After entering the sweet story, I became the vicious ex-girlfriend of the boss

Chapter 15 Engagement Day (Part )
Even though today was her and Gu Chuan's engagement party, Mrs. Gu still found fault with Song Xueying.

"The guests here today are all celebrities. I know you come from a humble family, but as long as you behave properly and don't bring shame to our Gu family, it'll be fine." Mrs. Gu is almost fifty years old, but because she takes good care of herself, she looks much younger. She is elegant and noble, but every word she utters feels like a sharp blade to Song Xueying.

Madam Gu glanced at Song Xueying and sneered, "Today is your engagement party with my son. What's the meaning of your sullen face? Don't you like my son? Then you should be happy today. Remember, no one is bullying you here. Don't act like you've been wronged and invite gossip."

Song Xueying forced herself to cheer up and smiled: "Yes, I understand."

She was wearing a white gauze dress today, with her long hair tied up and decorated with a crystal headdress. The makeup artist combined her own delicate and lovely features to dress her up like a princess in a fairy tale.

This should be what she envisioned herself to be like, but there were too many other things piled up in her mind.

Although the Gu family made concessions and allowed her to be with Gu Chuan, they did not allow her to invite her parents because her father was a poor man and her mother had been her father's mistress. If such an identity appeared among celebrities, it would be a loss of face.

But, they are her parents after all.

The image of Lin Chenan lying on the hospital bed suddenly appeared in Song Xueying's eyes again. This day, which should have been a happy day, seemed to be covered with a gloomy shadow.

Mrs. Gu wanted to continue talking, but Gu Chuan, who had just finished receiving the guests, came in. He stood in front of Song Xueying and said to his mother calmly, "Some elders are here. Maybe it would be more appropriate for you to go and talk to them."

Mrs. Gu felt more and more frustrated in her heart. In the past, this son was her greatest pride and the one that gave her the least worries. No matter what the matter was, Gu Chuan could always do it well.

Mrs. Gu even had her eyes on several rich girls and was waiting for Gu Chuan to pick the most suitable one.

But first, there was Chu Yan who delayed Gu Chuan for seven years. After Chu Yan was finally gone, Song Xueying appeared again. Gu Chuan seemed like a different person. He was tough, rebellious, and did not know how to give in. He was determined to go against his parents.

If Mrs. Gu and Song Xueying really came into conflict, Gu Chuan would not care about his mother's face and would stand firmly on Song Xueying's side.

This was something that had never happened before. Even when she asked Gu Chuan and Chu Yan to break up, Gu Chuan simply chose to avoid his mother and expressed his resistance in this way.

Mrs. Gu felt more and more that Song Xueying was really weird!

At least she knew that today was a day not to cause trouble, so Mrs. Gu swallowed her anger, walked out with a smile on her face, and entertained relatives and friends who had come from afar.

Gu Chuan held Song Xueying's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I will be with you."

Song Xueying suddenly felt relieved. She raised her little face and smiled, "Yeah, I know."

Gu Chuan added: "You are very beautiful today."

Song Xueying's heart moved, and the shadow of Lin Chenan in her heart suddenly faded a lot, and she lowered her head shyly.

Such a dreamy engagement party was given to her by Gu Chuan.

She couldn't hesitate and had to make herself firm.

The time was almost up, and Gu Chuan walked out of the lounge holding Song Xueying's hand, and happened to see the young man who was slumped on the sofa in an untidy sitting position.

Shen Xing's golden hair was really eye-catching. He didn't get enough sleep and was now curled up on the sofa holding a mobile phone, as if waiting for someone's message.

Seeing Gu Chuan and Song Xueying, Shen Xing grinned, "Cousin, cousin, you are handsome and beautiful today, you are a perfect match made in heaven."

Song Xueying felt happy and politely replied: "Thank you."

She didn't have much contact with Shen Xing and only saw him a few times at family dinners. She always thought that this young man was like a gangster and very unreliable, but today her impression changed a little.

Gu Chuan reminded him: "There are so many guests here, you should pay attention to your image."

Shen Xing didn't care at all. He didn't care about other people's opinions, he only cared about his own comfort. He continued to lie there and said nonchalantly: "When are you going to get the marriage certificate?"

He was not the only one who was concerned about this issue. Other relatives had also asked about it, so it was not strange that he asked this question.

Gu Chuan replied: "My mother asked someone to tell her that the fifteenth day of next month is a good day."

Although Mrs. Gu was very dissatisfied with Song Xueying, the marriage had been arranged and Gu Chuan was determined, so she had no choice but to follow the procedure. After all, Gu Chuan was her own son, and she still hoped that Gu Chuan could live a good life.

Shen Xing muttered, "It's still so long..."

His words were somewhat intriguing, and Gu Chuan inexplicably felt concerned.

Shen Xing's cell phone suddenly rang, and a woman's voice seemed to be heard from it.

"Shen Xing, Yanyan sent me a message saying she was going to look for you, but I was in class and didn't reply in time. Just now I asked her where she was and she said she was in the villa. Did she go to look for you..."

