi entered.
In front of all the guests, they exchanged engagement rings and read and signed the engagement certificate.
When Cheng Qicai heard the contents of the engagement letter being read aloud, she looked at the two of them and felt a sense of nostalgia, like when she was a child reading her own essays from under her desk.
After Yun Su Ni and Lu Qi finished speaking, their parents went on stage and gave a speech, and then the banquet began.
This step in the hotel process is relatively simple.
Cheng Qicai looked at the delicacies on the table and happily went to pick up the food.
This is much more upscale than the banquets she usually attends with relatives and friends; she'll definitely enjoy the taste.
Accompanied by their parents, Yun Suni and Lu Qi came down to offer toasts in turn. Cheng Qicai's family was close to theirs, so the toasts were quickly served to them.
"Sister, Brother Lu, congratulations on your engagement!" Cheng Qicai raised her glass to clink glasses with them, then took a small sip.
"Thank you! Enjoy your meal and drinks," Yun Suni said with a smile.
Lu Qi handed the red envelopes in his hand to Cheng Qicai and the others, one for each of them.
Due to time constraints, after finishing their drinks, they went with their parents to toast the next person.
Touching the thick, slightly heavy stack, Cheng Qicai felt there was a lot! She was itching to open it and take a look right now, but with so many people around, it wasn't appropriate.
She was preoccupied with the red envelope in her pocket, so she ate rather quickly. There were quite a few elders at their table, and Cheng Qicai didn't want to leave too early.
After finishing her meal, Cheng Qicai quickly got up and went to the restroom.
Halfway there, they were stopped by Gu Rongqi and his group.
"Seven Colors, let's go upstairs and play some board games," Gu Liji called to her.
The hotel also has recreational facilities where engagement guests can relax.
Cheng Qicai absentmindedly refused, "No, you guys go have fun."
Seeing Cheng Qicai's indifferent face, Gu Liji thought that Cheng Qicai had thought of Ren Baiping again, so he compromised and said, "Okay, okay, I'll call Ren Baiping now to apologize, alright? That way you won't be angry with us anymore."
Cheng Qicai didn't expect him to suddenly mention Ren Baiping. All she wanted to do now was see how much money was in her red envelope.
She shook her head and said, "No, I'm not angry."
Seeing that Cheng Qicai still wanted to leave, she said, "If you're not angry yet, then tell me what it will take for you to calm down."
Cheng Qicai's voice was a little urgent: "I need to go to the toilet urgently, Brother Gu."
Hearing Cheng Qicai call out "Brother Gu," Gu Liji let go of her hand. "Alright, we'll wait for you here."
Cheng Qicai had no intention of listening to him anymore and quickly ran to the toilet.
He pulled out the money and counted it out one bill at a time.
One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...
Cheng Qicai was so happy to receive 8,888 yuan that she almost jumped for joy.
She said, "Why is it so heavy!"
There's a folded piece of white paper on the back.
Cheng Qicai pulled it out with a puzzled look, opened it and saw that it was a check with several zeros after the number one. Cheng Qicai looked at the unit on the money and saw that it was in ten thousand.
Lu Qi actually gave her 100,000.
Cheng Qicai's heart pounded in shock; what was the difference between this exhilarating feeling and winning the lottery?
Her hands trembled as she stuffed the money into her pocket and carefully kept it safe.
She now has nearly 110,000 yuan in her pocket!
She always hummed a little tune as she left the restroom. When she washed her hands, she looked at her radiant reflection in the mirror, knowing that something wonderful was about to happen.
She coughed lightly, suppressing her smile, reminding herself that wealth should not be flaunted.
Although the joy in her eyes was hard to hide, it was much better than before.
When I got to the place where I had parted ways with Gu Rong, I saw that they were still standing there.
Cheng Qicai was taken aback. They were really waiting for her!
"Seven Colors!" Gu called out to her, "I've been waiting for you for ages. Come on, let's go upstairs and play some board games."
Cheng Qicai was in a great mood and no longer cared about Gu Liji's bad temper while playing games.
"Great!" She felt that with this sum of over 100,000 yuan, she could forgive anyone.
"Are you happy?" Gu Rongqi asked, looking at her face.
Cheng Qicai touched her face and mumbled, "Of course I'm happy that my sister is getting engaged!"
"You don't seem as happy as your sister is getting engaged, you seem as happy as if you yourself got engaged," Gu Liji complained from the side.
After hearing his guess, Cheng Qicai thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Pretty much, pretty much."
She won't get this much money for her engagement for nothing. This money is equivalent to a year's salary for free without eating or drinking. How could she not be happy?
Thinking about it this way, she was even happier.
