Long Ruoting blinked at him and walked around in front of him again: "Brother Zi Zhong, I am Ruoting, don't you recognize me?"
"Long Ruoting?
You, where are your parents?"
As he spoke, he took several steps back.
His experience from childhood told him that when facing Long Ruoting, he should stay as far away as possible, otherwise, he would definitely be criticized by his mother for no reason.
Long Ruoting took a step forward: "Brother Zizhong, my parents are talking to Uncle Lu and the others over there! What's wrong with you? You seem to be scared when you see me!"
"Sorry, I still have something to do, go and play with Tiantian!"
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, Long Ruoting quickly blocked his way: "Brother Zizhong, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
While talking, she saw Gu Nuanyu not far behind Lu Zizhong.
She had already heard from her parents at home that today the old lady of the Lu family would announce the marriage of Lu Zizhong and Gu Nuanyu.
She loves Lu Zizhong and has been in love with him since she was seventeen years old. Therefore, as long as she is around, she will never watch him get engaged to Gu Nuanyu.
Thinking of this, Long Ruoting took a deep breath and deliberately shouted loudly: "Lu Zizhong, I like you and I want to marry you!"
Her crisp soprano voice was very penetrating, and the venue, which had been a bit noisy just now, instantly became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
The boys from the Lu family who were greeting the guests also looked at their eldest brother.
Lu Zili was the first to whistle: "I'll go, so many people are confessing their love in public. This old man, eldest brother, is infinitely charming!"
Lu Zixun laughed unkindly: "Second brother, you'd better shut up. Look at the eldest brother's expression, it looks like he has eaten durian. I guess he is ready to strangle Long Ruoting to death.
"
Xiangzhu sighed on the side: "There is an eight-year age difference between them. When did Long Ruoting fall in love with her elder brother?"
Lu Ziqian thought for a while and said, "Who knows! My eldest brother has disliked Long Ruoting the most since he was a child. I didn't expect that girl to fall in love with him. What kind of fate must this be!"
Lu Zibai smacked his lips with sympathy: "Brother, how pitiful!"
Not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Long Wei and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Chenxu, who were standing together chatting, were also frightened by this scene.
Mo Xiaodie frowned and looked at Liu Yiyi: "You, when did your daughter fall in love with my son?"
Liu Yiyi shook her head: "I don't know, Tingting has never told me about this!"
Li Mingcheng laughed: "What expressions are you looking at? I remember it very clearly. When Tingting was a child, Xiaodie said that your two families would have a marriage agreement, and her son would marry your daughter.
Yiyi, why are you unhappy now that your daughter has fallen in love with Zizhong?"
Mo Xiaodie and Liu Yiyi stared at him at the same time and shouted in unison: "Shut up!"
Xiao Su quickly pulled Li Mingcheng aside: "What are you doing! Don't you understand what the occasion is today? Is this a time for joking?"
While speaking, Xiao Su pointed at Long Wei: "Look, what Long Wei is going to do!"
Li Mingcheng looked in the direction of Xiao Su's finger, and Long Wei was already striding towards Long Ruoting.
Long Ruoting's sudden confession caught Lu Zizhong off guard. He thought about everything the Gu family might do and made all preparations, but nothing came of his mind.
Long Ruoting would do this.
If this had been another woman, he would have ordered the security guards to drag her out without saying a word, and she would never be allowed to appear in front of him again.
However, Long Ruoting is different. She is the daughter of Uncle Long and Aunt Liu.
We have been friends with their family for a long time, and our relationship is like one family.
If he does this, the relationship between the two families will become tense.
Just when he had thought of his words and was about to reject Long Ruoting, Long Wei suddenly came over and grabbed Long Ruoting: "Go back, who asked you to do this? The Long family's face is all in disgrace."
I've been completely embarrassed by you, do you know?"
At this time, Long Wei was really angry!
But Long Ruoting was brave enough to pursue her own happiness today. She was not wrong!
Therefore, she forcefully shook off Long Wei's hand, raised her head, and said fearlessly: "I won't go back, Dad, I'm already twenty years old.
Now that I am an adult and have reached the country’s legal age for marriage, I pursue my own happiness and express my love to the person I like. What’s wrong with me?
Why have you lost the face of the Long family?"
Long raised his hand in awe and slapped him: "You are pursuing your happiness, don't you know?
Zizhong and the Gu family have already made an engagement, what is your behavior? You are a third party!"
Half of Long Ruoting's face instantly became red and swollen from his beating. She covered her face and glared at Long Wei: "Dad, I'm not your daughter anymore! What happened to the engagement between Brother Zizhong and the Gu family?
Everyone knows it.
The Gu family used the great-grandfather’s relationship to force him to submit, and he doesn’t like Gu Nuanyu at all!”
Long Wei was about to get mad at her, and when he raised his hand to hit her again, Liu Yiyi, Mo Xiaodie, and Lu Chenxu ran over.
Lu Chenxu quickly took his hand: "Long Wei, today is my grandma's birthday party, please stop making trouble!"
Liu Yiyi also went over to hold Long Ruoting and persuaded her: "Tingting, apologize to your father quickly!"
Long Ruoting was filled with tears and had a stubborn look on her face: "I'm not wrong, why should I apologize?
Mom, I really like Brother Zizhong, I really like him.
Want to marry him.
I’ve liked him since I was seventeen!”
As she talked, she hugged Liu Yiyi and cried sadly.
At this time, Gu Dabin pushed Mrs. Lu over and walked over.
Because Mrs. Lu is too old, she always prepares a wheelchair when she goes out.
Seeing Mrs. Lu coming over, Gu Nuanyu hurriedly walked to her side: "Grandma, why are you here.
I believe Brother Zizhong will handle this kind of thing himself.
Today is your birthday, you should be happy and don’t let these things disturb your good mood!”
Father Lu also persuaded him: "Yes, Mom, since Chenxu and his wife are here, we should go back!"
However, Mrs. Lu was very persistent: "Today is my birthday, so my old lady will just say a few words.
I have already made an appointment for Dabao’s marriage with a girl from the Gu family. Xiaoyu is well-educated, smart and well-behaved, and is a perfect match for Dabao!
Long Wei, Yiyi, it’s not that your daughter is bad, it’s that our family’s eldest daughter is already engaged!”
After saying that, she looked at Father Lu: "You are Dabao's grandfather, Wen Xiang. The cake will be cut soon. Now you go on stage to announce Dabao and Xiaoyu's marriage to all the guests.
In this case, unnecessary misunderstandings like today will not happen again in the future!"
Her words stunned everyone.
Lu Chenxu tried to stop her: "Grandma, isn't this a little too hasty? Today is your birthday. It's not appropriate to announce Dabao's marriage!"
Mo Xiaodie also said: "Yes, grandma, I think we should let these young people get to know each other for a while, and it's not too late to talk about the engagement!"
