He was on the verge of an explosion, but this state only lasted a few seconds. Zhao Hongkun slowly loosened his fists and his stern expression softened.
He smiled and said: "Wan'er, I am sincere to you, so why are you doing this? Never make such a joke with me again in the future, okay?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Qi Wan'er smiled and said, "Zhao Hongkun, we are not that familiar with each other yet, and I won't joke with you."
Zhao Hongkun said: "No matter what you were like before or what you did, I don't care. What I care about is you."
Qi Wan'er smiled sarcastically: "What you care about is the so-called prosperous life, right? As long as I can help you achieve success, nothing else matters. You can even accept a little green on your head, right?"
Zhao Hongkun frowned and said, "Wan'er, what you said is a bit too much. I know you can't accept me now, but I promise you will look at me with admiration in the future."
"You are overthinking it. We have no future at all."
After Qi Wan'er finished speaking, she walked straight towards the relatives next to her.
Looking at her slim back, a cold light flashed in Zhao Hongkun's eyes. Although the conversation just now was very unpleasant, and although he could tell that Qi Wan'er was repulsive to him, he could not give up.
Soon the engagement banquet officially started. In the banquet hall, the beautiful emcee walked up to the front desk.
She is a well-known host on a Chinese TV station. Today she was invited to host the wedding of Qi Wan'er and Zhao Hongkun. This shows how seriously the Qi family attaches importance to this engagement.
The emcee smiled and said: "Dear guests, although today is not a formal wedding celebration, it is also a very grand engagement banquet. Miss Qi Waner and Mr. Zhao Hongkun have completed their lifelong contract under the witness of all the guests. Let us welcome them with warm applause."
A happy moment has arrived."
There was thunderous applause from the audience, and even the heads of the seven aristocratic families clapped their hands without hesitation.
Qi Yulong stood beside him. He was very satisfied with everything. Among the second-generation children of the Qi family, he was the one who performed extremely well. Now that his daughter has completed the marriage with the Zhao family, from now on, he will not be the head of the family.
None other than.
Qi Wan'er and Zhao Hongkun walked onto the stage. Zhao Hongkun was smiling, but Qi Wan'er had a rigid expression and could not see any joy.
The emcee walked up to the two people and did not realize that there was any difference in today's celebration. He raised the microphone in his hand and said: "The two newlyweds will complete their engagement soon. Before that, I have a few questions to ask the groom-to-be."
and the bride-to-be.”
He said to Zhao Hongkun: "Let me first ask the handsome Mr. Zhao, are you willing to marry Miss Wan'er?"
"I do!"
Zhao Hongkun answered with a loud, vigorous and powerful voice, "I didn't believe there was love at first sight in this world before, but the moment I saw Wan'er, I believed it. This is the woman I have been looking for all my life."
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause in the background, but some people secretly pouted. They knew very well that love at first sight is not about a prosperous husband.
The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Cangqiong, was sitting next to Qi Wan'er's grandfather Qi Guofan. Seeing his grandson's performance, he couldn't help but proudly said: "Old Qi, how are you? Isn't my grandson pretty good?"
"Not bad, very good! Otherwise, how could she be worthy of my granddaughter?"
Qi Guofan laughed happily, he was extremely satisfied with this marriage.
At this moment, the master of ceremonies moved the microphone in front of Qi Waner, "Beautiful Miss Waner, are you willing to marry Mr. Zhao?"
Qi Waner did not answer directly. She glanced around the audience, taking in everyone's expectations and expressions, and then said in a firm voice: "I, Qi Waner, don't want to!"
These few words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the entire banquet hall. Many people even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. How could the bride-to-be say she was unwilling at such a festive time?
At this time, Qi Wan'er smiled slightly and seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's shocked expressions. She repeated it again: "You heard me right, what I just said is indeed unwilling!"
The whole place was in an uproar and immediately became restless.
Many people who failed in their pursuit of Qi Wan'er secretly rejoiced. You, Zhao Hongkun, can't get what I can't get. Now there's something good to watch.
Zhao Hongkun's face turned pale, as if he had been struck by thunder.
Although Qi Wan'er had expressed dissatisfaction just now, he thought he was just playing tricks on him. Children of a big family like them would not put the interests of the family first.
He never expected that Qi Wan'er would actually keep her word and completely disregard the Qi family and Zhao family's face.
Doesn't she know what kind of situation this will put the two families into at this moment? Hasn't she thought about the serious consequences of doing this? If this marriage fails, I am afraid that the Qi family and the Zhao family will become the entire imperial family in the future.
laughing stock.
The beautiful lady held up the microphone in her hand. She was completely stunned at this moment, and she couldn't use any of the words she had prepared before.
