Chapter 74
In the blink of an eye it was Sunday.
The engagement banquet of Mo Xuanqi and Luo Yanchuan was arranged at the largest central hotel in the Imperial Capital. I heard that the pomp and posture were considered to be the largest in the Imperial Capital in the past two years.
When Shi Yunnan arrived at the door of the hotel, he felt that the rumors were not false.
From the entrance of the hotel, there is a blue-colored setting. Nearly 10,000 blue enchantresses form a flower route up the spiral staircase, leading the guests all the way to the main engagement hall on the third floor.
Not only that, there is a lamp filled with diamonds every three meters away. The light waves combined with light and diamonds are reflected in a dazzling and dazzling splendor, which is even more dreamy.
“These two strong alliances cost tens of millions of dollars for this engagement banquet, right?” Shi Yunnan took the initiative to push Luo Lingsheng’s wheelchair to the elevator next to him.
Qin Jian and Yuan Meng followed behind them and stepped into the elevator together.
Qin Jian pressed down the elevator floor and answered Shi Yunnan’s question just now, “I heard that the second room spent a full 30 million for this engagement banquet. On the other hand, the Mo and Fang families who married their daughters didn’t pay a cent.”
“Tsk tsk, an engagement banquet costs so much, it seems that the second room of the Luo family has paid for it this time?” Shi Yunnan looked at Luo Lingsheng and smiled subtly.
Luo Lingsheng’s fingers rubbed slightly, with a clear look in his eyes, “I can’t bear that the child can’t catch a wolf.”
A simple common saying digs out the true intentions of Luo’s second room.
Mo Bai’an and Fang Ya only have a daughter like Mo Xuanqi, and both of them are successful entrepreneurs. Naturally, they have strong assets hidden under them.
To be more realistic, as long as Luo Yanchuan became the son-in-law of Mo and Fang, and managed to get hold of Mo Xuanqi, his fiancée, it would be more than the mere 30 million who could get it back in the future.
The elevator door opened in response, and the noise came immediately.
Shi Yunnan pushed Luo Lingsheng out of the elevator, and then went around to the front of his lover, bending over to arrange the other party’s tie and royal blue cufflinks, “Let’s just watch a good show today.”
The two looked at each other.
Luo Lingsheng chuckled and lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched Shi Yunan’s cool fingertips, “When I go to a foreign country for rehabilitation in two days, don’t follow me out.”
“Ok?”
“If you don’t have a design job and you’re bored at home…” Luo Lingsheng paused and stared at him affectionately, “You can think about how our future weddings will be arranged.”
Shi Yunnan’s eyes widened involuntarily, and then he smiled, “Are you serious?”
“Of course.”
Shi Yunnan snorted twice, teasing, “Then the Luo family must be ready to spend money like flowing water.”
Luo Lingsheng controlled the wheelchair and approached the door of the main banquet hall side by side with him, “Okay, you can spend the entire Luo family’s assets.”
As soon as the two entered the banquet hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many guests——
“Today’s engagement banquet is incredible, even Luo Lingsheng, the big Buddha, can be invited.”
“You don’t even think about it. Anyway, it’s all the same surname. After all, the bones are broken and the tendons are still attached. If this is five or six years ago, when Mr. Luo was still alive, wouldn’t the second and fourth rooms be the same family?”
“Externally, Luo Lingsheng is the head of the Luo family. Internally, Luo Lingsheng is Luo Yanchuan’s cousin in terms of seniority. Why should he come here?”
“I really didn’t expect it. I thought that the marriage relationship between Shi Yunnan and the Luo family head was a rumor. I didn’t expect that after so long, the two could still be together?”
“By the way, I suddenly remembered, wasn’t it rumored that Shi Yunnan and Luo Yanchuan were getting engaged?”
“Forget about the past.”
While everyone was chatting, Mo Bai’an and Fang Ya and his wife came to greet them hand in hand.
“Mr. Shi, Mr. Luo, Mr. Luo, thank you two for coming to my daughter’s engagement party.”
Shi Yunan smiled calmly, “I received an invitation from Ms. Fang, why can’t I come? It’s just that I brought four people with this invitation. I also ask Ms. Fang and Mr. Mo not to mind.”
“of course not.”
As soon as the words fell, Luo Dexing hurried over with his wife.
