Not long after Jiang Lai left, Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe came to the hotel.
As soon as the two entered the door, they went straight to the dining area. Peng Jiahe specially picked the most expensive food and ate it in large chunks. He did not care about the image or occasion, and scolded Jiang Haokun while eating.
"This caviar is good... I can barely swallow it. Let me tell you, Jiang Haokun is a very local tycoon. I can't stand people like him the most. Who can't spend money? After all, this kind of caviar Everything still depends on feelings..."
"Can you be quiet for a while? As promised, you eat and drink well, and we'll leave after I deliver the gift. Don't be too nagging, okay?"
Gan Jing's engagement made Lu Yuan feel uncomfortable. Hearing Peng Jiahe buzzing around like a fly, he felt even more unhappy.
"OK."
Peng Jiahe responded, but still couldn't help but uttered: "If he is capable, he can take over the White House."
"You're not done yet, are you..."
Lu Yuan glared at Peng Jiahe angrily, turned around and left, looking for a quiet place.
"Where are you going?" Peng Jiahe asked.
"Toilet." Lu Yuan said without looking back.
"You cry, don't forget to wash your face before you come out." Peng Jiahe ordered.
After Lu Yuan left, she started eating again, looking around with her eyes while eating.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she saw Yang Chen standing not far away. She immediately ran over and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, you are also here to attend Aunt Gan Jing's engagement party!"
"Otherwise, you can't be here to steal your bride."
Yang Chen glanced at Peng Jiahe. The girl's dress today was not that unconventional. Her dreadlocks were replaced by a shawl, her leather jacket and leather pants full of rivets were replaced by a hoodie, and she was carrying a small backpack on her back. , looks like a normal girl.
"You came here with Lu Yuan, right? Why are you the only one, where is Lu Yuan?"
"Forget it, I was crying in the toilet. I fainted from crying, and I had to go get him." Peng Jiahe is a typical coward and poor talker.
"Then eat more and gather strength. He is so big that you can't carry him." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Really...Hey, Aunt Xu Li! Aunt Xu Li, you are so beautiful today." Peng Jiahe said hello to Xu Li, who was walking over.
While they were chatting, Xu Li came over.
"Jiahe, why are you here? You came with Lu Yuan, right? Where are the others?"
"He went to the toilet."
Peng Jiahe was very serious when talking to Xu Li.
"Gan Jing is getting engaged today, are you here to sabotage it?" Xu Li said.
"Tsk, if only he had the guts." Peng Jiahe rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "If he had the guts, Aunt Gan Jing wouldn't be engaged to Jiang Haokun today!"
"Where is Gan Jing?" Yang Chen was too lazy to listen to Peng Jiahe's nonsense and asked Xu Li.
"Over there." Xu Li pointed toward the venue.
Yang Chen looked in the direction she pointed, and happened to see Gan Jing bumping into a man in a suit.
The red wine in the man's hand almost spilled on Gan Jing.
Then, the two seemed to get into a quarrel and argue.
"what happened?"
Xu Li also saw this scene, and her expression suddenly changed.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Yang Chen immediately walked towards Gan Jing.
But before they could pass by, Jiang Haokun arrived first.
So the three of them stopped and stood not far away to watch.
"Brother Li, my ceremony hasn't even started yet, and you're already drunk." Jiang Haokun greeted the man with a smile on his face, and at the same time helped Gan Jing out of trouble.
"Where did you find such a waiter?" The man glanced at Gan Jing with a hint of drunkenness.
"Brother Li, you are really drunk. This is not a waiter, she is Gan Jing, my fiancée." Jiang Haokun said calmly.
"Your fiancée? I thought she was a waiter." The man looked surprised.
"What's wrong? I made you unhappy. I asked her to apologize to you. Gan Jing..." Jiang Haokun winked at Gan Jing.
"Am I apologizing to him? He was the one who said something rude!" Gan Jing was startled and asked Jiang Haokun in surprise.
"Mr. Li's family and our family are family friends, and the two families have a very deep relationship, so..." Jiang Haokun said warmly.
"So, he should also apologize to me!" Gan Jing interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Haokun, you can't even handle this, I think you're in trouble!"
Mr. Li shook his head with a smile, patted Jiang Haokun on the shoulder, and passed by him.
"call……"
Jiang Haokun let out a long breath, pulled Gan Jing aside, and said to her patiently: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry? What is the occasion today? Can you take my face into consideration?"
