"Uncle, please don't cancel the engagement party. I beg you." Xie Minna pleaded with Mo Han.
"Don't call me uncle, you and Sun Minghao are not married yet." Mo Han's words were a bit hurtful because he had already had a grudge against Xie Minna.
After hearing what Mo Han said, Xie Minna's face turned even paler, and she murmured, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"The person you should say sorry to should be Sun Minghao, not us. I think it's because he knows that you haven't lost your memory?" Luo Yu said his guess lightly.
Xie Minna immediately denied it, saying excitedly, "No, it's not like that. I really lost my memory at the time, but I recovered my memory later. I didn't mean to hide it from him. I just wanted to get along well with him and let him know the real me."
"Have you explained to him what happened two years ago?" Luo Yu asked.
Xie Minna shook her head. "I tried to explain to him, but he wouldn't listen. I really didn't mean to lie to him, so why wouldn't he listen?" Xie Minna burst into tears. "I finally came back from abroad to find him, hoping to get engaged to him. I wanted to be his legitimate fiancée, and I wanted to be the most important person in his future. But now... I really didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Luo Yu and Mo Han just listened and watched quietly.
When Xie Minna thought of the two difficult years she had spent abroad, she couldn't help but cry again.
After a long silence, Luo Yu finally spoke softly, "Sun Minghao has always been bothered by your departure from the country two years ago. If he knew you were in a serious car accident and couldn't come back, he would probably forgive you." Luo Yu already knew about Xie Minna's situation, but since Xie Minna didn't say anything herself, he wouldn't say anything. A person's happiness is something they have to fight for themselves.
Two years ago, Xie Minna had planned to travel abroad, but she was involved in a serious car accident during her trip. She sustained multiple serious injuries, nearly having both legs amputated. Fortunately, she survived, but Xie Minna underwent two years of rehabilitation abroad. Although her injuries and her injured legs have fully recovered, they still have some residual effects, which is why she was easily defeated by Sun Minghao during their last duel.
Xie Minna never wanted Sun Minghao to know about this because she didn't want him to know that she almost became disabled. She also didn't want him to know that she had a head injury and her hair was shaved off, making her too ugly to face people.
Everything would have been fine if she hadn't recovered her memory, or if she had told Sun Minghao the truth after recovering her memory, then none of this would have happened now.
Seeing Xie Minna's sad expression, Luo Yu asked, "Are you ready to give up?"
"Give up?" Xie Minna raised her head and said proudly, "Give up is not a word in my dictionary. Today is the day Minghao and I get engaged. All our relatives are here. How can I give up? Even if Minghao doesn't come back in the end and I'm alone, I will still go on stage. The engagement party will go on as usual."
"What are you really going to do?" Luo Yu couldn't help but frown. He didn't know whether to say that Xie Minna was persistent or stupid. If she did this, it would only make Sun Minghao hate her even more.
"That's right." Xie Minna knew the consequences of doing so, but she still wanted to do it. "In that car accident, I thought I was going to die, and my breathing almost stopped. After closing my eyes, Minghao suddenly appeared in front of me, and I was thinking at the time. I have tried so hard for so long and have not yet gotten engaged and married with Minghao. How can I just leave like this? So in the end I opened my eyes again and persisted until the doctor arrived." The darkness at that time had swallowed up Xie Minna, and Sun Minghao was like her light in the darkness. Without him, Xie Minna would never come back.
It can be said that from that moment on, Sun Minghao had become Xie Minna's obsession. After returning to China, everything she did was just for Sun Minghao. During the time she stayed with Sun Minghao, Xie Minna felt that Sun Minghao also liked her, but perhaps he liked the weak self who had lost her memory and remembered nothing more. But what did it matter? As long as he liked her, it was enough. If she didn't know that he liked her, Xie Minna wouldn't have been so persistent.
Since Xie Minna had already made up her mind, it seemed that no one could persuade her. Luo Yu didn't want to stay here any longer, so he and Mo Han stood up and left the room. Xie Minna was left alone, facing the door and looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking.
When Mo Han and Luo Yu left, they saw Sun Minghao, wearing a white suit, standing outside with his head lowered. Neither Luo Yu nor Mo Han was surprised, as if they had already known Sun Minghao was outside. Mo Han said to Sun Minghao calmly, "Take care of your own affairs." With that, he hugged Luo Yu and left.
After the two left, Sun Minghao slowly raised his head and saw Xie Minna standing by the French window with her back to him through the crack in the door. His eyes flashed. But he didn't go in, instead he turned around and left.
The engagement banquet was about to begin, but Zhou Jiahao and Zhou Jiazhi still couldn't find Sun Minghao. When they saw Luo Yu and Mo Han, they hurried over.
"Luo Yu, what should we do? We've searched everywhere but can't find Brother Hao." Zhou Jiahao felt like Sun Minghao was intentionally trying to take them away.
Zhou Jiazhi also shook his head. "Minghao hasn't shown up yet. I'm afraid there will be trouble at today's engagement party."
"Stop talking, just sit down and don't worry about his affairs." Mo Han didn't want the two of them to continue disturbing Luo Yu.
