He said he wanted me to come so I came

  Because Jian Yi married Qiji's daughter, their family had unprecedented face, and all relatives fawned on them. Zhou Mingyan's confidence soared for a time.

  Originally, Song Yu was going to find someone else, and she wouldn't have objected, but instead would have been quite afraid. However, Song Yu insisted on seducing Jian Yi, ruining her son's good marriage prospects. The prerequisite was that the person Song Yu found had to be an ordinary person, and must be vastly different from the Qi family.

  This is great, Song Yu found Qi Chengzhi, the future head of the Qi family, and directly suppressed Jian Yi by a whole head, which made Zhou Mingyan's breath unable to be smooth.

  "Keep your voice down! Let people know you're not good to your son either, when can you pay attention to the occasion?" Jian Shibao pulled Zhou Mingyan hard and warned in a low voice.

  "Hmph!" Zhou Mingyan flung open his hand, unwilling to give in. "So what if people hear? It's not like our son likes her, it's she who likes our son! Who knows what tricks she used to deceive the young master of the Song family into marrying her? That person must not know Song Yu's true nature. If my words are heard by others, then so be it, at least they'll know her true nature too. If it reaches the ears of the Qi family, they won't be deceived! That Yu Qianying, always saying she has nothing to do with the Qi family, but behind their backs, isn't she trying to marry her daughter into the Qi family so she can live a good life? I said it before, how could she be willing to live a hard life?"

  "Shut up!" Jian Shibo couldn't help but scold her severely for the first time, "Are you uncomfortable if you don't stir up trouble? What kind of occasion is this and can't you control that mouth of yours? It's a happy thing that your son is getting married, can't you just stop causing trouble?"

  "You—" Zhou Mingyan was about to retort, but Qi Chengyue had already changed into a formal attire and came out with Jian Yi again, preparing to make a toast table by table.

  Logically, even if the groom's family and the bride's family sat separately, they should have first toasted the groom's parents. Zhou Mingyan adjusted her clothes, with a smile on her face, waiting for them to come over, and had already lifted the wine glass halfway, about to stand up, when Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue turned around and went to the bride's parents' table instead.

  Zhou Mingyan's smile froze on her face, her skin twitching nonstop, and she stiffly sat back down in her seat. She saw that at the table, apart from Old Man Qi and his wife, there was also Qi Youxuan gnawing on a chicken leg, while everyone else stood up.

  The old man and the old lady sat down and accepted the toast from the two of them, each taking a small sip.

  At the arrival of Qi Cheng and Song Yu, Qi Cheng held a glass of red wine in his right hand and had Jian Yi's arm hooked in his left. He raised an eyebrow and gave a faint smile, "Song Yu, I didn't expect you to show up today."

  "Since you asked me to come, I'm here." Song Yu said lightly, holding up the red wine, "Congratulations to you both."

  This blessing is sincere.

  She doesn't like Jian Yi and Qi Cheng Yue, but she sincerely hopes they get along well, so that Qi Cheng Yue will bother her less.

  She really can't take this couple in front of her anymore.

  Qī Chéng Yuè gave a cold smile, took the wine glass and walked over, clinking it against Sòng Yǔ's cup. Sòng Yǔ was unprepared and didn't expect Qī Chéng Yuè to have such great force in his toast, even producing a loud crashing sound of glasses.

  Song Yu's wine glass was knocked into her own chest, startling Song Yu. At this time, it was already too late to dodge, and the red wine in the glass was about to spill onto her body. Suddenly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and clinked another glass against Qi Chengyue's glass with great force.

  The slender white hand grasping the stem of the wine glass was too familiar, and even in this critical moment, Song Yu could recognize it at a glance. That elegant hand with its well-defined bones belonged to Qi Chengzhi.

  Only to see Qi Chengzhi's wrist lightly flip over, the action is elegant and effortless, and he didn't seem to use any force, but he pushed Qi Chengyue's wine cup back. Song Yu hurriedly stabilized his own wine cup, the red wine inside was swirling around in the cup for a few times before slowly calming down, without really spilling out. Song Yu let out a sigh of relief, and didn't lose face.

  Qī Chéng Yuè, who was supposed to be the bride, wasn't so lucky. The wine cup that was originally tilted towards Sòng Yǔ suddenly leaned towards her instead. Moreover, Qī Chéng Zhī's movement was sudden, and she was even less prepared than Sòng Yǔ, never expecting Qī Chéng Zhī to make a move.

  In an instant, before anyone could react, Qi Cheng Yue's wine cup tilted and the wine spilled all over his formal attire.