"That person's words are so unpleasant, I have to endure it, right? I am also an emotional person!" Gan Jing asked angrily.
"Then who made you feel bad?" Jiang Haokun suppressed his anger.
"Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you today...otherwise, let's go back first!"
"We have an engagement party, you go back first, what's going on?"
"I feel that my current mood is not suitable for staying here. I will only cause trouble for you..."
"Then even if I ask you to act, I have to finish it, okay?"
"Acting? What are you acting for? Who are you acting for?"
Hearing Jiang Haokun's words, Gan Jing's emotions suddenly burst out, and his voice suddenly increased by several decibels.
"Gan Jing!"
Xu Li came over, pulled Gan Jing's arm, and then said to Jiang Haokun: "You go and do your work first. I'll talk to her!"
"Huh...Gan Jing is in a bad mood today, please help take care of me. I'll excuse you now!"
Jiang Haokun took a long breath, nodded to Xu Li and Yang Chen, and then went to greet other guests.
After Jiang Haokun left, Xu Li said to Gan Jing very rationally: "Jing'er, you are such an old man, why are you still acting like a twenty-year-old girl? Today is your engagement party, control your emotions. Do you want to For a moment, you are often aggrieved when dealing with customers. The guests who come today are much more important than your customers. Just treat them as Party A’s customers. If you still think about it, it’s best to endure it for a while. Think of it as a compromise for you in the future, wait until today to settle the score with Jiang Haokun..."
"I understand everything you said...but I just can't control it." Gan Jing's eyes were slightly red, tears lingering in his eyes, full of grievances, and his voice was trembling.
"Relax, relax, take a deep breath, no one blames you..."
Xu Li comforted Gan Jing softly, but Gan Jing's eyes couldn't help but fall.
"I'll take her to touch up her makeup." She said to Yang Chen again, and then headed to the bathroom with Gan Jing on her arm.
"Looking at Aunt Gan Jing like this, Lu Yuan still has some fun!"
Peng Jiahe looked at Gan Jing's back and said to himself excitedly.
…
"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Gan Jing and I's engagement party. You have always provided tolerance and love for my growth, and provided rich experience and encouragement for my family and career. Your success Infected me, your rich experience is a beacon on my way forward. With your recognition, I can continue to move forward. It is really an honor for me to be able to gather with you today..."
On the stage, Jiang Haokun delivered an impassioned engagement speech.
Gan Jing stood next to him like a wooden pile, with no smile on his face.
Applause burst out from the audience.
"Today I want to be especially grateful to my lover, Gan Jing. I am lucky to have met her. Being able to hold hands with her and spend a lifetime together is my hope in this life. Thank you for being willing to marry me."
"Finally, I hope you all have a great time tonight...Thank you all again!"
Jiang Haokun finished his speech, and applause rang out again.
The banquet continued, as if the two of them were just going through a formality, and their speeches seemed to be just an insignificant performance part of the banquet.
After getting off the stage, Gan Jing became more and more angry as he thought about it. He could no longer suppress the indignation in his heart. He walked up to Mr. Li and said coldly, "You know who I am now, right?"
"I know who you are now. When I see you again in the future, I will never call you a waiter again." Mr. Li raised his eyelids and looked at Gan Jing.
"Let me tell you, whether I am a waiter or not, you should apologize to me for your behavior just now." Gan Jing said.
"Huh, apologize?"
Mr. Li sneered and looked at her disdainfully, "I've seen a lot of women like you. Pretending to be aloof is also a way to hook up with men. If you can hook up and get married, you are considered to be relatively high-ranking. Haokun, he is still Since he is relatively young, I will persuade him to sign a prenuptial agreement of some kind. This matter must not be taken carelessly, and don't let a woman like you take advantage of this."
After that, he planned to leave.
"Stop, keep your mouth clean!" Gan Jing immediately stopped him.
"Aren't you the Tujiang family's money? Who would believe it?" Mr. Li looked impatient, and his words were even more explicit and hurtful.
"You're talking nonsense! What kind of man are you who doesn't even have basic respect for women? You must apologize to me!" Gan Jing looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.
"I apologize to you, who do you think you are? Do you believe it or not, as long as I say a word, Jiang Haokun will have another say whether he will marry you or not..." Mr. Li said nonsense.
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Haokun rushed up and punched him in the face.
