At the entrance of the venue, Lu Jinghan parked the car, and just as he was about to walk inside holding Han Xi’s small hand, he heard Manman’s excited voice: "Wait for us."
Han Xi turned around, and Manman and Chu Ci were walking towards them.
The four of them entered the elevator together, and when they came out, they bumped into Shi Yu and his fiancée Li Chuxia.
Manman’s face darkened as she glanced at Li Chuxia: "Didn’t check the calendar when going out today, really bad luck."
"Who are you talking about?" Li Chuxia said this to Manman, but her gaze fell on Chu Ci.
Chu Ci was wearing a long dress with a brown trench coat, high heels underfoot, slightly curled long hair neatly tied, and her delicately made-up face revealed a cold but alluring aura.
Perhaps it was the lip color or something else, her whole presence seemed high-class and charming.
Manman crossed her arms and looked ahead, without even glancing at Li Chuxia: "Who knows who I’m talking about."
If Lu Jinghan weren’t there, Li Chuxia would have wanted to roll up her sleeves and have a go at Manman.
Chu Ci passed by Shi Yu indifferently, as if they had never known each other, with a cold demeanor.
Shi Yu grabbed Chu Ci’s wrist, his deep voice sounding like a demand: "What is your relationship with Gu Beichen?"
Chu Ci turned around, her clear eyes showing indifference: "Young Master Shi, is it necessary for me to report to you? Your fiancée is standing here, being so contentious with me might not be appropriate."
Chu Ci smiled softly as she withdrew her hand from Shi Yu’s grip, her gaze unintentionally falling on the arm Li Chuxia was holding.
Shi Yu’s sharp perception caught Chu Ci’s subtle eye movement, he frowned and removed Li Chuxia’s hand: "Chu Ci, I know you’re still mad at me, I’ve been calling you..."
"Miss Li just watches her fiancé entangle with another woman, and does nothing?"
Before Shi Yu could finish, Chu Ci interrupted, gazing at Li Chuxia with clear eyes devoid of any waves.
Li Chuxia re-entwined her arm with Shi Yu’s, smiling craftily: "Men flirting outside doesn’t matter, as long as he remembers to come home at night. The main wife must have the grace of the main wife; maybe you’re not the only one outside?"
"Anyway, you have more than one man, almost like a bus by now."
Han Xi added calmly, her eyes cool and disdainful.
Li Chuxia glared at Han Xi, watching as Lu Jinghan cuddled the woman in his arms, suppressing the words that were about to burst out.
Lu Jinghan was not someone she could provoke; she wasn’t foolish enough to invite unnecessary trouble.
Calm as ever, Chu Ci’s lips curled mockingly: "Miss Li seems mistaken, this man was once mine and discarded, and yet you picked him up like treasure."
Li Chuxia was left speechless, her face turning livid under Chu Ci’s retort.
Next to them, Shi Yu’s gaze on Chu Ci was bleak: "Chu Ci, will you forgive me? Please stop all relations with Gu Beichen, I can’t accept it."
Chu Ci merely smiled and walked away on high heels without a word.
As she left, Manman didn’t forget to make a sarcastic jab: "Ha, you can’t accept it? What identity or qualification do you have to talk about acceptance here, look how big your face is."
Watching Chu Ci and the others enter the private room, Li Chuxia finally let go of Shi Yu’s arm in anger: "Why didn’t you stand up for me just now?"
Shi Yu turned coldly, his deep voice warning: "If you dare mess with her again with nonsense, I’ll expose all your messy affairs outside."
"Shi Yu, you bastard, our family helped your company, and now you dare threaten me."
Shi Yu sneered: "With your chaotic personal life, what man would dare take over?"
After they got engaged, they went to the registry office and got a marriage certificate; the Li Family was one to not act without assurance, only after seeing them secure the certificate did they agree to fund Shi Yu’s company.
However, the matter of getting the certificate has not been publicly announced yet.
In the private room, Fu Bin and Feng Yi had already arrived, Lu Jinghan pulled out a chair for Han Xi, and the two sat close together.
