Su Yu wasnât the only one who thought that; so did everyone else in the ballroomâŠ
Huo Mian, on the other hand, thought it was interestingâŠ
Like her, Jiang Xiaowei was a weird and unique woman who never followed common sense.
However, because of the way she was, her life was constantly filled with surprises.
âWhat is our daughter trying to do?â Jiang Xiaoweiâs parents were speechless.
Du Jiananâs parents were as embarrassed as could beâŠ
Their future daughter-in-law was picking another fiancée and getting engaged on the spot, was that a good idea?
The people below talked amongst themselvesâŠ
There were quite a few eligible bachelors in the room, and Jiang Xiaowei was a catch.
However, no one went up to the stage; one, they didnât want to become the center of attention. Two, it didnât seem like a reliable deal.
It would suck if they ended up pissing off the Du familyâŠ
âAsk your daughter to come down, itâs embarrassing,â Mrs. Du said.
âEmbarrassing? Is it as embarrassing as what your son did? He ran away with that secretary of his, donât think we didnât know about it. We were willing to let it go since they werenât married yet⊠but I canât believe he would do something like this on the day of their engagement party and leave my daughter to clean up his mess. If you guys donât want to save face, then why should we? I support my daughter, if she finds someone better than your son, then weâre more than willing.â
What Mrs. Jiang said greatly embarrassed the Du FamilyâŠ.
Three minutes passed, but no one went up to the stageâŠ
Jiang Xiaowei was starting to look awkwardâŠ
Huo Mian looked at Su Yu and Wei Liao. âDonât you guys want to go up?â
âWhy should I? Iâm not the one who likes her.â Su Yu calmly sipped on his blueberry juice.
Wei Liao, on the other hand, seemed to be strugglingâŠ
Ever since he was a young boy, he had always calculated each step he took and never acted rashlyâŠ
He really liked Jiang Xiaowei, butâŠ
He still had a lot to worry aboutâŠ
Huo Mian said faintly, âIn love, all encounters on this earth are accidental, but all goodbyes are planned out⊠I know that youâre someone who likes to plan things out, but love isnât something that can be planned, because you never know when itâll knock on your door and when itâll leave. Life is filled with surprises because of all these uncertain factors⊠I donât know if I guessed right, but I think you like Xiaowei⊠and I think Xiaowei likes you too⊠If thatâs the case, then why not? If you save her from this crisis, she might one day save you on the battlefield.â
It was an era of peace, so there werenât any literal battlefieldsâŠ
Huo Mian was talking about the metaphorical battlefield that was Wei Liaoâs past relationshipsâŠ
He had never met anyone he truly loved, but maybe Xiaowei was the oneâŠ
Huo Mianâs words touched the bottom of Su Yuâs heartâŠ
Then, she elbowed Wei Liao. âGo on, itâs now or never.â
Finally, Wei Liao bit down on his teeth, sorted out his suit, and walked towards the stageâŠ
His white suit matched Xiaoweiâs white cocktail dress perfectly. Was it fate?
After Wei Liao got onto the stage, Su Yu looked at Huo Mian. âYou sure are chatty when it comes to other peopleâs relationships, but why are you such an idiot when it comes to your own?â
âHow am I an idiot?â Huo Mian glared at Su Yu.
Su Yu fell silent for a few seconds and swallowed the words he originally wanted to say.
Instead, he changed the topic, âIs it okay for us to push Young Master Wei Like this?â
âWe didnât push them⊠they like each other, okay?â Huo Mian was almost certain that with Jiang Xiaoweiâs IQ, she would never openly pick a stranger to be her fiancĂ©e.
She only did this because she wanted Wei Liao to come up to the stageâŠ
Things were going a little fast between them, but at this time and year, anything was possibleâŠ
When Wei Liao got onto the stage, Jiang Xiaoweiâs hanging heart finally fell back into placeâŠ
In the end, he didnât disappoint herâŠ
The guests all went wild upon seeing Wei Liao walk up to the stageâŠ
âIsnât that the second son of the Wei Family? Heâs pretty good looking.â
âYeah, is he getting engaged to Jiang Xiaowei? But the Wei Family doesnât know about it yet, do they?â
The crowd went crazyâŠ
Wei Liao walked slowly up to Jiang Xiaowei, and held her hand in his, in front of all the guests.
