C12 Purposely Finding Fault
How could Cheng Jin not know what Mo Yi Xuan's expression meant? He still had a calm smile on his face and poured himself a cup of wine. He clinked his cup with Mo Yi Xuan's and Xiao Lili's and prepared to drink it.
However, just as Cheng Jin was about to raise her head, a voice interrupted her, "Xiao Jin, you can't drink, let me help you."
Gu Chen hadn't finished speaking for a long time, and then directly pulled out the wine cup in Cheng Jin's hand.
Actually, Gu Shenwei wasn't trying to shirk the fact that Cheng Jin was slightly allergic to alcohol. Even Mo Yi Xuan didn't know about this secret, but Gu Chen did.
A trace of surprise almost couldn't be heard in Cheng Jin's heart. He stared blankly at Gu Chen's sharp features, and couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
Why? After so many years, Gu Chen still remembered her preferences and even knew her little secret, but she didn't understand him at all.
While Cheng Jinzhen was lost in his thoughts, Gu Shenwei had already finished drinking the liquid in the cup. However, his eyes were clear and clear, without the slightest sign of drunkenness.
Cheng Jin thought that this would be over, but unexpectedly, Xiao Lili suddenly opened her mouth and said, "I've long heard of Miss Cheng's great name. Today is Yi Xuan's and my wedding, I'm afraid this is not appropriate."
As Xiao Lili spoke, she poured a cup of wine for herself and then poured another for Cheng Jin.
"How about this, how about I personally honor Miss Cheng?" Xiao Lili was purposely making things difficult for Cheng Jin, and when she thought about how Mo Yi Xuan was scared out of his wits because of Cheng Jin, she couldn't help but get angry.
Hearing Xiao Lili's words, Cheng Jin only indifferently glanced at her, noticing the hatred in the depths of her eyes. She smiled as she received the wine, only to see that Gu Chen was about to stop her for a long time.
However, Cheng Jin was stubborn and directly drank the entire cup.
Looking at Cheng Jin's resolute expression, Gu Chen couldn't help but furrow his good-looking brows.
Although Cheng Jin was pretending to be calm, Gu Chen could still feel the struggle in Cheng Jin's heart, and only one man was able to make Cheng Jin struggle.
Gu Chen looked at Mo Yi Xuan for a long time. He saw that Mo Yi Xuan was also looking at Cheng Jin. His face darkened. After a while, he slowly said, "It seems that Miss Xiao likes forcing people to do things."
"This …" When Xiao Lili heard Gu Chen's mysterious tone, her delicate face froze. After a long time, she finally reacted and smiled awkwardly, "I was just thinking that Miss Cheng and Yi Xuan know each other, that's why I'm here to pay my respects to Miss Cheng."
Gu Chen didn't want to continue listening to Xiao Lili for a long time. At this time, he looked at Cheng Jin and asked, "How are you right now?"
Cheng Jin's face was slightly red, but he still calmly waved his hand. As he put down the cup, he pretended to be calm as he glanced at Mo Yi Xuan. Then, he turned around and went back to his seat.
However, even though Cheng Jin's actions weren't too obvious, they were easily caught by Gu Chen. He withdrew his gaze and then sat beside Cheng Jin, worriedly saying, "If you're not feeling well, I'll accompany you back first."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Cheng Jin absentmindedly raised her head and met Gu Chen's gaze. After a long time, she recovered and shook her head with a smile, "I'm fine. I'll be fine after a short rest."
Seeing Cheng Jin trying to be brave, Gu Chen felt a little strange and the aura around him lessened.
When Father Mo saw that Gu Chen's expression wasn't too good, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. He only signaled Mo Yi Xuan and Xiao Lili with his eyes.
After three rounds of drinking.
Cheng Jin also felt that something was amiss because of that wine cup. Seeing that Gu Chen was still talking to Father Mo, she could only speak in a small voice, "I need to go to the washroom first."
Gu Chen listened for a long time. He looked at Cheng Jin uneasily. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded his head and said, "Then come over earlier."
