During the chat, Xiao Zichen's parents came to the banquet hall. After Xiao Zichen saw it, he hurriedly walked over and took the wheelchair from his mother's hand.
After a while, Fu Yusheng's parents also came, and their two families were arranged at the same table.
Mo Yurou thought about the unpleasantness she had with Zhang Xinfang before the Chinese New Year, and it was always a bit awkward to meet her now. However, when Zhang Xinfang saw Mo Yurou, it was as if nothing had happened and she held her hand cordially.
Mo Yurou looked confused as she asked for help.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Zichen's mother and mother-in-law Lu Yazhen leaned into Mo Yurou's ear and said.
"Xinfang, you know, all her emotions are shown on her face. Now that you and Zichen are living well, she doesn't have any hostility towards you anymore. Don't worry, no one can give you anything when your mother is here in the future.
Look at your face."
Lu Yazhen held Mo Yurou's hand with a kind face, as if she were a mother, with kindness and concern in her eyes.
Hearing this, Mo Yurou smiled happily, thought for a while, and said something.
"Thank you, Mom."
Lu Yazhen was obviously taken aback when she heard this title.
Mo Yurou has been very busy during this period and has not met Lu Yazhen. The last time they met was a few months ago. At that time, Mo Yurou called her aunt. Unexpectedly, more than a month later, everything has changed.
No, after Lu Yazhen came to her senses, she held Mo Yurou's hand with some excitement. She didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Xiao Zichen on the side came to the rescue in time.
"Mom, that's it. Isn't it just a title? Look how excited you are, and everyone is looking at you."
When Xiao Zichen said this, Lu Yazhen finally calmed down a little, then glared at Xiao Zichen and said complainingly.
"What is a title? You are just heartless. From now on, Yurou will be my most beloved daughter, Lu Yazhen. If you dare to bully Yurou, see how I deal with you."
As she said that, Lu Yazhen's face changed instantly, and she looked at Yu Rou with a gentle look on her face, holding her hand and saying warm words.
"Yurou, does this guy treat you well? Remember, if he does something bad, don't give him face, point it out directly. If he doesn't change, ignore him. If he bullies you, just talk to him.
Mom said, Mom will help you take care of him."
Hearing the words in his tone, Xiao Zichen seriously doubted whether he was picked up from his mother's garbage dump. How could he not have a son when he had a daughter-in-law?
But seeing Lu Yazhen and Mo Yurou getting along so harmoniously, Xiao Zichen felt very happy. After all, the biggest problem in most families nowadays is the problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but this seems to not exist at all in their case.
At almost 6:10, Mo Yurou finally saw Zhao Kel, who had disappeared for a day.
At first glance, Mo Yurou was immediately stunned by Zhao Keer. She has known Zhao Keer for so many years, and she has always known that Zhao Keer is beautiful, but she usually doesn't like to dress herself up. But she didn't expect that Zhao Keer tonight was so beautiful.
, the femininity exuding from her bones, even a woman like her can't take her eyes off it.
Zhao Keer appeared with her parents and several brothers and sisters-in-law. To everyone's surprise, the eldest son of the Luo family, one of the famous four young men in Luo City, was actually among them.
At this time, Mo Yurou glanced at the table next to her and saw that Luo Mingxuan's parents and younger brother's family had already taken their seats. They all had smiles on their faces and looked at Luo Mingxuan in the center of the stage with an expression of relief.
Everyone in the Zhao family had smiles on their faces, except Zhao Keer, who was standing next to her with a smiley face. It was obvious that she didn't like the occasion, or she was forced to appear.
of.
But what Mo Yurou is now curious about is what method the Zhao family used to make Zhao Keer stand on the stage with such an expression.
At this time, Zhao Keer's mother took a step forward with the microphone, then looked at the banquet hall full of guests and said with a smile.
"First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my wedding anniversary with Lao Zhao. Being able to share the same boat with Lao Zhao for forty years is the happiest thing in my life, Shu Wanting. Now, my three sons have all gotten married and started a business.
We all have our own families and children, and now Lao Zhao and I are full of children and grandchildren, so we husband and wife would like to take this opportunity to share our joy and happiness with you, and hope that our friends will also
They can have their own happy lives."
When Shu Wanting said this, she paused, then turned to look at Zhao Ke'er and Luo Mingxuan who were standing at the side, waved to them, and Luo Mingxuan led Zhao Ke'er to Shu Wanting's side.
"On this happy day today, our Zhao family has something very important to announce to everyone here. Today is not only the wedding anniversary of Lao Zhao and I, but also the anniversary of my youngest daughter Zhao Keer and the eldest son of the Luo family Luo Mingxuan.
Engagement Day.”
As soon as Shu Wanting said this, the crowd immediately started to boil, and everyone looked surprised. Before this, no one had thought that there would be such a big surprise. After all, no one knew that the young master of the Luo family had an intersection with the young lady of the Zhao family.
.
Shu Wanting looked at the discussion among everyone present, coughed slightly, and continued.
