Chapter 1321: The Wedding (16)

Lu Nanze paused upon hearing this voice.

He turned around to look at the person standing behind him now. Her small face had a quiet air about it, and she looked not much more than about eighteen.

She was wearing a conservative purple gown that seemed a little mature for her age.

Like a child secretly trying on an adult’s dress.

When Lu Nanze saw it was her, he frowned as a reflex.

This was Qiao Yiyi, the girl who shared the same name as the other Qiao Yiyi. She was still in college this year, and she was a bright and obedient girl albeit somewhat timid and uncertain.

Even as her husband was eagerly vying for another woman’s attention, she seemed rather nervous.

To put it quite frankly, she was in many ways a little unpresentable.

Not that Lu Nanze cared.

As long as this woman was able to ensure his family line, he was fine with it.

At least, this woman was clean… at least.

Lu Nanze narrowed his eyes as he looked at her.

Among the many Qiao Yiyi’s, he had picked her at first glance. This had been because her eyes somewhat resembled Qiao Lian’s.

They were clear and bright.

However, while such a pair of eyes were dazzling and projected hope on a spirited person like Qiao Lian, on this lifeless and dull girl they seem to lack that sparkle.

Lu Nanze cast his gaze down and nodded. Then he turned to glance at the lounge.


He led Qiao Yiyi to their designated seats, but before they got there, he halted and pulled a pendant out of his pocket. Holding the object out to Qiao Yiyi, he said, “Go to the bride’s lounge and give this to her. Just tell her that it’s my wedding gift.”

Immediately, Qiao Yiyi took the pendant with both hands, in a respectful manner. She nodded.

With that, she headed towards the lounge.

On her way there, however, she heard a few snide remarks.

“Oh, look at that timid girl. She’s quite ugly, isn’t she?!”

“She doesn’t have a good figure either. I don’t get it. Why did Lu Nanze even pick her?”

“Exactly. And also did you see it? Just now when Mr. Lu was trying to flirt with Ms. Qiao, she didn’t even react. Do you think she’s not quite in her right mind?”

“What do you know? Everybody knows that she only managed to marry Lu Nanze because her name is Qiao Yiyi. Otherwise how could she have possibly gotten a man like Mr. Lu? So what can I say, really?”

With a word here and there, those people completely ignored her presence. And even when she turned to look at them, they continued their conversation without caring.

Qiao Yiyi’s eyes flashed for a moment as she listened to them. Without saying anything, she continued to walk ahead.

At this point, a waiter who was carrying a tray with glasses of red wine on it walked past her.

She suddenly stretched her leg out to make the waitress trip.

At once, the tray shook and the glasses of wine flew away, landing directly on the group of gossipy women.

In that moment, cries of alarm came from their direction.

The red wine had rained on them, so there were now ugly red patches on their gowns.

However, Qiao Yiyi had a petite frame so she was able to nimbly squeeze her way out.

The women berated the waiter. “What on earth is wrong with you?”

The waiter immediately apologized. “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. I felt someone trip me.”

But when he turned around, there was no one there.

Ignoring the commotion behind her, she almost skipped her way to the lounge.

At the door, she twitched her mouth as a reflex and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Given the permission to enter now, Qiao Yiyi pushed open the room door and walked in. As she did so, she saw Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan laughing, apparently over something they were talking about.