Luo Dexing looked at Luo Lingsheng’s eyes hidden under the lens, and felt a sudden urgency, “Home, homeowner, why didn’t you let me know in advance? We can go downstairs to meet him in person.”
Even if he was two rounds louder than Luo Lingsheng, he was still the ‘cousin’ in name.
However, Luo Lingsheng’s methods against the Dafang and Sanfang in those days were too tough and merciless, so to this day he still has lingering fears, and he only dares to call himself “the head of the family” like outsiders.
Shi Yunnan took a half step back silently, letting Luo Lingsheng hold the second room of the Luo family.
In the next second, Luo Lingsheng said indifferently, “Cousin, you’re welcome.”
The word ‘cousin’ didn’t make any sense of intimacy, as if it was an invisible warning.
Luo Dexing and his wife glanced at each other, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously.
Others are afraid of Luo Lingsheng, but they are afraid from the heart of Luo Dexing and his wife, who witnessed the ‘destroy’ of the big house back then and went to prison.
In less than a five-second pause, the Luo Dexing couple seemed to have spent a century long.
“Today is the engagement banquet of Yanchuan and Miss Mo. Yunnan and I are just here to send blessings to witness.” Luo Lingsheng’s pressure hidden in his voice suddenly disappeared.
No matter what the outcome of this engagement banquet will be, it is a happy event in the eyes of everyone.
Luo Lingsheng didn’t like the worldly world, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t understand and showed a rare friendly side.
Shi Yunnan responded with a smile, “Yes, Ms. Fang, let’s just find a seat and sit down. You can take it easy.”
Fang Ya glanced at her husband, smiled and nodded calmly.
They haven’t done anything wrong, so naturally they’re not afraid of Luo Lingsheng, the ‘big Buddha’. What’s more, the visitors are all guests, and it is a good thing to have more than one person give their daughter the blessing of engagement.
Shi Yunnan found the location of his friend Yuan Rui, and said to Luo Lingsheng, “Shall we sit with Yuan Rui?”
“good.”
After Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan left.
Luo Dexing breathed a sigh of relief without a trace. He rubbed his hands against each other a few times, trying to wipe the sweat from his palms.
Fang Ya asked, “Mr. Luo, Mrs. Luo, are you all right?”
Luo Dexing steadied himself, “It’s okay.”
“This auspicious engagement day is about to start. We are almost seated, right?”
“good.”
Fang Ya nodded to the two future in-laws, and took her husband’s hand back to the front.
When Mrs. Luo saw the two in-laws leave, panic appeared in her eyes, “Old Xing, why did Luo Lingsheng come here? Didn’t Yanchuan say he went abroad for surgery again?”
“You ask me, who do I ask?” Luo Dexing sweated again, “Okay, come here, who dares to invite him out?”
All he wants now is that Luo Lingsheng and Shi Yunnan are really just here to attend the engagement banquet to send their blessings.
Mrs. Luo covered her heart, “Today, my heart is always restless, and I always feel that something is going to happen.”
“Yanchuan has been messing around for so many years, and finally found a girl from a good family like Xuanqi, and finally settled down, but don’t really have any accidents.”
“Okay, stop talking about it.”
Luo Dexing interrupted his wife’s chatter, “The engagement banquet is about to start, let’s go and take a seat, if anyone dares to make trouble at this wedding, I, I will fight with him!”
The engagement banquet cost their family 30 million yuan, and they deliberately refused Mo and Fang to spend money.
You know, Luo Dexing disagreed at first, but Luo Yanchuan discussed with him privately—
Their family must use their engagement to hold Mo Xuanqi’s heart tightly, and holding her is equivalent to holding the assets of the Fang and Mo families, and it is also equivalent to holding the future.
“We were a little bit useless back then. We just hope that this engagement banquet will give Yanchuan a firm foothold in the imperial capital circle, so that he can…” So that he can have more capital to fight against Luo Lingsheng in the future.
Luo Dexing looked at Luo Lingsheng not far away, and buried the rest of the words in his stomach.
…
At a guest table closest to the main stage of the engagement, Yuan Rui offered two glasses of champagne for Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng, “I thought you weren’t coming?”
Shi Yunnan took a sip of his wine, “What are you doing here so early? Why don’t you just wait like you did.”
Yuan Rui snorted angrily, and before he could refute, there was a sound from the opposite side, “Yo, we meet again.”
