Chapter 157 Celebrating my complete elimination of my love rival
It is said that the two families are in a family marriage. Because of the affair with Bai Hansui, Huo Chilin has a very bad reputation in the circle.
The Huo family was originally only middle-class in the circle, and after this incident, many daughters from good families were unwilling to marry him.
To make matters worse, the Huo family's company recently suffered losses due to failed decisions and urgently needs a large amount of funds to fill the deficit.
So in the end, Huo Chilin's parents reached a cooperation with the Gao family.
After the two families get married, the Gao family will inject capital into the Huo family.
It is said that Gao Siqi has liked Huo Chilin since childhood, and even though her confession failed in high school, she has never given up over the years.
Especially after knowing that something happened to the Huo family, she took the initiative to propose to marry Huo Chilin.
She is the only daughter in the Gao family, otherwise Gao's father and mother would never have married Gao Siqi to their family.
When Shen Lai returned home after filming in the evening, he learned that the Huo family had sent them an invitation.
Chen Lai didn't want to go, but Pei Jingyan said, "They sincerely invited us to participate, how can we not go?"
Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan with doubt, "Don't you hate him the most? Why do you suddenly want to attend his wedding?"
Pei Jingyan said calmly, "If you don't go, people will think you and him really have something going on. In that case, of course we have to attend."
Shen Lai seriously suspected that Pei Jingyan was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Huo Chilin.
Huo Chilin's wedding was held on the shores of Jingze Lake in the city. The scene was grand and many wealthy and noble people were invited to attend.
When Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai arrived at the scene, Huo Chilin and his fiancée were welcoming them at the door.
When Huo Chilin saw the two people appear, his body stiffened for a moment.
He obviously didn't expect that Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai would actually come to his wedding.
"Mr. Huo, I heard that you got married today. Congratulations." Pei Jingyan said calmly and elegantly.
A year ago, Huo Chilin officially took over the Huo family's company, and his title changed from Mr. Huo to Mr. Huo.
Huo Chilin's eyes swept across Shen Lai's hand holding Pei Jingyan, and his voice was hard, "Are you really here?"
"Such a wonderful day, how can we not come and participate." Pei Jingyan looked at Shen Lai when he said this, "Lai Lai, don't you agree?"
He deliberately emphasized the word "Lai Lai", revealing an unspeakable ambiguity.
Chen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan with an indescribable look in her eyes. Of course she had to protect her husband in front of outsiders, so she nodded in cooperation.
Perhaps because of the rumors, Gao Siqi next to him looked at Shen Lai with some hostility, and hugged Huo Chilin's hand tightly, as if to declare his sovereignty.
Shen Lai felt that there was really no need for the other party to do so.
If Pei Jingyan hadn't insisted on coming, she wouldn't have bothered to join in the fun.
When the two appeared at the wedding scene, they attracted a lot of attention, and people immediately started whispering and talking about them.
"Why are President Pei and Shen Lai here?"
“Yeah, isn’t it said that Shen Lai was Mr. Huo’s girlfriend before?”
"What's so strange about this? Didn't they break up? Besides, Shen Lai is married to Mr. Pei, so how could she still be interested in Huo Chilin?"
Everyone knows that Pei Jingyan and Shen Lai are in love. Pei Jingyan caused a lot of controversy when he took the blame for Shen Lai. After they got married, Pei Jingyan turned down all social engagements and went home to be with his wife and children as soon as he got off work.
Shen Lai would have to be blind to turn back to Huo Chilin.
What's more, this old friend is almost dead.
Soon the wedding went smoothly, with the vows, the exchange of rings, and the kiss, every step was done in accordance with the rules and there were no mistakes.
The dinner was held in the open air. Halfway through the meal, Shen Lai got up and went to the bathroom.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she was blocked by a tall figure.
Seeing Huo Chilin, Shen Lai frowned, "Boss Huo, what's the matter?"
