Chapter 311 Engagement Ceremony
The engagement ceremony begins.
This time it was just an engagement, and only close relatives and friends were invited.
The emcee came on stage, his face beaming with joy.
"Hello, dear friends, parents of both sides..."
Ye Jinmo and Ji Sichen were sitting in the audience.
On the stage, Zhong Shaoqing was wearing a modified Chinese suit, while Tan Qinghuan next to him was wearing a cheongsam with her hair tied into a simple bun.
The man's hand was dragging on her waist.
"A marriage certificate signifies a happy marriage. Please press your fingerprints on the marriage certificate, which marks the official engagement of the man and woman. From this moment on, you have promised to be together forever."
The marriage certificate was specially made by a national master, with rows of golden words neatly written on the long red scroll.
Tan Qinghuan stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the marriage certificate.
The man next to her had a serious look on his face, his left hand falling next to her right hand.
She raised her head slightly and happened to meet his eyes.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and the heat crept up to her ears.
This heartwarming scene was captured by Ye Jinmo.
She leaned in Ji Sichen's arms, looking at the photos on her phone with joy.
The man bent down and kissed her hair: "Great photo."
Mother Zhong and Father Zhong smiled at each other, unable to conceal the joy on their faces.
Then the host continued:
"Please ask the two newlyweds to exchange love tokens and wear the engagement ring on each other's ring finger. This small ring symbolizes their holding hands and being connected in love..."
Tan Qinghuan took out a men's ring from the tray, took the man's hand opposite her and put it on carefully.
Zhong Shaoqing stared at her without blinking, the doting look in his eyes almost bursting out.
It's his turn to put it on the other person.
The delicate diamond ring sparkled on the tray.
He tried several times to pick it up but failed.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing this, the MC tried to smooth things over: "Groom-to-be, are you nervous because the bride is so beautiful?"
There was laughter below.
Tan Qinghuan also lowered his eyes and smiled.
Zhong Shaoqing picked up the ring and gently pulled up her opponent.
He held the ring against his trembling fingertips, took a deep breath, and put it on her ring finger.
"Shao Qing~" she called him softly.
"Hmm?" He looked up suddenly, beads of sweat already appearing on his forehead.
She raised her other hand to wipe it off for him.
Instantly, he felt much more at ease.
The ring went on smoothly on the finger.
There was warm applause from the audience.
The next step is to cut the cake and give out red envelopes.
Ye Jinmo received her elder brother's engagement cake and ate it happily.
Ji Sichen didn’t like sweets very much, but he still opened his mouth and ate the cream that the girl fed him.
"I ordered this cake, how is it?"
"Yes, when we get engaged, the cake must be bigger."
He thought seriously.
Today's cake only has three layers, but since he is getting engaged to the girl, he must have six layers!
Ye Jinmo glared at him coquettishly, and her cheeks became hot.
"Love has brought two families together, and mutual understanding has brought two lives together. The birth of a pair of children has fulfilled the wishes of the two parents. Now please invite the parents of both families to the stage, and let's raise our glasses to drink the engagement wine together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. and Mrs. Zhong came on stage, and Tan Qinghuan helped Mr. Tan to the stage.
Her eyes were already wet.
She will never get married in her life, nor does she expect to get married, but her daughter wants to marry a good man and find happiness.
Tan Qinghuan held her hand: "Mom, don't cry!"
"Okay, don't cry!" Tan Mingzhu wiped the corners of her eyes.
The person on the stage took the wine and drank it all in one gulp.
There was clear water in Tan Qinghuan's wine glass.
There was thunderous applause from the audience.
Ye Jinmo couldn't help crying.
Fortunately, Big Brother and Sister Qinghuan didn’t miss it.
"Finally, I am very grateful to everyone for taking the time to witness this moment. The engagement ceremony is complete and everyone can go on stage to take photos!"
Zhong Shaoqing held Tan Qinghuan's waist and held her tightly in his arms, fearing that she would be bumped.
The Zhong and Tan families went on stage to take a group photo.
"Okay, come on, everyone, look ahead!"
With a "click", the laughter and joy are frozen at this moment.
Next, the banquet begins and the newlyweds toast.
Tan Qinghuan changed into flat shoes.
Mr. Zhong also looked happy today.
There hasn't been any happy event in the family for a long time.
He specially packed a big red envelope this time.
He was very satisfied with this marriage.
Although the Tan family is not as good as the Zhong family, they are also well matched.
He values his eldest grandson the most and has married him to a girl from an aristocratic family, who is also his beloved. Nothing could make him happier than this.
"Shaoqing, you must treat Qinghuan well in the future. Qinghuan is a great contributor to our family!"
Mr. Tan was also there.
Mr. Zhong toasted him: "Mr. Tan, we will be relatives from now on, let's have a drink!"
The two old men had a very pleasant conversation.
Zhong Shaoqing took Tan Qinghuan to the next table.
Everyone was drinking happily.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the door and a tall figure appeared.
"Brother is holding an engagement ceremony, I'm late."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Ye Jinmo's face immediately darkened.
I saw Zhong Bochuan standing at the door. His black custom-made suit made him look tall, but the sinister look on his face ruined his dignity.
Well, Meng Shanshan is in jail, and as his biggest fan, how could he not come back?
He comes with ill intentions.
Mr. Zhong didn't notice anything and greeted him with a smile.
Zhong Shaoqing protected Tan Qinghuan behind him.
Seeing Zhong Bochuan walk in step by step, the originally noisy guests suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at him.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhong Bochuan handed over the gift.
"My eldest brother is getting engaged. This is my gift. I wish you two a long and happy marriage."
As he spoke, he glanced back.
Tan Qinghuan frowned silently. This man's gaze was like a poisonous snake.
Ye Jinmo broke free from Ji Sichen's hand, took a step forward, and said with a faint smile: "Cousin, you are back just in time. Please take your seat."
His smile became even wider, and the light in his eyes was extremely cold and terrifying, staring at her deeply.
"Sister Jinmo, long time no see, I hope you are well."
He glanced at Ji Sichen behind him and his face darkened slightly.
Ji Sichen pressed close to Ye Jinmo's back, and his protective attitude was obvious.
Everyone present felt the strange atmosphere, and some began to whisper, wondering if Zhong Bochuan had a bad relationship with his family.
Mr. Zhong felt embarrassed and quickly asked Zhong Bochuan to sit down. After a brief greeting, the atmosphere became lively again.
Ye Jinmo felt uneasy and made an excuse to take Tan Qinghuan back to rest.
The room was all red.
The bedding is red and there are wedding characters on the windows.
Tan Qinghuan sat on the bed and listened to Ye Jinmo telling about Zhong Bochuan's affairs.
"In a word, sister-in-law, you must be careful of this man. Meng Shanshan is in jail, and he will definitely be in trouble when he comes back."
Tan Qinghuan nodded: "I will be careful."
She thought of something and grabbed the girl's arm: "It's you. If Meng Shanshan goes in this time, he won't blame you for everything, right?"
Ye Jinmo pursed her lips.
Very likely!
That man is simply a lunatic!
"Don't worry about me, sister-in-law. I will be careful. Grandpa is staying at home for a while. I don't think Zhong Bochuan dares to target us blatantly!"
"Knock knock knock"
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in.
Holding a sandalwood box in his hand.
"Madam, Miss Jinmo, this is the wedding gift from Master Bochuan. He said he must personally deliver it to you."