I originally thought that this time it would be a good job. I would simply organize an engagement ceremony and then get a big red envelope from such a big family.
But the reality was not as beautiful as she imagined. Although she had hosted wedding ceremonies many times, this was the first time she encountered a situation like this, and she was a little at a loss for a while.
Shi Zhixuan was in the audience, dumbfounded. Only now did she realize what her daughter's words meant. She never thought that her daughter would take such an extreme step and almost break up with the entire Qi family.
Qi Yulong, who was standing nearby, was almost furious with Qi Wan'er. He didn't expect that his daughter would be so ignorant.
He hurriedly walked up to the stage and said: "Wan'er, are you still suffering from fever last night? If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. Don't affect your mood."
Then he took the microphone from the emcee's hand and said to the audience: "I'm sorry everyone, Wan'er had a fever last night and is a little unclear now. Please forgive me..."
Qi Wan'er snatched the microphone from his hand: "I'm not sick and I'm very sober. This is what I want to say. I don't want to! I just don't want to!"
Qi Yulong was completely dumbfounded now. Although he knew that Qi Wan'er was forced to attend the engagement party, this was very common among aristocratic families.
He had placed Qi Wan'er under house arrest before, thinking that as long as the raw rice was cooked, everything would be fine. After all, the children of any aristocratic family put the interests of the family first, and personal love and love were nothing at all.
If this marriage is successful, his status in the Qi family will increase, and he is likely to become the next head of the family.
But he never expected that Qi Wan'er was much stronger than he imagined, and actually said the three words "unwilling" in public, which directly sent him from heaven to hell.
Feeling the sarcastic and mocking eyes from the audience, Qi Yulong shouted angrily: "Qi Wan'er, are you confused? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I'm not confused. I know what I'm talking about and what I want."
Qi Wan'er had no intention of changing her mind. She said resolutely: "I am not willing to get married at all. I was completely forced. Now my acupuncture points are sealed. Do you think I can do it voluntarily?"
After she said this, the banquet hall that had just been quiet was in an uproar again. No one expected that the Qi family would seal off all their daughter's acupuncture points for this marriage.
Originally, in the eyes of many people, one party to the marriage had a rare and prosperous life for a thousand years, and the other party was a leader of the younger generation in the imperial capital. This was a good marriage in the circle of aristocratic families. Unexpectedly, they were not willing at all and were completely forced into it.
Like this.
At this moment, the smile on the face of Zhao Cangqiong, the head of the Zhao family, had long since disappeared. He looked at Qi Wan'er who looked determined on the stage, then looked at Zhao Hongkun who was completely at a loss, and finally sighed softly.
I thought this was a happy event for the Zhao family. The grandson and Qi Wan'er were a match made in heaven. Marrying back a prosperous husband rarely seen in thousands of years would bring the Zhao family to a higher level. But now it seems that things are not as imagined.
After all, Zhao Hongkun is an outstanding figure of the younger generation. He slowly recovered from the shock and said to the guests in the audience: "Everyone, I'm sorry. I had a few words with Wan'er in the audience just now. She just
These are just petty words and cannot be taken seriously."
After saying that, he turned around and took Qi Wan'er's hand, "Wan'er, if you have anything to say, go home and tell me. Don't lose your temper here."
Originally, he was holding on to his last glimmer of hope, hoping that Qi Waner could save some face for the two families.
But he was disappointed. Qi Waner slapped his hand away and said, "Zhao Hongkun, don't you still have illusions? There can be no family between you and me."
"this……"
Fantasy? Only then did Zhao Hongkun realize that everything before seemed to be really a fantasy. Although the woman in front of him was good, she did not belong to him at all.
Seeing his grandson being rejected one after another, Zhao Cangqiong became more and more angry. If this continued, not only would the Qi family be embarrassed, but the Zhao family would also lose face.
This girl from the Qi family has gone too far. Did she not consider the face of their two famous families? Did she not consider the consequences of such a quarrel?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qi Guofan: "Old Qi, your granddaughter is so uneducated. She doesn't take our Zhao family seriously at all. Shouldn't your Qi family give us an explanation?"
At this moment, the heads of several other major aristocratic families were calm and watching the development of the situation calmly. Some even had a faint smile on their faces. After all, those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things. The bigger the trouble, the more serious it will be for them.
There are benefits.
"Nonsense!" Qi Guofan couldn't sit still and his face was ashen. He originally thought Qi Yulong could calm the situation down, but he didn't expect that the trouble would get worse. The engagement banquet was ruined, which was a slap in the face of his Qi family.
He slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Qi Waner and shouted, "You must give me an explanation today."
