âYeahâ¦â Jiang Xiaowei smiled nonchalantly.
âBut there are so many people, what are you going to do now?â Wei Liao looked at Jiang Xiaowei sympathetically.
âDo nothing.â Then, Jiang Xiaowei turned around to leave.
Wei Liao sat down beside Su Yu; neither of them said anythingâ¦
âDoes anyone know whatâs going on?â Huo Mian said as she looked at them.
âI know that Du Jianan was dating his secretary, but the Du Family looks down on her.â
âYet another story of people breaking apart lovebirds. How sadâ¦â Huo Mian felt sympathy towards people who had to give up on love because of their family backgrounds. She and Qin Chu went through the exact same thing.
âDoes Xiaowei know about this?â
âShe does, I told her about it, but she said that she didnât care. Something about marriage being a tool that both parties could utilizeâ¦â
âIf Du Jianan doesnât show up today, Xiaowei will be really embarrassed⦠if he didnât want to get engaged, he shouldâve said so. What a scumbag.â
Then, Huo Mian couldnât help but get up from her seatâ¦
âWhat are you doing now?â Su Yu looked at her.
âIâm going to go ask Gao Ran.â
She was sure that Gao Ran would come to an event like this.
However, after a lap around the ballroom, she didnât see himâ¦
Therefore, she took out her phone and called Gao Ran.
âHey, Huo Mian.â
âWhere are you?â
âIâm on duty.â
âYou didnât come to your cousinâs engagement party?â Huo Mian was somewhat surprised.
âI didnât, why?â
âI heard that your cousin ran away, and Xiaowei doesnât know what to do.â
âHeâs been in love with that female secretary for a long time, he wonât be happy even if he married Jiang Xiaowei.â Gao Ran seemed to know quite a lot.
âIf thatâs the case, then why not make things clear from the beginning? What is a girl like Xiaowei supposed to do with a mess like this?â Huo Mian blamed.
âI think my cousin was pressured by my aunt and the others⦠Never mind, itâs not our business. Iâm on duty, letâs talk later.â
After hanging up, Huo Mian became even more depressedâ¦
She walked up to Jiang Xiaowei and held her hand. âXiaowei, you should tell your parents to cancel the engagement party, I donât think Du Jiananâs coming.â
Jiang Xiaowei nodded. âIâm fine, donât worry about me. I know what to do.â
Su Yu and Wei Liao sat beside each otherâ¦
Su Yu looked at him and smiled. âShouldnât you be happy that she canât get engaged?â
âWhy would I be happy?â
âIâm not going to expose you, but yeah, laugh all you want.â
Su Yu knew how Wei Liao felt about Jiang Xiaoweiâ¦
Wei Liao did feel relieved upon seeing that her engagement fell apartâ¦
However, his heart still ached for herâ¦
Werenât women supposed to be the ones that ran away? Jiang Xiaowei was such a proud woman, and her fiancée running away would seriously hurt her pride.
She was probably devastatedâ¦
The engagement party was supposed to start at 10:30 AM.
It was already 10:27 AM, but Du Jianan still hadnât arrivedâ¦
His parents were anxious, and he wouldnât pick up his phone.
When they called Du Jiananâs office, his staff said that he wasnât there.
Both the Du and the Jiang families were embarrassed that Du Jianan disappeared into thin airâ¦
Jiang Xiaoweiâs parents didnât care about money nor fame, but their reputationâ¦
Now that something like this happened, her parents were anxious and worried, and heartbroken for their daughter.
âXiaowei⦠you should leave first. Your father and I will announce that your engagement party has been canceled and deal with whatever happens afterward,â Jiao Xiaoweiâs mother said.
âItâs okay, Mom, itâs my engagement. Let me do it.â
Then, Jiang Xiaowei picked up a microphone and walked to the center of the stageâ¦
Faced with more than 300 guests, she slowly said, âDear guests, thank you for coming to our engagement party, but sadly, Mr. Du Jianan thought through some stuff before it started and didnât think that we were compatible. Therefore, we decided not to get engaged.â
As soon as she finished, all the guests began discussing amongst themselvesâ¦
âI feel bad for herâ¦â Huo Mian looked heartbreakingly at Jiang Xiaowei, who was standing on the stage.
Just then, she added, âBut todayâs a good day. Since Iâm already here, I donât plan to leave with my hands empty, nor do I want to waste all this food. Therefore, I came up with a bold idea⦠Do any of the single men here want to get engaged to me? If you have the guts to come up, I have the guts to leave with you. If you have the guts to marry me, then I will have the guts to spend the rest of my life with you.â
After Jiang Xiaowei said all that, the entire ballroom went into uproarâ¦
Was she publicly picking a fiancée? Itâs crazyâ¦
âThis woman has gone madâ¦â Su Yu took a sip of the blueberry juice and said in all seriousness.
