The media were all in the hall on the third floor.
From the moment they entered the hall, they were all madly taking photos.
Everything was exquisite, and they were all burning funds.
When the big screen showed the picture, the flashes never stopped.
The people sitting around were all in the same industry, so they had to compete with each other.
The second-floor side hall was filled with wealthy tycoons who were calm and elegant, but the third-floor side hall suddenly felt like a press conference.
Only the main hall remained isolated from the world. Su Ji and Pei Huai had been brought back to the stage by the staff. Below the stage were the closest family and friends to witness the engagement ceremony of the two protagonists.
It was a joyous occasion. Everything was very warm.
An engagement ceremony was not like a wedding ceremony. There was no complicated process. The important thing was to let everyone witness it. From today onwards, Su Ji was the Pei family’s future daughter-in-law, Pei Huai’s fiancée, and the love of his life.
The process ended, and the audience applauded enthusiastically. The two of them stood together. They were so beautiful that everyone only had one thought when they saw them standing together.
They were meant for each other.
There was no one else.
On the Pei family’s side, Pei Qingshen’s representative sent a message. On the Su family’s side…it was Madam Xu Mingzhi.
After the engagement ceremony, the pink diamond in Su Ji’s hand shone brightly.
Godear was a high-end Western restaurant, but today, they had prepared both Chinese and Western dishes, including many creative dishes.
In order to satisfy Sponsor Daddy, they were going all out!
The western part was Godear’s hidden menu for VIPs.
Pan-fried cubes made with top-grade Wagyu beef, Tomahawk Wellington steak, black truffle cuttlefish spaghetti, and crispy toast covered with fat foie gras for dessert.
The Chinese dishes looked more down-to-earth, but the ingredients used were of the highest quality. Every dish was made by the chef specially hired by Godear for the state banquet.
Most of the dishes at Old Master Pei’s table were mainly Chinese food. The squirrel fish was golden in color and its tail was propped up high. The stir-fried asparagus was made with the secret soup that the chefs made during a cooking competition. The Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was even more delicious than expected.
Everyone was talking and laughing, their best wishes flowing in their words. They were all talking about how amazing the protagonists of today were.
It was Xie Lingyu’s first time seeing such a scene, and it was also her first time attending a big family’s engagement party. She had a happy smile on her face.
Cao Zhuzhu put some food on her plate. “Do you like it?”
“It’s so festive. Of course I do.” Xie Lingyu looked around and then looked at the two noble families at the main table. “Su Ji is so lucky. They are a really good match. The old man has character. Mr. Pei is knowledgeable and easy-going. The wife is so beautiful and warm.”
When Cao Zhuzhu heard this, she probed, “then if I marry into the Pei family in the future…
Xie Lingyu looked at her.
Cao Zhuzhu’s expression stiffened unnaturally.
This was bad.
There were only two masters in the Pei family. The Third Master was already engaged, so only the Second Master was single.
Her words just now were a little too obvious, and her mother could definitely guess it.
Then, at this moment!
Xie Lingyu looked at her cute daughter and suddenly laughed. “Stop teasing me.”
Cao Zhuzhu: “?”
Xie Lingyu covered her mouth and laughed. “Young Master Xingxing is so young. What are you thinking about?”
Cao Zhuzhu: ‘
What are you thinking!
She even thought of Pei Xingxing, but she didn’t consider Pei Song at all?
On the third floor, the media was filming the engagement party on the tip of their tongue at the dining table.
“Did you see Su Ji’s figure? She’s so graceful. The gown is made of skin-tight material. She doesn’t look pregnant.”
Someone started to gossip.
“What do you know? Add some light.” The person next to him was taking pictures of the Wellington steak from all angles. “Female celebrities nowadays are very good at managing their figures during pregnancy. What can you tell just by looking? Look at today’s engagement banquet. The entire building of Godear has been booked. I heard that it’s not just for a day. If she wasn’t pregnant, why would they take it so seriously?”
The reporter at the next table turned around when he heard that. He hung his camera around his neck and rested his arm on the back of the chair. “That’s right. Besides, don’t you think that they’re engaged not long after the official announcement? If it wasn’t a shotgun marriage, why would someone like CEO be in a rush?”
The reporter who spoke first thought for a moment. “He wants to marry Su Ji as soon as possible!”
The person next to him laughed. The reporter at the next table waved his hand and turned back. “You should watch less idol dramas.”
As the banquet came to an end, the guests were still a little reluctant to leave.
However, it was time for the most exciting part of the day!
Pei Huai and Su Ji walked up to the stage again. According to the procedure, they should thank the guests and then the engagement banquet would end. However, after he went on stage, Pei Huai beckoned to Shen Mu, who was waiting at the side.
Shen Mu nodded and brought the documents in his hands onto the stage.
This step beyond the usual procedure surprised both the Su and Pei families. Not only them, but all the guests in the three halls were focused on the document.
Zhang Guihua’s expression changed when she saw the thick stack of things in
Shen Mu’s hands.
Lu Ailian noticed her reaction, and her expression was a little subtle. She whispered something to the people beside her.
There were a few important reporters who were following them. They had originally planned to leave when they saw that the banquet was coming to an end, but when they saw this lineup…they sat back down at the fastest speed in their lives!
The reporters were used to seeing female celebrities join rich families, so they were very sensitive to such things.
They didn’t even need a camera to take a close-up of the document. They seemed to already know what it was.
However, this kind of thing was usually signed privately. CEO Pei had signed it in front of all the guests. That would be interesting!
Someone had already fixed the camera on the expressions of Su Ji and the girl’s parents.
Pei Huai looked at her beautiful face and said in a gentle and doting voice, “sign it first. I’ll tell you later.”
The reporters soon realized that although the girl’s parents were watching attentively, their expressions did not change too much. Su Ji was even more indifferent.
There was only one person whose expression made the reporters very satisfied.
That was Zhang Guihua!
There was anxiety and embarrassment. It was the most suitable expression to be used as the cover of the news!
Then, under Zhang Guihua’s gaze, Shen Mugong respectfully handed a document and a pen to Su Ji..
