Fall in Love with the Substitute - Chap 58
058 Engagement Banquet (Su Su officially reveals her relationship)
Huo Nanyuan’s phoenix eyes were extremely cold and stern.
She didn’t want to attend the engagement party.
However, the Pei family warmly invited her, and she really wanted to see how heartless and unrighteous her most beloved son, Gu Hanzhou, who loved him wholeheartedly, was.
Lu Boting had the same idea as his wife.
Ever since the couple found out that their youngest son was still alive and that he was Su Yichen, their minds were filled with the image of his white shirt covered in blood and lying on the grass that day.
Their poor little son…
.
Lu Mingfeng shook the red wine glass and observed the carefully arranged engagement banquet venue with cold eyes. He couldn’t help but curl his lips mockingly.
People around him thought he was lost in thought about Pei Suyue.
“Mr. Lu, let’s not recall the past. I’d like to toast you.”
“Mr. Lu, today is the day when Susu and Mr. Gu are engaged. We have to take big steps forward!”
“By the way, Mr. Lu, do you still have feelings for Susu…” someone asked quietly, “Do you still have feelings for me?”
Lu Mingfeng was slightly startled. He took a sip of wine and said, “Just hang the bright moon in the sky.” There is no need to take it off.
He likes Susu, that’s right.
But what he is most concerned about now is his younger brother’s affairs.
He had already asked people to check all the information related to his younger brother.
“Mr. Lu is still open-minded.”
People around him obviously didn’t believe it when they saw Mr. Lu’s answer.
Lu Mingfeng has admired Pei Suyue for many years, how could he let him go so easily?
Half a month ago, Gu Hanzhou and Lu Mingfeng had a fight in a bar, probably because they turned against each other because of Bai Yueguang.
Everyone saw him drinking non-stop again, thinking that Mr. Lu had lost his love and was hurt by love, so they sighed a few times.
.
In the magnificent banquet hall, violin music was playing softly, and wealthy merchants in brightly dressed clothes held up their wine glasses, chatting and laughing about the family friendship between the Gu family and the Pei family.
“We have watched Su Su and Han Zhou grow up, and now we are so happy that they can achieve positive results.”
“Yes! Han Zhou and Su Su were childhood sweethearts. During the years when Su Su was recovering from his injury at home, Han Zhou went to Pei’s house to visit Su Su every day. After so many separations, the two of them should have been together long ago.”
The elders discussed with each other, and their faces were all filled with smiles of blessing.
“Wanzhu, your Hanzhou has a companion. When will Qingzhou’s good news come? We are all waiting for a banquet.”
Gu Wanzhu smiled solemnly and said, “The boat is still small.”
A few rich ladies laughed and joked a few words, and then talked about other topics.
Gu Wanzhu smiled lightly and looked at Gu Qingzhou not far away. For some reason, I always have a strange feeling in my heart.
“Hey, but… I heard that Han Zhou once had a lover named Su Su. He…”
A lady sneered: “What kind of lover? He has already been kicked out of the Gu family, so what kind of lover is he?”
“Yeah. That guy named Su Su is very shameless. He knew that the person Han Zhou liked was Su Su, but he still stayed in the Gu family with a lick of his face. He’s just a little boy who wants to take shortcuts and try to take shortcuts. That kind of person. , I’ve seen a lot.”
Gu Wanzhu frowned slightly: “Su Su is very sensible.”
The lady clicked her tongue: “Wanzhu~ You are just too kind to be deceived by that kind of person.”
Gu Wanzhu disagreed. She sighed in her heart. She felt sympathy for Su Yichen in her heart. She could see how sensible that child was.
If Han Zhou can cherish Su Su, she will bless her from the bottom of her heart.
It’s a pity… Gu Wanzhu didn’t understand the thoughts of the younger generation and couldn’t control them, so he left them alone.
.
After Gu Hanzhou drank a cup of green tea, he waited for a long time. He couldn’t sit still. Later, he and Su Su would go forward to accept everyone’s blessings.
So he got up and left, coming to the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was full of guests and extremely lively.
“Brother, why are you here? Where is Susu?” Gu Qingzhou was the first to greet Gu Hanzhou when he saw him arriving.
“Still changing clothes inside.” Gu Hanzhou raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
“Oh…” Gu Qingzhou said and nodded. He looked at his eldest brother, hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Brother, I wish you and Brother Su Su a long life together.”
He could see his eldest brother’s feelings for Susu.
He also blessed them from the bottom of his heart.
It’s just that such a big thing today…
The news and media will definitely cover it.
Susu will definitely be able to see it by then.
