The Zhou family is one of the most powerful families in the city. Although the Yan family is far from the Zhou family, they are still much stronger than commoners like me.
Their engagement ceremony was held at the most luxurious hotel in the city. Zhou Jin told me in a text message that Yan Siqi had originally planned to go abroad to hold her engagement banquet, but Zhou Jin thought that it would be too troublesome and had spent a long time preparing it, so he gave up.
Once we entered, waiter, who was dressed well, led us in. We followed him into the wedding hall.
The banquet hall was decorated in a very luxurious and beautiful manner. It seemed that a professional designer had been invited to design it.
There weren't many people in the banquet hall, and they were all talking quietly. They were all wearing famous brands, and their smiles were reserved and noble, and I couldn't help but think of what had happened before. In another banquet hall, my skirt had been torn off, and the splendid crystal chandelier above my head made my eyes hurt.
"Xia Ying, are you alright?" Cheng Haiyue noticed my abnormality.
I shook my head, indicating that I was fine.
I tilted my head to look at Cheng Haiyue, and realised that Cheng Haiyue was more abnormal than me.
I followed her gaze and saw Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was wearing the same dark coloured suit and expensive diamond cufflinks as before. His face was still very pale, and his entire body seemed to have become even thinner than the last time he saw him.
"Xia Ying, come with me to greet him." Cheng Haiyue pulled my hand and wanted to go over to Zhou Ze's side.
I glanced at Zhou Ze and said to Cheng Haiyue, "Spare me, how did you manage to disperse the last time we met? If Zhou Ze sees me, he'll definitely turn around and leave, I'll definitely obstruct you."
"Come with me." Cheng Haiyue blinked at me. She looked really cute, and I was forcefully pulled over to Zhou Ze's side.
Zhou Ze was standing alone at the side, and the person who spoke to him had just left.
"Zhou Ze, long time no see." Cheng Haiyue pulled me and said to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was stunned when he saw this, and then his gaze landed on Cheng Haiyue's face.
I'm surprised I came here with an invitation. I thought.
"Yes." Zhou Ze nodded at Cheng Haiyue.
"Are you free today?" Cheng Haiyue said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
Zhou Ze glanced at Cheng Haiyue and said, "No." His tone was reserved and aloof, making people uncomfortable.
So Cheng Haiyue, what exactly do you like about this man?
Cheng Haiyue pulled my hand and took another step forward, but right at that moment, two people suddenly spoke to Zhou Ze.
Cheng Haiyue pulled me as she stood there, suddenly feeling a little helpless.
However, the engagement ceremony soon began.
Cheng Haiyue and I stood at the side of the banquet hall and looked up the stairs. After a while, Zhou Jin and Yan Siqi would slowly walk down from above.
Gradually, the whole hall quieted down. The sound of the violin and piano rang out in the room. Everything seemed so elegant and natural.
I let go of Cheng Haiyue's hand. I wasn't willing to let Cheng Haiyue find out that I had lost control of my body, so I gripped my hands tightly. My face was deathly pale, and I knew that everything that had happened today was just for show.
At this moment, the door on the staircase was slowly pulled open, flowers sprinkled all over the floor, and a sweet sound filled the air. Everything seemed as if it was a dream.
I saw Zhou Jin and Yan Siqi walk out from the shadows. They stood on the stage and looked down at us from above.
The first person I saw was Yan Siqi. She wore a gorgeous, well-defined formal attire, the accessories and shoes were very compatible with her clothes, unlike the luxurious display shelves from before. She probably invited someone else to design it for her, and with a smile on her face, she looked extremely pleased, as though she was announcing to me that she was the victor.
I stared at Zhou Jin. He was wearing a custom-made suit, and he looked even more tall and straight. His hair must have been designed by a professional designer, so I could tell that there was something different about him.
I looked at Zhou Jin, who also looked down at me.
There was a faint smile on his lips, distant and distant, almost like his brother's, but I knew that this wasn't the real him. The real Zhou Jin was a man who would hug me tightly and cry on my shoulder.
I smiled at him, and he nodded at me. There are a lot of things we don't have to say because we both know.
Yan Siqi's face was brimming with a blissful smile. Her gaze swept across the entire hall, but I noticed that her expression changed a little when she saw someone.
I followed her gaze and saw Yan Siqi's father, Yan Zhan.
This is the second time I've seen Yan Zhan, so I normally wouldn't come into contact with him.
I saw him standing at the side. He still wasn't wearing any formal attire, and his existence was especially abrupt in this place where everyone was wearing formal clothes.
