With me…
That phrasing of hers had been a stroke of genius.
Su Ziqian agreed to sing, but she wanted the high and mighty Prince to sing with her. If he agreed to it, it would prove that she meant something to him. That way, all these people from the upper cla.s.s, with their noses up in the air, would no longer dare to look down on her!
The moment Su Ziqian said that, Xiao Chun snorted. Su Ziqian seriously overestimated herself!
Everyone else present looked on in antic.i.p.ation of how the situation would unfold.
Xu Weilai did not want to have any conflict with Gu Yu and did her best to keep a low profile. She also kept her eyes averted from Gu Yu and Su Ziqian.
Other than Xu Weilai herself and Gu Yu, the only other people who knew about their marriage was probably Xiao Chun and Xu Shuai. In the eyes of everyone else in their circle, she was, at present, only Xu Weilai, and represented only the Xu family.
Every action and word of hers would affect the way the Xu family was viewed.
Because of the broken engagement, she had been mocked for a long time. Right now, Gu Yu was parading his new flame in front of her. Everything was seemingly peaceful on the surface, but she knew that, underneath it all, everyone was staring at her, waiting for her to make a fool of herself again.
She refused to let her actions bring shame to her family once again. She couldn’t stop Xiao Chun from humiliating Su Ziqian, but she refused to have any part in it. She kept her eyes lowered and, with her goblet in hand, focused on drinking her alcohol.
What a joke it was! She was Gu Yu’s wife but had to watch as he cozied up to another woman. She was Gu Yu’s wife, but she didn’t even have the right to get jealous…
She was doing her utmost to act as if she couldn’t see anything that was going on around her, but when she heard Su Ziqian utter that sentence, her fingers subconsciously tightened around the goblet.
Since her return, she had heard many, many stories about how much Gu Yu doted upon Su Ziqian. She had also personally witnessed the way Gu Yu kissed Si Ziqian. Furthermore, he had spent their honeymoon period with Su Ziqian. However… she was still curious just how far Gu Yu would go in pampering Su Ziqian.
