Chapter 1165 Where’s Your Luck?
"I don"t like her anyway," Huo Tian pouted.
After the small talk, the ceremony began.
Zhong Li said a few simple words, then smiled and waved for Huo Ningxi and Zhongli Xue to come over. They stood on the stage. The three of them had unparalleled good looks. Under the carefully arranged stage lights, they looked particularly pleasing to the eye.
Huo Ningxi and Zhongli Xue looked at each other. Under the blessings of many guests, they exchanged engagement rings.
From then on, if nothing went wrong, they would join hands and eventually walk down the aisle of marriage.
The engagement ceremony this time was very grand. Unlike Huo Yunque, Song Yaoyao, and An Feiran, who kept a low profile, the media were invited to enter the venue and broadcast some clips.
The engagement ceremony was beautifully decorated. The people who appeared at the banquet were all celebrities and aristocrats that ordinary people would spend their entire lives chasing but rarely meeting. The big stars who were highly sought after by their fans could only serve as a foil here.
Huo Ningxi and Zhongli Xue"s engagement was equivalent to a marriage between two families in the eyes of most people.
However, the marriage target this time satisfied the fantasies of the audience. They were like the handsome and beautiful couples from novels.
"Huhu, why do other people reincarnate so well?"
"I"m so jealous!"
"It"s just an engagement. Is there a need to be so extravagant? With this kind of money, it would be better to do charity."
"Red-eyed monster, get lost! They can spend their money however they like. How do you know they don"t do charity?"
"I"m suddenly reminded of Director Song who keeps a low profile. She"s so rich, but she"s not as high-profile as these two, and her charity work is doing well. She has built so many schools and helped so many children and poor families. Please report more positive news in the future. We"re not interested in this kind of news. Thank you."
"Tsk, don"t start a war. Keep Director Song out of it! Yaoyao can do whatever she wants, and she deserves the best! I hope to see Yaoyao and Mr. Huo hold a wedding one day! Mr. Huo must prepare a grand wedding for Yaoyao! @MrHuo"
All the attention that night was attracted by this luxurious engagement party, causing the few celebrities on the trending searches to feel extremely bitter as no one paid attention to them at all.
Onlookers watched the show as people in the industry targeted this engagement, and began to guess whether the Huos and Zhonglis had really made a marriage alliance.
After that, they realized that they were overthinking things.
Ever since Huo Ningxi left the Huo Family, other than his surname, he no longer had anything to do with them or their business. Instead, he had been interacting a lot with the Zhonglis. In just two months, he had signed several big contracts.
Some people were envious, but there was nothing they could do. Who asked Zhongli Xue to take a liking to Huo Ningxi instead of them?
However, Huo Ningxi"s following actions left them dumbfounded.
With Zhong Li as a backer, he brazenly started to compete with Huo Corporation for business. He failed a few times, but he was able to succeed occasionally with Zhong Li"s help.
Feng City"s territory was neither big nor small. However, this small circle had been stirred up more and more ever since Zhong Li returned to the country.
One was an old aristocratic family, and the other was a new upstart in the business world. As the saying goes, when immortals fight, the little ones suffer. During this period of time, the heads of the major companies worked overtime every day. They couldn"t be any more cautious; they were afraid that they would offend either side and be in big trouble.
...
"Is Huo Ningxi crazy? Pair J"s!" Shen Xun said casually as he crossed his legs and threw out a pair of Jacks.
"He"s obviously going to fight with Mr. Huo." An Feiran looked at the cards in his hand, took out a pair of kings, and played them.
Tang Xinrou threw a pair of aces, and then the three of them looked at Song Yaoyao together.
Song Yaoyao shook her head. "Pa.s.s."
"Wow! Then I"m going to win!" Tang Xinrou rubbed her hands excitedly, but she still didn"t dare to be too presumptuous. After all, every time they played cards, Song Yaoyao"s luck was so good that it defied the heavens. All the good cards ended up in her hands and it was no fun playing with her.
But today, for some reason, Song Yaoyao kept losing. Her good luck in the past seemed to have disappeared.
"Three Queens!"
Tang Xinrou threw down three cards and looked nervously at Song Yaoyao. She was still afraid that she would suddenly throw a bomb and then announce the end of the game.
Fortunately, Song Yaoyao still shook her head.
Tang Xinrou heaved a sigh of relief as An Feiran looked at her with a doting smile in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "Nope."
Shen Xun raised his eyebrows. "I can"t beat it."
"Haha! Then I win!"
Tang Xinrou threw out the two cards in her hands and stood up proudly with her hands on her hips.
"My luck is changing. Isn"t my luck too good today? Hurry up! Give me the money, give me the money, give me the money!"
Not long ago, on May 1st, the school had given three days off. The few of them had not been together for a long time, so they decided to have dinner together.
Playing cards was just a pastime after dinner.
"Hurry up, hurry up, don"t dawdle!"
Tang Xinrou s.n.a.t.c.hed the money from Shen Xun"s hand domineeringly and counted it. Then, she asked An Feiran for more money.
An Feiran smiled and directly stuffed all the money in front of him into her hands.
They were playing just for fun. Even if he gave her his entire wager, it wasn"t much.
But Tang Xinrou still felt a sense of accomplishment. She happily counted the money and curiously went over to grab the cards in front of Song Yaoyao. She asked in disbelief, "Precious, you didn"t let me win on purpose today, right? Let me see your..."
Before the word "cards" could leave her mouth, Tang Xinrou blurted, "F*ck, What kind of rotten luck is this?"
They were all single cards! And they couldn"t be connected in any way, how was she supposed to play?
Song Yaoyao slowly took a sip from her cup, her lips were moist, and the corners of her lips curled up.
"Yeah, my luck is a little bad."
"It"s not just bad!"
Tang Xinrou shook her head, "This is too much, this isn"t like you! You"re our little koi fish, and your luck is top-notch. Could it be that you haven"t wors.h.i.+pped the G.o.d of wealth recently?" She pulled Song Yaoyao"s little hand over to examine it.
Song Yaoyao"s frame was small, and her hands were small as well. Her fingers were as thin as jade, and her flesh and bones were well-proportioned. Under the light, her skin glistened as if it would glow. Her perfectly-manicured nails were light pink, and each of her little white crescent moon tips was extremely cute.
"There"s no problem..." Tang Xinrou looked over and over again.?r???eb??vel.c??
Previously, she had been addicted to blind boxes for a period of time and had bought a bunch of them. But she failed to find the hidden one she wanted. Later on, she jokingly touched Song Yaoyao"s hand and said that she wanted to borrow some luck. To her surprise, when she casually opened one from the supermarket shelves, she actually managed to find it!
When she thought about the heaven-defying luck that had happened to her ever since she met Song Yaoyao, Tang Xinrou even suspected that she was the reincarnation of a koi.
That was why she found it unbelievable today.
Song Yaoyao had bad luck too? How was that possible! She was the favored child of the heavens!
Song Yaoyao pursed her lips and smiled, allowing her to size her up. She asked, "Have you seen the flowers?"
