Xu Zhe pulled Bei Xiaoyu to the front porch of the villa.
The place is remote, with no public transportation and it's hard to hail a taxi, so Xu Zhe had to call Mr. Wu and ask him to come over.
The two walked back to the lobby of the resort and deliberately sat on a sofa in the corner to wait for their car.
People kept arriving at the villa, seemingly all there for the engagement banquet of the Liang and Yu families. It was quite a grand affair, unlike what Yu Tiantian had told Xu Zhe, who said they would just have a simple celebration with relatives.
"Xiao, Yu?!" A familiar voice, a familiar tone, sounded from behind.
Both Bei Xiaoyu and Xu Zhe stiffened in the back.
What I feared most came to pass!
"Xiaoyu!" Liang Shaojie walked quickly to Bei Xiaoyu.
As soon as he entered the lobby, he sensed something unusual. He glanced at the sofa area and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure!
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing here?" He was both surprised and delighted, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Shi Le brought me here to gather materials." Bei Xiaoyu lowered her head, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
Liang Shaojie: "You're attending the engagement party, right? I'll take you in!"
Bei Xiaoyu kept her head down and remained silent.
"Let's go, the viewing area is in the courtyard. I personally participated in the design of the courtyard's garden style, which is very suitable for hosting all kinds of banquets."
Liang Shaojie reached out to pull Bei Xiaoyu's hand, which was resting on her knee, but just as he was about to touch it, he took her hand back, considering her wishes.
Bei Xiaoyu moved her hand to her side: "No need, we're going back."
“You guys…” Liang Shaojie glanced at the person next to her, “Oh, Xu Zhe is here too.”
Xu Zhe almost vomited blood. All that talk and chatter hadn't even gotten through to this person?!
She still wants to pursue Bei Xiaoyu. She hasn't even managed to win over her best friend yet, but she already wants to change her impression of her. This person has absolutely no idea how important it is for her best friend to whisper in her ear!
"The car will be here soon, let's go outside and wait." Xu Zhe's words had the opposite effect, since Liang Shaojie had ignored her.
Bei Xiaoyu indeed stood up as well.
"Xiaoyu, wait a minute." Liang Shaojie blocked her way.
"We haven't seen each other for so long, I don't want to never see you again like this!"
Bei Xiaoyu finally looked up at him, her beautiful eyes showing displeasure and a hint of doubt.
"So, you're going to take me to the engagement party to witness the ceremony?" she asked.
"Is that okay?" Liang Shaojie grinned, revealing six teeth.
Xu Zhe: Are you out of your mind? Getting engaged to another woman and then forcing your ex-girlfriend to attend?! You and Liang Shile are practically siblings, always striving to court disaster!
Bei Xiaoyu turned her gaze to Xu Zhe: "Shall we go take a look?"
Xu Zhe quickly grabbed her: "No, no, the car will be here soon!"
"Xu Zhe!" Liang Shaojie's face was filled with anger. "I, Liang Shaojie, have never offended you, have I?! Why do you have to stand between us and ruin my reunion with Xiaoyu?!"
"I..." I'm too lazy to ruin things for you, let alone stand between you two! Su Nan has already left, she's not that free!
"Xiaoyu, let's go!" Liang Shaojie mustered his courage and grabbed Bei Xiaoyu's wrist.
The long-lost delicate softness, the long-lost person in his palm, returned to his hands, making him unconsciously smile and reveal eight teeth.
Now Xu Zhe was in a dilemma. He was afraid to go in and witness the carnage, but it seemed disloyal of him not to go in and abandon his friends to run away.
She gritted her teeth and followed him inside.
Watch how this idiot Liang Shaojie handles the ridiculous situation of bringing his ex-girlfriend to his own engagement party!
Back in the courtyard banquet hall, the entire venue gradually quieted down as soon as the three of them appeared.
It should be that when Liang Shaojie appeared with Bei Xiaoyu by the hand, Xu Zhe was two steps behind them, at most a little follower.
Liang Shile, arm in arm with Zou Kai, also quieted down and stood not far away, staring at her brother in disbelief.
Like her, everyone else's gaze remained fixed on Liang Shaojie and never looked away.
When Liang Shaojie looked at the banquet hall, he saw familiar faces everywhere. Liang's relatives, friends from his circle, business partners, and the Yu family were all there, making it feel just like his engagement party.
He maintained the demeanor of the eldest son of the Liang family, exchanging glances and nodding to those in the room.
Holding hands with his loved one, that can be considered a kind of official announcement.
Liang Shaojie was secretly delighted, and it was all on his face; he couldn't wait for the whole world to see it.
"Shaojie?!" Yu Tiantian's father, the head of the Yu family, noticed the situation and walked over.
"Liang Shaojie! What are you doing?!" Yu Tiantian's brother, Yu Xuanxuan, reacted even more strongly, rushing over and grabbing Liang Shaojie's collar.
Xu Zhe reacted quickly, pulling Bei Xiaoyu aside.
As soon as they left the danger zone, Yu Xuanxuan's fist slammed into Liang Shaojie's face.
"Yu Xuanxuan! Are you fucking crazy?! You dare hit me?!" Liang Shaojie retaliated with a punch, hitting Yu Xuanxuan squarely on the bridge of his nose.
Yu Xuanxuan covered his nose, doubled over in pain. When he looked up again, blood was gushing from his nose. He glanced at the blood on his hands, his face contorting with rage, and suddenly lunged at Liang Shaojie.
The romantic engagement venue instantly turned into a battleground. Xu Zhe felt that this melon was extremely dangerous and not tasty at all!
Bodyguards and young male family members at the scene rushed to break up the fight, and the punches and kicks finally stopped, but the ugly scene was impossible to stop.
Liang Shaojie wiped the blood from his lips and only realized from Yu Xuanxuan's cursing that today was his engagement party?!
"My engagement party?!" He looked at his parents, then at Liang Shile.
"Someone tell me, why didn't I know about my engagement party?!"
"Among everyone present, am I the only one who doesn't know?!"
The room fell silent, and the guests were all stunned.
"Shaojie," Liang's father walked over and patted his shoulder, "Go wash your face, Tian Tian has already prepared it."
"Ha!" Liang Shaojie sneered, "Why don't you ask me if I'm even prepared?!"
Father Liang waved his hand: "Then go and make the preparations."
"You think it's that easy!" Liang Shaojie, who was a head taller than his father, looked down at him with a slight tilt of his head.
"I'm making this clear and unambiguous again today in front of my family, friends, and business partners! I, Liang Shaojie, have someone I love and will not marry into the Yu family. As for sweet or salty, whoever likes me can marry me!"
"Slap!" A heavy slap landed on Liang Shaojie's face.
He turned his head, saw who had slapped him, and laughed.
