Chapter 847: Engagement Ceremony (3)
“I hope that I won’t encounter a family like the Meng family this time. I hope that the hards.h.i.+ps Tiantian encountered in the past won’t exist in the future.”
***
At the hotel.
Everything had been arranged here.
The guests began to arrive.
Luo Jingxuan was wearing a dark suit today, making him look exceptionally handsome and more composed than usual.
Lan Tian stood beside him, dressed in a dress that exposed her arms and legs. She was fair and flawless.
They looked at each other. There was a smile on Luo Jingxuan’s face, showing two rows of white teeth.
Lan Tian pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly.
He reached out and clenched Lan Tian’s hand to hide his nervousness.
s.h.i.+ Jin walked over and Lan Tian glanced over. “Where’s Boss?”
“He’s a little busy. He should be able to make it in time for the ceremony later.”
Lan Tian immediately understood. “Yes, it’s like this. When Boss encounters other people’s matters, he’ll be very busy and can’t push away his work. Only when he encounters Sis’s matters, regardless of whether it’s a big matter or a small situation, can those matters of his become unimportant. Everything can be pushed back.”
“Why are you still so sharp-tongued and getting jealous when you’re about to become a bride?” s.h.i.+ Jin knocked her forehead lightly.
“I’m not being jealous. I’m telling the truth.” Lan Tian shrunk her neck.
“Congratulations, Lan Tian,” came Meng Yizhou’s voice.
He and Ding Ruhui had come hand in hand.
Lan Tian looked at them. “I don’t think I remember inviting you?”
“Lan Tian, we’re friends after all. How can we not come and visit when we know you’re engaged?” Meng Yizhou said. “This is an engagement gift for you two. Congratulations.”
“Yes, quickly accept it. Yizhou and I specially bought it for you,” Ding Ruhui said.
“Thank you.” Lan Tian accepted it and handed it to a staff member to put away.
Meng Yizhou sized up the layout of the scene. Everything was still in place and stylish. It was not as shabby as he had imagined.
Then again, with the Lan family backing them, this engagement couldn’t be shabby.
He glanced at Luo Jingxuan. This poor kid was really lucky. He was actually engaged to Lan Tian and had entered the family so quickly.
The Lan family’s huge family business would probably end up in his hands in the future.
And all of this had originally belonged to Meng Yizhou.
Ding Ruhui saw that he was lost in thought for a moment and said, “Yizhou, let’s go in first.”
“Let’s go.” Meng Yizhou also wanted to see what was going on inside.
Although he was jealous that Luo Jingxuan could get what he couldn’t, he also wanted to prove that Lan Tian did not have any other good choices besides him.
He and Ding Ruhui walked in and saw that the scene was basically filled with the Lan family’s relatives and friends. He was even more certain that this Luo Jingxuan really didn’t have anything he wanted. They were probably all poor relatives and were too embarra.s.sed to be invited over to embarra.s.s themselves.
What did Luo Jingxuan have to be able to be with Lan Tian!
Lan Tian watched them walk in and said, “Seriously, we didn’t even invite them. How dare they come over?”
“It’s okay. There are enough spare tables anyway. Two more people won’t be much.” Luo Jingxuan generously comforted Lan Tian and turned to s.h.i.+ Jin. “Miss s.h.i.+, please go in first.”
“Then I’ll go in first,” s.h.i.+ Jin said, heading inside. She could see that Meng Yizhou and Ding Ruhui were only here to see the show.
When she went in, Meng Yizhou and Ding Ruhui were greeting everyone.
Because of Meng Yizhou’s appearance, some of the relatives and friends were indeed discussing in low voices. “Lan Tian is really unlucky. Her condition has just recovered. Why would she get engaged to such a poor boy?”
“Actually, the Meng family is really quite good. They’ve known each other for years. Although their family background can’t be compared to the Lan family, it’s not bad either. I haven’t seen any family or friends of this Luo Jingxuan until now. I wonder what kind of remote village he comes from. Even now, he still can’t show off.”
“In my opinion, after Lan Tian recovers from her illness, she should really reconcile with Yizhou.”
“It’s not that easy. You guys make it sound so easy. Back then, it was Yizhou who took the initiative to reject this engagement and reject Lan Tian.”
There were all kinds of comments.
s.h.i.+ Jin was no longer in the mood to listen. She only felt that Meng Yizhou was an eyesore.
A waiter came over and whispered, “Miss s.h.i.+, Madam Lan invites you over.”
s.h.i.+ Jin followed the waiter to the hotel room.
