Chapter 279: Why Was She Here?
She did not understand why her brother had agreed to attend the engagement party tonight. Did he not care about Zuo Weiyi anymore?
As soon as he put the ring on her finger, Tengtang Xi would officially become his fiancée. What should Zuo Weiyi do then?
As she thought about this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could not continue watching this. Therefore, she turned around as she prepared to leave the banquet immediately.
However, as soon as she turned around, she saw a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
She thought that she had made a mistake but she took a clearer look and found that it was indeed Zuo Weiyi who was standing amongst the crowd of people!
Zuo Weiyi… why was she here?
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan also felt very hurt when she saw the painful expression on Zuo Weiyi’s face.
How did she get here? Why did she come here?
Was she really going to watch her brother get engaged to Tengtang Xi?
As she thought about this, s.h.i.+ Nuannuan could feel the pain that Zuo Weiyi was feeling at this time. She must be really hurting inside.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan quickly squeezed through the crowd of people as she rushed over to Zuo Weiyi but in the next second, Zuo Weiyi turned around as she walked in the direction of the door!
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was extremely anxious. When she finally squeezed through the crowd of people, Zuo Weiyi had already disappeared from her sight.
Even though s.h.i.+ Nuannuan looked around to search for Zuo Weiyi, she could not find her at all.
Everyone in the hall was still waiting for the couple to put on the engagement rings on one another.
What was even more unexpected was the fact that even after three minutes had already pa.s.sed, that did not happen.
s.h.i.+ Yuting was just standing quietly on the stage as he played with the ring box in his hand.
s.h.i.+ Le seemed to notice that something was amiss, and he could not help but yell out, “Yuting!”
As soon as s.h.i.+ Yuting heard s.h.i.+ Le’s voice, he raised his head as he looked at the crowd of people with a cold expression on his face. After that, he held up the ring box in his hand as he took his hand out from his trousers’ pocket before he opened the ring box slowly.
Tengtang Xi was full of expectations as she watched s.h.i.+ Yuting’s movements.
She would become s.h.i.+ Yuting’s fiancée very soon, and the position of the First Lady would definitely belong to her then!
Everyone in the banquet hall held their breath as they waited for the magical moment to arrive.
However, after s.h.i.+ Yuting took out the valuable diamond ring from the box, he did not put it on Tengtang Xi’s finger. Instead, he turned around as he faced the audience and the media.
After that, s.h.i.+ Yuting smiled before he said, “I will never marry Tengtang Xi.”
s.h.i.+ Yuting’s sentence surprised everyone in the hall.
Immediately afterwards, s.h.i.+ Yuting threw the diamond ring onto the ground.
s.h.i.+ Le, who was standing nearby, did not expect s.h.i.+ Yuting to openly reject this marriage in front of so many people. His face turned pale, and he could not stop himself from screaming out loud, “What do you think you are doing, s.h.i.+ Yuting?”
s.h.i.+ Yuting turned around to face his grandfather calmly as he said, “Putting an end to this boring banquet.”
“You, you…”
s.h.i.+ Le was so angry that he was at a loss for words.
Tengtang Xi and Tengtang Li had not expected this at all.
How could s.h.i.+ Yuting reject this marriage in front of so many media? Would the Tengtang family not look like a fool because of him?
“s.h.i.+ Yuting, you… how could you do this to me?”
Tengtang Xi yelled at the man standing in front of her as she clenched her fists tightly. Her body was shaking uncontrollably because she was furious.
He had blatantly humiliated the great and n.o.ble family in front of the public!
Tengtang Li’s face was extremely sullen because he would never have expected that this so-called engagement banquet was just a plan to humiliate the Tengtang family!
