With the sound of water splashing in front of her, Jiang Yansheng was tidying up his bangs.
Out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the tip of a shoe coming out of the cubicle, and her hand that was shaking the water stopped.
She looked down at the marble table in front of her, and the figure of a woman in a knee-length white dress slowly appeared on it.
The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes rang out, and the moment she saw Jiang Yansheng, she seemed to be stunned.
"Jiang Yansheng?"
Jiang Yansheng took out a piece of paper from the side, turned around, and looked at the woman who was supposed to be the protagonist of today's meeting. "I remember that the banquet should have started, right? Why are you still in the toilet? "
Qiao Nuo's eyes widened, and she had specially spent three hours putting on exquisite makeup today. In order not to spread the powder on her face, she fanned herself with one hand and sneered at Jiang Yansheng. "Then why are you here? Since you are jealous of how close Lianchen and I are now, why did you come to our engagement party? "
She grabbed the hem of her fluffy skirt and looked at Jiang Yansheng meaningfully. "If I remember correctly, Miss Jiang didn't receive an invitation to my engagement party at all. How dare you come uninvited …"
"I didn't come uninvited."
Jiang Yansheng shrugged indifferently, crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and exerted force. The ball of paper drew a beautiful parabola in the air and fell directly into the trash can at Qiao Nuo's feet.
Her eyes were slightly raised, and she stood with her back straight. Although she had no makeup on her face, she looked more elegant than Qiao Nuo.
"Weren't you there when Mu Lianchen called yesterday?" Jiang Yansheng supported his chin with one hand. "If it wasn't you, then I might as well tell you that Mu Lianchen was with another woman yesterday. Is this what you mean by sticking together like glue?"
Jiang Yansheng overturned the situation. Qiao Nuo was so angry that her face turned red. She gripped her dress so hard that her fingers turned white.
"I'll be next to you." Qiao Nuo gritted her teeth. "What's there to be proud of? Even if he loved you, didn't he still marry me in the end? And you're an old woman who no one wants at all … "
Jiang Yansheng's heart was burning with anger when she heard this. She reached out her hand meaningfully, wanting to touch Qiao Nuo's waist.
"What are you doing!" Qiao Nuo was so shocked that she took a step back. The floor of the washroom was wet, and because of her big movement, she staggered and almost fell.
Jiang Yansheng kindly helped her up. "Why are you hiding? If I'm not supporting you, you might say that I pushed you again. "
Qiao Nuo clutches her wrist tightly because of her nervousness. She can't move at all, as if she is stuck by a steel ring.
Qiao Nuo tidied up her expression and immediately pushed Jiang Yansheng away.
Jiang Yansheng already knew that she was the kind of person who would bite back. She patted the wrinkled corner of her dress and chuckled. "I see that you're wearing a waist-tight dress today. Aren't you afraid of strangling the baby?"
It was already the month of pregnancy, but Qiao Nuo still wore a waist-tight dress just for today's occasion. She saw the slender waist just now. At first glance, it didn't look like she was pregnant, so she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
However, Qiao Nuo's nervous reaction clearly told her the answer.
"What does it have to do with you?" Qiao Nuo snorted. "Let me tell you. Not only will there be no problem with the baby in my stomach, but it will also be born healthy. Don't have any evil thoughts!"
Jiang Yansheng spread his hands helplessly and smiled. "I hope so."
She still wanted to continue speaking, but Qiao Nuo roughly looked at her makeup in the mirror and left as if she was escaping.
Jiang Yansheng stood at the door and watched her leave. He bent his waist carefully and covered his belly with one hand.
It seemed that Qiao Nuo still valued this child very much.
Jiang Yansheng originally wanted to ask her if she knew what happened to An Yajing, but along the way, he felt that the security system of the banquet venue was quite good and thoughtful, so he put the question to the back of his mind.
When he returned to the table, he found that there were a few unfamiliar people at the table.
When Jiang Yansheng sat down, the host on the stage finished his long speech, and the audience applauded thunderously.
The few people at the table glanced at Jiang Yansheng indifferently. They didn't even smile at him. They seemed to be in low spirits.
Jiang Yansheng lowered his voice and asked An Di, who was still focused on cutting the steak, "What's going on? Wasn't there no one here just now?"
An Di rolled his eyes and was not in a good mood. "Don't mention it. As soon as you left just now, a few waiters brought people over to fill the table, and then they insisted that there was one more person at our table. None of them wanted to leave and asked me to show my invitation. When I took it out, they insisted that I went to the wrong table. I explained to them for a long time, and in the end, they reluctantly moved a stool from next door. "
He pouted at Jiang Yansheng. "There it is. It is the one under your butt."
Jiang Yansheng was speechless. It turned out that she could sit down now because An Di argued for her.
