Chapter 5

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Zhiyin caught a glimpse of the red notification mark on the WeChat icon and clicked in.

The fingertips slipped, and there came dozens of messages from her contacts.

They all offer a few words of comfort in heart after seeing the news on trending, which indicates that today's wedding has become their topic.

Ruan Zhiyin didn't have many friends in China. Most of the people who sent messages became acquainted with her at social occasions with Qin's mother in the past, and they were not that close to her.

She only clicked in the WeChat group of the three.

Her friends Gu Linlang and Ye Yanchu have already scolded Qin Jue and Lin Jingfei for a thounsan times——

Gu Linlang: Damn, I used to think Qin Jue was good, but I didn't expect that I was blind at such a young age.

Ye Yanchu: Please lock them up and let Lin Jingfei experience how Qin Jue’s mother make things difficult for her, to see if Qin’s mother can discover Lin’s hypocrisy.

Gu Linlang: Oh, Jue and I are just brothers and sisters, otherwise we wouldn't have been... Why did you misunderstand again?

Ye Yanchu: Ah!I almost vomited just imagining this. On Valentine's Day, she was deliberately drunk and said that she was harassed and called Qin Jue away, but still feel no shame to say that Yinyin thought too much! Screw brothers and sisters!

Gu Linlang: F*ck, is this necklace Lin Jingfei bought by Qin Jue in auction? He really bought that pink diamond of eight-digit price to help her set up the image of a princess in the entertainment industry? I want to punch her.

Ye Yanchu: Yinyin stayed in the United States to make money for him, just so that he could buy diamonds for other women? ! I really want to slap a Croatian Rhapsody in the man face!

Gu Linlang: I have to let this out. Their shamelessness took away my manner. I want to smash the two into a ball and kick them into the sky, so that they can understand what fairness is when they land!

......

The content that follows is too 'intense'.

Ruan Zhiyin glanced at it and pulled it to the bottom.

Ye Yanchu: Yinyin, can I still be a bridesmaid?

Since Gu Linlang was married, the bridesmaid's task naturally fell on Ye Yanchu.

Ruan Zhiyin originally wanted her to stay at the hotel last night, but she said she was going to deliver the contract to the clients early in the morning, so she didn't come earlier.

Ruan Zhiyin replied: Don't worry, the groom is ready.

Ye Yanchu: (Tears). I didn't expect that a guy like Cheng had a better conscience than Qin Jue.

Gu Linlang: I got it, people like Cheng Yuelin who tramples all the good luck with women with his mouth also has certain advantages.

Ruan Zhiyin: "..."

It's really not necessary to try so hard and praise people like this....

At 11:00, the Simo Hotel, all guests arrive.

Gu Linlang and Ye Yanchu stood in the wedding banquet hall with a smile, and greeted the guests to take their seats.

Grandpa Ruan was staying in bed, Ruan Zhiyin's parents passed away early, and the titular uncle Ji Yijun has been reluctant to involve too much in the Ruan family businesses all these years. As for her “good” uncle Lin Cheng, he must be one of the factors that contributed to Qin Jue's escape from marriage.

Fortunately, she still has two friends.

In the name of Qin Ruan's marriage, today's wedding has invited more than half of the wealthy families in Lanqiao, and the rest are the former students of Lanzhong and A University.

Naturally, it’s no need to invite the Qin family specially. And because of the news of Qin Jue's escape from marriage in the news, only half of the original guests were present.

Most of them were curious about how Ruan family would deal with the marriage, but those who had a good relationship with the Lin family probably wanted to watch Ruan Zhiyin's being publically humiliated on the spot.

Although there are fewer people, it is enough.

Xu Fei and Wang Xin were seated at the table in the middle of the banquet hall. The two were well-known playboys. They liked to organize parties to eat, drink, and have fun on weekdays, and they are quite popular among these wealthy people.

After arriving at the scene, Wang Xin had a brief chat with Gu Linlang and Ye Yanchu, but they didn't say anything but smile, and never mentioned the wedding later, which made him even more curious.

On the other side, the bridal lounge.

Kang Yu, who had finished dealing with the wedding, pushed the door and walked in.

"Miss Ruan, everything is ready."

"Thank you so much, Kang Yu."

Ruan Zhiyin was leaning on the sofa and a makeup artist was standing by her side to put on make up for her. She stared at Kang Yu from the mirror, and then smiled, her glittering eyes looking bright.

Kang Yu shook his head in flattery, "No worries. It's my job, but the groom..."

