Lu Shaoyang’s pupils constricted, unable to say a single word. Without needing him to answer, Shen Hanxing had already gotten the answer from his gaze.
“Heh… the person you love the most will always be yourself,” Shen Hanxing sighed softly. Then, she sneered, “you wouldn’t have stopped before, and neither would I. Lu Shaoyang, stop dreaming. I don’t love you. I don’t hate you either. I will make you pay for what you’ve done. Don’t tell me that you love me or you like me. It disgusts me. I want to vomit when I hear it.” Using the name of love to take advantage of a woman was sullying love! Lu Shaoyang’s love could only touch himself. Shen Hanxing was lazy to pursue the matter. She lifted her head and looked at Ji Yan, who stood beside her. In front of everyone, she extended her hand and said with a smile, “Mr. Ji, let’s go home.”
Ji Yan’s ice-cold black eyes instantly melted. In the past, Ji Yan had never felt that home was a special place. The cold house, the estranged siblings, they were all unemotional relatives. But now, when he heard Shen Hanxing say that they were going home, he felt warm. He grabbed Shen Hanxing’s hand, and he smiled. “Okay, let’s go home.”
Shen Hanxing handed the microphone to the host behind her. The host subconsciously took a step forward and respectfully bent down to take the microphone from Shen Hanxing.
Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan held hands and elegantly and calmly left the messy engagement ceremony venue. Across the road at the hotel’s entrance was a black car. Lu Feng leaned against the car door, smoking as he looked coldly at the hotel entrance. He revealed a plastered grin when he saw Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing coming out. At this moment, he was different from the gentle, refined, and slightly experienced middle-aged man.
Shen Hanxing lifted her head and slightly nodded at Lu Feng across the road. The two of them did not speak. Their gazes intertwined as if they had reached some tacit understanding. Soon, their eyes moved away.
Ji Yan quietly stood at the side and opened the car door. “Hanxing.”
Shen Hanxing smiled at Ji Yan. The two of them got into the car and left. As Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing went, the engagement banquet became noisy. The news media did not care much, only to out more explosive news. They rushed up and surrounded Lu Shaoyang. “Mr. Lu, you said you have been in love with Mrs. Ji for a long time. Have you known Mrs. Ji for a long time?”
“Mr. Lu, have you ever dated Mrs. Ji? Why did you choose to say these words at the engagement ceremony? Have you communicated with Ms. Su about it?”
“Mr. Lu, do you have anything to say about Mrs. Ji’s rejection? Will your engagement with Ms. Su continue? When you confessed to Mrs. Ji, are you interfering and destroying her marriage?”
Some reporters asked Su Ling, “Miss Su, how are you feeling about your fiancé’s public repudiation of the engagement?” The questions drowned them, and the dazzling flashes never stopped.
“Get lost! Get lost!” Lu Shaoyang was furious. He grabbed the flower basket on the stage and randomly threw it in all directions. Su Ling sat on the ground with a defeated look. Seeing Lu Shaoyang’s crazy reaction, a sneer appeared on her face. That was the engagement ceremony she had been looking forward to for a long time. The insane man was the man she had wanted to marry for many years. The noise of the world seemed to be getting farther away from her. All of this was like a ridiculous farce that numbed her feelings. Her engagement ceremony had made her into a laughingstock!
In the end, the security personnel rushed up and drove the reporters away. When everything calmed down, they realized Lu Shaoyang was gone. Lu Guo and Madam Lu were not in the mood to care about Lu Shaoyang’s life and death. They could only suppress their anger and send the guests out with a smile.
……
Su Ling’s parents rushed up to help Su Ling get up. Seeing her daughter’s sad look, Su Ling’s mother was heartbroken. She could not help but burst into tears. “My poor daughter! That bastard Lu Shaoyang is too much! Our Xiaoling is so good. How dare he… D*mn it!” As she said that, she couldn’t help but vent her anger on Mr. Su. “it’s all your fault. Why did you make the engagement with the Lu Family? Xiaoling did nothing wrong. Now she is humiliated, and how will she face all these.”
