Because Xu Yao was unwilling to participate in the discussion of the engagement process, today's engagement banquet was arranged briefly.
Xu Yao even moved the hotel banquet to the villa because she didn't want to move around.
When everyone was seated, Sun Yecheng took Sun Weixian around to meet the guests and talk to them.
"Father-in-law, why hasn't Yaoyao shown up yet?"
Sun Weixian was waiting to go on stage with Xu Yao to give a speech and then toast together. Why did he wait for a long time and still not see the real host?
"Yao Yao hasn't come yet?" Xu Zhongxiong was confused.
While they were talking, Xu Yao came out.
She was wearing the simple T-shirt and sweatpants she wore when she first met Li Rui, and fresh sneakers on her feet. She looked like she was going out for a run.
Her hair, which had been washed clean at this time, exuded the fragrance of flowers and was draped damply on her shoulders.
"Why are you wearing this outfit?"
Seeing the white gauze skirt still lying on the table, Xu Zhongxiong looked unhappy.
"As an ancient warrior, why do I have to wear such a long skirt? It hinders my walking."
Xu Yao raised her head and spoke firmly.
Inside, she had only one idea.
If she hadn't married the man she loved, she would never have worn a white wedding dress and evening gown in her life.
She came to the hall and saw countless eyes focused on her face. She turned around without a smile, found a table at random, and ate her food.
Cai Mingtian was at the main table and poured her a cup of tea.
"Why are you engaged to him?"
Xu Yao shook her head and did not respond.
After a few seconds, she asked: "Is he here?"
Seeing Cai Mingtian shaking his head, Xu Yao's eyes were a little gloomy.
"Who is 'him'?" Huang Xinhu asked in a low voice.
It's a pity that no one answered him at all.
At the same time, Xu Zhongxiong, who was happily chatting with his in-laws, also tilted his head and asked the manager: "Is that mysterious man named Li Rui here?"
"Didn't come."
"Has anyone sent someone to ask Head Chen?"
The steward smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Master, I sent someone to ask, but they kept silent."
Sun Yecheng was a little curious when he heard this: "Who is Li Rui?"
"Maybe he's a senior expert?"
Xu Zhongxiong expressed his confusion.
Sun Weixian, who had been busy for a long time, saw Xu Yao who had just washed her hair and felt that she was as bright and charming as a hibiscus. She worked even harder to entertain the guests.
"Thank you all for coming and attending my engagement party with Xu Yao!"
"When I was 13 years old, I came to Nanyuan City to study and met Miss Xu Yao once..."
He talked about every detail of his relationship with Xu Yao affectionately, as if he was painting a beautiful picture.
Xu Yao was not listening to him, otherwise she would have beaten him to stop him from being emotional.
She had never noticed that there was such a man surrounding him all the time and that there were so many dramas in her heart.
He was eating his food indifferently when suddenly the crowd became restless.
She raised her head in confusion and saw Sun Weixian coming to her holding flowers and rings.
There is also a red string hanging on the ring.
"Yao Yao, marry me!" Sun Weixian said affectionately.
Xu Yao held chopsticks in her right hand and looked at him blankly.
The air is quiet.
Everyone is waiting for Xu Yao's reply.
At this time, Xu Yao's mouth moved and made a chewing sound.
Sun Weixian: "..."
A group of guests: "..."
Xu Zhongxiong: "..."
Cai Mingtian: "..."
…
Among the crowd, Lu Xing's forehead was covered with black dots, and he muttered: "Why does this action look so familiar?"
Although he and Li Rui rarely got along with each other, they had at least seven or eight meals together.
That look of eating with peace of mind no matter what others say, and making people want to beat him up, is almost exactly the same.
"But having said that, Li Rui hasn't responded to messages recently. What's going on with him and Xu Yao?"
Doubtful in his heart, Lu Xing did not dare to ask his father.
"Yaoyao, will you marry me?"