  She wore a goose-yellow mini leather skirt specially designed by the designer for her, with a very fluffy and cute hem, and a piece of goose-yellow fabric made of wedding dress material was attached to the back of the leather skirt, all the way down to her ankles.

  Because as a leather skirt, the selected skin is particularly soft and easy to absorb water. Red wine splashed on it quickly stained a large patch of red wine stains from top to bottom, looking like menstrual blood.

  The material of the skirt itself was quite smooth, with less friction than woven fabric. The red wine slid quickly down her chest, all the way to the hem and then dripped onto the floor.

  "Ah!" Qi Chengyue let out a completely uncharacteristic shrill cry, this was her favorite little dress that she had chosen for the wedding, which could even be worn to banquets on ordinary days, and if you remove the piece of fabric at the back, it would become another style, such uniqueness was what she especially liked.

  It's all ruined today!

  The clothes have been stained with red wine and can't be cleaned. This garment is now unwearable!

  That's secondary, what matters is that her good mood today has vanished completely.

  Since she met Song Yu, she had been very unlucky and never had good fortune.

  Song Yu is here just to make trouble for her!

  Good wedding, Song Yu came over to stir up trouble!

  In her opinion, Song Yu was deliberately coming over to make trouble for her!

  She didn't even get a chance to toast and already spilled wine all over her clothes!

  Qī Chéng Yuè's face became increasingly hideous, almost losing control and on the verge of an outburst, regardless of the occasion. Guān Lì Yǎ hurried over, still clutching a tissue in her hand, wiping away the red wine stain on Qī Chéng Yuè's clothes while soothing her temper, "How is it? Nothing wrong?"

  Zi Chengyue didn't say a word, her eyes staring fiercely at Song Yu.

  Guan Liya was nervous, afraid that Qi Chengyue would make a scene regardless of the occasion, and by now many guests had already begun to whisper to each other.

  "Take her back and change her clothes." Qi Chengzhi said indifferently, his words were directed at Jian Yi.

  Jian Yi pursed his lips, glanced at Qi Cheng Yue, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. As he did so, his hand pressed gently on her shoulder, "Let's go, first go back and change your clothes."

  "Go change your clothes." Gu Liya also advised, carefully turning Qi Chengyue's body and gently pushing her.

  Qī Chéng Yuè was pushed by Guān Lì Yǎ, turned her head with red eyes, and said in a suppressed low voice to Sòng Yuè: "Are you satisfied now? My wedding, you had to come and stir up trouble, didn't you? Sòng Yuè, you're too much!"

  Song Yu irritably took a deep breath. Obviously it was Qi Chengyue who should have been splashed with wine, but now the situation had turned around.

  "The wedding is over, we still have things to do, so let's go first." Qi Chengzhi stood in front of the table, his eyebrows and eyes didn't move slightly, as if this was not his own sister's wedding, but a stranger's.

  Qī Zhòngliáng's gloomy face had long since frozen stiff. He should have known it would turn out like this, and they should have been sent packing the moment they arrived!

  No one spoke, and Qi Chengzhi took Song Yu's hand. His palm was thin and powerful, holding hers particularly firmly.

  Throughout the whole process, Song Yu never expressed his opinion and followed Qi Chengzhi's every decision in a very obedient manner.

  As the two walked to the entrance of the Wang Dynasty, Qi Chengji had just gotten out of a green military jeep. Seeing the two of them, he was also stunned for a moment, knowing that his big brother dared to do anything, but still didn't expect that today in this situation, he would even dare to bring Song Yu over, wasn't this directly provocative?

  He and Song Yu's matter, the Qi family didn't even have time to hide it, but today Qi Chengzhi brought Song Yu out without giving his family any preparation, letting everyone see their relationship, this is not giving his family a chance to say "no"!

  Qī Chéng Jī's gaze involuntarily fell on the two tightly clasped hands, Sòng Yǔ was even younger than him and had been familiar with her since childhood. In his eyes, she was like a little sister to all the Qī brothers, and his feelings for this little sister were even more affectionate than those for Qī Chéng Yuè.

  At that time, Qi Cheng was already in college, while Song Yu was still in elementary school learning to write Chinese characters. Now they are together as a couple, but Qi Cheng can't help feeling a little strange about it.

  "How did you get out first?" asked Qi Chengji.

  "There's a bit of trouble inside." Qi Chengzhi said lightly, his mouth curling up slightly in mockery.

