Su Nianxue remained calm and composed, occasionally even helping Gu Yanliu pick up a piece of food with her chopsticks, looking extremely at ease.
Wu Xiaomei gritted her teeth at the sight.
That scoundrel has absolutely no sense of martial ethics.
She was so assertive in front of him, but unexpectedly, she turned around and acted weak in front of men.
I don't know what she said to Gu Yanbai, but it caused her to lose the shop she had almost gotten her hands on.
Her brother had told her before that she should run the clothing store well, and that it would be her dowry in the future.
She knew that her sister-in-law had always harbored resentment about this matter, but since her brother insisted, she had no choice but to compromise.
Now that such a big thing has happened at the store, she has no choice but to go back and ask her brother for help.
Seeing that her opportunity had come, her sister-in-law acted decisively and quickly uncovered the truth of the matter.
The couple discussed it behind closed doors, and the brother took back the clothing store and handed it over to his sister-in-law to manage.
He solemnly warned her that she was not allowed to come to Qingshui Town again and to stay away from Gu Yanbai.
If she dares to disobey, they will no longer care about her.
She was unwilling, but had no choice but to compromise.
She had wasted all her time; not only did she fail to win over the man she liked, she also lost her dowry.
Finally, when she glared at Su Nianxue for the tenth time.
Gu Yanliu couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her chopsticks down hard. "Are there things wrong with your eyes?"
Why are you glaring at my sister-in-law? What did she do to you?
Wu Xiaomei wasn't a good-natured person either.
Over the years, relying on her brother's support, she has always been the object of praise in the industry, which has also fostered a certain arrogance in her.
I've never been publicly insulted and pointed at like this before, in front of so many people.
She had been holding back her anger for the past few days, and now she saw her publicly challenging her.
She wanted to tear her apart.
However, her few remaining mental faculties were unusually clear this time.
With so many people here today, and it being someone's wedding, it would be really unsightly if things got out of hand.
"You little brat, are you just looking at me when I'm sitting right across from her?"
The other women at the table all kept their eyes down, not saying a word.
They're all here for the banquet, and they don't know each other well, so there's really no need to offend anyone unnecessarily.
"You're still trying to deny it! I clearly saw you glaring at my sister-in-law!"
Su Nianxue tugged at Gu Yanliu's sleeve and whispered, "Today is their wedding, let her off the hook for now, we can wait until later..."
She gave Wu Xiaomei a sinister look. Gu Yanbai had said that from now on, she didn't need to worry about anyone's feelings.
Having received his confirmation, what else did she have to worry about?
If she dares to provoke her again in the future, she'll definitely "teach her a lesson".
Gu Yanliu thought about it and realized that it was true; arguments shouldn't happen at a wedding!
Otherwise, it would just bring bad luck to the newcomers for no reason.
She glared at Wu Xiaomei and pinched her wrist.
If she dares to act like that again, she will definitely not hold back.
Wu's wife also gave Wu Xiaomei a sharp look, warning her to behave herself.
The argument ended just like that, without causing a ripple.
The atmosphere at the three tables of men was incredibly lively, with everyone taking turns drinking with Zhou Mingjie.
Zhou Mingjie welcomed everyone, and for a time the noise was incredibly loud.
No one noticed the little incident at their table.
Time flew by and it was evening.
The guests who came to the banquet have all left, and there are no elders or anything like that in their family.
For a moment, only Zhou Mingjie and his new wife remained in the courtyard.
He drank a few too many drinks today and slept soundly all afternoon.
He didn't open his eyes until it was completely dark.
He was actually awakened by thirst.
He rubbed his temples, about to get up to get some water, when he saw a clean glass on the bedside table.
It was filled with more than half a cup of warm water, apparently prepared especially for him.
Who would have thought that Zhou Mingjie would one day be waited on by others?
He picked up the cup and gulped it down.
After drinking some water, my dazed mind cleared up a bit.
He got up and went outside. When he saw the figure in the kitchen, his eyes flickered.
Although he entered into this marriage unwillingly.
But now that she's married, they're a couple.
As for how he will live the rest of his life, he can only say that it's up to fate.
Today is the first day of their marriage, and he needs to set some rules for her.
He can't be like Gu Yanbai, who is one way before marriage and another way after.
Not only did he quit smoking, but he also only drank a little bit of alcohol, and he cleaned himself up thoroughly every day.
They say his wife is very clean and can't stand any smell.
In his opinion, he's just being pretentious!
Manliness, manliness! If a man doesn't have a certain scent, can he still be called a man?
It was only because that person was Gu Yanbai that he managed to hold back from cursing him.
If it were anyone else, he would have broken off all ties with them on the spot.
What the heck?
He made a decision in his heart at that moment, even though he had no intention of getting married in his life.
But what if...
If we ever get married, he won't be like him!
He's become someone he doesn't recognize because of a woman.
The person in the kitchen noticed his gaze, turned around abruptly, and upon seeing it was him, their eyes brightened instantly. "You're up?"
Zhou Mingjie nodded, but remained silent.
Yang Hongxing said softly, "Does your head hurt? Don't drink so much in the future. It's so uncomfortable to be drunk! Look at how much you threw up this afternoon."
