Chapter 138

*Clack. * The gorgeous banquet hall's main door opened, and the beautiful but cold bride-to-be and the handsome but frowning groom-to-be finally appeared at the door, with their worried parents standing beside them.

The wedding customs in the small city had always been a grand Western-style engagement and a small Chinese-style wedding. So, although it was an engagement, Nie Xiaoqian wore a snow-white, beautiful long wedding dress.

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian lifting her wedding dress and about to walk toward He Lele, Chen Chen hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Xiaoqian, today is our engagement banquet! Even if you want to make a scene, don't do it today!" Chen Chen persuaded in a low voice.

Nie Xiaoqian shook off his hand. "I've waited four years, just for this day! The shame she gave me, I'll return it all to her today!"

"Xiaoqian!"

He Lele looked at Nie Xiaoqian approaching calmly and helplessly. She just wanted to say one thing—

"... Is it worth it? Even if you resent me and hate me, is it worth it to use such a day to take revenge on me?"

Nie Xiaoqian curled her lips and smiled slightly. "Do you know what it's like to be betrayed by a friend? I'm really curious, how could someone like you still have someone to be friends with! You didn't expect me to use Cui Yaran's name to trick you into coming, right? I was originally worried that you and Cui Yaran were still in contact, but when I heard you mention her back then, you said you didn't have her phone number anymore. Now that I think about it... she probably stopped treating you as a friend long ago, and you were still foolishly wanting to get into her university! You were just being sentimental."

After finishing speaking to He Lele, Nie Xiaoqian took the microphone and smiled like a flower. "Thank you all for coming. I'm really happy today. It hasn't been easy for Chen Chen and me to get to where we are today. We've had many arguments over the past four years, but I've never thought about breaking up with Chen Chen. For this, I must thank a former desk mate of mine. It was her who constantly reminded me that I must be happy and must grow old with Chen Chen! This desk mate is by my side now. Many relatives and friends may not know her, but perhaps you have heard her name... Her name is He Huan."

The banquet hall was silent for a while, and soon messy whispers arose.

The small city wasn't big. If you met someone on the road and chatted for a few sentences, you might find that your social circles overlapped. And He Huan...

"That's right, she is the legendary girl of our small city. In elementary school, she seduced a PE teacher, and in middle school, she started promiscuous sex and had abortions. Doesn't she look like it? That's right, I didn't believe it at first either, and I kindly treated her as a friend. And her... after knowing I liked Chen Chen, she actually shamelessly ran into the men's restroom to try to seduce Chen Chen! And, and she even posted my private letters on the school bulletin board!"

"I invited her here today for no other reason than to tell such a cheap woman that I, Nie Xiaoqian, thank her! Thank her for teaching me to keep my eyes open! Thank her for forcing me to be happy for her to see!"

"Xiaoqian! Forget it." Seeing Nie Xiaoqian getting more and more excited, Chen Chen looked at He Lele awkwardly, trying to pull Nie Xiaoqian away.

He Lele gave a bitter smile. She had long been numb to verbal insults; it was just that her muscles were about to be unable to support her.

"Chen Chen! Do you know, I could have gotten into X University! I could have found a better job and had a better life with you! If it weren't for her, if it weren't for her—" Nie Xiaoqian's tears flowed out in grievance.

Chen Chen embraced Nie Xiaoqian with heartache and looked at He Lele in a dilemma. "You... you should just apologize to Xiaoqian."

She... apologize?

Staring unreasonably at the man who wanted her to apologize, He Lele's hands clenched unconsciously again.

Endure.

Endure.

Unable to suppress the trembling of her whole body anymore—this is human nature! This is a man!

"Is it... as long as I apologize, I can leave."

"... Because she missed X University, Xiaoqian has always had a knot in her heart, so..." Chen Chen explained.

"So... it's all my fault, right?" He Lele turned her head and looked at the guests in the hall. "Fine, I apologize..."

Take good care of yourself, be a little better to yourself.

Lele! Please be a little better to yourself! Love yourself a little more!

The advice of L and Rong Qingfeng swirled in her heart. She also wanted to... she also wanted to love herself more and be better to herself! She didn't want to bear inexplicable charges and suffer unnecessary accusations, but all her previous resistance only resulted in worse results. Everything, only the statements unfavorable to her would be determined as the truth!

Public opinion is a gold-melting furnace, and slander can destroy bones. In this city, except for her parents, no one would believe her, and no one would help her!

"Yes, Xiaoqian, it's my fault, I'm sorry." Giving up, cutting off the hope that wasn't much to begin with, He Lele said coldly and tremblingly.

"You're saying sorry now, don't you think it's too late?" Nie Xiaoqian scolded sharply.

"Yes, it is indeed too late," a mellow and sweet man's voice suddenly sounded loudly at the main entrance.

☆, (12 Fresh Coins) Chapter 128: Honest Candy

He Lele looked in shock at the tall man walking toward her—a silver-gray suit vest hugging his waist, paired with a snow-white shirt and suit pants. The suit jacket of the same color was casually draped over his left arm. He had the perfect physique of a Westerner but a handsome and unparalleled face of an Easterner!

His handsome and tough facial features, deep eyes, golden ratio figure, sexy waistline, and supermodel-like long legs—every step he took was so elegant and graceful, as if the red carpet under his feet was set for him, and he was just walking toward his throne as usual!

"Sorry, baby, I'm late." Mu Wei handed over a light green rose, lowered his head, and left a kiss on He Lele's lips, who was stunned. His expression was somewhat comically helpless. "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to get some cash here."

"Your, your leg..."

"Exactly four weeks. I came over as soon as it was removed. Look at you, you didn't even bring me to such a happy thing as drinking wedding wine."

Happy? He Lele smiled powerlessly.

"Who are you?" Nie Xiaoqian looked at Mu Wei, who had a noble temperament, and asked vigilantly.

"Ah! I almost forgot to introduce myself. I can't help it. I haven't seen my baby for ten whole days, and I've missed her so much that I can't see anything else. My name is Mu Wei, He Huan's prospective boyfriend."