A sudden burst of noise and praise interrupted Jiang Yansheng's thoughts. Some of the guests sitting close to the table even secretly took out their phones and began to take pictures of Qiao Nuo, who was standing on the table.
An Di also looked up, but his face was full of regret.
"What a pity. It turns out that we can't see it in the company. Qiao Nuo walks with a hunchback. She can't wear this dress at all."
Jiang Yansheng pursed his lips and smiled, but there was a sudden feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
He didn't know where this feeling of uneasiness came from, but it was like a cold darkness, permeating from all directions. He couldn't see where it was, but it was everywhere.
On the stage, Mu Lianchen was wearing a well-tailored suit. When he didn't speak, he was extremely cold. His eyes only softened for a moment when he saw Jiang Yansheng, but there was a touch of self-mockery and pain in his cold eyes.
Jiang Yansheng looked away and rested his eyes on Qiao Nuo's fair and slender hands.
Now her hands were desperately squeezing deeper into Mu Lianchen's arms. She tried her best to smile, pretending to be calm and peaceful, but Mu Lianchen didn't respond.
Even though Jiang Yansheng was sitting far away, he could see that there seemed to be some cracks in the relationship between these two.
With a "bang", the door of the banquet hall, which had been closed at the appointed time, was pushed open with a bang, and there was a moment of silence.
The cold wind whistled in from the door, and a haggard woman with long hair was standing at the door with her back to the light. When her unfocused eyes saw the two people on the table, who were tightly hugging each other, they suddenly burst into a fiery madness.
"Who is this?" An Di stopped eating the steak unhurriedly, picked up the triangular napkin on the side, and elegantly wiped his mouth. He didn't take the person who suddenly appeared at the door seriously, thinking that it was just a person who was late for the banquet.
But Qiao Nuo, who was standing next to Mu Lianchen, suddenly turned pale.
She grabbed the man's arm and screamed, "Who let her in? Hurry up and get someone to take her away! "
Jiang Yansheng frowned, looked at An Yajing, who broke in like a crazy man, and tightened his grip. "I don't think she is here to give her blessings."
An Di made a long "oh" sound, tilted his head, and guessed, "I think I have seen this at a wedding abroad before. Is she here to kidnap the bride?"
He looked up and down at An Yajing, who was dressed in rags, and shook his head. "But I have never seen someone dressed so shabbily to kidnap the bride."
Jiang Yansheng's heart suddenly beat violently.
She subconsciously looked away from An Yajing.
If the gaze that made her feel cold was not from An Yajing, then who could it be?
It couldn't be Bo Yunhan, who was acting weird at the beginning. She had only met that man once, and there was no enmity between them. It was impossible for Bo Yunhan to be so hostile to her.
Then who was it?
Who was watching her in the dark?
That thought alone made Jiang Yansheng's hair stand on end. She hugged her cold arms, took a deep breath to calm down, and forced herself to tell herself that everything just now was just her imagination.
Mu Lianchen, who was on the stage, glanced at An Yajing with his cold eyes and waved his hand. "Take her out. She is not welcome here."
A few tall bodyguards in black came out of nowhere and walked out empty-handed.
An Yajing curled her lips into a charming smile. She looked at Mu Lianchen's angular face and licked her dry lips. "Why don't you welcome me?"
She pulled her hair as if she didn't feel pain and shouted, "Why didn't you tell me that you were engaged?"
"Don't come closer!"
An Yajing's hand trembled as she reached into her dusty and dirty clothes, as if she was trying to find something.
The bodyguards turned a deaf ear to him and completely regarded An Yajing as a stray dog that broke in.
"I told you not to come close to me. Don't you understand me?"
An Yajing's hand was trembling.
There was a sudden vibration in the air, and a gunshot sounded.
Jiang Yansheng's eyelashes fluttered. She looked at An Yajing in disbelief.
Did this woman really want to die?
She even brought a gun in the place where so many celebrities of Jingcheng gathered?
With a muffled bang, the bodyguard in the front fell straight down with his hand covering his heart. The banquet suddenly became chaotic. Knowing that someone brought a gun in, the women began to scream in panic, especially those who sat at the tables close to An Yajing.
In an instant, all the people who ran away disappeared.
"My God!" An Di lost the knife and fork in his hand, but he didn't forget to cover Jiang Yansheng's eyes like a gentleman. "It's too bloody. Jiang, you're still young. Don't look at it."
Jiang Yansheng's forehead twitched. The suffocating feeling that all the air was sucked out was eased a lot because of An Di's words.
She smiled and patted An Di's hand away. "Run and hide. The one who comes here wants to die."
Looking at her toes, An Yajing suddenly laughed. She slowly raised her arm and pointed the black hole at Qiao Nuo, who was trembling in fear not far away.
"Say it!"