Shi Yunnan and the others who were sitting next to each other raised their eyes and accidentally bumped into two figures—
Gu Jue and Xie Keyue walked over side by side and stopped at the vacant seat opposite their round table.
“Come on, Ke Yue, sit here.”
When Xie Keyue saw the familiar face on the opposite side, he instantly felt the desire to escape, as long as he met Shi Yunnan, it would be a bad end!
Before Xie Keyue made a choice, Gu Jue sat down with his shoulders affectionately.
Xie Ke was helpless, “…”
Gu Jue’s playful eyes glanced at Yuan Rui and Shi Yunnan, “What? I haven’t seen each other for a few months and don’t know each other?”
It was not until he met Luo Lingsheng’s heavy gaze that he had no choice but to restrain himself.
In order to hide the embarrassment that he was shocked by Luo Lingsheng’s sight, Gu Jue put his hand on the back of the table behind Xie Keyue, and encircled Xie Keyue in his own territory in a semi-circling posture.
This situation is enough to verify that the relationship between the two of them is not simple.
Yuan Rui’s face changed, and he couldn’t help but leaned in and whispered to Shi Yunnan, “Damn it, who doesn’t know that Gu Jue can eat both men and women, and there is no shape? Xie Keyue actually has this kind of relationship with this kind of person, I… …”
Yuan Rui hesitated.
Now facing Xie Keyue, he felt that he had been blinded severely.
Shi Yunnan laughed and had to admire Xie Keyue’s ability and means.
Even if this person is kicked out of the Shi family by Shi Sheng, he can quickly find a new backer.
“We just didn’t expect that President Gu and Lingyu are both on the blacklist of Fang’s auction, so they can still participate in this engagement banquet?”
Shi Yunnan retorted, and his playful gaze fell on the two of them like a recipe, “President Gu, is this a lover? Or a boyfriend?”
“…”
Gu Jue and Xie Keyue changed their expressions at the same time.
Xie Keyue’s hand hidden under the table involuntarily clenched into a fist, and the sound of breathing trembled.
I don’t know since when, he has hated Shi Yunnan to the core!
Gu Jue replied with a smirk, “Don’t bother Mr. Rausch, if you can get the invitation, we can get it too.”
The loss of 10 million yuan last time, Gu Jue’s teeth itch with hatred now that he thinks about it, so he can’t see Shi Yunnan’s appearance even more.
Speaking of which, Gu Jue met Luo Yanchuan at a cocktail party a while ago. The two of them talked very happily, and then they reached a preliminary cooperation intention——
They want to take this opportunity to let Lingyu Design and Fang reach a partnership and completely replace the studios of Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui.
After all, in Luo Yanchuan’s words, he can use Mo Xuanqi’s mouth to persuade Fang Ya, who loves his daughter as his life, to let Fang’s auction house give up Shi Yunnan and Yuan Rui’s studios, and instead reach a cooperation with them Lingyu.
During this period of time, Lingyu relied on the small operation of mixing the real and the fake at the Zeguang auction, and finally recovered the company’s working capital, and will be able to make better and more decent design works in the future.
As long as he can reach a cooperation with Fang, he and Luo Yanchuan can also share the subsequent profits privately.
Gu Jue thought of this and said confidently, “I am more familiar with this newcomer than you have with Ms. Fang.”
Yuan Rui lowered his voice disdainfully, “Cut, pretend, be careful and be like last time at the auction, it turns out to be a good show, making others laugh!”
Shi Yunnan remembered Mo Xuanqi’s announcement two days ago and couldn’t help but smile.
He ignored Gu Jue’s self-righteous demonstration and whispered to Luo Lingsheng beside him, “It seems that there is indeed a good show to watch today.”
Luo Lingsheng raised his glass and touched his lover, ignoring the two idlers on the opposite side.
Just in time, the lights and music have changed.
The host of the engagement ceremony came up, and after a skillful opening, Luo Yanchuan, one of the protagonists, appeared in everyone’s field of vision.
Luo Yanchuan wore a dark blue suit today, and he looked particularly handsome and charming under the spotlight.
Many daughters at the scene, including Wen Wanyou, looked straight, and they were sour and envious of the other protagonist, Mo Xuanqi——
They only learned today that the financial resources of the Luo family’s second house, which is a side branch of the Luo family, are also not to be underestimated. This engagement banquet scene is so luxurious and dreamy, and Luo Yanchuan is so handsome and charming!
