Chapter 103: The Engagement Banquet (1)
Wu Song's face changed drastically after hearing Zheng An'an's words, and he reached out and grabbed Zheng An'an's shoulder and asked, "What are you talking about, it is Zhong Qian who is engaged to the Wu family?
Zheng Anan was a little hurt when he was caught by Wu Song, and replied: "Wu Song, it should just be the same name, and Teacher Zhong is not from the Zhong family." Also, you're hurting me. ”
Wu Song let go of Zheng An'an, "I'm sorry, I'm so excited, where is the engagement banquet held, and what time does it start?"
"At ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, at the Wu family manor. ”
Wu Song nodded: "Okay, I remember, Xiao Han, Lingling, let's go back to the hotel." ”
Zheng Anan didn't know why Wu Song wanted to ask this, looking at Wu Song's anxious and angry look, she seemed to have guessed something.
After getting into the car, Han Wuming asked, "Wu Song, why are you so nervous, didn't Mr. Zheng say it, it should just be a duplicate name." If it was really Zhong Qian, it would be impossible to fall in love with a scumbag like Wu Lei. ”
"I hope so. Wu Song didn't plan to tell others the news that Zhong Qian was the Zhong family in Kyoto, and he wanted to solve this matter by himself.
After returning to the hotel, Wu Song locked himself in the room to heal his injuries, he wanted to recover as soon as possible, and when the engagement banquet was held the day after tomorrow, he might have to do it.
There will be some masters in each big family, some are cultivated by the family, and some are hired by the family. The Wu family, as the first family in Kyoto, there are definitely not a few masters in the family, and there may even be a transformation realm.
However, Wu Song can't care so much, if he is engaged to Zhong Qian and is a gentleman who is a well-connected gentleman, Wu Song will not say anything, as long as Zhong Qian is willing, he will send his blessings.
But this Wu Lei, although Wu Song has only met him once, his character can also be glimpsed.
With Zhong Qian's personality, she would definitely not fall in love with such a person. Then there is only one reason, that is, Zhong Qian was forced to do this under pressure.
Now Wu Song recalled what Zhong Qian said when he was at the gate of the Zhong family, in fact, he should be protecting him, Zhong Qian knew that Wu Song would not be the opponent of the Zhong family and the Wu family at all, so he deliberately said some ruthless words, which made Wu Song break his thoughts.
Qianqian, Qianqian, you are so stupid, there is anything you can't say to me, it's a big deal that I will take you out of Kyoto.
Wu Song suppressed his troubled thoughts, calmed down and continued to heal.
Outside the room, Han Wuming and Ye Lingling were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Ye Lingling asked with some curiosity, "Zhong Qian, is it Brother Wu Song's girlfriend?"
"It should be said that it is one of your brother Wu Song's girlfriends. ”
"How many girlfriends does Brother Wu Song have?"
"I'll have to ask him about this, but Zhong Qian should be his favorite. I really don't know what Wu Song will do if he is engaged to that Wu Lei if it is really Zhong Qian. Han Wuming glanced at Wu Song's room, a little worried.
After all, it was the Wu family among the four major families in Kyoto.
Han Wuming thought about it, and called his father Han Liefeng, asking his father to check whether Zhong Qian was from the Zhong family, and told Han Liefeng about the situation.
After hanging up the phone, Han Wuming talked to his sister Han Qianxue again, and Han Qianxue immediately drove to the hotel after hearing it.
Han Liefeng also knew that this matter was very serious, and immediately sent someone to investigate. At the same time, he also informed Pan Longfei that if Wu Song really wanted to confront the Wu family, they would not stand idly by.
Two days passed quickly, and Wu Song's injuries recovered.
Early in the morning, Wu Song got up, and after eating some breakfast, he went back to his room to clean up, meditated and breathed for a while, and then prepared to go out.
Refusing Han Wuming and Ye Lingling's request to go out with him, Wu Song walked out of the hotel alone.
As soon as he walked out of the hotel gate, Wu Song saw Han Qianxue walking towards him.
"Wu Song, what are you going to do!" Han Qianxue stopped Wu Song.
"Go to the banquet, what's the matter, do Long Yan's people even have to take care of this?"
"Wu Song, the Wu family is something you can't afford to mess with, if you still want your little life, it's best not to go to the Wu family. ”
"Did I say I'm going to cause trouble? I'm just going to a banquet and have a meal. ”
"Wu Song, I know that you are going for Zhong Qian, I advise you to think twice, even if the one who is engaged to the Wu family is really the Zhong Qian you like, don't act rashly. ”
Wu Song raised his eyes and looked at Han Qianxue and asked, "Why, are you so afraid of me going, are you jealous?"
"You!" Han Qianxue was so angry that she had nothing to say.
"I, Wu Song, do things, and it's not Long Yan's turn to take care of it. After speaking, Wu Song took a car and went straight to the Wu family manor.
Located in the southern suburbs of Kyoto, the Wu family manor covers an area of about 200 acres, and it is evident that such a large manor can be built in such a large area of land in Kyoto.
At this time, in the Wu family manor, there were already many guests who came to congratulate them. The marriage between the Zhong family and the Wu family can be said to be the biggest thing that has happened to the upper class society in Kyoto in recent years. It is already two of the four major families, and if they are united, there will be no other forces in the whole of Kyoto that can compete with each other.
