It was basically decided that we would go to the island together.
It's just that the timing is still uncertain.
Ye Wangchuan needs to make some further plans.
…
None of them expected that plans could not keep up with changes.
The next day.
Engagement banquet of the Cen and Li families.
There were quite a few guests coming to this kind of engagement party for an alliance, especially since the Cen family had a good relationship with the Ye family, so Mr. Ye was sure to come.
It also attracted many people who came for Ye Maoshan and Ye Lan.
In recent years, Ye Maoshan rarely appeared on these occasions, but Ye Lan would occasionally attend, but not often.
Many people who want to curry favor with the Ye family simply can't find a way.
It was not easy to meet the real person, but almost everyone who received invitation letters from the Cen and Li families came, and the hotel was packed.
Everywhere there were well-dressed people, everyone was holding wine glasses and socializing, trying to get to know each other.
Zhang Yang arrived early.
Mainly for Li De's sake, he came early to show support.
He has a wide network of contacts and knows everyone.
As soon as they entered, many people came up to him and greeted him. Zhang Yang has high emotional intelligence and is a smooth person. He gets along well with almost everyone, not too intimate, but not making people feel ignored.
As the protagonist of today, Li De was dragged to socialize for a while before he found Zhang Yang and a group of friends with a sad face.
"Hey. Isn't this our male lead? Congratulations." "Congratulations, congratulations, and may you have a happy marriage. I'm waiting to drink at your wedding!"
"Who would have thought that when we all got together for a drink not long ago, you said you wouldn't get married before you were 40, but you turned out to be the first one among us to get engaged."
As soon as Li De went there, he was laughed at by several people.
But everyone usually has a good time, and what seems like ridicule is more of a joke between good friends, with no malice involved.
"Go away, congratulations! If you want to get married, I'll give you the leading role."
Li De wore a custom-made suit today and his hair was styled with hairspray, revealing his young and regular facial features. He actually looked quite handsome.
But the expression on his face was too reluctant, and the word "forced" was almost carved on his forehead. Holding a cocktail in his hand, he leaned over like a bereaved mother: "In the end, it's still that princess' fault! I shouldn't have been so kind to give her those two tickets. If she hadn't caused our family to offend Mr. Wang, would I have sold myself to support my family?"
Li De became more and more sad as he spoke. He put down the goblet, reached out and grabbed a handful of hair, and quickly ruffled the loose hair on his forehead into a mess.
He let go with a look of despair on his face.
Looking at everyone, he cried, "I am a man reduced to...selling my body. I am so fucking miserable!"
“…” Zhang Yang and the others wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to do so. They were so embarrassed that their faces turned red and they almost looked like puffer fish.
However, families like theirs were no longer surprised by arranged marriages, and no one sympathized with Li De. After all, if Li De really didn't want to do this, he could just run away from the marriage.
Since Li De showed up at the engagement party today and cooperated, it means that he is willing to accept a marriage of convenience.
The wailing that Li De is performing now is just a few howls.
"By the way, Mr. Ye is coming?" Zhang Yang was more mature than these people. During a break in the fight, he patted Li De's shoulder and asked him.
Li De looked like he was not doing his job, but he was actually very perceptive. He immediately frowned and replied, "The Cen family invited Mr. Ye and said they would come. Their family has some friendship with Mr. Ye, so Mr. Ye should come."
"Yeah." Zhang Yang came here this time to show off his reputation in front of the older generation. He was very happy to hear that Ye Maoshan was coming.
