Leigh kisses her a few more times before reluctantly leaving.
Jessie smiles as she watches the man's car leave the neighborhood. Only when she can no longer see it does the smile on her face turn cold.
She strokes the diamond ring on her finger and throws it into her bag without hesitation.
And she goes into the apartment.
....
After that day, Lily never sees Louis again.
On one hand, she has sent an apology on WeChat and Louis has not replied. On the other hand, she is too busy with a lot of things to do. When she realizes it, it is Louis and Stella's wedding day.
Early in the morning, the news of their marriage spreads on the Internet, and even the employees of the company where Lily works are discussing it.
Lily pretends not to know and continues to work in the office.
Jessie calls and asks why she doesn't go to the wedding and if she is scared. Lily doesn't know why, so she hangs up the phone.
To her surprise, Jessie just comes looking for her.
"You didn't do him any wrong before. Why don't you go?" Jessie forcefully pulls Lily out, takes her to an upscale dress shop to pick out clothes, and then goes to have her hair done.
On the way to the wedding, Jessie begins to preach at Lily, "You have to go, and surprise him with your beauty! If you don't go, what will Miss Stella think of you?"
Lily is still reluctant, "I don't want to attend it. Besides, I am not invited."
"We're going to ruin his wedding. Will he not let us in?" Jessie rolls her eyes and says, "If they don't let us in, we have Leigh. That guy should have arrived early."
Lily purses her lips tightly.
They say it is a fake marriage, but this wedding is so grand that the whole country probably know about it.
"Lily, are you unhappy?" Jessie leans over and holds Lily's arm, "Do you still like President Smith?"
"No."
"That's not what your expression shows." Jessie is not stupid and she says, "But He lies to you like that. If I were you, I would never forgive him."
Lily laughs, "Then why are you dragging me to their wedding?"
"That's different." Jessie says seriously, "I'm just afraid that if you don't go, those reporters will make up stories where you think you are inferior to Miss Stella."
She shows her phone to Lily and says excitedly, "Look, I pick these men carefully. Two of them have their own companies. Shall we go to meet them after the wedding?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Yes, it's time for President Smith to see how outstanding you are, being chased after by a lot of men!"
"...."
As the two of them are chatting, the taxi is hit fiercely to their surprise, and they almost fly out of their seats.
Lily looks out of the window and finds the lights dim, as if they are going through the tunnel.
The taxi is struck. A few men get off the car in front of them, who are muscular and tough at first glance, striding towards them.
When Jessie is still scolding the car in front of them, Lily sees a few men getting out of the car behind them and knows that something is going to happen, so she quickly knocks on the ring on her hand.
A man knocks on the window outside.
After the window goes down, he says angrily to Lily, "Miss Lily, please come."
It sounds like he will tear down the car if she doesn't get off.
This is the first time Jessie has faced such a situation. She is a little dumbfounded. When she sees Lily get off the car, she grabs Lily's hand and says, "I'll go with you. I'm afraid...."
