When Long Tianjiao found her seat, she scanned the room and her gaze settled on the table next door.
"Grandma, I’m going to my brother’s table."
Old Madam Long glanced over and noticed Liang He was there, then meaningfully whispered, "Go ahead."
She rose and headed over, sitting beside Long Yubei, with this spot facing Liang He and Shi Xiaotian by his side.
Long Tianjiao gave her a glance, then propped her head up with one hand while the other fiddled with the chopsticks on the table, staying silent.
As if deaf, Long Tianjiao did not react until Long Yubei nudged her, "Someone is calling you."
Only then did she look up. The person calling her wrapped an arm around her neck from behind, "Tian Jiao, you’re so heartless, you even blocked my number, I hate you!"
The speaker was one of Long Tianjiao’s rascally friends, a rich second generation kid named Guangzi, who was also a classmate of hers. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novᴇlfire.net
Long Tianjiao shook off his hand, "Scram, scram, scram, be serious, can’t you see my brother here? You’re asking for a beating."
With a cheeky smile, Guangzi greeted Long Yubei, "Hello, brother."
Long Tianjiao twisted his arm, "That’s my brother, what are you randomly shouting for, I’ll beat you."
"Yo, yo, yo, looking so glum, in a bad mood?"
Spotting the seat next to her was vacant, Guangzi directly sat down.
"Yes, I’m not happy."
"This wedding upset me."
Guangzi was stunned, muttering quietly, "But you’re engaged, and the groom is getting married, you can’t keep pining."
Long Tianjiao busily thumped him, "You know jack."
Leaning closer to her ear, Guangzi said, "I thought the guy you had a crush on was Shen Congmo, isn’t it him?"
"Of course not." She rarely shared her feelings with these people, so few of them knew who she really had a crush on.
"None of your damn business."
"I know now." Guangzi astutely whispered, "It’s because of your sister."
"If you don’t speak up, no one will treat you as mute, I really want to stuff your mouth."
Flashin a grin, Guangzi pointed at her, "You can’t fool me, I’m fully aware of many things about you."
Long Tianjiao rolled her eyes, "Fully aware my ass."
As Long Tianjiao’s good buddy, it was impossible for Guangzi not to know about Long Tianjiao’s engagement. He greeted Liang He, "Hello."
Liang He nodded slightly, "Hello."
Guangzi again leaned close to Long Tianjiao, "Why the hell aren’t you sitting next to your fiancé?"
"Are you blind? Didn’t you see there’s no seat?"
Those who played well with Long Tianjiao knew her nature; sometimes she had a sharp tongue. Of course, they were used to ditching each other, so Guangzi didn’t mind.
As the wedding was about to start, Long Tianjiao’s heart grew heavier.
Catching sight of Shen Congmo in a suit, Long Tianjiao’s nose suddenly felt sore and tears streamed down.
When she was young, during the time when Shen Congmo and Long Fengxi were in puppy love, she once glimpsed her sister being passionately kissed by Shen Congmo against a wall outside her home.
At that time, she peeked from the side of the wall for a while, realized these two were really into it, and then stealthily went back home without telling her parents.
When Long Fengxi came back, she secretly asked Long Fengxi about it.
Long Tianjiao still remembers how her sister’s entire face was flushed red, cautioning her not to tell their parents, a warning she quietly noted.
Later, their romance became known to everyone.