"Originally, we wanted to keep the engagement low-key, but Ke'er is the only daughter of our Zhao family, and Mingxuan is the eldest young master of the Luo family. We can't wrong these two young people so much, so we just want to take advantage of today's event.
On this happy day, I share this joyful news with everyone, and I hope that these two juniors can receive the blessings of everyone present."
When Shu Wanting said this, the people below applauded and congratulated. After all, this was a marriage between the Luo and Zhao families. The influence of the combination of these two families was no less than that of the marriage of the Xiao and Mo families.
At this time, Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen were leaning together in the audience and discussing quietly.
Mo Yurou looked at Zhao Keer with a fake smile on the stage and said softly.
"You really don't know what happened between Luo Mingxuan and Ke'er. I don't believe that Ke'er really accepts this engagement."
Mo Yurou knew Zhao Keer very well. With her flawless smile, others thought she was really happy. Only Mo Yurou knew that once Zhao Keer really wanted to smile, it would definitely not be like this.
Smile without showing your teeth.
Xiao Zichen shrugged. He really didn't know anything. What he said just now was just a passing guess.
"Conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't know that tonight would be their engagement ceremony. It seems that Mingxuan is more capable than I thought. But I can see that Mingxuan really cares about your friend. Otherwise,
With his character that doesn't like to cause trouble, he would never put so much thought into it."
Hearing what Xiao Zichen said, Mo Yurou became even more curious. Looking at the two people on the stage pretending to show affection, Mo Yurou shook her head and said.
"Forget it, I'll ask again later when I get the chance."
Afterwards, the elders of the Luo and Zhao families took Luo Mingxuan and Zhao Ke'er to toast. When they arrived at Mo Yurou's table, Mo Yurou immediately grabbed Zhao Ke'er.
"Ke'er, what's going on?"
At this time, Zhao Ke'er could finally be herself, the smile on her face disappeared, she hugged Mo Yurou with a bitter look on her face, and said in a low voice.
"It's hard to explain in words. I'll talk to you later when I find time."
After saying that, Zhao Keer showed that fake smile again, and then stood intimately with Luo Mingxuan to toast the guests.
When Zhao Keer and the others left to toast at another table, Zhang Xinfang, who had not spoken much all night, looked at Fu Yusheng and sighed.
"Hey, you see, both of them are settled. Yusheng, don't you have to hurry up? You said that you two have known each other since you were young, and you don't want to be single in the end."
Fu Yusheng never thought that he would be urged to marry by his mother in public. Looking at the expressions of his mother looking at him and Qin Zhiyan, he frowned slightly.
"Aren't you still single in Jingzhou?"
When Zhang Xinfang heard this, the elder suddenly became angry and said with a look of resentment.
"Can you compare with Yu Jingzhou? If he wants to get married, there are many women around him who want to marry him. But as for you, don't think you are so powerful. You should seize the opportunity firmly and don't miss the person in front of you. When the time comes, you will be there.
regrettable."
Zhang Xinfang's meaning couldn't be more obvious. Qin Zhiyan who was speaking beside him felt a little uncomfortable, fidgeting and bowed his head shyly without saying a word.
Fu Yusheng said impatiently as he saw that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing due to his mother's excitement.
"Okay, okay, I will hurry up and don't keep rushing me. Can this marriage be rushed?"
"Yeah, you think I'm verbose, huh, you deserve to be single."
Zhang Xinfang hated that iron could not become steel, so she directly cursed.
Seeing this, Lu Yazhen on the side patted Zhang Xinfang's hand and said.
"Okay, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. This emotional matter cannot be solved by adults like us with a few words. If we give the young people some space, maybe it can be settled."
Lu Yazhen is someone who has experienced it. Seeing the entanglement between her son, Jiang Moyao and Mo Yurou, she has completely realized that there are some things that they cannot interfere with and decide. When the time comes, everything will fall into place.
As the dinner was coming to an end, Mo Yurou found a break to meet Zhao Keer, while Xiao Zichen and the others went to Luo Mingxuan's place.
"Ke'er, what's going on? How come it turned out to be an engagement ceremony so smoothly?"
In the lounge, when Mo Yurou saw Zhao Keer, Zhao Keer was sitting on the sofa with a tired look on her face, her eyes dull and her expression downcast.
Zhao Keer saw Mo Yurou walking in, heard her words, and said to Mo Yurou.
"Close the door."
After hearing this, Mo Yurou closed the door and sat down next to Zhao Keer.
"Fake."
As soon as she sat down, she heard Zhao Ke'er blurt out these two words. Mo Yurou was stunned, looked at Zhao Ke'er in surprise, and said.
"What's fake? Engagement, Cole, what are you making a fuss about? After tonight, everyone in Luo City will probably know about your engagement to Luo Mingxuan. How can it be fake?"
But Zhao Keer said calmly.
