Chapter 195: Engagement Banquet with Frequent Accidents (2)
Nan Xuanwei lived not far from the engagement party venue. Nan Xuanwei sat in Xiao Shiyu's car, becoming more and more nervous. The moment the car stopped, she grabbed Xiao Shiyu's arm and blinked her long eyelashes. Xiao Shiyu could feel that she was trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll take you to the lounge first. I'll ask Qingyan and Youran to accompany you. I'll deal with those people. If you have to show up, just show up."
After sending Nan Xuanwei upstairs through the side door, Xiao Shiyu called his sister. He also wanted to stay with his sweetheart all the time. There were so many guests waiting outside, including a distinguished guest like Master Shangyang, so he had to go out to socialize.
"She's a little nervous, you have to let her relax." Xiao Shiyu whispered to his sister before leaving.
"Promise to complete the task, brother, I'm being nice, remember to give me a big red envelope!"
"If today's engagement ceremony goes smoothly, I will consider letting Fatty Meng into our family."
"Brother, you are so stingy."
"Let me accept him or ten million, it's your choice!"
If this person wasn't his own brother, he would have definitely ruined his engagement ceremony.
The hall was crowded with guests. The Xiao family was the richest family in the capital and had extensive connections. Looking around, people of all skin colors and speaking all kinds of languages could be seen everywhere. Expensive flowers could be seen everywhere. The platform in the center was decorated like a castle, with flowing gauze and crystal-shaped stars and moons hanging in the air.
The Lu and Duan families are both prominent families, and they have many relatives.
Master Shangyang, Zhao Jingzhou, and Lin Mufei were invited to the VIP room on the second floor, accompanied by Old Man Xiao himself.
Some guests whispered that Nan Xuanwei was lucky. They didn't expect that the Xiao family would actually accept a Taoist nun as their daughter-in-law.
Chen Luoyan, Ling Ruoxuan and a group of rich daughters were even more upset. Why should a swindler and deceitful little charlatan marry into the Xiao family?
"Today is just an engagement. As far as I know, Weiwei is only 20 years old this year. I'm afraid she won't get married within one or two years. Let's just wait and see. It's not easy to enter the Xiao family." Chen Luoyan said hatefully.
"Whether she can enter the Xiao family depends on Xiao Shiyu. I have worked at Shengyu Group for a period of time and I know Mr. Xiao. I also know that his position in the Xiao family has long surpassed that of the former president. No one can force him to do something he doesn't want to do. As long as you have the ability to subdue Mr. Xiao, there will be no problem on the Xiao family's side."
If it weren't for the incident of bullying her classmates, if she had apologized and admitted her mistake online immediately, and found a way to make Xiao Shiyu believe that she was young and ignorant or had no choice, and if she had persisted a little longer, maybe she would be the one engaged to Xiao Shiyu today.
At that time, she was wrong, thinking that the Xiao family would never want a daughter-in-law with a bad reputation. It was not until she learned that Xiao Shiyu and Nan Xuanwei were engaged that she realized what she had missed. As long as Xiao Shiyu liked someone, the Xiao family would accept them no matter what they were like.
If you can marry a man like this, no one in your husband's family will dare to look down on the new daughter-in-law. It's almost the same as walking sideways. This is the dream of many girls. Unexpectedly, Nan Xuanwei realized it for them.
"So many people came today. Can she, who grew up in a Taoist temple, handle it? Didn't you see that Xiao Shiyu came out to entertain the guests himself without bringing her along? I guess he knows that she is not up to par." Zhao Wanxin said sarcastically.
"I just saw a man who looked like an old Taoist priest, but he disappeared when I turned around. Could he have been kicked out by the Xiao family?" someone gloated.
"At such a time when so many wealthy families, politicians and businessmen are gathering together, the sudden appearance of a Taoist priest is indeed not harmonious. I guess he was asked to leave by the Xiao family or the hotel security!"
The daughters of wealthy families became more and more excited as they spoke. Just when they were saying that Nan Xuanwei would be so frightened when she saw such a big scene, the MC at the entrance of the hall sang along: "Young Commander Wang brought ten boxes of jade as gifts to congratulate Fairy Weiwei and President Xiao on their engagement. I wish you two a long and happy marriage!"
Someone from the Wang family actually came! They never attended private banquets, but they made an exception for the Xiao family.
The gift of ten boxes of jade is too generous. The jade given by the Wang family is definitely not ordinary jade. The value of ten boxes is difficult to estimate.
Xiao Shiyu personally went to the door to greet him. Wang Shaoqian bowed and called out, "Greetings, Master!"
"Shao Qian, thank you for taking the time to come and attend our engagement ceremony."
"You're too kind!"
What's going on with these two? When did they become so close?
Xiao Shijian's eyes fell on the ten boxes. Each box was at least the size of a normal suitcase. If such a large box was filled with jade, the value would be astronomical!
"I wonder if we have the honor to see the gift from the young commander."
If it were any other time, Wang Shaoqian would definitely ignore him. Today, he not only wanted to broaden Xiao Shijian's horizons, but also wanted to let the guests present know that Nan Xuanwei was absolutely worthy of Xiao Shiyu.
All ten boxes were opened, causing a burst of exclamations. The jades in the boxes were not only rich in water but also large in size. The smallest one was as big as a child's head. These jades had been preliminarily processed and were smooth and lustrous. You could tell at a glance that they were good jades.
Everyone present was silently estimating the value of the jade, guessing the relationship between the Xiao family and the Wang family, and thinking about how to get to know the young master of the Wang family.
“This gift is too precious!”
"This is just an engagement gift for Fairy Weiwei. There will be more gifts for you when you two get married. I want to congratulate the fairy in person. Do you know where she is convenient for us to meet?"
"She's in the lounge. Dong Kai will take the Junior Commander over there. Stay for a drink later!"
"Okay, I'll go upstairs first!"
Xiao Shiyu instructed Dong Kai that after Wang Shaoqian met Nan Xuanwei, he should send the guest to his grandfather.
The hall was in an uproar. Xiao Shiyu was the first to invite the Wang family to a banquet. Seeing those gifts, one could tell that the two families had a close relationship. If the Xiao family teamed up with the Wang family, it would be even more powerful, and no one could shake their status.
"Brother, I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with Young Commander Wang. Can you introduce me to him someday? My friend has a very good shipyard. If you can bring the Wang family in to cooperate, I will let my friend give you shares and dividends. How about that?" Xiao Shijian asked.
"I don't have such a big face. Shipbuilding involves military industry. The Wang family will not easily cooperate with outsiders, and I will not touch other people's bottom line."
"Why don't you give it a try for Brother Xiao's sake?"
"It is precisely because of the Xiao family that I have to be more cautious. I have to consider the entire family and Shengyu. I can't do whatever I want like my cousin."
His lungs were punctured, so Xiao Shijian could only hold back his anger.
"Mr. Meng Changyuan has arrived, and he brought a villa in the middle of the mountain and a set of Acacia ruby jewelry as a gift!"
Oh my god, I miss you so much. Is it the set of jewellery that witnessed the most loving love between the emperor and empress in history? It is said that the phoenix crown alone is worth hundreds of millions!
