If we talk about the recent big news in Kyoto, the first one would be the engagement of the heir of the Mo family. In fact, the engagement is not the main point, the main point is that the person that the young master Mo is engaged to is actually a man.
Among the large families in Kyoto, marrying a son or even a humble daughter-in-law was extremely rare, not to mention the son. After all, there were many conflicts of interest between families. Therefore, when the Mo family sent out the engagement invitation, the upper echelons of Kyoto were shocked.
The engagement banquet was held at the Mohist family. Although it was just an engagement, given the Mohist family's status in Kyoto, there would certainly be a lot of guests coming.
Although the Xie family is also a famous family, it is still a little behind the Mo family. Recently, some things happened in the Xie family, which made Mr. Xie sigh.
"Old man Xie, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but today is Old Man Mo's wedding day, you should at least give him some face, right? Who are you trying to show off your bitter face to?" said an old man sitting next to Old Man Xie.
"Don't criticize him. No wonder he looks like that. His precious granddaughter is in trouble. It's strange that he would be happy." Another old man explained.
"Oh?" The old man next to Mr. Xie, who didn't know the truth, asked curiously, "What happened?"
The old man who knew the truth was interrupted by Mr. Xie, who waved his hand, "Nothing happened, don't say anymore." When he talked about this, Mr. Xie felt depressed. His granddaughter actually forgot about him, the grandfather who loved her so much. She didn't recognize anyone else and only remembered that bad boy. There was nothing more infuriating than this.
Meanwhile, Xie Minna, who always favored flamboyant attire, surprisingly wore a simple white evening gown. But that wasn't the most surprising thing. The most shocking thing was that the usually carefree eldest daughter of the Xie family smiled so gently today. Was she dazzled? Seeing the constant gazes directed at her, her face actually blushed slightly, and she kept leaning closer to Sun Minghao.
Zhou Jiazhi and Zhou Jiahao, who were sitting opposite Sun Minghao, were shocked. Miss Xie was actually shy. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.
"Well, Xiaona, have a glass of juice." Zhou Jiazhi handed a glass of juice to Xie Minna.
"Thank you..." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. It was impossible to associate her with the arrogant and domineering eldest daughter of the Xie family who had a loud voice before.
After accepting Zhou Jiazhi's juice, Xie Minna took a sip and put down the quilt. Xie Minna was actually very beautiful, the kind of bright and flamboyant beauty, but now her flamboyant temperament suddenly changed, and she became an extremely gentle little white flower. The most surprising thing was that there was no sense of disobedience.
"Drink." The next moment after Xie Minna put down the juice, Sun Minghao handed her a glass of warm water.
After drinking the warm boiled water, Xie Minna felt her stomach felt a little better than before. She looked at Sun Minghao gratefully. Because she had eaten too much at noon, her stomach was still a little uncomfortable. So she didn't drink the glass of juice that Zhou Jiazhi handed to her at the beginning. She just touched her lips lightly out of politeness.
"If you don't feel well, don't eat anything later." After saying this, Sun Minghao couldn't help but turn his head. Facing Xie Minna's shy smile, he was really not used to it!
"Yeah, I see." This fiancé was so thoughtful and caring. It seemed like they had a very good relationship before. Thinking of this, Xie Minna couldn't help but lower her head shyly.
Sun Minghao felt even more helpless after seeing this. He would rather Xie Minna return to her previous arrogant and domineering self than to be like this shy mimosa. She blushed and was shy all the time. It was really hard to get used to her!
Actually, this matter was his own fault. If he had not challenged her to a duel a few days ago, nothing would have happened. Of course, Xie Minna herself was also at fault. If she had not provoked him first, the two would not have fought again. But it was strange that after two years, his martial arts skills had improved, but Xie Minna's martial arts skills seemed to have regressed. He accidentally kicked Xie Minna down, and who knew that there was a stone on the ground. Xie Minna's back of the head accidentally hit the stone. When she woke up in the hospital, she had unexpectedly lost her memory.
She had lost her memory, but the strangest thing was that she had forgotten everyone except him, and she remembered him as her fiancé. Her personality had also changed drastically, from a shrewd female Tyrannosaurus to a shy Mimosa. Because she only remembered him, she had been following him around, inseparable, and now lived directly in his house, practically sharing the same room.
Sun Minghao felt that nothing could make him more devastated than this. He had originally wanted to cancel his engagement with Xie Minna, but now, canceling the engagement seemed like a distant prospect. Who knew when this female Tyrannosaurus would remember everything and return to her old self?
In Kyoto, the Bai family and the Zeng family can only be considered second-rate families at best, and at the bottom of the second-rate families.
The head of the Bai family was a very ambitious man. He was unwilling to remain at the bottom of a second-rate family, so he had always wanted to marry into a powerful family. However, his son was still very young, so he could only pin his hopes on his only daughter. Fortunately, his daughter was also very capable. Not only was she beautiful and charming, but she was also very talented. She was sure to find a powerful marriage partner.
The engagement party for the Mo family heir was a prime opportunity. Last time, when Old Master Mo celebrated his 70th birthday, he didn't want to make a big splash, so he only invited the highest-ranking members of the upper class. But this time was different. The number of guests was at least three times that of the 70th birthday party. Even second-tier families like the Bai and Zeng families received invitations. This clearly showed how much the Mo family valued their future son-in-law.
