NOVEL WEB Chapter 116 Are you sure you read that correctly?
After entering the house, Shu Yan returned the coat to Ji Lingchuan and kept a certain distance from him.
After all, they are wearing couple's clothes now, and it would be a big misunderstanding if others see them.
Bai Sisi had a dark face all the way. Fortunately, she had prepared her jewelry in advance, otherwise she would have appeared here empty-handed and unadorned!
But I can’t change out of this skirt!
She didn't know why, but she couldn't seem to hold it up, especially the pads on her chest felt very empty.
As a last resort, she could only find a shawl to put on her shoulders to cover up her lack of confidence.
"Ah! Mr. Ji is here! He is so handsome!"
"Is the person next to him his fiancée?"
"I heard that she is Miss Bai from the capital. She is so plainly dressed."
"Who is that? I'm talking about the one at the back. Her dress is so beautiful! It seems like her dress matches Mr. Ji's!"
"I know! The one next to Mr. Ji is his sister, and the one behind is her fiancée."
"Yes, I even forgot that Mr. Ji has a sister!"
……
The more Bai Sisi listened, the angrier she became. She didn't expect that she would be thought to be Ji Lingchuan's sister when she was dressed like this!
Even when she was engaged to Ji Lingchuan, his sister never showed up and was still traveling abroad.
So how could they be so sure that the sister would come back specially for Mr. Jiang’s birthday party?
Also, does she look older than Ji Lingchuan?
What is going wrong?
For a moment, her expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
But Ji Lingchuan turned a deaf ear and didn't make any intimate gestures. He just let her hold his arm like this, restrained and polite, and didn't look like an unmarried couple at all.
"Lingchuan, you're here."
At this moment, the host of the banquet, Mr. Jiang, appeared in front of the two of them and greeted Ji Lingchuan warmly.
Ji Lingchuan also responded politely: "Mr. Jiang, happy birthday!"
Mr. Jiang quickly noticed Bai Sisi next to him. During Ji Lingchuan's engagement party, he was hospitalized in the hospital due to physical reasons, so he didn't go and never saw Miss Bai.
Just when he was about to say hello to Bai Sisi, he suddenly saw Shu Yan not far behind them.
The skirt Shu Yan was wearing was the same style as the suit jacket Ji Lingchuan was wearing, so he almost immediately concluded that Shu Yan was Ji Lingchuan's fiancée, so he turned to Ji Lingchuan and blamed him: "What's the matter with you, leaving your future wife so far away?" ! Why don’t you bring her over quickly to introduce her to me?”
Ji Lingchuan subconsciously turned around and saw Shu Yan walking slowly, frowning slightly, and then winked at He Zhou.
He Zhou understood and handed her the gift he was carrying, "Mr. Ji asked you to go over and give Mr. Jiang a birthday gift. Please follow him quickly."
Shu Yan took it instinctively, then quickened his pace and ran over.
But because she was wearing high heels and her skirt was long and dragged to the floor, she accidentally stepped on the lower edge of her skirt, causing her center of gravity to jump forward!
Ji Lingchuan threw away Bai Sisi and rushed forward almost instantly, and the two of them bumped into each other!
The familiar feeling that hit her face made Shu Yan take a deep breath. She could also hear the sound of his heartbeat and the faint smell of tobacco on his body.
Ji Lingchuan was also a little stunned. The nephrite in his arms seemed to break at the touch. He just wanted to rub her in, rub her in hard!
However, he had to let her go at this moment.
"Xia Yiyan, please pay attention to your identity." He quickly regained his senses and lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
Only then did Shu Yan realize that he was gripping the clothes on his chest tightly, almost pulling off the diamonds on it!
"Yes, yes, I'm sorry!"
She stood up straight in a panic and checked what she was carrying. It should be fine.
Mr. Jiang came over and looked at them seriously, "Your fiancée? What a worthy face!"
Shu Yan was very embarrassed. Knowing that he had been mistaken, he quickly denied it: "No, no, I am his personal secretary! Hello, Mr. Jiang, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by Mr. Ji for you!"
When Mr. Jiang heard that it was just the secretary, his eyes were slightly disappointed.
Bai Sisi spent more than twenty years of cultivation to hold back her temper that wanted to explode. At this time, she came over, took the things from Shu Yan's hand for Mr. Jiang, turned to Mr. Jiang and said, "Hello Jiang Lao, my name is Bai Sisi, and I am Lingchuan's fiancée. Because when I was choosing a dress today, I saw that Secretary Xia liked the dress very much, so I took it upon myself to lend her the dress. Actually, I personally like elegance the most. I don’t like to do things that are in the limelight.”
Mr. Jiang finally turned his attention to her again, "Are you Miss Bai?"
Bai Sisi nodded and handed over the thing in his hand.
Mr. Jiang smiled coquettishly and said, "Sorry, I was just impatient."
"It's okay, Lingchuan and I don't mind." After saying that, Bai Sisi took the initiative to hold Ji Lingchuan's hand and leaned close to him, pretending to be a little bird.
Shu Yan didn't want to see them chatting with each other anymore, so he silently retreated behind the crowd, intending to stay away from right and wrong.
He Zhou looked at the direction she was leaving. Although he didn't stop her, he kept an eye on her.
As soon as Shu Yan walked to the aisle of the dining area, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.
She turned around in panic and found that it was Su Jinye. A relaxed smile instantly broke out on her face, "Brother."
Su Jinye put a finger to her lips, "Shh, come with me! I'll take you to meet your parents!"
Private room on the second floor of the venue.
This is a semi-enclosed structure with tall floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the main banquet hall on the first floor.
So much so that people in the middle of the hall can see clearly the situation in the private room just by raising their heads.
This design has advantages and disadvantages.
Shu Yan followed Su Jinye to one of the private rooms called "Yalan", where Su Zhenghe and Zhang Qiuyue were already waiting.
As soon as they saw Shu Yan, they stood up from their seats almost at the same time.
Zhang Qiuyue covered her mouth, her eyes instantly wet with tears as if she couldn't live up to expectations.
Although Su Zhenghe looked calm, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes. After a long time, his eyes would become red.
This was Shu Yan's first time meeting them. Perhaps because of their blood relationship, she didn't feel so strange, but she wanted to get closer to them more and more.
Then, she cautiously called them: "Dad, Mom..."
Zhang Qiuyue burst into tears, and Su Zhenghe stepped forward and gently hugged her, "Good child, we are really sorry for making you suffer outside..."
Banquet hall.
Ji Lingchuan was still chatting with Mr. Jiang when suddenly He Zhou came over and whispered in his ear for a while.
"Are you sure you read that correctly?" Ji Lingchuan frowned.
He Zhou nodded upstairs with his chin, and Ji Lingchuan immediately raised his head in the direction he indicated.
I saw Shu Yan, who was wearing a starry sky evening dress, hugged each other with Su's father and Su's mother respectively, while Su Jinye looked on dotingly behind them. It felt like a son whose mother had been single for many years, bringing a beautiful woman to her for the first time. It’s like a girlfriend going home to meet her parents.
