Chapter 488 I toast you
The newlyweds walked side by side to the center of the auditorium, holding red silk hydrangeas.
The parents of both parties sat on the high hall, full of energy, looking at the couple in front of them with smiles that showed their teeth.
As the master of ceremonies chanted the ceremony in high spirits, the newlyweds bowed in accordance with the etiquette. Every time they bowed, they received cheers and blessings from the guests.
The ceremony is over.
Qin Mu carefully used an exquisite weighing rod to gently lift the red veil on Meng Anran's head.
Beneath the veil, Meng Anran raised her eyes slightly, her makeup delicate, her eyes like water, and a faint yet incredibly moving smile on her lips. As their eyes met, a myriad of emotions were unspoken.
According to etiquette, both parties need to bow to each other's parents and offer tea and change their words.
"Dad, Mom, please have some tea." Qin Mu's voice was clear and serious.
"Okay." Meng Rong and Su Wanman took it with a smile, drank it, and presented thick red envelopes and blessings.
Meng Anran also offered tea to Qin Hua and Tan Ya.
Tanya put down her teacup and held Meng Anran's hand, her eyes full of love. "Anran, I've watched you grow up and have long regarded you as my own daughter. This guy didn't let me down and finally married you home. From now on, we are a family."
After the complicated ceremony, the banquet officially began.
Qin Mu and Meng Anran changed into a relatively light dress and toasted the guests at each table.
Liu Zhi, with her huge pregnant belly, was so excited that she almost rushed over to hug Meng Anran, but Ming Jing hurriedly stopped her: "Auntie, be careful!"
She yelled, "An Ran, you look stunning today! Fairy Qin, if you dare to do anything to An Ran wrong, I will be the first one to not forgive you!"
Qin Mu smiled and hugged Meng Anran tightly: "Don't worry, you don't have this chance."
When the toast came to Mr. Zhao's table, the old man looked at his most proud disciple with eyes full of satisfaction. He said only one sentence: "After the wedding, you have to go back to Yatang to continue studying medicine. Don't forget that you haven't graduated yet!"
Meng Anran was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and nodded heavily.
Just when the newlyweds were halfway through their toast and the atmosphere was at its most lively, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall. The originally noisy voices seemed to be strangled and suddenly died down.
Countless eyes turned towards the door in surprise and doubt.
I saw two tall men walking in one after another.
The man walking in front was wearing a well-tailored black suit. He had a stern face, deep brows and eyes, and exuded a powerful aura that kept strangers away. He was none other than Lu Heng, who was now feared in the Beijing circle.
Following behind him was Lu Yi, whose silver hair cut through the air like a sharp blade, and whose fox eyes still held a hint of nonchalant sharpness.
The Lu brothers!
How come they are here?!
The entire banquet hall seemed to have been muted, and everyone's expressions were frozen.
Shock, confusion, and even a hint of fear spread silently in the air.
Who doesn't know that Lu Heng, Lu Yi and Meng Anran have a hostile relationship?
Are they here to cause trouble?
The guests held their breath, sensing a coming storm.
Amidst countless gazes, some frightened and some inquiring, Lu Heng and Lu Yi walked straight towards Meng Anran.
The atmosphere was so tense that it almost broke.
Lu Heng stopped a few steps away from Meng Anran, his deep gaze falling on her fiery wedding dress, his eyes complex and difficult to read.
There is surprise, trance, and finally it settles into an extremely complex calmness.
Lu Yi stood beside him, looking at Meng Anran with a hint of disgust, frowned and said: "Tsk, marrying at such a young age, how foolish."
"It's better than you. No one wants you in your thirties." Meng Anran's face didn't have the anger or disgust that everyone expected. Even when she retorted, she still gave people a strange sense of closeness. She glanced at Lu Heng with resentment: "Why are you so late?"
"Not too late, just in time for you to toast." Lu Heng said calmly, glancing meaningfully at the seating chart on the table. He and Lu Yi were both seated at the table close to the stage.
She included them in the group of the woman's relatives.
Meng Anran chuckled lightly and filled the wine glass in his hand. "Big brother and second brother, I toast you two."
This sentence exploded like thunder in the banquet hall. Everyone was stunned and suspected that they had heard it wrongly.
Meng Anran actually admitted in public that Lu Heng and Lu Yi were her brothers?!
Not long ago, he clearly wished the other person dead!
Lu Heng's body seemed to stiffen almost imperceptibly for a moment. He stared at Meng Anran closely, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Something seemed to surge violently deep in those eyes that were always frozen, but was eventually suppressed by him, leaving his jawline a little tighter.
Lu Yi was also obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect Meng Anran to admit it so directly.
Meng Anran seemed to have just done something very ordinary. She turned to look at Qin Mu and said naturally, "Qin Mu, you come too."
Qin Mu understood instantly, and a calm and proper smile appeared on his face. "Thank you both for coming to bless you. I promise you that I will take good care of An Xiaoran."
"That's better." Lu Heng held the wine glass and clinked it with the two of them. The strong liquor slid down his throat, it was extremely spicy, but he tasted a hint of sweetness.
At this moment, the guests' minds completely froze.
Are they really reconciled?
What exactly happened?
No matter what the real situation was, Meng Anran's public admission and Qin Mu's calm attitude had already made everything clear.
They are not here to cause trouble, they are my sister's family members who are here to attend her wedding!
Although the identity and past of this "mother's family" still made everyone feel extremely unreal and fearful, the atmosphere in the venue finally gradually warmed up from the freezing point.
On a special occasion, Meng Anran used a unique way to completely clarify her relationship with the Lu brothers, and also announced the end of past grievances to the entire Beijing circle.
The shock and subsequent impact brought about by this action are even greater than the extremely luxurious wedding itself.
After a round of toasts, even Qin Mu, who had a good alcohol tolerance, had a blush on his face, which made him look even more gorgeous.
Meng Anran remained calm and indifferent, because what she drank was not white wine, but mineral water.
After all the wedding procedures were completed, the guests began to chat about their own things.
Many business tycoons that you don’t usually see gather here. Everyone takes the opportunity to get to know each other, and the conversations are full of flattery and business cooperation.
Rather than a grand wedding, it was more like a spectacular business exchange meeting.
I basically meet everyone here, whether I want to meet them or not.
Like Meng Zhen and Xiao Han.
Liu Zhi noticed Xiao Han's absent-mindedness and subconsciously glanced at Meng Zhen, who was sitting at the table next to her with her family. Her gossip instinct suddenly aroused. She lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, Lao Xiao, you and Meng Zhen have been separated for so long. Is it still awkward to run into each other now?"
Xiao Han glanced away from her and said, "What's so embarrassing about breaking up peacefully?"
Liu Zhi held her cheek with her hand, her expression intriguing. "Yo yo yo~ Then why are you so distracted?"
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately retorted venomously: "I was calculating how much space your size takes up. It's almost left Ming Jing with nowhere to sit. What's wrong? Did pregnancy suck the nutrients out of your brain, leaving only gossip?"
