Mr. Meng put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat and said, "Let's take this opportunity tonight to talk about Sangsang and Qin Xuan's marriage. The two families have been discussing the marriage for a long time, and it should be settled today. We also need to find time to host a banquet for the guests."

Old Qin chimed in, "Yes, yes, we invited my old classmate and Quan Ye here today to be our family's witnesses, so that they can live happily and harmoniously together."

Qin Xuan frowned slightly but did not speak.

Mr. Meng stood up, took out a sheet of paper filled with plans, and said solemnly, "Then let me briefly explain the specifics of the two children's marriage. Sangsang is my precious daughter, and I will definitely take her marriage seriously..."

He had only spoken halfway through his sentence when his phone rang.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Meng's father glanced at his phone, then got up and walked away.

Meng Sangsang watched his hurried figure, pursed her lips, and poked at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

After a while, Meng's father returned, put his phone on the table, and said, "Excuse me, I'll continue now."

"My plan is to have the two children hold an engagement party and invite friends, relatives, and business partners from both sides to witness it..."

The phone rang again.

Meng's mother leaned over to look at the phone, but it was quickly taken away by Meng's father, who went to answer another call.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Old Tang spoke up to ease the awkwardness, "Our Chairman Meng is a very busy man. We can eat while we wait. Come on, let's eat."

Quan Ye took a small bowl, put a chicken leg on Su Li's plate, and then placed it on the turntable for her.

Su Li took it and began to eat it with relish.

Qin Xuan ate a few bites of rice casually, while glancing worriedly at Meng Sangsang across from him.

Meng's mother leaned closer to her daughter and asked, "Sangsang, a phone number with the name 'Qin' in it just called your father. I've seen it several times recently. Your father must be quite busy lately."

Upon hearing this, Meng Sangsang paused, her hand holding the chopsticks still, and her eyes instantly turned cold.

Mencius' mother continued, "Your father is already very busy with work. Don't keep losing your temper with him lately. Speak to him nicely, okay?"

"Mom, do you know what he's done? Stop defending him!"

Meng Sangsang got angry and said sternly.

Everyone else heard it too and turned to look.

Su Li gently nudged her leg under the table, reminding her to be mindful of the occasion.

At this moment, Meng's father returned, but he hurriedly grabbed his coat and said, "Excuse me, everyone, I have something urgent to attend to and I have to leave first. I'll treat you all to dinner another day."

Everyone was stunned.

Meng Sangsang stood up from her chair and loudly questioned, "Are you busy at the company, or do you have some other reason for leaving?"

Mr. Meng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly put on a stern face. “Sangsang, don’t throw a tantrum here. Dad has something urgent to attend to. You and your aunt and uncle should eat first.”

"Didn't you say my wedding was the most important thing today? What do you mean by running away halfway through?"

These words made Meng's father lose face, leaving him speechless with embarrassment.

Qin's mother said, "Sangsang, if your father is busy, then he should go ahead and do his work. We'll have plenty of time to get together in the future."

Meng Sangsang gave a faint smile, her tone cold, "Everyone, there's no need to say anything more. Qin Xuan and I will get our marriage certificate tomorrow and have our wedding the day after. This dinner can end here today."

She turned to her father and said, "You can do whatever you want now. You don't need to worry about my affairs anymore!"

After saying that, she picked up her bag, turned around, and left.

The people at the table looked at each other, puzzled.

Su Li quickly got up and chased after her.

Mencius' mother looked at Mencius' father and complained, "You really are something. Today is such an important occasion. Couldn't you have waited until after dinner to leave if you had something urgent to do? Your daughter is angry."
