"Emperor Yan Qing, I, Chen Ning, refuse this marriage!"
In the quiet hall, Chen Ning's words were like a thunderous explosion, causing countless people's faces to change wildly.
Refusal to marry!
No one thought that Chen Ning would stand up and refuse the marriage at this time.
The guests didn't expect it, and neither did the Chen family or the Yan family.
The one who was most shocked in his heart was Emperor Yan Qing.
As a leader of the fourth generation of the Yan family, Emperor Yan Qing was trained by the Yan family with a lot of manpower and material resources. Now, under the age of thirty, he has reached the deputy department level and has a bright future.
The aura of the Yan family and his own efforts made him a bright new star in the red circle of the imperial capital and even the whole country. He stood at the top of the pyramid of the imperial capital's dandy circle, making countless people look up to him.
Perhaps Emperor Yan Qing was too good. When it was reported that he had taken Chen Ning, the number one flower in the army, many of his peers were envious and envious, but they did not say anything like "a flower stuck in cow dung" behind his back.
Words that hurt others.
Because they all felt that Emperor Yan Qing and Chen Ning were a perfect match, a God-given pair.
Despite this, but... Emperor Yan Qing, who knew that many people wanted to take away these military flowers, was still overjoyed when he learned that the Chen family agreed to marry Chen Ning to him.
Because he got something that others have been tempering for a long time and can never get!
However... now, the duck that had reached its beak has flown away, which Emperor Yan Qing could not accept.
It seems that... until this moment, Emperor Yan Qing could not believe this, because... in his opinion, with the aura of the Yan family and his own future prospects, the person who wants to marry him is enough to line up from Yanjing.
Lhasa!
His eyes were rounded, his face was pale, and he looked at Chen Ning's determined face with trembling eyes, and asked in disbelief: "You...you want to break off the engagement?"
"Yeah." Chen Ning nodded simply.
Seeing Chen Ning nod again, Emperor Yan Qing collapsed weakly on the ground, his face no longer showing any pride of being the eldest son of the Yan family.
That pride was shattered by Chen Ning's slap.
Because...sometimes, a slap that doesn't fall on the face is louder and more painful!
The scene suddenly became extremely strange, and most people's eyes kept wandering back and forth on Chen Ning, Mrs. Chen, Yan Qinglai, and Chen Jianguo.
"Ning'er..." Finally, Yan Qinglai, the head of the Yan family, couldn't help but speak. He tried his best to control the emotional fluctuations in his heart and tried to say something to Chen Ning, but the crazy beating muscles in the corners of his eyes betrayed his inner feelings.
.
As if he had guessed what Yan Qinglai was going to say, Chen Ning did not give Yan Qing a chance to continue. Instead, he stood there like a fierce woman in ancient times and said word by word: "Grandpa Yan, Ning'er has been stubborn since she was a child.
Words spoken are like water thrown out, never taken back!”
After saying that, Chen Ning bowed deeply to Yan Qinglai: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Yan, Ning'er has embarrassed you."
These words directly blocked Yan Qinglai's next words. His face was full of embarrassment. He wanted to smile and say it was okay, but he couldn't smile no matter what, and he couldn't say those two words.
Because... for the Yan family, what just happened is an indelible shame!
"Old Master, Grandpa, Ning'er is sorry for the Chen family." Then, Chen Ning took a few steps forward and knelt down directly on the ground, waiting for Old Master Chen to apologize.
The development of the matter was beyond everyone's expectations. Some big shots, including the No. 1 figure, had uncertain expressions on their faces, as if they were just thinking about the chain reaction this matter would cause, while Chen Jianguo frowned.
.
For him, the thing he least wanted to see happened after all. The only thing that didn't make him think was that it was not Mr. Chen who did all this, but Chen Ning.
"Ning Yatou, times have changed. Young people are all about free love. Since you have made up your mind, let this matter end here." When Chen Jianguo turned his attention to Mr. Chen and asked what to do next, he remained silent.
Old Mrs. Chen spoke in a tepid tone, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Thank you, old man." Chen Ning kowtowed respectfully, then stood up and left slowly under the gaze of everyone.
"cough."
Old Mrs. Chen frowned slightly, then coughed.
This cough immediately caused everyone to turn their attention away from Chen Ning and towards Old Mrs. Chen.
"Qing Lai, today's children have different ideas from us old guys. Maybe we really rushed this matter." Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Yan Qing Lai first: "However, since the children are not willing, we will
Don't be too pushy, after all, forceful melons don't taste sweet."
"Yes, Uncle Chen." Although he knew that Mr. Chen was speaking politely, Yan Qinglai still bowed and answered immediately, but the respect on his face at this time was completely different from before.
Not only Yan Qinglai, but others also knew that Mr. Chen was just trying to smooth things over.
In a wealthy marriage like this, there is no such thing as willingness or unwillingness. They are all victims of politics and interests. To put it harshly, it is like the emperor's new clothes.
"Everyone, let's just pretend that what just happened never happened." Old Mrs. Chen naturally knew this in his heart. He didn't say anything more to Yan Qinglai, but looked around: "Although the engagement ceremony cannot continue.
, but most of you have come from far away, so if you leave like this, my old Chen family and Yan family will feel sorry. Therefore, the banquet will continue, and you will just treat it as a party."
