Chapter 352 If I had to say, it would be that I am not worthy.
This was something they had agreed upon beforehand.
I plan to announce it at a suitable time.
The best time to announce it is at the opening banquet.
I was originally thinking of waiting a little longer.
But recently, they have all clearly sensed an undercurrent.
That undercurrent seemed to want them to stay apart.
They wanted to divide them.
Regardless of the Huo family's meetings.
He kept finding fault, even going so far as to provoke Xu Qinxin, all of which only recently came to light.
These things never happened when Huo Yanmo pursued Shi Nian in a high-profile manner and proposed to her in public.
This all happened recently.
Since that's the case, why not announce the wedding date?
If they get anxious, they'll give themselves away. They have to find the person hiding in the shadows!
Their plans will not change because of the Lu family.
Shi Nian looked up at the second floor. When she went on stage, she had already arranged for the Lu family elders to be sent away.
In this way, both goals can be achieved.
Turning her gaze away, Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo standing over there, a smile in her eyes.
Huo Yanmo smiled and nodded, walking down from the second floor step by step until he reached Shi Nian's side.
The two of them standing together looked like a perfect couple at that moment.
"This is a decision made jointly by Niannian and me." Huo Yanmo held Shi Nian's hand tightly and said, "I hope everyone can attend our wedding."
The scene was absolutely electrifying.
"They just announced their engagement like that? Are they really getting married?"
"I can't believe it! I thought they were just dating!"
"Would the Huo family agree? After all, Shi Nian..."
The scene was filled with discussion, and flashes of light from cameras filled the air.
The paparazzi were also constantly live-streaming.
The online comments were refreshing rapidly.
"Isn't Shi Nian a second-hand commodity? How can she be worthy of Huo Yanmo?"
"Yeah, I thought they were just playing around before. They talked about proposing and stuff, but they were just dating."
"Shi Nian has nothing, but Huo Yanmo is the president of Huo Corporation. What makes her so special?"
"I suspect that Shi Nian is someone who likes to rely on men. She's a pampered wife. She followed Lu Yanzhi when she had nothing, and now she's even more so. She just got divorced not long ago and is about to marry Huo Yanmo. Is she unable to live without men?"
...
Amidst the clamor of online discussion, someone in the shadows sent a message to another person.
Then, a fearless man stepped forward.
He said, "Shi Nian, I have a question for you."
Shi Nian smiled and looked at the other person: "Ask away."
The man held the microphone, and everyone in the room was watching him.
"I want to ask, are you worthy?" This is a very direct, even insulting, statement.
Everyone present was shocked.
That's how you ask it?
Who is this person?
Although they all felt that Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo's actions were very sudden, no one dared to slap Shi Nian in the face in public like that!
Everyone immediately looked at Shi Nian.
But Shi Nian's face remained smiling, unchanged.
"Please be more specific," Shi Nian even urged him to continue.
The man got even more excited and pointed at Huo Yanmo standing next to Shi Nian.
"Shi Nian, you have nothing, so why should you marry Huo Yanmo!" he said. "You hooked up with Lu Yanzhi before, and now that you've divorced Lu Yanzhi, you've climbed up to Huo Yanmo!"
This statement was even more pointed.
Shi Nian's smile grew even wider.
She was still waiting, waiting for the man to continue.
The man seemed determined to shatter Shi Nian's smile, so he said loudly, "You chose to announce your marriage on the same day as your business opening, is it so that you can use this scandal to tell everyone that you have Huo Yanmo backing you up!"
"Hahaha, Shi Nian, you're not scared, so you want to tie yourself and Huo Yanmo together so everyone knows you're the future Mrs. Huo, and then use your connections to get in on the scene, right?"
"Shi Nian, this isn't the entertainment industry; you can't survive by creating scandals!"
The man spoke with a firm and resounding voice that echoed throughout the hall through the microphone.
Everyone was stunned.
"This person is too outspoken." This was the consensus of everyone present, whether they were there in person or watching the live stream online.
And then there's the question—"How should Shi Nian answer?"
All eyes were now on Shi Nian.
However, Shi Nian was not affected in any way.
She held the microphone, a polite smile on her face.
"Thank you for raising these questions," Shi Nian said softly, scanning everyone present. "I think many of you share the same thoughts."
This is also why Shi Nianrang said it.
It's better to have someone ask you directly than to gossip behind your back.
As long as it's brought up, she can respond openly and honestly.
Shi Nian's gaze swept around the scene before settling on the man's face.
She said, "First of all, I don't need your permission to marry whomever I want."
"Then."
Shi Nian shifted her gaze from the man's face to everyone present.
"This is also what I most want to say to everyone today."
Shi Nian's smile was confident and appropriate.
"I will prove myself in these days."
She said, "What I said at the beginning was not just empty talk."
“Any words can be seen as sophistry, but solid achievements and real abilities cannot be refuted.”
"Give me time, and I will let everyone see..."
"I, Shi Nian, am determined to revive the Shi family!"
As Shi Nian spoke, the light shone on her, revealing a calm and confident expression on her face. Her eyes were clear and bright, without a trace of humiliation or stage fright.
At this moment, she was the center of everyone's attention!
Many people at the scene had dreams of the stars and the sea in their hearts, and were thus inspired.
I don't know who started it, but someone started clapping.
"Clap clap clap..."
The applause was deafening.
It took quite a while for the situation to calm down.
The man who stepped forward looked very unwell.
He continued to argue, "But you just cling to Huo Yanmo..."
Huo Yanmo picked up the microphone from the side.
He smiled at the other person and said softly, "My guest, I think you have a misconception."
"You're making it sound like I, Huo Yanmo, am a fool."
"It's as if I'd just... obediently fall for someone's lie?"
"To be manipulated by others?"
The people present couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This was a brilliant statement, and it drew another round of applause.
The man still tried to put on a brave face.
But Huo Yanmo continued.
"You mean Niannian is trying to climb up to me? Clinging to me?"
"Sorry, you've got the relationships backwards. I'm the one clinging to her."
Huo Yanmo said with a smile, "I think the whole of City A still remembers the gossip about how I was obsessed with Niannian back then, right?"
"Now I'll respond to this gossip."
Huo Yanmo nodded, and said seriously, "It's true, I was the one who chased after Niannian relentlessly, fighting and snatching her away."
The man opened his mouth in surprise.
Huo Yanmo raised his head and looked at everyone:
"I love Shi Nian. Our decision to get married is a well-thought-out one. Please stop saying things like whether we are a good match or not."
"If I had to say something, it would be that I am not worthy."