Hearing the exclamations from the surroundings, Shi Yunnan didn’t even look at the stage. His hand hidden under the table was playing with the couple watch on Luo Lingsheng’s wrist, “…My husband is still handsome.”
Luo Yanchuan, as the ‘world protagonist’, does have some beauty and capital, but it is completely different from Luo Lingsheng.
If you want him to say, Luo Lingsheng’s appearance configuration should be the protagonist.
Luo Lingsheng heard Shi Yunnan muttering in a low voice, and closed his lover’s palm with a smile.
The two interlock their fingers, tacit understanding and skillful.
Yuan Rui, who was sitting on the same side, couldn’t stand this dog food anymore. “Two tyrants, I said you almost got it. Bullying me, a single dog, is unlovable.”
Shi Yunnan deliberately shook his interlocked hands in front of Yuan Rui, and answered irrelevantly, “Is your father getting more and more proficient at barking?”
“roll.”
Yuan Rui smiled and dismissed.
Xie Keyue, who was sitting opposite, saw the interaction of the three of them, and Luo Yanchuan wearing a formal suit on the stage, and his inner unwillingness came out one after another.
It’s just that at the moment he has to choose to endure for a while, and one day, he will get back what belongs to him!
Gu Jue beside him noticed Xie Keyue’s passing emotion, “What’s wrong?”
Xie Keyue shook his head and smiled cleanly, “It’s okay.”
The relationship between the two is indeed a ‘friend’, but in this relationship, he still lives with a mask – Gu Jue just eats his ‘clean’ set.
The host on the stage began to enter the next process.
“Next, let’s invite today’s most beautiful protagonist – Miss Mo Xuanqimo!”
Fang Ya, who was sitting in the front, heard this, and immediately looked at the main entrance where Mo Xuanqi would enter, her inner anticipation and reluctance intertwined.
In the beginning, Luo Yanchuan rescued Mo Xuanqi, who was harassed by hooligans outside. Later, the two developed a romantic relationship.
More than a month ago, Luo Yanchuan took the initiative to propose marriage, but Mo Xuanqi, who was carried away by love, agreed without thinking.
Fang Ya originally disagreed with Mo Xuanqi’s engagement so soon, but she couldn’t hold back her daughter’s love pleading, so she reluctantly agreed.
Fortunately, Luo Yanchuan really loved his daughter in every possible way, and the second room of the Luo family was willing to spend money on this engagement banquet to prove their sincerity.
That being the case, Fang Ya could only agree.
As long as Luo Yanchuan is willing to be nice to Mo Xuanqi, she and her husband are also willing to hand over the assets in their hands to their young couple in the future.
The music to welcome Mo Xuanqi came on and off, but the door was still empty.
Just when Fang Ya felt something was wrong, Mo Xuanqi’s friend suddenly ran in, “It’s not good! Qiqi is gone!”
As soon as this exclamation came out, it instantly caused a commotion.
Shi Yunnan and Luo Lingsheng glanced at each other, obviously not expecting such a good start of the engagement banquet.
Mo Bai’an and Fang Ya stood up immediately, “What?”
Luo Yanchuan, who was standing in the center of the platform, also rushed up to ask, “What is missing?”
“Just after Aunt Fang left, Qiqi said she wanted to take a nap for a while. We saw that there were still ten minutes before the start of the engagement banquet, so we all left the dressing room.”
Unexpectedly, if you go in again, you can’t find anyone.
“I’ve looked everywhere I can, but I haven’t seen Qiqi’s figure, and I haven’t been able to get through to her cell phone.”
Mo Xuanqi’s two friends were about to cry.
Everyone in the banquet hall finally reacted, and began to make one after another suspicious sounds——
What’s going on here?
The engagement banquet just started, but Mo Xuanqi, one of the protagonists, disappeared?
Did he escape the engagement party, or was he kidnapped by accident?
Just as everyone was caught in various speculations, the side door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a voice came, “Guests, I’m sorry, I just changed my clothes, so I’m late.”
The “disappeared” Mo Xuanqi suddenly walked in wearing a comfortable and leisurely outfit. She still had a microphone in her hand, which was now connected to the sound around the banquet hall.
