100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Give Them a Surprise Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Give Them a Surprise At the engagement party, fragrances mingled with the silhouettes of dresses, and cups and conversation crisscrossed.

Gong Hannian ensured that everything at the engagement party was arranged perfectly. The Gu Family elders nodded in approval upon seeing this, and the guests praised her too. The Gu Family had not only gained a good son-in-law, but it seemed likely that before long, they would have a virtuous daughter-in-law as well.

“Hannian sister, you’ve worked hard. Take a rest!” Gu Xiaorou approached with gratitude.

“Thank you.” Qin Yao raised a glass to Gong Hannian.

Gong Hannian returned the toast, affectionately holding Gu Xiaorou’s hand, “It’s been years, and you’ve become even more beautiful! Qin Yao is truly fortunate!”

“Sister Hannian, you’re flattering me!” Gu Xiaorou said with feigned annoyance.

“I really hope Sister Hannian marries into our family soon! My brother is too slow, he isn’t afraid of someone else snatching you away! He’s always busy with work, why don’t you push him a bit!”

Gong Hannian glanced at the tall figure greeting guests not far away, “As long as his heart is with me, that’s enough.”

Even her younger sister was engaged, yet he still hadn’t made any move. She wasn’t without urgency; she was just patient.

“Do you see over there, isn’t that Doctor Mu?” Gong Hannian looked towards the distance.

“Ah! It really is! Doctor Mu!” Gu Xiaorou called out cheerfully.

“Xiao Rou, congratulations,” Mu WuXie walked over.

Gu Xiaorou: “Doctor Mu, long time no see.”

Mu WuXie: “Indeed! How have you been?”

“I’ve stabilized, and as long as I don’t face too much stress, it might not recur for a lifetime. I’m very grateful to the specialist Doctor Mu recommended.” Gu Xiaorou expressed her thanks.

“It’s only right. Xiaoqiao’s friends are my friends,” Mu WuXie replied courteously.

Back then, Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiaorou were so close, closer than sisters even; who knew that so many things would happen later.

“After all these years, are you still single, Doctor Mu?” Gu Xiaorou asked.

Mu WuXie nodded.

“However, today I did bring a date. She should arrive soon…”

After meeting Qin Yao’s inquiring gaze, Mu WuXie’s expression turned a bit unnatural.

“Leng Jing, stop drinking!”

Looking at the couple flaunting their happiness, Leng Jing wasn’t feeling so serene.

“Leave me alone.”

“Leng Jing, do you feel like attending Qin Yao and Xiao Rou’s wedding while hiding it from Xiaoqiao feels like a betrayal, and that’s why you’re feeling upset?” Tang Yu asked.

Leng Jing looked at Tang Yu in surprise, her facial expression freezing.

The idiot had actually guessed her thoughts correctly.

“Do you think I wanted to come? If I didn’t, my brother would have set me up on a blind date,” Leng Jing said angrily.

Tang Yu immediately empathized, “Elders really are a brutal species!”

“The most brutal creature is Gu Hangshen; if he hadn’t pressured my brother, my brother wouldn’t be pressuring me! If I keep pretending to be close as sisters, I’ll disgust myself! Damn! A pair of despicable people! How could Xiaoqiao have treated her back then, and how did she repay her? Ungrateful wretch! And Qin Yao, I thought he was different from other men with his seemingly ascetic demeanor, but he’s just another hypocrite and a beast in disguise!”

Leng Jing, having drunk too much, began to speak without a filter, frightening Tang Yu, who hurriedly covered her mouth.

Outside the villa.

Gong Xiaoqiao couldn’t enter without an invitation, so she called Mu WuXie.

Half a minute later, Mu WuXie hurried over but didn’t immediately take her inside; instead, he pulled her aside.

“Xiaoqiao, what exactly do you want to do?” Mu WuXie asked with concern.

Gong Xiaoqiao smiled sweetly and demurely, “Of course I’m here to attend my good sister’s engagement party! It seems they forgot to send me an invitation, so I am planning to give them a surprise.”
