yes!
If he had been brave enough to grasp his own happiness, he wouldn't be suffering till now.
Song Yixuan stood in the circle of socialites, looking at the high and mighty Gong Nan and Ling Mei. She was envious and jealous, and didn't know if she could be as glorious as Ling Mei in her life. In a blink of an eye, she saw Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen standing next to them.
Suddenly, her eyes were filled with anger.
Xia Xingchen, why do you stand beside the prince?
She should be the one who stands by the prince's side.
Her chest felt like it was on fire, burning her cheeks red. She tilted her head back and drank the red wine in the glass, only then did she feel a little better.
She turned around and got a new cup. When she looked up, she saw Zhichen.
There were two or three celebrities surrounding Zhichen and toasting him. Zhichen couldn't refuse, so he raised his head and drank.
When she saw Zhichen, Song Yixuan thought of Zhu Ling.
So, she curled her lips, took out her mobile phone, took a video and sent it to Zhu Ling. Soon, Zhu Ling called her on WeChat.
The banquet hall was a bit noisy, so she went to a quieter place to answer the call.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhu Ling's questioning tone came from the phone, "Where are you now?"
Song Yixuan wasn't afraid to tell her, "Banquet Hall."
"Banquet hall?" Zhu Ling in the video frowned. "Is this the banquet hall that Gong Nan and his wife held for Xia Xingchen?"
She had seen the news a long time ago, but she didn't care.
Unexpectedly, Zhichen also attended the banquet held for Xia Xingchen.
Song Yixuan said "hmm" lightly.
"I'll be there soon." Zhu Ling in the video started packing.
"It may be difficult to get an invitation to the Gong family. Why are you here?" Song Yixuan asked deliberately.
"Since you're willing to tell me this, it means you must have a way to get the invitation." As she spoke, Zhu Ling had already packed up and walked out the door. "I'll be there in ten minutes at most."
Now that Yu'er had arrived, Song Yixuan went to find Jing Naisheng with confidence.
Over here...
After Zhichen politely drank the wine offered by the socialite, he made an excuse to leave.
After leaving the crowd of women, Zhichen breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Jinghan came over with a glass of wine and reminded him, "Don't focus on dealing with those socialites. Talk to Xingchen later. It will be good for your future career."
After he finished speaking, Jing Han raised his glass as he left, his eyes seemed to say: Come on, I'm rooting for you.
Zhichen understood immediately and said with relief: "Thank you, Mr. Jing."
Then, he turned his gaze to Xia Xingchen, who was wearing a black horse-faced skirt but shining brightly.
At this moment, Ling Mei and Gong Nan exchanged a glance, and then Gong Nan said in a loud voice: "Everyone, be quiet..."
The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
Gong Nan: "First of all, thank you all for coming to the banquet my husband and I hosted for Xingchen. As everyone knows, my son and Miss Xia officially announced their relationship a while ago. However, since then, Miss Xia has been criticized."
"Apart from sending a Weibo post to clarify things to Ms. Xia, my husband and I haven't taken any concrete action. Now I want to tell everyone..."
"Whether it's Gong Xia or the Gong family, Miss Xia is the popular choice, relying on her own strength!"
After hearing this, some of the ladies finally couldn't stand it anymore. They didn't dare to refute loudly and could only whisper, causing bursts of tiny noises in the hall.
Ling Mei turned a deaf ear and continued with Gong Nan's words, "You probably don't know Miss Xia's strength. Miss Xia's grandmother was the queen of sweet songs, her mother was a popular singer, her master was a music master, and she is even more famous as the composer of the Shuangxia..."
"Speaking of which, Miss Xia also comes from a musical family, making her a perfect match for my son. From now on, I hope that certain ladies from prominent families will behave themselves and stop targeting my son, because... my son is already taken."
"This person is Miss Xia Xingchen, and my husband and I only recognize her as our daughter-in-law."
Ling Mei's voice was domineering and majestic, not allowing anyone to have the slightest say.
Listening to these words, Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart. This was the first time in her life that she had experienced being openly favored by someone...
This feeling is really happy!
Gong Bingye stood there obediently. This was the first time he had stood so obediently since he was a child. He held Xia Xingchen's hand tightly, as if he was letting his parents have the final say.
It has to be said that Gong Nan and his wife are truly united and can achieve great things together. Together they are protecting Xia Xingchen, their future daughter-in-law.
Gong Bingxue was standing at the front row. After listening to Ling Mei's speech, she couldn't help but admire her. Auntie is so handsome!
Even though Ling Mei said this, some socialites who secretly liked Gong Bingye still felt uncomfortable.
Although they are not involved in the entertainment industry, their family background is not worse than Xia Xingchen's?
Why is Xia Xingchen the woman who accompanies the prince throughout his life, and not them?
"And today, besides clearing Miss Xia's name, my husband and I..." As she spoke, she took Xia Xingchen's hand, and even her voice became gentle, "This banquet is also the engagement banquet for Miss Xia and my son."
What?
Engagement party?!
This sentence was like a bomb, and everyone in the banquet hall was in an uproar.
Even the parties involved, Gong Bingye and Xia Xingchen, were shocked.
After being surprised, Gong Bingye felt even happier, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.
Dad and Mom are so awesome.
He had long planned to propose to the girl, but he knew that she was disgusted by men, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Even if he could just accompany her silently like now, he would be content.
Unexpectedly... Mom and Dad actually made the decision for him without my permission.
And...the girl didn't mind.
If Gong Bingye hadn't had a strong mental state since childhood, he would probably have fainted from joy.
Xia Xingchen looked at Ling Mei, her bright eyes filled with emotion. She spoke with a little excitement, "Auntie, I..."
Ling Mei gently patted the back of her hand, her tone so gentle that it seemed to drown her, "Good girl, don't say anything."
Li Zishu crossed her arms and smiled. She was really happy for Xia Xingchen. "They are finally together."
She glanced at him and said deliberately, "Some people don't stand a chance at all!"
There was silence for a long while.
Li Zishu turned her head and saw Ji Zhong staring at Xia Xingchen with his eyes full of melancholy. The distressed look in his eyes made Li Zishu feel a pain in her heart.
She knew that Yoshihide must be extremely sad at this time, so she did not deliberately make him angry, but stood beside him obediently.
Ji Zhong knew that Xia Xingchen liked Gong Bingye, but when Ling Mei announced in public that this was her and Gong Bingye's engagement party, he didn't see the slightest smile on her face...
She is such a cheerful person!
Now, why aren't you smiling?!
Could it be... that he really recognized the wrong person?
