Chapter 773 Sentimental Drama
My dad's face was almost broken from laughing, and I felt a little uncomfortable watching it.
Looking at my uncle in the audience, my grandmother had a dark face and wanted to pack up the things on the table with a plastic bag, but my uncle tried hard to stop her.
My aunt looked at grandma with disdain without saying a word, and kept picking up food for her two sons. From time to time, she looked at me with envy. Seeing that I was looking at her, she quickly showed a slightly flattering smile.
Although my uncle's eyes didn't change when he looked at me, he was clearly restrained when he looked at Xiao Shiqiu. And my aunt's behavior was much more flattering.
For some reason, my aunt's current attitude makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I still prefer her to be the same as before.
Although my family is much richer than my uncle's family, my uncle and aunt have always treated us as their own relatives and never try to please us.
After the toast was finally over and the main courses of the banquet were almost served, we sat back at the main table and the waiters started serving staple foods, fruits, desserts and so on.
The host announced that a drone show was about to begin on the lawn in front of the banquet hall.
The children all ran out to watch the fun. I wanted to join in the fun, but Xiao Shiqiu grabbed me and said, "No need to go out. Let's go to the stage and watch."
Although the entire hall is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, it still feels a bit iffy when viewed through the windows.
"It's not enough to watch through the window..."
Before I could finish my words, the arched roof of the banquet hall slowly opened. In just two or three minutes, the top of the hall was empty, with only a few beams with crystal chandeliers hanging from them.
All the lights in the hall were turned off at this time, and the entire banquet hall turned into a huge observation deck. The two of us stood side by side at the highest point of the banquet hall. He held me in his arms, and in the darkness, he kissed me with a hint of alcohol, until stars of drones appeared in the sky.
"Wow!" I couldn't help but exclaimed, and looked up. I saw 1,314 drones arranged in a huge heart-shaped pattern in the night sky, flashing pink and gold light.
As melodious music sounded, the drone swarm began to change its formation, first forming a blooming rose, and then turning into the silhouettes of two little people holding hands.
I was so surprised that I felt like a bumpkin who had just arrived in the city. I almost burst out with praise: "Oh my god! It's so beautiful."
He smiled at me gently and said, "Don't get excited yet, just keep watching."
Then, the drone figures began to waltz, their movements graceful and fluid. Which company did this? Their technology is incredible.
Suddenly, all the drones went off at the same time. I was shocked. They were destroyed again.
Before I could think about it, the next second, they all lit up with pink light, spelling out the words "Marry Me" in that cute round font.
At this point, I was so excited that I was almost speechless, my eyes were hot, and my nose was sore. Damn, it was just like the Spring Festival Gala, and it had to be a sentimental scene.
No matter how much I complain, my heart is still pounding.
The spotlight was on us again, and everyone's attention was unconsciously drawn to us.
Xiao Shiqiu had already knelt on one knee without him noticing, and took out a gorgeous little box from his pocket.
"Although I've already proposed, I still want to ask again in front of everyone." He opened the box, and inside was an ordinary-looking diamond ring. The only difference was that it was big.
That’s right, as long as the diamond is big enough, no one will care about the design of the ring. People will just exclaim, “How many carats is this?”
I'm not just guessing, because I actually heard someone in the audience exclaiming in surprise.
"Xia Yimeng, will you marry me?" Xiao Shiqiu looked extremely serious, even a little pious.
The drone timely transformed into a big "YES", flashing faster and faster, as if urging me to nod.
I don't think any girl would refuse, at least I wouldn't.
I couldn't help but shed tears. I didn't expect that this uncle who was usually a bit sinister and sharp-tongued, and who controlled me more than my father, actually had such a romantic side.
I nodded with a sob, and reached out to let him put the ring on my finger. The pigeon egg was very conspicuous on my hand, and the heaviness made me extremely satisfied.
At this moment, the drone swarm suddenly dispersed and turned into a meteor shower across the night sky, finally converging into the initials of our name "X&X", surrounded by a circle of hearts of various sizes.
Very good, two Xs, just like a secret agent’s code name.
The whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers. Old Man Xiao clapped his hands happily: "This kid is much more romantic than his father was back then!"
After the drone show, we returned to our seats.
I whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Would you like me to go with you?"
I rolled my eyes at him, "Do you need my company to go to the bathroom? Why don't you just forget about me?"
He chuckled: "It's not impossible, I can try it when I get home."
I glared at him coquettishly, then got up and went to the bathroom in the back.
Ever since I heard Huang Tianyi’s explanation of the term bathroom, I can’t look at the word bathroom anymore.
After freeing up the memory, I was about to push the door open and go out when I heard someone outside talking on the phone: "Mom, what's going on? I'm having dinner right now.
…
It was the engagement party of Mingli's niece. That little girl was really lucky to marry a very rich old man.
…
Yes, I know her family used to have some money, but her second brother still has to bow and scrape to people like a grandson wherever he goes to get things done. He is busy like a dog all day long and has a mistress outside. Why should I be jealous? It's nothing compared to being a sensible civil servant and having less worries.
…
It’s different now. His niece married not just an ordinary rich man, but a really rich one. There were 288 tables set up, making it look like the Spring Festival Gala.
…
Mingli never told me before that his niece could actually find someone like this.
Mom, let me tell you, the elder from the man’s family is actually Xiao Yuanshan. I’ve only seen that old man on TV. Many high-ranking officials came to the scene.
…
Who knows if she can benefit from it? His niece hasn't been back home many times in recent years, and she's not very close to Mingli, but she's pretty good to Xiaosong and Xiaobai..."
As he spoke, he heard the sound getting farther and farther away, so he opened the door and went out.
I don't have much contact with my aunt. She has always been gentle and virtuous in front of others, and she has a kind of elegant demeanor. I didn't expect that she would be like this behind others.
I don’t know if my uncle really understands her.
Forget it, it’s none of my business anyway.
Just as I walked to the bathroom door and was about to push it open, I saw two familiar figures at the corner in front of me through the one-way glass door. They were Lu Yuanqing and Si Kouting.
