Chapter 99 Are you coming at night?
Ms. Su's voice came with a hint of reminder.
Liang Jingwan blinked and suddenly came back to her senses. Gu Zhengchen, who was sitting directly opposite, stared at her with interest. She was shocked. Aren't she afraid of being discovered by her father when he looked at her like this?
Liang Jingwan didn't know why, she just felt something was wrong. After silently looking around, her eyes suddenly became a little dull, because everyone at the table was looking at her, and everyone was smiling.
She lowered her head and lowered her voice to ask Ms. Su next to her what happened.
Ms. Su smiled and said, "Control yourself and stop staring at others."
In the eyes of others, it seemed that Liang Jingwan was staring directly at Gu Zhengchen.
"I..." Liang Jingwan couldn't argue, and it couldn't be said that she was distracted for a while when she looked at Gu Zhengchen, so she had to obediently focus on the dishes in front of her.
Lao Liang, who was sitting on the other side, felt something was wrong, but he didn't think about it that way.
Birthday banquets are all very similar, with the same process.
Liang Jingwan lowered her head to sip Coke, but stared longingly at the red wine on the turntable. There were fifteen people on the table, and she was the only one drinking Coke. Even Liang Mingyuan drank wine.
She drank Coke dissatisfiedly. The consequence of drinking too much was that she wanted to go to the bathroom. After whispering to Ms. Su in a low voice, she got up and left.
After walking out of the bathroom, my stomach was already half full, so I didn't rush back and leaned against the window to enjoy the cool breeze for a while.
The wind picked up the long hair that was scattered around her shoulders and neck, covering her face. Liang Jingwan raised her hand to brush it away, and heard several laughters in her ears.
Liang Jingwan held her breath and listened quietly in the corner. She didn't expect that the protagonist was actually her.
A female voice said, "I thought the Liang family would sit at the main table."
Another female voice said, "After all, I'm not engaged, so it shouldn't be a good idea to sit at the main table."
"Oh, it doesn't matter whether we are engaged or not. Liang Jingwan is the grandson-in-law arranged by Mr. Xi. You came too late and didn't see me. Before the banquet started, Mr. Xi called Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng to go. The birthday banquet is not over yet. Now they are on the popular list. All accounted for half of it.”
"Besides, I didn't see the dress Liang Jingwan was wearing. Let me tell everyone clearly."
"..."
Liang Jingwan frowned when she heard this, and turned on her phone. Just as they said, half of them were on the popular list. She browsed carefully and saw that most of the titles were nothing more than about good things coming soon.
Not in the mood to continue enjoying the scenery, Liang Jingwan opened her legs and was stopped as soon as she entered the banquet hall.
"Xiaowan."
Liang Jingwan raised her eyes and looked at Xi Jingcheng's second aunt, Xi Yizhen. She raised a smile and said, "Aunt Yizhen."
Xi Yizhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "The old man was talking about you. When he saw that you were not at the table, he asked me to come and find you."
"Mr. Xi, do you have something to do with me?"
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just..."
The two people walked and talked, and when they arrived at the main table, they exchanged pleasantries again. Liang Jingwan was fine with everyone else, but she looked at Lu Shuning with a bit of dissatisfaction.
After all, she thought that Lu Shuning had someone send out the news online.
If Lu Shuning knew what Liang Jingwan was thinking at this time, he would definitely accuse her of being wronged. It was really not her who sent the news this time.
Liang Jingwan took a sip of soda, and the liquid in the red wine glass was still steaming.
Xi Yimin pushed Xi Jingcheng's forearm and said, "Go and toast your Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang."
Leaving aside Liang Jingwan, Xi Jingcheng and Liang Mingyuan were on good terms, so it was natural that they should go. Xi Jingcheng said "Oh", holding his own wine glass, and followed Liang Jingwan, and the two of them walked towards the secondary table.