Gu Qingzhou was afraid that Su Su knew about this matter. If he knew, he would be so sad and sad.
He will definitely cry, he loves his eldest brother so much.
He decided to go to Su Su secretly after the engagement party, and then see if Su Su would cry. If he cried, Gu Qingzhou decided to laugh at Su Yichen.
.
Seeing Gu Hanzhou, everyone stepped forward to raise their glasses to congratulate him and said with a smile, “Mr. Gu, congratulations on your marriage to Susu.”
“Mr. Gu, I look forward to having you and Susu’s wedding banquet next time!”
Gu Hanzhou’s handsome eyebrows were raised, and a decent smile appeared on his handsome face. Wearing a grand suit, he instantly became the center of attention.
Gu Hanzhou politely responded to everyone’s blessings: “Thank you everyone, I will.”
at this time,
The lights gathered on the stage of the banquet hall, and the host in a black suit stood in front of the microphone. He held the microphone, looked at the word card in his hand, and said with a smile: “Welcome to today’s engagement banquet. I would like to invite everyone to order.” Take a seat.”
Everyone then sat down in the neatly arranged seats in front of the stage in an orderly manner.
“It is an auspicious day and auspicious time. Welcome everyone to come despite your busy schedule. On behalf of the two gentlemen, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the relatives and friends who attended the engagement ceremony!”
The host said a long blessing, which attracted warm applause from the wealthy businessmen attending the engagement banquet.
The surrounding media and cameramen pointed their cameras at the center of the stage, and their flashlights flashed continuously.
After the host said this, he smiled and said: “Let us invite one of today’s protagonists, Mr. Pei Suyue.”
The spotlight flashed on the entire circular platform, the light of the camera kept flashing, and everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but focus on the circular platform.
Pei Suyue emerged from the spotlight behind the scenes.
He was wearing a dark suit and trousers, which made his figure slender and beautiful. The spotlight and camera light shone on his beautiful face. The thin red tear mole made his eyes look like moonlight. He was breathtakingly beautiful. .
Countless eyes focused on him.
Pei Suyue raised a slight smile, her red tear mole shining in the camera.
He stood in front of the microphone and spoke in a gentle and gentle voice: “First of all, thank you to all the elders, relatives and friends for coming to my engagement party. After I return to China, I would also like to thank you all for taking care of me and Mrs. Pei. Thank you all.”
The elders in the audience were all smiling, looking at Pei Suyue standing on the stage with joy, and applauded enthusiastically.
Gu Hanzhou looked at Pei Suyue’s suit and frowned slightly. Susu still hadn’t changed into a dress. But it doesn’t matter. Gu Hanzhou’s brows widened.
Huo Nanyuan looked at Pei Suyue on the stage coldly and said softly, “He is the ‘Susu’ who competed with Chen Chen for men.”
It is recognized by the outside world that Su Yichen is Pei Suyue’s replacement.
Pei Suyue lived in the Gu family some time ago, and she and Chen Chen didn’t meet each other. Chen Chen was living under someone else’s roof and accepted everything.
Chen Chen may have been excluded and bullied by Pei Suyue.
Huo Nanyuan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes getting colder and colder. Whenever she thought about what happened to her son in the Gu family, she would become furious and hate Pei Suyue.
At the same time, she felt powerless inside.
Even if she wanted to avenge Chen Chen, those injuries and insults had already accumulated in Chen Chen’s heart, becoming an indelible shadow in Chen Chen’s heart.
Gu Hanzhou and Pei Suyue got engaged here, where is her son suffering now?
Just thinking about this, Huo Nanyuan couldn’t wait to leave the engagement banquet now.
Lu Boting whispered: “A Yuan, don’t worry about them. When we find Chen Chen, we will give him all the love that Chen Chen lacked in the past. Okay?”
Huo Nanyuan rubbed her temples, her eyes were bloodshot, she choked and nodded, “Okay.”
Lu Mingfeng heard his parents’ whispers quite clearly. He clenched his fists and said, “Chen Chen…”
At this moment, Pei Suyue held the microphone and looked at the expressions of everyone in the audience.
He said slowly: “Today is the engagement ceremony held by the Pei family. It is also the first time that I officially tell the elders, major media, and even the world that my lover is my fiancé today.”
The expressions around them remained unchanged, with some hiding their faces and smiling.
Although it has never been explicitly stated who Pei Suyue’s fiancé is, nor has it been officially announced.
But the whole world recognized that the other protagonist of the engagement party was Gu Hanzhou.
“It’s already here, Su Su still wants to leave a surprise.” One lady turned to the other lady and smiled.
