Chapter 73 The Escape from Marriage (2)
Shengya Island is located in a sea area southwest of Yancheng.
The scenery there is beautiful, making it a great tourist destination.
The engagement party was to be held in the grand hall located in the center of Saint-Ya Island.
The guests were almost all top-tier celebrities; it could be said that a large portion of Yancheng's elite circle had attended.
As Yanting's only close friend, Tan Yi naturally had to attend.
In the spacious and luxurious dressing room.
Looking at Yanting in her pure white wedding dress, Tan Yi praised, "Tingting, you are so beautiful."
Yanting sat on the sofa, while the stylist behind her did her hair.
She pursed her bright red lips, her cheeks flushed.
"Really?" Yan Ting's understanding of her own appearance had always been vague.
She knew she might be okay looking, but having been ostracized and suppressed since childhood, she wasn't particularly confident about her appearance.
"More real than diamonds." Tan Yi was never stingy with praise, especially when it came to Yan Ting, she praised her even more enthusiastically: "Baby, be confident, no one is more beautiful than you, you are the most beautiful today."
Yan Ting smiled slightly.
Her already beautiful and refined appearance became even more radiant and captivating with the embellishment of exquisite makeup.
Outside the auditorium is a soft, green lawn.
Someone had laid out a long, bright red silk carpet at the entrance of the auditorium beforehand.
The guests gradually took their seats in the hall.
There was one hour left before the engagement ceremony was to begin.
Those sitting here are people who have some interaction with each other in daily life.
The men chatted amongst themselves, discussing contracts, business, and collaborations.
The ladies boasted to each other about their husbands' success, their sons' excellent grades, and how pampered they were.
Just then, someone suddenly asked, "Why haven't we seen any members of the Yan family?"
"Yes! Why haven't we seen any members of the Yan family at such an important occasion?"
"Yanting isn't Yanshan's biological child, so it's normal for her not to come, right?"
"What do you mean 'normal'? This is a slap in the face to the Lu family." Even if the Yan family dislikes Yan Ting, they still have to give the Lu family some face.
After all, judging from the grand scene of this engagement banquet, it is clear that Yanting has a special feeling for Lu Huai.
Otherwise, why make such a grand engagement party?
"Yan Ting is really lucky. So what if she's not the real daughter of the Yan family? She still managed to make Lu Huai infatuated with her." The tone was ambiguous, whether it was sarcasm or mockery.
Lu Huai was a popular young talent in Yancheng's upper-class circles, and many noble ladies admired him, but he chose to marry Yan Ting, who had no background or support.
Yes, Yanting's current status is considered beneath him by many.
Without the Yan family as a background, the lonely Yan Ting was simply not worthy of Lu Huai.
Inside a five-star hotel.
"Brother Huai".
Looking at Lu Huai in his white suit, Yan Xun's expression was somewhat complicated. "Are you really going to marry Yan Ting?"
Lu Huai let his secretary, Wu Ling, adjust his tie and bow tie.
He gazed at the handsome man dressed in formal attire in the mirror, his deep, sculpted eyes revealing little emotion.
After a long pause, he turned to look at Yan Xun and said in a calm voice, "It's just an engagement."
Yan Xun pursed his lips.
He knew, of course, that this was just an engagement party.
But if Lu Huai really didn't care about Yan Ting at all, was it necessary to make such a grand engagement banquet?
Why not just hold a simple event?
Why waste so much energy and money?
It's worth noting that holding a wedding on Saintia Island would cost at least tens of millions.
According to his estimate, the engagement banquet held by Lu Huai must have cost at least one or two hundred million yuan.
"What about Sister Gu?" Yan Xun asked him, "Can you bear to see her sad?"
Lu Huai paused for a moment.
He glanced at Yan Xun, his voice deepening: "Yan Xun, if you're so free, you can find something to do instead of meddling in my personal relationships."
Yan Xun was startled.
"Sorry, Brother Huai, I just thought it was such a pity that things ended up between you and Sister Gu, so I asked a question earlier."
Lu Huai gave him a cold look.
"It won't happen again."
Yan Xun lowered his eyelids, concealing the complex and unreadable emotions in his eyes. "I understand."
He knew Lu Huai's temperament; if he continued to meddle, they might not even be able to remain brothers.
It's even possible that he wasn't considered a brother by Lu Huai.
His brother once said that it was difficult to get close to someone like Lu Huai, and the only thing he could do was to occupy the most important position in Lu Huai's circle.
Lu Huai didn't bother to look at Yan Xun again.
He lifted his sleeve and glanced at his watch. "It's almost time. We can go and get ready."
Wu Ling nodded: "Okay."
She followed Lu Huai out of the room.
The assistant stood guard at the door and, seeing Lu Huai come out, stepped forward and said, "Everything is ready. Apart from the Yan family, all the guests have arrived."
As Lu Huai walked, he asked, "What's going on with the Yan family?"
The assistant jogged to catch up, and said with a forced smile, "I heard that Miss Yan moved out of the Yan family a few days ago, it seems that she had a falling out with the Yan family."
Lu Huai frowned: "Why did things suddenly fall apart?"
"I heard that Yanshan's wife, Li Qian, felt that Miss Yan was bad luck for her, so she didn't want to see Miss Yan stay in the Yan family anymore."
The assistant cautiously glanced at Lu Huai's expression. "The Yan family seems to believe in metaphysics. Li Qian was in a car accident a few days ago, and she might blame it on Miss Yan."
“Metaphysics?” Lu Huai didn’t believe in this stuff. He scoffed, “Only ignorant people would believe in such things.”
Of course, this does not mean that he agrees with Yanting's decision to break ties with the Yan family.
Although the Yan family's momentum is not as strong as before, its foundation is still there, so it can't be too bad.
Yanshan is indeed cunning and ruthless, but in terms of strategy and skill, he is far inferior to his elder brother Yanxun.
Entrusting Yanjia Enterprise to him was a real loss.
A row of luxury cars was parked in front of the hotel.
Lu Huai sat in the first luxury car.
He said to his special assistant, "We'll discuss this matter with the Yan family after the engagement banquet."
The assistant nodded: "Okay."
Outside the auditorium, a flock of white doves danced gracefully like white sprites.
Accompanied by melodious and pleasant music—
The auditorium doors slowly opened to both sides.
The guests all turned their heads to watch the two people walking down the aisle.
The midday sun was very bright.
The main hall of the auditorium was magnificent and splendid.
Yan Ting stepped on the carpet, feeling as if she were walking on something soft and fluffy, a feeling that was somewhat unreal.
Lu Huai's expression was indifferent, revealing neither his joy nor his sorrow.
Under the guidance of the church's messenger, just as the couple was about to exchange engagement rings—
buzzing-
The phone suddenly vibrated.
In these situations, Yanting always hands her phone to Tan Yi for safekeeping.
This distance doesn't belong to her; it can only belong to Lu Huai.
Lu Huai paused.
His phone was still ringing incessantly in his pocket.
Yan Ting looked up.
Then she saw Lu Huai take out his phone, and the moment he saw the screen, he answered the call without the slightest hesitation.
He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Lu Huai's eyes suddenly turned gloomy.
"Wait here, I'll be right there."
Before Yan Ting could even react, she could only watch helplessly as Lu Huai ran out of the hall without looking back, without even saying goodbye to her.
At that moment, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
