Chapter 55 Engagement Party
The banquet was held in the Western style buffet style, so the long tables had already been set up, and there was a platform in front of these tables, which was where the engagement ceremony would be held.
There is a huge screen behind the platform, playing soothing songs, and occasionally flashing photos of Jiang Runan and Shen Xing.
There were also words of blessing underneath the photo.
On both sides of the platform there is a row of seven-tiered goblets and three rows of red wine, all of which are to be used for the engagement ceremony later.
In addition to these, there are also balloons and other decorations. Among the balloons, there are flowers and sparkling crystals.
Beyond this platform, the stairs at the back have also been re-arranged. The red carpet is spotless, and small red lanterns are specially placed on the handrails of the stairs. In short, everything is festive.
All the guests had bright smiles on their faces. Some of them were greeting and chatting with each other in groups of three or five, while others were constantly saying congratulations to the Jiang family.
Soon the host came on the platform and presided over the engagement ceremony according to the normal procedures.
Xu Yangyang sat on a chair and watched Jiang Linan and Shen Xing exchanging engagement rings. At this moment, her heart suddenly felt a pang.
No, I shouldn’t think like this. I have already decided to let go, and this is a relief for me. I should be happy!
Xu Yangyang warned herself in her heart.
At this time, Jiang Lan had finished greeting her friends, and then she kept looking around with her peripheral vision, actually looking for Xu Yangyang's figure.
Soon she saw Xu Yangyang sitting on the east side.
Humph, don’t think that I can’t notice you just because you sit in this corner.
She is dressed so seductively today, how can she be worthy of my second brother!
Even at this time, he still painted himself like a fairy!
As Jiang Lan walked towards Xu Yangyang, she was secretly complaining in her heart.
She deliberately sat next to Xu Yangyang and then spoke.
"Look how happy my second brother and Shen Xing are. They are a perfect match."
"Look, they have received so many blessings. Aren't they happy too?"
Jiang Lan didn't want to get an answer from Xu Yangyang at all, but just wanted to deliberately annoy Xu Yangyang.
She said a lot of bland words, but Xu Yangyang didn't say a word at all and ignored everything she said.
After the host announced the successful engagement of the two parties, Jiang Linan and Shen Xing came down from the platform and communicated with all their relatives and friends.
At this time, Jiang Lan had no intention of going to Jiang Runan. Instead, after seeing Jiang Runan walk away, she looked at some people walking back and forth, and she deliberately raised her voice.
"You're dressed so flamboyantly today. You must have thought that these people are either rich or noble, and there are quite a few big businessmen among them, so you must have had some ideas."
"No wonder. With your pretty face like a vase and no real talent, you're hoping to hook up with a rich man."
"Would you like me to introduce you to some people? I think Boss Zhao over there is quite good. Even though he's almost fifty, he just got divorced not long ago."
Several people sitting nearby heard Jiang Lan's words. Some of them looked at Xu Yangyang out of the corner of their eyes, while others looked at her in surprise.
Some people were discussing in low voices.
"Why do they invite everyone to the Jiang family's engagement party? This woman is indeed beautiful and has a pair of seductive eyes, but it seems inappropriate to seduce someone in this place."
A bald man heard his friend talking next to him and said nonchalantly.
"There's nothing wrong with that. Haven't you heard of a professional term called socialite? People like them attend various banquets. The purpose, of course, is to hook rich men."
"People like this are like toads on the feet. The Jiang family cannot drive them away. Besides, with such a beautiful woman, attending the banquet will attract a lot of attention."
"If that boss really fell in love with a woman like this, maybe both the boss and the woman would thank the Jiang family in the future. But I never expected that this woman might look coquettish on the surface, but she is actually the same person inside."
When the friend heard what the bald man said and saw that the bald man was still looking at Xu Yangyang, he couldn't help but smile and said.
"I wonder how you could have such an idea? Do you want me to ask for you? I'll cover for you on your sister-in-law's side. It shouldn't be a problem to play around occasionally."
"But I advise you to be careful. A charming woman like this, once she hooks up with someone, is likely to be like a dog-skin plaster. It's easy to hook up with someone, but it's not easy to get rid of them."
The bald man looked at Xu Yangyang, then swallowed and shook his head slowly. He really had this idea, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of it.
Jiang Lan saw the surprised looks from these people, and occasionally heard their whispers. Seeing that she had achieved her goal, she became even more excited and humiliated Xu Yangyang again.
"You know what, with the way you're dressed today and your pretty face, you've really achieved your goal."
"Look, those bosses are all looking at you. Can you take the initiative? Don't think you can have any relationship with my second brother. You'd better give up this idea and quickly choose another target here."
"I'm telling you, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never find it again. If you want to hook up with someone, you'll have to go to bars and clubs. The people there aren't as high-end, and they don't have as much money as these bosses!"
"Thank you for your kindness, but you should keep these things for yourself!" Xu Yangyang couldn't help but retorted.
Jiang Lan never thought that Xu Yangyang would dare to contradict her. She was immediately furious and said a lot of insulting words. However, Xu Yangyang had already treated Jiang Lan's words as dog fart and was too lazy to pay attention to such a person, so she stood up and walked away.
Anyway, the banquet had already started and many people were eating and chatting with friends, so there was no need for Xu Yangyang to stay in her seat.
Jiang Lan was so angry that she couldn't continue to chase Xu Yangyang and get angry, so she pulled a few good friends together and secretly discussed how to use other methods.
Then several young people pointed fingers at Xu Yangyang. Of course, this was all arranged by Jiang Lan, who wanted to spread rumors and tell them to the guests.
