Tong Yujia’s turned pale. She looked at Lin Kerou helplessly with her bloodshot eyes and said, “Cousin, she’s slandering us!”
“Enough.” Lin Kerou frowned and looked displeased. “Why are you so naive? Can’t you tell if Nian Nian is serious or joking? Silly girl!”
Tong Yujia’s jaw dropped.
Joking?
How could Li Beinian be joking!
Tong Yujia felt that although she might be a little naive, she wasn’t silly at all!
She looked at Lin Kerou for a moment before realizing what was going on. She mumbled, “So it was just a joke. You scared me.” As she spoke, Tong Yujia looked like she was on the verge of tears. She turned to Li Beinian and said, “I knew you wouldn’t hold it against me, right? Sob, sob… you scared me…”
As she spoke, she pretended to cry.
Li Beinian looked at Lin Kerou with a half-smile and then at Tong Yujia, who was on the verge of tears. She said, “You are so inappropriate. How could you cry on Miss LIn’s joyous occasion? It would be terrible if this affected Miss Lin’s mood on her wedding day. And even worse, Miss Lin’s bad mood may upset the baby in her belly.”
Such a sharp-tongue the girl had!
The people couldn’t help but thought this of Li Beinian as they observed her.
Although Li Beinian was a familiar name to them, they had only heard about her in the news and gossips relating to filming.
Of course, they had never seen her dissing someone before now.
Lin Kerou pursed her lips and looked away. It was hard to tell her emotions. She turned to Tong Yujia and said, “Alright already, everyone’s a guest here. Nian Nian and Xichen have taken the time out of their busy schedule to attend our wedding. It’s hard to come by. And yet you offend them. Don’t be immature.”
Li Beinian couldn’t help but click her tongue silently.
If the girl was being immature, wouldn’t the person who took offence be even more immature?
Most people could read in-between those lines.
Li Beinian had a sharp tongue, but Lin Kerou was no pushover either.
However, the two of them kept cool composure and their smiles didn’t leave their faces. It was impossible to tell that they had exchanged a few verbal blows.
“Don’t worry about it? Since we’re here, of course we’ll stay through the joyous occasion to celebrate.” Li Beinian’s smile was unflinching. She held Mu Xichen’s arm and unconsciously leaned towards the man as she looked up at him, saying sweetly, “Hubby, has the wedding gift been delivered?”
“Yes.” Mu Xichen’s quiet voice drew attention like a magnet. “It should have been delivered.”
He spoke softly and gently, making the women swoon with envy.
Li Beinian’s smile was charmingly innocent as she leaned towards Mu Xichen again, saying, “I hope they like it. I did put in a great deal of effort selecting it.”
A wedding gift?
Lin Kerou had a vague feeling that even if Li Beinian had prepared a wedding gift for them, she wouldn’t have put in as much effort as she would have others believe.
Could it be that there was something fishy about this wedding gift?
Lin Kerou was quietly on the alert now, but she kept smiling and ushered them into the venue.
Li Beinian held on to Mu Xichen’s arm intimately. As she walked in, she saw Mu Donglin, who was wearing a white suit that made him look particularly sharp, but his face was devoid of any expression.
