Chapter 1113: Chapter 1114: Trust Aunt, and Trust Him
Raising her hand, she downed the champagne in her glass, then reached for a glass of fine wine on the table.
"Shanshan?"
Just when her heart was engulfed by pain and torment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded not far in front of her.
The alcohol stirred her emotions, and the pain hidden beneath the surface finally spread through her eyes with tears.
Looking up, Xia Ximeng’s gentle, familiar face entered her line of sight.
She sniffed, forcibly holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Then she set down the wine glass, stood up, and looked at Xia Ximeng approaching her.
"Auntie."
Seeing Huo Yishan suddenly appear here, Xia Ximeng was very surprised and shocked, but mostly worried!
She hadn’t wanted Yishan to see today’s engagement party, but why was she here?
Looking around the expansive banquet hall, Xia Ximeng quickly walked over and pulled Huo Yishan to an inconspicuous spot, looking at her with worry and concern, "Shanshan, why are you here?"
As she stared at Xia Ximeng, Huo Yishan felt the pain intensify in her chest.
"Auntie, tell me, is this engagement party for Li Yuan and Ruan Qiuting?"
Xia Ximeng froze, unsure how to respond.
The engagement party was real, but she didn’t know her son’s thoughts. After all, he had already gotten a marriage license with Yishan, so logically, he shouldn’t be getting engaged to Ruan Qiuting.
But the marriage was arranged by his grandmother and father, so it couldn’t be changed.
Yet she knew her son had insisted on no media involvement to prevent Yishan from being saddened, so he must have his own plan, perhaps one that temporarily requires Yishan to endure some heartache.
Despite this being Xia Ximeng’s speculation, she least wanted Huo Yishan to feel sad and hurt.
"Shanshan, you have to trust Yuanyuan. Since he chose to marry you the day before the engagement, he must have a plan." She held her hand, eagerly trying to soothe her, wanting to explain on behalf of her son.
But not knowing the reason herself, she didn’t know how to make Huo Yishan feel better.
However, to Huo Yishan, any explanation seemed merely a forced excuse.
For the first time, she gently withdrew her hand from Xia Ximeng’s grip, tears stubbornly pooling in her eyes.
"Auntie, if it were you, could you bear that the person who married you yesterday is now getting engaged to another woman?"
One sentence left Xia Ximeng speechless.
Indeed, no woman could endure such a thing.
But Li Yuan was her son, and she believed he’d never abandon Yishan.
She didn’t know how to comfort Huo Yishan, but she had faith in her son.
"Shanshan, I don’t know how to answer your question, but I believe that Yuanyuan won’t let you down. Please trust me and trust him, is that okay?"
To Huo Yishan, these words seemed so weak and powerless, tears uncontrollably fell from her eyes.
"I have always trusted him."
Hearing her say this, Xia Ximeng felt relieved.
But then Huo Yishan continued, "But my heart hurts so much, here... it’s very painful."
Physical pain, and heartache.
Even now, the soreness from their entanglement last night lingered in her body, torturing her, reminding her that the person who was intimate with her last night was now going to place an engagement ring on another woman and enter the wedding hall.
