Lin Jiaqiao wanted to say a few more words to criticize He Youwei, but when he thought of this, he no longer had the heart to do so.
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
Accompanied by a lively piece of music, a map of the city appeared on the big screen. At the diagonal ends of the map, there were two Q-version figures, walking towards each other with cute duck steps.
The host explained that this was the joint idea of the bride and groom.
The places marked on the map are the meeting places for the two people. Every time the little man passes by a place, a huge love heart lights up.
When the guests exclaimed at the romance, Lin Jiaqiao murmured a name: "... Xiang Xiaoyuan."
Qin Guan heard this and asked, "What does this have to do with Xiang Xiaoyuan?"
Lin Jiaqiao felt a little aggrieved: "She designed this for me. She said she wanted to give it to me as a wedding gift."
Qin Guan couldn't bear to see her like this, so he consoled her: "Maybe you made a mistake. Maybe it was a coincidence of inspiration?"
Lin Jiaqiao said firmly: "No, this is what she drew. Look at the hats of the two little people, there is also the logo of her company."
"We designed this together before." She was a little disappointed. "No wonder she distanced herself from me. It turns out she found new friends."
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone vibrated.
Qin Guan transferred 520 yuan to her.
He poked Lin Jiaqiao's hand and said, "Don't be sad, brother loves you."
Lin Jiaqiao was a little disgusted, "What? I'm older than you."
Qin Guan took the opportunity to hold her hand: "I'm serious, the people who should stay with you will definitely stay with you."
He broke off her index finger and pointed it at himself, "Like me."
"Those who left probably just weren't meant to be together."
As he said this, rose petals flew behind him.
It turned out that the bride and groom had walked to the center of the stage, and at the instigation of the host, the two kissed each other.
The little people on the screen also closed their eyes, with their lips pressed against each other, looking like they were kissing very passionately.
This was a pre-rehearsed segment, but the bride sensed something was amiss.
Noticing his wife's stiffness, Liu Yang asked quietly, "Xiao Ya?"
Xu Yalan looked uneasily at the petals pouring down from above her head.
There were too many of them, far more petals than during the rehearsal, and they were falling so quickly and sharply that it was almost suffocating.
Liu Yang also noticed something was wrong and wanted to pull his wife away, and the rose rain finally stopped.
The couple looked at it again and found that the number of petals was almost the same as during the rehearsal. It was probably because the staff did not control the speed well that made them feel uncomfortable.
The two smiled at each other, and Xu Yalan began to worry that her expression was too ferocious and the photos she took would not look good. She wanted to tell the photographer a few words, but the next second, a crying female voice resounded throughout the banquet hall.
The two little people have disappeared from the big screen, and a beautiful girl has replaced them.
The girl's hair was cut, she was slapped, her clothes were splashed with red paint, she was abused as a "bitch", "whore" and "slut", and was said to be kept by someone and was a slut serving an old man.
This was a serious case of bullying, but those who bullied her just laughed, as if she was born lowly and they were enforcing justice.
By the way, the people who bullied her were Wu Bin, Zhao Xiaomei, Sun Yu, Li Shuangqian, Zheng Zedong, as well as the groom Liu Yang and the bride Xu Yalan.
Lin Jiaqiao stared at the screen and said in disbelief: "...Xiang Xiaoyuan!"
Lin Jiaqiao took the initiative to make friends with Xiang Xiaoyuan.
She is a bit of a face person, and Xiang Xiaoyuan is really pretty. When she reported to the university, everyone was gray, only Xiang Xiaoyuan was so beautiful that she glowed.
Xiang Xiaoyuan Meili is charming, looks very proud, and is not easy to get close to. She doesn't talk much, and no one in the school dares to approach her. There are many rumors about her, most of which are very mean, and she is even more alone.
Lin Jiaqiao couldn't bear to see the beauty suffer, so he took the initiative to show his goodwill, and the two quickly became friends.
Unlike his appearance, Xiang Xiaoyuan is a straightforward person who stands for justice and often goes crazy with Lin Jiaqiao.
How close were they at that time? In the first semester of their sophomore year, Xiang Xiaoyuan was kicked out of the dormitory by her roommates, and Lin Jiaqiao was ready to take her home to live.
Later, she rejected Xiaoyuan and she felt regretful for a long time.
Lin Jiaqiao remembered Xiang Xiaoyuan's short hair, which she had in the second semester of her junior year. She asked Xiang Xiaoyuan about it at the time, but she just said that she wanted to change her hairstyle.
She was busy with her internship at the time and didn't delve into it further.
It turned out that her friend was being treated like this without her knowing.
She felt a sharp pain in her hand and looked down. It turned out that she had punched too hard and her nail had pierced her palm.
"It turned out to be this slut. How unlucky."
She heard someone talking and looked up. It was Sun Yu.
He had a chubby, originally kind face, but now it looked eerie and scary.
Zhao Xiaomei immediately responded, "That's right, she's still haunted even after getting married. - Hey, did you see her recent interview, the one broadcast on TV, where she's a beautiful entrepreneur and doesn't look for many men to have sex with -"
Lin Jiaqiao couldn't listen any longer.
