On stage, Fu Xingbai turned to look at Jiang Ziqi, extended his hand to her, and lowered his voice as he approached her, "Fu Ziqi, you'd better obediently accept this marriage."
Jiang Ziqi had completely given up on this man. Her earlier probing was pointless. With a defiant look in her eyes, she asked, "What if I don't?"
Fu Xingbai sneered, "You'll never see your birth mother's grave in this lifetime!"
Jiang Ziqi paused, her black and white eyes filled with suppressed anger and hatred. "Where is my mother's grave?"
Fu Xingbai looked at her and uttered two words, "Marriage alliance."
Jiang Ziqi smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish."
She placed her hand on Fu Xingbai's arm, presenting a picture of father and daughter's affection. She smiled shyly, her face slightly flushed, and she didn't say a word, just like a shy young woman waiting to be married. At this moment, the curtain in front of Gao Qinzhi was pulled open, and he entered everyone's view holding a bouquet of flowers and walked onto the stage.
Zheng Ruofen warmly invited him to stand next to Jiang Ziqi, while she herself remained to Gao Qinzhi's right.
Gao Qinzhi smiled and turned to look at Jiang Ziqi, his eyes asking: What's going on? Why have I been assigned to this again?
Jiang Ziqi looked at him with a smile in her eyes: Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.
But to onlookers, their actions seemed more like "exchanging glances."
Fu Xingbai and Zheng Ruofen were very satisfied with the couple's cooperative attitude.
Gao Qinrong was biting her sleeve. What the heck was going on?!
Hua Ansu: ?
Ziqi softened her heart?
That's impossible.
Were they threatened?
If she lets go of this father-daughter relationship, what threat can her father pose to her?
Hua Ansu quickly recalled what Jiang Ziqi had told her about the thing she hated most about her father: he never told Jiang Ziqi where her birth mother was buried.
Hua Ansu grinds his teeth, how shameless! Using this to threaten his own daughter.
Chen Yiwen tried her best to maintain a smile amidst Zheng Wenwen's gasp and gasp, even though she had said she would change her bad taste...
Other onlookers: Ahhh, they're such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman!
Fu Xingbai continued his speech, "Qin Zhi is a very promising young man of the Gao family. I chose this marriage for Ziqi because I value Qin Zhi's talent and character, and I also hope that the Gao family will treat my daughter well in the future."
Someone muttered below, "None of the Gao family elders are here today. Is this even considered an engagement?"
Tsk, this is such a lack of respect.
Fu Xingbai knew, of course, that the elders of the Gao family hadn't come. He looked at Gao Qinzhi with a kind expression, "Qinzhi, your parents were both generals in Picheng, and they have always protected the safety of Picheng..."
Jiang Ziqi didn't give him a chance to continue being so sympathetic. She pressed down on the microphone, "Lord City Lord, you've made a mistake."
Fu Xingbai was displeased at being interrupted and frowned, "What did you call me?"
Jiang Ziqi bent over.
"Tear—"
The hem of her princess dress ripped apart with a crack, and she threw the torn pieces on the ground. When she looked up again, her eyes held an untamed arrogance that Fu Xingbai had never seen before. "Lord City Lord, if you want a marriage alliance, go and arrange it yourself. Didn't the Hu family's daughter climb into your bed the day before yesterday?" She curled her lips into a playful smile. "You're still vigorous, Lord City Lord."
Zheng Ruofen's expression changed drastically.
Fu Xingbai was furious, "What nonsense are you spouting—"
Another slap came across the face.
Jiang Ziqi reached out and caught it easily, unlike her usual gentle and weak demeanor. "The city lord really likes to solve problems by hitting people."
Her gaze toward him was three parts cold and three parts disdainful, not at all like a daughter's toward her father.
Father?
She has no father.
