Chapter 112 Engagemen (2/2)

”Dad, I'm afraid our previous plan will change.”

Xia Yongqiang did not look so good, but he had to smile and socialize with others. His face sank when he heard Xia Haixin's words. ”We'll give up this project. Anyway, as long as Shen Xinglan and A Miao are engaged, we and the Ji family will be tied together.”

”But the Ji family hasn't come yet. Is there any problem?” Xia Haixin did not forget what happened when Shen Xinglan was getting engaged last time.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the door, and people's voices of congratulation came one after another. Obviously, the Ji family that Xia Haixin mentioned had arrived.

”Come on, let's go.” Xia Yongqiang adjusted his expression to go greet them.

Ji Zeming's mood was not much better. His son was getting engaged, but he did not know he was supposed to be happy because he got informed when it happened.

”Come on, don't keep your face so straight, or people will think you are dissatisfied with this marriage!” Bai Yongwei took Ji Zeming's arm to persuade him.

”I was already dissatisfied.” Ji Zeming snorted coldly. ”I didn't want to come either.”

Bai Yongwei smiled at the people nearby and whispered, ”You are here now.”

”In-laws!” Xia Yongqiang just began to act, unlike his usual self, as he put a huge smile on his face and said to Ji Zeming, ”Hello.”

Ji Zeming would not embarrass him in public even if he was unhappy. He shook hands with Xia Yongqiang and said, ”This child doesn't understand. I'll invite Old Xia to dinner later.”

”You are welcome. I was negligent and should have called the two families together.” Xia Yongqiang felt a little better when he saw Ji Zeming giving him face. ”A Miao is young, you will have to forgive her in the future.”

Yao Lili and Xia Wan stood off to the corner, while Bai Youran represented the Bai family.

”I didn't expect Shen Xinglan to marry her,” Bai Youran disapprovingly said. ”But in all likelihood, it won't be long. Men...”

Xia Wan scowled and glared at him angrily. ”And what about you?”

”You should know my feelings for you!” Bai Youran hugged her.

Yao Lili looked at the surrounding environment with a jealous face. ”When you get married, your wedding scene must be bigger than theirs.”

”There is nothing comparable.” Xia Wan did not care, but warned her, ”Mom, you have to be careful. Why do you show a dark face?”

”I'm just not happy, what's the matter? She can't control when I should smile.” Yao Lili spoke so deliberately and loudly that she was pushed by the approaching Xia Haixin.

Xia Wan saw Yao Lili who also wanted to quarrel. She hurriedly pulled her. ”Mom, if you embarrass A Miao on such an occasion, Shen Xinglan will not give you face, and even grandpa will not be able to protect you.”

”Learn more from your daughter.” Xia Haixin said impatiently, ”Don't embarrass her.”

Yao Lili listened to Xia Wan the most, curled her lip, and fell silent.

On the other side, Ji Xue showed a face of discontent at Bai Lu.

”What have you been doing recently?”

Bai Lu, with a voluptuous and sexy figure, was wearing a red improved cheongsam. But her face was not very good, and thick makeup could not hide the dark circles under her eyes.

”I'm a little busy.” She was staring at the second floor to see if Shen Xinglan was on it.

”Busy?” Ji Xue shot her a glare. ”What are you doing?”

Bai Lu said impatiently, ”I don't need to tell you what I am busy with.”

”Do you think I am willing to care about you?” Ji Xue snorted. ”He is getting engaged. We'll see what you can do when they get married.”

”Haha, they can divorce after getting married. If you are in a hurry, do it yourself!” Bai Lu put down her glass and turned to leave.

Ji Xue shouted, but she didn't turn around.

”Stupid woman, I really can't count on you.” Ji Xue stamped her foot and ran back to Bai Yongwei.

Bai Yongwei had just finished chatting with several rich ladies when the mother and daughter stepped aside and saw the lights suddenly dim down.

”Please welcome tonight's main characters, Mr. Shen Xinglan, and Ms. A Miao!” The MC announced loudly as the music played, and the door in the middle of the second floor opened.

A Miao walked down the spiral staircase step by step, holding onto Shen Xinglan.

The discontented faces of the Xia family, the resentful eyes of Ji Xue and Bai Lu, and the envious and suspicious eyes of others came into her view one after another. At that time, A Miao's mood was complicated.

”Nervous?” The man next to her was very sensitive to her emotional changes.

”No.” A Miao looked at him with her head tilted to the side. ”I'm deeply moved all of a sudden!”

Shen Xinglan bent the corners of his mouth. ”Are you happy?”

”I'm happy!”

The two of them went up to the stage. Ji Zeming was also invited to the stage. After giving Shen Xinglan a hard look, he gave the gift to A Miao and made a few symbolic remarks.

”Mr. Shen also has a gift for miss A Miao!” A hostess came up carrying a tray.

A Miao did not know there was still this section.

”I have a surprise for you.” Shen Xinglan handed the document to the MC.

The MC read aloud, ”Mr. Shen will transfer 10% of the Ji Corp to miss A Miao as an engagement gift!”

There was a silence, followed by a heated discussion. Xia Yongqiang's eyes flashed. No one knew what he was planning. And Bai Yongwei's face was very unpleasant on the Ji's side.

”Wait a minute!” Suddenly, there was a sound at the door.
