the knife of love

Chapter 92 Engagement banquet, embarrassing situation
The Su and Yao families were engaged, and the local media and industry magazines began to report on it two days earlier.

At noon on the day of the engagement, close relatives of the Su and Yao families met for dinner. According to Yunling's custom, the man gave the bride price to the woman, which was regarded as a marriage agreement. Generally, no outsiders would be present on such occasions, except lawyers.

As for why the lawyer is here, it can only be said that there are many unwritten rules in the upper class, each has a net worth, and if you have too much money, you are afraid that others will think about it. Even if you are about to become the closest person in the world, you must guard against each other.

Su Hongzhi wanted to guard against Yao Haizheng, and Yao Haizheng also wanted to guard against the Su family, so the lawyer had to ask the two parties to sign something similar to a prenuptial agreement.

The external banquet is in the evening.

The marriage between a jewelry tycoon and a bank tycoon is considered an annual event in the business world. Both Su and Yao have invited many familiar political and business celebrities, and naturally there are many media.

Yao Xiaotang was the protagonist that day, and in the afternoon, she sent Tang Jingcheng a photo of her and Su Jue offering tea to their elders. The girl in the photo was wearing a light purple custom-made gauze dress, her long hair was coiled up, and her eyes were bright and her teeth bright.

Tang Jingcheng thought at the time, if aside from her slight IQ deficiency, Yao Xiaotang is really a very cute girl, she doesn't have Miss Qianjin's temper, she doesn't have messy bad habits, and more importantly, she has a pure mind and is devoted to Su Jue.

Tang Jingcheng looked at the couple in the photo, envious but also moved.

At dusk, Yao Xiaotang called Tang Jingcheng again.

"Sister, have you seen the photo of me and Brother Su?"

"I see, you are very beautiful today, and you will definitely amaze everyone in the evening."

"Really?" Yao Xiaotang was a little embarrassed, "Then when will you come?"

"Me? Later, I don't know anyone else." Tang Jingcheng really didn't like this kind of occasion, but he didn't want to disappoint Yao Xiaotang.

Yao Xiaotang urged a few more words, and hung up the phone hastily.

But Tang Jingcheng was late after all, she did it on purpose.

The dinner party over there had already started, so she directly handed in the post, the wine was full of wine, the scene was grand and exquisite, and there were too many people of all colors,
Tang Jingcheng had a headache for this kind of occasion, so she wanted to send blessings to Su Jue and Yao Xiaotang in person before leaving. She was looking for the party in the crowd, but Yao Xiaotang saw her first.

"Sister..." shouted all the way.

Tang Jingcheng turned his head, and Yao Xiaotang was walking towards him. He was indeed wearing the bright red cheongsam inlaid with gold, and on his chest was the butterfly brooch she had given earlier.

"Sister, why didn't you come here until now?" Yao Xiaotang muttered and pretended to complain.

Tang Jingcheng smiled: "It's not too late, as long as there is time."

"Then you can come to accompany me earlier, this kind of occasion is really boring." Yao Xiaotang seemed a little tired and unhappy.

Tang Jingcheng immediately asked: "Why are you bored? This is your engagement banquet."

"I know, but my marriage with Brother Su is obviously just our business. What does it have to do with so many irrelevant people? Besides, Brother Su has been busy entertaining guests, so he doesn't pay much attention to me."

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help laughing: "So you are so clingy, after tonight he will belong to you alone, don't you want to be jealous with these guests!"

"I don't, sister, don't laugh at me!" Yao Xiaotang pursed her lips to cover it up, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she shouted behind Tang Jingcheng, "Brother Su, sister is here."

Tang Jingcheng was taken aback by her, and when he turned around, Su Jue had already unknowingly walked behind her.

"Coming?" Su Jue asked naturally, expressionless.

Tang Jingcheng felt her heart sink, like a ghost, she always felt that there was something dark in the man's eyes when he looked at her.

"Here we are." She nodded slightly, and looked at Yao Xiaotang again with a smile: "Congratulations, happy wedding."

"That's not it." Yao Xiaotang was shy and anxious, "Brother Su and I are just engaged today, not... officially married yet."

"That's about the same. He has already proposed to you, and you have also worn his engagement ring. Today, so many people witnessed you being together, and there is only one more formality left." Tang Jingcheng said with a smile.

Yao Xiaotang secretly looked at Su Jue, his eyes were full of sweet joy.

Tang Jingcheng saw all this in her eyes, the happy woman seemed to have even her hair made of sugar, she was really happy for Yao Xiaotang.

"When are you going to have the wedding?"

Yao Xiaotang: "The second half of the year."

Su Jue: "Next year!"

