The engagement party will not be canceled because of Xu Yao's resistance.
What's more, after Xu Yao rarely returned home, she stayed in the house for a week without leaving.
Xu Zhongxiong thought his daughter agreed.
The Xu family's villa is not as good as Ziyun Villa, but its specifications and grades are not much different. There are flower baskets at the door of the villa, and there is a long queue of beautiful reception ladies. When customers come to the door, they will show dignified smiles.
In the hall, the famous pianist Lang Lang was playing beautiful music, and the violin master Li Yunhua coordinated the music perfectly.
Girls in elegant dresses and handsome, tall men danced in the center of the hall, surrounded by wealthy men and young men talking.
"Old Huang, you're here too!" Xu Zhongxiong, wearing an upright suit, saw Huang Jiancheng, the head of the Huang family, coming to visit, and hurriedly greeted him, laughing loudly.
"Uncle Xu!" Huang Xinhu stood behind him and cupped his hands to Xu Zhongxiong.
Cai Mingtian, Xu Yao, and Huang Xinhu are junior brothers. Xu Yao is getting engaged, so he naturally wants to come to support her. Although he doesn't know why Xu Yao's engagement is so fast and she doesn't even say hello to him, this does not prevent him from coming.
Support.
"Xinhu, did you ask for leave?" Xu Zhongxiong was a little surprised when he saw Huang Xinhu.
You know, Huang Xinhu joined the army together with Cai Mingtian, but Cai Mingtian's experience is legendary. He was the first to enter the training of Shenlong War Department, but was kicked out again.
But Huang Xinhu is different. He is still fighting for the opportunity to join the Shenlong War Department and is currently training in the military.
"Senior sister is getting engaged. I went to the battalion commander and gave special instructions for the leave." Huang Xinhu smiled politely.
At this moment, Xu Zhongxiong heard shouting.
"Ascending to the Chen family, Chen Baojun, Chen Sizhe, Chen Sihan, and Ruyi came to congratulate me."
Xu Zhongxiong raised his head and looked outside the house. When he saw the familiar old man, his heart tightened.
"Xinhu, if Yaoyao knows that you have come all the way here, she will be very happy. My uncle also has to entertain guests, and you are familiar with this place. Take a stroll around, or go up to Yaoyao to catch up on old times!"
After finishing speaking, he patted Huang Xinhu on the shoulder and walked towards Chen Baojun.
"Uncle Chen, I didn't expect you to come in person." Xu Zhongxiong looked humble.
Chen Baojun was stronger than his father Xu Zhongzheng. He didn't expect that such a figure would come to support him. He must have come to the engagement banquet for the sake of the Sun family.
In Shangyang City, the Chen family, the Du family, the Liao family, and the Sun family are all more powerful than the Xu family and have stronger foundations. From a strategic point of view, he will naturally welcome them with a smile.
Chen Baojun was gray-haired but looked very good: "How could I not come? Xiao Yaoyao is getting married. Of course I have to bring some good things to see."
"By the way, where is little friend Li Rui now?"
After saying less than two sentences, Chen Baojun couldn't wait to see Li Rui.
"Who is Li Rui?" Xu Zhongxiong asked subconsciously.
Since he accidentally heard Li Rui's voice on the phone, he has not received any news about Li Rui so far.
"You don't know Li Rui?" Chen Baojun's expression froze.
Xu Zhongxiong doesn’t know Li Rui, so who is engaged to Xu Yao?
He just heard that Xu Yao was engaged and didn't read the contents of the invitation carefully.
"I don't know this person. Could it be that he is a young talent from the Li family in Yan City?" Xu Zhongxiong opened his eyes slightly, curious.
Chen Baojun was too lazy to answer this question.
In the Li family of Yan City, he initially guessed that Li Rui was a member of the Li family. Later, after investigating, he found that there was no illegitimate child in the Li family at all, so he did not think they had any connection.
"Wait a minute, who is engaged to Xu Yao?"
Xu Zhongxiong was a little dumbfounded. This old man didn't know who his daughter was engaged to, so he came to attend the engagement banquet. He thought it was for the sake of the Sun family.
To put it this way, Chen Baojun probably did it for the sake of his Xu family.
Thinking of this, he felt a little smug: "Uncle Chen, my daughter's engagement partner is Sun Weixian, the grandson of the second master of the Sun family."
"Is it him?" Chen Baojun's eyes widened.
He didn't expect this result at all.
Seeing Chen Baojun's appearance, Xu Zhongxiong was secretly proud, thinking that Chen Baojun was shocked.
However, Chen Baojun's expression clearly contained an incredible mood.
At this time, the housekeeper called again to the head of the Liao family, Liao Zhengping.
"Uncle Liao is here too!" Xu Zhongxiong's eyes lit up.
Today, two Huajin masters actually came to attend Xu Yao's engagement banquet. This is really a big honor. It can be imagined that after today, the Xu family's reputation will be much greater.
Too long!
"Old Liao is here too!" Chen Baojun heard the voice and looked out the door.
Liao Zhengping entered the villa and saw Chen Baojun from a distance, striding over with a smile on his face.
"Brother Chen, you actually arrived first."
"I'm just here on the front foot!"
The two exchanged pleasantries.
"Uncle Liao, long time no see!" Xu Zhongxiong quickly handed over his hand.
Liao Zhengping looked around, ignoring Xu Zhongxiong who greeted him, and asked: "By the way, why are you standing at the door, Li Da... Well, where is little friend Li Rui?"