"Isn't it just an engagement? My mother has been forcing me to find a man to get married, so I followed her wishes. Now Luo Mingxuan and I are engaged. As for getting married, it depends on whether we have time. I have decided
, as soon as I get my documents and passport, I will go to Africa immediately, and when the time comes, don’t even think about letting me come back.”
Zhao Keer's eyes flashed with determination. After hearing this, Mo Yurou frowned slightly and asked.
"Does Luo Mingxuan know what you are thinking?"
Although Mo Yurou didn't know Luo Mingxuan very well, she didn't think that Luo Mingxuan would accompany Zhao Ke'er to fool around, but at this time, Zhao Ke'er nodded and said.
"He was the one who brought up the idea of getting engaged. I thought about it and realized that it was actually a solution. With my mother's attitude, if I don't find a man to settle down with, she will definitely not give me the certificate.
I can’t leave Luo City, so my top priority right now is to get out of here, so I just cooperate with Luo Mingxuan in acting.”
Hearing this, Mo Yurou felt that Zhao Keer's idea was too simple. Luo Mingxuan was determined to win over Zhao Keer, so how could he let Zhao Keer leave.
Also, although Mo Yurou felt that Luo Mingxuan and Zhao Ke'er were perfect together, she didn't want Zhao Ke'er to make fun of her marriage. She didn't want her good friend to go through the same hardships she had endured.
"Ke'er, are you stupid? Can you believe what Luo Mingxuan says? He has been pestering you before, so you are not afraid that he will fake it and really do it."
Looking at Mo Yurou's worried expression, Zhao Keer smiled calmly and said.
"Of course I know, but I am not stupid. As for me, I will pretend to cooperate with him and act in love for a period of time. When everyone relaxes their vigilance, it will not be too late for me to leave. Anyway, I have plenty of time to spend time with them.
"
Well, I was worried for nothing, but seeing Zhao Ke'er's relaxed expression, Mo Yurou always felt a little worried in her heart. She always felt that Zhao Ke'er thought of all this too simply.
After chatting with Zhao Keer, Mo Yurou left the lounge to find Xiao Zichen. Xiao Zichen and the others were already on the first floor of the hotel and were ready to leave when Mo Yurou came down.
Compared with the tired look on Zhao Ke'er's face in the lounge, Luo Mingxuan felt refreshed and was still busy seeing off guests and mingling with Zhao Ke'er's three brothers.
Xiao Zichen stood aside silently, looking at the time from time to time. It seemed that he had been waiting for Mo Yurou for a long time.
At this time, a rather charming woman's voice sounded, attracting the attention of some people.
"Brother Zichen, it's really you. I thought I recognized the wrong person."
When he heard someone calling his name, Xiao Zichen looked up in confusion and saw a sweet-looking girl wearing a light yellow dress running towards him.
When Xiao Zichen took a look, he had a strange look on his face. In his memory, he didn't seem to recognize this woman.
The appearance of this woman also attracted the attention of Luo Mingxuan and Fu Yusheng. They first looked at Xiao Zichen, and then looked at the woman warily one by one. After all, they are now considered Mo Yurou's side because of some relationship. Now
If you see a strange woman taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xiao Zichen, as a group of relatives and friends, you should keep an eye on her.
The woman had already walked in front of Xiao Zichen, and suddenly stretched out her hand to give Xiao Zichen a hug. Xiao Zichen subconsciously took two steps back, avoiding the woman, and then said cautiously and indifferently.
"do we know each other?"
When the woman heard this, a trace of disappointment suddenly flashed across her originally excited face. She retracted her raised hand, took a step back, and said in a low voice.
"Brother Zichen, don't you remember me? I'm Shen Leyi. I lived in your house when I was a child. You taught me how to play the piano at that time. Have you forgotten?"
The woman seemed to be trying hard to help Xiao Zichen regain his memory.
When Xiao Zichen heard this, he seemed to have some impression. He remembered that there seemed to be a girl named Shen Leyi who lived in his house for a while, but the girl in his impression was not the same person as the one in front of him at all.
The impression I have of Shen Leyi is that she is a very ordinary-looking girl, short, fat, and dark-skinned. She is the kind of ordinary girl who would be instantly overwhelmed in a crowd.
But the person in front of me is tall, with a slim but plump figure, fair skin, and a temperament that doesn't look as naive as it did when I was a child.
In comparison, the woman in front of him was very beautiful and stunning, but to Xiao Zichen, he seemed to prefer the ordinary girl from childhood, with clearer eyes.
Xiao Zichen looked at the strange girl in front of him, nodded and said.
"I have an impression, hello."
Xiao Zichen's expression did not change at all. He was indifferent and distant. He deliberately kept a distance of about one meter. He briefly looked at the woman in front of him and then looked away.
Shen Leyi did not expect that the meeting many years later would be like this, nor did she expect that the big brother who was as warm as the sun in her memory would be so cold to her. Shen Leyi's face could not help but be stained with a touch of sadness. .
"Brother Zichen, why have you become so cold? I remember you were not like this when you were a child."
Shen Leyi said sadly as her soul seemed to have been hit hard.
