Chapter 8: Unwillingness
"Miss Bai!" I was surprised to find that behind me was Bai Lu.
She wore a black bandeau dress, revealing a snow-white neck with a sapphire the size of a pigeon's egg on her chest, giving her the temperament of a young lady.
She handed the champagne to the waitress and invited me to sit on the couch next to her.
"Mr. Mo, I didn't expect to meet you here." Bai Lu put her hands in the middle of her thighs and leaned next to me.
I scratched my scalp and remembered what I said when I showed her palmistry last time, so I quickly apologized: "Miss Bai, I showed you palmistry last time, I hope you don't mind ......." β
In fact, I also want to say that I can help you solve your problem.
Bai Lu hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't blame yourself." "She stopped me from talking and instead asked me if I was hungry or wanted something to eat or drink, and she was willing to help me get it.
But I sighed, and said that I didn't have much appetite for this banquet.
"Mr. Mo, are you alright? Looking preoccupied? β
Indeed, when I saw the banner, I kept frowning and not feeling good, so I said, "The person I am destined to be with someone else." β
"Ah, really?" Bai Lu looked around at the men and women at the banquet, trying to guess which girl it was.
"Is that the eldest lady at the banquet? The Dong family, or the Wang family, or the Zhang family? Bai Lu asked me, and I sighed again: "It has nothing to do with those eldest ladies." β
"Who's that, do you need me to help you? I'm familiar with the girls at this banquet. Bai Lu grinned at me, her eyes were bent into crescents, and it was obvious that her gossip heart was overflowing.
I pointed to the banner on the wall and said lightly: "It's Miss Tang Wanru who is engaged today." β
Bai Lu was so frightened that she almost didn't sit still, hurriedly tidied up her skirt, and stammered to me, "Mr. Mo...... You don't have to joke. β
I said seriously: "I'm not kidding, I'm thinking about whether to grab a kiss for a while." β
Bai Lu touched my forehead with her hand, and said with an embarrassed expression: "I thought you had a fever and were talking nonsense." β
"You don't know Tang Wanru, how can she be the person you are destined for?"
I clenched my fists, feeling that Bai Lu must be looking down on me, thinking that I was a stinky fortune teller, and I was not worthy of a daughter like them.
I asked with a cold face, "Then do you think Tang Wanru will like this engagement?" β
Bai Lu sighed: "What's the difference between liking and disliking, aren't the children of wealthy families all the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker?" β
I asked again, "So, you all like to be a puppet?" β
Bai Lu was slightly stunned, as if surprised, and kept looking at my face, while I said lightly: "Didn't I say it?" β
Bai Lu poked my head with her finger and said that I was naΓ―ve.
I pushed her fingers away and said coldly: "I'm not naΓ―ve, I'm called daring to pursue love, and even thought about snatching relatives to prevent Tang Wanru from being a puppet." β
"Love needs to be pursued, even if Tang Wanru doesn't like me in the end, I have more courage than you to live as my true self."
"So, Miss Bai, I still bother you to respect my thoughts!"
In the face of such a rich girl, I must not talk about my background, life experience, and relationship. I had to put my head out, courage, ego, personality, and sincerity in order for me to crush her on the topic.
I even put on a sincere look and looked at Bai Lu, looking at her a little unnatural.
She stood up, looked down and whispered, "That...... That, I hope Mr. Mo, you can be the talker. β
She seemed to run shyly.
I'm wondering, you're a shy hammer!
Don't...... I stared at the girl too seriously, thinking I was flirting with her.
However, I am also thinking about how to prevent Tang Wanru from getting engaged, or I don't need to stop it, as long as I meet Tang Wanru and think about making the other party fall in love with me in the future.
After all, this is only a nominal marriage contract, and it is not impossible for the Tang family to regret the marriage.
The Tang family lacks a son-in-law, and after I find out the details of Sun Xingluo, as long as my value is higher than that of the other party.
