Her throat felt sour and uncomfortable with something stuck inside. She stared at the picture, her lips trembling with overwhelming resentment. Ye Chenxing, why?
Why could she monopolize all his affection, when she was nothing but a disreputable woman who had never made any sacrifices for him?
She could not make sense of it, nor could she swallow her pride, yet she could do nothing about it.
As the banquet began, all the seats were filled. At the grand celebration with fifty tables, Buyu, the son of Gu Buyu, elegantly held up his wine glass:
"Dear friends and relatives, and all the guests who have traveled long distances to join this banquet:
Thank you very much for gathering here tonight. On behalf of my father, I express my deep appreciation and warm welcome to all the guests attending the banquet. For this first toast, I propose that we all raise our glasses to wish our Gu Family everlasting prosperity, for generations to come!"
Everyone stood up and drank together.