The two answered in unison, but the answers were different. Tang Jingcheng was a little embarrassed, but Su Jue explained with a chuckle: "This year, the company has just started several projects and will be a little busy. Although I have the heart, I may not have the spare energy. Tangtang and I don't want to rush into the lifelong event, I believe Tangtang will understand."

The implication was that he was considering Yao Xiaotang's feelings. Yao Xiaotang was so moved that he went over to hold his arm immediately: "Brother Su, I know you are very busy. I won't rush you. You will arrange everything. Anyway... Anyway, I have already worn you your ring, it will be yours for the rest of your life..."

It was so sour, but Yao Xiaotang was sincere.

Tang Jingcheng coughed unavoidably: "Well... I have something to do in a while, and I may need to leave early, so I won't say much about it. I wish you all the best. Especially you..."

She fixed her eyes on Su Jue's face, and smiled with her lips curled up, threatening and joking: "Don't bully Tangtang, don't let Tangtang down, or I won't let you go!"

Su Jue's eyes moved, and finally there was a little expression on his always calm face.

"Of course not, please rest assured, Miss Tang!"

"That's good, don't talk to me here, there are so many guests today, you go and get busy." Tang Jingcheng wanted to drive them away, and went back after turning around, but just as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting behind him .

"Ajue, come, let me introduce you to someone."

Su Jue looked over Tang Jingcheng's shoulder first, his face suddenly turned cold.

Tang Jingcheng didn't know what happened, but when she was about to turn around, she heard a familiar male voice behind her. Several people had already approached and stood behind her.

"Don't bother Hong Ye introduced me, I already know Mr. Ling!"

"Really? Mr. Guan knew Ah Jue before?"

"Yes, Father, Mr. Guan and I have dealt with each other a little bit because of certain things." Su Jue answered with an expression on his face.

Guan slightly curled his lips and smiled: "It's just that we don't have a deep friendship. It's really an honor to be able to attend the engagement banquet between Mr. Su and Ms. Yao today." He nodded slightly and said a word of politeness.

Lou Qingxiao, who was sitting next to her in a wheelchair, had a different attitude: "Mr. Su and Ms. Yao's marriage is a major event in Yunling recently. It's the first time I saw two real people. I didn't expect that the real people are more suitable than the photos. , they are a pair of golden boy and jade girl, Master Hong is really blessed."

The words were so beautiful that even Yao Xiaotang felt embarrassed.

"Thank you, sister, may I ask who is..."

"Miss Lou is Mr. Guan's fiancée." Su Hongzhi interjected, "I have long known that Mr. Guan has a fiancée hidden at home. The two have been dating for many years. It is said that they have a very good relationship. Today is also the first time I see Miss Lou. I heard that you The happy event with Mr. Guan is coming soon, I wonder when we can have the wedding wine for the two of you?"

"Hurry up, brother Jiu said that we will do it after a while." Lou Qingxiao didn't shy away from it at all, and after she finished speaking, she gave Guan Lue an affectionate glance.

Tang Jingcheng never looked back, standing in front of Su Jue and Yao Xiaotang, she couldn't see the expressions of the people behind her, but she could hear the conversation.

It's like a light is on my back, and I don't feel my chest tightening.

This scene was too embarrassing for her, she didn't expect Guan Lue to come, let alone bring Lou Qingxiao with him, if she knew that she would meet here, she would never show up.

Now that this is the case, the only thing she can think of is to escape.

Just when she was about to walk away without anyone noticing, Lou Qingxiao called out familiarly first: "Xiao Tang, is it Xiao Tang?"

"..."

I can't even walk now.

Tang Jingcheng bared his lips and turned his head with a smile: "Miss Lou."

"It's really you? I thought it looked like you when I saw the back, but I didn't expect it was really you."

"Heh..." Tang Jingcheng could only laugh dryly.

Yao Xiaotang didn't know anything, and asked curiously: "Did Miss Lou know her sister before?"

"Yes, I know, this world is small." Lou Qingxiao responded calmly, "Xiao Tang went to my birthday last time, and she is also very familiar with Brother Nine, Brother Nine, right?"

Guan Lue didn't speak, Tang Jingcheng couldn't see his expression, she felt that she couldn't stay any longer, there were too many people in the banquet hall, the lights were too bright, and the air became thinner and thinner.

She picked the crystal pendant at the waist of the skirt with her hands.

"Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Tang Jingcheng walked past without even looking at Guan.

The tip of Guan Lue's tongue brushed the roots of the teeth, and Su Jue let out a muffled snort.

Lou Qingxiao's hands were always resting on her knees, her face was as usual.

Only Su Hongzhi, he turned his head and watched Tang Jingcheng's back leave, disappearing into the crowd, the cold light in his eyes gathered more and more.

