The engagement party tonight was not normal at all.
“Si Chen!” Old Master Bo berated.
Bo Sichen didn’t respond to him at all. Instead, he faced the audience and said calmly.
“There has always been only one engagement ceremony in this banquet hall tonight. If the eldest daughter of the Yuan family wants to get engaged, I’m afraid she will have to change the venue! There’s no reason for someone else’s engagement banquet to be occupied by someone else! If news of this gets out, it will be easy for others to criticize her for taking over!”
A dove occupying a magpie’s nest…
This word successfully made Lou Ruoyi laugh.
“A dove occupying a magpie’s nest? That’s a suitable word to describe them!” At the end of her sentence, Lou Ruoyi gritted her teeth.
Ye Zhiqing’s face changed.
“Sister-in-law, what do you mean?!” She couldn’t help but walk to Lou Ruoyi, her tone almost exasperated.
Lou Ruoyi glanced at her and smiled coldly. “Why? Do you want me to explain it to you?”
“You…”
Standing on the stage, Yuan Sichun felt even more at a loss after being treated so casually by Bo Sichen. She was so nervous that she looked aggrieved.
“Uncle Bo, how can you do this to me? I really love you…”
“It’s almost time for the ceremony. This place doesn’t belong to you for the time being. Leave!”
Bo Sichen interrupted Yuan Sichun’s feeble and pitiful attempt to convince him. In the end, he ordered her to leave.
Yuan Sichun’s words were stuck in her throat. Then, she looked at the old man aggrievedly.
“Bo Sichen, you’re despicable!” Old Master Bo’s heart was filled with anger when his own son retorted in front of so many people and went against him without caring about his reputation!
“Since you don’t want to leave, stay here. You’re the one who’s embarrassing yourself. Don’t blame me for not giving you face.”
Yuan Sichun didn’t know what Bo Sichen meant.
Old Master was so angry that he panted heavily!
“Are you looking down on me as your father?”
Bo Sichen acted as if he didn’t hear her. He looked down at his watch and paused for a while. Then, he looked up and swept his gaze across the crowd.
Then, he pursed his lips and retracted his gaze.
“The engagement ceremony will begin now. Please hold hands on stage.”
Yuan Sichun’s heart skipped a beat!
Hand in hand?!
Could it be that Brother Bo… had returned?
Everyone was also surprised!
So CEO Shen really didn’t cancel the engagement!
Then, they would be able to see who the mysterious fiancé was today!
No, perhaps it should be said that they knew today whether CEO Shen’s fiancé was the CEO of the Bo Consortium.
Bo Sichen looked at the door that led to the lounge.
Everyone turned to look.
Lou Ruoyi closed her eyes. She could understand what Bo Sichen was doing.
She was already disappointed.
After Bo Sichen finished speaking, the Old Lady held Shen Fanxing’s hand and Lai Rong pushed the wheelchair out slowly.
There was no one else but the three of them.
Everyone was surprised and looked at each other.
What happened to the two newcomers going on stage hand in hand?
Old Master Bo sneered when he didn’t see Bo Jinchuan.
Yuan Sichun heaved a sigh of relief.
Halfway through, Shen Fanxing suddenly stopped and bent down. With a faint smile on her face, she said to Old Lady Bo, “Grandma, please send me here.”
Old Lady Bo’s heart ached and she held her hand tightly. “I’ll send you there.”
Shen Fanxing pursed her lips and said, “It’s alright, I can do it.”
She had to face what she had to face!
There was nothing that scared Shen Fanxing.
“Fanxing…” Old Lady Bo didn’t want to let go.
Although the road from here to the stage seemed to be only a few steps away, it was more painful than walking barefoot on a sharp blade.
Bo Jinchuan, that rascal, he actually… at this juncture…
Tears welled up in the old lady’s eyes. As an elder, her heart ached for Fanxing, including her past and present!
As a woman, her heart ached for everything she had to endure. She thought that Jinchuan wouldn’t let her cry again, but she didn’t expect him to let her go at the engagement ceremony…
She was such a beautiful and kind child…
Seeing the old lady like this, Shen Fanxing smiled and said,
“Grandma, don’t worry. It’s just an engagement ceremony. I’m not the only one here. My engagement with Ah Chuan doesn’t count.”
“Yes! Yes, yes!”
The old lady nodded vigorously. She had not cried for decades, but tears still fell.
Her heart ached for Shen Fanxing’s determination.
She wasn’t strong.
How could he be strong?!
It wasn’t like she was holding an engagement ceremony alone. It wasn’t like that…
This was a fatal injury and an irreparable regret!
How could it be…
Shen Fanxing blinked and straightened her body slowly. In the end, she lifted her skirt slightly and walked towards the stage.
Her long dress swayed and wrapped around her tall and slender figure. Her black hair was tied up, revealing her beautiful and slender neck. Her platinum tasseled earrings swayed gently as she walked, occasionally reflecting a dazzling luster.
She was dressed casually and her eyes were calm and cold.
She raised her head slightly and walked in the middle of the path that everyone had made for her.
Calm and indifferent, arrogant and confident.
It was a cold and aloof beauty. Some people were infatuated with her, but no one could compare to her.
That was a unique aura that had fused into her bones and blood.
The hall was full of guests.
Everyone stared at her.
“Why is she alone?”
“How can there be only one person at the engagement party?”
“Did she really break off the engagement? Is this her last bit of stubbornness?”
“Then what’s the point of holding it?”
“Why don’t we cancel it now? Wouldn’t it be more troublesome to explain in the future?”
“Why make things difficult for yourself?”
“That’s right. Even if she didn’t break off the engagement, leaving her alone on such an important day means that she doesn’t care much about her.”
“You just told Miss Yuan that it’s normal for men to be busy.”
“That’s right. They’re childhood sweethearts. After coming and going for so long, they don’t care about the formalities anymore. Didn’t you see that the news of the engagement was only announced when it was close? She’s low-profile. How can she be the same as CEO Shen who announced the engagement in a high-profile manner?”
Even though she had convinced herself not to care about her surroundings, those words still left deep pits in her heart.
