Chapter 221: 198 Toasting
Mourning the fate of her seeds, a carefully packaged bag of them was handed to her.
Gu Yan looked at her with a smile, “This bag hasn’t been brought into the venue, so it hasn’t been contaminated. I just brought it from the car. You can eat them with peace of mind.”
Ye Xiao’s eyes lit up as she quickly took the bag, her gaze at Gu Yan suddenly filled with satisfaction.
Gu Yan had also attended the wedding, though he didn’t sit with the Ye Family. Unexpectedly, he was quite considerate, even noticing that her essential snack had been compromised.
Good, as a gossip buddy, Gu Yan was incredibly reliable.
Seeing the joyful surprise on Ye Xiao’s face, Gu Yan’s own face couldn’t help but light up with a smile.
Ye Xiao intended to keep some distance from the Ye Family to avoid causing any trouble when the real Ye Xiao returned. By contrast, she had fewer reservations about Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was her gossip partner; the return of Ye Xiao would hardly cause her any significant trouble.
In such a situation, Ye Xiao was even more inclined to stay close to Gu Yan.
The Ye Family watched Ye Xiao lean towards Gu Yan, feeling somewhat downhearted.
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, feeling not much joy either.
Ye Xiao was obviously avoiding the Ye Family, but why?
Gu Yan had a feeling that the answer to this question might be hard for him to accept.
Yet at this moment, they tacitly chose not to ask further.
If Xiaoxiao didn’t want to talk, then the time wasn’t right. When the time came, everything would naturally become clear.
After waiting for two hours, Qin Mobei’s side was finally ready. The guests were not in a hurry at all; two hours was nothing compared to juicy gossip.
They had a premonition that the drama was far from over, and Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue would surely bring them more surprises.
The banquet was held in a nearby luxury hotel. Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue cleaned up and looked normal again. However, for some reason, when everyone saw them, they couldn’t help but feel an urge to keep their distance, as if there was still a faint scent lingering in the air.
With a strained smile on his lips, Qin Mobei said, “There was a little accident earlier. Thank you all for still attending my wedding. I believe the banquet to follow will definitely satisfy everyone.”
As Qin Mobei finished speaking, everyone politely indicated that it was just an accident, but their bodies honestly moved a bit farther away from the couple. They couldn’t control it; the image of the two emerging from the manure pit earlier was just too unforgettable.
Seeing the subconscious reactions of the crowd, Qin Mobei’s expression turned somewhat ugly, but he could only maintain his smile. He was still hoping to redeem himself with this wedding, so he had to persevere to the end.
The rest of the event unfolded without any further mishaps, and the banquet proceeded smoothly. The only oddity was that the expressions of the guests at each table seemed extra peculiar whenever the bride and groom came over to toast, as if they were all struggling not to cover their noses.
Qin Mobei could only pretend not to notice.
Soon, it was the turn of the table where the Ye Family sat.
Ye Xiao inexplicably began to look forward to it.
[Wow, I feel like there’s still some good drama ahead. My gossip radar has just lit up, it can’t be wrong.]
Hearing Ye Xiao’s inner thoughts, Ye Bolin’s lips curled into an indulgent smile.
If Xiaoxiao wants to eat melon, then as her brother, it’s natural for him to satisfy her.
Upon seeing Ye Bolin, Chen Yueyue instinctively straightened her back.
She desperately told herself that what happened before was just an accident, and that she was still the happiest, most beautiful bride today, the one Ye Bolin couldn’t have.
Chen Yueyue looked at Ye Bolin and said softly, “Berlin, what happened between us is long past, and I am now Mobei’s wife. You should not dwell in the past grievances anymore. I know these days, because of me, you’ve been targeting Mobei. But you really don’t need to do this. My being with Mobei has nothing to do with his status. Even if he were a beggar, I would still like him. Destroying the Qin Family would only make my relationship with Mobei stronger, and I won’t leave him because of these things.”
As Chen Yueyue spoke, she looked deeply and affectionately at Qin Mobei, who reciprocated with a moved look, their profound affection for each other touching everyone present.
The guests also pricked up their ears to listen in.
A current husband meeting an ex-boyfriend is a highly stimulating scenario in any setting, and it’s doubly entertaining when both individuals involved have significant status.
There had been rumours recently that Ye Bolin was targeting the Qin Family because he couldn’t get over Chen Yueyue. Her words seemed to confirm this.
Ye Bolin watched Chen Yueyue’s self-assured demeanor and couldn’t help but laugh lightly, “Miss Chen, do you know what I admire about you most?”
“What?” Chen Yueyue’s lips still wore a faint smile.
Ye Bolin said expressionlessly, “I admire your thick skin. What makes you think I would be hung up on a woman who flirts with everyone? What for? That bastard in your stomach, or your family of bloodsuckers?”
Before Chen Yueyue could reply, Ye Bolin had already turned to Qin Mobei, “President Qin, speaking of which, I should thank you. I’ve been blind for so many years, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have come to my senses anytime soon. I believe you two will last a long time, it’s just in case Chen Yueyue carries the child of another man in the future, make sure to choose to forgive her.”
Qin Mobei’s face turned ugly, and he said coldly, “You needn’t worry about this, President Ye.”
Ye Bolin chuckled, “President Qin, you have to believe that I am truly, genuinely wishing you well. It’s best if you two last a long, long time, absolutely, absolutely do not split up.”
Ye Bolin was indeed sincere in this blessing.
The two of them being together was so wonderful. The Qin Family wasn’t so easy to deal with originally, but in just a few months, they had been suppressed by him and Gu Yan until they couldn’t raise their heads. For this military merit, Chen Yueyue owned half of it.
Thinking about it.
Chen Yueyue really did him a big favor.
Qin Mobei, with a dark face, said, “President Ye has been quite elated recently, it’s just, I wonder if President Ye has ever heard this saying: the person who laughs last is the real winner.”
Ye Bolin raised his glass, “I’m looking forward to it.”
The drama he had orchestrated was about to begin, and it remained to be seen whether Qin Mobei could last until the moment when he could laugh last.
Qin Mobei didn’t want to entangle with Ye Bolin any longer and the two were about to leave.
Suddenly.
An angry voice rang out.
“Qin Mobei! How could this cheque be fake!” Chen Feng, holding the cheque, stood up with an ugly look on his face.
