24 Xin Yue in tears

Meanwhile, Lei Junshan was rushing to his office for his meeting when Grandma Lei stopped him.

"Junshan, where are you going?"

"Grandma, I have an important meeting. So, I have to go to the company."

"No meetings for two days," Grandma Lei said strictly, "You are getting engaged and you have to do preparations for it."

"But grandma, I really have to go," Lei Junshan insisted.

"Junshan, did you know? When I got engaged, I gave up on my university exams. Can't you postpone the meetings just for two days?"

"Grandma, it's really important for me to go to the office. When I get married, I promise you that I will definitely not go to the office for a week, okay?" Lei Junshan tried to convince his grandmother but to no avail.

Grandma Lei's face fell and a sad expression appeared on her face. 

Lei Junmo walked briskly towards Lei Junshan, "Brother, let's go. Everybody is waiting for you in the rehearsal hall."

Grandma Lei interrupted her youngest grandson, "Let it be, Junmo. The person who does not even listen to his grandma, do you think he will listen to you?"

Lei Junshan sighed on seeing his grandmother's downcast face, "This is not fair, grandma. You are blackmailing me emotionally. You know that after you make these puppy eyes, I cannot refuse to anything you ask for." 

Grandma Lei said cutely, "That is why I use this weapon only when it is absolutely necessary to get you agree to my wishes."

"All right, fine, let's go."

As soon as Lei Junshan agreed, Lei Junmo and Grandma Lei basically dragged him into the rehearsal room afraid that his decision might change anytime.

…

In the rehearsal room.

Xin Yue's face was covered with a veil as she stood there waiting for Lei Junmo. Her head was lowered and thus she did not know that Lei Junshan had appeared before her to rehearse his own engagement dance.

"Bride and groom, please take your positions! The groom has to lift up the bride's veil first and then the performance will start," Yang Yixin instructed Lei Junshan and Xin Yue who was standing in place of Huang Ling.

As they heard the instructions of Yang Yixin, the background dancers took their positions and Lei Junshan walked towards Xin Yue and gently lifted up the veil on her face. Xin Yue instinctively looked up to see Lei Junshan standing in front of her. A shock appeared on both of their faces as they stared at each other. All the incidents that had happened between them flashed across their eyes.

"Surprise!" Huang Ling's voice interrupted Lei Junshan and Xin Yue's thoughts. 

Both of them looked at Huang Ling and Huang Ling also stared back at them in confusion. She did not understand what was going on.

Lei Junmo glanced at Huang Ling and giggled to himself, "Surprise to you too, Huang Ling."

Lei Junmo was happy to see Lei Junshan rehearsing with Xin Yue, however the other people in the Lei family were not. Yi Chunhua, who had witnessed everything, came back to her senses on hearing Huang Ling's voice.

When Yi Chunhua saw a girl dressed in cheap clothes appear as a stand-in for her daughter-in-law, she instantly showed her displeasure, "How did this ragamuffin appear in place of my high-standard daughter-in-law?"

Xin Yue lowered her head and did not reply to Yi Chunhua's offensive words. Lei Junmo also frowned at his aunt's words.

Huang Ling gazed at Xin Yue carefully before she asked, "You are the caterer, right? The one we had hired at our farmhouse?"

Before Xin Yue could say anything, Yi Chunhua's face scrunched up in disdain, "Caterer? How can a caterer replace my daughter-in-law even for a rehearsal?"

She then said to Xin Yue, "How dare you replace in daughter-in-law? Will you leave by yourself or should I call the security?"

Xin Yue took a last glance at Lei Junshan before she took off the veil and walked towards the door silently. She knew that she should not have entered this house. She knew how obnoxious rich people could be. If not for Lei Wan, she would have never even come to this house. 

Seeing Xin Yue under the veil filled Lei Junshan's heart with anger. 

"Brother," Lei Wan called out timidly, "She is my very close friend."

"Lei Wan," Lei Junshan said, "Be it friendship or enmity, you should do it only with the people of your status. There is a reason that garbage is collected in a dump yard. Because it belongs there. You do not turn your house into a dump yard to collect the garbage."

Xin Yue heard Lei Junshan's words and hurried out of the Lei mansion in tears.

…

Meanwhile, Lei Junshan furiously rushed over to his own room. Huang Ling followed him and tried to appease his anger, "Baby, please don't be upset. Whatever that girl did, it is her bad karma. Universe will definitely punish her. You should not be upset over this matter."

"I am not," Lei Junshan roared at Huang Ling startling her, "Why would I be upset over her? That girl does not matter to me. I am worried about Lei Wan. She needs to understand that lineage and class matters. You cannot bring anyone in your house."

Huang Ling said timidly, "I know, Xiao Wan and Lei Junmo have disappointed you today."

"Junmo?" Lei Junshan asked, "What did Junmo do?"
