On the eve of the engagement banquet, Song Qiao caught her fiancé cheating with another woman in their wedding room. In the heavy rain, she rushed into a bar to get drunk and accidentally bumped i...
Chapter 57 Song Qiao Refuses the Proposal!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Xie Yanli, including Bai Shuyu and Song Zhiming.
The two of them still haven't figured out when Song Qiao and him got involved, and whether Xie Yanli's proposal was sincere or just to help Song Qiao save face.
Song Qiao's eyes unconsciously turned to Xie Yanli. She tightened her fingers hanging by her side, not knowing what he would say.
Xie Yanli looked straight into Song Qiao's eyes and said very seriously: "Marrying her is not a spur of the moment decision. I have already made preparations. As long as Song Qiao is willing, I can do it anytime!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Song Qiao, waiting to hear her answer.
Song Qiao's originally calm eyes were now filled with surprise. When Xie Yanli said this, her mind kept recalling the scenes of the two of them confronting each other in the past.
She could never have imagined that her former mortal enemy not only proposed to her, but also said such touching words.
She looked at Xie Yanli. The expression on his face didn't seem fake. She frowned. Did he really like her?
She was shocked when this bold idea came into her mind, but she immediately rejected this guess. How could Xie Yanli like her?
But if he says he doesn't like it, then what is he doing?
All kinds of emotions were intertwined in her heart, and she stood there, not knowing what to say.
In the end, it was Bai Shuyu who smoothed things over to the guests: "If there is good news in the future, we will share it with you as soon as possible. The food is getting cold, please sit down and eat."
Although the guests were in high spirits, the host had spoken, and they would be ignorant of their duties if they continued to ask questions. Besides, what kind of family is the Xie family? Even if Xie Yanli wants to marry Song Qiao, the Xie family may not agree. Bai Shuyu probably said this to find a way out for his daughter.
They were tired after watching the farce for a long time, so they sat down and started to eat. After the meal, everyone exchanged some greetings and left tactfully.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to stay, but was dragged away by Shen Huaichuan and Shen Yao. At this moment, only Song Qiao's family and Xie Yanli were left in the banquet hall.
Bai Shuyu looked at Xie Yanli and asked straight to the point: "Yanli, is the baby in Qiaoqiao's belly yours? What's going on between you two? Why have I never heard Qiaoqiao talk about you?"
Never mentioned it?
The expression on Xie Yanli's face froze for a moment, and an unspeakable loneliness flashed in his eyes, but he has always been emotionally stable, and his face quickly regained its composure.
Of course Song Qiao knew that the baby in her belly was not Xie Yanli's, but at this moment her eyes unconsciously looked at Xie Yanli. She bit her lip and wanted to hear what Xie Yanli would say next.
Xie Yanli stood straight, he looked at Bai Shuyu and replied without hesitation: "Aunt Bai, the baby in Song Qiao's belly is indeed mine. I am serious about Song Qiao, and what I said just now is also true. As long as Song Qiao nods, I will come to propose marriage to her immediately."
Song Qiao pursed her lips without saying anything. She held her breath and wanted to see what Xie Yanli would say next.
Before Bai Shuyu could speak, Song Zhiming interrupted with a serious expression, "Although our family is not as rich as your Xie family, we have never thought of climbing up the Xie family ladder. We just hope that Qiao Qiao can live a life as she pleases in the future. Even if the baby in her belly is yours, you and Qiao Qiao are not a good match. I don't agree with your marriage."
Xie Yanli had long anticipated that Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu would object. After all, they both knew their family affairs very well. The Xie family was too complicated, so it was understandable that they did not want Song Qiao to marry in.
But how could he give up? He still had a decent smile on his lips, and replied very confidently: "Uncle, aunt, you all know about my parents, so I understand and understand your concerns. But at that time I was still young and powerless to change anything. But now I have already established a firm foothold in the family. I have the ability to protect Song Qiao and will never let her suffer any grievances. In addition, after we get married, she and I will move out of the old house and stay away from those disturbances."
Xie Yanli paused, and added with a serious face: "Uncle, aunt, I understand that marriage is not a simple promise, but a heavy responsibility. I can promise you that no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by Song Qiao and stand by her through thick and thin. In the future, I will respect her ideas, support her every decision, love her wholeheartedly, and will never change my mind."
Xie Yanli's attitude was sincere and firm, with an unquestionable determination.
Bai Shuyu and Song Zhiming looked at each other with complicated expressions. They both watched Xie Yanli grow up, and they knew that he was a rare good boy.
Ever since Li Lan left, they have always felt sorry for him. If it weren't for Xie Changfeng, they would definitely have interacted with him.
But the Xie family is huge and powerful, and Xie Yanli is the future heir. He will face too many temptations in the future. Even if he promises to love Song Qiao now, what about in the future?
Xie Yanli understood their concerns, and he immediately added: "Uncle and aunt, after Song Qiao and I get married, I am willing to transfer all the property under my name to her. I know you are not short of money, and I just want you to see my sincerity towards Song Qiao."
The Xie family is the richest family in Beijing and has huge assets. Xie Yanli is actually willing to hand over all the property under his name to Song Qiao. Bai Shuyu is indeed moved by his words. What she valued was not Xie Yanli's money, but Xie Yanli's attention to Song Qiao.
Song Qiao was also stunned when she heard this. She couldn't guess what Xie Yanli was up to.
Bai Shuyu thought for a long time, then looked at Xie Yanli and asked sharply, "Xie Yanli, are you sincere about what you said?"
"Auntie, I promise you, I will do what I say."
Song Zhiming frowned when Bai Shuyu wanted to do this, and then he spoke very solemnly: "We in the Song family marry our daughters, not sell them. Even if you really want to give it to us, we won't take it. Yanli, if you really want to marry Qiao Qiao, I only have a few requirements for you, that is, you must treat her well, no domestic violence, no cheating, and your father and stepmother, you must never let her suffer any grievances."
Xie Yanli nodded resolutely, and then said expectantly: "Then uncle and aunt, have you two agreed to let Song Qiao marry me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu exchanged glances again. They approved of Xie Yanli. Since Song Qiao had just agreed to his proposal and the child in her belly was Xie Yanli's, they naturally agreed.
Bai Shuyu smiled at him and said, "We agree that you two can get married."
Seeing that Bai Shuyu and Song Zhiming had agreed to the marriage, Song Qiao, a bystander, became anxious and blurted out, "Mom and Dad, this is my own marriage, you don't have the final say, I don't agree to marry Xie Yanli."