Gu Zhengchen crossed his legs and dusted the cigarette ashes into the white porcelain plate. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the two of them with a calm face. They were wearing ties and dresses of the same color, as if they were not having a birthday party at this time. , but at the wedding banquet of Liang Jingwan and Xi Jingcheng.
Now that they are here, it is naturally impossible to honor just two people, especially since the second-chair table is full of people who are closely related to the Xi family. Xi Jingcheng paid tribute to everyone on the table.
After going around in a circle, it was Gu Zhengchen at the end.
When Xi Jingcheng approached, Gu Zhengchen slowly pressed the cigarette into the white porcelain plate, picked up the wine glass, and drank the wine with Xi Jingcheng, his eyes fixed on Liang Jingwan.
Liang Jingwan was frightened by this sight. Finally, she felt guilty again and lowered her head secretly. However, after a few seconds, she realized why she felt guilty. She raised her hand to pick up a strand of hair and put it in her ear. After that, he glared at Gu Zhengchen calmly.
Lao Liang and Ms. Su were talking to the people around them and had no time to pay attention to her. Liang Jingwan secretly picked up the bottle and poured herself a glass of red wine.
Before the red wine reached his mouth, his elbow was bumped by the person next to him. The red liquid spilled from the mouth of the cup, flowing down along his chin and chest.
Liang Jingwan closed her eyes. The last moment she closed her eyes, she saw Gu Zhengchen who was smiling but not smiling.
"Sorry, sorry, Sister Xiaowan..."
Xi Jingcheng swallowed, knowing that he had caused trouble, and apologized repeatedly.
Xi Jingcheng's apology attracted the attention of people at the surrounding tables.
Liang Mingyuan immediately took off his suit and covered it in front of Liang Jingwan, so only Liang Jingwan and Gu Zhengchen, who was sitting opposite her and looking at her, could fully see the scene.
Fortunately, Liang Jingwan only poured a small glass. The dress was stained with wine, especially on the chest, and she could no longer wear it. She followed the waiter to the lounge.
Just...
She didn't expect that something like this would happen, and she didn't bring any extra dresses, so she could only wait for someone to pick them up.
The red wine seeped into the dress and stuck to her skin. The cold feeling was really uncomfortable, and Liang Jingwan frowned slightly.
There was a stampede outside the door, and soon a knock on the door came in. Ms. Su went to open the door.
Lin Yuan held a paper bag in his hand and greeted with a smile, "Mrs. Liang, Director Gu has prepared a dress in his car and asked me to deliver it to Miss Liang."
Ms. Su's eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was something unclear in her eyes. She showed a business smile and said politely: "Thank you, Director Gu, for me."
Lin Yuan nodded, then turned and left.
Ms. Su closed the door and handed the paper bag to Liang Jingwan.
When Liang Jingwan changed into her dress and walked out, Ms. Su's eyes flashed.
The dress is based on gray, with sections of shimmering gauze as thin as cicada wings. Sunflowers made of white gauze cluster around the upper body and are also embedded in the skirt. The stamens are made of gold threads and gems, creating a fairy-like and elegant skirt.
Indescribably beautiful.
By the time Liang Jingwan and Ms. Su walked back to the banquet hall, Xi Lao's birthday banquet had come to an end. Xi Bureau was seeing off guests at the door. Liao Qihua was no longer standing next to him. When he saw Liang Jingwan, he apologized rather embarrassedly.
Liang Jingwan smiled and said, "It's okay, Xi Jingcheng didn't mean it."
After greetings, the Liang family left first. Liang Jingwan walked around the revolving door and saw the familiar car parked at the door. Her phone vibrated with an incoming message.
Liang Jingwan glanced down and saw a text message from Gu Zhengchen, "Come tonight?" ]
Although she didn't say anything, Liang Jingwan felt like there was a small hook in her heart, constantly pulling at her heart.
When she arrived, she and Liang Mingyuan were in the same car. At this moment, the parking attendant had parked the car at the door. Ms. Su and Lao Liang were still around, so the risk of being discovered was extremely high.
To go or not to go?
