Chapter 196: Engagement Banquet with Frequent Accidents (3)
It is said that this set of gemstone jewelry disappeared for hundreds of years, but I didn’t expect it to appear here today.
Xiao Shiyu went to the door to greet Meng Changyuan, who placed the jewelry in his hands: "I hope that one day Weiwei can wear this phoenix crown when she gets married."
"I definitely will, thank you, godfather!"
Many people heard Xiao Shiyu calling him godfather and were full of curiosity about Meng Changyuan. Young people basically didn't know him. Only the heads of several major families were shocked. This man was a financial genius who was famous in the capital twenty years ago. He led the Meng family to glory at a young age. If the Meng family had not moved overseas, it would be hard to say who the richest man in the capital would be.
Xiao Shiyu chatted with him for a few words and asked Meng Yunchi to send the person upstairs. The rich girls who had just laughed at Nan Xuanwei had strange expressions on their faces. They were sure that Meng Changyuan was not Xiao Shiyu's godfather. If he was, it would be impossible for everyone to not hear any rumors. This proved that this man named Meng came for Nan Xuanwei.
Young Commander Wang had given her so many jades before, and now Patriarch Meng had given her Acacia, which has a very good meaning. They are all priceless treasures, which have earned her enough face. With gifts from both of them, who would dare to laugh at that little charlatan for being helpless?
These gifts are more than the dowry of ordinary wealthy families!
"Could it be that she sold talismans to the Wang and Meng families to help them catch ghosts? These two families owed her favors, and she begged them to come over today to give gifts and keep up appearances. I didn't expect that she was so scheming." Ling Ruoxuan was so angry when she saw that Nan Xuanwei had already stole the limelight before she even arrived.
"She is indeed good at tricks, otherwise how could she have deceived Xiao Shiyu? You don't know how well-behaved she is in front of the elders of the Xiao family. She is not as arrogant as she is outside and on the show. Everyone in the Xiao family has been deceived by her." Chen Luoyan became angry when she thought of the Xiao family's attitude towards Nan Xuanwei. She didn't know whether those people were too old or too blinded to think that she was simple and kind.
There were more and more guests, and Xiao Shiyu was smiling as he mingled with all kinds of people. Accompanying him were the Four Young Masters of the Imperial Capital, Meng Yunchi, and Cheng Chuan. Xiao Shijian, his cousin, could only watch from afar, and he felt very depressed.
"What does Shi Yu mean by this? Is he trying to save the Xiao family's reputation by isolating Shi Jian? Xiao Zhijue, just watch as your second uncle is being trampled underfoot. Are you a Ninja Turtle?" Chen Yue wanted to go find Xiao Shi Yu to argue with him, or his eldest sister-in-law. He had to get an explanation from them.
"Today is Shi Yu's engagement. He is free to do whatever he wants. If your son can find a girl with so many treasures when he gets engaged, I will also help him hold a grand engagement party."
He spends all day either hanging out with his bad friends or getting involved in gossip. No girl from a good family would be willing to be with him, so he just gives up and acts even more recklessly.
"If Shi Jian had a lot of money-making businesses to deal with, why would he go out and fool around? In the final analysis, you are useless. Dividing the family is no different from leaving the house with nothing. The eldest branch got so many benefits from the family division, and now the Meng and Wang families are involved. They eat the meat while we can't even have the soup."
"If you have the guts, go talk to Shi Yu. What's the point of getting angry with me?"
Let’s go. Chen Yue was so angry that she really wanted to go find Xiao Shiyu to argue. It was almost dusk at this moment, and many guests had gathered around the swimming pool and flower beds in the yard.
"Shi Yu, Second Auntie asks you..." Chen Yue was interrupted by the host halfway through her words.
The emcee gave a long opening speech, solemnly introducing Xiao Shiyu to everyone and asking him to go upstairs and invite Nan Xuanwei down.
"What do you want to talk to me about, Second Aunt? If it's not important, let's talk about it after today!" Xiao Shiyu glanced at Chen Yue with a warning, and narrowed his eyes. Whoever dared to cause trouble at his engagement ceremony was his enemy, and he would not let the other person go after things here were over.
When Chen Yue was swept by that cold gaze, his anger dissipated by more than half. It was not because he had come to terms with it, but because he was frightened.
Xiao Shiyu dusted off his suit, walked around Chen Yue and went upstairs. As soon as he approached the lounge, he heard laughter coming from inside. His expression melted at that moment, and the coldness in his body disappeared.
The door of the lounge was opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Liu Liu, who was unrestrained, flamboyant and extraordinarily handsome.
"Can you please stay in the lounge for a while and not go downstairs?" This evildoer was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him.
Liu Liu shook his head: "That won't do. I have been with the Master for twenty years. I must be present at such an important moment."
Xiao Qi also turned into a human form, a cute and fair-skinned little boy of seven or eight years old, leaning against Nan Xuanwei to make her laugh.
Fortunately, that monster Fanghua Beast did not show up, otherwise I would have become a supporting role in this engagement party.
"Are you ready, Xiaowu? We have discussed it and decided to let the eldest brother take you downstairs." Lin Mufei glanced at Xiao Shiyu. He wanted to take the little girl downstairs, but he was not allowed to do so.
After changing out of his Taoist robe and wearing a well-tailored suit, Le Qiu walked up to Nan Xuanwei and bent his arms: "Xiao Wu, Senior Brother will take you downstairs!"
"Okay!" With so many familiar people around, Nan Xuanwei's panicked heart gradually calmed down. She must perform well today and not lose face for Ziyun Temple and her master and senior brothers.
Seeing someone coming down from upstairs, there was a commotion in the hall. Ninety-nine percent of the people here saw Qiu for the first time and were all guessing his identity.
"Could this man be the fairy's biological father? He looks to be over 60 years old. I didn't expect that the fairy is the fertile fruit of an old tree." Someone said.
Nan Xuanwei shouted angrily: "Who said that just now? If you have the courage to say it, you should have the courage to stand up. This is my senior brother, the one who loves me the most. I won't allow anyone to slander him!"
There's too big a gap between this pair of senior and junior brothers and sisters. It's no wonder that some people misunderstand them, but Nan Xuanwei is too impatient. She started to find fault at the beginning of the engagement ceremony, completely disregarding the Xiao family's face. The girls were gloating and waiting for Xiao Shiyu to scold Nan Xuanwei, or to scare her so that she dared not say anything. This is what he did in the past when someone made him unhappy.
"Don't be angry, I will definitely help you find that person. The surveillance here has 360 degrees without blind spots, so we will definitely find out who that person is. Let me solemnly introduce to you all that this is my fiancée's senior brother, the one who raised her since she was a child. The relationship between senior and junior brothers is a hundred times stronger than that between father and daughter. From now on, anyone who disrespects my fiancée's master and attacks her personally is my enemy. I will sever ties with relatives, cut off friendships, and will retaliate against strangers tenfold or a hundredfold."
This guy has changed. He seems to be declaring war on the whole world for a woman. Is this little fairy Vivi so good that he can do anything for her?
"Clap, clap, clap" applause suddenly broke out in the quiet hall.
