His tone was calm, but there was no joy in it, but a sense of coldness.
Xie Junzhi was stunned for a moment. Although Huo Hanting was a little cold in his impression, he was not so unkind. But thinking of what happened to the Huo family not long ago, he felt relieved again, and didn't get too entangled.
Zhou Zheyan on the side frowned faintly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
A few people didn't know what to say, and a burst of hearty laughter came from not far away.
"Hahahaha what gift will make me unforgettable forever? Old man, I want to open my eyes today!"
Xie Junzhi smiled and turned around: "Grandpa."
Mr. Xie walked over from not far away in a dark red Tang suit. He was leaning on a cane, and his body was fairly sturdy. He obviously didn't hear the tone and atmosphere of the conversation, otherwise he would never have said that.
The old man looked more radiant than before, and even his cheeks were slightly rosy. Obviously because his granddaughter was engaged, he drank two glasses first when he was happy.
"Huo Shaoyuan, I didn't expect that we would have a day to be in-laws!"
Xie Lingqing smiled and shook hands with Mr. Huo, but the latter didn't seem to be able to smile much. Although he seemed tight on the surface, he actually didn't care much.
In the past, Xie Lingqing would definitely have noticed it, but today too many guests disturbed his thoughts, and he had no time to take care of it for a while.
"Let's go, first go inside and say hello to those old guys!"
A group of people went inside in a mighty manner, and someone nearby saw it, with different expressions.
This marriage between the Xie family and the Huo family is really a strong alliance. Now they are glad that Miss Xie's marriage is not with Huo Hanting, otherwise the imperial capital will be in turmoil in the future.
After entering the venue, the crowd dispersed. Huo Hanting stood aside for a while, and Qiu Lijin walked to him: "Han Ting, what do you want to do?"
He has long seen that something is wrong with him, whether it is taking the Huo family's risk, or coming to the engagement scene today, there is an unusual meaning.
Huo Hanting held a glass of wine, but didn't move. He looked at the door indifferently, and after a while his eyes froze: "He's here."
Qiu Lijin followed his gaze and looked over, her eyes frightened.
It's Wei Gaojie.
Regardless of the relationship between the Xie family and the Wei family, superficial work is still required.
He is rarely dressed formally today. He is wearing a black suit and is greeting others with a smile. Behind him is the sullen Wei Yun and his equally silent wife.
In my impression, Mrs. Wei is a kind and gentle woman, and something seems a little bit wrong today.
After looking at it for a while, Qiu Lijin felt bored and turned away, turning her gaze back to Huo Hanting: "Steady yourself"
Wei Gaojie in the distance seemed to be aware of his gaze, and raised his head to look here. After meeting Huo Hanting's gaze, his smile faltered, and his muscles felt a little tense.
But then he gradually relaxed, smiled back and looked away.
Qiu Lijin smiled at the other people who came to say hello and frowned at Huo Hanting, and said in a low voice, "This is the Xie family's banquet, you have to calm down."
Huo Hanting shook the wine glass in his hand, and after a while he smiled softly: "I'm already calm enough."
The banquet continued, and when the guests were about to arrive, Mr. Xie led Yan Mengni and Zhou Zheyan to introduce them to the crowd, and said to the latter with majesty that he handed over his only granddaughter to him.
This is not only beating Zhou Zheyan, but also reminding everyone below that no matter who Yan Mengni marries, she will always be the granddaughter of his Xie family, and outsiders cannot bully her.
Especially when reminding the Huo family, it seems that Mr. Xie also knows Zhou Zheyan's status in the Huo family.
The latter made a solemn promise, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was in a hurry to get engaged to Yan Mengni because of this promise.
All the people below applauded with dignity.
"She is not the granddaughter of the Xie family! She is a counterfeit!"
A sharp cry came from the crowd, making the whole hall silent for a moment, and then row after row of eyes looked over, with surprise and uncertainty.
After Wei Gaojie noticed the gaze on his body, he scolded in a low voice with a livid face: "Wei Yun, what are you talking about!"
The body of Wei Yun next to her was trembling slightly. She stared blankly at the pair of Bi people on the stage, and then her expression became firm.
How could she watch her Zhe Yan being deceived by this bitch!
Yes, he was deceived by her??, will abandon her!
Wei Yun stood up with an excited expression: "You can't marry her! Zheyan!"
Engagement ceremony, new love meets old love?
The person who originally wanted to come out to stop him lost his mind when he saw who this old love was.
Few people can afford to offend Minister Wei's family's daughter.
The face of Mr. Xie on the stage has turned from gloomy to livid. He looked at Wei Yun in the audience and said without anger: "Miss Wei, please be careful with your words!"
Wei Gaojie got up immediately and apologized: "Uncle Xie, I'm sorry, I spoiled this girl. I had a fever last night. I'm still a little unclear today. I'll take her away first."
After speaking, he forcibly took Wei Yun away with a livid face, his face was full of anger.
This was exact anger, those who didn't know thought he was angry because of his daughter's nonsense. His mind was on his daughter, and Wei Gaojie didn't have the time to pay attention to the strangeness of his wife beside him.
Suddenly, another family walked in through the door of the banquet hall. They were led by Xie's servant, and they received gazes from all directions as soon as they stepped into the door.
On the stage, Mr. Xie hadn't taken a breath yet, and when he saw this, he frowned deeply: "Who is this?"
Anyway, he knew all the people invited today, but he didn't have the slightest impression of the person who walked in at the door.
Xie Junzhi was a little surprised. He knew the family who walked in the door. They were the Gu family from Hangzhou, Gu Honghui, Teng Chunlan and Gu Zhixin.
Although the Gu family is a bit of a bourgeoisie, they will not be able to reach the threshold of the family in another 800 years. Who invited them here?
A servant came to Xie Rujin and whispered something in Xie Rujin's ear, Xie Junzhi looked over and listened.
"This family has an invitation card in their hands. It is a real invitation card. It may be someone invited by the man's side."
The man?
Xie Junzhi's gaze fell on the immobile Huo family on the left. The Huo family also looked at the rear with a look of astonishment, only one person looked indifferent, watching the farce with cold eyes.
Seeing Teng Chunlan coming in from the door suddenly, even Wei Gaojie was stunned for a moment, and Mrs. Wei, who was always paying attention to her husband, suddenly tensed up.
She received relevant information last night, saying that her husband had cheated and had a daughter with that woman, and she planned to divorce her and remarry after this promotion.
She also has the photo of that woman and the child, and she had recognized this woman when she saw the woman walking in the door, and her husband's reaction made her feel even more chilled.
Taking advantage of her father's slack moment, Wei Yun broke free from his shackles, turned around and ran back, and took out a piece of paper from her handbag while crying:
"I have proof! Yan Mengni went to Spain for plastic surgery two years ago, so she is not Xie Rubi's daughter!" (Remember this website: www.hlnovel.com
