Chapter 116: When the Engagement Takes Place
The date of engagement was chosen on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
It was the day when the Shen family and his wife found someone to calculate it and finalize it, saying that it was auspicious.
Xu Zhiyi naturally had no opinion, so the matter was settled.
Xu Zhiyi went to Shen's house for the Spring Festival.
Although it is somewhat unconventional, her situation is more special.
She has no home, she is alone.
Shen Che and Shen Wenzhi both strongly invited her to Shen's house to celebrate the New Year together.
Xu Zhiyi couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
It's just that she didn't expect that her first Spring Festival in the Shen family would be so unforgettable.
Ye Shujing took her shopping to buy new clothes a few years ago, but she didn't choose one set, but she chose several sets.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the people of the Shen family took her to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, and at night they had a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and set off fireworks together.
When he was about to go to bed at night, Xu Zhiyi also received three big red envelopes.
respectively from Shen Che, Ye Shujing, and Shen Wenzhi.
They say it's New Year's money.
This is not the first time Xu Zhiyi has received New Year's money, when He Yuefang took her to relatives in the past, there would be more or less one or two relatives who stuffed her with New Year's money.
No matter how much, they will all be taken away by He Yuefang.
But such a attentive and sincere red envelope Xu Zhiyi received it for the first time.
Looking at the three heavy red envelopes in her hand, she felt complicated and emotional.
She suddenly had a strong urge to fit in with the family, to truly become a family with them......
During the Spring Festival, Xu Zhiyi lived a very leisurely life.
The Shen family is not short of all kinds of delicacies, Ye Shujing's small kitchen cooks some delicious food from time to time, Xu Zhiyi is fed a lot, and his stomach is full every day.
Her relationship with Ye Shujing is also becoming more and more harmonious.
She found that although this woman's temperament was a little arrogant, if she really decided to be good to someone, she would be good to him with all her heart, without the slightest hypocrisy and cover-up.
may be the same woman, Xu Zhiyi has become the person with whom she has the most conversation.
They will talk about gossip together, complain about the strange men in this world together, and make an appointment for afternoon tea together.
In just a few days, Xu Zhiyi was also taken by her to participate in several wife's banquets and tea parties, which increased a lot of knowledge and contacts.
Those people may not necessarily respect her from the bottom of their hearts, but because of Ye Shujing's face, they will also smile at her and be polite and polite.
……
Soon it was the day of the engagement feast.
It's just that they are engaged, and Xu Zhiyi is still very young, and after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to keep a low profile.
There was no fanfare to send invitations, but just chartered a hotel on the first floor, and invited some relatives and friends who had a good relationship with both sides to witness this happy event.
Mainly relatives and friends of the Shen family, Xu Zhiyi only has three roommates and Lin Youxi on his side.
Originally, Beijing University had more than a week to start school, but in order to witness her engagement banquet, they all bought tickets in advance to come back.
On the day of the engagement, Xu Zhiyi changed into the red dress that Ye Shujing had customized for her, and with the joint efforts of the hairstylist and stylist, the whole person took on a new look and was unbelievably beautiful.
And Shen Che was dressed in a black high-end suit, with a tall and slender posture, and a majestic atmosphere.
When the two appeared at the banquet hand in hand, everyone sighed "golden boy and jade girl".
But there are also surprises.
Xie Wanning sat beside Qin Shuyi, her face gloomy and gloomy, without a trace of a smile.
Especially when she saw Shen Che and Xu Zhiyi appear together, her hands under the table clenched suddenly, and her nails dug deep into the flesh.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on her hand and gently pressed it.
Xie Wanning was stunned, turned around, and saw Qin Shuyi's slightly frowning brows and worried eyes.
"Don't forget what you promised." Qin Shuyi shook his head lightly, lowered his voice and said.
Xie Wanning gritted her teeth, then slowly let go, squeezing out a smile.
"Of course I do, Mother."
The Shen family's post was only given to Qin Shuyi alone.
But it stands to reason that her family can come along.
Because there was such a fuss at Ye Shujing's birthday banquet before, Qin Shuyi didn't want her to go very much.
But Xie Wanning took the initiative to go, and said that as long as she saw Shen Che's brother engaged to another woman, she would let go completely, and repeatedly promised that she would not do anything bad.
After thinking about it again, Qin Shuyi agreed to come down and take her to attend......
Hearing this, Qin Shuyi let go of his hand, but his slightly frowning brows never let go.
For some reason, she always felt weird.
Xie Wanning smiled, but a sinister light flashed in her eyes.
……
Because Xu Zhiyi's situation is a bit special, the engagement ceremony has also made some adjustments, eliminating the link of parents.
There are two ceremonies: the signing of the marriage certificate and the exchange of engagement rings.
After it was over, Shen Che took Xu Zhiyi to toast everyone table by table.
Soon arrived at Qin Shuyi's table.
The moment he saw Xie Wanning, Xu Zhiyi was slightly stunned, and then a little strange was born in his heart.
But no matter how she says she's a guest, as long as she doesn't mess around, she won't say much.
"Thank you all for coming to witness my engagement with Zhizhi, and I respect you." Shen Che picked up the wine glass and said to everyone.
The crowd can also raise their glasses or teacups and greet them politely.
However, just as Shen Che and Xu Zhiyi were about to go to the next table after the end, Xie Wanning suddenly stood up.
"Brother Shen, Miss Xu, can I toast you alone?" She moved too fast, so fast that even Qin Shuyi next to her didn't have time to stop her.
Shen Che and Xu Zhiyi were stunned at the same time.
After a brief look at each other, Shen Che nodded: "Yes." ”
Xie Wanning picked up the wine glass and owed slightly to the two: "I was ignorant before, and I brought some unpleasant experiences to Miss Xu, and here, I am deeply sorry for my behavior." I hope you two can be stronger than Jin and be happy forever......"
With that, she tilted her head and drank the water from her glass in one gulp.
The corners of his mouth raised a meaningful smile in a place that everyone couldn't see......
"Thank you."
Shen Che and Xu Zhiyi nodded, and also symbolically drank some of the wine in the cup.
Seeing this, Qin Shuyi, who had been worried, breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
Seeing that this table was finished, Shen Che took Xu Zhiyi and prepared to go to the next table.
But at this moment, the door of this floor was suddenly pushed open, and a fiery figure went straight to Xu Zhiyi's side.
Before everyone could react, the man slapped Xu Zhiyi's face hard.
"Shameless thing! Did your parents agree to get married, and you rushed to marry someone? Can't you be cheap?! ”