Before Fang Fang could finish her words, Shen Xing suddenly stood up and ran out, trying to call Chu Yan while running.

Song Xueying was puzzled. "What happened to him?"

Gu Chuan said: "He is always in a hurry, maybe he has something urgent to do."

There was a lively scene on the lawn.

Gao Fei saw that Chu Yan liked to stare at the white roses that could be seen everywhere, so he smiled and said, "Isn't it beautiful? This is the engagement venue that cousin Shen Xing specially had decorated. Do you like white roses too? When the time comes, you can ask Shen Xing to use lots of white roses as well. He will definitely obey your request."

Chu Yan shook her head. "So many flowers will easily wither overnight. For a well-off family like Shen Xing and I, the cost is too wasteful."

Gao Fei had a strange expression and wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu Yan's pure and clean eyes, he closed his mouth again. Suddenly, different voices came from the guests who were talking.

At the tables on the left, gathered were Gu Chuan’s classmates from high school and college who were still in touch with him.

They stared at Chu Yan with strange expressions on their faces.

"Why is she here?"

"I didn't think she would show up."

"Chu Yan is still unwilling to accept it?"

"If you've been dating someone for seven years and he ends up marrying someone else, would you be willing to accept that?"

Chu Yan was quite popular during her student days, and when her classmates learned that she and Gu Chuan were together, they thought they were a good match, but Gu Chuan came from an old-fashioned family.

They knew a little about Chu Yan being dumped, but they still felt more sympathy for her. There were even other boys who wanted to pursue Chu Yan back then, and they were still regretting why they didn't take action at the time.

Warm applause came from the front, it turned out that today's protagonist appeared.

Chu Yan was a little curious, but it was a bit far away and she couldn't see clearly.

Song Xueying leaned against her tall and steady fiancé, like a little bird, accepting everyone's applause and smiling sincerely.

Gu Chuan's eyes and eyebrows were less cold and more tender. He seldom showed his true emotions, but when he stood with Song Xueying, he looked like ice and snow melted by the warmth of the sun. His edges were smoothed out and he became full of life.

They are indeed a perfect match.

Gu Chuan heard many such sighs and was about to greet others according to the polite procedures, when suddenly a flash of red like a burning flame caught his eye. In just a moment, it attracted all his attention.

In a world filled with pure white and green, her existence is so out of place, yet so eye-catching.

She stood outside the crowd, in a quiet place not affected by the hustle and bustle. It seemed that for a moment, her eyes fell on him through the crowd.

Gu Chuan has endured a lot of attention from Chu Yan.

The one who likes, the one who is angry, the one who is sad, the one who is crying, and the one who has lost herself and is as crazy as a lunatic.

But what he had never seen before was the calmness in Chu Yan's eyes.

The calmness reached a point where he felt as if he had become a stranger.

A white rose used for decoration fell on the grass and landed right at her feet.

Chu Yan bent down to pick it up, and then felt a little at a loss.

He could guess what she was thinking now. She didn't like being the one who attracted attention, so she wanted to find someone to help her deal with the flower.

Gu Chuan met her gaze again and suddenly saw the light bursting in her eyes.

Very strange.

He originally thought that after he had let go of the memories of the past, it would be difficult to recall them, but he inexplicably remembered the past when they were hanging out in the library together, and when he solved a difficult problem, she would look at him like this.

Song Xueying was very close to Gu Chuan and vaguely felt that something was wrong with Gu Chuan. He seemed to have taken a small step forward. She raised her head and noticed Gu Chuan's gaze. Then she followed his gaze and saw a girl in a red dress.

Song Xueying had never seen Chu Yan, but now she had a strong intuition that it must be Chu Yan.

"Wow, this is going to be a good show."

Fu Jun sat on a chair and poured himself a glass of red wine. He felt a little sorry that his wife was busy with work and did not come to the engagement party, thus missing the next big show.

It was indeed a big show.

Gu Chuan saw Chu Yan approaching him. Her steps were brisk and the smile that appeared unconsciously was bright.

Just like in their senior year of high school, when they met on the same road tacitly and were waiting to go to school together, the moment she saw him, she would run towards him with a smile on her face.

It seemed as if a long-dormant habit was about to come out. His figure moved slightly and he felt the strength in his arm.

Song Xueying held his arm and smiled sweetly, "Gu Chuan, everyone is waiting for you to speak."

Gu Chuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He just subconsciously raised his eyes again and stopped at the girl who was running towards him.

Someone had already run up to her and held her hand.

The young man had a tall and slender figure, and seemed to be favored by the sun. He was full of enthusiasm and lit up all the light in her eyes.

They were very close, like... like a couple with a very close relationship.

Fu Jun suddenly spat out the red wine in his mouth, hurriedly found a tissue to wipe it off, then looked up to make sure he was not seeing things.

Shen Xing, who was regarded as a little brat by them, actually held the hand of his cousin's ex-girlfriend!
