Chapter 749: Chapter 750: Apologize and Make Amends
“Director Di, it seems my arrival has displeased your wife?” Qin Sijue said, holding his wine glass, a faint smile always playing on his lips.
Upon hearing this, Di Zhengtian immediately flashed an ingratiating smile, “Ha-ha, no, no, no, my wife is ignorant, please don’t take offense!”
“Yes, yes, yes, please feel free, feel free, ha-ha…”
After saying this, he pulled Chen Peifang towards another corner!
In a secluded corner, Di Zhengtian’s expression immediately turned grim, “What’s going on with you!?”
“What’s going on with me? Do you know, last time at the bank, it was Gu Qiangwei who put me in such an embarrassing situation!”
Di Zhengtian was taken aback, “You mean Qin Sijue’s wife?”
“That Qin Sijue is just rich, why are you so afraid of him anyway!?” Chen Peifang was discontented that he, a prominent police director, would fear a businessman!
“What do you know? Qin Sijue isn’t just rich; he has power and influence! If nothing unexpected happens, he is likely to be the next President!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Peifang was thoroughly shocked, so astonished that she couldn’t speak.
It took her a long while to find her voice again, “You, you mean that Qin Sijue… might be the next President!?”
Wouldn’t that make Gu Qiangwei the First Lady!?
“Of course, why else do you think I invited him here?”
Chen Peifang paled, suddenly realizing Gu Qiangwei’s status was completely above her. What then, was her purpose in attending today’s wedding?
“Feeling scared now?”
Looking at her spiritless demeanor, Di Zhengtian glanced at her annoyedly.
“Husband, previously… I was extremely harsh to Gu Qiangwei, do you think she might seek revenge on me for it?”
Di Zhengtian discerned the hint, frowning as he asked, “You know his wife?”
At that moment, Chen Peifang’s complexion turned pale, “I, I was at the Gu Family home when she was still Gu Zhendong’s daughter.”
Hearing this, Di Zhengtian’s face also abruptly shifted.
He didn’t know if Qin Sijue held grudges; if he did, wouldn’t his chance to become mayor vanish completely?
“You! Really thoughtless!”
Looking at his wife, Di Zhengtian was at a loss for words at this moment. All he could think about was how to curry favor with Qin Sijue and please him.
“Back then she said nothing; how was I to know she would marry Qin Sijue!”
Upon learning Gu Qiangwei’s identity, Chen Peifang was unwilling to accept it, but at the same time feared retribution from her.
“Come on, let’s go and apologize to her straight away!”
After saying this, Di Zhengtian took Chen Peifang by the hand and headed back to the venue.
In the venue, Gu Qiangwei, dressed in a flowing white chiffon gown, was moving among the crowd and the rose tables, occasionally picking up a cup of wine or a pastry to taste.
“This one is delicious.” She turned her head and offered the pastry she had bitten into to Qin Sijue’s lips.
Qin Sijue ate it without hesitation; because it was sweet, his brow furrowed slightly.
“Not good?” Gu Qiangwei frowned, noticing he seemed not to like it.
“Too sweet, too rich.” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Gu Qiangwei arched an eyebrow, looking down at the pastry. Was it really that sweet? She thought it was rather mild.
Her appetite had been fickle lately.
She remembered being particularly fond of spicy food a while ago, but recently she seemed to prefer sweets?
Looking down at her still flat belly, she wondered whether the one residing inside was a boy or a girl.
