Jiang Jingchuan didn't care; it was just a minor tantrum from a young girl, though a flash of fierceness still crossed his eyes.
As Shen Changcheng watched all this, he couldn't help but ponder slightly. This Jiang family... was becoming increasingly disrespectful to others.
There was another commotion at the entrance.
Everyone turned around and saw Luo Shuyang, dressed in a bespoke suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, taking his seat with Xiao Wu.
Everyone who knew Luo Shuyang wanted to come up and say hello, but Xiao Wu stopped them all.
In the end, Luo Shuyang sat in the row behind Luo Qingyuan, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face: Jiang Jingwen.
Jiang Jingwen smiled slightly at him, and Luo Shuyang smiled calmly in return.
Jiang Jingwen turned around: "Let's begin."
Jiang Jingchuan nodded: "Okay."
Soon, Jiang Jingchuan came downstairs, and the entire reception room darkened, with only a bright beam of light shining on the stage.
Jiang Jingchuan stepped onto the stage, but his eyes were fixed on Luo Qingyuan.
Luo Shuyang and Duan Ye's eyes darkened, and Luo Qingyuan wished she could tear him to pieces.
Jiang Jingchuan: "Welcome everyone to our Jiang family's charity gala. Today, my fiancée is also here, and I am very happy. Therefore, the Jiang family will take the lead by donating one million yuan to the Kyoto Orphanage!"
The audience erupted in uproar and enthusiastic applause.
People whispered among themselves.
"As expected of the Jiang family, they are incredibly wealthy."
"This is all for his fiancée, he's spending a fortune."
"Yes, Young Master Jiang's fiancée is very lucky."
These words all reached the ears of Duan Ye and the others.
Duan Ye's face was extremely sour, and Luo Shuyang's face wasn't much better.
Although Nanxing didn't know what had happened, she could sense the atmosphere around her, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Someone whispered, "Is this the youngest son of the Jiang family? Who is his fiancée?"
Someone whispered, "You didn't know that? I heard she's the daughter of the richest man..."
Jiang Jingchuan: "Alright! Now, let's begin the donation!"
Just as the host was about to take the microphone, Luo Shuyang stood up and said, "Wait a minute."
As soon as Luo Shuyang spoke, people from both sides of the banquet hall carried boxes of coded briefcases up to the platform and placed them neatly in front of Jiang Jingchuan.
Jiang Jingchuan looked at Luo Shuyang: "Brother, why don't we wait..."
"I can't wait!"
Luo Shuyang stood up, walked onto the platform, and took the microphone.
"Today, on this special day, I, Luo Shuyang, as the head of the Luo family, hereby declare the engagement between the Luo family and the Jiang family null and void!"
"The Luo family will compensate the Jiang family with double the bride price they gave."
"in addition…"
Jiang Jingchuan's face turned green, and he quickly grabbed Luo Shuyang's shoulder: "Brother, don't go too far!"
Xiao Wu was nearby. Upon seeing this, he rushed onto the stage and separated Luo Shuyang and Jiang Jingchuan.
Jiang Jingwen stood quietly on the second floor, watching, his eyes growing increasingly cold.
What a family the Luo family is! What a cunning man Luo Shuyang is!
Luo Shuyang looked at Luo Qingyuan, his eyes softening considerably: "My sister is married now, to a scoundrel. Although I'm not happy with it, I can't go against her wishes. Since your wedding, I haven't said a single good word to you."
"Today, with all the important people in Kyoto gathered here, I wish you a happy marriage!"
Luo Qingyuan's eyes immediately reddened; those boxes of money amounted to over a hundred million.
Luo Qingyuan knew this.
Jiang Jingwen was so angry he laughed.
After Luo Shuyang finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Jingchuan, handed the microphone to Xiao Wu, and said with a smile, "The decision to annul the engagement was mine. Whatever you want, come at me; I'll take it all. But if..."
Luo Shuyang's voice wasn't loud, just loud enough for him and Jiang Jingchuan to hear: "If you dare to touch my sister, I will do everything in my power to destroy the Jiang family. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Jiang Jingchuan's face was very gloomy. He looked at Luo Shuyang and said, "Originally, I thought we could get along amicably because you are my brother-in-law, but since you have made this decision, don't blame me."
The atmosphere was quite tense.
No one could hear what they were saying, but both of them exuded a powerful aura, and everyone was afraid that they would start fighting on the spot.
But Luo Shuyang just smiled dismissively and then stepped down from the platform.
Jiang Jingchuan also stepped off the stage and went upstairs.
Luo Shuyang went straight back to his seat.
As the host began to introduce the start of the banquet, the sound of a piano filled the air, and people were already dancing in the dance floor behind the stage.
It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion for everyone present.
But even though no one dared to say anything, everyone was inwardly turmoil.
Everyone was wondering just how powerful the Luo family was, and how much money was in those suitcases that were carried away.
Jiang Jingwen waved his hand while smoking. Everyone was donating money and trying to make connections with the powerful when the power suddenly went out.
"Ah—" someone screamed in fright.
Nanxing's heart was in her throat.
The host began, "Don't panic, everyone. This is just a little incident. We have a little surprise for you, it'll be here soon."
"Please, guests in the audience, stand up for a moment."
The waiters quickly came over and moved all the chairs away.
Duan Ye pulled Luo Qingyuan along, and Duan Ze also instinctively protected Shen Niannian. Just as Nan Xing was panicking, Luo Qingyuan's voice rang in her ears: "Don't be afraid, we're here."
Duan Ye chimed in, "Yeah, I'm here."
Nanxing finally felt relieved. She felt a pang of sadness, but also a sense of admiration for them, and couldn't help but say, "Thank you."
Soon, twinkling lights appeared all around, and the music on stage changed from slow to fast.
