After she finished speaking, Lu Shaoyuan came on stage and announced the news of her engagement to Ji Yuting amidst cheers.
Because Ji Yuting was not able to arrive at the scene in the end, Lu Shaoyuan chose to simplify the matter and skip it quickly to reduce the attention of the guests on site.
The banquet is in the middle.
After Shengge toasted all the guests, she sat alone at an inconspicuous small table and tasted wine.
Fu Chenyi felt a little distressed when he saw her drinking alone, so he walked over to sit opposite her.
"Shengge, you are actually unwilling to engage in an engagement with Ji Yuting, right?"
She said nothing and swung her wine glass gracefully.
Fu Chenyi: "Look at him, he can actually be absent on such an important day today, leaving you to bear everyone's jokes alone. If you are with such a man in the future, he will not love you well."
Shengge chuckled and said, "Young Master Fu, it seems like no one in the room today dares to laugh except you."
Fu Chenyi was very depressed, "That's because Uncle Lu controlled the situation well, Shengge, I really regret not letting my parents go to discuss your marriage with Uncle Lu earlier, but if you are willing to be with me, I can help you
, fight with the Ji family!"
"Young Master Fu, that's not necessary. I don't want to." Shengge did not hesitate.
"Why? Do you really like Ji Yuting?"
Shengge put down her wine glass and said seriously, "I don't like him, and I won't marry him. Likewise, I'm just a friend to you. We can't get married. I hope Mr. Fu understands."
Fu Chenyi's face turned pale and he couldn't say a word.
It's eleven o'clock at night.
As soon as the Lu family's dust-washing party ended, Si Nian, who was ambushing around the Lu family, quickly ran to the car that had been parked for a long time two hundred meters away.
When no one was paying attention, he opened the car door and got in.
Before I could sit down, the man who had been waiting inside immediately asked.
"How about it?"
Si Nian: "Don't worry, Boss, you have threatened to silence everyone in advance, and Mr. Lu has handled it well. No one dares to laugh at Miss Shengge behind her back."
Ji Yuting felt a little relieved from the guilt in his heart.
"Then is she unhappy?"
Xi Nian thought for a while and said, "No, I think she and Mr. Fu chatted for a long time, and they seemed to have a pretty good conversation."
Ji Yuting pursed his lips tightly, his face instantly turned pale, and his dark pupils were filled with a hint of loneliness.
There were no lights on in the car, so I couldn't see his expression, but I could clearly feel that the air pressure around him was like an ice cellar.
He shouldn't have mentioned Fu Chenyi. Si Nian patted his mouth in annoyance, changed the subject and asked, "Boss, it's getting late. How long do you plan to return to Ji's house?"
Ji Yuting thought for a while and said, "Wait a little longer."
An hour later, Ji Yuting returned to Ji's house.
Remembering that Mr. Ji punished him for not attending today, he consciously did not go back to the villa, but went to the ancestral hall.
As soon as he reached the ancestral hall, Uncle Li was already standing at the door, obviously waiting for him for a long time.
"Master, when the old man came back in the evening, he said he wasn't feeling well. Please go and have a look."
Ji Yuting didn't think much and followed Uncle Li.
When he reached the guest room on the second floor, Uncle Li suddenly stopped and made a gesture of invitation to him.
He frowned, "This is not grandpa's room, why did you bring me here?"
Uncle Li's expression remained unchanged: "The old man's legs and feet are not good. He felt uncomfortable just after walking here today, so he simply stayed in there."
Ji Yuting didn't speak, obviously he didn't believe it.
Uncle Li looked at him and emphasized, "Master, do you think I dare to make fun of the old man's body? The old man is inside. Go in quickly. If it's too late, the old man will be angry."
He pushed open the door hesitantly, and as soon as he took two steps inside, Uncle Li pushed him in from behind, then closed the door and locked it.
"Uncle Li, open the door!"
I took several shots of the door, but there was no movement outside. It seemed like the person had left.
Ji Yuting was confused when a woman's familiar and delicate voice suddenly came from behind him.
"It's useless, Mr. Yu always avoids me. Grandpa Ji specially arranged tonight."
