Chapter 1413 - 1244: Are You Pitying Me? (2)
He reached out to Ji Xiangling, saying, "Hello, Lady Ji, I’ve heard a lot about you!"
Ji Xiangling smiled, "Mr. Yu, you flatter me. I’ve long admired your reputation. Congratulations on marrying such a wonderful girl like Qingyang. You must cherish her and give her happiness!"
Yu Dou gave a faint smile, clasping his hands together, he said, "I will..."
"Ahem..." At this moment, Shi Yuanbo standing next to Shi Nuan suddenly coughed lightly and said with a smile, "Lady Ji has come from afar, surely there must be much to talk about with the newlyweds. I’ll take my wife and Nuannuan to sit for a while, you guys chat..."
Saying this, he pulled Shi Nuan, who was eager to leave, wanting to escape, only to be halted by a voice before taking a step.
Shi Nuan’s eyes lightly trembled because the person calling her was Ji Xiangling.
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, looked towards Ji Xiangling, maintaining a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, "Lady Ji, you called me for... something?"
Ji Xiangling curved her lips slightly, saying, "Nothing much, just heard that Miss Shi seemed to have encountered some unpleasant things a few days ago, is that so?"
Shi Nuan’s eyes lightly trembled, recalling the image of that man pressed against her, a sharp pain stabbed at her heart, causing her fingers holding the glass to involuntarily tighten.
But she struggled to maintain composure, knowing she couldn’t show weakness in front of others.
Especially in front of Ji Xiangling.
She spoke calmly, "Yes, I did encounter some troubles, it’s just..."
She paused for a moment, "Lady Ji should have been absent from T City at that time, how did you hear about it? And who told you?"
What happened that day was only known by her roommates and Shen Zui, Qi Ruison, as well as Song Yansheng, Yao Ziwan, the Shi Family, and a few others should know, others not supposed to know.
Song Yansheng made arrangements with the police, so it won’t spread, naturally there won’t be any so-called hearsay...
Ji Xiangling didn’t show any guilt, saying, "Who else could have said it? Miss Shi’s former boyfriend, Shen Zui. I heard he rescued you this time. Although you two broke up, the affection between you is enviable!"
Shi Nuan pursed her lips, her voice indifferent, "Lady Ji stopped me just to say this?"
Ji Xiangling laughed, "Look at what Miss Shi said, my concern for you turns into something unpleasant... Indeed, I am not familiar with Miss Shi, offering concern may seem odd and uncalled-for!"
Shi Nuan’s voice remained indifferent, "It’s good that Lady Ji has that self-awareness!"
Ji Xiangling was stunned, probably not expecting Shi Nuan to respond that way.
Shi Nuan said, "Alright, Lady Ji’s concern has been expressed, I should be leaving... Dad, shall I accompany you to rest over there?"
Shi Yuanbo quickly responded with a sound, and Shi Nuan took his arm and walked away.
Li Guirong hurriedly followed.
The remaining ones, only Yu Dou, Song Qingyang, and Ji Xiangling whose complexion looked extremely unpleasant.
Yu Dou gave a faint smile, saying, "Qingyang, Lady Ji came especially to attend our wedding, you should accompany her well. I’ll go and greet other guests!"
After speaking, he gave a polite nod and also turned to leave.
Song Qingyang wanted to call out but couldn’t.
Watching Yu Dou walk away, Song Qingyang took a deep breath, saying, "Sister Xiangling, let me find a place for you to sit and rest!"
Ji Xiangling did not move but coldly asked, "Didn’t I ask you to invite Shen Zui to the wedding? Where is he?"
Song Qingyang frowned, saying, "I tried to contact Shen Zui but was rejected by him. I also sent Jiu’er to find him, but he simply ignored us and refused to come..."
Ji Xiangling gritted her teeth, "That kid, still so pathetic, no wonder he lost his love, he deserved it!"
Song Qingyang pursed her lips, saying, "Sister Xiangling, have you truly not moved forward from Second Uncle? But Second Uncle and Nuannuan..."
"I have my own thoughts, you don’t need to ask too much... It’s you, I don’t feel you particularly like Yu Dou, why do you choose to marry him anyway?"
Song Qingyang’s eyes dimmed, saying, "There’s no why, it’s just... just there’s no other choice!"
"I understand that sentiment quite well, isn’t that how I am too? Actually, finding a suitable person isn’t difficult for me, but as you said, there isn’t another choice because you’ve already met the best one!"
...
From the moment Ji Xiangling appeared, her gaze was constantly wandering over Song Yansheng.
Many people present had seen the gossip reports in the newspapers two months ago, knew about the past between Song Yansheng and Ji Xiangling.
But ever since Ji Xiangling appeared here, Song Yansheng seemed not to notice her at all, while Ji Xiangling’s infatuated gaze towards the man moved many people.