Three years have passed, and the years have not left any traces on Shen Lai. Instead, they have added a bit of sexiness and maturity to her, just like a rose that has been carefully watered and has grown perfectly, making people unable to take their eyes off it even from a distance.
Huo Chilin's expression was complicated. "This marriage is not what I want to get married to, but I have no choice. The company has run into problems, and as a member of the Huo family, I can only do this."
Shen Lai said lightly: "This is your family's business, you don't need to explain it to me."
Seeing Shen Lai's indifferent look, Huo Chilin's eyes dimmed.
He could see that Shen Lai didn't care about his affairs at all.
Huo Chilin clenched his fists, holding on to the last glimmer of hope and said, "Chen Lai, are you really not even a little sad?"
Shen Lai said calmly: "Huo Chilin, since you are married, you should be with each other well. Don't do the same thing as before. It's unfair to your new wife."
After saying that, she turned and left without even looking at Huo Chilin.
Just as she passed the corner, a voice called out to Shen Lai, "Miss Shen, can we talk?"
Shen Lai raised his eyebrows and looked at Gao Siqi who came in front of him, "Miss Gao, what do you want to talk about?"
Gao Siqi raised her hand and showed the wedding ring on her ring finger. It was the one Huo Chilin had put on her finger on the stage just now. "Ms. Chen, Chilin and I are already married. I hope you can keep your distance from him in the future."
It turns out they came to claim sovereignty.
Shen Lai smiled slightly, "Miss Gao, don't worry. If I were interested in him, you wouldn't be the one standing here now."
Gao Siqi's expression changed slightly, obviously Chen Lai had touched a sore spot.
Before she could speak, Shen Lai said, "Besides, why should I abandon my happy family and be with Huo Chilin? I'm not crazy or stupid."
Gao Siqi stared at Shen Lai for a long time, as if trying to determine the truth of his words. She bit her lip and said unwillingly, "It's better this way."
She stamped her feet hard, lifted her skirt and walked away.
Shen Lai stood there and looked at Gao Siqi's departing back, thinking that this person was quite interesting.
Although Gao Siqi speaks bluntly, she is much better than Bai Hansui, who appears gentle and kind on the surface but stabs you in the back.
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows when he saw Chen Lai coming back so late, "Why did you take so long?"
Chen Lai said calmly, "Going to the bathroom took some time."
Pei Jingyan looked past Chen Lai and saw Huo Chilin and Gao Siqi walking in from outside, the former looking at them.
Pei Jingyan's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly reached out to turn Shen Lai's face and kissed her lips.
The sudden action made Shen Lai blush, and he couldn't help but push Pei Jingyan, "What are you doing? There are people next to us."
Pei Jingyan put his arm around her shoulders with a smile, and looked at Huo Chilin provocatively.
Huo Chilin could not hide the loneliness in his eyes.
Just at this moment, Gao Siqi came up and hugged his arm. He forced a smile, then reluctantly looked away and left.
It was already evening when the wedding ended.
The two returned to the car, and Shen Lai looked at Pei Jingyan beside him, "She's married now, are you relieved?"
Pei Jingyan raised his eyebrows. "People like Huo Chilin can only be restrained after getting married."
Now the Huo family needs the help of the Gao family, so even if Huo Chilin wants to cheat, he definitely doesn't have the courage to cheat like before.
Shen Lai thought that Huo Chilin was just a case of "evil will be punished by evil".
Just as he was lost in thought, Pei Jingyan approached without warning. The familiar cool scent of pine swept over him, and his tone became dangerously low, "Chen Lai, such a great day, shouldn't we celebrate?"
Shen Lai didn't understand and asked in confusion: "What are you celebrating?"
Before Shen Lai could react, Pei Jingyan pushed him down onto the seat. A smile played on the corners of his lips, and his slender fingers pressed the baffle in front of him. "Of course, it's to celebrate my complete elimination of my love rival."
