Chapter 25: The Li Family Comes to Propose Marriage
Li Zhengyun patted Li Xin on the shoulder and introduced her to everyone, "Everyone, I think many people have never seen my little daughter. This is my little daughter, Li Zhengyun - Li Xin.
She was in poor health recently and has been recuperating abroad for a while. She just came back to China this year. Come, Xiaoxin, say hello to all the uncles and aunts."
This was the explanation that the Li family had thought of long ago. Although everyone present basically knew that the Li family had taken the wrong child, this kind of thing could not be brought to the table for discussion.
So Li Xu only told everyone that Li Xin was currently recuperating abroad and would return this year, without mentioning Li Ran at all.
Although this is not for the reputation of the Li family, in the final analysis, it is more for Li Ran.
Li Ran's mother knew very well how much these wealthy families cared about bloodline inheritance. They might change other people's thoughts behind their backs, but at least on the surface, they would not allow Li Ran to be talked about.
Li Xin stood in front of Li Ran and greeted everyone proudly, not caring at all about what Li Ran said when he introduced her. After today, Li Ran would lose all face anyway.
"Hello, uncles, aunts, and sisters-in-law. I am Li Xin, the daughter of the Li family. Please take good care of me from now on."
Li Xin was not at all stage-frightened. She smiled and nodded to everyone present, then walked behind Li Xu.
Li Yu's voice became excited and proud, "Now, besides the big event of my daughters' wedding ceremonies, I have something else to announce.
Hahaha, my daughter, Li Ran, won the top spot in Jingcheng in this year's college entrance examination. Hahaha, from now on, my Li family will have two top scorers in one subject!"
Everyone felt that this sounded familiar. When Li Qing won the top spot in the imperial examination, Li Zhengyun also boasted about it at the wedding ceremony. Hearing it again today, everyone felt helpless and envious.
As Li Xu finished speaking, Li Ran smiled sweetly at the people below and once again captured the hearts of many boys.
Today's wedding ceremony is divided into two stages. First, after Li Xu's opening speech, everyone will disperse to have fun and have afternoon tea.
Second, before dinner, the guests will present gifts to the guests and watch the hosts prepare cakes. After dinner, they can leave.
So after Li Xu's opening speech, everyone went around looking for fun. Li's house was big, so there was absolutely no problem accommodating so many people to have fun together.
The weather was hot and the middle-aged people were not as energetic as the young people, so they were all chatting with people they knew in the banquet hall.
A young boy with dyed pink hair found his mother and son sitting and talking in the banquet hall.
"Dad, Mom!" This person is the second son of the Zhang Construction Group in Jingcheng. Although the financial strength of the Zhang family is far inferior to that of the Li family, it is also a well-known family in Jingcheng.
Zhang Erzi was one of the people who had been discussing with his friends in the corner about marrying Li Ran. He was worried that his bad friends would get there first, so he couldn't wait to go find his parents.
Zhang Erzi was the late-born son of Mr. Zhang and his wife, so they doted on him very much.
"Dad! Mom! I want to marry Li Ran. Please come to my house and ask for marriage!"
Mrs. Zhang covered her mouth in surprise and whispered to her son, "Xiaobao, don't you know? Li Ran is not a biological child of the Li family..."