However, Cheng Jin acted as if she didn't hear him. She merely walked towards the washroom. Gu Shenwei watched Cheng Jin's back for a long time, his brows knitted even more tightly.
Cheng Jin, is the reason why you purposely made yourself strong like this, Mo Yi Xuan?
Cheng Jin, you should know that as my woman for a long time, I don't need to be strong.
"Mr Gu, come, come. Let's continue drinking …" Seeing Gu Chen staring at Cheng Jin's back for a long time, Father Mo smiled and poured another cup of wine for Gu Chen.
Gu Chen took his time to retract his gaze and tightened his grip on the cup. Five years ago, he would definitely make the Mo Clan pay for everything that they had experienced.
Once Cheng Jin arrived at the washroom, he locked himself in the washroom. Then, he clutched his chest in pain and began to cough violently.
Cheng Jin's chest was filled with the smell of alcohol and he could only feel his body gradually heating up. He knew that it was because of the alcohol.
Fortunately, her alcohol allergy wasn't too severe, it just made her body feel hot.
Cheng Jin rejoiced as he leaned against the wall.
Mo Yi Xuan?
For some reason, the image of Mo Yi Xuan's face appeared in Cheng Jin's mind. Even the thoughts from five years ago began to churn.
When the Cheng Family fell, Cheng Jin tried to beg Mo Yi Xuan for help, but he knew that Mo Yi Xuan was the mastermind.
That man whom she had loved for nearly ten years had personally destroyed her life and discarded her feelings like a pair of old shoes. He had personally sent her to prison.
Everything was like a huge rock pressing down on Cheng Jin's chest. No matter how much he vented, he could not release it.
Her eyes were in pain, Cheng Jin could only feel that even though she wanted to cry, she couldn't shed a single tear. Five years ago, when she was in prison, she had already decided not to shed tears for Mo Yi Xuan.
I can't cry!
Cheng Jin secretly told herself that as she slightly straightened her clothes, she opened the door and left the toilet. Standing in front of the washbasin, Cheng Jin washed her hands while staring at herself in the mirror, feeling a little absent-minded.
Previously, Mo Yi Xuan said that he liked women with long hair, so she had left a head full of hair for Mo Yi Xuan. But it was still because of him. Cheng Jin's hair had been cut off while she was in prison.
Looking at her messy hair, Cheng Jin tidied up a little. Suddenly, she heard a man's voice coming from the washroom.
Cheng Jin's heart tightened. He subconsciously turned around only to find that there was no one there.
Just when Cheng Jin thought that she had misheard, an ambiguous sound of breathing suddenly came out.
Cheng Jin seemed to have thought of something and his mind went blank. His reason clearly told him that she had to leave as soon as possible, but his steps were incomparably heavy.
It was probably because of the alcohol, so Cheng Jin held onto the sink in an uncomfortable manner, trying her best to not make any noise.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Jin suddenly stopped as he heard the sound. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. When he thought he could finally free himself, he heard a toilet door suddenly open and the next second, a man walked out.
For a moment, their gazes met.
Cheng Jin was the first to react. She subconsciously retracted her gaze and pretended not to care as she continued washing her hands.
When Xiao Ming saw Cheng Jin, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. However, he quickly recovered and felt that this woman in front of him was very familiar.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Ming finally reacted. He sneered at Cheng Jin, "Oh? Isn't this the young miss of the Cheng family?" "Five years ago, he wanted to hurt my brother-in-law and was locked in jail. Now, he's out?"
Xiao Ming was Xiao Lili's little brother, and Xiao Ming was the one who had handled all of Xiao Lili's investigation of Cheng Jin, so Xiao Ming naturally had a "understanding" towards Cheng Jin.
Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Cheng Jin's face paled. In her memories, she couldn't remember if she knew this man in front of her. She could only take a step back in fear, "I don't know you!"
When Xiao Ming heard this, he smiled even more complacently. "Of course you don't know me. I'm the successor of the Xiao family. Oh right, Mo Yi Xuan is my brother-in-law. Did you see that? My brother-in-law specially prepared this wedding for my sister."
When Cheng Jin heard this, he couldn't help but clench his hands. A trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
