Chapter 1 The Engagement Banquet
In the bustling city center, in a magnificent five-star hotel, an engagement ceremony is being held.
Wearing a down jacket and carrying a backpack, Gu Xiaoxiao stood in a banquet hall full of celebrities and rich businessmen in suits and evening gowns, looking so ridiculous and out of place.
She came to celebrate her boyfriend's birthday, but here is such a scene.
"Xiao Xiao, I have something to tell you."
After standing there and being watched for a long time, Gu Xiaoxiao finally saw the person she was looking for.
Mu Yunfan walked in front of her with strides, grabbed her arm and wanted to go to a corner where she would not be noticed, and speak clearly to her.
"Gu Xiaoxiao, you are welcome to attend the engagement banquet between me and Yunfan." The way was blocked, Gu Xiaoxiao looked at the woman in front of her in confusion.
She was wearing delicate makeup, with a disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth. Without anyone's permission, she took Mu Yunfan's arm and stared into Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"The engagement banquet for the two of you?" Gu Xiaoxiao felt that there seemed to be a problem with her hearing. She looked at Mu Yunfan with a smile, and looked at this man who had known her childhood sweetheart for more than ten years. Gu Xiaoxiao said softly : "Yunfan, this joke is not funny."
"Xiaoxiao." Mu Yunfan looked directly at Gu Xiaoxiao, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't know the person in front of him. "You don't really think I'm going to marry you, do you?"
"Today is the engagement banquet for Jin Jing and I. We have decided to get married after the Chinese New Year. I brought you here to tell you about it."
Mu Yunfan's words passed into Gu Xiaoxiao's ears word by word, hitting her eardrums and stinging her eyes.
It was obviously a banquet hall as warm as summer, but Gu Xiaoxiao only felt cold. Like a bucket of ice water being poured from her head, the cold feeling pierced through her limbs and bones in an instant.
They had known each other for fifteen years, and Gu Xiaoxiao also thought that they would have many fifteen years, and they could look back together when they were old.
They talked on the phone this morning, and they discussed how they would celebrate his birthday today. She ran around all day just to find a suitable gift for him. But at the end of all this, there is only one sentence, you don't really think that I will marry you, do you?
That's right, she really thought that he would marry her and take care of her for the rest of his life just like he promised at the beginning.
He was obviously her boyfriend, but he seemed to be the last to know about his engagement.
Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and looked around helplessly. The tip of her nose was reddish, and tears kept glistening in her eyes, but no tears fell.
Jin Jing looked at Gu Xiaoxiao's bewildered look, and the cruel and contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth widened a bit. He waved his hand and called the waiter not far away.
"Xiaoxiao, don't you plan to toast us on such a happy day?"
It was a beautiful goblet, and the red liquid inside was shaking with Jin Jing's movements. Gu Xiaoxiao is not good at drinking, but she knows that she must drink this glass of wine.
She has never been a stalker, if Mu Yunfan hadn't grasped her point, she would never have dared to be so bold.
Taking the wine glass, Gu Xiaoxiao sighed softly.
"Okay." She said slowly, trying not to look so embarrassed. "Mu Yunfan, I wish you all the best of luck and have a son soon."
