Chapter 15 Engagement Day (3)
Even though today was her and Gu Chuan’s engagement party, Mrs. Gu still found fault with Song Xuewong.
"The guests here today are all celebrities. I know you come from a small family, but as long as you can behave properly and don't embarrass our Gu family, it's okay." Mrs. Gu is almost fifty years old, because she takes good care of herself. Well, her face is much younger, she is elegant and noble, but every word she spits out makes Song Xueyuan feel like a sharp blade.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Song Xueyuan and sneered, "Today is your and my son's engagement party. What do you mean by keeping your expression on your back? Don't you like my son? Then you should be happy today. Remember "No one will bully you here. Don't act like you've been wronged and invite others to gossip."
Song Xueyuan forced herself to cheer up and smiled: "Yes, I understand."
Today she was wearing a white gauze dress, her long hair was pulled up, and she was embellished with a crystal headdress. The makeup artist combined her cute and cute features to dress her up like a princess in a fairy tale.
This should be what she envisioned herself to be like, but there were too many other things in her mind.
Although the Gu family made concessions and allowed her to be with Gu Chuan, they did not allow her to invite her parents because his father was from a low-income family and her mother had once been her father's mistress. This status appeared among celebrities. Yes, that would be a loss of face.
But, those are her parents after all.
Song Xueyuan's eyes suddenly showed Lin Chen'an lying on the hospital bed. This day that should have been a happy day actually seemed to be cast by a gloomy shadow.
Mrs. Gu wanted to continue talking. Gu Chuan came in after receiving the guests. He stood directly in front of Song Xueyuan and said calmly to his mother: "There are some elders outside. Maybe it would be more appropriate for you to go talk to them."
Mrs. Gu was holding her breath more and more in her heart. In the past, this son was the one she was most proud of and the one she least had to worry about. No matter what he did, Gu Chuan could always do well.
Mrs. Gu even had her eye on the wealthy ladies from several houses and was waiting for Gu Chuan to choose the most suitable one.
But first there was Chu Yan, who delayed Gu Chuan for seven years. Finally, without Chu Yan, Song Xueyuan appeared again. Gu Chuan seemed to be a completely different person. He was tough, rebellious, unwilling to give in, and determined to go against his parents.
If Mrs. Gu really confronts Song Xuewong, Gu Chuan will not care about his mother's face and will stand firmly on Song Xuewong's side.
This has never happened before. Even when she asked Gu Chuan to break up with Chu Yan, Gu Chuan just chose to avoid his mother and express his resistance in this way.
Mrs. Gu felt more and more that Song Xuewong was really evil!
After all, knowing that today was a day not to cause trouble, Mrs. Gu swallowed her breath and went out with a smile on her face to entertain relatives and friends from afar.
Gu Chuan held Song Xueyuan's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I will stay with you."
Song Xueyuan suddenly felt relieved. She raised her little face and smiled, "Yes, I know."
Gu Chuan added: "You are very beautiful today."
Song Xueyuan's heart moved, and the shadow belonging to Lin Chenan in her heart suddenly faded a lot, and she lowered her head shyly.
Such a dreamy engagement party was given to her by Gu Chuan.
She couldn't hesitate, she had to firm herself up.
The time was almost up, and Gu Chuan took Song Xueyuan's hand and walked out of the lounge, and happened to see the young man slumped on the sofa without a seated posture.
Shen Xing's blond hair is really eye-catching. He hasn't slept enough, and he is currently sitting on the sofa holding a mobile phone, as if he is waiting for news from someone.
Seeing Gu Chuan and Song Xueyuan, Shen Xing grinned and said, "Cousin, cousin, one of you is handsome and the other is beautiful today. You are a match made in heaven."
Song Xueyuan felt happy and politely replied: "Thank you."
She didn't have much contact with Shen Xing. She only saw him a few times at family banquets. She always felt that this young man was like a gangster and very unreliable. Today, things have changed slightly.
Gu Chuan reminded: "There are so many guests, you should pay attention to your image."
Shen Xing didn't care at all. He didn't care about other people's opinions. He only cared about his own comfort. He continued to lie down and said casually: "When are you going to get the certificate?"
He is not the only one who cares about this issue. Other relatives have also asked about it, so it is not strange for him to ask this question.
Gu Chuan replied: "Mom found someone to figure it out. The fifteenth day of next month will be a good day."
Although Mrs. Gu was very dissatisfied with Song Xueyuan, and the marriage was already engaged, and Gu Chuan was determined, she had no choice but to follow the procedure. After all, Gu Chuan was her biological son, and she still hoped that Gu Chuan would live well.
Shen Xing muttered, "It's still so long..."
His words were somewhat intriguing, and Gu Chuan was inexplicably concerned.
Shen Xing's cell phone rang suddenly, and a woman's voice seemed to come from it.
"Shen Xing, Yanyan sent me a message before and said she wanted to find you. I was in class and didn't reply in time. I just asked her where she was and she said she was in the villa. Did she go to find you..."
