The engagement banquet officially began, and the wedding emcee started his professional hosting.
"Dear friends and family, good afternoon! Please take your seats, the engagement ceremony is about to begin."
The highly skilled emcee was completely off-script.
In a cheerful tone, she continued, "First, let me introduce myself. I am He Guanyu, and I am the master of ceremonies for Mr. Li Yanli and Ms. Shangguan Yunxin's engagement today."
"It is a great honor to officiate the engagement ceremony for the two newlyweds today."
......
Immediately afterwards, a fitting background music began to play.
"Please welcome the two newlyweds to my side."
"Now, I declare the engagement ceremony officially open!"
The host announced the newcomers' entrance and guided them to speak.
Finally, they put their engagement rings on each other's fingers.
He then invited both sets of parents to come up on stage and speak.
Standing on the stage, dressed in festive attire, Mr. Li began his speech with a smile.
"Dear friends and family, good afternoon! Today we gather here to celebrate the engagement ceremony of my son, Li Yanli, and my daughter-in-law, Shangguan Yunxin. We are deeply grateful that you have taken time out of your busy schedules to attend and offer your congratulations. We extend our warmest welcome and heartfelt thanks..."
Mr. Li gave a speech for about ten minutes at the engagement ceremony, in which he thanked his wife, his in-laws, and so on.
Every word was so solemn yet moving.
After that, it was time for the in-laws' speech, and the content was pretty much the same.
Finally, the newlyweds poured wedding wine for their parents.
The emcee officially announced that the two families had become in-laws, and the two parties signed the marriage certificate and took a group photo.
Next, the newlyweds will cut the cake together.
"Finally, let us raise our glasses together to celebrate the official engagement of the two newlyweds!"
May they grow old together in love and be forever united!
The lively and cheerful host enlivened the atmosphere, creating a joyful and lively ambiance.
She truly deserves to be called Chengdu's top host.
"Wanwan, how romantic! I want to get engaged before getting married in the future too, I can't skip any of the steps, after all, it only happens once in a lifetime."
"You'd better hurry up and win Ye Chen over, then he'll be attending your engagement party next," Su Yinwan said with a smile.
"I do hope so."
Yunhe pouted and looked up at Ye Chen, her eyes meeting his.
A few seconds later, the two of them simultaneously turned their gaze to the stage, their calm demeanor making it seem as if nothing had just happened.
After the ceremony, it was time for the meal.
Abalone for a harmonious union, sea cucumber for a perfect ending, Boston lobster with garlic sauce, Alaskan king crab...
Their main focus is on hearty dishes.
Waiters pushed food carts one after another, bringing the prepared dishes to the table.
"Here, He'er, your favorite sea coconut, fish maw, and conch soup."
Su Yinwan first ladled a bowl of soup for Yunhe.
To make sure Yunhe was full, her chopsticks never stopped, constantly piling food into Yunhe's bowl.
With Rong Jing not by her side, she devoted all her care to Yun He.
"That's enough, Wanwan. I'll finish eating and get some for myself. You can eat too."
"Um."
Su Yinwan then stopped eating with her chopsticks.
At this moment, the food in her bowl began to pile up.
"Xiao Wan, don't just eat for others, eat something for yourself too."
Madam Rong glanced at the dishes on the table and specially picked out Su Yinwan's favorite dishes.
"Okay, thank you, Mom."
As if by some subtle influence, just as Rong's mother finished serving food to Su Yinwan, Rong's father considerately served food to Rong's mother and grandfather as well.
At this moment, the dinner table had clearly become divided into two factions.
On one side is a harmonious and caring atmosphere, and on the other side is a cold and quiet atmosphere of eating alone.
Ye Hongye's envious gaze lingered on them.
Now that he's older, he certainly longs for that kind of family atmosphere.
He also understands that the current situation is the result of his own actions.
He only hoped that his eldest son could return soon to inherit his family business, which was originally intended for Ye Chen, so it was a kind of compensation.
After dinner, Su Yinwan took her handbag to the restroom to touch up her makeup.
Just as she was standing in front of the mirror, taking out her lipstick to touch up her makeup, a girl in a dusty rose dress walked in.
She stood by the sink next to Su Yinwan and washed her hands.
His eyes kept scanning Su Yinwan through the mirror.
His eyes still held a hint of disdain.
"Looks like Jing-ge's wife isn't all that great. She's just a pretty face, with no family background and no ability."
"You're only enjoying your moment of glory these few years. When you get old and your looks fade, I don't believe Jing-ge will still dote on you like he does now."
Su Yinwan calmly finished touching up her makeup while listening to the blatant mockery from the unknown girl next door.
It seems she's encountered a lunatic, randomly pointing fingers and criticizing others.
“I said, little girl, if you’re sick, you should take medicine; if you’re angry, go outside and vent it; if you can’t stand seeing others doing well, gouge out your eyes and cut out your tongue while you’re at it, so you won’t disgust people here.”
Su Yinwan, of course, would not tolerate the contempt and ridicule from the girl in the dusty rose dress.
She would immediately and fiercely retort.
I wonder if it's girls who love Murong Jing who would target her like this.
"What makes you so arrogant? You only have the honor of being Mrs. Rong because of the Rong family and Jing-ge. If my sister hadn't gone abroad, how could you have become Mrs. Rong?"
The girl in the dusty rose dress raised her voice even louder, her face filled with resentment.
Su Yinwan frowned upon hearing this.
She wondered to herself, what was her sister's connection to Mrs. Rong? And what was her relationship with Rong Jing? Why would this little girl say such things?
Seeing Su Yinwan remain silent, the girl in the dusty rose dress thought she had hurt her pride and smiled.
"Not everyone can be Mrs. Rong. Don't you even know if you're qualified? You can't help him in his career, and you don't have any high-society connections. I'm sure that before long, Brother Jing will get tired of you and will definitely divorce you."
She had already had someone investigate Su Yinwan's background. She came from an ordinary family; her parents were teachers.
All I have is a dessert shop.
Graduated from Morley University with a bachelor's degree.
There are no other conditions that can be presented publicly.
Does she even deserve to be Mrs. Rong?
Thinking of the exceptionally outstanding Rong Jing, only her sister was worthy of such a remarkable man.
Who does this woman think she is?
The girl in the dusty rose dress scoffed dismissively.
Immediately afterwards, she received a slap to the face.
With a loud "slap," a resounding slap landed.
The heavy makeup on her face all flaked off in an instant.
Su Yinwan's hands were covered in makeup powder from her face after she finished washing them, and she turned away to wash her hands with obvious disgust.
"I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will retaliate. If you want a fight, I'll gladly oblige. Don't come crying to your parents then."
Su Yinwan calmly pulled out a tissue to dry her hands, then turned around and looked at her with a sharp gaze.
