Lu Shaohan understood. Before he and Qiao Yimo were dragged away, they saw Gu Jingchen wearing a suit and taking Su Ning away with a smile on his face.

As they were being dragged away, they overheard the guests talking and learned that the hosts of the engagement banquet were Gu Jingchen and the eldest daughter of the Xu family.

Gu Jingchen's infatuation with Su Ning is no secret in Nancheng.

So Miss Xu is Su Ning!

Qiao Yimo couldn't bear the blow and cried incessantly in Lu Shaohan's arms. Lu Shaohan had a sullen face and was in a bad mood.

It wasn't just that they were kicked out of the banquet, but also because Lu Cheng and Mu An'an were always seen together.

The two men's antics in the hotel lobby didn't cause much of a commotion; everyone's attention was still on the Xu family.

The engagement banquet was packed with guests, and judging from the scale of the event and the guests invited, the Xu family attached great importance to Xu Ning and Gu Jingchen's engagement banquet.

Some say it's because of Gu Jingchen.

The Gu family is not a major clan in the capital, but their prestige and strength are not to be underestimated. The marriage between the Xu family and the Gu family is a perfect alliance of equals.

Someone mentioned another daughter of the Xu family.

Before Xu Ning appeared, Xu Huanyan was the only daughter of the Xu family. She was beautiful, elegant and gentle, and was the role model for all the daughters of noble families. She was also the object of pursuit for the young masters of aristocratic families. It was even rumored that the Xu family wanted to marry her off to Gu Jingchen.

Previously, Xu Sheng and his wife had taken people to Nancheng to meet the elders of the Gu family.

After all this, it turns out that the one who married Gu Jingchen was Xu Ning, Xu Jiang's illegitimate daughter.

They then looked at Jiang Yun at the banquet, where she was with Xu Huanyan and socializing with the guests. Jiang Yun still maintained the demeanor of the Xu family's wife, smiling as she spoke to the guests.

No one could tell that she actually hated him to the core and was so angry that she had the urge to kill. Only when no one was paying attention would she lower her face and reveal her true expression.

Jiang Yun's warm hospitality led the guests to believe that the previous conflict between the Xu and Jiang families was probably fake, or that they had already reconciled.

However, when the engagement banquet began, none of the Jiang family members showed up.

Whether the Jiang family came or not, Su Ning didn't care. Once on stage, she searched for a long time but couldn't find Su Xincheng.

Su Xincheng didn't reply to her message, so she probably won't come to the capital to attend her engagement banquet with Gu Jingchen.

It's alright, they're just going back to Nancheng to hold a second wedding.

From the start of the engagement, Gu Jingchen was even more nervous than at the wedding in Nancheng, and he lost his engagement ring twice.

Su Ning laughed, her smile deepening as she watched Gu Jingchen carefully and earnestly slip the ring onto her finger.

After many years of ups and downs, they have finally tied the knot. They feel a little sad, but mostly happy.

As Gu Jingchen stood up, his gaze fell on Su Ning's legs. He reached out and touched her hair, then leaned down and kissed her lips.

When happiness was so close to them, it just kept slipping away.

Regardless of what happens in the next surgery, this time, I will stay by her side to the end.

After the engagement ceremony ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Despite the fact that Miss Xu's legs were crippled, no one mocked or ridiculed her at the banquet; instead, they offered their blessings.

"Why didn't you wait for me before you started!"

An old, cold voice came from behind, and the sparse applause stopped instantly. All the guests turned to look behind them and saw the old lady of the Jiang family leading the Jiang family members as they slowly walked over.

The old man did not invite the Jiang family to today's engagement banquet.

However, the arrival of the Jiang family did not surprise them.

"In-laws, what a joyous occasion! Why aren't you inviting the Jiang family?"