She stood up and asked coldly, "Are your parents dead?"
Sun Yu and Zhao Xiaomei were stunned.
Zhao Xiaomei shook her head blankly, and Sun Yu looked gloomy again: "What do you mean?"
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Looking at the way you were gritting your teeth, I thought Xiang Xiaoyuan had killed your entire family."
Everyone understood that she was unhappy about them saying bad things about Xiang Xiaoyuan.
He Youwei was quiet for a while, then came out to make her presence felt again: "You are indeed Xiang Xiaoyuan's good friend, always protecting her."
Li Shuangqian opened her eyes wide, her gaze wandering between Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan:
"Don't you know that Xiang Xiaoyuan is a well-known bitch who loves to be a mistress? Aren't you worried that your boyfriend will be seduced away by her?"
Lin Jiaqiao's voice became even colder: "I'm not Xiang Xiaoyuan's good friend."
Everyone's expressions relaxed a little, but then they heard her say, "Xiang Xiaoyuan is my best friend."
She looked down at them and said, "You said she was a mistress, a vixen, a destroyer of other people's families, and a bad person with no bottom line. Who among you is the victim?"
"Whose boyfriend or father has spent money on her? Who of you has she had an affair with?"
The staff and the newlyweds' families were running around, trying to turn off the video. But for some reason, the video could not be turned off, and Xiang Xiaoyuan's helpless voice lingered in everyone's ears, no matter how the host tried to smooth things over.
Lin Jiaqiao smiled and said, "No, right?"
"That's right, how could that be possible?"
"How can you, a bunch of rubbish, talk to her?"
"She is the moon in the sky, and you are the maggots in the cesspool. It feels beautiful to have the moonlight shining on you, but you will never touch the moon in your life."
"So you are jealous and crazy, and you use every possible means to discredit her, trying to prove that there is no such wonderful person in the world."
"But you failed."
"Xiang Xiaoyuan is just better than you guys."
"She has made it this far on her own, and she deserves everything she has today."
"So you see, the moon is still the moon, and maggots belong only in the toilet."
After saying that, she left her seat, unwilling to stay with this group of scum for a moment.
He Youwei wanted to add fuel to the fire, but when she saw Ying Zhiwan beside her, she exclaimed, "Young Master Ying!"
Everyone looked at Ying Zhiwan and found that his face was pale, but there was a strange smile on his lips.
He stopped Lin Jiaqiao and asked, "Have you ever thought that you were actually wrong?"
"Everyone thinks she's a bitch, except you—"
Lin Jiaqiao walked up to him and slapped him on the face:
"I've already said that Xiang Xiaoyuan is my best friend, so you'd better be careful with your words."
Lin Jiaqiao looked around at everyone: "Everyone thinks, why do they think so?"
"You're not even worthy enough to talk to her?"
"Because of your loud voices?"
She returned to her seat, and under everyone's gaze, she changed the direction of the teapot so that the long spout faced outwards, and then turned the turntable vigorously.
The glasses on the table were knocked over, and champagne and wine spilled all over everyone.
Amid the shouting and cursing of the crowd, Lin Jiaqiao finally felt a little better.
Zhao Xiaomei wiped the wine stains off her body while complaining:
"What? Is she crazy? Why is she saying such things? It's as if we are bad people. Why are we such bitches?"
Sun Yu mocked, "Birds of a feather flock together. Reporter Lin thinks the person who took the underwear photo is a decent person, but she is probably as slutty as that bitch."
He said to Zheng Zedong: "Old Zheng, look at how Qin Guan is licking his ass on his knees. You are a goddess with great charm."
"Who is Qin Guan?" Li Shuangqian said to Ying Zhiwan while handing him a tissue. "Do you know him?"
He Youwei took the tissue naturally, and while helping Ying Zhiwan wipe the wine stains off his belly, she answered, "He is the prince of 'Da Qin'."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Zhao Xiaomei asked in disbelief: "The 'Da Qin' who is the richest man in this city?"
He Youwei still hated Lin Jiaqiao for making her look bad, and her words were somewhat sour. She said: "Of course, not everyone can afford to let their girlfriend wear high-end clothes every day."
Zhao Xiaomei still found it magical. "When I was in school, Lin Jiaqiao was like a boy. I didn't expect that he had such a method."
She tutted twice, "Isn't this a man bitch? No wonder she plays so well with Xiang Bitch. She was acting so righteous just now, but I'm afraid she told us that she was guilty."
She looked at Zheng Zedong and said, "Old Zheng, you have escaped a disaster."
Zheng Zedong had been sulking since Qin Guan came to the table, but now his expression finally softened. With a sense of revenge, he said, "You don't know, Qin Guan dropped out of school in his junior year."
Wu Bin interrupted, "That can't be possible. Isn't he from the medical school next door? He was the freshman representative when he enrolled. In their school, only the first place in the entrance exam can be the freshman representative."
Sun Yu was very indignant: "Haven't you heard that he is the prince of 'Da Qin'? Even if he wants to ascend to heaven, his father can use money to pave the way for him."