The wedding is ready, but the groom is gone, ‘gone' in every sense.

Kang Yu thought of her previous complaints——

"As long as that Mr. Qin is not blind, how could he doesn’t like the beautiful fiancee , and treat Lin Qingfei as treasure?"

Just, blame her unlucky words.

President Qin is really blind.

No, the bad man who embarrassed his fiancee for his confidante and escaped from marriage is not worthy of an honorable title! Only deserve to be sent to crematorium and then scatter his ashes along with the wind!

Fortunately, Miss Ruan is not married yet.

Such a beauty. If she wants to marry, she should marry a groom who is virtuous, loyal and good-looking!

As soon as Kang Yu finished talking in her mind,she heard a click.

The door to the lounge was opened.

Kang Yu and the makeup artist looked up at the same time——

An unfamiliar but handsome young man stood at the door. Behind him is the magnificent crystal chandelier in the corridor, and his tall figure covered most of the light.

The indifferent eyes searched in the room for a moment, then he strode in with his long and slender legs.

Ruan Zhiyin, who had finished her make-up, also turned her head back and gazed at Cheng Yuelin's impeccably handsome figure.

The scattered hair fell on his strong browbones. His nose was straight and his lips were thin. The attractive eyes looked like clear ink were as deep as a pool, and the ends of those eyes raised slightly, just like having been wiped with a very light blush.

The two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, and the collarbone was faintly revealed down the smooth neck. He was clearly dressed in a suit and leather shoes, but his body exuded an unrestrained ruffian.

His appearance overlapped with the figure in his memory, which made Ruan Zhiyin stunned for a while.

Cheng Yuelin put one hand in his pocket, walked to Ruan Zhiyin, bent down slightly, and looked at her for a few seconds.

Suddenly, he stretched out the long fingers with well-defined knuckles and tapped her forehead gently.

His lips curled into a shallow arc, and his tone was playful, "What? Ruan Zhiyin, you are so moved by my condescension to be here?"

Ruan Zhiyin narrowed her eyes, thinking about what she wanted from others, barely ignoring his publicity at the moment.

Then she looked down, kept silent for a moment, looked up again, and returned with the same expression—

"Cheng Yuelin, you stepped on my shoes."

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head slowly, and saw that the toe of a women's flat shoe had been stepped on by him.

Under the combined influence of pressure and gravity, the white beads that had been carefully inlaid were just cracked.

Cheng Yuelin, "..."

Ruan Zhiyin, "See? It's cracked."

Cheng Yuelin, "..."

"It's okay. Five thousand yuan, accept the transfer."

Cheng Yuelin was about to laugh when she justly defrauded .

The shiny leather shoes slowly removed the dedicate flat shoe, and he chuckled softly, "Oh, I came here with good intentions. You are really not being grateful so far."

"So did I."

Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows slightly and realized that she still hold a grudge against the 'metaphor' he made in the phone

He stared at Ruan Zhiyin with a half-smile, and carefully looked at her expression, "Oh? Why don't you pretend to be that well-behaved girl anymore?"

Ruan Zhiyin paused when she heard the words, and suddenly remembered the words he always talked about in high school, and it was also said in this casual and careless tone.

  • Ruan Zhiyin, aren't you tired of pretending?

In high school, Ruan Zhiyin's was always considered as the well-behaved, dull, and inconspicuous girl.

She stayed in the orphanage for too long, and she knew that well-behaved and inconspicuous kids would be less likely to be hated and had an easier time.

In school, this rule applies more to girls. If the girl is too outstanding, then the gossip will follow.

Arrogance requires confidence.

Ruan Zhiyin knew the attitude of the Lin family, so she could only rely on her grandfather. But she didn't want to cause trouble to Grandpa, and she didn't want to devote her energy to dealing with trouble. So she was like a snail, desperately shrinking herself.

The behavior of being so obedient and submissive, perfectly stepped on the point that Cheng Yuelin could not bear.

The most fun thing for him to do is to tear off her so-called good temper.

This is also the reason why Ruan Zhiyin and Cheng Yuelin became rivals.

After being stunned, Ruan Zhiyin turned her thoughts around and looked at the man with scrutiny eyes, but did not answer his question.

Instead, she pointed at him and turned to look at Kang Yu, who had long been frozen in the same place —

"With the groom, the wedding can begin."

Yes, Cheng Yuelin has always been very clear that she is not a 'submissive' type, nor is she such a 'well-behaved' person.

She is no longer what she used to be, and she really has nothing to pretend, especially... in front of him.