When he looked at Yan Siqi, I noticed that he was looking at her with a strange gaze.
What was he going to do? A bad idea came to me.
No. I immediately denied myself.
I raised my head and quickly scanned Yan Zhan. I wasn't mistaken about his eyes.
I couldn't help but take a step back. The malice in his eyes was too obvious.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Haiyue immediately pulled on my arm and said, "Are you alright?"
I shook my head with a pale face.
Once again, I fixed my gaze on Zhou Jin's face. At this moment, Zhou Jin and Yan Siqi were slowly walking down the stairs, Yan Siqi was holding onto Zhou Jin's arm with her glove, the two of them looked extremely harmonious.
The faint smile on Zhou Jin's face never changed. Yan Siqi's face is as beautiful as a peach, this is the first time I realized that she is so beautiful.
Cheng Haiyue gently held onto my hand, the warmth from her hand spreading throughout my body made me feel much more comfortable.
As the two of them descended the steps and stood in the hall, I noticed that both of them were flashing.
"Thank you for coming to our engagement party." Zhou Jin said with a smile. His tone was very low as he spoke.
Yan Siqi leaned on his side with a sweet expression, her face was full of happiness.
Then the music in the hall changed, and everyone was in a circle.
I saw Zhou Jin take a step back and bow slightly, then he extended his hand out to Yan Siqi, inviting her to dance.
Yan Siqi laughed, then immediately placed her hand on Zhou Jin's palm, lifting up her skirt to bow, I saw two people dancing along with the music.
I lowered my eyes, unwilling to look, but they soon finished their dance.
The two of them stopped and looked at each other. Under the light of the crystal lamp, the two of them were extremely beautiful. I saw that Yan Siqi's eyes were filled with love, her cheeks were red, one of her hands was on Zhou Jin's shoulder, the other on Zhou Jin's palm.
Zhou Jin also looked at her, and I knew that under the circumstances today, he had to appear to love her.
Yan Siqi's father was standing on the other side, staring straight at Yan Siqi, as if the Zhou Jin who was holding her hand didn't exist.
Just then, Yan Siqi suddenly tiptoed and kissed Zhou Jin's lips. Everyone laughed, and the band even played a cheerful tune.
Zhou Jin was unable to push her away like before. He wrapped his arms around Yan Siqi's waist and kissed her lightly.
I want to lock Zhou Jin in the cage so that no one can see his. I thought.
I turned my head and did not want to look anymore, so I met eyes with Yan Zhan. Yan Zhan's gaze was extremely terrifying, causing me to be shocked.
Just at that moment, a loud sound came out from the door, everyone turned to look at the door, Zhou Jin took the chance to push it open. Yan Siqi took a glance, her eyes were stern.
I smiled to myself and turned to look at the main door of the banquet hall.
I have seen this man before. He is the man Yi Chen and I met when we went shopping that day, Yi Chen. He was once my boyfriend and Yan Siqi, and from his actions, I can tell that he has not forgotten about Yan Siqi.
"Yan Siqi, how can you marry someone else!" Yi Chen shouted. He was much thinner than the last time he saw him, his face was as white as a wall. His black eyes were frighteningly heavy, but the eyes he looked at Yan Siqi with were extremely bright. After hearing his words, everyone present was stunned. However, it didn't take long for them to show an expression as if they were watching a show.
Where did Yi Chen's father go? How could he allow such a thing to happen? If Yi Chen interrupted the engagement banquet between the Zhou and Yan Clans, it was easy to imagine what would happen to them in the future.
"Didn't you say you were going to marry me?" Yi Chen yelled as he walked in. Neither of his hands had anything, but I guessed that he must have hidden a lethal weapon inside his clothes.
Following Yi Chen's words, everyone in the banquet turned to look at Yan Siqi.
Yan Siqi's face changed drastically as she tightly held onto Zhou Jin's clothes, her face had a look of wanting to cry, just a moment ago, she was blissful, but now she had changed.
"Get out! Where are the security guards? " The first to stand out was Yan Siqi's father, Yan Zhan. He walked towards Yi Chen as if he wanted to stop him, but at the same time, the other workers in the banquet hall reacted, they all ran towards Yi Chen.
But just as Yan Siqi's father was about to run to Yi Chen's side, Yi Chen suddenly sneered and said, "Don't come over here!" Immediately after, Yi Chen took out a blade from his bosom, he waved it, and his entire being entered a state of insanity. Everyone present took a step back.
