Chapter 288 Fortunately I made it
"Phew, luckily we made it!"
Wen Yang patted his chest and gasped.
Yu Tian glanced around, gestured to the two of them, and the three of them walked towards the table that was not full.
In order to avoid being recognized, Fang Li wore sunglasses.
Today, not only industry leaders came, but also many well-known artists from Yaoxing. She sat down with great temperament, and people around her glanced at her sideways several times, thinking that she was also a star. For a moment, no one connected her with the person who had been making a lot of noise on the Internet in recent days.
Sheng Qianrui was still standing on the stage.
Seeing her like that, Wen Yang felt a little sympathetic towards her.
"Why is she doing this? She knew Han Xi wouldn't show up, yet she still deceived herself and put herself in this embarrassing situation. Even if this engagement party is recognized by the world, there's still the wedding to come. Is she planning to lie as well?"
Yu Tian didn't interrupt or express any opinions. He just followed them to protect their safety.
Fang Li curled her lips, her sunglasses covering her eyes so her expression couldn't be seen.
"Who knows, maybe it's just obsession."
Wen Yang shook her head in confusion, "You are a daughter of a wealthy family, yet you are so humble."
As the two were talking, someone else finally went up on the stage.
The two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, were Han Ming and Sheng Jinghui.
As Han Xi's father and the former chairman of Han Group, Han Ming's arrival undoubtedly allowed those present to find a new interview subject.
"Director Han, may I ask where President Han is? The ceremony has already begun, why hasn't he appeared yet?"
"The announcement of the marriage between the two families was made through the official Han family account, and I've never seen President Han personally acknowledge it. Mr. Han, is President Han aware of this? Or is this an arranged marriage privately decided by both parents?"
"Please answer, Mr. Han!"
"Director Han, will President Han come today?!"
.......
A dark light flashed across Han Ming's eyes, and a kind smile appeared on his face: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment!"
After he spoke, the people below finally calmed down a bit.
Although some people were still whispering, at least the most excited media reporters had calmed down.
They crowded in front, holding cameras and facing the people on the stage.
Han Ming: "This marriage was indeed decided by both parties' parents."
In an instant, there was a whisper of discussion below.
"What era is this? They're still playing with arranged marriages!"
"It turns out that wealthy families are worse than ordinary people. They can't even decide their own marriages. No wonder President Han hasn't shown up. Could it be that he simply doesn't want to?"
As soon as these words were spoken, more and more people became skeptical.
Han Ming immediately smiled and said, "However, of course the two children have feelings for each other. If they don't want to, we, as elders, naturally can't forcefully make the decision for them."
After he finished speaking, someone immediately asked, "If that's the case, what about President Han?"
"Yeah, if he's willing, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Han Ming: "Regarding this matter, I do need to give you an explanation. Of course, the most important thing is to give Qian Rui an explanation."
"Qian Rui, this happened suddenly. I just received the news. Xiu Jin may not be able to make it back."
Sheng Qianrui's eyes flickered slightly. Although she had known for a long time that this was all an act, her face still showed a bit of surprise.
Han Ming patted her shoulder apologetically, then turned to the audience and said, "A few days ago, some problems arose with our Han Corporation's overseas project, and Xiu Jin went abroad to deal with it. I thought I would be back on time, so I scheduled the engagement party for today. Who would have thought..."
He sighed helplessly, "This matter is quite serious. If it is not handled properly, it will likely affect our Han Group's overseas market. As the chairman and general manager of Han Group, Xiu Jin naturally cannot withdraw at this time because of his own personal affairs."
"As the Vice President of Han Corporation, I understand his responsibility to prioritize his career, but as a father, I cannot forgive him for leaving his fiancée here alone!"
After Han Ming's smooth speech, the doubts on the faces of the people below gradually disappeared, and they all cast sympathetic eyes towards Sheng Qianrui.
Han Ming continued, "Fortunately, Xiu Jin is not a tactless person. Even though he couldn't make it back, he still sent a generous gift to Qian Rui."
Sheng Qianrui suddenly looked surprised.
Han Ming smiled and waved to the people backstage, and soon someone came up with a box.
Han Ming took it and handed it to Sheng Qianrui.
"Qian Rui, this is something Han Xi prepared specially for you. Open it and take a look."
Sheng Qianrui's eyes were filled with surprise. She hesitated for a moment and raised her hand to take it.
The box slowly opened, and the camera on the stage immediately gave a close-up. In an instant, gasps were heard one after another in the banquet hall.
“Oh my God!”
"What a huge diamond ring!"
"So beautiful! As expected of President Han!"
"Oh my god, Sheng Qianrui is so happy! If someone gave me such a big diamond ring, I would be willing to get engaged, even if they didn't come to get married!"
.......
Sheng Qianrui was also shocked.
She looked up at Han Ming in surprise. It was obvious that she didn't know anything about the diamond ring either.
Her heart tightened instantly, and she couldn't help but wonder, could it really be Han Xi...
Facts have proven that some people have been deceiving themselves for so long that even they themselves cannot tell what is true and what is false.
"he......."
"Don't say that. Xiu Jin couldn't make it back, so he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. This diamond ring is his apology gift, and of course, it also represents his friendship for you."
Fang Li looked at the diamond ring on the electronic screen in front of her. It was almost the same size as the pigeon egg-shaped ring that Han Xi gave her when she and Han Xi got married.
Han Ming is really generous. He is willing to use such real props even for a fake play.
Seeing that public opinion was being reversed and everyone's suspicion turned into deep envy, Sheng Jinghui also stood up in time.
"Qian Rui, a man should focus on his career. Han Xi's inability to return in time is also for the sake of your future life. As his fiancée, you should be understanding."
Han Ming: "Don't worry, even if he can't come back, after today, you will be the daughter-in-law recognized by our Han family. As for the ceremony, at worst, we can wait for him to come back and let him make it up to you!"
The two of them talked and sang, and soon the situation was completely reversed.
The emcee finally reacted at this time and came out with the microphone with a happy face to smooth things over.
"Although the absence of the male protagonist makes this ceremony less than perfect, who says that the missing part is not a lingering interest? Let us look forward to Mr. Han returning and completing the rest in private with Miss Sheng. Now, I declare the engagement ceremony..."
"etc!"
A cold voice came from the corner, interrupting the host's final announcement.
Just as everyone looked over there, looking for the person who spoke, a roar came from outside.
Then, noisy voices and footsteps filled the entire corridor.
Someone shouted, "Oh my God! Look!"
