Si Yichen was looking at Gu Tong. The moment Gu Tong nodded, he immediately took out the ring from the box and placed it on her finger, as if he was wrapping it around her heart.
After taking the ring, Si Yichen didn't need Gu Tong's reminder. He immediately stood up and hugged Gu Tong tightly in his chest with a contented look on his face.
At this moment, Gu Tong put aside her daughter's bashfulness and snuggled up to her with a blissful expression. She tightly embraced Si Yichen.
"Pa Pa …" "Clap clap …"
Watching the two tightly hugging each other, the crowd below the stage all simultaneously applauded, expressing their blessings.
Although some people had seen her father's action just now and thought it was strange, they did not know the specifics of the matter. They just thought that her father and Yang Pingzhu had an argument, and today's proposal was carefully planned by the family.
And this applause not only reached the ears of Si Yichen and Gu Tong, but also entered the hearts of his father. He felt as if he were about to vomit blood from the anger.
He did not expect that the final outcome would be the one he did not want to see the most.
Si Yichen, what are you trying to do?
The Priest roared hysterically in his heart, quietly waiting for Si Yicheng to step down.
Right now, the engagement had already temporarily become a foregone conclusion. He knew that even if he rushed forward, he wouldn't be able to change anything, and would only invite ridicule from others. The only thing he could do now was to wait for Si Yicheng to arrive and have a good talk with him. It would be best if he could successfully persuade him to automatically change the earlier announcements.
Even though he had personally witnessed the marriage proposal ceremony, his father hadn't broken their hearts. Si Yi Chen had still underestimated his father's determination.
"I thank you all for your witness and your blessings. From now on, Gu Tong will be my fiancee and a member of the Si Family. Anyone who dares to bully her will be openly opposing our Si Family. Our Si Family will not let them off lightly."
Si Yichen embraced Gu Tong, his eyes calmly gazing at those people with different thoughts in their minds. He proudly announced Gu Tong's newest identity, while at the same time taking the opportunity to warn those villains that harbored ill intentions.
The reason why he held this banquet so big today and invited all the people he didn't like was because he wanted everyone to be afraid of Gu Tong and not dare to bully her.
He didn't want Gu Tong to suffer any more harm.
At the same time, he knew that Gu Tong wasn't used to being the center of attention, so after he finished speaking, he gave a few simple words to the crowd. He held Gu Tong's hand and carefully walked down the stage.
"Come here."
As soon as the two of them left the stage, their father ordered Si Yicheng with an unfriendly expression.
Without the slightest surprise, Si Yicheng listened and then very naturally walked over with Gu Tong in his arms.
"She's staying with me. I don't want to see her."
He pointed at Gu Tong with a look of disdain and contempt.
Si Yichen's complexion immediately turned ugly, "She is my fiancée. No matter what happens, the two of us should be together."
"Shut up!" His father sternly scolded him and then he glared at Si Yicheng, saying in a low voice, "If you don't want her to make a fool of herself in front of everyone, you'd better behave yourself."
"Don't think that what you just said would change my attitude towards her. Also, don't think that I will show mercy to her in front of so many people."
"Your preemptive performance just now made me too angry. I can't guarantee that I would say something unpleasant to her in a moment of excitement."
Seeing that Si Yicheng didn't really believe him, he suppressed his anger and simply expressed his thoughts.
At this moment, after hearing his words, Si Yicheng's expression finally changed.
He frowned for a moment and finally said reluctantly to Gu Tong, "You go over there and drink something. I'll go there later."
Gu Tong had heard what her father had to say and knew that the father and son had words to say. She didn't want to be present, so she didn't have any objections to what Si Yicheng was saying. She immediately nodded and quickly left.
"You stinking brat, you're thinking that I've lived too long and want to piss me off earlier, aren't you?"
As soon as Gu Tong left, the priest was panting heavily as he questioned Si Yicheng, his face full of anger.
As if nothing had happened, Si Yicheng casually explained, "I didn't. I specifically asked you to come here to bear witness to my happiness."
"Happiness?" The father snorted coldly, then said with disdain, "With that Gu family's condition, she wouldn't drag you down, how could she let you be happy?"
"My happiness has nothing to do with Gu Tong alone, his family's condition, or anyone else.
"Does that mean it has nothing to do with me? Even if I don't agree to a hundred times, or even ten thousand times, as long as she's with you, you'll be satisfied, and you'll feel happy? "
The Priest angrily asked, unable to accept the fact that Gu Tong had already reached such an important level in her heart.
Due to being too excited, he didn't control his voice well enough to let some people hear it. Immediately, some people looked over to the father and son duo curiously.
"Come with me to the study."
The father ordered in a low voice. He didn't want to embarrass himself here.
However, Si Yichen hesitated as he looked in Gu Tong's direction.
"Why don't you come with me, or I'll chase her away, you choose."
The priest impatiently threw down those words, then ignored Si Yicheng and took the lead to walk towards the study room.
Si Yicheng weighed the situation for a moment. He felt that his father's current state really did seem like he would do something like that. Thus, he could only helplessly follow him.
As soon as Gu Tong disappeared from Si Yichen's line of sight, she encountered a problem.
"Little Tong …"
It was a faked voice as he affectionately called out to Gu Tong.
Gu Tong's scalp tingled with numbness.
"What is it? Now that you've gotten yourself a high status in the Si Family, you're not even paying attention to your little aunt anymore? "
Although Gu Tong ignored Ji Su Lan's shouts, Ji Su Lan didn't leave tactfully. Instead, he shamelessly walked in front of Gu Tong and continued to chat with her.
Looking at her fake face, Gu Tong felt annoyed. She couldn't help but respond, "Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Si Yicheng and I truly love each other, and there is no such thing as climbing high. If he heard your words, he would think you were ridiculing him because he was blind and had misjudged you. "
When Ji Su Lan, who had some malicious intent between his brows just now, heard Gu Tong's cryptic threat, he instantly became flustered.
