Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Engagement Day! (5th Update)

Lin Fan’s face was gloomy as he returned to Villa No. 1.

Only the group of tycoons from Ancient State remained, with Zhou Qingyi, Gu Xiaoman, and others standing there, stunned!

"Qingyi, you are amazing... to actually... actually dare to speak to him like that!" Gu Xiaoman was astonished.

Jiang Yunzhi and Zhou Jingrong also felt their hearts skip a beat in terror, but fortunately, Lin Fan did not rage publicly and simply turned around and went back inside Villa No. 1.

Zhou Qingyi admitted that she liked Lin Fan, very much so, but to watch Zhou Ling’er marry someone she did not love, and not say a word, she couldn’t do it!

"Huh."

Zhou Qingyi exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling much relaxed after having spoken those words!

...

Lunar June 16th, Jingzhou, Wang Family.

Everyone knew, today was the engagement day between Wei Rufeng, the Third Young Master of the Wei Family, and the great-granddaughter of the elderly matriarch of the Wang Family.

Early in the morning, the entire Wang Family residence was festively decorated.

Everyone knew today was the day of Zhou Ling’er’s engagement, but apart from her parents, no one remembered it was also her eighteenth birthday.

Today, she was officially an adult.

"There there, the Wei family has sent over dozens of dresses, there must be one you like?"

Wang Qing stood behind Zhou Ling’er, gently combing her hair with a peach wood comb.

"Sigh."

Zhou Ling’er sighed lightly, what did it matter if she liked a dress or not? All the dresses were beautiful, but the issue was, who would be standing next to her while she wore it?

"Still sighing, if you really don’t want to marry! Mom promises you, I’ll take you away," Wang Qing gritted her teeth.

In these days, seeing Zhou Ling’er becoming increasingly haggard, Wang Qing could not bear it.

She had come to a realization; she had survived all these years following her husband. Didn’t she originally escape the Wang Family to pursue her own happiness? How had it now become letting her own beloved daughter marry someone she disliked?

"Mom, please don’t say that, I know you have your difficulties too, the old matriarch has supported the Wang Family single-handedly at her age, what would happen to the whole Wang Family if I don’t marry into the Wei Family?" Zhou Ling’er said with a sad smile, heartbreakingly.

"Sigh."

Another long sigh, Wang Qing patted Zhou Ling’er’s shoulders, saying, "You’ve suffered."

"I’m not suffering, with so many tycoons from Jingzhou and famous ladies witnessing my marriage, I am fortunate!" Zhou Ling’er was laughing but tears streamed down her face.

Wang Qing opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

...

Inside the largest living room of the Wang Family.

It was almost time, the room was filled with guests, and even the corridors and hallways outside were crowded with people waiting for the newlyweds to appear.

The group of tycoons inside the hall grouped together in twos and threes, chatting and laughing.

"Yo, I heard that your company is about to be listed on the Hong Kong stock market?"

A tycoon in a suit joked with a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a red Tang suit, bowing with a smile.

"Ah! It’s nothing special, just a small company, a minor venture, just playing around with going public!"

President Liu shook his head, his hand gently waving a Jade Fan.

"Tsk tsk! Playing around, but I heard your company is worth at least thirty billion, and the stock price is sure to rise, calling this playing around, then we really shouldn’t bother living!" Several tycoons flattered him.

Conversations like these were common inside the hall of the Wang Family.

After all, this is the Jingzhou circle, without a substantial net worth, one couldn’t even think about entering the main gates of the Wang Family today, those worth less than a hundred billion would probably just deliver a gift and leave, there was no place for them at the later banquet.

Although the Wang Family ranked at the bottom among the top ten families, they were not so easily reached by ordinary people!

While everyone in the hall was chatting, suddenly from just beside:

"The auspicious time has arrived, please welcome the newlyweds!"

The host, speaking in the Jingzhou dialect, stood at the entrance of the hall and announced.

As his voice fell, everyone wisely shut their mouths and eagerly watched the entrance of the hall.

The matriarch of the Wang Family, now ninety-eight years old, even older than the patriarch of the Wei Family, was supported by her family members and seated in the prime position of the hall with a dragon-headed cane.

As for the Wei Family, it was Wei Rufeng’s father who personally oversaw the event.

The old patriarch of the Wei Family did not make an appearance.

Wei Rufeng, dressed in a suit, poised, and standing tall, displayed the grandeur of a great family.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Ling’er, accompanied by her parents and dressed in splendid attire, made her entrance.

The young girl shone like the bright moon in the sky, her dazzling brilliance gentle and luxurious, provoking in no one any thoughts of desecration.

"Tsk tsk! Is this the Wang Family’s girl?"

"Beautiful! She is just too beautiful!"

The wealthy guests present couldn’t help but praise her.

Girls of Zhou Ling’er’s age looked on with envy, who wouldn’t want such a spectacle on their engagement day?

’What about Master Lin! Competing with me? It’s been over half a year since the Eight Public Mountain ribbon-cutting ceremony, and I haven’t heard from you. Are you hiding because you’re afraid of offending me?’

Wei Rufeng stood there, his eyes carrying a proud smile, the corners of his mouth slowly curving upwards.

From today onwards, the beauty before him belonged to Wei Rufeng!

"Great-grandmother!"

Zhou Ling’er walked up to the matriarch of the Wang Family and bowed.

"Good, good!"

The Wang Family’s old matriarch nodded in satisfaction and personally gifted a pair of jade bracelets, placing them on Zhou Ling’er’s wrists.

Although Wang Qing had been objectionable, having secretly married and escaped from the Wang Family twenty years ago, the old matriarch was particularly fond of Wang Qing’s daughter – well-read, polite, and in no way inferior to other major families’ direct granddaughters in either appearance or demeanor!

It is said that she had recently been admitted to Jingzhou University on her own merits!

Such a feat, even the daughters from those great families couldn’t match!

How many of them could enter Jingzhou University or Huaqing University based on their genuine talents?

"Uncle Wei."

Zhou Ling’er shifted her gaze and seriously greeted Wei Rufeng’s father.

"Hmm."

Wei Deyao, Wei Rufeng’s father, nodded slightly, evidently not very satisfied with Zhou Ling’er.

In his view, his son’s wife should at least be the direct granddaughter of one of the ten major families. However, Zhou Ling’er, albeit technically part of the Wang Family, came from far too humble a background.

For a massive entity like the Wei Family, the higher the status, the deeper the emphasis on family lineage, no less than the ancient Royal Family!

"I invite guests from both sides to congratulate the couple!" the host shouted.

"Nie Ziqiang, Chairman of Rich Prosperity Ventures Group, celebrates for the Wei Family, wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness and unity!" A middle-aged man was the first to stand up.

"Rich Prosperity Ventures Group, tsk tsk! When it first went public, no one was optimistic, thinking the group was doomed, but who knew it would pull off a miraculous turnaround? In just over five years, it transformed from a small group company worth several billion into a mega corporation with a market value of two hundred billion!" someone marveled.

A group of wealthy individuals also showed envious looks.

"Thank you, Mr. Nie." Wei Deyao said with a smile.

"The elder of the Hu Family from West River, celebrating for the Wei Family, wishes the couple an early union and a lifelong partnership!" An elderly man rose and stepped into the crowd.

"West River’s Hu Family? Sss! The richest family in West River!"

A wealthy individual exclaimed as he stood up.
