Chapter 115
Yu Xue fell heavily to the ground, her mind was blank and her face was dazed, except for the passion for eating melons that was still lingering in the corners of her eyes. It was not until she felt a sudden sharp pain in her knee that she gasped in pain. Her facial features tightened uncontrollably and she couldn't help but shed tears subconsciously. Her watery eyes subconsciously looked around, looking for someone she could rely on.
But he saw Park Wenbin looking at Gu Xuan with a worried look on his face, anxiously asking if he was scared.
Yu Xue looked at the two people who were close to each other, and there was an indelible strange feeling in her heart, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
I am Park Wenbin's girlfriend, why is she suddenly so concerned about Gu Xuan, as if she has completely forgotten about me.
And just now...
I was standing on the right side of Park Moon Bin. Regardless of her status as his girlfriend or the fact that the right side was more convenient, I should have protected myself first. Why did I subconsciously go in the opposite direction to protect Gu Xuan?
Even if there is a possibility that the wrong person was brought in for protection, hasn't it been discovered yet? But... the difference between men and women is so huge, how could it have been a while and no one had noticed it?
Yu Xue felt the pain in her knees. She curled up into a ball, her face delicate and fragile, and tears fell from her eyes in grievance.
Just when I was feeling sad, I felt a warm touch on my head.
Yu Xue looked up and saw her sister-in-law looking at her worriedly.
"Does it hurt?" Nan Tao asked worriedly.
Yu Xue felt even more aggrieved. She hugged Nan Tao's slender and soft waist and sobbed softly.
I don’t know why I suddenly felt so wronged, but I just felt so wronged and wanted to cry.
"Sister Taotao." Yu Xue was so sad that she didn't even call her sister-in-law anymore. She just called her by the name that had always been following Nan Tao since she was a child.
Nan Tao touched Yu Xue's hairy little head, then checked Yu Xue's injuries, and finally concluded: "It's a bit swollen, but there are no injuries to the bones."
Then, Nan Tao turned to Nan Bo and said, "Brother, help me carry Xiao Xue to the sofa."
Yu Xue was so scared that she quickly refused: "No, no, no, I, I can walk by myself."
Nan Tao looked at Yu Xue accusingly: "How can you walk on your own when you're so injured?"
Yu Xue was still refusing. Park Wenbin, who was standing next to her, heard the argument and suddenly realized something. His face suddenly turned ugly. He quickly kept his distance from Gu Xuan and walked to Yu Xue's side. Seeing that Yu Xue was injured, he blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry, Xue, I thought I was pulling you just now. I didn't expect that I pulled the wrong person in a hurry. It's all my fault."
Yu Xue remained silent.
Park Wenbin's heart was beating wildly, and he was worried that he had exposed something in his panic just now. He quickly said, "It's all my fault. I'll carry you to sit on the sofa over there."
Yu Xue turned her head away.
Obviously expressing resistance.
Park Wenbin was anxious, fearing that all his efforts over the past few years would go to waste, so he quickly pushed the blame onto Gu Xuan, claiming that it was Gu Xuan who had just reached out to block him, and he subconsciously thought it was Yu Xue, so he saved the wrong person. In addition to his words, he also took the opportunity to belittle Gu Xuan and deliberately drew a line between the two of them.
Yu Xue looked up at Park Wenbin, then at Gu Xuan.
The smile in Gu Xuan's eyes disappeared completely. His eyes were cold and his face was pale without a trace of blood. It was even paler than the injured Yu Xue's face.
Yu Xue felt more and more strange, but she couldn't help but ask, "Are you okay?"
Gu Xuan looked at Yu Xue coldly and sneered, "You don't have to pretend to be kind." After saying that, he walked away, not forgetting his previous plan to deliberately get close to Yu Xue.
Yu Xue was at a loss.
Park Wenbin soothed him, "He is always like this, cold-blooded and selfish. Don't bother with him."
Yu Xue frowned slightly, watching Park Wenbin say such harsh words so naturally, feeling a little strange, as if the gentleman and gentle Park Wenbin who she had known for the past few years was just an illusion wearing a mask.
Park Wenbin said gently: "I'll carry you to the sofa to rest." After that, he bent slightly and prepared to hug Yu Xuegong.
Yu Xue endured the pain in her knee, avoided Park Wenbin's movements, and leaned towards Nan Tao.
Nan Tao said, "No need, you go and take care of Gu Xuan. I think he looks very unhappy. If he gets upset, it will be all over."
Park Wenbin's heart skipped a beat, but he suppressed his temper and said more gently, "He has nothing to do with me. Ah Xue is more important. Ah Xue has suffered such a serious injury, how can I leave her?"
Nan Tao was surprised, "Really? I just saw you protecting Gu Xuan very skillfully, I thought you had forgotten that you had a girlfriend by your side."
Park Wenbin forced a smile and said, "How could that be?" Then he blamed himself and said, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't accidentally protected the wrong person, Ah Xue wouldn't have been hurt. I can understand your misunderstanding. No matter how wrong it is, it's all my fault."
Nan Tao looked at Pu Wenbin and clicked her tongue twice.
Park Wenbin's scalp tingled, but he had to pretend to be calm. Finally, he couldn't help but avoid Nan Tao's sight and turned to look at Yu Xue. Her gentle eyes were tender as water, as if there were thousands of words of guilt and self-blame in her heart.
Yu Xue couldn't help but soften her heart. Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Lin Yirou's scream.
My attention was immediately drawn away. Although my knee still hurt, my spirit was not broken. No matter how painful it was, I had to finish eating the hot melon.
"Wuwuwu, Miss Li, what did I do? Why did you hit me again?" Lin Yirou's eyes were full of tears. Her silent crying made many men present feel sympathy for her. It would have been even more perfect if we ignored Lin Yirou's red and swollen face.
