Chapter 1317 Brother's Pain

Forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he smiled sincerely: "Mr. Mu and Mr. Lu took the time to accompany my sister to my engagement banquet despite their busy schedules. I am really grateful. However, I have troubled you both to take care of me. My sister is not doing well either, so I’d better ask Xiaohe to follow me to where my relatives and friends are sitting.”

"No need!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, the two men refused in unison.

With such a uniform appearance, those who didn't know it thought they had trained in advance, and Xia He was shocked.

"Xiaohe is my female companion, so naturally she wants to be with me." Lu Jing smiled warmly, as if he was not the one who spoke anxiously just now.

"Yes, Lu Jing came in specifically with Xiaohe. How do they look like sitting separately now?" Mu Beisen nodded and said seriously, "And you have never declared your identity as brother and sister before. Xiaohe is just like this Sit there, what do outsiders think?"

"What Mr. Mu said is absolutely true." Lu Jing nodded slightly, "Xiaohe doesn't know the other people, so I'm afraid he would feel uncomfortable sitting there."

Xia He's eyes widened. The two people who were bickering like black-eyed roosters just now, why are they singing and singing in harmony now?
"Xiaohe, what do you think?" Just when she was dumbfounded, Gu Chengyu glanced at the two men who were working together in a cold way, and then asked her opinion.

"I..." Xia He was a little stuck for a moment.

She looked at the two men beside her with a headache, and finally said: "Let's just sit here. Brother, you go and do your work first. There is no need to rush to take care of me."

If she went over and sat down, these two guys might find excuses to follow her, and they would be embarrassed in front of the eldest brother's relatives.

Seeing what Xia He said, Gu Chengyu had no choice but to nod and glance at the two men sideways, "Okay, I'll go over first. If you need anything, call me anytime."

"Okay." Xia He nodded quickly with a smile.

Gu Chengyu smiled back, ignored the two guys beside her, and turned around to leave.

Only then did Xia He realize that there seemed to be many eyes around him staring at him.

Goosebumps appeared all over her body, and she quickly sat down with a smile. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled the clothes of the two people beside her, signaling them to sit down.

The two men felt their clothes being pulled and quickly took a quick look and found that it was Xia He's small movement.

They all showed a slightly doting smile in unison, and then looked at Xia He at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Xia He happened to sit down when he saw it.

Their eyes met directly in the air.

In an instant, silent electric sparks burst out in the air, making everyone around them excited. Only Xia He lowered his head in embarrassment.

At nine o'clock, the bell rang, and everyone in the hall fell silent for an instant.

The man in black dress walked lightly to the front door, bowed slightly, and the music gradually started playing in the hall.

As the emcee said, "Mr. Gu Chengyu and Miss Feng Nian are invited to enter!"

The hall door slowly opened, and under the dazzling lights, the handsome and handsome Gu Chengyu, dressed in a blue suit, walked out with Feng Nian, who was as bright as a rose.

The two men are talented and beautiful, and they seem to be a perfect match.

Xia He looked at it and couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Feng Nian still looked very pleasant when he didn't speak.

While she was deep in thought, the two of them had already walked through the venue hand in hand, one with a faint smile and extraordinary handsomeness, the other shy and full of love.

The hostesses on both sides kept showering flowers. Every time the two of them passed through a flower door, cold fireworks would be sprinkled from the gaps between the leaves of the flowers, like countless stars falling, dazzling people's hearts.

Suddenly, the two protagonists stood still in front of the stage.

People applauded and congratulated in unison.

"Everyone!" The head of the Gu family stood on the stage: "Today, I, the younger generation of the Gu family, Gu Chengyu, am engaged to Miss Feng Nian of the Feng family. Thanks to the great favor, I would like to come and have a glass of wine. I would be very grateful..."

Xia He listened to the words of the head of the Gu family on the stage and sighed slightly in his heart. After all, it was a marriage between big families, and the engagement ceremony was so grand.

I think back when she and Mu Beisen got married, not only was there no ceremony, but few people even knew about it.She sighed and looked at Mu Beisen subconsciously.

The clinker happened to meet Mu Beisen's eyes as he looked over.

In an instant, the two eyes intertwined, seemingly saying nothing, and then seeming to say everything.

Xia He paused slightly.

Was he... thinking about that just now?
Just as she was thinking this, Mu Beisen said softly: "Xiaohe, I really wronged you before. In the future, I will double the compensation. Our engagement ceremony will be ten times grander than this."

Xia He paused in her heart. If she had heard this sentence six years ago, she would have been ecstatic and extremely sweet.

But now...she just feels like this sentence is like an expired delicacy.

"What is Mr. Mu talking about?" Lu Jing heard Mu Beisen's words from the side, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but there was only a faint elegant smile on his face, as if he didn't hear clearly, he said, "Xiaohe, Speaking of which, our engagement should also be put on the agenda, right?"

"Hmm...huh?" Xia He originally nodded and prepared to respond, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

She and Mu Beisen said before that they were getting engaged. Wasn't it because she rejected Mu Beisen for acting?

Why is Lu Jing bringing this up now?
She turned her head, looked at Lu Jing with wide eyes, and kept winking at him.

Lu Jing seemed to not be able to understand her eyes, and continued to ask: "Speaking of which, the hotel should be booked, right? Where do you want to book it then? In my opinion, we can book it on a cruise ship, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Xia He was dumbfounded. She subconsciously looked at Mu Beisen beside her and found that his face was ashen.

Her words were stuck in her throat for a moment. It was not good to say yes, and it was not good to say no.

"Xiao He, do you really want to marry him?" Before Xia He could think of how to answer, Mu Beisen, who had already been gloomy and dripping with tears, looked directly at her with a pair of red eyes.

Her eyes flickered and she laughed twice, "Ha, yes."

After she finished speaking, Mu Beisen's eyes instantly flashed with unbelievable despair. Is she really going to get married?Do you really want to marry Lu Jing?

At this moment, his heart felt ice cold to the bone...

It turned out that Xiao He really wanted to marry Lu Jing. What she said before was true. She would not give herself another chance.

Six years ago, what he missed was a lifetime. It was him who pushed her away bit by bit with his own hands...

Mu Beisen lowered his eyes, turned his head away abruptly, and looked towards the stage.

When Lu Jingyi saw this, ecstasy flashed in his eyes. He pressed the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Xiaohe, let's go back and choose again. Let me think about it. If it doesn't work, I will also designate a few islands under my name. You just pick one.”

"Haha... Okay." Xia He nodded absently, but his eyes quietly looked at Mu Beisen aside.

However, Mu Beisen was not looking back at this moment. It seemed that all his attention was attracted by the newcomers on the stage. Xia He had no choice but to turn his head and look at the stage without saying anything else.

After a while, the engagement ceremony officially ended.

Gu Chengyu took Feng Nian to each table to toast.

By the time they reached Xia He's table, the two of them were already a little tipsy.

Looking at the gentle and touching Xia He, Gu Chengyu suppressed the nostalgia in his eyes and raised his wine glass.

Feng Nian was the first to say: "Xia He, I'm glad you can come to our engagement ceremony, and I wish you can find your own happiness as soon as possible."

Seeing the unconcealed pride in her eyes, Xia He felt that all his good appetite had been drained away.

She smiled faintly and raised her glass: "Thank you for your blessing. I also wish you and your brother a happy and loving life."

Gu Chengyu looked at her with faint eyes. After hearing this, a faint bitter smile appeared on his face. Before anyone could see clearly, he raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass.
