As the music began, the two walked hand in hand onto the dance floor.
The stunned people finally came to their senses, looked at each other, and joined the dance floor, though their emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
What happened to the birthday party? It looks more like an engagement party.
Moreover, this man doesn't seem to be from Ancheng, and we don't know who he is.
People exchanged glances, speculating amongst themselves.
But until the dance ended, no one knew Fu Jingheng's identity or his relationship with Qin Sheng.
The dance music started again.
It was already past six o'clock, and the guests should have all arrived by now. However, some observant people noticed that the banquet hall doors were still wide open, showing no sign of closing.
Could it be that some people haven't arrived yet?
Just then, several figures appeared in the direction of the stairs, heading towards the banquet hall without stopping.
The leader was an elderly man, flanked by a man in a wheelchair and a dignified and elegant woman; all of them looked unlike ordinary people.
"That's... Patriarch Fu... Patriarch Fu?!"
In the silence, a gasp suddenly rang out from somewhere, snapping everyone out of their confusion and causing them to huddle together in hushed tones.
"Patriarch Fu...which Patriarch Fu?"
"Who else could it be? There aren't many people with the surname Fu in China. The only one who can be called the head of the Fu family is probably the one from Tiandu."
"You mean the Fu family, the most powerful family in Tiandu?"
Some people nodded with a knowing look on their faces.
To be honest, not many people present had actually seen Fu Zhuoyuan, but those who could attend the Qin family banquet were basically from the most powerful families in Ancheng. Even if they hadn't seen him in person, many people had seen his photos, so quite a few people recognized Fu Zhuoyuan.
Not to mention that Fu Zhuoyuan was accompanied by Fu Jingyuan.
Compared to Fu Jingheng, who has only been back in the Fu family for a short time and rarely appears in public, Fu Jingyuan, who was once groomed as an heir and is extremely outstanding, is the most famous member of the Fu family.
Moreover, the sign of being disabled in both legs is quite obvious.
After discussing it, everyone quickly confirmed that the person who came was indeed the old patriarch of the Fu family, his eldest grandson Fu Jingyuan, and his granddaughter Fu Xian.
But... why is this group of people here?
Does the Qin family have connections with the Fu family?
Before anyone could figure it out, several more figures appeared at the staircase.
The people who came this time were much more familiar to everyone.
It is mainly because it can often be seen in CCTV's news live broadcasts, various academic journals, and even books at different stages.
Wei Zhenyun, Wen Renhe, Sun Wenyi, Ge Shaochuan.
A leading figure in China's scientific research community.
Each of them, taken individually, is someone to be looked up to. And now, the four of them appeared here together, not to mention that they were accompanied by several equally prestigious scientists.
People were stunned by the sudden appearance of these two groups of people.
However, it wasn't over yet. One group of people after another appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall and entered the banquet hall in turn.
Wen family: Wen Shiyun, Wen Muyun, Lu Ningyuan.
Song family, Song Yi, Song Yu, Song Yan.
Academic Association: Lin Sihe, Feng Fuquan, Dong Jingzhang.
There were also some young men and women whose identities were unknown, but who also exuded an extraordinary aura.
In short, each of them is a heavyweight figure.
Representatives of various factions in Ancheng said that they had met all the big shots they would ever meet in their lifetime today!
It's just a birthday dinner, why make such a fuss!
Not to mention the others, even Qin Sheng, the protagonist, was stunned.
Her gaze swept over the familiar figures, then over her eldest brother, second brother, and third brother who had returned at some unknown time, before finally settling on Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming.
Finally, belatedly, I realized something was wrong.
She turned to look at the man in front of her, her red lips slightly pursed: "The person you invited?"
Fu Jingheng cleared his throat and said, suppressing his emotions, "To be precise, it's me and your parents."
Qin Sheng couldn't help but glance at Qin Zheng and Gu Yueming again, vaguely guessing what was going on, but feeling it was unlikely.
He simply asked directly, "What do you want?"
Fu Jingheng looked at her intently, then slowly released his grip on her waist.
The lights in the room gradually dimmed, leaving only a soft melody playing continuously.
Tranquil and beautiful.
In the darkness, Qin Sheng saw the man in front of her slowly bend his knees, and finally kneel down on one knee in front of her.
A beam of bright light fell upon him, illuminating the man's naturally handsome face and the silver-white diamond ring in his hand that reflected a dazzling light.
Qin Sheng heard the man's soft murmur, gentle and restrained, yet it lingered in her heart.
Fu Jingheng said, "Sheng Sheng, I'm worried."
Qin Sheng: "...I'm only eighteen."
Fu Jingheng pursed his lips, a low chuckle escaping his throat, and said, "So, how about we get engaged first, and give each other a formal status?"
Oh, an engagement.
Qin Sheng's ears turned a light red. She subconsciously looked at her parents and brothers, but saw that they were just watching quietly, and no one came up to object.
It's obvious they knew about it beforehand.
She was curious: "How did you convince my parents and brothers?"
Fu Jingheng: "Of course, we should appeal to their emotions and reason with them."
Qin Sheng: "..."
He replied expressionlessly, "Speak like a human being."
Fu Gouzi immediately became obedient.
He honestly replied, "I told them that you and I can both live forever."
