Huo Yuntang gently swirled the wine in his glass, the shimmering light reflecting the coldness and composure in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll seize this opportunity."
It's already surprising that Xie Ziyuan was able to climb up the social ladder to the Shen family, but for the Shen family to go to such lengths for her, she must be of great value to him.
It was worth suppressing his feelings of love and proposing to her.
Madam Huo stared at Huo Yuntang's face for a moment, quite satisfied with his performance. "This engagement must be finalized today, no matter what!"
She's a woman, so she's quite perceptive and could tell at a glance what kind of feelings Shen Linyuan had for Xie Ziyuan.
On the contrary, Xie Ziyuan was always restrained and polite, and her demeanor was quite dignified, which pleased Madam Huo very much.
Such an outstanding woman, pursued and admired by so many men, ultimately chose to marry her son, which only proves that her son is the most outstanding one.
Madam Huo paused, then lowered her voice, "Think about the Sacred Heart Fruit, think about the Fragrant Heart Soup, and think about your ancient martial arts."
Huo Yuntang's gaze tightened slightly, a flash of anger crossing his eyes, before he relaxed as if nothing had happened, though his fingers still gripped the wine glass tightly. "I know."
This feeling of being controlled by others is extremely unpleasant.
The Shen family gave Xie Ziyuan five Sacred Heart Fruits, but Xie Ziyuan only gave him one.
Huo Yuntang sometimes couldn't help but suspect that Xie Ziyuan did this on purpose, in order to control him and prevent him from having any thoughts of resistance.
He has never liked women who are too assertive. Xie Ziyuan used to have a gentle and unassuming demeanor, but lately, he has realized that perhaps he had underestimated his girlfriend...
Thinking too much is pointless; it's time to finalize the engagement.
Later, guests from all the major families in the capital will gather here. It will be more eye-catching for him to propose at such a grand banquet.
——
Xie Ziyuan wore a haute couture gown and adorned with exquisite jade jewelry, her smile impeccable.
She waited smugly for the guests to arrive, listening to their praises, and felt incredibly happy.
But why are all these guests minor figures? Many of them came from Linjiang City, from insignificant small families.
Even so, the greeters at the door felt that today was a bit too boring—there seemed to be too few people coming!
Chu Xun also felt that there were too few people. The banquet hall was too big, and the two or three people who came were only enough to fill three tables, which looked a bit shabby.
However, he soon realized that important figures always make a grand entrance by arriving a little later.
It doesn't matter, Xie Ziyuan is the winner tonight anyway, and he is proud of her.
Therefore, he specially posted a message on his WeChat Moments, attaching a panoramic photo of the banquet hall.
The photos of the magnificent banquet hall quickly garnered a flood of likes and praises on social media.
Soon, some busybodies asked him on WeChat if he was attending Xie Ziyuan's coming-of-age ceremony at the Imperial Hill Hotel.
Chu Xun, feeling somewhat boastful, casually chatted with this busybody, inadvertently revealing the scale of the banquet and the guest list.
That busybody kept praising Chu Xun, and then turned around and bragged about the information Chu Xun "inadvertently" revealed in other groups.
Many people were envious, and Chu Xun's WeChat kept buzzing with messages.
Chu Xun didn't mind spreading this information more widely on WeChat Moments. There were bound to be a few classmates with mutual WeChat friends, and Xie Li would see it sooner or later.
