1449 Shotgun Marriage Part Twenty (1/2)

…

It was the school's 100th anniversary, so the school arranged for the top three students in each class to attend as representatives.

Teachers, students, and guests filled the rows.

The host was doing a wonderful job as well.

Xuxu, Su Yue, and Bai Jing sat together in a row. Yan Rusheng informed Xuxu that he had something to settle first.

But half an hour later, he still wasn't back.

Xuxu peered around the venue, looking for him.

”I'm sure all the teachers and students are familiar with our next esteemed guest. He is the President of Flourish & Prosper and he too graduated from Yizhong.”

The host loudly announced the arrival of Flourish & Prosper's President.

Xuxu glanced at the stage in shock.

”Let us applaud to warmly welcome President Yan Rusheng from Flourish & Prosper.”

Applause thundered and echoed around before Xuxu could react.

The gorgeous man, dressed smartly in a suit, strode across the stage towards the host.

The host bowed and gestured at the microphone stand. ”President Yan.”

He gracefully walked to the microphone stand. He began to speak with a faint smile playing on his lips. ”The principal insisted that I had to give a speech. I only have a few words. I would like to thank Yizhong, and I would like to thank Teacher Li for organizing a summer camp for our class.”

He paused as his eyes darted to a specific woman in the crowd. The woman looked surprised… and she seemed touched at the same time.

A tender smile played at the corners of his mouth. ”And lastly, Xuxu, thank you for accompanying me through my childhood.”

Yan Rusheng nodded curtly at the crowd.

After that, he left the stage.

It had everyone dumbfounded. The speech… was way too brief.

The principal and teachers were all silently protesting.
