"It just won't work!"
"Dad, do you expect me and Xiaomai to kneel on the ground and beg you?"
At this moment, Zou Mai tugged at Che Ziming's sleeve and said, " Ziming, stop pressuring Uncle Che. I came here today just to tell you—"
Zou Mai looked up at Che Ziming, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "It's impossible for me to be with you."
After saying that, Zou Mai ran off while wiping his eyes.
Just as Zou Mai was about to run out of the villa gate, Che Ziming finally realized what was happening and ran after Zou Mai.
The courtyard fell silent for a moment.
Until Lin Tingyue's inner voice was heard.
[Wait a minute~ this script seems off. I remember Zou Mai was invited by Che Ziming to prove that the two of them were truly in love. Why did Zou Mai say she couldn't be with Che Ziming?]
[My God, Zou Mai is actually Che Xiuqi's biological daughter!]
[Initially, Che Xiuqi cheated on Wu Lan with her best friend, and Wu Lan, unable to tolerate it any longer, divorced him. However, Wu Lan never expected that Che Xiuqi had actually cheated on her with two of her best friends!]
Che Ziming cheated on her? Bai Yaxin he and Wu Lan had parted amicably.
[Two best friends gave birth to their children in different places. After growing up, these two girls from opposite ends of the country became best friends again. Zou Mai only just learned that Che Xiuqi is her biological father.]
[So, she and Che Ziming are biological siblings? No wonder Zou Mai said that.]
Even after entering the house, Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong were still not recovered.
The father took a liking to his son's girlfriend, but it turned out that the girlfriend was his own daughter.
What kind of mess is this?!
Most importantly, what is that Che Ziming? Does he want to separate his son and daughter by forcing his good-for-nothing son onto her two precious daughters?
Get out!
Bai Yaxin held Lin Tingyue's hand and said, "It's all Mom's fault. If I had known Che Xiuqi was thinking that way, I wouldn't have let him in in the first place."
Lin Rusong said, "I was the one who let them in; it was my fault."
"Alright, neither of you is wrong. If what they said is unpleasant to hear, I'll just ignore it," Lin Tingyue said, her eyes crinkling.
"Our Tingyue is such a good girl..."
Bai Yaxin was praising it when her phone suddenly rang.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yaxin said, "It was the Yi Family calling. They said their son is getting engaged in a couple of days and we absolutely have to go."
Bai Yaxin looked at Lin Rusong, Lin Rusong said, " The Yi Family and our family have only a so-so relationship, but we do have some collaborative projects..."
Before Lin Rusong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Tingyue's thoughts. To be precise, both of their attention was drawn to Lin Tingyue's thoughts.
[ Yi Family!]
Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong immediately sat up straight. It seemed there was more juicy gossip to come!
They weren't particularly fond of gossip before, but now, they've become addicted!
[Actually, calling it a "coming out" banquet is more accurate than calling it an "engagement banquet."]
Chapter 50
On the day of the Yi Family's engagement, the Lin Family dressed in their finest attire to attend.
Apart from Lin Shengyan was filming an advertisement, the entire Lin Family was present.
Yi Lixian never expected that when he simply told his wife to inform the Lin Family that they must come, the entire Lin Family would actually show up.
That's giving the Yi Family too much face.
Yi Lixian smiled and shook hands with Lin Rusong, "Thank you for the honor, Mr. Lin."
Actually, they came just to watch the drama unfold.
But how could Lin Rusong tell Yi Lixian about such a thing Yi Lixian? He coughed lightly and said, "The engagement of the younger generation is always a big deal."
While Lin Rusong Yi Lixian were still exchanging pleasantries, Lin Tingyue, who was holding Lin Xiawan's arm, had already begun searching for today's protagonist in the crowd.
[Found it!]
Qin Jiamei, who was speaking to Bai Yaxin, was startled. What was that sound?
However, her smile remained unchanged as she continued, "Your son and daughter are both so outstanding; you must have very high standards when they're looking for partners."
"When it comes to children's marriages, it's the same for everyone, but they're still young. Young people these days have a lot of ideas; they might already have someone in mind."
When Bai Yaxin brought this up, Qin Jiamei looked worried. "Isn't that right?"
They're about to get engaged, and her son is still causing trouble!
Bai Yaxin said half-jokingly, "What are you worried about? Your son is about to get engaged."
"Yes, yes," she said with a smile, "Today is the engagement day, and I can't spoil the joy." She added, "Your seats are over there, I'll take you there."
Bai Yaxin refused, "You stay here and attend to the other guests, we'll go over ourselves."
After saying that, Bai Yaxin called Lin Yuhuan, Lin Xiawan, and Lin Tingyue to follow her.
As for Lin Rusong, she subconsciously forgot about him.
Lin Rusong: "..."
You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it.
