Xia Yangyang didn’t think like that.
After Xia Yangyang sat down, she felt calm and composed.
She seed to have gotten used to everyone’s peculiar gazes.
Now she didn’t care about anything anymore.
Xia Yangyang thought about the purpose of her visit.
She just ca here to seek clarity.
She simply wanted to ask why Xi Zijun said those things to Xingxing.
Why claim she killed her mother.
Why would one hurt an innocent child.
Xia Yangyang didn’t necessarily want any concrete outco.
But in the dark room, she was determined to verify.
The guests quickly took their seats.
On the stage, one star performance followed another.
By then, everyone was a bit hungry.
The table was filled with exquisite delicacies.
Gu Qichen and Xi Zijun also started toasting table by table.
To say it, it’s actually quite strange.
Given Gu Qichen’s status, even if it was Xi Zijun’s birthday, he didn’t have to toast table by table.
Usually, others would co over to toast them with flattering words.
Their actions seed more like an engagent party.
Xia Yangyang even suspected if it really was an engagent party.
Perhaps Xi Zijun held too significant a place in Gu Qichen’s heart, willing to break his habits and rules.
In Xi Zijun’s mind, it felt the sa.
Gu Qichen seldom toasted others.
But today, he took on the host’s role, toasting table by table.
This showed great respect to Xi Zijun.
The first table was the main table.
Soone poured wine into Xia Yangyang’s glass, unbeknownst to her.
Xia Yangyang knew she couldn’t drink in her current condition.
However, if she made it too obvious, it would arouse Gu Qichen’s suspicion.
Even though there were delicious dishes on the table, Xia Yangyang only found them greasy, and the sll made her nauseous.
But Xi Zijun was already standing next to Xia Yangyang.
Xi Zijun raised her glass: "Miss Xia, I offer this first toast to you. I truly have to thank you. You once were Ah Chen’s beloved, and I respect your past relationship. In Ah Chen’s heart, you are always his family, and also mine."
Xi Zijun’s words were generous, yet not deliberately sentintal.
Everyone could see that Xi Zijun’s words were just formalities.
But even so, nobody disliked her.
After all, Xi Zijun’s personality and image spoke for themselves.
Speaking like this now, everyone only felt she was a woman of high emotional intelligence.
In the eyes of others, she was also viewed as a devoted lover, making sacrifices for Gu Qichen.
Considering Gu Qichen had already been married before.
Back then, except for almost getting engaged to Gu Qichen, Xi Zijun didn’t even have a rumor.
She stubbornly waited until today.
In the eyes of her friends.
Xi Zijun was also considered a foolish girl, unwaveringly waiting for Gu Qichen to turn back.
After speaking, Xi Zijun finished her glass of red wine on the spot.
In front of Xia Yangyang was also a full glass of red wine.
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to drink it.
Fearing it might affect the child inside her.
But now everyone’s eyes were on her.
Especially with Gu Qichen present, Xia Yangyang was afraid to reveal any clues.
Finally, Xia Yangyang picked up her glass.
She only intended to take a light sip as a gesture.
But when the liquid touched her lips.
Xia Yangyang surprisingly discovered that the glass was filled not with wine, but with grape juice...
