Hope Coffee House - chapter 8

After walking around the hotel for a long time, Wu Liang hurried back to the hall waiting for the engagement banquet to begin.

At this time, the hall was filled with people. Wu Liang picked an inconspicuous position from where he could clearly view the stage and sat down, waiting for Gao Qi to appear.

Not long after sitting down, a woman in a red cheongsam walked into the hall with a man in a sun-colored suit, and shouts of congratulations came from the surrounding guests.

It was Gao Qi and her fiance.

Unlike Wu Liang’s imagination, Gao Qi was not a woman with a really beautiful face. She could only be regarded as passable. She had a good figure and looked pretty only after applying makeup. With a cheongsam hugging all the curves on her body, she looked elegant.

Her fiance was not as old and ugly as he had imagined either, but a young man with a good appearance, tall, strong, and estimated to be in his early thirties.

The host congratulated the two, and the sound of applause filled the hall.

The host then started the warm-up game in accordance with what “General Deng’s cousin” had said.

“The couple’s happy and sweet engagement ceremony is about to begin. Now we have a surprise for Miss Gao, some questions about lovely memories.”

Gao Qi thought it was a warm-up session. She didn’t think much about it, smiled pleasantly and nodded.

At the corner of the stage, Wu Liang who held a lot of truth cards sneered.

“Miss Gao, if a drop of water represented a ray of love, what would your love for Mr. Deng be like?”

This question was easy, the answer was obviously nothing more than rivers and seas! Many guests under the stage rolled their eyes secretly.

“A sea of ​​fire.” Gao Qi answered with a smile.

What was the sea of ​​fire? Is there even water in the sea of ​​fire? One can’t even find water vapor!

Not only the audience, but even Deng Gao didn’t understand what his fiancee meant. He could only put on a smile and looked at Gao Qi affectionately.

Gao Qi was also shocked by her answer. Facing Deng Gao’s gaze, she returned a slightly mischievous smile with tenderness in her eyes, thinking secretly how to resolve the matter.

Hearing Gao Qi ’s answer, the host was in shock and horror. But when he saw the two smiling at each other, he knew that this was the program that had been arranged between Mr. and Mrs. Deng ’s husband and wife. He continued to ask with confidence.

“Ms. Gao, what is the most attractive thing about Mr. Deng?”

“It’s just that he has a little bit of money and a good face.” Gao Qi said lightly.

The chins of the guests almost fell to the ground.

Deng Gao was not sure what Gao Qi and the host were doing, he could only continue to smile, but the smile had become stiffer.

Gao Qi already knew that she was being pranked, but he didn’t know what method the person used to make her speak uncontrollably. Gao Qi was alarmed and planned to tell the host to stop immediately.

However, the host had asked the third question: “Miss Gao, when did you fall in love with Mr. Deng?”

“Never fell in love with him.” Gao Qi said the truth again.

All three questions on the card were asked, but the host knew what to do.

The host quickly asked with a smile, “Why do you want to get engaged with Mr. Deng?”

“Get engaged, dump him. It would make him lose face, feel ashamed and mad,” The words wouldn’t stop rushing out.

“Enough!” Deng Gao’s face had already turned purple with anger, and he gave Gao Qi a hard slap on her face, and angrily stomped away.

Resentment ​​from Gao Qi: +100, +100, +100

In just a few minutes, Wu Liang fully received 900 negative sentiment values ​​from Gao Qi, and the money spent on the truth cards had already returned.

Wu Liang ended the recording and displayed a satisfied smile. After opening Chen Wei’s WeChat, he sent this video to Chen Wei.

He would love it.

Gao Qi’s engagement banquet was a major failure. It was guaranteed that no local man would ever want to marry her.

Coupled with the crisp slapping at the end of the video, and Gao Qi’s half swollen face, the video was hilarious.

He hoped that after Chen Wei saw it, the Hope value would improve a lot, and he would get one step closer to completing the task at hand.

