An Exclusive love - Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Bloodshed at the Wedding
Being inattentive and thoughtless, Chen Chen forgot about preparing a present. Jiang Rui just asked about it casually. In fact, he had already prepared the present.

The next day, they went to the wedding banquet, followed by Xiao Si.

“Boss, relax. I’ll pay attention to Mrs. Jiang!” Xiao Si saw Jiang Rui frown after seeing Lu Tao, and he couldn’t help saying, “Don’t worry.”

Jiang Rui looked at Lu Tao who was standing at the door to welcome the guests. He hadn’t seen him for a few months, and the air around him became darker and gloomier. Thinking of Bear’s words about what he had done before, Jiang Rui looked more serious.

“Do you mean that I’m going to make trouble?” Chen Chen was dissatisfied, then she saw Xie Hong.

Xie Hong waved at her from the distance while walking over. Behind her was Wen Pintang, who was graceful and gentle. Chen Chen always felt that such a man had to be a person who stepped out of a painting. In his forties, he could still capture the hearts of young girls.

She often heard Bear gossip with others, and learned that there were many women who tried to hook up with Wen Pintang but were thrown out by him. However, Chen Chen felt that Wen Pintang didn’t seem to love Xie Hong. His feelings for Xie Hong were different from Dad’s feelings for Mom.

“I haven’t seen you for a long time!” Xie Hong took Chen Chen’s hand as soon as she came up to her. “Before my leaving, Tuan Zi asked me to take care of you!”

Early that morning, Tuan Zi was sent to the Wen family by Jiang Rui, and she said that she would do physical experiments with Wen Zeyu.

Chen Chen opened her eyes widely. She was about to show her contempt for Tuan Zi, when she saw Bai Weirong approaching in a cheongsam. She stared at her belly for a long time. Then Xie Hong touched her and whispered, “Do you know that, too?”

“Yeah, Brother Xiao Rui told me that.”

Bai Weirong was gorgeous that day. She stood in front of them, smiling enchantingly. “I didn’t see you at the church and thought you were not coming.”

“We would definitely attend your wedding banquet!” Xie Hong said with a smile, “Congratulations.”

Jiang Rui was expressionless, while Wen Pintang and Chen Chen were silent. She had to reply herself.

“Thank you.” Bai Weirong gazed at Jiang Rui’s face for a moment, and then looked at Chen Chen. Suppressing her jealousy, she said, “I wonder when I can attend Miss Chen’s wedding banquet.”

She satirized Chen Chen who didn’t hold a wedding ceremony while marrying Jiang Rui, but she did not know that Chen Chen could not remember obtaining the marriage certificate stating she had married Jiang Rui.

“Miss Bai, you’d better worry about yourself. You’re so talkative during pregnancy.”

Jiang Rui’s words led to some changes in Bai Weirong’s expressions. “How… How did you know…?”

She didn’t say anything about her pregnancy. After all, it wasn’t anything to boast about. But Jiang Rui certainly had the ability to know it, or there was no one in that circle who didn’t know.

“Jiang… Jiang Rui, I…” Seeing Jiang Rui glance at her with disgust, Bai Weirong got crazy again. “You have to believe me. You are actually the one I like!”

Chen Chen burst into laughter and looked at Bai Weirong in surprise. The bride actually bared her love to another man at the wedding banquet, which was too…

“Miss Bai.” Xie Hong reminded her. “Don’t forget what the occasion is today.”

Bai Weirong didn’t know when Lu Tao had stood behind her; he held her waist and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay.” Bai Weirong pretended to smile.

“The dinner is ready. Go to change your clothes!” Lu Tao nodded to them. “Mr. Wen, Chief Jiang, help yourselves to some drinks!”

Jiang Rui was expressionless, while Wen Pintang smiled slightly. “Let’s go in, too!”

Naturally, they should sit down in the seats of honor. There were some fancy cards, which were marked with a particular name, on the table. Chen Chen was surprised to find that Jiang Rui and her were designated to sit down at different tables.

“Sit down beside me.” Jiang Rui sat her down, while Wen Pintang and Xie Hong sat opposite them. Xie Hong gave her a look to comfort her. “Rest assured that no one will make a fuss about a seat.”

Chen Chen stopped thinking about it, but the other three knew the reason. How stupid Bai Weirong was! What’s the point of doing such a thing?

“Juice or sweet wine?” Jiang Rui looked at his lady beside him.

Chen Chen wore a purple cheongsam that day. Jiang Rui was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she wrapped her in a short black mink cloak. Wearing the white gemstone jewelry, she looked like a noble and enchanting flower. Especially when she squinted at him with a smile, Jiang Rui’s heart was completely melted.

“Sweet wine!” Chen Chen didn’t know of the flutter in his heart, squinting at her with a smile.

Jiang Rui asked about Xie Hong’s choice, and she naturally agreed. Jiang Rui turned around and called the waiter to serve the sweet wine. However, maybe there was something wrong with the waiter, since he actually poured the wine on Chen Chen’s cheongsam when he was about to serve it.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” The waiter also knew that any of the guests present were either the rich or the officials, so he apologized in a state of panic.

Xie Hong quickly helped her clean the cheongsam with a napkin, and Jiang Rui angrily let the waiter go. “No, just change to another one.”

“Change to another one?” Chen Chen stared at him. “Are you going to buy another one now?”

Xiao Si, who was sitting beside them, chuckled and handed her the bag he had been carrying. “It’s a spare one!”

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to change clothes.” Xie Hong had taken it and dragged Chen Chen away to the lounge before she reacted. She said to Chen Chen on the way, “Generally, we would place one or two spare clothes in the car when we attend such a kind of banquet.”

