At this time, the hall of the Xia family's old mansion was full of guests.

Although today is only the day when the Qin family came to send off the employment, as a wealthy family in Yanjing, Xia Wanli, the old man of the Xia family, still invited many relatives and friends, including many important people in the Yanjing business circle.

The brightest person in the crowd was the young man.

This person is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, he is still quite handsome, with a tall posture and a good temperament, and he is definitely an existence that stands out from the crowd.

He is Qin Shijie.

The grandson of the Qin family who asked the sky.

Although the Qin family is still very young, it has long been active in the Yanjing business circle, and now many of the elders present all know this rising star.

Standing next to Qin Shijie was a middle-aged man, and he smiled and said, "Shijie, your marriage contract can go smoothly this time, but it is thanks to your Grandpa Xia's approval, why don't you hurry up and come over to toast your Grandpa Xia." ”

"Yes, Second Uncle. ”

When Qin Shijie heard this, he immediately respectfully picked up his wine glass, smiled at the old man opposite and said, "Grandpa Xia, I have liked Yaoyao since I was a child, and it is thanks to you that I can marry her as I wish." Grandpa Xia, Shijie is here to toast you. ”

Sitting opposite was an old man in his seventies, this old man's hair was white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he didn't look very good, but he seemed to be in a good mood today, and he smiled at the moment: "Yaoyao is my most precious granddaughter, and she will inherit my Xia Group in the future, you must not treat her badly." ”

"Of course. ”

Qin Shijie suddenly said.

The two of them had a drink at this time.

The crowd applauded.

At this time, Qin Shijie's second uncle Qin Ruhai smiled and said, "Old man Xia, it's not early, why didn't you see Yaoyao's girl?"

According to the rules of Yanjing, the woman herself needs to be present, and then after the oral agreement of both parties, the appointment ceremony is reached, and finally the date of marriage is agreed.

Although the two families are wealthy families, they also respect customs, so the elders on both sides originally thought that the two would complete the employment first, and then slowly temper the relationship.

Xia Wanli smiled slightly and said, "Shanyue, go and invite Yaoyao out." ”

"Yes, Father. ”

Sitting next to Xia Wanli was a middle-aged man with a handsome face.

This person is Xia Yao's father, Xia Shanyue.

He quickly stepped aside to find a secretary or something, and the man hurried away.

Not much.

Xia Yao walked out of it.

The original Xia Yao's appearance was unusually outstanding, and today she had to be asked to dress up well, which was naturally bright and moving at this time.

Qin Shijie's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart became hot.

"Grandpa. ”

Xia Yao came here, but her expression was very indifferent.

Xia Wanli nodded and said with a smile: "Today is the day you send you to be hired, and I haven't seen your Uncle Qin yet." ”

"Uncle Qin. ”

Although Xia Yao was very angry at the agreement between the elders of the two sides, this matter was not Qin Ruhai's head after all, so she still called softly at the moment.

Qin Ruhai said with a smile: "Yaoyao, we will be a family in the future, so we don't have to be so polite." ”

Xia Yao frowned, and then said slowly: "Thank you Uncle Qin for your kindness, but I really can't agree to this marriage contract." ”

"What?"

Qin Ruhai's face changed.

Qin Shijie over there was also shocked.

Although Xia Wanli knew that Xia Yao had always opposed this marriage, he didn't expect to say it directly here, and he said in a deep voice: "Yaoyao, don't mess around. Shijie is the child I grew up with, both in character and ability are quite good, and the two of you have a very deep relationship since childhood, if you can get married, it will be an extremely good thing for both parties. ”

Xia Yao said in a firm tone: "Shijie, I'm sorry! Although our relationship is indeed very good, I don't have that feeling for you, and I don't want you and me to live in pain in the future." ”

"Yaoyao!"

Xia Shanyue didn't expect his daughter to come out at this time, and suddenly shouted in a deep voice.

The corners of Qin Shijie's mouth stiffened slightly, and said: "Yaoyao, I know that things between us are indeed a little faster, but I have always been sincere to you, if you think it is too fast, then I might as well give you some more time." ”

Xia Yao shook her head and said, "It's impossible." ”

Xia Shanyue suddenly scolded: "Yaoyao, don't mess around there!" Shijie came here today to send him off, how sincere he is with so many heavy gifts, don't you know what he wants to do with you? Don't let Shijie have such a good child, who do you want to marry?"

Xia Shanyue didn't say that he didn't cherish Xia Yao.

Opposite.

As his only daughter, Xia Shanyue has always loved Xia Yao very much, but from the bottom of his heart, he also agrees with his father's arrangement.

He really felt from the bottom of his heart that Qin Shijie was an extremely good young man, his ability was undoubted, and his family background was also extremely prominent, and he didn't have the characteristics of those wealthy children at all, the most important thing is that he could see that the other party had always been in love with Yaoyao all these years, isn't such a boy a good match?

Therefore, when Xia Wanli mentioned this matter before, Xia Shanyue directly agreed.

Even if Xia Yao objected to being a father, he didn't pay attention to it.

Xia Yao looked at her father, who seemed to be good for herself, and her eyes couldn't help but show a gloom, and she said slowly: "I already have someone I like!"

"Nonsense!"

Xia Shanyue's face suddenly sank.

"Yao, Yaoyao, you, what did you say?"

Qin Shijie on the opposite side trembled, and the whole person was in a trance.

Xia Yao felt a little unbearable when she saw Qin Shijie's appearance, but thinking that this was a major event related to the happiness of the marriage between the two parties after all, she immediately said firmly: "Shijie, I'm sorry, I can't agree to our marriage, because I already have someone I like in my heart." ”

Qin Shijie squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Yaoyao, I've never heard of any friends of the opposite sex around you, you won't make up a reason because you don't want to get married so soon, right?"

"It's not like that. ”

Xia Yao shook her head.

Qin Shijie suddenly said urgently: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Qin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xia, although our Qin family is not the kind of person who messes around, it is definitely not the kind of family that allows others to bully. The previous marriage contract was agreed upon by the parents of both parties, and we came over today to give the dowry, but now there is such a thing, do you want to make my Shijie a laughing stock in the Yanjing business circle?!"

Although most of the people present are relatives and friends, so they will not spread the rumors, but this kind of thing cannot contain the fire in the paper, and it will always be greatly affected.
