Chapter 003: The Uninvited Guest Makes a Mess of Engagement
Su Ze didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say, "We haven't seen each other for 16 years." β
Shangguan Furong smiled blankly: "So, 16 years ago, you saw me?" β
Su Ze was stunned and said, "That's right! What, you don't remember? β
Shangguan Furong shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't remember." β
When Su Ze heard this, he couldn't help but show a disappointed expression on his face.
At this time, Fan Xiaohui said: "You talk, I'll go downstairs and have a look." β
Shangguan Furong smiled: "Okay." β
When she went out, Su Ze asked, "Who is she?" β
Shangguan Furong said: "Her name is Fan Xiaohui, and she is my colleague and close friend. β
Su Ze let out an "oh" and asked again, "Where are you from?" β
Shangguan Furong said: "The name of their village is a bit awkward, and I can't remember it. After saying that, he smiled shyly.
Su Ze let out an "oh" again.
The two fell silent.
After a long time, Shangguan Furong said: "You agreed to marry me before we met, if you regret it now, it's still too late." β
"Is it too late?" Su Ze smiled, "The banquet outside is ready." β
"Huh? Do you really regret it? Shangguan Furong pursed her lips and said in amazement.
"However, it's too late to regret it." Su Ze looked at her and said with a faint smile.
"You're kidding, aren't you?" Shangguan Furong asked with a relieved smile.
Su Ze's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Yes, just kidding." Then he stopped talking.
Fan Xiaohui came downstairs and sat on the side of the hall, looking at the joyful and slightly hectic crowd.
There weren't many people who came to the engagement, probably just close relatives and friends, and at this time, she saw Tao Min walking towards her.
Tao Min's figure is slightly fat, well-maintained, well-dressed, with short fluffy hair, gestures, and still some traces of Peking Opera stage performances.
She walked with her head down, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when she reached the staircase, she looked up and saw Fan Xiaohui, so she said with a smile: "Xiaohui, you go and call them down, the ceremony is about to begin." β
Fan Xiaohui hurriedly smiled and answered "hey", then got up from the stool, came upstairs, arrived at the door, knocked on the door and said, "Furong, it's time to go down, the ceremony is about to begin!" β
Shangguan Furong in the house heard this, answered "Okay", and came out of the house with Su Ze.
When Su Ze passed by Fan Xiaohui's side, he was like two people before-his eyes drifted over her head and went straight downstairs.
When Fan Xiaohui saw it, she felt a little sad in her heart.
When the people in the hall saw the two protagonists appear, there was a burst of applause, and when the applause fell, Su Mingxuan took the microphone and said: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the engagement ceremony between Xiaoer Su Ze and Shangguan Furong, and below, please open champagne for the two of them!" β
Then, Su Ze and Shangguan Furong shook a bottle of champagne together for a few moments, and then, the cork was uncorked with a "bang", the champagne was sprayed out in all directions, and the guests let out a cry of surprise.
The two of them also laughed "grin" and poured wine into their glasses.
The wine glass is stacked into a pyramid shape, and when the top glass is full, the wine immediately pours down until the bottom glass is full, and the two of them stop.
Everyone was about to raise their glasses and drink in order, when they heard a woman's voice in the hall - "Su Ze, you can't be engaged to her!" β
Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around to look, but saw that there was an additional man and a woman in the house, both of whom looked to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, and the woman looked at Su Ze angrily.
Su Ze saw that these two people were his college alumni in the United States, the man's name was Xie Wei, and the woman's name was Lu Qing, so he didn't care, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone drinks." β
The crowd that quieted down in an instant was laughing again, and everyone raised their glasses to congratulate a pair of young people on tying the knot.
At this time, Lu Qing rushed towards the stage angrily, Xie Wei wanted to stop her but it was too late, she rushed to Su Ze's side, grabbed his arm and said, "Su Ze, you can't get engaged to her!" Why are you engaged to her! β
When Shangguan Furong heard this, she looked at her with wide eyes and shock.
When Su Ze saw it, he said to Lu Qing angrily: "Have you made enough trouble!" Who am I engaged to, what does it have to do with you! β
When Lu Qing heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said sadly: "Su Ze, you said that you don't have a girlfriend and you don't want to have a girlfriend for the time being, but why did you get engaged to her as soon as you returned to China?" Is someone forcing you? As long as you don't want to, no one will force you! β
Seeing her like this, Su Ze was moved with compassion again, and lowered his voice and said: "I volunteered, no one forced me, Lu Qing, don't make any more trouble." β
After speaking, he said to Xie Wei, who was stunned on the side: "Xie Wei, you take her down." β
Xie Wei listened and hurriedly said, "Oh, okay." After speaking, he took a few steps forward, picked up Lu Qing and walked down.
Walked to a secluded place and said to her, "Hurry up, don't be embarrassed here." With that, he pulled her out of the hall.
Fan Xiaohui looked at all this coldly, and secretly thought, the handsome man is really unreliable.
After the banquet and the guests left, Shangguan Furong found an opportunity and asked Su Ze with a little grievance, "Who was that woman just now?" Is it your girlfriend in the United States? β
Su Ze looked at her innocent eyes and said, "I don't have a girlfriend in the United States. β
"Then why did she make trouble?" Shangguan Furong still asked.
"How do I know?" Su Ze said lightly.
Shangguan Furong saw that she couldn't ask anything, so she had to give up, and saw that the two adults were already saying goodbye, so she went out with her parents and got into the car.
Su Ze didn't go with his parents, he got into his car alone, drove on the road, and suddenly saw Fan Xiaohui standing there under the bus stop sign in front of him, so he parked the car next to her, poked his head out and said, "Come up, give you a ride." β
Fan Xiaohui thought that he was Shangguan Furong's fiancΓ©, and in order to avoid suspicion, she said, "No, thank you!" β
Su Ze didn't say anything more after hearing this, but he didn't start the car, just stopped in place.
Fan Xiaohui saw that he was occupying the bus lane, and a car was slowly coming behind him, so she hurriedly stepped forward, pulled the car door and sat down.
Su Zefang started the car with satisfaction and drove forward, while saying, "At first, I thought you were Shangguan Furong. β
Fan Xiaohui was stunned and said, "Didn't you play together when you were children?" Don't you remember her at all? β
Su Ze smiled: "At that time, she was 6 years old and I was 10 years old, in my memory, she should be like you, your eyes are too similar to her at that time." β
Fan Xiaohui listened and said, "Yes, people say that we look a little alike." β
Su Ze said: "When she was 6 years old, she was not very beautiful, but those eyes were unforgettable. β
Fan Xiaohui listened, and didn't know what to say for a while, Su Ze asked, "Where do you live?" β
Fan Xiaohui said: "The dormitory of the Peking Opera Company. β
Su Ze let out an "oh".
Fan Xiaohui suddenly remembered the woman who came to make trouble, so she asked, "The girl who appeared halfway is your ex-girlfriend?" β