Before Fang Fang finished speaking, Shen Xing suddenly stood up and ran out. While running, he was still trying to call Chu Yan.
Song Xueyuan was surprised, "What's wrong with him?"
Gu Chuan said: "He has always been in a hot mood, maybe there is something urgent."
There was a lively scene on the lawn.
Gao Fei saw that Chu Yan liked to stare at the white roses that could be seen everywhere, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it beautiful? This is the engagement venue specially decorated by cousin Shen Xing. Do you also like white roses? Then you can ask Shen Xing to use a lot of them too. White Rose, he will definitely obey your wishes."
Chu Yan shook her head, "So many flowers will easily wither after one night. For a well-off family like Shen Xing and I, the expense is too wasteful."
Gao Fei had a strange expression and wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Yan's pure and clean eyes, he shut his mouth again. The guests who were talking suddenly heard a different voice.
At the tables on the left, Gu Chuan's classmates who still had contact with him in high school and university gathered.
They stared at Chu Yan with very strange expressions on their faces.
"Why is she here?"
"I didn't think she would show up."
"Is Chu Yan still unwilling to give in?"
"If you had been dating someone for seven years and he wanted to marry someone else, would you be willing to do it?"
Chu Yan's popularity was not bad when she was a student. At that time, when they learned that she and Gu Chuan were together, her classmates thought they were a good match, but Gu Chuan came from an old-fashioned family.
They knew a little bit about Chu Yan being dumped, but they still sympathized more. There were even other boys who wanted to pursue Chu Yan back then, and they still regretted why they didn't take action in the first place.
Warm applause came from the front. It turned out that today's protagonist was on stage.
Chu Yan was a little curious, but she was a little far away and couldn't see clearly.
Song Xueyuan leaned next to her tall and steady fiancé, more like a bird clinging to someone, accepting everyone's applause, and she laughed sincerely.
Gu Chuan's eyebrows were a little less cold and a little more tender. He rarely showed his true emotions. Standing with Song Xueyuan, he was like ice and snow melted by the warmth of the sun. The edges and corners were smoothed, and he also had Fresh and alive.
A very well-matched pair indeed.
Gu Chuan heard many such sighs and was about to greet others in a polite manner when suddenly a flash of red like a burning flame came out of the corner of his eye. For just a moment, it attracted all his attention.
In a world filled with pure white and green, her existence is so out of place and so eye-catching.
She stood outside the crowd, in a quiet place that was not affected by the excitement. It seemed that for a moment, her eyes fell on him through the crowd.
Gu Chuan had endured a lot of attention from Chu Yan.
Those who like, those who are angry, those who are sad, those who cry, and those who have lost themselves and are as crazy as a madman.
But what he has never been exposed to is the calmness in Chu Yan's eyes.
It was so calm that he felt like a stranger.
One of the white roses that had been used for decoration fell on the grass and landed right at her feet.
Chu Yan bent down and picked it up, then felt a little at a loss.
He could guess what she was thinking now. She didn't like to be the one being noticed, so she wanted to find someone to help deal with the flower.
Gu Chuan met her eyes again and suddenly saw the brilliance in her eyes.
Very strange.
He originally thought that after he had put down the memories of the past, it would be difficult to think of them, but he inexplicably remembered the past. They were in the library together, and when he solved a problem, she would look at her with this look. Hold yourself.
Song Xueyuan was very close to Gu Chuan, and she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Gu Chuan. He seemed to have moved a small step forward. She raised her face and noticed Gu Chuan's gaze. She then followed his gaze and saw someone. Girl in red dress.
Song Xueyuan has never met Chu Yan, but now she has a strong intuition that it must be Chu Yan.
"Wow, there's something good to watch."
Fu Juan sat on the chair and poured himself a glass of red wine. It was a pity that his wife was busy with work and did not come to the engagement party and missed the next big scene.
A big show indeed.
Gu Chuan saw Chu Yan approaching him. Her steps were brisk and the smile she unconsciously showed was bright.
Just like in the senior year of high school, when they met on the same road and were waiting to go to school together with a tacit understanding, the moment she saw him, she would run over with a smile on her face.
It seemed that the habit of sleeping for a long time was about to come out. His figure moved slightly and he felt the strength in his arm.
Song Xueyuan held his arm and smiled sweetly and softly, "Gu Chuan, everyone is waiting for you to speak."
Gu Chuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just subconsciously raised his eyes again and stopped towards the girl running towards him.
Someone had already run up to her first and held her hand.
The young man's tall figure seemed to be favored by the sun, and his enthusiasm lit up all the spots in her eyes.
They were very close, like...like a couple who had a great relationship.
Fu Juan suddenly spit out the red wine in his mouth, hurriedly wiped it with a tissue, and looked up again to make sure he had read it correctly.
Shen Xing, whom they regarded as a brat, actually held the hand of his cousin's ex-girlfriend!