As soon as Mo Han spoke, Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiahao immediately shut up and returned to the Zhou family's banquet table to sit down. Luo Yu and Mo Han also returned to the Mo family's banquet table and sat down. The engagement banquet on the stage officially began.
Sun Hezhou on the stage was holding up a glass of wine and said to all the guests below: "Today is the engagement day of my son Sun Minghao and Xie Minna, the daughter of the Xie family. Thank you all for coming today. I would like to toast you all here." Mo Wan, who was standing next to Sun Hezhou, also raised his glass.
The people in the audience immediately raised their glasses in response. Soon after Sun Hezhou said a few words, Xie's father also came on stage and said a few words.
After Mr. Xie finished speaking and left the stage, the host said, "Okay, then let's invite our two young newcomers to come on stage." Everyone looked at him expectantly with their eyes fixed on the door at the top of the red carpet.
Soon, the beautiful Xie Minna, wearing a white evening gown, walked out gracefully from the side of the door, but Sun Minghao, who was supposed to be standing next to her, was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Minna raised her chin, stared straight ahead, and slowly walked across the red carpet, step by step, toward the stage. The guests sitting in the audience all showed surprise.
"What's going on? Why is Xiaona alone here? Where is Minghao?" Father Xie asked Sun Hezhou in a low voice.
"This..." Sun Hezhou didn't know what was going on. Could it be that the boy had run away from his marriage? Sun Hezhou quickly asked Mo Wan, "Did you see that brat just now?"
"No." Mo Wan was also a little panicked. Everyone who came today was of high status. If that brat Sun Minghao really ran away from the marriage, it would be a complete loss of face for both families.
The most embarrassed person now is the host. Today's male protagonist did not show up, so how should the next part proceed?
"Well, haha, Mr. Sun didn't show up with Miss Xie. Is he planning to give Miss Xie a surprise that we don't know about, or a unique proposal ceremony?" The host asked Xie Minna tentatively, while leaning over to look at the front door, as if he wanted to see if Sun Minghao would suddenly appear or something.
After hearing what the host said, the people in the audience thought it was true. Sun Hezhou and others were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they were shocked by what Xie Minna said next.
"He won't come. I'm the only one attending the engagement party today. You don't have to guess or wait any longer." Xie Minna looked at the gate with an unfocused look in her eyes.
"What? Then..." The host of the engagement party didn't know what to say for a moment. The male protagonist wasn't coming? What was this? Did the male protagonist run away from the marriage?
Xie Minna's words were like a bomb dropped on the audience, and they immediately started talking.
Mr. Xie, who was sitting at the main table, gnashed his teeth and questioned Mr. Sun, "Old Sun, what's the big deal? My granddaughter and your grandson are engaged, and your grandson didn't come. Does this mean he doesn't agree with the marriage between the two families, so he ran away? If you don't agree, why didn't you make it clear beforehand?"
"Old Xie, don't be so excited. Maybe this kid is late for some unavoidable reason. Maybe he'll be here soon."
Old Master Xie no longer cared about anything and slammed the table and stood up, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Didn't you hear my granddaughter say that the brat wasn't coming? Yes, our Xie family can't compare to your Sun family, but it's not up to you to treat my granddaughter the way you want. This bullshit engagement is canceled, and you can marry whoever you want."
After saying that, Old Master Xie ran up to the stage angrily and pulled Xie Minna over. "Xiao Na, come on, go back with grandpa. I'll find you someone who's ten thousand times better than Sun Minghao and make him mad to death."
Xie's father and mother also stood up, with a grim look on their faces, ready to leave immediately.
"Grandpa, I won't leave." Xie Minna struggled to get away from Old Man Xie and said stubbornly, "Today is Minghao and I's engagement day. Why should I leave? Even if he doesn't come, the engagement ceremony will go on as usual. After today, he, Sun Minghao, will become my, Xie Minna's, legitimate fiancé."
"Xiao Na, what are you talking about? He treats you like this, and you still don't give up?" Mr. Xie said with a disappointed look.
Xie's father also walked onto the stage, preparing to pull Xie Minna off the stage. "Xiao Na, listen to Dad and come back with us. The engagement party is cancelled. You are the only daughter of the Xie family. Are you still worried that you won't be able to get married? Dad will find you someone better later."
"Yes, let's go." Xie's mother and father each grabbed one of Xie Minna's hands and were about to pull her away, but Xie Minna refused to go and struggled, saying, "I don't want to go..."
Knowing they were in the wrong, Old Master Sun and Sun Hezhou and the others quickly tried to persuade him, "Fellow-in-laws, calm down. There must be some misunderstanding."
"Yes, yes, don't be so excited. If there is anything, we can sit down and discuss it slowly."
"My dear relatives, I am very satisfied with Xiaona as my daughter-in-law. I will call that brat right now and bring him back to life even if he dies." Mo Wan said as he took out his cell phone.
"Who are you related to? Stop pretending. There is no way that brat will come." Old Master Xie said to Xie Minna, "Xiao Na, let's go." He would never allow his granddaughter of the Xie family to be treated like this.
"etc……"
