The Chu family members who were walking towards the banquet hall all had expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
Old Master Chu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at his eldest son Chu Fengyue, who was pushing him, and asked with an unpleasant expression, "What's going on?"
Today's scene was even more spectacular than the one when Wei Zishu and Xiao Yuruo got engaged. If something went wrong at this moment, it would become a laughingstock for everyone. The Chu family didn't want to become another Wei family.
The reason the Chu family was willing to marry into the Wei family wasn't because they thought the Wei family was profitable, but because, given Chu Dingxuan's situation, marrying a well-matched daughter of a wealthy family was truly exceptional. If he missed out on Wei Ziqing, he wouldn't be able to find anyone better.
After being frustrated with Xiao Qingran, the Chu family set their sights on Wei Ziqing. Wei Ziqing had a simple personality, and Mrs. Chu was very fond of her.
The Wei family, oppressed by the Lu family, was unable to raise their heads. At this moment, the Chu family let out a whistle, and the Wei family immediately understood what was going on. Coincidentally, Wei Ziqing had returned at this time. The two families came together, cut the Gordian knot, and quickly reached a consensus.
Except for Chu Dingxuan himself, the entire Chu family fully supports Wei Ziqing marrying into the Chu family.
If something unexpected happened to the Wei family at this time, the Chu family would lose face.
Unlike before, the Chu family is now the head of the four major families and has more to do with face.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll go over and see what's going on."
Mrs. Chu relied on her excellent social skills and quickly came in front of the three heads of the Wei family.
Madam Wei, feeling guilty, dared not meet Madam Chu's gaze. Wei Zishu remained indifferent, aloof from the matter. The head of the Wei family forced a smile and greeted Madam Chu.
"Where's Qingqing? Why isn't our heroine tonight here?"
Mrs. Chu's smile was as beautiful as a flower. Although she was old, she had taken good care of herself, and her smile still had a certain charm. The head of the Wei family opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain Wei Ziqing's disappearance to Mrs. Chu.
He hadn't intended to embarrass himself.
But if we really let the Chu family down, the consequences will be even more serious.
Now facing Mrs. Chu's questioning and the questioning looks of everyone present, Patriarch Wei was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.
"Wei Ziqing is not coming, right?"
Someone muttered quietly.
Then everyone started discussing in low voices in groups of three or five.
Originally, when the Wei and Chu families got married, many people were watching the joke and waiting for the show to happen in private.
Now there is another big news on the scene, how can we not be excited.
"Master Wei, it was your family who came to us and asked for a marriage between our two families. Why is your family making such a fuss at this critical moment?"
Mrs. Chu deliberately raised her voice so that everyone present could hear it.
She wanted to tell everyone that it was the Wei family who begged the Chu family. Now that Wei Ziqing wasn't here, everything was the Wei family's fault. Even if there was going to be a joke, it should be the Wei family.
"Xiao Wei, today is my grandson's engagement day. It's not easy for me to come out at my age. What's going on? If there are any difficulties, let's work together to find a solution."
Chu Fengyue pushed Old Man Chu in front of Patriarch Wei. Old Man Chu stared at Patriarch Wei fiercely, wanting him to give an explanation to the Chu family and all the guests present.
"I'm sorry, old man. Qingqing disappeared suddenly. We searched for her all day but couldn't find her."
The head of the Wei family knew that he was in the wrong and apologized without hesitation.
The crowd was shocked.
Wei Ziqing disappeared at the critical moment?
Everyone couldn't help but start talking again.
Old Master Chu glared at Patriarch Wei with a grim expression. "It was your family that originally requested this marriage. Now that the bride is missing, how can you tell me how this marriage can still be arranged? Why didn't you tell us in advance so we could help look for her?"
Faced with Mr. Chu's anger, Patriarch Wei lowered his head like a grandson, repeatedly apologizing, feeling extremely miserable.
How dare he tell the Chu family in advance?
It has come to this now. If I had said it earlier, I would have been drowned in the Chu family's spit.
"As a father, don't you know where your daughter is going? I don't think you've made any effort to look for her!"
Old Master Chu glared at Patriarch Wei again, then turned to look at Luo Jiuyan who was following behind him: "Xiao Yan! You have a wide network of contacts, can you help find Wei Ziqing?"
When everyone saw this scene, they all looked at Luo Jiuyan.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and asked around to find out who this handsome, elegant man was. They didn't care whether the party could go on or not.
Luo Jiuyan nodded: "Okay, Grandpa. Please wait a moment, I'll make a call."
Seeing this, Lu Beizhe, who was standing not far from Xiao Qingran, walked over to her and whispered to her, "Will he find out?"
Xiao Qingran smiled meaningfully: "What is there to check?" Luo Jiuyan already knew that Wei Ziqing was with her.
Wang Hengzhi quickly asked in a low voice: "Is this the good show you were talking about?"
Lu Beizhe looked at the two of them, asking with his eyes, what's going on?
Why are these two people saying such strange things?
"Cousin, don't be impatient, this is just the beginning."
As soon as Xiao Qingran finished speaking, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open with great force.
The two staff members checking the invitations at the door immediately stood up and extended their hands respectfully.
But the man pushed the two staff members away with an arrogant look on his face and was about to rush forward.
Two staff members stopped her and wouldn't let her in.
"Get out of my way! Do you know who I am? I'm Chu Dingxuan's future wife. I'm pregnant with her child. If you accidentally bump into me and anything happens to the child, you'll be jailed for life!"
The two staff members were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they quickly stepped back, fearing that if something happened to the woman in front of them, she would blame them.
"Who is this?"
Many people heard what the woman said and looked over with gossipy expressions.
When Wei Zishu saw this woman appear, the corners of his mouth curled up and he became extremely excited.
"What's going on here?"
Old Master Chu stared sharply at the woman who was slowly approaching them.
At this time, Luo Jiuyan had also finished his call.
He just gave an order, asking his subordinates to help find Wei Ziqing.
Patriarch Li, in the crowd, felt a sense of unease when he saw his granddaughter suddenly appear. However, since he and Mo Yan were strangers, he didn't dare openly speak to her in front of so many people. He was so anxious that he almost had a heart attack.
"Why are you here?"
When Chu Dingxuan saw Mo Yan, he had a bad feeling.
He quickly walked up to Mo Yan and stopped her.
"If I don't come, the baby in my belly will be illegitimate. No matter what, I have to fight for a legitimate identity for my child. What do you think, father?"
Mo Yan looked at Chu Dingxuan provocatively. "You want to get engaged to another woman and abandon me? Stop daydreaming. I, Mo Yan, am making this clear today. If anyone dares to marry Chu Dingxuan, I will go to her house and commit suicide. I will make her family suffer forever."