Then, the future son-in-law of the Tang family will inevitably be me.
At this moment, Li Hong twisted Xiaoman's waist and walked over with three friends, obviously to introduce me.
"Brother Mo Shao, this is Jiang Chengru, the president of the Jinling Jewelry Association."
"This is Xuanfeng Zidao, the master of Chaotianguan, and a friend of President Jiang."
"This is Sister Hailin, a jewelry collector."
Jiang Chengru is not tall, only 1.65 meters in appearance, with silver hair, but no wrinkles on his face, he is wearing a yellow Hanfu and a jade Maitreya.
Xuanfeng Zidaoren, a middle-aged man in his fifties, wearing a cyan robe, hugged my fist, and I also saluted.
Hai Linzi's sister is older, estimated to be over seventy years old, and the purple bracelet she wears is worth more than 10 million.
I also briefly introduced myself, Mo Chop, Blind Sect.
At this time, on the rostrum of the banquet, a host wearing a white suit and holding a microphone spoke: "Gentlemen, ladies, I would like to invite Mr. Tang Tianxiong to speak for us. β
A middle-aged man in a suit walked towards the podium.
He took the microphone and said, "Welcome everyone, witness the engagement of my daughter Tang Wanru and Sun Xingluo." β
"I'm so happy too! I can see the happiness of my daughter. β
"In addition, Sun Xingluo is a very outstanding young talent, who studied under the feng shui master Hu Yu, and is also the inheritor of the 32nd generation of a family of color craftsmen."
"Next, I would like to invite two newcomers to come up and say a few words."
Everyone applauded and smiled.
This so-called family of colorsmiths was the papersmith of the year.
I looked at the front desk, and suddenly saw Bai Lu walking over, and my eyes widened suddenly...... What's going on?
Bai Lu held the microphone, looking like a beautiful girl, and greeted everyone very kindly: "Hello everyone, I'm Tang Wanru." β
Standing next to her was a young man in a suit, with a slender figure and a handsome face, Sun Xingluo.
It's just that judging from his face, this kid has a yin heart in his heart.
Because of the hooked nose, the lips are small, and there is a red mole at the corner of the eye.
Oh, my God!
This kind of person can also be a door-to-door son-in-law?
What kind of animal is the cuckoo bird? With an idiom, it can be shown that the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
The cuckoo does not build its own nest, and then allows other birds to lay eggs in the nest, and when the cuckoo's young birds grow up, they will actively bite other young birds to death.
This is equivalent to recruiting a wolf cub for the Tang family.
The host was active and angry on stage, and asked Sun Xingluo if he was willing to marry Tang Wanru in the future?
Sun Xingluo looked at Tang Wanru excitedly, and said very hard: "I am willing." β
Then, the host asked Tang Wanru, "Are you willing to marry Sun Xingluo in the future?" β
Tang Wanru opened her mouth and didn't speak, her eyes scanned the crowd, trying to find someone.
Finally, she saw me in the crowd.
At this moment, we looked at each other, which made me feel a sense of shame and self-shame, and I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill down, who would have thought that she was Tang Wanru!
I'm talking too much......
A trace of expectation flashed in Tang Wanru's eyes, and it was a kind of hope.
I can clearly feel a strong emotion, hoping that I will speak for the word and show the bold words of not long ago!
That means something like:
Didn't you say that you were going to help me get rid of the puppet?
Didn't you say, you're going to tell me what courage is, what it means to live as yourself?
You don't mean that I am the person you are destined to be, and you have the right to pursue it, even if we are not together in the end.
Then you will prove it to me!
That short ten seconds of anticipation seems like a century has passed.
In fact, I never thought about how to stop the engagement.
Tang Wanru's eyes gradually dimmed, and when her eyes became red, I couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly: "I don't want to!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on me.
That feeling is like a thorn in the back, like a fish in the throat! The people present, some laughing at me, some surprised, some angry, or thoughtful, were waiting to see my performance.