Chen Chen tutted. “I didn’t know!”

“Well, Chief Jiang asked me about that before. I specifically told him to take a spare one.” Considering that the usually indifferent man was so nice to Chen Chen, Xie Hong was somewhat envious of her. “You…”

“Me?” Seeing that she didn’t finish her words, Chen Chen asked.

Wen Pintang had explained Chen Chen’s situation. Certainly, Xie Hong couldn’t reveal the truth, and only replied casually. “Whoever marries Chief Jiang will be really happy in the future!”

After hearing her words, Chen Chen was jealous unconsciously. She was about to say something when Xie Hong pushed open a door decorated with white gauze.

“Mrs. Wen?” Several women wearing the bridesmaid dress stood up and looked at them.

Xie Hong smiled decently. “Our dresses are dirty, and we want to change clothes somewhere.”

“Come. Go inside!” One of them quickly pushed open the back room’s door.

The moment Chen Chen went in, she was stunned to see Bai Weirong sitting on the sofa. Xie Hong nudged her and said, “Just change clothes. Go ahead!”

“Okay.” Chen Chen lowered her head and went inside the dressing room with the spare clothes in her arms.

Bai Weirong was also shocked to see them. She didn’t speak when hearing that they were about to change clothes, and asked the makeup artists to go on with her hair.

Xie Hong smiled at her and sat down next to her.

Chen Chen quickly changed her clothes and stepped out. When Bai Weirong saw the cheongsam Chen Chen wore, a touch of jealousy flashed across her eyes.

The dress that Bai Weirong wore was specially bought in France, and she had seen the one Chen Chen was wearing at that time. It was made of expensive brocade. After the dyeing procedure, the light cyan Chinese-painting style made the cheongsam look like a superior blue and white porcelain. She also wanted one at that time, but the seller said that it was tailor-made, not for ordinary people.

Looking at the elegant woman in front of her, Bai Weirong’s jealousy grew as wildly as weeds. Bang! She pounded on the table and stood up.

“You go out first.”

When the makeup artists found that she was in a bad mood, they didn’t dare to speak and hurried to run out.

“Don’t be proud. I don’t believe that Jiang Rui will always be so nice to you.”

Chen Chen was stunned to see Bai Weirong suddenly causing trouble.

“Miss Bai, pay attention to your words.” Xie Hong stood next to Chen Chen. “It would be better to take care of yourself.” She looked at Bai Weirong who was gazing at Chen Chen resentfully. “Even if you don’t care about yourself, think about your baby.”

Bai Weirong was outraged by the sentence. She walked up to Chen Chen and then raised her hand to slap her. Xie Hong did not expect her to be so bold, stopping her and saying angrily, “Bai Weirong, stop, or I will give you a hard time.”

“You go away!” Bai Weirong fiercely pushed Xie Hong away. Xie Hong failed to stand still, swaying slightly. Chen Chen was afraid that she would fall down, reaching out to hold her. Bai Weirong just took that opportunity to slap her in the face.

Clap! Chen Chen felt that her face hurt, with tears welling up right away. Immediately, she angrily and violently gave Bai Weirong a push. Bai Weirong stumbled over the sofa’s leg, so that she bumped her waist against the corner of the table.

“No!” She screamed, and fell down onto the ground with her hands on the belly. People outside the door rushed in on hearing the screaming, and saw a pool of blood flowing out of Bai Weirong’s body. She was crying while covering her belly.

“It hurts… It hurts!”

Someone immediately ran to inform Lu Tao, and the men rushed in soon.

“Weirong?” Lu Tao was startled when he saw Bai Weirong’s appearance.

Jiang Rui strode up to Chen Chen who was squatting on the ground and shivering, while Xie Hong was holding her shoulders to comfort her.

“What’s going on?”

Xie Hong told him what had happened just then and sneered. “It’s none of Chen Chen’s business. She deserves it.”

Jiang Rui found that Chen Chen’s tears streaming down her face. He apprehensively took her into his arms, saying, “Liuliu, listen to me! It has nothing to do with you. Her situation has nothing to do with you.”

“Woo…” Chen Chen finally cried out. She was terrified by the scene where Bai Weirong was lying in a pool of blood.

Wen Pintang walked in. “Let’s go first.”

They stepped out of the room, but were stopped by Bai Kai.

“Jiang Rui, what do you think of this?”

Jiang Rui glanced at him. Behind Bai Kai stood the younger generation of the Lu family, who were staring at him angrily.

“I also want to know what the Bai family is going to do.” Jiang Rui touched Chen Chen’s face. “Bai Weirong dared to hit her. Don’t blame me for offending you.”

Bai Kai was furious. “Jiang Rui! Don’t push me too hard. I don’t know her situation now. But if her baby has any accident, the Bai family and the Lu family won’t let your wife go!”

“Bai Kai, if I were you… I would worry about whether the Wan family would let Bai Weirong go.” Wen Pintang said slowly, “She wants an explanation after slapping Boss Wan’s daughter? Where is Mr. Bai? Does he know this?”

Bai Kai’s heart sank. Mr. Bai had begun to have unstable blood pressure yesterday. He said he would arrive later, and then such a thing happened.

“Get out of the way.” Jiang Rui glanced at him coldly. “Otherwise…”

“Xiao Si, clear the way,” Jiang Rui snapped.

“Yes!”

Xiao Si took out his gun, pulled back the safety lever, and pointed the gun at Bai Kai’s head. “Mr. Bai, military orders cannot be disobeyed. Please get out the way.”
