There is no such link at all!
Some people were confused as to why the engagement ceremony had to be held like a wedding ceremony. Gou An actually had the same confusion, but faced with the media's excited and overwhelming live coverage, she somewhat understood He Jinxing's behavior.
Just like he did at the beginning, he wanted to make it known to the whole world.
I was a little apprehensive about the man's attitude in the original novel that "it's just an engagement, it doesn't mean anything". When Gou An put his hand into the other's outstretched palm, I was a little worried whether he was also holding such a heartless thought at this moment...
"Aren't you afraid that they won't have anything to write about when you get married?"
"We can come up with new ideas when the time comes," the man said calmly, "don't worry about this."
——What’s the trick this time? Gou An swallowed his curiosity, because he felt that asking this question would be a sign of success. They had already successfully reached the stage of exchanging rings, so there was really no need to create any more outrageous accidents.
Zhou Yutong, who was drafted as a flower girl over the age limit, couldn't help but speak up to the two people who were whispering, "Stop chatting, where do you get so much to say!"
He Jinxing couldn't help but smile and say "sorry", which had almost become his catchphrase, and he was as insincere as ever.
Gou An shut her mouth with genuine emotion and watched He Jinxing take the ring from Zhou Yutong. The ring box was VE and she was very satisfied.
Without asking questions openly, he would quietly take the initiative to inquire about her affairs. Although she knew that she would only know if she inquired, she still felt a sense of mystery that this man inexplicably knew all her preferences.
Which one of VE's models? The classic first lover or Encounter, or the more difficult Nile that requires a certain level of spending to customize?
The Nile River is great.
The longest river in the world flows from south to north into the Mediterranean Sea. It has existed almost as long as human civilization, as if it represents a long-lasting and eternal love.
So damn romantic, she loves it.
Although the temptation brought by money is very limited to Gou An, it does not prevent her from liking blingbling things at her age. Looking at the small ring box in the man's hand, he deliberately used his fingertips to pry open a gap in the ring box -
When I looked up, I saw the little girl in front of me. She looked like the furry thing named Niffler in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Her eyes were wide open and blinking, and her face was full of anticipation. She even stood on tiptoe.
The look of eagerness to try is written all over his face.
A little too cute.
His eyes bent unconsciously. He Jinxing has always been a person who doesn't have the concept of what rules and regulations on what occasions to do - so even if it was an engagement party - in front of everyone - a song was almost finished, and the director who was going through the process backstage was already scratching his head, he was still in a playful mood.
With a slight "click" sound, the ring box that was slightly open was closed again.
Under the little girl's momentary dazed expression——
"My hand slipped."
He was irresponsible and spoke in an innocent tone.
Gou An: “…”
The journalists who had edited the document interface, adjusted the camera focus, and were ready to grab the headlines of the exposure of the top wedding diamond ring in Jiangcheng like a sprinter: "..."
The little girl's face went from expectation to confusion, and then she puffed up belatedly. The mature wedding dress was probably just a moment of confusion. The white face puffed up like a frog and immediately brought her back to the familiar rhythm.
Angry.
He Jinxing found it hard to control himself from laughing out loud, and was not surprised to see that she seemed to become even angrier.
If it wasn't for messing up her veil... Resisting the urge to reach out and touch her head, the man bent down, looked at her, and asked knowingly: "Are you angry?"
The smile on his face was more disgusting than ever before.
However, before everything turned into an accident like "the bride announced the cancellation of the engagement by holding up her skirt", without waiting for her answer, he stopped while he was ahead and neatly opened the ring box in his hand.
——Pandora’s box was opened for the second time. This time, there was only a dazzling diamond ring inside.
It’s not any classic style, but a style that is somewhat unfamiliar to Gou An.
The intricately shaped vines are wrapped around the main diamond that reflects brilliant light, and the vines are dotted with emeralds. The shape of the vines looks familiar, but Gou An can't remember what kind of plant it is.
It was not until the banquet hall that the camera with no blind spots was focused, exposing the true appearance of the ring to all the guests.
"Oh, it's Mistletoe." Jiang Yuan covered her lips. Even a noble lady like Gou Yu's wife sounded a little surprised. "I haven't seen this ring for a long time. I almost didn't recognize it."
The ordering method of the top-grade jewelry exclusive to VE is mysterious, and it has nothing to do with assets and consumption records. Since the birth of VE, a century-old jewelry brand, there are only five pieces in the world, and the orderers range from ancient European royal family members to an unknown rural farmer...
Now the sixth one is in He Jinxing's hands.
As we all know, in "The Lord of the Rings", there are seven Supreme Rings that triggered the war in Middle-earth and caused people to fight over them.
If that's not considered "limited edition".
Each mistletoe has its own unique vine shape, which is said to be the craftsmanship of the founder's family of VE Jewelry. In other words, the six rings over the past century have never been mass-produced by anyone.
The craftsmen who are skilled in the craft have only one surname from beginning to end, and it is a heritage craft that is more mysterious and rigorous than Buccellati's classic lace craft.
The plant mistletoe has a romantic legend. It is said that two people who kiss under this plant will be entangled with each other for life...
Whether it is love or grudge, it will not even be wiped out with the death of the soul.
He Jinxing took out the ring.
Watch the eyes of the person in front of you move along with the ring.
I won't think the person in front of me is snobbish, nor will I have such inexplicable thoughts as "she is so frivolous because of the jewelry". In fact, when you give away something you have worked so hard to get, the response you want is nothing more than the person in front of you showing this -
Great anticipation and joy.
He Jinxing sneered and put away his playful mood, and even the corners of his eyes softened. He lowered his eyes and reminded: "Hand."
Gou An raised his hand and stretched it in front of him, following his instructions step by step.