The guests under the stage were being noisy, some of them chased after Deng Gao, and more guests stayed in their seats to discuss and point at Gao Qi on the stage. Some people even took a photo of Gao Qi.

The host on the stage was too stunned, couldn’t believe what happened in front of him.

Wasn’t this the warm-up program that Mr. Deng had scheduled? Why did the young couple suddenly turn their faces?

He silently looked at Gao Qi thinking, ‘Ah, half of the guests are still here. Shouldn’t she say something to save herself?’

Gao Qi covered her half-swollen face and walked directly in the direction of Wu Liang.

The chairs beside Wu Liang were empty. Gao Qi covered her face and sat down beside Wu Liang, saying playfully: “Little brother, who are you? Was this fun to see?”

He hadn’t expected Gao Qi to come straight to him. Wu Liang was a little surprised. Could Gao Qi have discovered that he was behind this?

“Auntie, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Wu Liang looked at Gao Qi with an innocent look on his handsome face.

Gao Qi: “……”

Resentment from Gao Qi: +999

The negative sentiment value was not 100 this time, but 999?

Astonished, he looked at Gao Qi to test: “Auntie, you just got dumped and you are already finding a new thigh to hug? Although I have a little money on hand and don’t have a girlfriend, I don’t want to date an auntie. “

Gao Qi: “…….”

Resentment from Gao Qi: +999

“Even if you are looking for someone, you have to look better. Auntie is so ugly even after applying makeup, that after that slap, you resemble a pig. We two really don’t match!” Wu Liang said sincerely, scratching the back of his head.

Resentment from Gao Qi: +999

“Little brother, when I answered the questions, you were the only one laughing.” Gao Qi’s slender fingers gently massaged her swollen cheek. Her eyelashes dropped down, making WU Liang unable to see her expression.

“For the first time in an engagement banquet, the fiancee said on the spot that she didn’t love her fiance, is this not something to be laughed upon?” Wu Liang mocked.

“Is Chen Wei fine? You came because of him.” Gao Qi stared at him for a while, her mouth slightly raised, then she got up and left.

Gao Qi had already guessed what was going on.

Wu Liang frowned and looked at Gao Qi’s back. His palms were slightly wet. After a pause, he got up and caught up with Gao Qi.

“I don’t know Chen Wei.” Wu Liang used a trust card and looked at Gao Qi solemnly.

Gao Qi just smiled slightly at Wu Liang, didn’t say a word, and strode away.

For some reason, there was a hint of vigilance in Wu Liang’s heart.

Fortunately, Gao Qi’s engagement banquet had been ruined, and his purpose has been achieved.

Wu Liang looked at his Hope currency. In three sentences, Gao Qi had contributed 2997 hope coins to himself, and now he had a huge sum of 6,097 hope coins.

This time he had really profited.

Although the two protagonists of the engagement banquet were gone, the delicious dishes prepared were still there. At this time, the hotel waiters were serving dishes to each table.

Wu Liang decided to have a celebratory dinner. Although Deng Gao, the unlucky guest, had been taken away, he helped him see Gao Qi’s character and true intentions before marriage. This little rice dumpling here was not guilty.

The dishes were truly exquisite and extraordinary, and the taste was excellent. Many of the dishes were ones that Wu Liang was having for the first time, and some of them could not even be named.

Wu Liang fiddled with his mobile phone while eating, waiting for Chen Wei to talk about this humorous video of Gao Qi being beaten.

But after eating this lunch, he still did not receive a reply.

His heart was anxious to let Chen Wei watch the video so as to raise his hopes as soon as possible. Wu Liang quickly left the hotel and called Chen Wei.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off.” A cold female voice came.

Switched off.

Why would Chen Wei do that?

Not good!

Wu Liang immediately looked at Chen Wei’s Hope in his mind.

It had been 38% before, but now it had dropped directly to -98%!

Wu Liang’s heart froze instantly.

‘It’s all my fault.’

Did something unexpected happen to Chen Wei?
