Chapter 656: Be Together, Don’t Miss out on Him

“I know that I quarreled with you in the past and said unpleasant things to you. If you’re angry and refuse to help me, I have nothing to say,” Gan Minglu said truthfully.
Although she and Gan Wenyu were not biological sisters, they grew up together and were closer than real sisters. Although they had their own social interactions after they grew up, whenever they encountered difficulties, the other party would come to their aid.
“It’s not about whether we get along or not. If a thief were to enter your house and rob you of everything, or even all your properties, would you treat this thief as family?” Lin Gantang asked. “Normal people wouldn’t.”
Therefore, she couldn’t help Lin Mingbai’s family.
Gan Minglu didn’t say anything else. She let out a long sigh. “I know I was brusque, but I can’t think of any other way.”
“She shouldn’t be asking for help.” Lin Gantang’s gaze was calm. “She should bear responsibility for what she has done.”
“I know. I was presumptuous today; sorry for disturbing you,” Gan Minglu said.
Gan Minglu probably had a favor to ask of someone, so she didn’t speak in her usual sinister tone today and left quickly.
Lin Gantang walked towards Jiang Tongtong.
Jiang Tongtong and Madam Fu seemed to get along quite well, so Lin Gantang did not disturb them.
Most of the family and friends had arrived, and the important guests arrived late. Qin Yuanyi and Qin Yuanzhong personally welcomed a few men. Lin Gantang saw them from afar and recognized them as people from the officialdom.
The eldest son of the Qin family was in politics and the second son was in business. The two brothers had a very good relationship, so it was not surprising that they were invited.
At the beginning of the engagement banquet, Qin Jiayao walked gracefully into the hall step by step on her father’s arm. Her beautiful curvy red strapless dress was festive and warm, making her slender waist seem to be unable to withstand a grip. Her high black hair bun complemented her snow-white skin, and the thin folds at the hem of the dress gently rippled with her footsteps. Under the dim yellow lights, it was moving and beautiful.
Ji You, the bridegroom-to-be, looked at Qin Jiayao with a gentle smile.
For someone like Qin Jiayao, who came from a good family background and had an outstanding appearance, it was hard for Ji You not to like her.
All the guests’ gazes were on the stage. When Father Qin was giving his speech, Lin Gantang shifted her gaze and noticed a person who had quietly left the lively banquet hall.
It was Shi Jun.
Lin Gantang recalled Qin Xicheng’s words. The Qin family had distributed invitations to every guest.
In that case, Shi Jun had also received it.
She suddenly felt that Qin Jiayao was quite ruthless.
Lin Gantang said a few words to Jiang Tongtong and left the banquet hall for the moment.
Shi Jun didn’t leave. He was outside, leaning against the doorpost carved with flowers. Separated by a wall, there was a noisy and festive ceremony inside, and he was alone outside.
He was also dressed up, but he was not the main character.
“You’re here.” Shi Jun saw Lin Gantang.
“Why?” He forced a smile. “You followed me because you’re afraid that I will take things too hard?”
Lin Gantang could tell that his smile was forced. She followed his gaze and saw a large patch of red roses symbolizing love.
“Before I came out, Yanqing even mentioned you to me,” she said.
“It’s good that you’re here. Help me pass the congratulatory gift to her.” Shi Jun took out a small box from his suit pocket and tossed it to Lin Gantang. “Go on in. What’s there to see here? Also…”
Lin Gantang looked at him, waiting for his words.
“I’ve only been standing here for a short while, and my heart is already so f*cking uncomfortable.” Shi Jun laughed self-mockingly. “Back then, when you were about to get married, Wen Yanqing stood outside the auditorium for half a day. I don’t know how he endured it.
“Just be with him. I don’t have a chance with Qin Jiayao anymore. Don’t miss out on Yanqing..”
