Chapter 701 Engagement Ceremony 4
Lu Yunque spoke in an unquestionable tone, and the man's expression was a little ugly, but Lu Yunque, Sheng Hao and others were all looking at him. Even if he had any dissatisfaction in his heart, he didn't dare to show it openly.
If he could have made an appointment through normal channels, he wouldn't have come forward to talk at this time.
But now Lu Yunque obviously didn't want to discuss business at his engagement ceremony. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, the man finally compromised.
"Okay, sorry to bother you, Mr. Lu."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yunque unwillingly, and seeing no reaction on his face, he finally turned around and left.
In front of Lu Yunque, he couldn't muster up any courage.
After the man left, Lu Yunque felt the phone in his pocket vibrate several times. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Ms. Huo.
Although today is just an engagement ceremony, the necessary ceremony still has to take place.
"Ms. Huo is urging us to go."
Lu Yunque took Yun Zijin's hand and stood up. Yun Zijin let Lu Yunque hold her hand and walk towards the small stage temporarily built in the hall.
Sheng Hao and the others looked at each other, then Feng stood up and followed Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque forward.
Today was a rare opportunity for them to openly watch gossip about Lu Yunque, so of course a group of people wanted to observe him up close.
And during this process, these people will also use equipment to shoot high-definition videos.
Just as the group was walking towards the small stage, the host re-selected by Ms. Xu Suhua and Ms. Huo Yuelan came on stage.
"Hello! Good evening everyone, I am the host of today's engagement ceremony for Ms. Yun Zijin and Mr. Lu Yunque. You can call me Xiao Chen!
First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend today's engagement party.
Now, please invite the parents of both parties attending our engagement party to come up to the stage! Please welcome them with applause!"
Under the stage, Huo Yuelan patted Liao Zhuxiu's hand and pulled her up on stage with them.
"Then we would like to invite all parents to say a few words to express their blessings to the two newlyweds today."
When the host saw the person coming on stage, the expression on his face and the tone of his voice without saying a word were obviously much more excited.
After all, Lu Weimin was the commander-in-chief of the military before he retired. Even after so many years of retirement, his position is still very important.
So far, Lu Weimin has rarely appeared in public. Unexpectedly, they would be able to see this big shot in person at the engagement ceremony today.
This also indirectly shows that the Lu family is very satisfied with Yun Zijin, their granddaughter-in-law.
Lu Weimin was the first to speak. Although he was not young, his posture was still as straight as a pine tree, and his words were sonorous and powerful: "Hello everyone, I am Lu Weimin, and I am also the grandfather of Lu Yunque, the protagonist of today's engagement banquet.
In a word: The Lu family's ancestral precept is that there is only widowhood but no divorce. If you dare to treat your grandson's wife badly, you will be punished by the family law! "
After saying that, Lu Weimin handed the microphone directly to Xu Suhua beside him.
Yun Zijin stood beside Lu Yunque and gave him a smug look: "Listen, if you dare to bully me in the future, I will complain to Grandpa Lu."
Lu Yunque was helpless. Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, his status in the family had become lower and lower.
Each of them was someone he couldn't afford to offend. Xu Suhua and Lu Xianzhang gave speeches one after another. Besides their blessings, they also expressed their preference for Yun Zijin. The people below had different expressions.
However, it was obvious that they had not expected that Yun Zijin was so highly regarded in the Lu family. Although he was Lu Yunque's elder, they all expressed their strong preference for Yun Zijin in public.
When it was Huo Yuelan's turn, she took Liao Zhuxiu's hand and they walked forward together.
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Yunque's mother, and will be Zijin's mother in the future. I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time!
Sister Zhuxiu, thank you, otherwise I would be afraid that my son would end up alone!"
Liao Zhuxiu had been holding Huo Yuelan's hand, and her ears turned red when she heard what she said.
If we have to express our gratitude, we should thank the late director of the Central Orphanage.
If the late director had not found Yun Zijin at the orphanage door that year, she might have died that night.
It was a very cold day at that time, and a newborn baby, even if wrapped in swaddling clothes, could not stand being exposed to the wind all night.
"Zijin is a very hardworking, excellent, filial and grateful child.
If I have to thank someone, I think I should thank the director who brought Zijin back from the orphanage.
I took over as Dean a hundred years after the last Dean. I think if she knew that Zijin was doing well now, she would be very happy too."
Yun Zijin, who was in the audience, suddenly had tears in her eyes when she heard Liao Zhuxiu mention the late director's mother.
Speaking of the dean's mother, she is not without regrets.
The saying "A son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there" probably refers to her and the dean's mother.
Lu Yunque noticed that something was wrong with Yun Zijin and squeezed her hand: "Don't be unhappy, I heard that people will turn into stars after they die, and will always guard the people they want to protect.
If the dean's mother were still alive, she certainly wouldn't want you to be sad because of her departure."
After saying that, Lu Yunque pulled the person into his arms and patted Yun Zijin's back soothingly.
After Liao Zhuxiu finished speaking, Huo Yuelan's eyes were already filled with tears, but in order to maintain the most perfect image, she held back and did not let them fall.
Seeing that the two elders were in a bad mood, Pan Xiaoqiao quickly took the microphone from Liao Zhuxiu's hand: "Ahem! As the sister who watched Zijin grow up, even though I am only five years older than her."
As soon as Pan Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the tense atmosphere relaxed instantly, and many of the guests below burst into laughter.
"I wish Zijin and her future brother-in-law a long and happy marriage and a son soon!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you've said so much, what should we do?"
Seeing that Pan Xiaoqiao was trying to adjust the atmosphere, Xu Hui cooperated and walked forward and snatched the microphone from Pan Xiaoqiao's hand.
Pan Xiaoqiao also glared at him in agreement: "I'm talking about my own affairs and you have nothing to say. What's it got to do with me?"
"Hahaha……"
When the guests below heard laughter, the two knew that the atmosphere was set.
"It seems like you two grew up together, and you're so rude when you insult each other!"
Host, please speak up at the right time to coordinate with the performance of the two people.
"It's okay, it's okay. As the eldest brother, I watched them both grow up."
Xu Hui waved his hand, very rudely showing his absolute status as the eldest brother.
"Boss Lu, you have to call me Big Brother after today. There aren't many people in the entire Imperial Capital who can get the famous Boss Lu to call me Big Brother!"
Many people turned their eyes to Lu Yunzhou.
This is a legitimate blood relative and an elder brother with the same father and mother.
Xu Hui: ...
For a moment, it seemed like I had my own house in the capital (I awkwardly dug out 3 bedrooms and 1 living room with my toes).
