Ouyang Mingqi and Xia Ruolin came downstairs shortly and they seemed to be getting along really well.
Xia Ruolin did not lose her temper and she was holding hands with Ouyang Mingqi.
Xue Zhiqing was relieved, “Come over for dinner. You’ve been shutting yourself in the room the whole day. Only Mingqi can persuade to you come down.”
Xue Zhiqing was relieved to see that they are getting along so well.
Xia Ruolin must marry Ouyang Mingqi.
The engagement ceremony was held two days later in Beijing’s largest five-star hotel.
A lot of guests showed up. They congratulated Xia Ruolin, but in fact, they were looking around to see if Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen were here.
Xue Zhiqing released the news a day ago that he had invited Mo Beichen to attend the engagement ceremony.
Although many people were feeling doubtful, they still attend the engagement ceremony. Because, if the relationship between the Xia Family and the Mo Family were good, they were willing to resume business dealings with the Xia Family.
“Why isn’t President Mo here yet?” Another guest asked Xue Zhiqing politely.
“Haha. He’ll a little late.” Xue Zhiqing said immediately.
However, everyone is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. Who is really there to bless Xia Roulin earnestly?
“What is all this? Xia Weilan is really too much. Since she agreed to come, why is she late?” Xia Ruolin’s face was hideous.
If Xia Weilan doesn’t show up, does that mean the engagement ceremony cannot begin?
Ouyang Mingqi was bothered at all. It seemed as if Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen’s arrival had nothing to do with him at all. He just stood beside Xia Ruolin and smiled without saying anything.
But when the guests made a commotion, Ouyang Mingqi still instinctively looked at the entrance and widened his eyes.
At the entrance, an elegant woman in a purple evening gown walked in with her arm linked with the arm of a man who looked as noble as a king.
They were Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen who came late.
“President Mo, Miss Xia!” The guests who were already seated stood up and gathered around Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen.
Those who don’t know would think that it was Xia Weilan who is getting engaged today.
The situation is really awkward.
Xia Ruolin didn’t expect Xia Mei to invite Xia Weilan, and Xia Weilan would really come.
She was surprised at first and then she started to get angry.
Is Xia Weilan here to cause trouble deliberately? She even showed up wearing a matching couple outfit with Mo Beichen!
Xue Zhiqing and 2nd Maste Xia immediately greeted them with smiles, “You’re here, finally. Come, have a seat.”
“Hmmph, what is so amazing about them?!” Xia Roulin’s cold words made the whole banquet hall quiet.
Xia Weilan who was about to sit down paused and looked at Xia Ruolin when she heard her words, “What did you say?”
Xia Ruolin sneered, “You showed up late and made a grand entry. This is my engagement ceremony.”
Everyone looked at Xia Ruolin in embarrassment, this was indeed her engagement. But more than half of the people at the banquet came because of Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan. How dare she say something like that when President Mo is willing to show up at her banquet.
Everyone gasped.
Mo Beichen frowned and everyone was even more afraid to say anything. He suddenly stood up and took Xia Wielan’s hand, “Since Weilan is unhappy, there’s no reason for me to be here. Let’s go.”
With that, Mo Beichen was about to leave with Xia Weilan with a cold face. He didn’t bring Xia Weilan here to be mistreated, so of course, he would not tolerate this at all.
“Don’t leave!” Xue Zhiqing stepped forward immediately, “The little girl is insensible. Don’t be offended, Beichen. Roulin, come apologize quickly!”
If Mo Beichen left like this, the shares of the Xia Corps would surely go through another turmoil tomorrow.
Xia Mei gave a push at Xia Ruolin. She gritted her teeth and said, “Weilan, I’ve been insensitive with my words. Please take a seat.”
“That’s right, a family should get along in harmony.” Xia Mei also looked at Xia Weilan.
Xia Weilan raised her eyebrows and then sat down with Mo Beichen.
Someone immediately rushed forward to compliment Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen, “President Mo and Miss Xia are really match made in heaven.”
“Yeah, you are so sweet together. President Mo is threatening Miss Xia really well.”
Xia Ruolin felt that she had been slapped in the face. Why should someone go to compliment Xia Weilan at her engagement banquet?
Ouyang Mingqi appeared calm. He suddenly said to the crowds gathering around Xia Weilan and Mo Beichen, “Thank you for coming today. Please have a seat.”
The crowd slowly walked away.
Ouyang Mingqi took Xia Ruolin onto the stage, and the spotlights were on them.
The giant screen showed Xia Roulin and Ouyang Mingqi’s pre-wedding pictures.
“I met Ruolin two years ago. At that time, she was still very young, so I could only admire her silently. Later on, I finally got a chance to meet her at a party again and I had the opportunity to talk to her. I never expected that my dream would come true and we are finally getting engaged. It has been a wonderful journey from getting to know each other to fall in love with each other.”
Ouyang Mingqi took Xia Ruolin’s hand and confessed with great emotion and it earned a wild round of applause from the guests.
Xia Ruolin was in a daze. If it wasn’t because her knowing that all this was made up, she would have been touched by Ouyang Mingqi’s perfect story.
Why is this person so shrewd? His words were flawless.
And with that, the engagement ceremony officially began.
Ouyang Mingqi greeted the guest’s table after table, acting very decently. Xia Ruolin also felt a little proud about this.
But when Ouyang Mingqi came to Xia Weilan’s table, Xia Roulin captured the glow in his eyes.
“Weilan, we met again. Every time I see you, you give off a different feeling.” Ouyang Mingqi complimented.
“Oh, Bro-in-law, you also surprise me every time.” Xia Weilan said that sarcastically. He really is some character for making an illicit sexual relationship sound so touching.
They complimented each other. Others might not be able to hear it, but they knew it clearly in their heart.
Ouyang Mingqi smiled and made a toast with Mo Beichen.
Mo Beichen emptied with a sip without saying a word.
But Liu Yinyin, who stood beside Xia Ruolin, eyes brightened.
She noticed Ouyang Mingqi’s admiration for Xia Weilan.
Liu Yinyin secretly pulled Xia Ruolin over, and said to her, “Why are you so silly? Didn’t you see that Ouyang Mingqi has special feelings for Xia Weilan? Xia Weilan returned a smile to your husband. She’s flirting with him, how can you stand this?”
Xia Ruolin saw that although Ouyang Mingqi had walked away, he still gazed at Xia Weilan from time to time. She got so worked up that she was starting to pant, “I knew that Xia Weilan is not an innocent person. But it looks like I’ve underestimated her!”
Xia Weilan took a few mouthfuls of food and she felt Xia Roulin’s hatred stare on her.
Xia Weilan could only pretend that she didn’t see it. She put down her chopsticks and said, “I’m already full. Let’s go. It’s really too boring here.”
