28

And her reaction, but let Xiao Cheng sit up and take notice.
Carrying the takeaway, Xiao Cheng stared at Vichy Colman without blinking with a pair of bottomless eyes. At that moment, he felt Vichy Colman's grievance, and also felt her inner strength.
There was even a moment when he seemed to see himself in Vichy Colman.
Because...They're so much alike.
"Ok, Vi, let's go in first."Siu, who had disliked Shelley Luen before, found her pretence even more distasteful.
He grabs Vichy Colman's hand, pulls her close to him and puts his arm around her shoulder.
Shelley Luen and Makino Field were surprised by the gesture.
"What?"
Shelley Luen reached up to her lips in surprise. "Vichy, you...When did you know Shelley Luen?He...He..."
When he was about to speak and then stopped, everyone knew.
She wanted to say that Xiao Cheng was a man about town, Iugi City's famous waste son, a philandering young man.
But because it was an engagement party, Shelley Luen's words never came out.
"Yuna, since Miss Meng is your friend, you should advise her to stay away from unreliable people."
Shelley Luen didn't speak out of deference to Makino Field, for fear of stirring up trouble and embarrassing the atmosphere. Who would have thought Makino Field would speak out directly?
The words were addressed to Shelley Luen, but she never looked away from Vichy Colman.
"Makino, maybe Vichy and Shau are just friends."Shelley Luen answered the question.
"Yeah, friend, girlfriend!
As a man, Xiao Cheng is keenly aware of the hostility from Makino Field, especially when he keeps his eyes on Vichy Colman.
Remembering that night's meeting at the club, Xiao Cheng had an idea in his heart, but it was unrealistic.
"I forgot to introduce you."
Since Xiao Cheng is willing to 'admit' that she is his girlfriend in order to protect her, especially such an 'ugly' face, in the face of public ridicule, he is still protecting her.
Vichy Colman, who has a heart of stone, will also be touched by her.
She took Xiao Cheng's hand and said, "Xiao Cheng, my boyfriend."
"You...Your boyfriend?"
Although Shelley Luen knew that Siu Cheng was known as a playboy, he was one of the four families in Iugi City. She liked Vichy Colman.
And such an ugly face!
What kind of vertigo did that bitch Vichy Colman use?She is annoyed but tries to be concerned. "Vichy, I know you have a hard life. You have to work and deliver food on the side to pay for your aunt and uncle's medical care.It's hard, but you can't be silly and take shortcuts, can you?"
'Taking a shortcut' is a very clever word.
With all the smart people present, who could not read between the lines of that sentence?
"Take the shortcut, also want to see if there is the capital."
Makino Field said coolly, as if sarcastically.
Then he added: "Xiao Xiao is surrounded by beautiful women. You should take a good look in the mirror."
"Yeah, she's so stupid."
"She is so ugly that I can hardly bear to look at her. Yet I thought Xiao Cheng would like her."
"Considering that Xiao Cheng is often beautiful, I want to find an ugly one to amuse myself. Ha, ha, ha."
"Fair enough, fair enough."
...
There was more chatter among the onlookers.
"Xiao Cheng?What are you doing to me, you naughty boy, making me look bad every day!"
Suddenly there was a voice of reprimand.
They arrived before anyone else.
The crowd made way for a man with graying temples to enter.
He was dressed in a suit, graying on the temples but sprightly, with a brisk walk and a stern face that looked threatening.
"This is not Mr. Shaw," he said.
"Xiao Cheng is the least worthy son of the Xiao family. I'm afraid Xiao Qitian was furious when he heard about Xiao Cheng."
"I'm sure he is."
"I'd be angry, let alone Mr. Shaw."
...
Listening to their whispers, Vichy Colman just knew that the man approaching was Siu Cheng's father.
Vichy Colman gasped.
When Xiao Cheng was standing here by himself, she thought he was representing the whole family. After all, it was only an engagement party.
Who knew that Mr. Hsiao himself had come.
Now, how does this end?
"Dad?"
Xiao Cheng looked at the man walking up to him and said "Dad" in a subtle tone, but he never let go of his hand on Vichy Colman's shoulder.
Xiao Qitian glared at Vichy Colman, his pale eyebrows twisting abruptly. "Today is the engagement party between Makino and Miss Meng. What are you doing?"
He pointed his hand at Vichy Colman again. "You don't make enough jokes?Find an ugly thing to embarrass yourself with."
Vichy Colman's mouth twitched a little, feeling guilty that he had caused Xiao Cheng so much trouble.
Shelley Luen, on the other hand, stood nearby, with a faint sense of triumph in her eyes.
Makino Field stood on the sidelines, silent.
"Dad, that's a lot of judging," Makino said.
Xiao grabbed Vichy Colman's hand and said, "Vichy Colman is plain, but she doesn't steal or rob. She works hard to earn money to support her parents who are lying in hospital. How can she be ashamed of herself?The face is given by her parents. Do you think she must die because she is ugly?"
'You...!"
Xiao Qitian did not expect Xiao Cheng to talk back to him for a strange and ugly woman, "said the right words, not to take the money of the Lao Tzu outside.This woman's parents are in hospital, do not take care of her parents, but also accompany you out to play, what is the mind, you don't know?"
"That's right, Xiao Xiao. The designation is for money."
"But Xiao Shao is not short of money."
"You never know."
"Such ugliness can still hold Xiao Xiao's appetite, which is extraordinary."
"Heavy taste..."
...
Onlookers laugh and laugh, think today is worth the trip, and see a 'play'.
"What she thinks, I don't care, as long as I am willing to do."Xiao Cheng takes Vichy Colman's side to the end.
Makino Field's displeasure was unmistakable as he finished.
Shelley Luen said nothing. She waited and waited, wishing that Mr. Shaw had taken care of Vichy Colman for her.
And Makino Field didn't offer to help Vichy Colman in this tense situation, which makes sense that the bitch doesn't matter to Makino Field.
Everything, as far as she was concerned, worked out for the best.
"If your mother had not died so early, I would have thrown you out of the house."
When Xiao Qi-tian mentioned Xiao Cheng's father, Vichy Colman suddenly felt Xiao Cheng's hand squeeze her suddenly.
Colman's strength was strong, as if he had been touched by weakness, and he was holding back his anger.
'And am I to thank you?'
"You..."Xiao Qitian also want to say what, aware of the side standing Makino Field face is not very good, had to give up, "go back to pick up you."
He cold hum a sound, into the banquet hall.
The fun was gone, and everyone went into the banquet hall.
Xiao Cheng dragged Vichy Colman to one side and hid himself in the crowd.
At the beginning of the engagement party, the host gave a speech. The elder husband and the Lai Fuan couple also spoke out. Shelley Luen also told a story about "getting married in a car accident" with Makino Field, which aroused a wave of admiration from the crowd.
Then it was time for dinner.
Vichy Colman has been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum since she found out she was pregnant. When she saw the greasy lunch on the table, she covered her mouth in disgust. "Xiao Cheng, sit down while I go to the bathroom."
She got up to go to the bathroom, but the second floor was crowded, so Colman ran to the third floor.
'Ew...Vomit..."
There was no one in the public bathroom on the third floor. She retched in the bathroom for a while and then vomited.
After a while, she went to wash her hands in front of the men's and women's public washbasin. She took a mouthful of water with her hands and drank a mouthful to gargle her mouth.
She turned and walked outside. When she passed the lounge, the door suddenly opened. Before she could react, she was pulled into it by someone and her back hand was pressed against the wall.
