Chapter 56: The proposal was successful at the thank you banquet!
Without waiting for Song Qiao to speak, Xie Yanli stood up, took a few steps forward, and stared down at Chen Yang with eyes as cold as ice.
"When she was with you, you didn't know how to cherish her. Now she is with me, and I will never allow anyone to slander her. Chen Yang, you scumbag, I will make you regret every word you said today."
Chen Yang was naturally aware of Xie Yanli's ability and status in Beijing, and he also knew that he would do what he said, but now that things had come to this, he absolutely could not back down.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down because of nervousness. He raised his head slightly, and a nonchalant sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. Then he pretended to be calm and said, "Xie Yanli, I know you have power but no influence, but what kind of ability do you have to use your status to pressure me? I, Chen Yang, am indeed a poor man, but Song Qiao has been with me for six years. If I didn't cheat, she would continue to follow me wholeheartedly and would marry me even if she had to pay for it herself. Can you do that?"
When Xie Yanli heard this, his expression changed instantly, and his hands clenched tightly unconsciously.
Chen Yang naturally noticed his change. He raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Xie Yanli, power can't buy sincerity. The six years that Song Qiao and I have been together are not something you can compare to. Even if she was with you, it was out of revenge for my cheating. You were just a tool for her to vent her anger. She only loved me from the beginning to the end."
Xie Yanli's already cold eyes were instantly ignited by anger. A terrifying aura emanated from his whole body, and his clenched fists turned white due to the force exerted on his knuckles.
His chest rose and fell violently, and he roared in a low voice: "Chen Yang, you are really looking for death."
As he said this, he was about to step down to beat Chen Yang, but the next second his arm was grabbed by Song Qiao.
He thought Song Qiao was worried about Chen Yang, so he turned around and looked at her with anger in his eyes, and their eyes met in an instant.
Song Qiao looked at him and said calmly, "Thank you Yanli. Chen Yang is a complete villain. You shouldn't get angry over him."
Perhaps it was because it was extremely rare for him to see Song Qiao speak to him so gently, and persuade him not to be angry, so the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared, and the expression on his face unconsciously softened a lot.
Chen Yang's groundless accusations and ridicule just now made Song Qiao realize that at this moment, she could only stand with Xie Yanli to slap him in the face and successfully resolve the matter.
No matter what purpose Xie Yanli had in proposing to her, she needed him to save face now. In a word, they were using each other, and she was not at a disadvantage.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Qiao bit her lower lip, raised her voice slightly and said to Xie Yanli: "Xie Yanli, I accept your proposal."
Although her voice was a little hesitant, it was firm.
The expression on Xie Yanli's face froze instantly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Seeing that he didn't make any move, Song Qiao extended her hand to him, and then a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Xie Yanli, are you still asking for this marriage?"
Xie Yanli opened his mouth slightly, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After a few seconds, he reacted, and the surprise in his heart surged like a tide. His eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.
"Really? Song Qiao, did you agree to my proposal?"
Xie Yanli's voice was trembling with an undisguised tremor. At this moment, he was no longer the icy boss who kept people at a distance. He was just like an ordinary man, with uncontrollable joy in his whole body.
Song Qiao smiled and nodded at him: "Xie Yanli, then do you want to help me put on the ring?"
"Of course!"
Xie Yanli half-knelt down in front of Song Qiao again. He held up Song Qiao's hands with slightly trembling hands. His eyes were gentle and focused, and full of piety.
He treated it as if it were a rare treasure. He slowly and solemnly placed the ring on Song Qiao's slender finger and helped her put on the ring that carried so much love.
After he put the ring on firmly, he gently held Song Qiao's hand, lowered his head and gave it an extremely gentle kiss. Then he looked at Song Qiao and said very seriously: "Song Qiao, from now on you and the baby in your belly are everything to me. I will definitely treat you well in the future."
There was a barely perceptible choke in Xie Yanli's voice.
Song Qiao looked at the ring that fit her hand perfectly, and an indescribable feeling was brewing in her heart.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly. At this moment, everyone else seemed to have disappeared and only each other was left in their eyes.
It was not until thunderous blessings rang out from the audience that Song Qiao came to her senses. She noticed that Bai Shuyu and Song Zhiming on the stage were looking at her with complicated expressions.
After thinking for a few moments, she pulled Xie Yanli up and took his arm.
She looked at the audience, including Chen Yang, and shook the ring in her hand at them, pledging her happiness.
When the blessings and applause gradually faded away, Song Qiao looked at Chen Yang and said calmly, "Chen Yang, I misjudged you back then. The six years I wasted on you should be regarded as paying the price for my ignorance and blindness. Fortunately, I can afford to lose."
Chen Yang: “…”
"Regarding your slander, I just want to say that I have a clear conscience towards you. I won't explain too much because I don't want to waste my time and feelings on someone who is not worthy. I hope you will take care of yourself in the future."
Song Qiao's words were powerful and the guests in the audience gave her a thumbs up.
Chen Yang noticed that the look in Song Qiao's eyes when she looked at him was no longer one of tenderness and liking, nor one of disgust and hatred, but one of disregard. She seemed to be telling him that your slander could not hurt me at all, and that you were meaningless to me no longer.
At this moment, he no longer saw any meaning in staying here, so he walked out with his head down and a dazed look on his face.
Xu Qin, who had been waiting at the door, saw him walking out, and she ran to meet him. When she arrived in front of Chen Yang, she grabbed his arm and explained anxiously: "Chen Yang, I... Although I concealed your background, I also raised you, and I am sincere to you, you must..."
Chen Yang looked at Xu Qin, and after a few seconds of silence, he said calmly: "My mind is very confused now. Can you please not talk to me about this for now? I want to be alone and quiet for a while."
After he said that, he tore Xu Qin's hand away and left without looking back.
Xu Qin looked at Chen Yang's back as he left, crying and shouting, "Chen Yang, you were only a few months old when you came to my house. I have worked hard to raise you over the years. You must not be an ungrateful person and abandon me, Chen Yang, do you hear me..."
Xu Qin stopped crying only after Chen Yang disappeared. She looked around and realized that Chen Longtao and Li Qian had quietly slipped away at some point. She walked out of the Marriott Hotel angrily to settle the score with them.
After the episode, Song Zhiming and Bai Shuyu stood up and invited everyone to continue eating. Suddenly, there was a booing sound from the crowd below the stage.
"Mr. Xie, since your proposal was successful, when do you plan to marry Song Qiao?"