Seeing this, Fang Ya, Luo Yanchuan and others walked to Mo Xuanqi’s side one after another.
Fang Ya’s heart almost went to her throat, and her tears were already rolling, “Qiqi, what’s the matter with you? You don’t wear a veil evening dress, so why did you change into such a dress?”
Mo Xuanqi saw Fang Ya’s tearful eyes, and caught a glimpse of the concern on Mo Bai’an’s face. Unable to bear the complicated feelings, she stretched out her arms and hugged her parents, and apologized in a low voice.
“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, I… I’ve embarrassed you.”
Hearing this soft apology, Luo Yanchuan’s eyes changed, but he had to pretend to be gentle and asked, “Qiqi, are you not feeling well? If there is any discomfort, let’s go to the hospital first, and the engagement banquet can be another day.”
As always, a good boyfriend and even a good husband behave.
Mo Xuanqi’s eyes overflowed with a smile, and she raised her head and approached, “Brother Yanchuan, you spent so much money, and I hired almost all the wealthy families of the Imperial Capital. How can this engagement banquet be another day?”
“…”
Luo Yanchuan felt something was wrong.
It’s just that before he could realize what was wrong with this kind of ‘wrong’, Mo Xuanqi took his arm as before.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the two walked towards the stage again.
Just when she walked to the front row, Mo Xuanqi’s eyes suddenly stopped at the table where Shi Yunnan and the others were, and there was a hint of complexity and determination in her smiling eyes.
Shi Yunnan sat calmly in his seat and shook the glass lightly to greet her.
He was getting more and more curious.
What did Mo Xuanqi discover? Only then will she change her previous ‘love brain’.
Wearing casual clothes at an engagement banquet is a prelude to unwillingness to get engaged.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Xuanqi and Luo Yanchuan were on stage.
Under the former’s eyes, the host had no choice but to close the microphone and exit.
Luo Yanchuan frowned, “Qiqi, what happened to you?”
Mo Xuanqi clenched the microphone in her hand and smiled, “I just think the normal engagement process is too boring, so I want to host it myself.”
She no longer looked at Luo Yanchuan, but continued to speak to the guests at the table under the stage.
“My acquaintance with Luo Yanchuan originated in September last year. At that time, I was playing late at night in a bar with a few friends. After we separated, I planned to go to the parking lot to wait for the driver, but I met a drunk gangster.”
Just like the hero saving beauty in fairy tales, Mo Xuanqi is also very clichéd.
“Later, I took the initiative to stick with him and met several times. In order to get to know him better, I also secretly investigated…”
Mo Xuanqi found out that Luo Yanchuan used to be a **** by others;
She also inquired that Luo Yanchuan had rumored that he was marrying the second young master of the Shi family, but the other party refused to leave without hesitation.
Luo Yanchuan personally told Mo Xuanqi that he was not interested in the same sex, and was more willing to take care of Mo Xuanqi.
“In the process of falling in love, I feel that Luo Yanchuan has satisfied all my longings for the other half.”
“So two months ago, after the unexpected marriage proposal came, I accepted it without hesitation.”
Not only that, but she also anxiously asked the parents of both parties to choose the date of the engagement banquet.
“I really, really want to marry him.”
Speaking of which, Mo Xuanqi still had a smile of sweet memories on her face, which made many guests laugh with happiness.
The unease floating in Luo Yanchuan’s heart gradually dissipated—
That’s right.
The Mo Xuanqi he knew was someone who was willing to depend on him and obey him for love.
Mo Xuanqi looked at Luo Yanchuan again, but her smiling eyes suddenly cooled down, and then the hatred that had been suppressed for a long time overflowed from the depths of her pupils.
Luo Yanchuan was startled.
Then I heard Mo Xuanqi say word by word, “until I saw some videos when I hacked his computer.”
Everyone present felt the change in Mo Xuanqi’s tone, and they extracted key words from it.
video?
what video?
Just when everyone in the audience was puzzled, the large screens on both sides suddenly lit up. Before everyone could react, excessive moaning reverberated in the banquet hall.
On the screen, two naked men lingered together.
One of the protagonists only showed a vague profile, vaguely like Luo Yanchuan on stage.
The other protagonist is not so lucky. The video screen is facing his face occupied by love. It is Xie Keyue sitting at the front table!
Great show, it’s on.