After receiving the invitation, the head of the Bai family felt that his chance had come. He took this opportunity to dress his daughter up beautifully. Maybe she could really attract the attention of the children of those first-class families. It would be even better if she was noticed by the heirs of those first-class families.
In fact, Bai Xiaoxue was resistant to her father's ideas, but she could not disobey her father's wishes. After all, she had always been a good girl in the family. Although she resisted, she could not do anything drastic.
At the banquet, her father had been taking her around the upper-class families, constantly creating opportunities for her to mingle with the young men. Because of his salesmanlike behavior, those people looked at Bai Xiaoxue as if she were a valuable commodity. Bai Xiaoxue even saw disdain in the eyes of some family heirs, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Bai Xiaoxue is indeed beautiful and has a good temperament, but those who are interested in her are only some people from second-rate families, or some lazy prodigals from first-rate families who have no inheritance rights. The heirs who really have the right to inherit the family look down on Bai Xiaoxue and at most they are just interested in her for fun.
In terms of appearance, Bai Xiaoxue wasn't the most beautiful; there were plenty of celebrity models with more striking looks than her. In terms of family background, the Bai family was a second-rate, low-end clan, unlikely to offer much leverage in future power struggles. Furthermore, Bai Xiaoxue herself lacked the potential to merit the attention of the heirs. While her other qualities were considered competent, they weren't exceptional, and she had no talent for business, her most notable being dancing. However, for the heirs, they needed a wife who could provide strong support, manage family affairs, and even handle various issues, not just a dancing veneer.
In addition, the Bai family's unremitting efforts to promote their daughter made people from those big families look down on Bai Xiaoxue.
"Brother Xu, I want to go back first." Seeing her parents trying their best to flatter the people from some big families, Bai Xiaoxue didn't want to stay here any longer. Thinking about the grievances she had just suffered among the children of those big families, Bai Xiaoxue's eyes were red.
"Xiaoxue, I know you've been wronged, but for the sake of the greater good, you should just bear with it for now. I don't know what's going on lately, but our businesses have suddenly run into a lot of problems, as if someone is deliberately suppressing us. Now both of us are short of funds. If we don't find a way to solve it quickly, then both of us will be in trouble." Zeng Xu didn't actually have much to do with his family's business. After all, he still had an older brother to take care of it, and he wasn't very interested in business. However, if something really happened at home, then the rich and beautiful life he was enjoying now would be gone. He hadn't slept well for several nights because of this matter.
"Is it really that serious?" In fact, Bai Xiaoxue knew that there seemed to be some problems with the family business, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
"In fact, it's more serious than you think, Xiaoxue. I advise you not to think about Luo Yu anymore. He is just an ordinary person. You are not from the same world. It is impossible. Look, which of the family children at this banquet is not better than him?" Zeng Xu hated Luo Yu to the core. Because of the incident of reporting the electric pole, he became a laughing stock in the whole school and even brought shame to his own family. He was taught a lesson by his angry father Zeng.
Zeng Xu's vengeful nature meant he wouldn't let Luo Yu off. However, strangely, every time someone was sent to teach Luo Yu a lesson, they were either inexplicably taught a lesson by someone else or disappeared. Zeng Xu, of course, investigated these incidents and discovered that Luo Yu had become friends with Sun Minghao, the eldest son of the Sun family, and the two eldest sons of the Zhou family, and their relationships seemed quite close. Furthermore, the wealthy and beautiful woman who claimed to be Luo Yu's girlfriend was actually the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Rumor had it that the eldest daughter of the Xie family was actually the eldest son of the Sun family, his fiancée.
After finding out, Zeng Xu felt a chill run down his spine. No wonder he couldn't touch Luo Yu; it turned out he had the support of these young masters and young ladies. Knowing Luo Yu's backers, Zeng Xu didn't dare to act rashly, fearing he would anger those young masters and young ladies. This also indirectly revealed that Miss Xie wasn't Luo Yu's girlfriend, and after Bai Xiaoxue learned this, she began to obsess over Luo Yu again.
Is it impossible for her and Luo Yu to be together? Bai Xiaoxue smiled bitterly. Yes, Luo Yu is just an ordinary person. Even if he is good friends with the young masters of the Sun and Zhou families, no matter how handsome he is or how talented he is, it cannot change the fact that he is just an ordinary person.
Zeng Xu was right. He and she were from two different worlds. Her father would not allow her to marry an ordinary man. This was better. No beginning, no harm.
Just as Bai Xiaoxue was feeling sad, there was a sudden commotion up ahead. It turned out to be the two main characters from today's engagement party. Bai Xiaoxue and Zeng Xu both walked forward, wanting to see what kind of person could charm the Mo family's eldest son and gain the approval of these two leaders.
Two figures, one black and one white, walked slowly towards them. The black figure was domineering and cold, while the white figure was elegant and noble, forming a strong contrast, but also extremely harmonious.
The eldest son of the Mo family was known to most of Kyoto's upper-class families. His striking appearance charmed many young women at the time, but unfortunately, the aloof young man was not so easy to approach. However, many people had never seen the aloof young man beside him. His delicate and impeccable features and noble and elegant temperament made him remain calm and composed in front of so many people. It was obvious at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
While many people were sighing at the handsome and aloof young man, Bai Xiaoxue and Zeng Xu's faces turned pale at the same time the moment they saw the boy clearly.
