Chapter 2108: Remember Who You Are

~7 min read 1,359 words

Jiang Mobai huffed in annoyance, yet he was perfectly willing to endure it.

This... no matter how one looked at it, it felt like there was a problem!

But suddenly, the two of them stopped bickering and both looked in one direction.

They saw Wei Yangyang had changed into her toasting dress and was walking over gracefully.

At this moment, she had changed into a wine-red, slim-fitting dress.

Although this dress was not as grand as a wedding gown, it did have a small train like a little tail.

As she walked, she swayed with elegance.

Compared to when she first entered, Wei Yangyang was much more composed.

When she saw people she knew, she could even smile and greet them.

While she was exchanging pleasantries with guests, a small child ran over from behind her.

This little chubby kid stepped right onto the hem of Wei Yangyang's dress.

Wei Yangyang did not notice at all and was still walking forward.

As a result, the dress was tugged, and her body lunged forward!

"Watch out!"

Seeing this, the people around them felt their hearts jump into their throats.

Su Kexuan was so anxious she wished she could fly over immediately!

But she had only moved two steps when she saw someone steady Wei Yangyang's body.

As for that person...

Sui Xin?

Wei Yangyang was terrified.

She patted her chest and was about to thank the person who had steadied her.

But after looking up and seeing Sui Xin, she froze.

It took two or three seconds for her to recover, and then she said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Sui Xin had lost some weight.

Seeing that Wei Yangyang was standing steady, she maintained her distance.

Then, she explained somewhat awkwardly, "I came with my father. Congratulations to you, happy wedding."

"Thank you."

After a simple word of thanks, there was a bit of an awkward silence between the two.

At this moment, Li Xingyan walked over quickly.

He had only been separated from Wei Yangyang for two or three minutes.

Yet when he looked up again, he saw Sui Xin standing right in front of Wei Yangyang.

This crazy woman was completely unreasonable.

Li Xingyan hurriedly shielded Wei Yangyang and questioned Sui Xin, "Why are you here?"

"I..."

Before Sui Xin could explain, Sui Xin's father squeezed over and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, Sui Xin came with me."

"Who are you?"

"I am Sui Xin's father, this is my business card!"

Sui Xin's father took out the prepared business card and handed it over.

But Li Xingyan had no intention of taking it at all; instead, he continued his questioning: "Do you have an invitation?"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence; my uncle's sister-in-law is the best friend of your uncle's cousin."

This... what kind of convoluted connection is that!

Li Xingyan's brows furrowed slightly, and he decided to have someone check the invitation later.

If it was truly obtained through proper channels, then he would let the matter go.

But if not...

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes, then waved his arm: "The guests are sitting over there, please take your seats."

"Yes, yes."

Li Xingyan no longer looked at Sui Xin and her father.

He supported Wei Yangyang and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Sui Xin just steadied me earlier to keep me from falling."

After hearing this, Li Xingyan looked at Sui Xin again.

His gaze carried a sense of scrutiny.

Under such a stare, Sui Xin's already pale complexion turned even whiter.

Furthermore, she did not dare to look at Li Xingyan at all, so she kept her head lowered, her eyes darting around.

In the end, Li Xingyan did not speak again.

He silently supported Wei Yangyang and walked away step by step.

Once that couple left, Sui Xin's father immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, he had thought the pressure Jiang Mobai exerted was already very strong.

He hadn't expected that Li Xingyan was the true powerhouse!

He reckoned that if today weren't Li Xingyan's wedding, he probably would have been even more unscrupulous!

After Sui Xin's father finished sighing silently, he looked at Sui Xin beside him.

"You performed well just now!"

Because of Sui Xin's quick eyes and fast hands, they had the opportunity to speak with Li Xingyan.

Sui Xin's father felt this was a good start!

The praised Sui Xin smiled faintly.

Afterwards, she turned her head, wanting to look at the backs of the newlyweds.

The result of this turn was that she and Su Kexuan locked eyes.

Su Kexuan had been watching the situation over here.

Although she couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying, she could roughly guess.

As for what Sui Xin was plotting...

Su Kexuan was deep in thought when she felt it go dark before her eyes.

It turned out that Jiang Mobai was using his body to block Su Kexuan's line of sight.

Su Kexuan blinked, tilted her head, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Who knows what Sui Xin is up to? I'm standing here to intimidate her!"

"Ah... intimidate?"

Su Kexuan said this while glancing at Jiang Mobai's leg, which still required a crutch.

Although Jiang Mobai had his back to Su Kexuan and didn't see her eyes shift.

But the two seconds Su Kexuan paused were too obviously suggestive!

Jiang Mobai got anxious all at once.

He turned his head and emphasized, "This is called crushing with presence!"

"You stand here, and that's crushing? Why do I feel like it's a provocation? Perhaps, it's even drawing hatred toward me."

"It's not you..."

Seeing Su Kexuan contradicting him again, Jiang Mobai couldn't help but frown and glare at her.

Su Kexuan wasn't afraid of his glare; she curled her lips and retorted, "Are you using your presence to crush me?"

"No, I'm about to be angered to death by you!"

"If you don't want to be angry, go back and sit properly."

Originally, Jiang Mobai had been tired of bickering with Su Kexuan and intended to go back to rest.

But now...

"No, I have to follow you, so I don't give Sui Xin a chance to hurt you!"

"Hurt me? Don't you worry about it. Sui Xin has already admitted in public that she self-harmed because she was emotionally stressed, and she also apologized to me; what happened before is already in the past."

"Are you sure it's really in the past? I'm afraid this woman has only temporarily retracted her fangs!"

Su Kexuan did not comment on Jiang Mobai's words.

She just looked at Jiang Mobai with a half-smile and asked, "Why so cautious? Scared of being set up?"

"How could I be scared? It's just that whenever I think of that crazy woman waving a knife around you, I just..."

Jiang Mobai's words were not finished.

But Su Kexuan could feel his nervousness from his tense jawline.

If it were before, Su Kexuan would definitely have mocked him for being so paranoid.

But at this moment, Su Kexuan actually didn't do that.

She just said very calmly, "I can protect myself."

"Then what if?"

"What 'what if'? Today is a good day; can we not talk about such unlucky topics?"

Jiang Mobai didn't make a sound.

Su Kexuan also calmed her strange mood and then said, "Alright, I'm going back to taking photos."

After speaking, Su Kexuan looked around for Wei Yangyang's figure.

Upon finding her target, she lifted her feet and walked away.

Jiang Mobai still followed silently behind, sticking to her like a shadow.

As for Sui Xin...

Her eyes were staring straight at those two people, as if she had lost her soul.

Suddenly, Sui Xin heard a burst of coughing.

She looked toward the sound without any consciousness and saw her father's warning expression.

This made Sui Xin jump.

She didn't dare to look anymore and hurriedly lowered her gaze.

Sui Xin's father, however, had already turned cold-faced and warned, "Remember what your status is!"

"I, I remember!"

"Better that you do!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy, and the air seemed to freeze.
