After all, she had already suffered enough rumors and gossip before, and she absolutely could not afford to cause any more trouble at this critical juncture.
This engagement party must proceed on time!
However, Wen Huaiyan's attitude was very firm: "I said I'll go later, don't you understand?"
I never expected that my simple, normal remark would elicit such a strong reaction from Wen Huaiyan.
Fu Zhiqing's eyes sharpened noticeably as she asked in surprise, "Huaiyan, what do you mean by this? Aren't you happy about our engagement? Why won't you come with me?"
You know, this was an engagement that Wen Huaiyan himself agreed to. She was overjoyed the day she heard the news. So why does he seem somewhat unwilling now?
Mentioning this matter, Wen Huaiyan's face darkened noticeably, and he became even more agitated. He coldly said, "Isn't it enough that you're happy?"
If things hadn't escalated to this point, and if he didn't cooperate now, he would have been humiliated by the Wen family; he would have preferred to simply walk away.
It's just a pity...
Thinking of the old man's excited appearance that day, a trace of annoyance flashed quickly in his eyes.
If he had known the other party would act so quickly, he shouldn't have agreed out of spite.
Although she was a little angry, she didn't want to further provoke Wen Huaiyan at this moment, lest the situation become even more unpleasant, and for a moment she was at a loss.
Just then, Wen Zhi, noticing that they hadn't come out to greet the guests, came looking for them.
"Brother, Zhiqing, most of the guests have arrived. Why haven't you gone out to greet them yet?"
Seeing Wen Zhi approach, Fu Zhiqing immediately grasped at a straw and hurriedly asked her for help, "Zhizhi, your brother told me to go out by myself first..."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi was somewhat surprised and subconsciously glanced at Wen Huaiyan, only to find that he looked impatient.
The two grew up together. Even if Fu Zhiqing didn't know what Wen Huaiyan meant now, how could Wen Zhi not understand?
I'm afraid my brother will regret it!
To avoid arousing Fu Zhiqing's suspicion and escalating the situation, Wen Zhi rolled her eyes and whispered, "I suddenly remembered that Grandpa seemed to have something to tell you earlier, like he had something to tell you. You should go find him quickly, and then go with my brother to greet the guests later."
Her expression was urgent, and she couldn't help but urge him on as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhiqing was taken aback, but quickly replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."
She was able to marry Wen Huaiyan entirely thanks to his matchmaking efforts.
Therefore, it is imperative to please the old man!
If you can make the other person happy, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to control Wen Huaiyan?
Thinking this, she hurriedly turned around and left.
No sooner had Fu Zhiqing left than Wen Zhi rushed up to Wen Huaiyan and said, “Brother, today is a very important day for the Wen family. You absolutely cannot let us down. You know, if anything goes wrong, it will ruin our family’s reputation.”
She always knew that Wen Huaiyan valued the Wen family's reputation, so she emphasized her words when she spoke.
Wen Huaiyan could easily understand the meaning behind the words, and couldn't help but sneer, pulling at the corners of his mouth as he said, "Today is important to the Wen family, but it seems to be even more important to me."
His tone was cold, and the rejection he conveyed was self-evident.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi was slightly taken aback, and her heart was clearly filled with panic.
It seems he really has some regrets!
But today's scene was something she had to work very hard to convince her grandfather to agree to.
With success just around the corner, she absolutely couldn't let Wen Huaiyan leave at this crucial moment.
Thinking of this, Wen Zhi racked her brains for a moment, and quickly came up with something. She spoke firmly, "Brother, things have come to this. Your engagement with Zhiqing has made headlines everywhere, causing quite a stir. I think Li Ruo must have seen it too. If you choose to leave now, and Li Ruo finds out, she might think you still have feelings for her..."
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone filled with anger: "Do you want to see that woman standing arrogantly in front of you, mocking you? Don't forget, she was the one who chose to leave you first, and she's been having an ambiguous relationship with other men. You don't even have that much of a bottom line, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan's face instantly darkened.
The thought that Li Ruo had chosen other people in front of him more than once made his heart skip a beat, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Yes, why can that woman be entangled with other men, while he still can't let go of her?
All of this... was because Li Ruo gave up first!
Noticing Wen Huaiyan's reaction, Wen Zhi pressed on, saying, "Alright, brother, the banquet is about to start. We can talk about the future later. At least for now, you shouldn't embarrass the Wen family."
Without giving Wen Huaiyan a chance to refuse, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the venue.
