Gu Xiaoai felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her hands on her knees tightly clenched into fists, her nails digging deeper and deeper into her palms, trying to cover up the depression in her heart with pain.

"Miss Luo, you always listen to your third brother like this. You will suffer a lot when you marry in the future." Li Juesi, who didn't know what to do, also nodded at the side.

"Bang--"

Li Juefeng punched the table again and glared at Li Juesi, "Stop saying a word and no one will think you are dead!"

"..." Li Juesi frowned, shouted dissatisfied, and stood up from the table, "What medicine did you take wrong today?!"

Immediately, everyone in the banquet hall turned their attention again and looked towards them.

"Second brother, sit down. Father will be here in a moment. Pay attention."

Li Juexi glanced at Li Juesi and said calmly.

Li Juesi was not really angry with Li Juefeng. Li Juexi tried to persuade him to make peace, and Li Juesi sat down along the steps.

There was a deathly silence on the dining table.

A servant hurried in from outside and whispered something in Li Juexi's ear.

Li Juexi stood up, took the loudspeaker from the manservant on the side and said, "Everyone, my father is not feeling well, so he won't come down to have dinner with you. Please feel free to do so."

Mr. Li doesn’t show up anymore?!

Does that mean the crisis she brings to Li Juefeng is smaller?

wrong……

There are so many people and so many pairs of eyes in the banquet hall. She can't cause trouble for Li Juefeng, she can't cause trouble for him...

Gu Xiaoai told herself over and over again in her heart, trying to temporarily forget about Li Juefeng and the fiancée beside Li Juefeng, and regard herself as just a decoration in this banquet room...

An emotionless decoration.

When the party is over, she can leave quietly without causing trouble to anyone.

…

Everyone was talking about going to visit Mr. Li. Li Juexi took a loudspeaker to thank everyone, and then expressed his inconvenience...

Everyone's eyes were on Li Juexi.

"Why did my elder brother bring you here?!" Li Juefeng stared at Gu Xiaoai and whispered in a low voice, his black eyes bottomless.

"I want to know too."

Gu Xiaoai lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him.

She was afraid that when she looked up, what she saw was not Li Juefeng, but his fiancée beside him.

"Why didn't you tell me this?!" Li Juefeng asked coldly, "Are you coming here to die? So stupid!"

She actually never mentioned a word to him about such a big matter. Does she know how dangerous it is for her to appear in the Li family!

"..."

Gu Xiaoai said nothing.

It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, or that she hadn't thought about asking him for help, but he was very busy and she didn't dare to disturb him.

She didn't want to be a woman who would cause him trouble...but now she was causing him the biggest trouble.

"I'll have someone take you away right now!" Seeing that Gu Xiaoai remained silent, Li Juefeng said coldly.

"Okay." Gu Xiaoai agreed quietly and obediently without any objection.

Li Juefeng lowered his eyes and accidentally glanced at her hand. She clenched her fist tightly, and a trace of blood showed out.

Li Juefeng's eyes flashed, and when everyone's attention was not on their side, he stretched out his hand to forcefully loosen Gu Xiaoai's fist. Gu Xiaoai struggled for a while, but was unable to withstand Li Juefeng's strength, and his fingers were forced open.

Break it apart.

…

Her palms were scratched by nails and there was blood in them. How could she exert such force to do this? Li Juefeng looked at her in shock, his heart was severely cut.
