Chapter 418 - Bloodshed at the Wedding (1/2)

Chapter 418 Bloodshed at the WeddingBeing inattentive and thoughtless, Chen Chen forgot about preparing a present. Jiang Rui just asked about it casually. In fact, he had already prepared the present.

The next day, they went to the wedding banquet, followed by Xiao Si.

“Boss, relax. I’ll pay attention to Mrs. Jiang!” Xiao Si saw Jiang Rui frown after seeing Lu Tao, and he couldn’t help saying, “Don’t worry.”

Jiang Rui looked at Lu Tao who was standing at the door to welcome the guests. He hadn’t seen him for a few months, and the air around him became darker and gloomier. Thinking of Bear’s words about what he had done before, Jiang Rui looked more serious.

“Do you mean that I’m going to make trouble?” Chen Chen was dissatisfied, then she saw Xie Hong.

Xie Hong waved at her from the distance while walking over. Behind her was Wen Pintang, who was graceful and gentle. Chen Chen always felt that such a man had to be a person who stepped out of a painting. In his forties, he could still capture the hearts of young girls.

She often heard Bear gossip with others, and learned that there were many women who tried to hook up with Wen Pintang but were thrown out by him. However, Chen Chen felt that Wen Pintang didn’t seem to love Xie Hong. His feelings for Xie Hong were different from Dad’s feelings for Mom.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time!” Xie Hong took Chen Chen’s hand as soon as she came up to her. “Before my leaving, Tuan Zi asked me to take care of you!”

Early that morning, Tuan Zi was sent to the Wen family by Jiang Rui, and she said that she would do physical experiments with Wen Zeyu.

Chen Chen opened her eyes widely. She was about to show her contempt for Tuan Zi, when she saw Bai Weirong approaching in a cheongsam. She stared at her belly for a long time. Then Xie Hong touched her and whispered, “Do you know that, too?”

“Yeah, Brother Xiao Rui told me that.”

Bai Weirong was gorgeous that day. She stood in front of them, smiling enchantingly. “I didn’t see you at the church and thought you were not coming.”

“We would definitely attend your wedding banquet!” Xie Hong said with a smile, “Congratulations.”

Jiang Rui was expressionless, while Wen Pintang and Chen Chen were silent. She had to reply herself.

“Thank you.” Bai Weirong gazed at Jiang Rui’s face for a moment, and then looked at Chen Chen. Suppressing her jealousy, she said, “I wonder when I can attend Miss Chen’s wedding banquet.”

She satirized Chen Chen who didn’t hold a wedding ceremony while marrying Jiang Rui, but she did not know that Chen Chen could not remember obtaining the marriage certificate stating she had married Jiang Rui.

“Miss Bai, you’d better worry about yourself. You’re so talkative during pregnancy.”

Jiang Rui’s words led to some changes in Bai Weirong’s expressions. “How… How did you know…?”

She didn’t say anything about her pregnancy. After all, it wasn’t anything to boast about. But Jiang Rui certainly had the ability to know it, or there was no one in that circle who didn’t know.

“Jiang… Jiang Rui, I…” Seeing Jiang Rui glance at her with disgust, Bai Weirong got crazy again. “You have to believe me. You are actually the one I like!”

Chen Chen burst into laughter and looked at Bai Weirong in surprise. The bride actually bared her love to another man at the wedding banquet, which was too…

“Miss Bai.” Xie Hong reminded her. “Don’t forget what the occasion is today.”

Bai Weirong didn’t know when Lu Tao had stood behind her; he held her waist and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.” Bai Weirong pretended to smile.

“The dinner is ready. Go to change your clothes!” Lu Tao nodded to them. “Mr. Wen, Chief Jiang, help yourselves to some drinks!”

Jiang Rui was expressionless, while Wen Pintang smiled slightly. “Let’s go in, too!”

Naturally, they should sit down in the seats of honor. There were some fancy cards, which were marked with a particular name, on the table. Chen Chen was surprised to find that Jiang Rui and her were designated to sit down at different tables.

“Sit down beside me.” Jiang Rui sat her down, while Wen Pintang and Xie Hong sat opposite them. Xie Hong gave her a look to comfort her. “Rest assured that no one will make a fuss about a seat.”

Chen Chen stopped thinking about it, but the other three knew the reason. How stupid Bai Weirong was! What’s the point of doing such a thing?

“Juice or sweet wine?” Jiang Rui looked at his lady beside him.

Chen Chen wore a purple cheongsam that day. Jiang Rui was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she wrapped her in a short black mink cloak. Wearing the white gemstone jewelry, she looked like a noble and enchanting flower. Especially when she squinted at him with a smile, Jiang Rui’s heart was completely melted.

“Sweet wine!” Chen Chen didn’t know of the flutter in his heart, squinting at her with a smile.

Jiang Rui asked about Xie Hong’s choice, and she naturally agreed. Jiang Rui turned around and called the waiter to serve the sweet wine. However, maybe there was something wrong with the waiter, since he actually poured the wine on Chen Chen’s cheongsam when he was about to serve it.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” The waiter also knew that any of the guests present were either the rich or the officials, so he apologized in a state of panic.

Xie Hong quickly helped her clean the cheongsam with a napkin, and Jiang Rui angrily let the waiter go. “No, just change to another one.”

“Change to another one?” Chen Chen stared at him. “Are you going to buy another one now?”

Xiao Si, who was sitting beside them, chuckled and handed her the bag he had been carrying. “It’s a spare one!”

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to change clothes.” Xie Hong had taken it and dragged Chen Chen away to the lounge before she reacted. She said to Chen Chen on the way, “Generally, we would place one or two spare clothes in the car when we attend such a kind of banquet.”

Chen Chen tutted. “I didn’t know!”

“Well, Chief Jiang asked me about that before. I specifically told him to take a spare one.” Considering that the usually indifferent man was so nice to Chen Chen, Xie Hong was somewhat envious of her. “You…”

“Me?” Seeing that she didn’t finish her words, Chen Chen asked.