The Chen family and the Li family, who are also four major families, faced such a union, and sent blessings on the surface and gave generous gifts. But privately, the core members of the two families understood that this would be a challenge to their family.
The Zhong family is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and although it is powerful, it has always kept a low profile and rarely participated in the open and secret battles between families in Kyoto. But the head of the Wu family is different, that is a very ambitious person, and this marriage is also promoted by him.
The Chen family and the Li family knew the head of the Wu family, and they all knew that after the two families really married, the Wu family would definitely expand their power with great fanfare.
Therefore, the two families also talked about this matter several times in private, discussing that the two families should also join forces, otherwise Kyoto in the future will be the world of the Zhong and Wu families.
Especially the Li family, the Wu family has long wanted to intervene in the foreign trade and ocean logistics operated by the Li family, so the Li family has the strongest sense of crisis.
In a luxuriously decorated room in the Wu family's manor, Wu Lei stood in front of the mirror in a suit, and then he took off the hat on his head that looked very incongruous, and slammed it to the ground, revealing his head wrapped in gauze.
"That bastard, you wait, wait until I get engaged and free my hands, I must make your life worse than death!"
At this time, Wu Zhenguo, the head of the Wu family, walked in, picked up his hat and put it on Wu Lei's head, and said: "Xiao Lei, you know that you are about to get engaged and don't restrain yourself, who can you blame if you are beaten like this." ”
"Dad, I ......"
"Forget it, don't talk about it, the Zhong family's convoy is coming, you go pick it up. ”
Outside the manor, Zhong Qian sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce with a blank expression, her whole mind was blank, and she felt that she was now like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
Since returning to the Zhong family in Kyoto during the summer vacation, she has been told that she is going to be engaged to the eldest young of the Wu family. Growing up in the Kyoto circle since she was a child, she naturally knows what kind of virtue that Wu Lei is, and she is naturally ten thousand unwilling.
But she was already discriminated against in the Zhong family, and the relatives who had a better relationship with her were also a person who spoke lightly and couldn't help her at all. Zhong Qian found her grandfather and said that she already had a boyfriend.
Her grandfather scolded her sharply, telling her to consider the family and not only care about the personal affairs of her children.
In desperation, Zhong Qian had to temporarily agree and sneak back to Yancheng, she didn't want her innocent body to be possessed by a scumbag like Wu Lei, so she had that passionate night with Wu Song.
Subsequently, Wu Song came to the door. Zhong Qian knew that she was engaged to the Wu family, and no one could change it. So I had to say some ruthless words to Wu Song, lest Wu Song be targeted by the Zhong family and the Wu family.
In the past few days, she has washed her face with tears every night, and she has forced her face to laugh during the day, and she even thought about suicide, but she never had the courage.
When she arrived at the gate of the Wu family's manor, Zhong Qian was reluctant to get out of the car, she didn't want to see Wu Lei, and she didn't want to see those who came to congratulate.
A middle-aged woman beside Zhong Qian sighed and said, "Qianqian, get out of the car, none of us can change what your grandfather decides, this is fate." ”
"Second aunt, I know, I'll get out of the car. ”
Wu Lei was greeting him at the door, and when he saw Zhong Qian getting out of the car, a pair of eyes swept around Zhong Qian. He had long known that Zhong Qian was just an illegitimate daughter of the Zhong family, and he was originally a little reluctant to get engaged to Zhong Qian, but when he saw Zhong Qian's peerless face in the Zhong family, he couldn't wait to take possession of Zhong Qian immediately.
Today's Zhong Qian, dressed up to attend, is more bright and beautiful than usual, which makes Wu Lei's eyes a little straight.
"Wu Shao, don't just look at it, don't go over quickly. Zhong Qian's cousin saw that Wu Lei was stunned and did not move, and said.
Wu Lei came back to his senses and hurriedly walked over, "Qianqian, you are so beautiful today." ”
Zhong Qian glanced at Wu Lei in disgust, moved half a step to the side, kept a distance from Wu Lei, and walked into the Wu family manor accompanied by her second aunt.
Cousin Zhong Qian looked at this scene and said to Wu Lei: "Wu Shao, it seems that you still have to spend some effort on Zhong Qian, this girl is stubborn, but very traditional, if you become her man, she will naturally be obedient to you."
Wu Lei smiled: "Don't worry, I'm good at this." ”
With the arrival of Zhong Qian, the engagement banquet officially began.
The old man of the Zhong family did not come over, but let Zhong Qian's second uncle be the representative.
On the Wu family's side, Wu Zhenguo, the head of the family, and Wu Zhenguo's younger brother Wu Zhenbang, attended with all their family members.
After a few words of greeting, the elders of the two families instructed the master of ceremonies to start the engagement ceremony.
From beginning to end, Wu Lei's eyes never left Zhong Qian, and he was even a little impatient, and after completing the engagement ceremony, he wanted to take Zhong Qian for himself.
Zhong Qian's expression was a little blank, just like her second aunt said, she accepted her fate.
When the master of ceremonies finished his opening remarks and announced that the two were exchanging love tokens, Zhong Qian looked at the ring handed over by Wu Lei, and was reluctant to reach out to take it.
Seeing this, the master of ceremonies on the side said, "Miss Zhong is a little shy, everyone give her some applause and encouragement." ”
Zhong Qian looked at the applause in the audience, saw his second uncle's stern eyes, and sighed softly. Reach out and take the ring.
"Wait a minute!" a voice caught the attention of everyone present.