“Su Su wants to create a sense of mystery.” The wife replied, “It’s my engagement ceremony after all.”
“Right.”
On the round platform, Pei Suyue continued: “My fiancé, he is here now.”
“I officially announce to everyone my fiancé’s name.”
“he is the one–”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Pei Suyue on the stage, and they could only hear Pei Suyue smile lightly.
An impossible name that made everyone feel shocked resounded throughout the banquet auditorium.
“Su Yichen.”
Just for a moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent and there was no sound.
It was so quiet that there was only the clicking sound of the camera taking pictures.
Everyone’s minds went blank at this moment, staring stiffly at Pei Suyue on the round platform.
Everyone thought that their ears were hallucinating and they heard the wrong name.
The moment Gu Hanzhou stood up, he froze in place. His pupils shrank violently and he stared at Pei Suyue in shock and confusion.
.
Pei Suyue turned around and walked behind the scenes, extending her hand in a very gentlemanly manner, while another slender hand gently placed on Pei Suyue’s hand. Pei Suyue smiled softly, her gentle eyes filled with starlight.
In the banquet hall, everyone sitting there watched helplessly as Pei Suyue held the man’s hand and walked with him to the microphone in the center of the round stage.
And the person being led was Su Yichen, whom everyone thought had been kicked out of the Gu family.
Su Yichen changed from the simple dress of the past.
Today, he is wearing a tailored and expensive suit, with a body as slender as jade, skin as snow, perfect facial features, and eyes as clear as springs.
He wore gold frameless glasses, a gold chain hanging down his white neck, and an earring on his left ear, which made him look extremely noble.
This image is completely different from the previous “earthy and plain” image.
If you don’t pay attention carefully, you really won’t recognize that this is the Su Yichen who has always been humble, cowardly and submissive.
“Su Yichen…” Gu Hanzhou’s pupils shrank violently, and his bloodshot eyes stared at Su Yichen, who looked completely different from before.
He would recognize Su Yichen even if he turned into ashes.
“Susu??” Gu Qingzhou murmured in disbelief.
The moment they heard the words “Su Yichen”, the Lu family’s eyes changed instantly. Their eyes were shocked, looking at Su Yichen who was holding hands with Pei Suyue on the stage.
Huo Nanyuan said in a daze: “Chen Chen?”
Lu Boting held his wife’s hand excitedly and looked at the young man who appeared on the stage with red eyes. At the same time, he was also shocked and confused: “How could this happen?”
Lu Mingfeng was equally shocked and couldn’t understand it. He was shocked that Pei Suyue’s fiancé announced today was his younger brother.
But in addition to the shock, Lu Mingfeng also felt happy and excited that he had finally found his brother. The brother he most wanted to find and love was right in front of him.
“Chen Chen…” Lu Mingfeng suddenly felt a sense of timidity about his hometown.
Lu Mingfeng looked at the two people standing on the round platform. Their fingers were clasped together, as if they were born for each other. Lu Mingfeng’s eyes were red and his eyes were glued to his brother, never leaving.
The brother they had been looking for for a long time but could not find appeared at the engagement party.
Not just appearing, but appearing as the protagonist.
.
After a brief silence of five seconds in the audience,
Almost instantly there was a sound of air-conditioning being sucked in.
“Damn! Did I read that right?! Su Yichen is the fiancé Susu said?”
“What’s going on?! Aren’t Su Yichen and Pei Suyue rivals in love? And Su Yichen is Pei Suyue’s substitute? These two people…”
“Shouldn’t Susu’s fiancé be Mr. Gu? Why should it be him!”
Su Yichen’s eyebrows were light and unfazed by favor or humiliation.
Facing countless cameras and countless gazes, his confident demeanor and aura of controlling the audience were so strong that people couldn’t help but focus on him, “Everyone, be quiet.”
The banquet hall suddenly fell silent again.
Su Yichen took the microphone and chuckled: “Hello everyone, I’m Su Yichen. I believe you are already familiar with me. I won’t introduce myself too much today. In short, welcome to all new and old friends. And the elders attended my engagement banquet with Susu.”
In full view of everyone,
Pei Suyue and Su Yichen’s hands were intertwined and held tightly.
The two have somewhat similar faces, somewhat similar smiles, and the two of them look inexplicably like a husband when they stand together.
Everyone’s minds are still blank, and they have not even reacted to the changes at this moment.
Pei Suyue’s engagement partner is Su Yichen?
However, the relationship between these two people is recognized by the outside world as love rivals between the genuine brand and the fake one!