There was no expression on his face because his brain had exploded, and perhaps the central nervous system responsible for language and expression management had been paralyzed...
Even Sniff likes to go into antique shops and pick out limited edition pieces that are dazzling enough.
The box containing the ring was thrown casually to the people standing nearby.
The small and delicate ring fell into the man's palm. It was not like the ones in the general domineering novels where the bigger the diamond, the better, or even the outrageous size of 30 carats, which was as big as the diamond candies sold at the entrance of elementary schools. Gou An knew at a glance that the size of the main diamond was the most suitable for her finger.
The diamonds wrapped around vines reflected the snow-white light under the stage lights, and it seemed that it would be dazzling if you looked at it for too long.
Her fingers fell into his palm, and she held her breath the moment the edge of the ring touched her nails.
A sudden and high-pitched male voice sounded behind him.
The ring paused on the tip of the finger.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Looking back, I saw that the person who disappeared in the original work and was forced to wear formal clothes even though he was not missing now suddenly appeared under a spotlight near the main stage.
The smiles on the guests' faces disappeared. Perhaps they thought there was something wrong with their ears, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound. They saw a tall boy using his hands and feet to actively climb up to the main stage.
He Ran's eyes were red with anger and his hair was messy. He had no idea where he had gone to have a drink and then rushed to the banquet hall. He suddenly appeared now, without caring about the guests or the numerous media...
Even though he seemed to be staggering when he walked, he was still stumbling onto the stage on all fours! "Hey! Do you hear me? I don't agree!"
The boy's voice was hoarse, like a kettle that had been boiled dry and had reached a level other than boiling!
Ahhhhhhh? What's going on? Who is this? The young master of the He family, He Ran.
Ah, I almost didn't recognize it...
What is he doing? Oh my God, didn't he break off the engagement with Gou An before? Otherwise, the He family wouldn't have let He Jinxing -
It seems that he didn't cancel the engagement voluntarily?
What do you mean it's not voluntary? I heard that he really hates the eldest daughter of the Gou family...
"oh."
In the crowd, I don’t know whose soul asked the question——
"Do you think he doesn't like it now?"
As the whispers began, the people in the audience finally seemed to react. Countless media people raised their cameras and shifted their focus, preparing to capture the highlight moment when Young Master He awkwardly performed a lunge with one leg, preparing to step onto the main stage aisle.
Mr. He pounded his cane on the ground and shouted, "Hold him!"
Gou Yu pulled up his sleeves reflexively. After a few seconds, he realized that he was not of the right generation. He kicked his son who was standing beside him and said, "Go!"
The next second, Gou Xun with a gloomy face and He Yuan with an expressionless face grabbed the person whose half body was already on the stage, grabbed his arms, and dragged him down!
"Let me go! Let me go! Why are you holding me? Can't anyone hear me? I said I don't agree, I object!"
Young Master He must have drunk a lot. He struggled hysterically, like an elusive loach that slipped away! Gou Xun wanted to knock him out. He hastily glanced at his sister who was bewildered on the stage, and scolded him in an intolerable manner: "Stop talking! You are so stupid!"
He Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and directly reached out to cover his mouth, but he was bitten on his hand like a dog! He hissed and snatched his hand back, and Master He's mouth was free, shouting: "An An! It's me! I'm He Ran! I object in my real name!"
Gou Xun finally had to use one arm to hold his waist and the other arm to hold his neck, using their similar body sizes to forcibly drag him back.
“……………………There is no such thing as ‘who agrees and who disagrees’! Wake up! Stop making trouble!”
The angry curses of the young man from the Gou family were heard.
"I don't care! I object!"
"Just shut up!"
The media at the scene were stunned at the beginning and almost burst into tears at the end.
What a bizarre and bloody plot of a wealthy family!
Uncle and nephew are at odds!
They fell out on the spot!
Make a scene at the engagement party! … … I don’t have to worry about news for a week, it’s great to get a ticket!
There was chaos in the audience.
All those who could move and knew He Ran jumped up. They wanted to tie him up and drag him out of the banquet hall. However, it was useless. The flashes were so bright that they almost lit up the whole banquet hall like day.
Even if the reporters leaving the scene today were asked to hand over the negatives, it would be of no avail. Those present were all experienced media professionals, and the situation at the scene would have leaked out at the first opportunity.
Embarrassing or not, it is a foregone conclusion. On major local social media platforms, the He family is bound to be flooded with news tonight.
Until Gou An saw He Ran kick Zhou Yanji, He Yuan frowned and took a napkin to wrap around the bitten and bleeding palm. Her neck was almost twisted 180 degrees, and she watched the restless He Young Master shouting "Why" being carried out of the banquet hall by others——
"Have you seen enough fun?"
A calm male voice sounded from behind my head.
"Turn back."
Gou An was in a daze and turned around subconsciously.
"Look at me."
When he looked into those familiar dark eyes, he realized what she was doing...
The He family members below the stage were already in chaos. Old Man He was so angry that he couldn't speak. The third uncle of the He family was trying to calm him down. The second uncle, He Ran's father, stood aside with a pale face. He Ran's mother was so frightened that she fainted in her husband's arms.
Gou An's hand was still held in He Jinxing's hand——
The latter happened to be the only person in the whole audience who remained calm and emotionally stable.
It was as if he didn't care what the people in the audience were doing. He couldn't hear what his nephew was shouting as he was dragged out of the banquet hall. He didn't care that he was crying and shouting lines that no one could understand, such as "This time I will use everything I have to exchange for Gou An"...
I lowered my eyes and looked at the white and soft fingers in my palm, which were stretched out obediently and close at hand.
In such chaos and war.
He pushed the diamond ring in firmly and decisively until it was firmly wrapped around the base of her middle finger.
The ceremony is over.
The ceremony is over.