Lin Tingyue, who had just taken her seat, was still regretful. She had only found Yi Tianrui but hadn't gone over to take a closer look. However, when most of the guests had arrived, Yi Lixian and Qin Jiamei brought Yi Tianrui over on their own initiative.
They also exchanged Lin Yuhuan cards.
Generally, once a large family gets engaged, the children are considered settled, and then they can be allowed to explore and grow freely.
It's estimated that Yi Lixian and Qin Jiamei wanted Yi Tianrui to first make contact with Lin Yuhuan to lay the foundation for future cooperation.
The Lin Family doesn't have these rules, so even though Lin Yuhuan isn't married yet, he's already a standout among his peers.
Lin Yuhuan put away the business card, turned his head, and met Lin Tingyue's Xingxing eyes.
Lin Yuhuan assumed Lin Tingyue was interested in these things, so he brought it up again. "I haven't decided on the person for that small company yet. Tingyue, are you interested?"
Lin Tingyue shook her head.
[Big brother is so amazing, I admire him so much.]
Lin Yuhuan: "..."
Fortunately, Lin Shengyan wasn't here, otherwise he would have caused a scene again.
Lin Xiawan casually mentioned, "In a few days, my team and I will be going abroad to compete."
Lin Tingyue looked at Lin Xiawan with the same admiration.
[Wow, Sister Xiawan is amazing too!]
Lin Xiawan smiled contentedly and even took the time to get Lin Tingyue a dessert.
Lin Yuhuan: "..."
Surely he's not the only normal person among the Lin Family's children?
[It's starting. It's starting.]
Lin Tingyue rubbed her hands together, and even Lin Yuhuan subconsciously looked towards the center of the stage.
"Welcome everyone to the engagement banquet of Mr. Yi Tianrui and Ms. Jiao Yihan."
The host was in high spirits, and everyone clapped along, creating a great sense of interaction for the host.
But when the stage lights came on completely, everyone realized that there were more than two people on stage.
host. "?"
He hurriedly checked his card, not noticing there would be three people.
And even their parents haven't come up yet, this is...
The host quickly regained his composure and said, "The family and friends can leave now."
No response.
No, the host is panicking. Anyone with a modicum of sense would be off the stage by now, right?
The host's mind raced, but before he could continue his explanation, Yi Tianrui grabbed the hand of the man next to him and strode forward.
He grabbed the microphone from the host and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is indeed my engagement party, but it's not with Jiao Yihan, it's with Wu Qisi."
host. "?"
Not only was the host bewildered, but everyone in the audience was equally bewildered.
Yi Tianrui looked tenderly at Wu Qisi beside him, "Even if my parents disagree, Qisi, I will still be with you."
Yi Lixian and Qin Jiamei were so shocked by what they saw that they couldn't come to their senses for a long time. By the time they realized what was happening, Yi Tianrui was already planning to leave with Wu Qisi.
"You unfilial son, stop right there!"
Yi Lixian rushed onto the stage and blocked Yi Tianrui and Wu Qisi's path, "You want to go with him today? Only if I'm dead!"
Qin Jiamei also earnestly advised, " Tianrui, how is your father supposed to explain this to the Jiao Family?"
Jiao Yihan had never seen anything like this before, and she had already started crying. Her parents were trying to comfort her.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Yihan's father said, "Your Yi Family must give us an explanation today. How can you humiliate us like this?"
Qin Jiamei apologized to the other side, and Yi Lixian said with a gloomy face, "Are you trying to rebel? You must get engaged to Jiao Yihan today, or else..."
"Otherwise what? Do you want to kill me, or kill Qisi?" Yi Tianrui sneered, "From beginning to end, only you have been insisting that I get engaged to Jiao Yihan. You clearly know that the person I like is Qisi, but you still insist on doing it your way. Today's situation is all because of you. Since you like her so much, you might as well be with the Jiao Family yourself."
"You..." Yi Lixian pointed at Yi Tianrui's nose, his whole body swaying as if he were about to collapse.
[You know what, you really do know, Yi Lixian indeed date the wife of the Jiao Family's second son. These past few days they've been discussing their engagement party, and there's a hint that their old flame might be rekindling.]
What???
Suddenly, a green hat was slapped on his head, Jiao Hongchang that his lungs felt like they were about to explode. He first went to look at his wife, only to find that she didn't dare to look at him at all.
"Ugh, you two scumbags!"
Jiao Hongchang over and started fighting with Yi Lixian.
Qin Jiamei tried to break up the fight, but the two were eventually separated by security guards. Jiao Hongchang was still swearing, and Qin Jiamei anxiously asked, "Honey, are you alright?"
A man suddenly rushed into the banquet hall and overheard the conversation. He exclaimed incredulously, " Jiamei, weren't you going to leave with me? You still feel sorry for him?"
Qin Jiamei stammered, "You... you shouldn't talk nonsense, today is Tianrui's engagement banquet!"