  ……

  ……

  Jian Yi brought Qi Cheng Yue back to the rest room, then let go of her, took out a cigarette and lighter from his pants pocket, lit it up and leaned against the wall to smoke.

  From that night on at Song Yu's doorstep, he tried taking his first puff of smoke and after getting choked, he forced himself to learn how to smoke.

  At the age of twenty-eight, I just learned how to smoke, which is also quite ironic.

  "Everyone get out!" When Qi Chengyue came in, her disheveled appearance shocked the makeup artists. The expressions on their faces further enraged Qi Chengyue, who shrieked and chased everyone out.

  After the man left, Qi Chengyue shouted loudly: "What does Song Yu mean! She just can't stand me being good with you, and she has to come over to make trouble, right? She's here to cause trouble today! She must have had a crush on you and was jealous of me, so she came to take revenge on me!"

  Jian Yi irritably took a deep drag on his cigarette, still unable to suppress the fire in his heart. He was annoyed by Qi Cheng Yue's behavior, but he couldn't show too much emotion on his face.

  "This is my favorite dress, she insisted that I wear it to her wedding to make a fool of myself! How can her heart be so vicious? What did my brother see in her?! He was deceived by her hypocritical appearance! She's been pretending to be better than everyone else since childhood!"

  Jian Yi didn't say a word, but Qi Chengyue kept scolding nonstop.

  Jian Yi finally couldn't bear it and impatiently said, taking a drag on his cigarette and exhaling a thick white mist: "If you hadn't made the first move and deliberately bumped into her wine glass, it wouldn't have led to Qi Chengzhi coming out to protect her and spilling your wine."

  "What do you mean, what's with the 'I did it on purpose'?! I had no idea! I just lightly touched her and she's acting like I bullied her on purpose, framing me! I didn't even use any force, she herself tilted the wine glass onto her body!" Qi Chengyue suddenly glared at Jian Yi.

  She was furious, her shoulders shaking non-stop under the strapless mini leather evening dress, "Are you helping Song Yu and not helping me?"

  "I'm just stating the facts, at least that's how I see it." Jian Yi puffed out a mouthful of smoke, "If you hadn't made the first move, Qi Chengzhi wouldn't have stepped in to protect her, and your suit wouldn't be stained. Right now, we'd still be toasting in the banquet hall, and the guests wouldn't be gossiping nonstop behind our backs."

  "After all, you're still helping her, from today on I'm your wife, why do you believe her and not me? Don't you think Song Yu is the kind of person who plays tricks? Do you think she's that good? If she were really that good, how could she have seduced my brother? That takes a lot of skill to make my brother willing to go against his family to be with her."

  Qī Chéng Yuè's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly walked towards Jiàn Yì in high heels. She reached out and pulled the cigarette from his lips, throwing it to the ground. "When did you start smoking!"

  Jian Yi pursed his lips tightly and exhaled a mouthful of white smoke heavily, saying in a low voice: "The pressure is too great, so I smoked."

  Zi Chengyue frowned, where did he get the pressure from?

  "I told you there's nothing between me and Song Yu, but you didn't believe me. She's already with Qi Chengzhi now, and you still don't believe me. Chengyue, think about it, wasn't it always you who provoked her? If you hadn't provoked her, where would all these unpleasant things have come from? You said you didn't intentionally knock over her wine glass, but did you really not do it? Your heart knows the truth. If you were fine with this, there wouldn't be any problems with this wedding and you could just be happy. To put it bluntly, all this anger is something you brought upon yourself."

  Jian Yi took a deep breath, and the rough sound of his inhalation became particularly noticeable in the quiet room.

  "Calm down for now, I'll let them in to help you change your clothes. You still have to continue with the toast later, if you stay here, who knows what they will gossip about outside."

  "Frankly, you're just helping her!" Qi Chengyue pouted and tears began to well up in her eyes. "You're my husband, shouldn't you be like my brother, helping me like he helped Song Yu? Shouldn't you stand by my side no matter what? My brother just knocked over my wine cup, why didn't you help me?"

  At least give Song Yu a splash of wine and let her leave in embarrassment!

  "Today is our wedding, do you really want to make a scene so ugly?" Jian Yi sneered, curling up one corner of his mouth and lightly cold-smiling, "Turning a good wedding into a farce for others to laugh at, is this what you want?"

  Zi Chengyue couldn't say a word, she naturally wanted the wedding to be beautiful and envied by everyone, unforgettable for life, but who let Song Yu come over to add trouble for her?

  The tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally rolled down, still warm, and slid down her cheeks.