Faced with Old Mrs. Chen's proposal, naturally no one dared to object.
"Grandpa, I feel a little unwell and want to go back and have a rest." At this moment, Emperor Yan Qing, whose face was as pale as paper, stood up and walked to Yan Qinglai's side and said.
"Yeah." Yan Qing looked at Emperor Yan Qing with a complicated expression. He wanted to comfort him, but he also knew that this was not the time to comfort him.
Seeing Yan Qing's permission, Emperor Yan Qing did not leave directly, but bowed deeply to the big bosses including Mrs. Chen: "Mr. Chen, grandfathers, I'm really sorry, Emperor Qing has to leave first because he is not feeling well.
step."
"It doesn't matter, you go ahead." Old Mrs. Chen agreed.
Emperor Yan Qing slowly raised his head, smiled apologetically, and glanced slightly at Chen Fan without pausing or feeling any hatred.
Just a very bland glance.
"This Emperor Yan Qing is not simple."
Seeing Emperor Yan Qing return to normal in a short period of time, Chen Fan secretly thought to himself that he knew very well that this time it was not only the Chen family and the Yan family who had created a rift, but he and Emperor Yan Qing might also have formed an irresolvable relationship.
Hatred.
Knowing this, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then... after Fan Degui, Fan Xian, and Chen Ning, Emperor Yan Qing also left the hall.
As a result, the two protagonists left the table, and there was no longer any festive atmosphere in the hall, but an invisible pressure filled the hall.
After many twists and turns, they broke up unhappy.
These eight words could not be more appropriate to describe this engagement ceremony. In the following two hours, although the banquet continued, the atmosphere was too depressing and the meal made everyone feel uncomfortable.
Especially Yan Qinglai, the head of the Yan family.
He was obviously extremely angry inside, but he forced a smile. This feeling was a first for him in a high position, and it was enough for him to never forget in his life!
Two hours later, the banquet ended and all the guests left one after another.
As the hosts of this banquet, Yan Qinglai and Chen Jianguo escorted the bigwigs from all parties, including the No. 1 figure, while other lower-status guests were escorted by third-generation members of the Chen and Yan families.
After sending everyone, including No. 1, out of the hotel, Chen Jianguo looked back at Yan Qinglai, only to find that Yan Qinglai was also looking at him.
"Old Yan, I'm deeply sorry for what happened today, and I hope you won't take it personally." Chen Jianguo stepped forward and said.
Yan Qinglai smiled faintly: "Old Chen, you are too worried. How can I take it seriously? Uncle Chen is right. Young people have different ideas from us. It is true that we were too hasty this time.
"
Don't mean what you say.
Looking at Yan Qinglai's anger hidden deep in his eyes, these four words popped up in Chen Jianguo's mind.
He originally wanted to resolve this conflict, but after learning this, he knew that it would be impossible to resolve the conflict immediately.
"Okay, Old Chen, there are still some things at home that I need to deal with, so I'll take the first step." Seeing that Chen Jianguo didn't speak, Yan Qinglai stretched out his hand.
Chen Jianguo stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Yan Qinglai, then watched Yan Qinglai leave.
At the same time, in a luxurious suite of Yanjing Hotel.
Chen Fan and Susan sat in the hall drinking tea with Mr. Chen.
Compared to Chen Jianguo, Mr. Chen didn't have much worry on his face, but Chen Fan had a guilty expression on his face.
"Xiaofan, you don't have to feel guilty, let alone blame yourself. What happened today is not your fault. No one dares to blame you!" Seeing Chen Fan's thoughts, Old Man Chen couldn't help but say.
For Chen Fan, what he really cares about is not what Chen Jianguo and other members of the Chen family think of him, but how he has inadvertently affected the Chen family and embarrassed Old Mrs. Chen.
He knew very well that if Mr. Chen had his true temper, Emperor Yan Qing would be in trouble before Chen Ning refused the marriage!
"And...then again, if you say that the Yan family boy was not involved in the assassination of you, I will definitely not believe it! Therefore, Ning Yatou stood up and refused to marry. Although it will affect the relationship between the two families, it is still calculated
There are equal benefits and harms when you say something bad, so there is no need to think too much." Seeing that Chen Fan didn't speak, Old Man Chen spoke again, but the glinting look in his eyes was extremely complicated, with appreciation, surprise, and a hint of foresight: "Besides, some people do
It needs some hammering, so it doesn’t hurt to be a little early.”
After the words fell, the eyes of this old man who once led the old Chen family to rise step by step shone with a shrewdness that others could not understand.
…
At the same time, Yan Qinglai got into the car that had been waiting for a long time in the hotel parking lot.
In the car, Emperor Yan Qing had been waiting for a long time.
Unlike Emperor Yan Qing who was smiling in the hall before, Yan Qing's face was extremely gloomy at this time, and the hatred in his eyes was unforgettable.
"Qing Emperor, don't be so angry with yourself." After seeing this scene, Yan Qinglai patted Emperor Yan Qing's shoulder gently after getting in the car, and comforted him: "As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years.
Sooner or later, grandpa will take back this bad breath from you!"
Emperor Yan Qing remained silent.
Then the car started slowly. Yan Qinglai glanced at the Yanjing Hotel that was gradually going away through the reflector, and sneered: "The Chen family's luck has come to an end!"
