Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Show off Love, Die Fast (39)
She had said a thousand words, but they absolutely could not outweigh seeing with her own eyes. Che’s arrival was an incredible boon for her.
Currently, the relationship between Che and Chuxia was not good. As long as Che made Chuxia embarrassed on the spot, Chuxia would no longer be able to keep up her act and would utterly lose face. By then, Mrs. Shi would definitely not want such a disgraceful daughter-in-law. She looked forward to Chuxia falling from heaven into "Hell," never to rise again!
Thinking about it, Li Qian was thrilled. She pushed through the crowd, stepped forward, smiled coquettishly at Che, and said softly as water, "Senior Brother Shi, you finally made it. Earlier, Xiaoxia was saying you couldn’t come; we were so disappointed."
She paused, then turned her head towards Chuxia and said, "Xiaoxia, really, Senior Brother Shi is here now, isn’t he? You said he was too busy to come. Don’t tell me you didn’t even inform him about our class reunion? That’s not very nice of you. After all, you two are a close couple; how can you be a couple if you don’t share everything!"
Chuxia was striving to maintain her composure, but upon hearing Li Qian’s words, her hand trembled violently. Li Qian’s attempt at driving a wedge was not particularly skillful, but Che had always been dissatisfied and critical of her. When someone finds everything about another disagreeable, every word and action is a mistake, a reason for him to lose temper.
Chuxia knew that she absolutely could not remain silent at this moment; otherwise, if Che lost his temper, the consequences would be unimaginable. She bit her lower lip forcefully, tried to squeeze out a smile, slowly raised her head, managing to control the trembling in her voice, and replied, "How could that be."
Then, she stood up and walked towards Che. She dared not look into Che’s eyes; her gaze stayed as usual on his chin, her body stiff, taking one step at a time.
It was actually a short distance, but to Chuxia it felt as long as a century. Reaching Che’s side, her hand tightened and then abruptly loosened, extending out to link her arms through Che’s.
No matter how afraid or fearful she was, she had to maintain, in front of everyone, the loving appearance with Che, not letting anyone see even a hint of impropriety.
Of course, she was also betting that Che, for the sake of the Shi Family’s public image, would not embarrass her in public.
Even so, Chuxia’s hands, holding onto Che, were shaking fiercely, her smile on the face was stiff, and even the words she spoke sounded rigid, as if each word was being painfully squeezed out from her throat.
"Che, didn’t you say you were busy? How... how come you are here?"