  "I just wanted a beautiful wedding, I wanted it to be unforgettable for the rest of my life, I wanted everything to go smoothly... what's wrong with that? Why... why did Song Yu have to bully me like this?"

  Jian Yi no longer bothered with her, and whatever she said was all in vain.

  He didn't expect that Qi Cheng Zhi would protect Song Yu so resolutely, ignoring Qi Cheng Yue's stance and acting so decisively.

  He opened the door and said to the attendant standing at the entrance: "Help her get ready as soon as possible."

  ……

  ……

  Zhou Mingyan's face looked terrible, and she couldn't even eat her vegetables. The table was full of delicacies: sea cucumber, abalone, fish maw, and bird's nest, but none of them tasted good to her.

  Zi Chengyue and Jian Yi went to toast the Qi family, it's already a bit much, but they still came, and something unexpected happened, as a result, until now, people have not come out yet, she hasn't even had a sip of the wine that her daughter-in-law toasted, was Song Yu doing it on purpose?!

  That day they ran to Song's house to show off, so Song Yu harbored resentment and deliberately gave her trouble today.

  The relatives at the same table were wolfing down their food, and while eating, they didn't forget to stir up trouble. "Marrying a rich daughter-in-law is not good in this way, can't control her. In terms of momentum or status, we are far inferior to them, so even if they don't take us seriously, there's nothing we can do. I think today's situation is basically that Jianyi's son has become a live-in son-in-law."

  Zhou Mingyan's face sank, and her chopsticks slapped loudly on the table as she coldly stared at her eldest uncle.

  "Haha, Ming Yan, don't take it to heart, he's just not good at talking. Although what he said was unpleasant, there is some truth to it. Just look at Jian Yi's behavior today, she's completely led by her nose by her husband. When he gets back, you need to have a good talk with him and also discipline Xiang Yue a bit. Even though we're just an ordinary family, as her mother-in-law, you deserve respect, and can't let her look down on us just because we're not from a wealthy family like the Qis. Once she married into the Jian family, everything should be prioritized for the Jian family's sake, and stop thinking of herself as some kind of precious daughter of the Qi family."

  "Just like today, you're separated from the Qis at two tables, that's fine. But when it comes to toasting, they even went ahead of us. I think the order shouldn't be determined by status. This is because the Qis don't have us in their hearts. Does Cheng Yue not care about you? When you get back, you must speak up for them. Otherwise, if this continues, it won't just be Cheng Yue who doesn't care about you, even Jian Yi will ignore you. In the end, your son, whom you've raised with so much difficulty, has become a son-in-law in a wealthy family. Everyone around us knows that Jian Yi married a rich young lady. Later on, we'll be ridiculed by our neighbors!" said Zhou Mingyan's sister-in-law.

  Zhou Mingyan's face was getting increasingly ugly, but she also listened to her sister-in-law's words and felt that what she said made some sense.

  "Don't spout nonsense, are you afraid that your family won't be in chaos?! There's an old man and an old lady at that table, if we really follow the order of seniority, we should go to that table to toast first." Jian Shibo thought, today shouldn't let big brother and sister-in-law sit at this table, they're all just a bunch of people who are afraid that the world won't be in chaos!

  "Little uncle, you can't say that." Big sister was about to continue, but heard Zhou Mingyan coldly open her mouth, "I think big sister makes sense."

  ……

  ……

  Since they didn't have dinner yet, Qi Chengzhi simply took Song Yu out for a meal as soon as they left the palace.

  Being with Qi Chengzhi, even the place to eat has a certain standard, and the restaurants are all high-end. The most common ones are Wang Chao and Hong Ding. Even Sheng Yue rarely goes there, and it's rare for anyone to enter Qi Chengzhi's eyes.

  At this time, the Wang family was busy with the wedding banquet hosted by the Qi family, so they naturally couldn't eat at the Wang's house. Hongding was also very far away, so when Qi Cheng asked Song Yu what he wanted to eat, Song Yu suddenly thought of eating street food.

  The palace is separated by a square, and the street next to it is a snack street, which is quite famous. However, locals rarely go there, and most of the people who go are tourists, especially foreigners, whose situation is particularly serious. The things are very expensive, but the taste is not bad.

  Because of proximity, Qi Chengzhi still took Song Yu to that street.

  After parking the car, as soon as they got out, Song Yu took the initiative to put her hand into his palm.

  The weather has warmed up now, although they still need to wear thick coats, but not as bulky as down jackets. Qi Chengzhi wasn't wearing gloves either. The two of them stuck together tightly, holding hands and their arms were also wrapped around each other.
