Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Not Arguing with a Fool
“What are you going to do?” Gu Zuocheng reached out and grabbed Ye Xinyu.
From the moment Ye Shu entered, Ye Xinyu had been trying every way to humiliate her.
He kept in mind that today was filled with many guests, and he was about to become Ye Xinyu’s husband, so he could only turn a blind eye.
But Ye Xinyu had almost tarnished the reputation of both the Gu and Ye families. Wasn’t that enough?
Ye Xinyu turned back to look at Gu Zuocheng and said, “Zuo Cheng, don’t worry, I’m just going to remind my cousin that this isn’t her solo show but our wedding.”
After speaking, she even fluttered her eyelashes in feigned grievance.
Gu Zuocheng wanted to say something more, but Ye Xinyu had already quietly slipped away from his grasp and walked towards Ye Shu.
Ye Xinyu walked up to Ye Shu, reached out, and tugged on the hem of Ye Shu’s gown, looking at her with a hint of pain. “Cousin, you’ve just taken a small role in a film, and you haven’t even received your fee. Your husband’s income is mediocre, and you’ve spent so much to rent such an expensive dress just to attend mine and Zuo Cheng’s wedding. I’m truly moved. But, isn’t the expense a bit too much? If this dress puts you in a tough spot financially, I, as your younger sister, would really feel guilty…”
Ye Xinyu emphasized the word “rent” quite heavily.
Having said that, she purposefully pulled Jin Baiwan, who had been standing behind Ye Shu, over. “Brother-in-law, it’s right for you to dote on my sister, but indulging her can be hard on you, especially since you still have a life to live…”
The guests who had been surrounding Ye Shu and praising her gown suddenly fell silent.
They looked at Ye Shu, dressed in her glamorous attire, and then at Jin Baiwan, who kept explaining that he was just Ye Shu’s driver, their expressions varying.
“Just so, just so. Jin Baiwan, this really won’t do. Today it’s renting a gown, tomorrow you might have to rent airplanes and cannons. Are you going to sell your company to please Ye Shu?” Guan Zhizhi mocked along with Ye Xinyu’s tone.
“Really? To overshadow Xinyu, deliberately spending money to rent a fancier dress than Sister Xinyu’s, isn’t that a bit despicable?”
“Isn’t that the truth? If Master Franse knew that his final masterpiece was worn by such a person, wouldn’t he be furious?”
“No matter how luxurious the dress, if the person lacks manners and grace, not only can they not complement the dress’s elegance, they also insult the dress!”
Usually, those who were close to Ye Xinyu started to sneer at Ye Shu once Ye Xinyu had spoken.
Zhong Han, with a face as dark as iron, said, “Franse’s final masterpiece could never be rented out! There was someone who tried to rent it for a month for a billion, and Franse didn’t agree! She said that this gown would only be sold to a person with a noble soul!”
“A noble soul? Do you think a woman who sells her body to old men for the sake of wealth and status possesses a noble soul? Or in your eyes, Mr. Zhong, as long as she’s a woman, her soul is noble?”
Guan Zhizhi was not afraid of someone like Zhong Han. In her eyes, the fashion world was not directly connected to the entertainment circle she mingled in. Moreover, Zhong Han was just a has-been, so she laughed aloud without any fear.
Zhong Han was straightforward and had a quick temper. Being mocked by Guan Zhizhi , he coughed out of anger.
Ye Shu reached out and smoothed Zhong Han’s back, speaking softly and tenderly, “Mr. Zhong, please don’t be angry. As the saying goes, ‘Don’t argue with a fool.’ Isn’t that right? I’ll help you over to rest.”