With a "bang", Mr. Li fell directly to the ground, blood dripping from his mouth and nose.
There was an uproar at the scene!
Yang Chen, Xu Li, Lu Yuan, Peng Jiahe and others rushed over immediately.
"If you dare to say anything about my woman again, try it!" Jiang Haokun pointed at Mr. Li's nose and said viciously.
"Brother, what's the matter? You're so angry." Jiang Lai squeezed in and pulled Jiang Haokun's arm.
"Take him to the hospital and I'll pay for the medical expenses!" Jiang Haokun said coldly.
Immediately, several waiters ran over, helped Mr. Li up, and helped him leave.
"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay, let's continue..." Jiang Lai helped comfort the guests and followed Mr. Li to deal with the beginning and end.
"Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Haokun turned around like an angry lion and said to Gan Jing: "Let me ask you, are you satisfied now?"
This was the first time that Gan Jing saw Jiang Haokun so angry, and he was at a loss for a moment.
"How do you talk to Gan Jing?" Lu Yuan helped.
"What's wrong with you!"
Jiang Haokun yelled at Lu Yuan and walked out angrily.
Gan Jing immediately chased after him.
"This...are they having a fight? Should you take advantage of this?"
Peng Jiahe didn't mind watching the excitement.
"Don't follow me."
Lu Yuan was worried about Gan Jing, so he said something to Peng Jiahe and immediately chased after him.
…
Such farce happened at the engagement party, and the guests had no intention of continuing to talk and laugh, and left the hotel one after another.
"Let's go too." Xu Li said to Yang Chen.
"Well, let's go."
Yang Chen nodded.
The two came to the door of the hotel.
The doorman quickly drove his car over.
Yang Chen got in the car and drove Xu Li out of the hotel. However, before he had gone far, he saw Gan Jing walking along the street in despair.
"Gan Jing!"
Xu Li lowered the window and shouted at Gan Jing.
Yang Chen immediately parked the car on the side of the road.
Xu Li opened the door and got out of the car, and came to Gan Jing's side, "Where are you going?"
Gan Jing shook his head and said nothing.
"Get in the car first."
Xu Li pulled Gan Jing into the car.
Yang Chen started the car and drove aimlessly along the road.
Xu Li and Gan Jing were sitting in the back row chatting.
"Did you and Jiang Haokun quarrel again?"
"Well... I didn't expect it to be like this. Do you think what I did today was a bit excessive?"
Gan Jing feels a little regretful now. After all, Jiang Haokun didn't do anything wrong. What happened today was all caused by her own bad mood.
Xu Li gave her an expression of 'You can feel it yourself'.
"Okay, don't think so much. Let's find a place to have a drink, then go home and take a nap. When we calm down tomorrow, we can have a good talk with Jiang Haokun."
"Yeah." Gan Jing nodded.
Ding ring ring ring... then her cell phone rang.
It was Jiang Haokun who called.
Gan Jing stared at his phone in a daze.
"If you want to pick it up, just pick it up. If you don't want to pick it up, forget it." Xu Li said.
Gan Jing hesitated and answered the phone.
"Gan Jing, where are you? Are you okay? Talk!" Jiang Haokun's voice immediately came from the phone.
Gan Jing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Let me tell you." Xu Li took the phone, "Hey, Jiang Haokun, I'm Xu Li, Gan Jing is with me... Leave it alone, go back and deal with your affairs first... Okay, I'll take a look It’s hers, so be it!”
After hanging up the phone, she said to Gan Jing: "Go to my place today and I'll have a drink with you. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
"Yeah." Gan Jing nodded.
Yang Chen turned the steering wheel and headed towards Xu Li's house.
Xu Li's home is in Minhang, an ordinary community built in the 1990s. It looks a bit old.
Yang Chen bought some wine downstairs, took it to Xu Li's house, and drank with them.
Drinking depends on your state. Gan Jing drank a lot today, and after drinking a few drinks with them, he quickly became confused.
…
midnight.
Gan Jing woke up feeling dizzy and thirsty, which were the sequelae of being drunk.
So he came out of the bedroom and went to the living room to find some water.
Suddenly, a suppressed cry came into her ears. The sound was strange and intermittent.
Gan Jing turned around and saw two figures on the balcony.
The moonlight fell on the two of them through the window, and their shadows were reflected in the living room, swaying constantly.
She walked over curiously...
