Chapter 117

Putting down the invitation, He Lele walked to the kitchen, looked at her parents busy in the kitchen, and rolled up her sleeves with a faint smile... In the evening, the family gathered together to watch a melodramatic family ethics drama. Her mom, who had a low tear threshold, always cried and laughed along with the actors, while her dad helplessly and amusingly handed over tissues, threw paper balls, sent melon seeds, and peeled pears on the side...

This was her happiness; asking for more would be punished by heaven.

September 3rd, cloudy.

"You're going like this? That's not good!"

"It's fine, Xiaoya won't mind."

"It might rain, bring an umbrella!"

"Hmm!"

The weather this year was very strange. The rainy season had passed for a long time, but it still rained frequently. It was clearly thick white clouds when she got on the bus, but in a few minutes, the sky suddenly darkened, and in the blink of an eye, it was pouring rain.

He Lele held her umbrella and entered the hotel. The lobby on the first floor was very quiet, which made her feel faintly that something was wrong, but as soon as she took out the invitation, the waiter very clearly wanted to take her to the banquet hall upstairs, which made her suppress her unease.

The waiter took her into the banquet hall through a side door, and she seemed to be late. The banquet hall was already full, and at a glance—of course, she didn't recognize anyone.

No! Wait!

He Lele suddenly held her breath and looked at the two tables of guests near the small stage, and the guests at those two tables were also looking at her with different expressions!

Slowly shifting her gaze to the curtain next to the stage where the bride and groom's video was playing—

"Alright! Now, let's invite Miss He Huan, the representative of the bride's friends, to come on stage and give a speech!"

☆, (12 Fresh Coins) Chapter 127: Small City Story

He Lele turned to leave, but was blocked by two girls in pink small dresses with beautiful makeup.

"Hi! Old classmates meeting, are you leaving without saying hello?" Girl One sneered.

"Today is Xiaoqian's engagement day. As a former desk mate, since you're here but don't go to send a blessing, isn't that a bit too unreasonable?" Girl Two raised her eyebrows, her smile full of teasing.

"..." Let me pass." He Lele lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Let you pass? Ha! Sure! We'll let you pass if you crawl out!" The two girls laughed until they were shaking.

He Lele lifted her eyes powerlessly and looked at her two high school classmates, "I have never hurt you, why do you have to make things difficult for me?"

The two girls' faces turned cold, "No need for nonsense. Being in the same class as you is already a huge shame, not to mention you were so ungrateful to Xiaoqian! Our class has long wanted to teach you a lesson! It's already four years late, please!"

Four years late... He Lele looked back at the few tables of classmates in front of the small stage. Their faces were either mocking, contemptuous, or at best, indifferent... It turned out that in the hearts of the whole class, she was the object they had always hated?

That was right. Just because they were in the same class as her, they must have received a lot of strange looks, right? Then... let them be, just treat it as if she owed them!

Closing her eyes slightly, He Lele clenched her fists tightly. After a few seconds, she opened her fists and walked toward the small stage calmly. Even though her heart was beating so hard her ears started to ache, even though she could barely control the trembling of her blood, she—would not allow herself to be afraid!

The other guests present hadn't discovered anything wrong and cooperated very well by clapping under the signal of the emcee, waiting for He Lele's speech.

"What... do you want me to say?" Looking at the two tables of classmates, He Lele said calmly.

For a long while, no one answered.

"Just talk about how you seduced Chen Chen back then!" one of the pink-dressed girls shouted.

The guests in the hall were in an uproar. Even the slowest person knew there was a good show to watch at today's engagement banquet. Chen Chen's parents were also blank-faced when they heard this.

"In-law, what's going on?" Chen's father asked.

"This, this! Sigh! Xiaoqian is too mischievous, I'll go find her!" Nie Xiaoqian's mother immediately got up to go to the dressing room to find Nie Xiaoqian and Nie's father.

Seeing this, Chen's father let Chen's mother go to the lounge to call Chen Chen, while he walked to the side of the stage to ask about the situation.

"What? Dare to do it but dare not say it?" The pink-dressed duo sang in harmony.

He Lele's eyes searched among the young people at the front tables. Although she didn't recognize the group of boys in Chen Chen's class, she didn't believe they would be completely unmoved when facing this topic!

Sure enough, a few men looked away as soon as they saw her gaze, refusing to make eye contact with her...

"No matter what happened back then, it's all in the past. Today is the day of Xiaoqian and Chen Chen's engagement. I sincerely wish them—a hundred years of harmony."

"Stop! You want to run just like that? If you want to bless them, you have to wait for them to come, right?"
