Chapter 598 Engagement Ceremony

"Ayi, what's wrong with you?" Lu Yingxue said in a low voice, "Don't let your guard down on such an important occasion."

The Lu family can't afford to lose this person!

The smile on Lu Bangnong's face also faded a little.

Zhong Hongfei was quite normal. He hoped that Zhong Yi would mess up the engagement party. If so, the old lady would definitely not forgive him, and he would lose his status as a candidate.

Zhong Lingxiao can directly be regarded as the heir of the Zhong family.

He couldn't stand this illegitimate child who was cunning and resourceful.

"Ayi!"

Lu Yingxue shouted again.

Zhong Yi glanced at the crowd, and the guests around him also had doubts in their hearts.

"Who is he looking at? Is he unhappy with this marriage?"

"I heard a rumor that Xiang Mingzhu had an affair with Zhong Yi before. Cousin and future cousin-in-law, this kind of lewd story might be true."

"He seemed to be looking at Xiang Mingzhu, but it's a pity that Xiang Mingzhu followed that rough guy Zhao Chang. The top wealthy families still want to unite, why would they marry a poor family? If the Xiang family hadn't gone bankrupt, it would be possible..."

Xiang Mingzhu bit her lip, feeling mixed emotions.

She looked at the handsome man on the podium. Was he looking at her?

Heading in this direction, who else could it be!

Zhong Yi, he must have some feelings for her!

The more this happened, the more she felt mixed feelings of love and hate! She was even more unwilling to accept this, and would drag Lu Yingxue with her even if she had to go to hell!

Xiang Mingzhu's eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhao Chang hugged her slender waist rudely and warned her: "Standing next to me, how dare you think about other men?"

"Let go!"

Xiang Mingzhu spoke in a low voice with hatred in her eyes.

She didn't want to see her being hugged and intimate by a vulgar person.

Bang!

As if in protest, Zhao Chang slapped Xiang Mingzhu in the face with a crisp slap.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you order me around? Do you really think you're still the eldest daughter of the Xiang family?"

Looking at the surprised and shocked eyes of the guests, Zhao Chang's vanity was also satisfied. The former eldest daughter of the Xiang family was now being insulted and beaten by a man like him, but she could not fight back.

Just be obedient.

What could satisfy his male ego better than this?

Xiang Mingzhu covered her burning cheeks with her hands. The overwhelming sense of humiliation drowned her like a suffocating tide.

She was tense and her ears were filled with discussions.

Zhao Chang pulled her into his arms with all his strength and touched her in a very humiliating way.

She was treated like a lowly woman, and her already revealing short skirt almost exposed her.

Xiang Mingzhu's heart was bleeding, full of forbearance.

Wait a little longer!

She'll find her chance!

"He's really a piece of shit." Huo Sijiao held Qiao Xi's hand and whispered, "Look at that fat guy, he really looks like a villain who has succeeded, and the Lu family didn't even stop him. They let him bully Xiang Mingzhu. After all, Xiang Mingzhu and the Lu family are related by blood."

How cold-blooded!

Qiao Xi sighed in her heart as she watched Xiang Mingzhu being molested by Zhao Chang in public.

But it also feels very strange!

Xiang Mingzhu's mother is Lu Yutong, who is said to be in poor health and has been recuperating abroad for many years. Didn't she hear anything about the Xiang family going bankrupt?

She never showed up from beginning to end.

Don't you have any feelings for this daughter at all?

Also, the reason for recuperation abroad is not valid, because her brother Lu Bannong is a famous doctor in the capital!

Why do you need to go abroad just to take care of your body?

As she was thinking, Huo Sijiao grabbed her hand with more force: "Sister-in-law, you see, we have to sign the engagement certificate!"

Qiao Xi turned her head and looked at the stage.

Zhong Yi took a few steps forward, put her finger on the ink pad and pressed her fingerprint on the engagement certificate.

The marriage certificate is ready!

The Lu family father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief. They were really worried that Zhong Yi would not care about the occasion and do something to embarrass them.

fortunately!

The ceremonial director said loudly, "Next, please ask the woman to serve sweet tea to the elders."

The sweet tea here is tea with sugar added, which symbolizes sweetness.

Lu Yingxue held the teacup and said to Zhong Hongfei respectfully, "Please have some tea."

Zhong Hongfei took the teacup, drank the tea, which was neither hot nor cold, and placed a red envelope that he had prepared in advance on the tray.

Lu Yingxue smiled and said thank you.

"Finally, please ask the man and woman to exchange engagement rings."

The staff on both sides brought out the engagement rings that had been prepared in advance.

Lu Yingxue took out a diamond-studded men's ring, picked up her favorite left hand, and slowly put it on his ring finger.

This is the finger connected to the heart, symbolizing closeness with the one you love.

Zhong Yi's hand bent, and the ring in Lu Yingxue's hand almost fell to the ground.

He said calmly: "Sorry, my hand doesn't feel well."

"Did you drink too much, Yi? I asked someone to prepare some hangover soup. Drink some later. Today is our engagement party, so you will have to attend until late."

Lu Yingxue said this in an extremely gentle manner.

"good."

Zhong Yi rubbed his swollen brows. There were some wines that he really couldn't refuse.

"Ayi, it's your turn to put the ring on me."

Lu Yingxue stretched out her left hand.

Zhong Yi took a deep breath and put the diamond ring on Lu Yingxue's hand.

"Now please let the newcomer give his speech!"

Si Yi handed the two microphones to Lu Yingxue and Zhong Yi respectively.

"Ms. Lu, Mr. Zhong, it's your turn to give a speech. How about the ladies go first?"

"good."

Lu Yingxue held the microphone and looked around at the large group of guests. All the well-known people in the imperial capital's upper class were here. This engagement party could bring her more than the champion of the needle-testing competition!

She raised her lips and said, "Thank you all for coming to my engagement party with Ayi! Many years ago, when Ayi and I met, the old lady joked that we should get engaged, and today it finally came true. Here, I want to thank my father, the old lady, and all my relatives and friends. I am very happy to be with Ayi."

Her eyes were full of affection and she seemed to be really satisfied with this marriage.

"I hope everyone can come and see my wedding! Thank you."

Lu Yingxue glanced at Qiao Xi with arrogance in her eyes and smiled.

The outcome is still undecided.

In the imperial capital, Qiao Xi might not be able to defeat her!

Even if Zhong Yi likes her, it doesn’t matter. Does Zhong Yi dare to say it?

Can I express my love for her? Since it shouldn't be a love affair that no one knows about, then there is no reason for it!

If he announced publicly that he liked Qiao Xi, Huo Xingzhou would lose face!

Which man would want to be cuckolded?

Lu Yingxue smiled and looked at Zhong Yi and said, "It's your turn."

Compared to Lu Yingxue's long speech, Zhong Yi simply said: "The ceremony is over, please feel free to drink and greet."

He turned off the microphone and put it aside, then walked down the stairs.

Lu Yingxue quickly took his hand and said softly, "Ayi, I specially prepared a sobering soup for you in the lounge. Drink it first, and I will entertain the guests for you. If you get drunk in this scene, you will lose your sense of propriety."

Zhong Yi hesitated for a while, then his dark eyes flickered slightly and he said, "Okay."

He turned around and walked slowly towards the stairs.

Lu Yingxue looked at his back, her lips curled up, and a hint of calculation flashed in her eyes.
