Chapter 11: What the hell is this kind of plot?

The Lu family and the Jian family live in the same villa district. Whether it’s an illness or something else, how could it be hidden from the Jian family?

If it were in the past, Jian Yao might be heartbroken.

After all, what girl doesn’t want her marriage to be supported and blessed by both families?

But now, when Jian Yao heard the news, she even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lu family didn’t know about the change of the engagement ceremony’s protagonist. If the Lu family came over tomorrow and saw something wrong, it would be too much of a mood killer.

The Jian family wasn’t afraid, they were just afraid that the Gu family would be embarrassed.

The night before the engagement, Jian Yao’s best friend Xu Si finally arrived from Paris just in time.

Her family runs an entertainment company, and she holds the position of deputy general manager. She was recently invited to Paris to watch a fashion show.

Obviously, she already knew about Lu Chengze and the Lu family on her way back, and as soon as she entered the Jian family, she couldn’t help but scold.

She was a regular at the Jian family, and she went in as if it were her own home, going straight to Jian Yao’s room.

“This scumbag Lu Chengze, he dared to leave you on your engagement day?”

She casually threw a limited-edition bag worth hundreds of thousands onto the bed, then sat down beside Jian Yao, chattering endlessly.

“I told you before, this bastard Lu Chengze has bad character, you just wouldn’t believe me, you had to hang on to this tree.”

“And that Liu Yiyi, I don’t even want to talk about it!”

It was just that in college, a car almost hit Lu Chengze on campus, and she pushed him out of the way.

That little scratch, to be honest, if she went to the hospital a little late, the wound would have healed. But still, she had the nerve to call herself Lu Chengze’s savior.

She constantly provoked Jian Yao, and now even dared to make trouble on such a big occasion as the engagement.

What self-harm? Xu Si didn’t buy into that moral blackmail.

Jian Yao and Lu Chengze grew up together, and she was just an outsider who suddenly appeared, and now she’s playing the suicide card.

As far as she was concerned, with the distance between Beijing and Shanghai, if she really wanted to die, Lu Chengze would probably arrive after she was already cold.

Xu Si snorted, if Lu Chengze really went to collect Liu Yiyi’s body, forget about not being present at the engagement, she, Xu Si, would take charge of the entire funeral.

She would buy two trending searches, making sure she went out with glory.

The more Xu Si thought about it, the angrier she got, her eyes rolling up to the sky.

“All these years, Liu Yiyi’s car, house, job, even her brother’s job, were all taken care of by Lu Chengze. No matter how big the favor, there should be a limit, right?”

Just because of this, Jian Yao should unconditionally tolerate Liu Yiyi interfering between her and Lu Chengze for the rest of her life?

She pointed her long finger at Jian Yao’s head, the diamonds on her nails sparkling brightly, she gritted her teeth.

“Jian Yao, there are not enough men in the world, he’s not kind, don’t blame us for being unkind. If you trust me, cancel the engagement, I’ll introduce you to someone better!”

“I can’t stand this anymore!”

Xu Si was in a rage, and she pressed down on Jian Yao’s forehead with some force. Jian Yao leaned back, touched her forehead that was pressed by Xu Si, and her voice was soft and sweet.

“Your long nails are hurting me.”

Xu Si subconsciously looked at her extended nails, feeling a little guilty, she was about to apologize, but when she looked up and saw Jian Yao’s sweet and sweet face with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

“Don’t change the subject!”

Xu Si tightened her face, trying to make herself look more serious.

Jian Yao’s personality is soft, her voice is also soft, but her face is stunningly beautiful, which is exactly to her liking.

She has been a face-lover since she was a child, and she became friends with Jian Yao because she was beautiful. She couldn’t stand her being coquettish.

Jian Yao knew her weakness, and every time she talked about Lu Chengze, she used this trick to fool her, and it always worked.

Xu Si gritted her teeth, finally experiencing the helplessness of persuading someone eight hundred times but still ending up attending the wedding.

She, a woman with exes everywhere and brothers like dogs, why did she have such a love-brained girlfriend?

Jian Yao poured a glass of water and handed it to her, “I wasn’t changing the subject, I just don’t want you to be angry.”

It wasn’t worth getting upset over Lu Chengze and Liu Yiyi.

Xu Si was still fuming, but she took the water from Jian Yao and took a couple of sips.

“Do you know who I ran into at the airport when I came back?”

She was so full of anger, she couldn’t wait for Jian Yao to speak, and she just blurted everything out.

“Lu Chengze’s parents and the Lu family’s twins went on a trip abroad.”

Even if it was just a rural engagement, let alone two families getting married, it wouldn’t make sense for the whole family of the groom not to attend.

Xu Si’s delicately drawn eyebrows were tightly furrowed, “Jian Yao, they are just taking advantage of your good nature, deliberately bullying you. If you can even tolerate this, I will never say another word about you and Lu Chengze in the future.”

As a friend, she had already said everything she could. If she continued, after they got married, it would be her who would be in a difficult position.

Jian Yao nodded, her peach blossom eyes, which were the same as Jian Ning’s, rarely showed a hint of decisiveness.

“I know.”

She knew that Lu Chengze had no boundaries, was arrogant and self-important, and was not a good match.

She knew that the Lu family claimed to be sick, but in fact, they went abroad to travel, taking advantage of the fact that she and her sister were orphans and their parents had passed away, leaving them with only two girls to support the Jian family.

Jian Yao looked at Xu Si seriously, “So, I have to get engaged.”

“I’m just changing the person I’m getting engaged to.”

The world is always stricter on women. If she broke off the engagement, the Lu family might be criticized, but she and her sister would also be gossiped about.

The Jian family was already in a difficult situation, with many company shareholders waiting to catch them sisters’ mistakes. She couldn’t drag the Jian family down.

Therefore, finding someone with a better family background and more outstanding than Lu Chengze was her only and best choice.

As for whether it would slap the Lu family in the face, it wasn’t something Jian Yao was considering.

When Xu Si heard Jian Yao say she knew, so she had to get engaged, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes, so much so that when she heard the second half of the sentence, she choked.

“What did you say?”

Changing the person?

Did she mean what she thought she did?

Jian Yao explained word by word, “The person I’m getting engaged to tomorrow is not Lu Chengze, it’s Gu Zhiyan.”

The kind where both families have met and the betrothal gifts have been exchanged.

Xu Si gasped in shock, her almond-shaped eyes widened.

Was it the Gu Zhiyan she was thinking of?

Was it?

Was it?

The Gu Zhiyan who had crushed Lu Chengze’s entire youth and who he still held a grudge against?

What the hell is this shōjo manga plot?

She couldn’t even imagine what Lu Zhiyan’s expression would be when he found out the truth!

For the rest of her life!

To be able to see her Yao-mei ditch Lu Chengze in this lifetime, it was worth it.

After the excitement subsided, Xu Si secretly observed Jian Yao’s expression.

“It’s true, right? You’re not kidding me?”

Before, she was always acting like she couldn’t live without Lu Chengze. Why did she look so unfazed when they were really breaking up?

Jian Yao sat there calmly, letting her examine her. She didn’t know what she was thinking, but a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes, “It’s true. The betrothal gifts were personally delivered by Old Mrs. Gu.”