“What’s going on?!” Gu Qingzhou was the first to react. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the two people holding hands on the stage in disbelief.
“As you can see, Qingzhou.” Su Yichen held the microphone and smiled lightly, “Susu and I are together.”
“I know that everyone has too many misunderstandings about this engagement party.” Su Yichen continued to speak with the microphone.
“But it doesn’t matter.” Su Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly and held Pei Suyue’s hand. His calm and accustomed look made people convinced that he was the host of this banquet.
“Today is the time for me to dispel rumors and clear up misunderstandings.”
“This is the engagement party between me, Su Yichen and Pei Suyue. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”
“The information circulating outside is all false.”
“Susu, it’s mine, mine alone.”
Su Yichen calmly read out the sovereignty.
As soon as these words came out, it caused thousands of waves.
When Pei Suyue heard this, her Ruifeng eyes stared blankly at Su Yichen’s side face, her eyes sticky and admiring. Her infatuated and infatuated gaze that couldn’t be taken away was easily caught by anyone.
No one can ignore this crazy look.
Like an obsessed believer staring at his god.
Everyone was even more weird and shocked when they saw this.
Gu Hanzhou clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with blood, and he stared at the two of them with shock and confusion, as well as a feeling of being played like a monkey. This feeling shocked him, but also Very angry.
Why? !
what is this?
He desperately needed an explanation.
The wealthy businessmen sitting there forgot to even applaud, and their hearts were filled with panic. They stared blankly at the two people on the stage, unable to speak for a long time.
What happened today was enough to shatter their accustomed perceptions.
The media kept taking pictures of the two at the engagement banquet.
The viewers watching the live broadcast online were all dumbfounded.
Zhao Qigan’s eyes were shocked. He held the chair tightly and finally couldn’t help but stand up. He said angrily: “Su Yichen! What nonsense are you talking about and what trouble are you making! Who will believe you if you keep talking nonsense? ! Susu’s fiancé is Mr. Gu! Not you!”
“Oh?” Su Yichen tilted his head, with a smile in his eyes, “When did Su Su disclose that her fiancé was Mr. Gu? This is all your wishful thinking and random speculation. Since it is a random guess, it is false news.”
Then he handed the microphone to Pei Suyue, and he chuckled. In public, he had suppressed his habitual commanding tone.
But it still sounded like a command.
“Susu, tell me.”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Pei Suyue. They thought that Pei Suyue would be unhappy when faced with such a tone. After all, Susu had always been arrogant.
However, after Pei Suyue took the microphone, she apologized in an apologetic tone: “Sorry everyone, Brother Hanzhou and I have always been friends, just friends. The person I love is Su Yichen, not anyone else. As for Brother Hanzhou I don’t know why you misunderstood me and got engaged to him because of your wishful thinking… I’m sorry for causing everyone to misunderstand.”
After speaking, he smiled and said: “My beloved has always been Su Yichen, and it has never changed. I have been waiting for him for many years. I came back to China just for Su Su. I have longed for Su Su to be single, and I also I can have the opportunity to pursue Susu and get his response. Everyone should bless me.”
“Susu, he is not anyone’s substitute, he is not my love rival, and he is not someone’s waste that can be discarded at will.”
“He is my unique and irreplaceable one. He is the moon that I will always pursue. He is the only love of my life. I am honored to be the knight who protects him.”
The words fell,
Pei Suyue was in front of everyone.
He held Su Yichen’s hand, and clasped the back of Su Yichen’s head with his other hand, covering Su Yichen’s lips, prying open Su Yichen’s mouth, and grabbing the sweet taste from Su Yichen’s mouth.
The cameramen were frantically filming their faces.
The major media are extremely excited. They don’t care who is the protagonist of today’s engagement party, but such a dramatic scene will definitely make the headlines tomorrow!
They want topics, popularity, hype, traffic, and attention!
That’s all free money!
The head of the Pei family is engaged to his little stand-in. There are 360 degrees of revelations to write about this matter!
.
Gu Hanzhou, who remained silent and unresponsive from beginning to end, stared at the two people kissing on the round platform, clenching his fists tightly, the smell of blood filling his eyes, blood rising in his throat, his face changing from stiff at first to now… livid.
It seemed like it was the first time he met Pei Suyue.
He figured out the key details of the matter at this moment.
The aura around him was extremely cold.
sorry?
only friends?
Wishful misunderstanding?
These words came out of Pei Suyue’s mouth. Even though the tone was gentle and harmless, he still felt a strong aggression.
Those words made him uncomfortable, made him feel sick and angry.
And the scene of the two kissing is extremely dazzling.
