967. Chapter 967 The Engagement Banquet of the Gongxu Family
"This subordinate is going to call a doctor for the Second Young Master right now. If the Second Young Master is really unwell, I'm afraid he will have to stay in bed. The Gong family's engagement banquet will be held, and I will report back to the Master. The Second Young Master's health is important!"
"Well, go ahead."
Lan Rui nodded slightly, and suddenly added, "Tune out my private person, and I will take her away on the day of the engagement party."
"Second Young Master, this..."
The housekeeper looked worried. Lan Rui was a person who couldn't even protect his own safety. He could only stay in City C for his own safety. Where could he take An Moran?!
If Gong Shaoming is offended, the lesson from the last bloodbath is still there, and that person will not show mercy.
"Do I have to explain everything to you?"
"I don't dare, I will make arrangements now!"
The butler accepted the order and immediately turned around and left.
Lan Rui leaned back in the chair, intertwined the fingers of his hands, and rested them on his sharp chin. There was a shadow lingering on his bloodless face.
He knew that he was unable to protect her and would not force her to stay by his side.
Lan Rui never thought that one day he would be able to be with the woman he liked. All he wanted to do was to silently protect her happiness.
She wanted to stay with Gong Shaoming, so he sent her back.
If she wants to leave the Gong family, he will do everything he can to take her away and allow her to be free.
As for where she will go from now on, he will not interfere...
The sun is still shining brightly outside the window, but there is no light in the house. Some people's lives are doomed early on...

The engagement banquet of the Gong and Xu family was held in the form of an open-air banquet.
The location was a sea-view villa in the outskirts of the Gong family. It was a venue chosen by Gong Shaoming himself, in order to stay away from the Gong family's old residence and not to prevent An Moran from hearing any movement.
But despite this, the engagement party between the Gong family, one of the four major families, and the Xu family, the top military leader, was a sensation in the city.
The huge banquet venue was beautifully decorated. Special flowers flown from abroad were arranged around the banquet venue. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere, refreshing...
The high-ceiling ribbon net was designed in the shape of concentric knots and hung high at the upper end of the banquet hall. Countless crystal chandeliers dazzled under the moonlight, accompanied by the symphony orchestra's mountain-like music, creating a high-end atmosphere.
Although it was just a simple engagement party, neither party was a simple person, so there were naturally many guests.
Not long after the banquet venue opened, luxury cars arrived on time...
It didn’t take long for the entire engagement banquet to be crowded with people, drinking and drinking, and it was a joyous feast...
Minister Xu had already arrived at the venue with his beloved daughter. The elders of the Gong family were welcoming him with joy. Xu Aizhen, who was dressed in a white mid-length white gauze, had a light smile on her face.
The tube top dress and the large white satin waist design outline her curvy figure in a very eye-catching way. The short skirt with short front and long back is fluttering in the wind, giving it a sense of elegance, without the usual touch of elegance. But there is a hint of coquettishness of a soon-to-be wife.
Holding Minister Xu in his right hand, he politely dealt with the old guys from the Gong family who were eating people without spitting out their bones, but he was looking for Gong Shaoming's figure in the venue without leaving a trace.
The engagement banquet is about to officially begin. The important elders of the Gong and Xu families have arrived at the venue, but the male protagonist of the engagement banquet has not yet appeared...
