100 Days Of Escaping My Wedding-Chapter 128: Discussing an Important Matter_1
Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Discussing an Important Matter_1
So, another pair of groomsmen and bridesmaids were thus decided upon.
Gong Xiaoqiao, with a full head of exasperation, couldn’t believe Jinmulin actually came to be Qin Yao and Gu Xiaorou’s groomsman—what a completely messy situation!
While she was inwardly groaning, Jinmulin leaned over to Leng Tou, "Brother, let’s discuss something, huh?"
"What’s up?" Leng Tou asked warily, his expression not at all one of good intentions.
"How about we switch?" suggested Jinmulin.
"Switch?"
"Yeah! I want to stand next to Xiaoqiao!"
She knew that the moment he arrived, he definitely wouldn’t leave things be. Gong Xiaoqiao helplessly pressed her hand to her forehead...
"No switching," Leng Tou refused without any room for negotiation.
Jinmulin, undeterred, went to negotiate with Gong Xiaoqiao, "Come on, junior sister! Go switch with Li Mo."
"Why all this swapping around? You brought Li Mo here, so how can you not take responsibility for her? Can’t you just behave?" Gong Xiaoqiao retorted.
Jinmulin felt so irritated he could grind his teeth, cursing her lack of conscience.
...
The wedding was about to begin; Jinmulin and Bai Limuo went inside to change clothes, the emcee took the stage to begin the opening remarks, and the bridal couple prepared for their last moments before the ceremony.
Qin Yao’s gaze continued to linger on Gong Xiaoqiao as if without interest, yet he received not a single response.
With just over ten minutes left, Gu Xiaorou took Gong Xiaoqiao’s hand, "Xiaoqiao, I’m a bit nervous. Will you accompany me to the restroom?"
Before Xiaoqiao could nod, Jinmulin yanked her hand back, "You’re not allowed to go."
The atmosphere turned a bit awkward for a moment.
"If I don’t go, are you planning to accompany her?" Gong Xiaoqiao chuckled lightly, nonchalantly breaking free from Jinmulin’s grip before leaving with Gu Xiaorou.
"Damn it!" Jinmulin cursed under his breath.
What on earth was Xiaoqiao thinking?
Why attend such a ridiculous wedding!
And to even willingly be Qin Yao and Gu Xiaorou’s bridesmaid—it was madness!
...
"Spit it out!" Upon reaching the restroom, Gong Xiaoqiao immediately shook off Gu Xiaorou’s hand.
Gu Xiaorou turned on the tap to wash her hands, watching Gong Xiaoqiao through the mirror, "Gong Xiaoqiao, haven’t you given up hope yet?"
"Which eye of yours sees me as not having given up? Please, don’t flatter yourself too much. Your darling might just be trash in someone else’s eyes!" Gong Xiaoqiao leaned against the wall, glancing at her with a lightness that showed no sign of bitterness or jealousy.
Gu Xiaorou sighed lightly, her eyes filled with sharp mockery, no trace of vulnerability, "Xiaoqiao, I admit you were really good to me back then and were my best friend. But, who told you that even though you were inferior to me in every aspect, you were always so lucky? Not only did my brother dote on you, but even the guy I had a crush on... only had eyes for you! Don’t blame me; blame yourself for not being able to keep a man!"
"Do you know that because of that incident, my mother died?" Gong Xiaoqiao asked softly, closing her eyes.
Gu Xiaorou gripped her fists tightly, "That was your own doing, no one else to blame! Only Qin Yao is foolish enough to feel guilty about it! Don’t think you can use this to bring Qin Yao back to your side; he doesn’t love you at all! The one he’s going to marry is only me!"
Gong Xiaoqiao took a deep breath, stood up to leave, "Thanks for the talk. It’s good of you to tell me this."
Like that, there was no longer any need for her to feel any guilt...
...
The wedding ceremony officially began.
First was the entrance of the groomsmen and bridesmaids.
Gong Xiaoqiao and Leng Tou walked side by side, hand in hand, through the ceremonial aisle, to the solemn and holy music.