Under the spotlight, Sun Weixian felt embarrassed and could only ask another question.
After swallowing the food, Xu Yao sighed and looked at her father with sad eyes.
Those eyes were firm, unquestionable, and even tinged with anger.
"If I refuse, my father will even sever the father-daughter relationship with me, right?"
Smiling bitterly in her heart, Xu Yao slowly stood up and a salty tear couldn't help but flow down.
“The bride is touched!”
"Wow, I'm so envious!"
The crowd sent blessings from time to time.
"I wish..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xu Yao was already choked with sobs.
The man in front of me is indeed quite good, but since the first time they were similar many years ago, he has never left a shadow in my heart.
Everyone held their breath.
Obviously, the last word left is "meaning".
Just when everyone was ready to applaud and congratulate, and the waiter outside the door was preparing to set off fireworks, Xu Zhongxiong and Sun Yecheng raised their hands together, ready to respond to everyone's congratulations...
"I'm sorry, I don't want to!" After saying this, Xu Yao felt that her depressed heart finally relaxed.
The guests were in an uproar!
"Rejected?"
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this too hurtful?"
Everyone is confused. It seems that the situation is fine, so why did they refuse?
In the upper class society, they have never experienced that when someone's daughter or young hero is engaged, someone will regret it midway. Even if they don't want to, they will save some face for the other party and break up after the end.
"Good job."
An abrupt sentence suddenly caused everyone to curse.
"Who is causing trouble!"
Xu Zhongxiong was so angry at Xu Yao that his beard trembled. When he heard this, his hair almost exploded.
"It won't be a big deal if it causes trouble!"
The man's voice was confident and calm, as if he despised all order in the world, no matter how mortals commented, slandered or questioned him.
Everyone got out of the way, and Li Rui, wearing cheap street clothes, appeared in front of everyone.
"Whose bastard is this?"
Sun Yecheng stared and asked loudly.
The Sun family is at the height of its power, and they even have a big hand in it. Among the four provinces and cities in the triangle area, who dares not to give the Sun family face? This young man actually dares to blatantly look for trouble.
"hehe!"
Smiling disdainfully at Sun Yecheng, Li Rui looked at Xu Yao with a sincere and low voice: "I'm sorry, I've figured it out. You'd better come back to me!"
"You are such a scumbag!"
Xu Yao's eyes suddenly turned red.
She rushed forward to Li Rui, pouring her inner strength into her fists without any reservation.
However, she is no match for Li Rui.
The right hand carrying the roaring wind was instantly pinched by Li Rui.
He pulled Xu Yao into his arms with a strong tug.
"I hate you!" Xu Yao hammered Li Rui's shoulder so hard that her clothes were torn, which showed that she showed no mercy at all.
"There are quite a lot of people, suitable for proposing." No matter how hard Xu Yao tried, Li Rui smiled and said, "However, these people are too low-level. If we want to do it, let's make it big."
Xu Yao's hand suddenly stopped and she let out a sound of "Hmm" as light as a mosquito.
"Who is this person?"
“You’re not ashamed to talk big, but you still want to do something big?”
"Whose poor boy wants to hold an engagement party that is bigger than the Sun family's? Who do you think you are?"
Those who looked down on Li Rui, those who wanted to curry favor with the Sun family, or some rich men and heads of big families who wanted to curry favor with the Xu family couldn't help but mock him.
"The Sun family already has two Huajin Grandmasters. Even if they move to Yan City, they will still have a chance to compete for the position of the first-tier family. There is no way this kid can compare with it."
"You don't even know what a piece of shit you look like. You can't even afford decent clothes."
"Xu Yao broke after two hammer blows. I'm afraid it's not made of paper, right?"
All kinds of mocking sounds came, getting more and more unpleasant and harsh.
Li Rui didn't react at all, but Xu Yao's expression became worse and worse.
