As the banquet officially began, Su Qiming walked up to the beautifully decorated podium and welcomed the guests with a smile. His voice was loud and enthusiastic, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Li Qiran had just been released by Lin Yiping and wanted to bite her, but since the banquet had started, he gave up and planned to settle the score with her next time.
"Dear guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter Su Liyue's recognition party. Now, please invite my daughter Su Liyue to the stage!" As soon as Su Qiming finished speaking, warm applause broke out from the audience.
Su Liyue walked briskly to the front of the stage, and the media below the stage took pictures one after another. After all, Su Liyue was a third-tier artist in the entertainment industry. When her "proposal" was on the hot search list before, many people speculated about her identity. Now, if they could take a picture and post it online first, it would be another hot search.
Su Liyue began to give a speech on the stage, while Li Qiran was observing the door from the audience. [I hope those two old guys won’t show up!]
[Xiao Qi, your hopes may be dashed. The two of them have already reached the door. They are waiting for Su Liyue to finish her words and then come out to plead for Su Jianqiang! ] Lao Ba said while looking at the picture from the perspective of God.
Gu Shichen was right in front of Li Qiran. After listening to her thoughts, he already had a plan in mind.
At this moment, Su Liyue had finished what she wanted to say, and finally said: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my family recognition party!" After that, she bowed to the audience to express her gratitude.
There was thunderous applause from the audience. At this moment, two old men came in from the door. They were Su Jianguo and his wife Wang Xiulan.
The arrival of Su Jianguo and Wang Xiulan attracted everyone's attention.
Su Qiming saw their faces change slightly, but he still hurried over to greet them: "Mom and Dad, why are you here?" He said with a smile.
"My granddaughter has returned, so how could I not come? I'm here to give Liyue a gift." Su Jianguo didn't say directly what he came here for.
Su Qiming: ...Why didn't you come to visit when Liyue just came home? Isn't it because Liyue has Shichen chasing her that you came? !
He said calmly, "Then the two elders should go sit aside for a while."
Su Jianguo didn't mean that. After handing the gift to Su Qiming, he asked, "Can I say a few words?"
Su Qiming's heart tightened: "Today is Liyue's home court, Dad, if you have anything to say, let's talk at home after the banquet." He still kept a smile on his face.
"It won't delay anything if you say a few words to Qiming." Su Jianguo said as he walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone.
Su Qiming looked unhappy, but it was inconvenient for him to stop it in public.
Su Jianguo cleared his throat and said, "Today is a happy day. I am very happy that Li Yue can return to the Su family. I plan to give 10% of the company's shares to my granddaughter Li Yue!"
There was an uproar in the audience. Su Jianguo continued, "But I have a request. I..." There was no sound after that.
Su Jianguo knocked on the microphone and there was a voice of "Hello", saying, "This unwelcome request is..." There was no sound again. Su Jianqiang knocked on the microphone and thought to himself: ...What's going on?
Little did he know that it was Li Qiran who asked Lao Ba to do that. Whenever he tried to say something to plead for Su Jianqiang, there would be no sound from the microphone.
Su Jianguo fiddled with the microphone, looking unhappy. Su Liyue was standing aside, also looking a little embarrassed. The audience was also discussing in a low voice:
"Is this microphone broken?"
"It feels like someone doesn't want him to say something!"
"What can't you say in person?"
"I think it should be the incident when Su Jianqiang was imprisoned!"
"I think so too. If Su Liyue refuses to plead in front of so many people, I'm afraid the media will use this as an excuse to make a fuss."
"I don't know who did this, I felt so embarrassed on stage, hahaha!"
Gu Shichen looked back at the snickering Li Qiran and roughly understood that it was this little girl who was causing trouble. It seemed that he didn't need to take any action himself.
Su Liyue couldn't stand this awkward atmosphere any more, and thought to herself: ...Who can save me? This is so awkward~
At this moment, Su Qiming walked onto the stage like a savior: "Dad, maybe the microphone is broken, let's talk about it at home."
Su Jianguo was unwilling to give up and asked the hotel to change several microphones, but no one could find a word to plead for Su Jianqiang. Only then did he reluctantly walk off the stage.
Li Qiran was almost laughing to death in the corner, [Hahahaha, let me tell you what you say, you say one sentence and I'll pinch you~]
Lin Yiping gently touched Li Qiran's head and thought to herself: ...This girl is really naughty, but it's okay, this way Li Yue won't have to be embarrassed.
Just then Gu Shichen walked onto the stage and picked up the microphone: "Here, I have one more thing to announce."
Su Jianguo looked depressed when he saw that Gu Shichen was able to speak into the microphone.
The people in the audience looked at Gu Shichen, wanting to hear what this young master from the imperial capital had to say.
After seeing everyone looking at him, Gu Shichen said, "What I want to talk about today is me. Gu Shichen announced that I have made an engagement with Miss Su Liyue of the Su family!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned. It took them a while to react and there was an uproar. Who was Gu Shichen? He was the heir to the first family in the imperial capital, and he announced here that he was engaged to Su Liyue. This was such big news.
The reporters in the audience were also excited. This was even bigger news. The Weibo server was about to explode!!!
Su Liyue didn't expect Gu Shichen to announce this matter on such an important occasion. She looked at Gu Shichen in disbelief, but she was surprised and touched in her heart.
Qian Yunfa's face was gloomy and he thought to himself: ...The Su family is really at its peak!
But Qian Chen didn't care about all this. There was only Su Shixie in his eyes. He stared at Su Shixie's butt greedily.
Su Shixie felt very uncomfortable with this gaze, and he would deal with him later!
After the uproar from the audience, all they heard were blessings for them.
Li Qiran clapped in the corner: "Gu Shichen is such a real man~ Sister will definitely be happy in the future!"
Lin Yiping also agreed. Su Qiming and Yin Xiulin were also very surprised. They had just got engaged a month ago and wanted to wait until they had been together for a while before announcing it. They didn't expect Gu Shichen to say it this way. However, they were mostly happy.
Gu Shichen continued, "Today is not only Li Yue's family recognition party, but also the day we announce our engagement. I'm paying for it, and everyone can draw a lottery here, and whatever you draw will be yours!"
As he spoke, he asked someone to tear down the curtain on the screen, and a huge QR code was displayed. Gu Shichen said, "Everyone can scan it with their mobile phone to participate in the lottery. If you win, fill in the address where the prize will be sent, and someone will deliver the gift to the designated location!"
There was a cheer from the audience! Everyone took out their phones to scan the QR code for the lucky draw, and the banquet hall was bustling with activity.
