The crystal chandelier made my eyes hurt.
I stood in the corner of the banquet hall, holding the glass of cold champagne in my hand, looking at the couple on the stage smiling happily. Su Qingqing wore a custom-made white dress today, with the neckline lower than her face. She held Gu Yan's arm like a cat that had just caught fish.
"Wanwan, why are you still standing here?"
My stepmother, Zhou Lihua, walked up to me at some point, with a goosebump-inducing smile on her face. Her voice was not too loud, not too quiet, just enough for the guests at the surrounding tables to hear: "Today is the engagement party for your sister and Gu Yan. As a sister, you should go up and say a few words of blessing."
The sights around me were like needles.
I know what she's going to do. Ever since the day Su Qingqing announced her engagement to Gu Yan, she had been waiting for today's occasion. She wanted me to admit defeat in front of everyone, to admit that I was an abandoned loser in front of everyone.
"That's what Aunt Zhou said." I put the champagne glass on the table next to me and smiled, "But if you want to wish me well, I should let them say it first."
Zhou Lihua was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect me to be so calm.