……

Tang Jingcheng ran to the bathroom in one breath, locked herself in the small grid, and vomited into the dark. She hadn't eaten anything for almost a day, and she collapsed after vomiting. She sat on the toilet and took out the medicine from the bag. After swallowing one piece, he sat in it for nearly half an hour before recovering, his whole body covered in sweat.

As soon as the door opened, Lou Qingxiao sat on the wheelchair and stared at her blankly.

Tang Jingcheng really regretted coming to the engagement banquet by herself today. She was really exhausted, and she didn't bother to be polite to Lou Qingxiao. She wanted to go out when she didn't see her, but Lou Qingxiao turned the wheelchair and asked coldly: "Miss Tang , I didn’t expect to see you here.”

The tone was very rude, but it made Tang Jingcheng sigh.

"That's right, this should be your normal attitude towards me." Xiao Tang Xiao Tang shouted before, Tang Jingcheng felt disgusted even if she wasn't disgusted.

Lou Qingxiao snorted: "Miss Tang is too worried, I don't have any grudges against you, I just wonder why I can see you everywhere."

"The road to Yuanjia is narrow!" Tang Jingcheng supported the pool to stabilize himself, "Or Miss Lou thinks I came here on purpose?"

"Not necessarily so."

"Joke, what's wrong with me? Come to see Guan Lue?"

"Is not it?"

Tang Jingcheng couldn't bear it anymore. Before she went to Thyme, Lao Mai said that she did it on purpose, and now she also said that she did it on purpose when she attended a wedding banquet.

Who did she provoke?She came all the way to suffer this crime?

"Miss Lou, you don't have to be so suspicious, and you don't have to deliberately come to the toilet to block me. A few days ago, I saw him in Thyme. Treat it as an imaginary enemy!"

Tang Jingcheng said that she had lost control of her emotions later, and she used her fingers to pick at the pool next to her.

Lou Qingxiao let out a sigh of relief: "Miss Tang, don't need to be so excited, I just asked casually, I know what brother Jiu thinks in his heart, he has slept with too many women over the years, and you are just one of them. It can’t be big, but it’s inevitable that sometimes women are more greedy, and they can do anything when they feel cheap.”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The meaning is very clear. As long as you stop pestering Brother Jiu, I believe Brother Jiu will not see you again!"

Tang Jingcheng's fingers were about to bleed.

"Okay, then I swear, I swear, I will never see Guan Lue again, and please don't warn me one by one, I will never see him again, never, and I will go out and be arrested if I see you again." Is it okay to say that the car was hit and killed? Mrs. Guan in the future!!!"

Lou Qingxiao couldn't help laughing.

"Miss Tang, if you're really excited, what are you doing?"

"roll!"

"I'm just..."

"Get out, get out!"

Tang Jingcheng picked up the soap box in hand and threw it over.

Lou Qingxiao has the foundation of Lianjiazi, she nimbly dodges, snorts, turns the wheelchair and leaves.

Tang Jingcheng supported the pool table and turned around. The face of the person in the mirror was like white paper, shaped like a ghost, and footsteps sounded behind her. Someone picked up the soap box on the ground and approached her...

"Get out!" Tang Jingcheng yelled and turned around, his body went limp, but a strong arm around her waist encircled her.

Between sobriety and sinking, she saw those frighteningly cold eyes.

"Go for it if you like it, why should you be wronged like this?" Su Jue's face was stern.

Tang Jingcheng twitched his eyelashes, and let out a little laugh on his chest.

How does she fight for it?Why is she fighting for it?She doesn't care about that man at all.

"let me go!"

"Tang Jingcheng!"

"Let go of me!!!" She pushed Su Jue away, stumbled out with her bag.

Su Jue looked at herself in the glasses and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Go for it if you like it!" What qualifications does he have to say this?
Su Jue stood by the sink in the bathroom for a while, and then went out after gathering his emotions. Yao Xiaotang came up to meet him.

"Brother Su, did my sister leave? I saw her running out just now?"

Su Jue's thoughts sank.

How could she go back alone in that state?

Su Jue took out his mobile phone and called Tang Jingcheng, but no one answered, and then he was dragged by Yao Xiaotang to toast.

Su Hongzhi has been with Guan Lue all the time, seemingly carelessly, but with ulterior motives.

Su Zhan was also there, but he was very depressed that night. Looking at Su Jue's beauty, he seemed to have hundreds of thorns stuck in his heart.

It was already late when the banquet ended, Lou Qingxiao had already gone back earlier, Su Jue and Yao Xiaotang were standing at the entrance of the hotel to see off the guests, when they suddenly received an unfamiliar call.

"Excuse me, are you Tang Jingcheng's family member? An Audi A5 she was driving had a traffic accident in the urban area..."
