Chapter 397: Xiao Mingyang's Worry
Xiao Mingyang looked at Lin Yuqing and said softly, "Don't worry. Although you look like my wife, I will never disrespect you, nor will I treat you like her. Because you... are not her after all."
Yes, she has lost her memory now. She has no memory of the past and is not herself at all.
After saying that, Xiao Mingyang curled his lips and said, "Xuan'er and Zhenzhen are still waiting for you inside, go in." Then he turned and walked forward. Looking at his back, Lin Yuqing felt her heart sinking bit by bit.
Then I followed him into the room. I felt unhappy at first, but as I played with the two children, I gradually forgot about what happened before and started playing with them wholeheartedly.
Xiao Mingyang poured a glass of water and stood by watching the three of them play together.
Her bag was placed on the table, with a corner exposed. Seeing this familiar corner, Xiao Mingyang squinted his eyes and looked at it, as if he had seen it somewhere.
With doubt, he raised his hand to pull out the thing, and a familiar invitation appeared in front of him.
Isn't this the invitation that Yilin gave me yesterday?
She said her birthday was coming up and invited him to attend, then left the invitation on his car, but he ignored it.
Looking at the invitation, Xiao Mingyang glanced at Lin Yuqing, who was having a great time, and asked, "Who gave you this invitation?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing turned her head and glanced at him. Without thinking much, she replied, "It was given by Madam Bai. She said that Yilin's birthday is in a few days and asked me to go with her."
Xiao Mingyang raised his eyebrows: "Are you going?"
"Why don't you go?" Lin Yuqing looked at her puzzledly. Not to mention that she was Aunt Bai's daughter, but also her boyfriend's sister. It was reasonable for her to go.
"Nothing, I just think the party is boring. Do you really want to go?"
Lin Yuqing nodded: "Of course, Aunt Bai has prepared gifts and even a dress for me. I have to go. It will be boring for sure, but I just need to hold on for a few hours."
After hearing this, Xiao Mingyang stopped talking and looked down at the invitation. Since she had chosen to go, he would accompany her, and he could take care of her if anything happened.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and Bai Yilin's birthday finally arrived.
Her birthday party was held in a grand manner in the Bai family mansion. It was said that all the guests were from the upper class, and most of them were young men. Although it was said to be a birthday party, anyone with a keen eye could see that it was a blind date party held for her by Mrs. Bai.
Although it was known for a long time that Bai Yilin and Xiao Mingyang were engaged, the engagement was cancelled not long ago. Later, news of her suicide came, but after nearly two months, the news gradually faded.
Everyone knew that Bai Yilin loved Xiao Mingyang so deeply that she committed suicide by slitting her wrists. Some people said that she was an infatuated woman, while others secretly laughed at her and called her an idiot for risking her life for a man.
But even so, the Bai family is one of the four major families, and it is a great honor to be able to marry into the Bai family.
There were a lot of people coming, and Lin Yuqing was one of them. She stood in the crowd, holding a high-heeled glass of red wine in her hand, looking at the people coming and going with boredom.
Tonight she wore a light purple strapless dress. The tight skirt brought out her perfect figure to the fullest. She also put on light makeup, so she looked particularly charming tonight.
Just standing here had attracted the attention of many single men, as well as the envy and jealousy of women, but Lin Yuqing was completely unaware of all this.
Her attention was not on these people, but on the scene, praying in her heart that time would pass quickly so that she could go home early. She really didn't like these occasions.
Fortunately, she is just an unknown girl, otherwise she would be exhausted if she had to entertain so many people like those adults.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, sat down at the table, picked up the plate and prepared to eat.
Suddenly a dark shadow enveloped her. Lin Yuqing turned her head and saw a formally dressed man wearing black-framed glasses looking at her with a smile.
"This young lady is so beautiful and charming. I wonder which family she is from?"
Hearing this, Lin Yuqing didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, she forked a piece of fruit and put it into her mouth. While eating, she said vaguely: "I'm not a rich lady. I'm just lucky enough to be invited by Madam Bai to attend Miss Lin's banquet."
The man seemed a little surprised by her appearance, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes, as if he admired her even more. "It seems that the young lady's temperament is genuine, straightforward and unpretentious. I wonder if I have the honor to meet you."
"Hello, my name is Zhang Deli!" He smiled and stretched out his hand to her.
Lin Yuqing turned around and looked at the hands in front of her. She pursed her lips and had to put down the plate. Just as she was about to reach out her hand, someone was one step faster than her and blocked her way. She said coldly, "I'm sorry, this is my girlfriend. If she knows other men besides me, I don't think it's necessary. Sir, please go back."
Hearing the voice, Lin Yuqing raised her head suddenly. It was Bai Yiran standing in front of her. His eyes were cold and there was no smile on his face. It seemed that the man's behavior made him very unhappy.
The man was stunned for a moment. He looked extremely possessive, but Yuqing, who was sitting there, looked at him in astonishment. He then stepped forward and said, "This lady doesn't seem to know you. How could she be your girlfriend? Sir, I know this lady is very beautiful, but even if you like her, you should compete fairly. How can you be so arrogant and unreasonable as to directly say that she is your girlfriend?"
Hearing this, Bai Yiran narrowed his eyes and stared at him in disbelief. He hadn't expected that he would not give up.
The man was speechless after seeing what he said, and was still smug, thinking that he was right. He said to Yuqing, "Miss, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." After saying that, he looked at Bai Yiran and said, "I don't know what this gentleman's last name is, and why is he so arrogant?"
Lin Yuqing looked at the man in astonishment, feeling rather amused. This was probably the first time Bai Yiran had met someone like him, right? That was true, but she hadn't expected him to be so eloquent despite wearing black-framed glasses and looking like a nerd.
But she was also worried for him because she seemed to feel the anger burning in Bai Yiran.
Bai Yiran pursed his lips, looked into the distance, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Why would Mom invite such a person?"