Li Qiuyu asked impatiently: "Who told you to seduce my fiancé?"
Lin Yirou said aggrievedly, "I didn't, how can you slander me... and you just pushed me too much on purpose, and now you hit me, wuwuwu..."
Some of the men present looked at Li Qiuyu with condemnation, as if asking how a young lady could be so unruly.
Li Qiuyu looked down on the group of middle-aged, pregnant men with disdain, and took the arm of the handsome Gu Bai. She then stood on tiptoe and gave Gu Bai a kiss on the face, boasting, "My fiancé is handsome, right? Hehe, he's mine alone."
The people watching the show were stunned by Li Qiuyu's unusual train of thought. This, this, this... this is too infuriating.
It seemed that Lin Yirou was about to faint from anger.
Yu Xue was watching with great interest, her mouth wide open with laughter. She whispered in Nan Tao's ear, "Sister-in-law, I think she's going crazy. She didn't get this red even when she was slapped in the face. Now it's so red it's almost bleeding."
Nan Tao also smiled brightly and nodded, "Yes, it's too tragic. I almost can't bear it after watching it."
Little Yu Ze looked at his aunt who was standing with a limp but still insisted on watching the excitement, and then looked at his mother who was laughing even though she said she couldn't bear it. He shook his head helplessly and said to Nan Bo like a little adult: "I feel like my aunt has corrupted my mother."
Nanbo: ???
This kid is so biased that he has reached the North Pole.
Even though he is Nan Tao's biological brother, he cannot say with a clear conscience that Nan Tao has corrupted Yu Xue.
Looking back on the past, thinking about how the cute and well-behaved Yu Xue was led astray step by step by Nan Tao, Nan Bo's mouth twitched, and he decided not to reveal the dark history of adults to the children.
Nan Tao had no idea that her dark history was almost exposed, and she and Yu Xue were still watching the bloody drama in front of them with relish.
After Lin Yirou was completely crushed by Li Qiuyu, she looked at Gu Bai pitifully. Her tear-swollen eyes seemed to tell of countless love and grievances. It would be even more perfect if we ignored her red and swollen face.
Gu Bai felt soft in his heart when he was looked at, and a natural sense of machismo arose spontaneously.
With Nan Tao next to him, Gu Bai wanted to show his gentlemanly and gentle charm, so he stood in front of Lin Yirou, like a hero descending from the sky to save the princess in distress.
Gu Bai thought of Li Qiuyu's arrogance, nonsense, and willfulness, and couldn't help but persuade her softly: "Qiuyu, forget it. She looks quite pitiful. Today's banquet is full of important guests invited by my parents. It's not good to continue like this. Let her leave first, and we can talk about compensation later."
After saying this, the two women looked at Gu Bai in disbelief at the same time.
Li Qiuyu looked incredulous, "What? You're just going to let her go like this?"
Lin Yirou couldn't believe it, Gu Bai actually let her leave? !
Gu Bai didn't realize that not only did he fail to keep the balance, he also angered two women at the same time. He was feeling proud of himself for his ability to appease them and continued to coax them with soft words.
Nan Tao laughed so hard that she couldn't help laughing. She whispered to Yu Xue, "This is the fate of a warm-hearted man. If he doesn't hold the bowl level, the water will spill."
Yu Xue nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, and asked with starry eyes in admiration: "Sister-in-law, how did you know that?"
Nan Tao analyzed seriously, "You see, he told Li Qiuyu not to care about it. In fact, he was giving face to Li Qiuyu as the principal wife. But in fact, Li Qiuyu has a domineering personality. She either wants nothing or everything. Otherwise, she wouldn't have caused such a scene. Gu Bai's earnest words just now would only make Li Qiuyu think that he let Lin Yirou leave on purpose. If you don't believe me, look, Li Qiuyu's eyes are not smiling anymore. She looks like she is smiling on the outside but not on the inside."
Yu Xue: "Wow, really, she seems to have clenched her fists."
Nan Tao continued, "Look at Lin Yirou again. She is crying even more sadly. She doesn't show any intention of leaving at all."
Yu Xue was full of questions: "Why? Gu Bai is protecting her and doing her a good deed."
Nan Tao tapped Yu Xue's head, "Since things have gotten so serious and there's no way to end it now, if we give up and quit now, what future will we have? Moreover, Gu Bai has been asking for compensation, which shows that he has accepted the blame, but he has changed it from public to private. This is also Li Qiuyu's exit, but Lin Yirou is not a pushover, so she naturally won't accept this result. Otherwise, she will lose face after making a scene today, so she must hold on tightly to the inside."
Yu Xue didn't understand. "Gu Bai and Li Qiuyu are from similar families. Their marriage is a done deal. What is she trying to do?"
Nan Tao smiled and said, "So, there are many people who cannot see their own background clearly and want to marry into a rich family. Of course, Gu Bai is not a good person either."
Yu Xue understood, "It's true that a turtle and a mung bean are a perfect match. People from the same family are alike."
After the two of them finished speaking, the three people who were the focus of the gossip were still arguing.
Finally, Father Gu said angrily, "That's enough. What's the point of making such a fuss? Take Miss Lin to the lounge first. We can talk after the banquet."
Lin Yirou breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Gu's father with loving eyes, then glared at Gu Bai sadly, and with the help of the waiter, she left the hall and went to the lounge.
Li Qiuyu was unhappy, but when she saw that it was Gu's father who showed up, she had to swallow her anger for the time being and find a chance to vent it after the banquet.
After the farce ended briefly, Yu Xue was carried to the sofa by Park Wenbin.
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows and followed with a look of anticipation.