The most angry ones were undoubtedly Xu Zhongxiong and Sun Yecheng, while Sun Weixian was already lying on the ground, half-kneeling!
Although everyone was mocking Li Rui, they were also slapping the Sun family in the face, as if they were saying that his huge Sun family was not as good as a nobody.
"Boy, who are you?"
Sun Yecheng suppressed his voice and looked at Li Rui fiercely.
Seeing Li Rui glance at him with such disdain, he almost went berserk and killed someone.
Sun Yecheng looked at Xu Zhongxiong, who was equally shocked and angry, and asked, "Brother Xu, I need an explanation!"
Today, the Xu family has lost a lot of face.
His eyes seemed to be saying, haven't you already settled Xu Yao? Now that you are in a scene with everyone, is it still impossible to act?
He must regain his position and let others know that the Sun family cannot be deceived or provoked.
"I don't know him either!"
Xu Zhongxiong gritted his teeth and came to Xu Yao in a few steps, trying to pull her out of Li Rui's arms.
Li Rui stepped back and avoided him.
This skill shocked Xu Zhongxiong, and Xu Yao was still able to avoid his sneak attack.
He suddenly remembered that Li Rui could be hit by Xu Yao so many times without being injured. He was probably not as powerful as him, and he immediately became wary.
"Who are you?"
"I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname, Li Rui!" The other party was Xu Yao's father, and Li Rui didn't intend to cause too much trouble.
"You are Li Rui!"
Xu Zhongxiong exclaimed, he thought Li Rui was a little old man!
"Who are you?"
"I'm just a small owner of a wonton shop!" Li Rui gritted his teeth.
Guests: "..."
Ouyang Ye: "..."
Cai Mingtian: "..."
…
Xu Zhongxiong's face instantly darkened. A small boss dared to provoke his own daughter.
"Xu Yao, come out!" He called his daughter's name angrily.
At this time, Sun Weixian also calmed down and walked over with a gloomy face.
"The owner of the wonton shop?"
"Yes, my store is in front of Qinming University. All bosses are welcome to come and support me!"
Li Rui was still showing off shamelessly.
"A wonton shop owner also wants to marry my daughter?"
"The owner of a wonton shop also stole women from me!"
Almost without looking back, Xu Zhongxiong and Sun Weixian both spoke, their voices filled with strong dissatisfaction and disdain for Li Rui.
"Dad, as long as I'm with him, I'm willing to do anything."
The moment she saw Li Rui, Xu Yao had completely forgotten what Li Rui had said. She just wanted to stay by Li Rui's side and never let go.
Some women who are passionately in love will abandon all prejudices and even give up their dignity.
Xu Yao has reached such a state.
"I don't allow it!" Xu Zhongxiong said loudly with red eyes.
"I don't agree either!" Sun Weixian also exclaimed.
"What did you see in him?"
"Is he more handsome than me? Is he taller than me? Is he stronger than me? Is he as powerful as my Sun family?"
A series of questions ignited everyone's emotions.
Although the words were a little ugly, they were recognized by everyone.
"Don't make any noise!" Li Rui frowned.
He looked Sun Weixian up and down and sneered: "Apart from being 0.2 millimeters taller than me, what else can you compare to me? I'm obviously a hundred times more handsome than you, okay?"
At this moment, he looked at Ouyang Ye who had squeezed to the front of the crowd and asked, "What do you think?"
Ouyang Ye nodded repeatedly and said: "Boss, you are indeed more handsome than him, and you are also more talented and more temperamental than him!"
"Young boy Ouyang is right!" Chen Baojun also walked over and laughed: "Young boy Li Rui is indeed more handsome than Sun Weixian, and girl Xu Yao has a good eye!"
Sun Weixian's face was ashen and he felt a little shaken inside.
He's handsome and can really be eaten.
"So what? This unknown guy is more powerful than my Sun family. What qualifications does he have to be worthy of Xu Yao?"
