Even though she had convinced herself not to care about her surroundings, those words still left deep pits in her heart.
Shen Fanxing tightened her grip on the hem of her dress and swallowed the bitterness in her heart. Her long eyelashes fluttered as she continued walking.
With every step Shen Fanxing took, the sounds of discussion became softer.
“But CEO Shen… is really beautiful.”
“Yes, she’s so beautiful that I don’t dare to get too close to her.”
When Shen Fanxing walked onto the stage and stood in the middle, her cold and dazzling aura instantly suppressed Yuan Sichun.
After a series of exclamations and praises, Yuan Sichun completely became a foil!
It was only then that everyone realized what Bo Sichen meant by humiliating himself.
“She’s the eldest daughter of the Yuan family, but compared to CEO Shen, she seems a little petty.”
“Yes, in comparison, CEO Shen’s aura is simply 2.8 meters tall.”
“Yes, no wonder the Viscount of Country Y took a fancy to…”
Yuan Sichun stood at the side, feeling humiliated.
Old Master Bo glared at her while Yuan Sichun glared at her.
Shen Fanxing could feel the resentful gazes behind her and knew that everyone’s attention was on her.
She took the microphone calmly and looked at the audience. She said slowly,
“Tonight is Shen Fanxing’s engagement ceremony. Although you were my guests at the start, I’ve just heard that some of you want to attend Miss Yuan’s engagement ceremony…”
Her calm and indifferent voice resounded clearly throughout the banquet hall. She paused and her starry eyes slowly swept across the audience as she spat out coldly.
“Please leave.”
The people who had just flattered Yuan Sichun felt awkward.
Some people flew into a rage out of humiliation and couldn’t help but say,
“I’m here today to sincerely wish CEO Shen well. Aren’t you going overboard by being so heartless?”
“We’re here to give you face. It’s not up to you to decide whose engagement party you want to attend.”
Shen Fanxing smiled and said, “Of course. As long as you’re not attending my engagement party.”
“Who… who cares…”
“You don’t know what’s good for you!”
“You didn’t even attend the engagement party. Ha…”
“Let’s go, let’s go. Compared to watching this ridiculous engagement party, it’s naturally more meaningful to watch the engagement party between the eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the CEO of the Bo Consortium.”
Although the dissatisfied mutterings below the stage were deliberately suppressed, it still inevitably reached the stage.
Shen Fanxing held the microphone with one hand and the hem of her gown with the other. She stood silently in the middle of the stage.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds…
Her face was calm as she stood at the front of the stage. Her palms that were holding onto the hem of her clothes were cold and trembling.
She was quiet and silent…
He waited.
It was as if her Ah Chuan would appear one second later.
She waited, hoping…
Her palms turned colder and her lips trembled uncontrollably…
Looking at the lonely woman who seemed to have been abandoned by the world, Song Xiao couldn’t help but speak.
“Young Master…”
Qi Mohan stared at the stubborn woman on stage with dark eyes and said coldly,
“Just you wait! Let’s see how long she can last.”
In other corners, there were also people eager to try.
At this moment, Old Master Bo, who was standing behind Shen Fanxing, spoke coldly.
“Why are you so stubborn? You should know that even if he can make it back in time, I won’t let him appear here.”
The crowd who had been silent for a long time gradually lost their patience and said,
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Isn’t it an engagement ceremony? Aren’t we starting?”
Shen Fanxing’s eyelashes fluttered and her grip on her skirt turned pale.
Yuan Sichun heaved a sigh of relief, but she didn’t want Shen Fanxing to delay any longer.
She curled her lips and walked towards Shen Fanxing slowly.
“Miss Shen, why don’t you cancel the engagement today? It’s useless to delay it. It’s a waste of time.”
“CEO Shen, if you have no choice, cancel the engagement party first…”
“Right, let’s give the venue to Miss Yuan…”
“Yeah…”
Shen Fanxing ignored the commotion in the banquet hall.
However, she still gripped the microphone tightly, her stubborn and cold eyes trembling uncontrollably.
When Yuan Sichun saw her like this, the corners of her lips curled up imperceptibly.
Now that Shen Fanxing was holding the engagement party alone, it proved that Brother Bo wouldn’t appear.
Based on how much Brother Bo doted on Shen Fanxing in the past, if it wasn’t because she couldn’t make it, why would he let her hold the engagement party alone?
She was sure that Brother Bo wasn’t coming back tonight.
Shen Fanxing had finally suffered a setback today.
In that case, she might as well embarrass her.
Raising an eyebrow, she approached Shen Fanxing and whispered,
“Miss Shen, since it’s your engagement ceremony, then… where’s your fiancé?”
Hearing this, Shen Fanxing turned her head to look at her. Suppressing the uneasiness in her eyes, she stared at her coldly.
“Miss Yuan, what do you want to say?”
“Nothing, I’m just curious. However, as Brother Bo’s fiancée, I’ve naturally heard that your fiancé is Brother Bo. Oh, that is… the CEO of the Bo Consortium?”
As she spoke, she stroked her hair and smiled confidently.
The moment he said that, the crowd went into an uproar. Even Old Master frowned.
Was she trying to stir up trouble?
“As expected…”
“I knew it. There must be a connection.”
“That’s awkward. So who is the CEO’s fiancée?”
“Needless to say, she’s the eldest daughter of the Yuan family!”
Someone suddenly spoke loudly and confidently.
“That’s right. The Yuan family and the Bo family are aristocratic families. The eldest daughter of the Yuan family and the CEO are childhood sweethearts. It’s natural for them to be together.”
“Although CEO Shen is considered one of the top figures in Ping Cheng City, her family background is nothing compared to the eldest daughter of the Yuan family.”
Jiang Rongrong felt even more embarrassed.
“Of all people, why did it have to be Miss Yuan’s fiancé? Why didn’t you follow Viscount Leisi? Why did you have to snatch someone else’s fiancé? Who taught you to be so addicted to snatching someone else’s man? Before you speak, don’t you think about yourself? What kind of family background does the Bo family have? What kind of status does the CEO have? Why would he like you?!”
As she spoke, she rushed onto the stage.
“Don’t embarrass yourself here. Get down!”
She wanted to go on stage to pull Shen Fanxing down forcefully, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. He grabbed her arm and threw Jiang Rongrong off the stage mercilessly!
