Fu Xiuzhu and Gong Yao exchanged a glance, everything left unsaid between them.
Last time Yang Jingwei brought it up, he only thought Yang Jingwei was dreaming.
The old master’s foundation is deep, how could they easily shake it?
But whenever he thought of the old master selling him out to the Bai Family, or embarrassing his mother at the wedding.
Rebellion rose in his heart.
No matter whether it’s the Gong Family or Gong Group, no matter what he does, it’s never enough compared to Gong Chen.
Then why bother fighting for it, why not take it all?
Gong Yao took a deep breath: "Mom, it’s time for the toast."
Seeing him not refuse, Fu Xiuzhu felt assured.
"Alright, let’s go."
When the newlyweds returned to the hall again, their faces looked noticeably improved.
Lin Zhiyi was sending a message when a group came to toast.
She quickly raised her glass and stood up, following the people around her to say a few words of blessing.
As one of the many guests, Lin Zhiyi and Liu He considered themselves very low-key.
The two sat without interacting much.
Even when old acquaintances came by, a brief greeting was all that exchanged.
You could say they handled it quite gracefully.
But it seems no matter what they did, the other side was not satisfied.
During the clinking of glasses, Bai Ruoshu deliberately moved her glass aside, almost making Lin Zhiyi spill hers.
On this joyful day, Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to stir up more trouble, and treated it as an accident by Bai Ruoshu.
Seeing Lin Zhiyi unresponsive, there was a trace of dissatisfaction in Bai Ruoshu’s eyes.
"Zhiyi, where’s your personal driver? Why didn’t you bring them?"
Lin Zhiyi knew very well what Bai Ruoshu meant.
"Miss Bai, no, Fourth Madam, did you forget? Your electronic invitation to me only had my name, and it didn’t say I could bring guests."
Bai Ruoshu shook her glass, feigning apology.
"Sorry, we forgot that the invitations were sent as family units, since you and your personal driver aren’t married yet, they definitely wouldn’t come. But why haven’t you gotten married? Is there some hidden reason?"
Lin Zhiyi didn’t get angry but laughed, her gaze suddenly cold towards Bai Ruoshu.
"Funny you ask, he proposed, I didn’t agree, I don’t want to marry casually."
She raised an eyebrow, signaling Bai Ruoshu.
Bai Ruoshu, who once relied on the Bai Family to stand high above others, stepped on many people to earn her reputation as a rich young lady.
Now that the Bai Family is gone, she’s still looking to rely on other men.
Lin Zhiyi had seen Bai Ruoshu’s college works; she was quite talented.
But later, she became accustomed to shortcuts, her focus shifted away from design, and even the great talent would eventually run dry.
After hearing this, Bai Ruoshu pursed her lips, feeling rather embarrassed.
She smiled awkwardly twice, then turned to toast others.
It was Yang Jingwei who raised her glass and subtly glanced at Liu He.
"Second Madam, long time no see, you’re looking better and better, why only drink juice? Come on, today is my daughter’s big day, let’s have a drink together."
Liu He was confused for a few seconds, couldn’t understand what Yang Jingwei was playing at.
She raised her hand to cover the cup and reminded her: "Mrs. Bai, I’m pregnant, I can’t drink alcohol."
Yang Jingwei lightly patted her forehead, laughing, "My memory is failing me, I’m too excited today and completely forgot Second Madam is pregnant. It’s also due to Second Madam’s good figure and glowing complexion, hard to associate it with pregnancy."
She continued, "I heard that whether a pregnant woman turns beautiful is related to the baby’s gender, something about hormones. A girl is beautiful, a boy well..."
As she spoke, Yang Jingwei’s gaze moved to Liu He’s belly.
Liu He indeed didn’t show much, her complexion had improved greatly since getting pregnant.
She seemed as if she looked several years younger.
However, those around politely mentioned her belly was sharp this meant it should be a boy.
Liu He and Gong Shiyan were indifferent as it’s their first child at this age.
Whether it’s a boy or girl didn’t matter, as long as the child was healthy.
But to be called out publicly, Liu He naturally felt embarrassed.
Liu He lightly laughed, "It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, both Second Young Master and I would love them, what parent would dislike their own child, right, Mrs. Bai?"
She gently rubbed her belly, glancing quietly at Yang Jingwei.
Yang Jingwei’s face changed, then she smiled.
"Is that so? Well, congratulations."
"Thank you."
Liu He raised her juice cup and clinked it against Yang Jingwei’s glass.
Lin Zhiyi stood aside, watching them drinking while staring at each other.
Feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Yang Jingwei put down her glass: "Ruoshu, let’s go, the next table."
