The next day, Lin Zhibai told her that they didn't need to tell his parents about their upcoming marriage.
He wanted to give her a grand wedding, and once everything was ready, he would simply invite her parents to attend.
Sheng Xin hesitated.
If he truly wants to marry her, why would he intentionally hide it from his parents?
Then he added that if she was willing, they could hold their weddings at the same time as Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xin's hesitation vanished instantly.
Being able to hold her wedding at the same time as Lu and Yun elevates her status and position.
By then, the entire social circle will recognize her as Mrs. Lin, and the opinions of Lin Zhibai's parents will become irrelevant.
On the contrary, perhaps because of face-saving, she could still be accepted by Lin's parents.
“I’ll pick you up tonight so you can meet Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan,” Lin Zhibai added. “You can ask Wanwan for advice on wedding preparations in person.”
That evening, Sheng Xin dressed up specially and followed Lin Zhibai to the bar.
They had a private room in the bar.
Pushing open the door, the once lively private room instantly fell silent.
Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan were indeed inside, as was Shen Xinghui, along with several other young men from the same circle whom they got along with.
All eyes were on Sheng Xin, filled with doubt, dissatisfaction, rejection, and disdain...
Sheng Xin was intimidated by this imposing aura and involuntarily took a step back.
Lin Zhibai gripped her hand tightly, pulled her to his side, and embraced her. "Let me introduce you, this is my fiancée, Sheng Xin."
He looked at the young men younger than him and said, "When you see them in the future, you should call them 'sister-in-law'."
"Hello, sister-in-law!" They dared not disrespect Lin Zhibai.
"Hello everyone." Sheng Xin smiled and took out a stack of red envelopes from her bag, one for each person.
Lu Dongjue, Yun Suiwan, and Shen Xinghui were not left out either.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" The loud voice rang out again.
Just then, a figure appeared at the doorway.
Yun Suiwan immediately waved to the door: "Fan Yan, over here!"
Gu Fanyan smiled slightly, walked into the private room, and sat down on the sofa that Yun Suiwan had vacated for her.
Sheng Xin's eyes flickered slightly.
She arrived before Gu Fanyan and was still standing, but Yun Suiwan didn't move aside to give her a seat.
Lin Zhibai pulled her hand and sat her down.
He sat next to Shen Xinghui, and she sat next to him, on the outermost edge of the sofa.
Looking at Gu Fanyan again, she was sitting next to Yun Suiwan, surrounded by a group of young men and their female companions.
Gu Fanyan essentially took the center position at Yun Suiwan's party.
Sheng Xin felt a tightness in her chest.
Yun Suiwan is Lu Dongjue's fiancée, so it's understandable that she sits in the center position.
She's Lin Zhibai's fiancée; that spot in the center should be hers!
Who is Gu Fanyan here?
Sheng Xin had no idea that this was how they had always played together since they were little.
She is the complete outsider.
Most people would tolerate feeling wronged, but Sheng Xin cannot.
She's the soon-to-be Mrs. Lin, the future young mistress of the Lin family. Who does she have to put up with?!
She picked up her wine glass and went to Yun Suiwan and Gu Fanyan, speaking warmly and affectionately, "Miss Yun, Miss Gu, I must toast you both."
As she spoke, she gave a wink to the woman next to Gu Fanyan.
The woman was there with a young master and didn't know Sheng Xin's background. She only thought that Sheng Xin was the future young mistress of the Lin family and that her identity and background must be extraordinary.
Not wanting to offend anyone, she stood up and gave her seat to Sheng Xin.
Just as Sheng Xin sat down, Yun Suiwan said, "I caught a cold and took some cephalosporin, so I won't be drinking with you today."
Sheng Xin glanced at Yun Suiwan and saw that there was a wine glass in front of her, but only a shallow layer remained.
But what could she say?
Saying too much will only make Lin Zhibai feel that she is being aggressive.
So she smiled with concern: "Miss Yun, please take good care of yourself... Hi, this isn't the first time we've met. Calling you Miss Yun or Miss Gu sounds very unfamiliar. May I call you by your names?"
"You can also call me by my nickname, Xin Xin."
"Xin Xin, come on, let's have a toast." Gu Fanyan immediately raised her glass and clinked glasses with Sheng Xin.
Everyone finished the wine in their glasses.
“Sister Fanyan,” Yun Suiwan frowned, “the doctor said you need to take better care of your health, how could you drink so much alcohol!”
"It was my fault!" Sheng Xin immediately said. "I was wrong, Sister Fanyan, I'll punish myself with a drink."
She immediately drank another glass.
Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little relaxation now and then."
As they were talking, a figure moved on the other side of Sheng Xin, and Lin Zhibai sat down.
The first thing he did after sitting down was to reach out an arm and pull Sheng Xin into his embrace.
His handsome eyes passed over Gu Fanyan and were fixed on Yun Suiwan: "Wanwan, how are the preparations for your wedding with Dongjue going?"
Yun Suiwan glanced at him and said, "The preparations are going very smoothly."
“I’ll have Xin Xin help you with the preparations,” he continued. “You have experience, so you can help me mentor her.”
"When do you plan to get married?" Yun Suiwan asked.
"Same day, same venue as you," Lin Zhibai replied, "How about that?"
"Get out!" Lu Dongjue replied immediately. "My wedding with Wanwan doesn't need a third or fourth person."
Lin Zhibai was about to reply when Sheng Xin turned to look at him: "Brother Zhibai, I can understand. Many people only get married once in their lives, so they value it more."
Lin Zhibai immediately lowered his head and kissed Sheng Xin on the forehead, not holding back his praise: "You are the most understanding."
Sheng Xin smiled happily and nestled even closer into Lin Zhibai's arms.
Gu Fanyan's face remained expressionless, as if she hadn't noticed anything.
Yun Suiwan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Gu Fanyan along: "Sister Fanyan, come with me to buy some chewing gum."
Once outside the bar, Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "You dragged me out here because you wanted to talk about Lin Zhibai and Sheng Xin, right?"
Yun Suiwan pursed her lips: "Why are you still giving Sheng Xin face and drinking the wine she offered?"
Gu Fanyan's smile remained unchanged: "If I don't drink, wouldn't people think that I still have feelings for Lin Zhibai?"
Yun Suiwan didn't believe it and looked at Gu Fanyan probingly, "You're not someone who cares about what others think at all."
Do you have other plans?
Gu Fanyan smiled and said, "So you see, Wanwan understands me best."
"However, my little plan is nothing to mention, so I won't tell you and spoil your mood."
She didn't want to involve Yun Suiwan as well.
Since Gu Fanyan didn't want to talk about it, Yun Suiwan didn't ask.
"Sister Fanyan, please take good care of yourself," she could only say. "I don't want anything to happen to you again."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Gu Fanyan gently shook her head.
Yun Suiwan then steered the conversation back to Sheng Xin, saying, "It's obvious that Lin Zhibai did it on purpose. Can't he see what kind of person Sheng Xin is?"
"Who is he trying to disgust?"
“Perhaps they are truly in love,” Gu Fanyan said.
"Sister Fanyan, Wanwan!" Sheng Xin's voice rang out at this moment.
She and Lin Zhibai also came out, waving their arms in their direction.
Yun Suiwan felt a tightness in her throat, as if she had swallowed a fly. "You still say you're not trying to disgust anyone? You're just sticking to this!"
I really want to swear!
