Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict-Chapter 2025: All Sorts of Criticism

Ou Yihan’s eyes flashed with confusion.

She didn’t understand why Wen Jin disapproved of her introducing a girlfriend to Jing Xiaocha.

Upon hearing Jing Xiaocha mention that ’Classmate Jin’ was sending a car to pick her up, Ou Yihan couldn’t help but curiously ask, "Xiaocha, is the ’Classmate Jin’ you’re referring to Jin Zheyu?"

Jin Zheyu was the future heir of Star Summer Film and Television; could it be that he liked Xiaocha?

That’s why Wen Jin said Shi Tian wasn’t suitable for Xiaocha.

With that thought, Ou Yihan felt at ease.

Jing Xiaocha smiled and explained, "Sister Ou, it’s him."

"If you go back home now and then take his car, it would be too much trouble. Since you all have your gowns with you, just change here, and we can head straight to the hotel."

Wen Jin was just dissatisfied with Jin Zheyu. Perhaps all brothers are like this, wary and critical of men harboring intentions towards their sisters.

Jing Xiaocha was momentarily stunned.

She quietly defended herself, "It’s not that far from here to home. I can take a taxi back, so you don’t have to trouble yourselves with sending me."

"What do you need to go back for?"

"A gift. I’m attending a birthday banquet; I can’t go empty-handed, can I?"

Jing Xiaocha thought this was a good reason.

After witnessing the ambiguous moment between Ou Yihan and Wen Jin just now, she didn’t want to be the third wheel between them anymore.

Although Wen Jin hadn’t admitted he liked Ou Yihan, Jing Xiaocha could see that Ou Yihan liked Brother Wen a lot.

Just like Brother Wen said, Ou Yihan is a very good girl. In terms of appearance, family background, character, and education, she is a great match for Brother Wen.

Since Wen Jin treated her like a sister, she, as a sister, should be sensible and not disrupt her brother’s romantic pursuits.

Wen Jin frowned slightly and, as a matter of course, said, "I’ve already prepared a gift for you, it’s in the car. If you take the car Jin Zheyu sends to the banquet, I can’t guarantee that Jin Yunchang and Lady Jin won’t embarrass you in person."

"..."

Jing Xiaocha’s face changed slightly, and Ou Yihan quickly mediated with a smile, "Wen Jin, aren’t you exaggerating? I guess Jin Zheyu really likes our Xiaocha. Xiaocha is so pretty and cute, and the chairman and his wife aren’t that unreasonable."

"Sister Ou, Classmate Jin and I are just friends."

Jing Xiaocha instinctively explained, and Wen Jin said flatly, "If I’m not wrong, the companion beside Jin Zheyu tonight will be the daughter-in-law Jin Yunchang and his wife approve of."

At the dinner two nights ago, Jin Yunchang subtly hinted that they had already found a girlfriend for Jin Zheyu, the future young mistress of the Jin Family.

Therefore, Wen Jin didn’t want Jing Xiaocha to get involved, as she would be the one hurt in the end.

Even though Jin Zheyu had already entered Star Summer Film and Television, he was still constrained by his parents until he gained real power.

Upon hearing this, Jing Xiaocha could no longer insist on her opinion, and she hadn’t agreed to Jin Zheyu’s proposal to send a car for her in the first place.

She simply didn’t want to be the third wheel.

Wen Jin glanced down at his wristwatch and calmly said, "Change into your gown here, and we’ll go directly to the banquet hotel in a while."

With that, he stood up, strode toward the door with his long legs, and exited.

Ou Yihan blinked blankly, watched Wen Jin’s handsome figure for a second, then got up from the sofa, gently patted Jing Xiaocha’s hand, and comforted her, saying, "Xiaocha, don’t be upset. Although Wen Jin’s words were blunt, he’s just looking out for you."

"Sister Ou, I’m not angry."

Jing Xiaocha forced a smile.

She, too, didn’t want to interfere with him pursuing romance; why didn’t Brother Wen understand her good intentions?

Jin Yunchang’s birthday banquet was held at the most luxurious star-rated hotel in G City.

After getting out of the car, Ou Yihan took the initiative to link arms with Wen Jin. Jin Zheyu was somewhat stunned looking at Jing Xiaocha, while Jin Fengjiao glanced at the entwined arms of Ou Yihan and Wen Jin with a trace of jealousy in her eyes.

But she quickly masked it. Today was her father’s birthday banquet; such an occasion didn’t allow her to be wanton.

Turning her gaze to Jing Xiaocha, Jin Fengjiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of mockery as she smiled and said, "Miss Jing is so beautiful today—ah, precisely speaking, you should be referred to as Scriptwriter Jing."

Feigning a slip of the tongue, she covered her mouth with her hand, intending to vent her displeasure on Jing Xiaocha while it was less crowded.

Standing next to Jing Xiaocha, Jin Zheyu frowned, "Sister, you should go greet the other guests; I’ll accompany Xiaocha inside."

"Zheyu, your task tonight isn’t to accompany Jing Xiaocha. Don’t forget that Shirei is arriving in a few minutes. She’s come all the way from the capital just to attend dad’s birthday banquet. If you don’t treat her well, dad won’t let you off the hook."

The mention of that name made Jin Zheyu’s face darken.

But when he turned to look at Jing Xiaocha, he returned to a gentle expression, "Xiaocha, I’ll accompany you inside first. There are a few scriptwriters inside; I’ll introduce them to you."

Jing Xiaocha politely declined, "Senior, go about your duties; you don’t have to mind me. I can go in by myself."

"Here she is, here she is, Shirei is here."

Jin Fengjiao pointed excitedly at a luxury car approaching from the distance, speaking to Jin Zheyu.

Even though Jin Zheyu was unwilling to comply with his father’s arrangements, he still dared not anger his father.

So he said to Jing Xiaocha, "Xiaocha, you head inside first; I’ll come find you later."

Entering the luxurious banquet hall, Wen Jin and Ou Yihan were waiting for Jing Xiaocha.

It seemed they intended to keep her as the third wheel for the entire night.

Jing Xiaocha felt a sense of helplessness and had no choice but to follow Wen Jin and Ou Yihan as they introduced her to Mr. and Mrs. Jin Yunchang and other acquaintances Wen Jin knew.

Jing Xiaocha was surprised to discover that among the people Wen Jin knew, there were even scriptwriters, and well-known ones at that.

While Jing Xiaocha chatted with one such scriptwriter, Wen Jin and Ou Yihan finally slipped away.

As more and more people crowded the opulent banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers illuminated the space, casting scenes of mingling where drinks flowed and sophisticated figures mingled.

Jing Xiaocha seized a chance to step out of the main banquet hall, finding a quieter spot to catch her breath.

Indeed, it was quieter and the air felt fresher outside.

She stood beside the carved railing for a few minutes before being interrupted.

Not far ahead, there was a couple under the archway engaged in intimate activities.

Thankfully, the dim lighting made it hard to see clearly, but the sounds of their breathy exchanges traveled on the night breeze, making Jing Xiaocha hastily cover her mouth and eyes with her hand.

There’s an old saying that witnessing such acts will give you a sty! Oh goodness, she didn’t want that.

Thinking this, Jing Xiaocha turned to leave, worried someone might accuse her of peeping if she lingered.

In her hurried pace, a gust of night wind blew away the shawl from her shoulders, prompting her to let out a low exclamation. Just a few steps away, at the entrance, someone was lifting the bead curtain to enter.

Jing Xiaocha hurried over to retrieve her shawl, but the other person was quicker, stooping down to pick it up first.
