Chapter 173: The gains outweigh the losses
The dazzling light in the hall made Gu Manman's eyes a little uncomfortable, and he lightly blocked it with his hand, and then looked forward, just to see Lu Sheng, who also found her, coming this way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Manman, I've been looking for you for a while, where are you hiding?" Lu Sheng's voice was full of anger, and the expression on her face was a little playful and cute.
The displeasure in Gu Manman's heart subsided a little, and he glanced at Lu Sheng, and then said, "Why are you here so late?" ā
"The company was in a bit of a hurry and didn't finish it, so it was delayed for a while. I know you're coming, so I'm going to come even if it's late. Lu Sheng's eyes fell on the hall, as if he was looking for someone.
Gu Manman only felt warm in his heart when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, noticing her movements, and asking, "Are you looking for Xia Xun?" ā
Lu Sheng was distracted, didn't notice the ridicule in her words, and only replied, "No, I came with him." I'm just wondering why we haven't seen the two people we are engaged to. After a while they came out, we looked for an opportunity to go outside. ā
Hearing this, Gu Manman understood Lu Sheng's intentions.
Lu Sheng was afraid that Gu Manman would be wronged here alone, although Gu Nansheng was there, he might not be able to protect her everywhere. And it's nothing to follow Gu Manman's side, and he can come up with an idea if he encounters any situation.
After all, new and old loves are here, and it is estimated that there are many people who come to the Lin family to participate in the engagement banquet and are ready to watch jokes. It's just ironic, it's not clear who is the new love and who is the old love.
It's just that Gu Manman's every move is the focus of everyone's attention, not fake.
After all, such an embarrassing existence is really a rare show.
"No!" Gu Manman replied softly.
Lu Sheng paused, and then seemed to think of something, "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and rest for a while." ā
And Gu Manman's thoughts, she also understood, since she had already come, she didn't think about hiding. Since Ye Chuxuan was not afraid of embarrassment and specially gave her an invitation, she was here to accompany her to sing a play. She wanted to see what Ye Chuxuan was going to do, and what the Lin family's attitude was towards the arrival of the Gong family.
Although Gu Manman's appearance here made everyone in the hall curious, if she didn't appear, all kinds of speculations and reports in the media might drown her.
In that case, what does it matter if you face it like this?
There was a commotion in the hall, and Gu Man smiled, is it the protagonist who has appeared?
She and Lu Sheng were sitting on the second floor, and the scene in the hall below was unobstructed.
Ye Chuxuan was wearing a moon-white long skirt, which perfectly outlined the curves of her body. Her hair was coiled up, and she wore a necklace around her neck the size of a pigeon's egg, adding a touch of enchantment to the fresh outfit.
Gu Manman has seen a lot of Ye Chuxuan's slightly powdered appearance and high-minded cold temperament, and this change in the style of the past makes her feel refreshed.
Lu Sheng glanced at her expression and was relieved to see that there was no change.
Although Gu Manman said that he didn't like Lin Haonan anymore, he was later with Xiao Beihan. But after all, they were almost married, and Lu Sheng was also worried.
was thinking about it, but it was the applause in the hall that made Lu Sheng retract his thoughts.
It turned out that Lin Haonan brought a ring for Ye Chuxuan. And the sharp-eyed people found that the ring was also ruby, and it matched the one on Ye Chuxuan's neck.
Although Ye Chuxuan's status is not high, Lin Haonan's practice has also raised her identity.
The Lin family officially recognized her, and her worth was also going to rise.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Gu Manman looked sideways at Lu Sheng behind him and said, "Let's go down!" It's time for a toast in a moment. ā
"Good!" Lu Sheng nodded.
Gu Manman's eyes only fell on the hall, but he didn't notice the people in the opposite compartment who had been watching her. When he saw her go downstairs, he also got up and followed.
Everyone in the hall was saying words of blessing, and when they saw Gu Manman's voice, they were a little quieter.
Even if you plan to see a joke, you can't show it so obviously!
Gu Manman and Lu Sheng didn't pay attention to the person in front of them, and only went to the nearest wine table, each holding a glass of red wine.
From beginning to end, Gu Manman didn't see Old Man Lin appear. Although his fate is also full of twists and turns because of him, it is a little unbearable to think that he is old and his body is not good.
She was thinking about whether to go see him for a while, but it was just as she expected. Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Chuxuan held Lin Haonan's arm with one hand, and came in the direction of Gu Manman with a wine glass in the other.
Xiaoxiao, it's all come to this point, Ye Chuxuan didn't forget to show off in front of her. Sure enough, when people get more things, their desires and vanities will also swell, and of course she will lose her accurate judgment of what is in front of her at some point.
The voices of the people around him were decreasing, and Lin Haonan's face couldn't be seen, but his eyes fell on Gu Manman, letting Ye Chuxuan hold him, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Miss Gu!" Walking in front of Gu Manman, everyone in the hall quieted down. For a moment, I could only hear beautiful piano music circling the hall.
Gu Manman looked at the person who came and nodded.
"Thank you for fulfilling me and Haonan, we are where we are today! You are our benefactor, and I will do it first to thank you. Ye Chuxuan's words were like an invisible slap in the face to Gu Manman.
The hall was already quiet, and everyone gasped in their hearts.
Ye Chuxuan is also too ruthless, who doesn't know the past of Gu Manman and Lin Haonan, these words are clearly poking her heart with a knife. The events of the year were also witnessed in the whole process, Ye Chuxuan was obviously the one who broke someone else's marriage, but now he is showing off his power here.
It's just that these are the thoughts of the guests, and Gu Manman doesn't care.
Ye Chuxuan had already done it first, and the empty wine glass in his hand had been filled by the attendant who followed him, and when he saw that Gu Manman hadn't moved, his eyes were staring at her face burningly.
Ye Chuxuan had already drunk a lot all the way, but he could still say these words so clearly, and his cultivation was really strong enough.
Although the Gu Lin family no longer has much affection, Ye Chuxuan's words are tantamount to completely tearing their faces.
Lin Haonan frowned lightly and glanced at Ye Chuxuan.
"Good!" Gu Manman smiled and whispered this word.
It's just that this reaction made the people in the hall a little disappointed, should they just let Ye Chuxuan's lowly status be humiliated? How not to fight back?
It's not a big deal to watch the excitement, but the onlookers hope to fight directly, but how can Gu Manman be such a disproportionate person?
Besides, people who don't care in the first place, why bother?
