Chapter 155

Just as Bai Weijin walked off to do the housework, Gu Yeze quickly picked up a tissue from the table and spit out the coffee he had just drunk.

‘I cannot get used to such sweet things. How about myself going to the kitchen to make another cup?’

Gu Yeze walked toward the kitchen while scanning the place for Bai Weijin.

In case she found out what he was gonna do.

With a squeak, Gu Yeze opened the locker, only to find that there was no coffee bean left. He slightly frowned.

‘What? Did I forget to order domestic service?’

‘Then the sugary coffee…’

It struck Gu Yeze that Bai Weijin must have accidentally added sugar and then gave it to him under the pretext of caring about his health.

‘I think I know the reason why she made a show just now.’

Gu Yeze was considering whether to expose her lie when Bai Weijin doing the housework greeted him.

‘It’s quite rare to see her being so docile… OK, I’ll let it go this time.’

Indeed, Gu Yeze had a soft heart when faced with her.

Time flied. Three days later, Bai Weijin arrived at the banquet hall where the wedding took place.

According to the original plan, Gu Yeyu would serve as a bridesmaid. Now she couldn’t make it, so Bai Weijin was sent to attend the wedding, yet as a mere guest.

So she just come to go through the motions.

“Miss Li and Mr. Wang, I wish you a happy marriage,” said Bai Weijin gracefully, while holding out her hand.

The groom already reached his middle age, while his bride was just eighteen years old. Anyone with any sense could see that their marriage was the product of family cooperation.

It made Bai Weijin uncomfortable, for she and Gu Yeze had entered into marriage for similar cause.

A man sitting at a corner caught Bai Weijin’s attention. ‘Is he Chu Jiran? Why he looks so terrible?’

Chu Jiran also attended the wedding ceremony, but his sunken eyes and messy beard showed that he was in bad condition.

‘Has Yeyu taken a turn for the worse?’

“Mr. Chu, long time no see,” Bai Weijin greeted him, “maybe we can have a talk?”

The familiar voice made Chu Jiran immediately raise his head. A bitter sadness came over him at the sight of his beloved one.

Bai Weijin’s heart sank when Chu Jiran’s tearful face met her eyes. ‘Did anything happen to Yeyu?’

Regardless of how Li family would react, Bai Weijin pulled Chu Jiran out.

“What’s wrong with you? What makes you feeling down? Is there anything wrong with Yeyu?”

Yeyu…

Chu Jiran’s expression became more dejected as she mentioned the name. He rushed into Bai Weijin’s arms, holding her tightly.

Taken aback, Bai Weijin subconsciously pushed Chu Jiran away,

Yet next second, she was aware of a chill.

Bai Weijin had a hard, good look, only to find that her chest where Chu Jiran buried his head was wet. She was suddenly moved to pity.

‘It’s cruel to be angry with a man who cries in front of me with no regard for his dignity.’

She did her best to comfort Chu Jiran by patting him on the back.

“Weijin, it’s my fault,” Chu Jiran spoke tearfully, “If Yeyu didn’t save me, she would be pretty safe and healthy now…”

It turned out that Gu Yeyu had the accident due to Chu Jiran…

As soon as she heard the news that Gu Yeyu would fall into a vegetative state, Bai Weijin was locked in by Gu Yeze and had no way to know about that.

But anyhow, she felt that the ‘rescuing beauty in distress’ play was not so simple as people thought.

However, considering that these things would do no help but fueled Chu Jiran’s depression, Bai Weijin chose to remain silent.

The door was pushed open. On seeing Chu Jiran and Bai Weijin hug each other, the comer gasped in horror.

“Mr. Chu is in a bad mood,” said Bai Weijin quickly, “and needs some comfort.”

Chu Jiran looked more dejected.

‘Is she still unwilling to relate to me?’

With a forced smile, Chu Jiran asked, “Are you Li Wu’s assistant? Tell me, what can I do for you?”

The assistant finally thought of his task, making a hurried reply, “It’s time for toast. Please come with me.”

Chu Jiran nodded and left with the assistant, leaving Bai Weijin alone in the room.

Having her dress adjusted, Bai Weijin looked blankly at the closed door. Frankly, she couldn’t trust Chu Jiran’s emotional state right now.

‘What if anything happened?’

Bai Weijin pushed the door open and came to the hall in search of Chu Jiran.

She found, or more precisely, just saw him as soon as she arrived.

Around Chu Jiran there stood many who went to toast him.

Seemingly unhappy, Chu Jiran downed his drink glass by glass.

Just few minutes passed, and he began to stagger.

‘No, he’ll fuddle his nose if he continues to drink like this.’

“Stop toasting,” Bai Weijin made a big stride forward and spoke coldly, “Be responsible for your action!”

A strange atmosphere dominated the hall.

Finally, a young man opened his mouth.

“It’s a happy day, why can’t we drink? What’s more, Mr. Chu doesn’t say no, does he?”

There were several people who recognized her identity. They pulled at the young man’s sleeves and whispered in his ear.

“Shut it. This is Mrs. Gu, who you cannot afford to provoke…”

Bai Weijin thought the farce was over. She took Chu Jiran by the arm, ready to leave here, when the young man made a second utterance.

“Well? Do Gu family have the privilege to disobey the rule?”

“Or you drink this one in his place, Mrs. Gu?”
