Qingke lay on the bed, wrapping the quilt again and again.
Her parents joined in, constantly urging her and shouting at her not to sleep in, otherwise she would be late.
She was really conflicted about whether she should go or not.
"Keke, hurry up, don't be willful. This is not a trivial matter. You can't be careless. Get up quickly. All the important people in the county are here! Hurry up." Bai Meng kept urging beside her and lifted the quilt that Qingke had wrapped tightly around her body.
"Yes! My dear daughter, you have always been very sensible. You can't make a mistake in your lifelong event and let others laugh at our family." Shang Xin saw Qingke covering her eyes tightly with her hands and curled up there motionless, so he also echoed Bai Meng.
Yes! I am the apple of the eye of the Shang family. My words and deeds, my honor and disgrace, are not only my own, but also the entire Shang family and the entire Qingshang Group.
She is willful, but that doesn't mean she has no sense of propriety.
Zheng Sheng’s words, “Otherwise I will tell you that you are pregnant with my child and you will be too embarrassed to stay in this city.” are still ringing in my ears.
At this moment, the phone in Bai Meng's bag suddenly rang. She muttered, "Look, the phone is ringing. It's the Wang family calling to urge them to do something. Keke, hurry up, get up before I get angry." She walked to the desk, took out the phone from her bag on the desk, and pressed the answer button.
The voice of Zhengsheng's mother came from the other end of the line. Zhengsheng's mother was a few years older than Bai Meng. She respectfully called Bai Meng "sister". "Hey, sister! Where are you? The guests are almost all here. We are waiting for you."
When Bai Meng heard this, her face instantly became a little embarrassed. She covered the speaker of the phone, looked at Shang Xin helplessly, lip-synced, and pointed at Qing Ke on the bed, signaling him to shout quickly.
She went to the balcony to answer the phone, fearing that Qingke would hear Shang Xin calling her to get up.
Bai Meng pretended to be helpless, "Sister! We are stuck in traffic, and I am getting very anxious. Please take care of this over there, and we will rush over as soon as possible."
When Zheng Sheng's mother heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that something might go wrong with Qing Ke. The arrow was on the string, and it was no joke. They couldn't afford to lose face with this person.
Zhengsheng was sitting next to her. Although he didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone, he could tell from the relief on his mother's face that Qingke had finally compromised.
"Okay, sister, don't worry. It won't take long. Don't worry, Lao Wang and I are here! We guarantee there won't be any chaos."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, I'll hang up first. We'll talk about it in detail when we get there."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we meet later."
The two women hung up the phones.
Zhengsheng's mother stood up and finally felt like greeting the guests. She mingled with the guests with a beaming face.
After Bai Meng hung up the phone, his face looked heavy.
She sighed deeply and turned back to Qing Ke's room.
"Shang Qingke, what are you up to today? Just say one word, are you going or not?" Bai Meng roared at Qingke who was curled up there.
Qingke saw through his fingers Bai Meng's face, which was darker than Bao Gong's.
She was very conflicted. This was clearly a trap set by Zheng Sheng for her. It was not right to go, and it was not right not to go. Either way, she would be the one who suffered.
Bai Mengjian still remained indifferent. She pointed toward the balcony and roared again, "Shang Qingke, if you don't go today, I'll jump from there immediately. Rather than being drowned in other people's spit, I'd rather die early and be free. I can't afford to lose face anyway."
As she spoke, she really stepped forward and rushed to the balcony. Shang Xin was originally lying on the edge of the bed trying to persuade Qing Ke kindly, but seeing this, he quickly stood up from the bed and followed her out the door.
"Bai Meng, what are you doing? Why are you trying to commit suicide on such a happy day?"
Shang Xin grabbed Bai Meng's arm tightly and kept persuading her.
Bai Meng struggled desperately and wrestled with Shang Xin, with half of his leg already over the railing.
"All the important people in the county are here. Can you afford to lose face like this? Of course, people will just say I'm a useless mother, how could I raise such an ignorant, disloyal and unfilial daughter. The Qingshang Group you worked so hard to build will probably become a target of public criticism tomorrow morning, and a laughing stock for the entire county. Just let me go and let me die. I'll be out of sight and out of mind."
She was crying and speaking so logically that Shang Xin didn't know how to refute her.
"Come down first. No matter how big the matter is, you should come down first."
Qing Ke just couldn't stand Bai Meng's point. She always made a big deal out of nothing. Wasn't it just a broken marriage? Was it as serious as she said?
Qing Ke felt helpless and frustrated. She was in this state, and there was no one around her who could help her. Even her best friend Dani tried to persuade her not to act on impulse, but to think about the overall situation and let her put herself first.
Although Danny was very sad and wondered how Qingke could have met such a scumbag, she was powerless and had no ability to stand up for Qingke.
Qing Ke couldn't hold it in any longer. She sat up and shouted, "That's enough. Can't I go?"
Bai Meng and Shang Xin finally stopped fighting. Bai Meng took her legs off the balcony and burst into laughter. She shook off Shang Xin's hand and hurriedly picked up the engagement dress that Qing Ke had thrown on the ground. She smiled and held it in Qing Ke's hands, "Hurry up, there's no time."