But they remembered that Li Rui told him not long ago not to call him master in front of others.
Chen Baojun quickly pulled the corner of Liao Zhengping's clothes, wrapping his inner strength around the sound to prevent Xu Zhongxiong from hearing it.
"The person Xu Yao is engaged to is not Master Li, but that boy Sun Weixian."
Liao Zhengping's expression changed slightly, and he also used sound transmission and responded: "Why is it him? Shouldn't it be Master Li?"
"I don't know either!" Chen Baojun was also confused.
However, this is someone else's engagement party. It's too offensive to ask the host why his fiancé is not someone else.
Hua Jin's sound transmission method is still very rough, and a master of Hua Jin can intercept it, but with Xu Zhongxiong's level, he still doesn't know what the two people are talking about.
He smiled awkwardly and asked: "You two, who is Li Rui?"
"One of our friends." Chen Baojun replied.
"I see you still have guests, go and entertain them yourself! Let us two old guys go chat by ourselves." Liao Zhengping quickly dismissed Xu Zhongxiong and took Chen Baojun aside.
Seeing the two old and four young children leaving, Xu Zhongxiong's face was filled with countless question marks.
He called the steward and asked, "Do you know who Li Rui is?"
"I don't know." The two stewards looked at each other and said they didn't know.
"It must be an important person, but I didn't ask clearly and didn't send the invitation." Xu Zhongxiong muttered for a few times, looked at the steward on the left, and said, "Please tell me, if someone named Li Rui comes,
Yes, let him in directly, he probably didn’t get an invitation."
After finishing speaking, Xu Zhongxiong felt that he was too smart and witty.
With a few words from the two big guys, a lot of trouble was avoided.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the remaining stewards and asked, "Now, which families on the invitation list are here?"
"Go home, Master, everyone is here."
"Our Nanyuan Cai family only has Mr. Cai Mingtian here. Other families, including the Huang, Chen, Zhou, Zheng, and Lu families, have also visited. The four major families in Shangyang City, as well as the Kang family, Wen family and other families have also visited.
It has arrived. In addition..."
"However, our Nanyuan City, the Su family did not come."
Listening to the manager's report, Xu Zhongxiong kept nodding.
"Forget it if the Su family doesn't come." Last time something happened to the Su family, they didn't send anyone to help, so it was understandable that the other party didn't come.
Overall, Xu Zhongxiong was very satisfied. This time, people from all the big families in the four surrounding provinces, including Shangyang City, a municipality directly under the Central Government, came to attend the engagement banquet.
It can be said that this engagement banquet was unprecedented in scale with guests from all over the world.
There are simply not many families that can accomplish such a large battle.
"Ouyang family, Ouyang is here!"
Suddenly hearing this voice, Xu Zhongxiong couldn't help but his forehead jumped a few times, and his eyes were a little fearful.
"Ouyang Ye is here too!"
"What gifts did Ouyang Ye bring?" He looked at Ouyang Ye from a distance, walked aside, not wanting to meet him, and then went to the steward and asked.
"The head of the family, Ouyang Yeta..."
"What's wrong with him?"
"He brought nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine wild chrysanthemums with him!"
Xu Zhongxiong suddenly turned red with anger: "This is unreasonable!"
Is there anyone who gives chrysanthemums to an engagement party?
"Didn't he have a good personal relationship with Xu Yao?" If it weren't for the Ouyang family that he couldn't afford to offend, he would really want to blast this troublesome guy away.
"We don't know either!"
Several stewards smiled bitterly.
One person asked curiously: "Master, does Ouyang Ye like the young lady and want to come and ruin the engagement party?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhongxiong's face became particularly ugly.
Who doesn't know that Ouyang Ye doesn't have a few years to live, and he must not be allowed to harm his daughter.
"Everyone, keep an eye on Ouyang Ye and don't let him do anything bad."
"yes!"
Seeing his subordinates leaving one after another, Xu Zhongxiong was still worried and walked quickly towards Sun Yecheng and the others.
…
In Xu Yao's boudoir, Xu Chan looked at the bustling hall through the crack in the door.
"Sister, it's so lively down there!"
Xu Yao was wearing pajamas at this time, with one foot on the desk, absently browsing Weibo. There was also a beautiful white gauze set on the table, which I heard Sun Weixian brought back from abroad.
"Oh!" Xu Yao replied lightly, and continued to scroll through her phone.
At this time, her hair had a small amount of hair oil, and a few strands of hair were gathered together, like moist noodles. It could be seen that she had not washed her hair for a week.
A goddess looks so sloppy, I don’t know how many people will be shocked.
But in fact, this was the first time in Xu Yao's life that she didn't pay attention to her personal hygiene. She really didn't want to do anything. She stayed with her phone all day long, charging it when it ran out of power, and holding her phone while eating. She never left it.
"Sister, there are really a lot of guests down here. I heard from brother Mingtian that there are so many big shots here today, and our Xu family can't afford to offend them!"
"Oh!" Xu Chan responded with another emotionless word.
Xu Chan didn't take it seriously. She came to Xu Yao's side and lifted up her beautiful dress to look at it.
"Sister, you are engaged today, why are you unhappy?"
"Isn't this skirt pretty?" As she spoke, she looked in the mirror, wondering how much she wished she could wear this super beautiful skirt.
Because of her studies, she hasn't bought many skirts for a long time.
"You can wear it if you like." Xu Yao closed her phone and looked at the sky outside the window.
