On the day of their engagement, Yuan Fang surprisingly said in front of everyone that the engagement should be called off.
Isn't this a slap in the face to Young Master Lou?
Lou Feng was also stunned. He didn't expect that Yuan Fang would break off the engagement because of a small conflict. Where would the Lou family's face be?
He said with a stern face, "Yuan Fang, do you know what you're saying? Do you know what today's alliance means? Your brother and my brother only had a small conflict, and you're going to break off the engagement?"
Yuan Fang coldly replied, "So what if it is? Yuan Ye is my brother. Only I can bully my brother. If anyone else tries to bully my brother, I will fight them to the death!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ye was moved to tears.
I would really appreciate it!
You think you're in the right to bully me?
But no matter what, he was still quite touched.
At least my older sister truly loves me!
However, this time, Lou Feng's pride was completely shattered.
His face darkened as he said, "Fine! Since you've put it that way, we can just call off the engagement. Who the hell's afraid of who? Anyway, I never really had any feelings for you!"
Lou Feng was a man who cared about his reputation. Since the other party was not giving him face, he naturally did not want to stay and embarrass himself. He immediately grabbed his younger brother and tried to leave.
"Lou Feng, what happened?"
Just then, two middle-aged men dressed in fine clothes walked towards the venue.
One was Yuan Hong, and the other man in a Tang suit was Lou Feng and his brother's father, the head of the Lou family, Lou Tai!
"The two family heads have arrived!"
The crowd was shocked and quickly made way for them.
When Lou Feng saw his father arrive, he immediately explained, "Dad, it was Yuan Fang from their family who wanted to call off the engagement over such a trivial matter. It's not my fault!"
"Oh?" Lou Tai frowned, then smiled and said, "You child, you have no class at all. She's a girl, isn't it normal for her to throw a tantrum or act coquettishly? You actually took it seriously?"
As Lou Tai spoke, he looked at Yuan Fang and said, "Yuan Fang, don't take it too seriously. This brat has been spoiled by me since he was little. Now that we're family, you'll have to teach him a lesson!"
Yuan Fang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lou Feng, and then stopped talking.
At this moment, Yuan Hong also spoke up, smiling and saying, "Brother Lou, my girl has a bad temper, so your family will have to be more tolerant of her in the future!"
"Haha! What young couple doesn't quarrel? They fight in bed and make up in bed, right? That's how we got through it!" Lou Tai laughed, trying to smooth things over.
Everyone knew perfectly well that the two family heads originally intended to form an alliance, and their words were clearly an attempt to give each other a way out.
The old fox was spicier; with this back-and-forth banter, the awkward atmosphere was resolved, and the two young people didn't know what else to say.
They each snorted and turned away.
"Alright, alright, it's getting late, let's take our seats?" Lou Tai suggested.
Yuan Hong nodded, "Brother Lou, please!"
"Together, together!" Lou Tai said, leading Yuan Hong to the main seat.
Yuan Hong then approached Lin Yu with a smile, saying, "Commander Lin, please go first!"
Commander?
Everyone was slightly surprised.
A regimental commander is a high-ranking officer in the military, considered mid-level. And this person is so young; reaching the rank of brigadier general is not impossible!
"Brother Yuan, who is this...?" Lou Tai asked with a slight surprise.
Yuan Hong explained, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you, Brother Lou. This is my son's regimental commander, and also a great benefactor of the Lou family, Regimental Commander Lin!"
"Oh, it's Commander Lin! Thank goodness!" Lou Tai greeted him with a smile, but in his heart he didn't think much of it.
They simply assumed that Yuan Ye had invited his comrades to his home as guests.
Harbin is a key military location, and a regimental commander is enough to make him think highly of him.
After all, the Fengtian Army was full of meritorious people and generals, let alone a mere regimental commander.
However, this kid is still young and has potential, so he shouldn't look down on him.
"Commander Lin, please!" Yuan Hong said with a smile.
Lin Yu nodded, glanced at Wang Jinlian and Jin Bei, and then walked towards the main table.
The group of people took their seats. The banquet officially began.
As the host, Yuan Hong said a few words, which were nothing more than stating the attitudes of both families, mentioning the engagement of the two young people, and some business cooperation, hoping for everyone's support.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yuan and Lou families are determined to join forces. Their combined strength will double, making them twice as effective in the business world.
Moreover, once the two families join forces, they will definitely seize market share on the outskirts of the city, and the other major family, the Ma family, will likely be squeezed out!
Everyone could see that with the Yuan and Lou families joining forces, the decline of the Ma family was only a matter of time.
"Hey, this banquet is quite lively today! You two brothers, your nephew and niece are engaged, such a big event, and you didn't even inform me, Old Ma? Isn't that a bit unfair!"
Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, a teasing voice came from outside.
"It's the head of the Ma family!"
"Boss Ma is here!"
Everyone was surprised, and even some of the more timid people couldn't help but stand up.
That's right, the person who came was none other than Ma Dongcai, the head of the Ma family!
The Ma family, as one of the three major families on the outskirts of the city, is the most powerful. Moreover, everyone knows that Ma Dongcai is ruthless and unscrupulous in his business dealings.
A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow; some smaller families both respected and feared him. They dreaded the day Ma Dongcai would target them, leading to their families' ruin!
In fact, most people present hoped that the Yuan and Lou families would form an alliance to defeat the Ma family as soon as possible and eradicate this cancer!
