C1 Engagement Farce

"Qiuying, you are finally going to be my daughter-in-law!" Zhou Jieqiong sighed as she looked at Lee Qiuying, who had exquisite makeup and a dignified figure. The woman wore a long white dress that displayed her elegant temperament, and her every move was filled with the demeanor of a master.

After saying this, Zhou Jieqiong held Lee Qiuying's hand and led her to the hall.

Seeing the appearance of the heroine, everyone in the hall became silent.

It was unknown who laughed out loud and pretended to be surprised, "Whoa, looks like today's engagement banquet is a little difficult. Why don't we see the bridegroom?"

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Lee Qiuying's face, but she quickly recovered.

Hearing this, Zhou Jieqiong glared at that person, then laughed and said, "From today onwards, Qiu Ying is a member of my Hu Family. Bullying Qiu Ying is the same as bullying my Hu Family. Everyone should think twice before speaking."

The Hu Family was a famous family in A City, and very few people dared to offend them.

As soon as these words came out, the person who spoke just now seemed to be facing a great enemy and no longer dared to speak carelessly.

So what if the engagement banquet did not have a groom-to-be? With Zhou Jieqiong's words, unless they did not want to continue staying in A City, they would not dare to gossip.

With Zhou Jieqiong's mediation, Lee Qiuying's tense body finally relaxed a little, but in the next moment, she straightened her body again.

"Did you ask Lee Qiuying what she meant when you said that?" The handsome man in a blue and black suit suddenly asked.

His eyes were fixed on Lee Qiuying, and his eyes were filled with sadness.

"On the day of the engagement, the groom-to-be disappeared without a trace. I don't know if your Hu family ever considered Lee Qiuying's feelings or whether she was willing to marry..."

Before the man could continue, Lee Qiuying shouted in panic, "Gong Yi'en, shut up! You're drunk."

This was a wedding without a groom. Ten minutes before the wedding, the female lead found out that the male lead was drunk in the bar.

It was her once-in-a-lifetime wedding, but it had become the laughing stock of the entire city.

Gong Yi'en obediently shut his mouth, but his hands were clenched into fists and placed on his left and right sides. He looked at Lee Qiuying, who was standing on the stage. The two of them were only one step apart, but it was as if there were thousands of ditches between them.

"If you say you don't want to marry him, I'll take you away," Gong Yi'en said softly.

Although his voice wasn't loud, his words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in the ears of the guests.

Without waiting for Lee Qiuying's reply, Zhou Jieqiong anxiously looked around and shouted, "Security! Chase this drunkard out!"

After receiving the order, the security guards at the waiting area stepped forward, wanting to suppress Gong Yi'en and drag him out.

He didn't expect Gong Yi'en to single-handedly knock down the security guards one by one. Then, ignoring the gazes of the crowd, Gong Yi'en jumped onto the stage and arrived in front of Lee Qiuying.

He reached out to grab Lee Qiuying's hand, but Lee Qiuying suddenly flashed. Gong Yi'en looked at Lee Qiuying in disbelief.

"I love him!" Lee Qiuying said these three words word by word.

Gong Yi'en felt a sharp pain in his heart when he heard this. The next moment, he roared, "But he doesn't love you! He can't give you happiness!"

"Is that so?"

In the midst of the chaos, a low and lazy voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

They looked to the door and saw a man in a white suit with a mole in his right eye. He was a man, but he had a pair of peach blossom eyes.

After he appeared, all the female guests' eyes seemed to be glued to this man.

Jiang Qingcheng seemed to be annoyed by the gazes of the crowd. He impatiently loosened his tie and slowly walked towards the stage.

When they reached the stage, Jiang Qingcheng calmly grabbed Lee Qiuying's hand and looked at Gong Yi'en with a mocking gaze.

"Mr. Gong thinks I can't give her happiness, so you can do it for her?" Jiang Qingcheng's face was casual, but his voice was cold.

Lee Qiuying was stunned when she heard that. She subconsciously pulled Jiang Qingcheng's sleeve.

Jiang Qingcheng snorted coldly when she felt the movements of the people around her. Suddenly, she leaned over and brushed Lee Qiuying's lips like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. It was hard to tell if she really liked him or if she was just putting on a show.

Although it was only for a moment, the smell of tobacco made Lee Qiuying panic. She almost fell to the ground and had to grab the corner of Jiang Qingcheng's shirt.

Gong Yi'en's face turned pale, as if he had been greatly humiliated. In the end, he left in dejection.

Seeing that she had finally left, a trace of brutality flashed across Jiang Qingcheng's eyes. He ruthlessly shook off Lee Qiuying, who was tugging on the corner of his shirt.

"Lee Qiuying! Why are you so impatient?" Jiang Qingcheng asked.

When the guests below the stage saw this, they either lowered their heads or looked to the side. They did not dare to watch the Hu family's farce, but they could hear the noise. Many people were listening to the farce with a mocking attitude.

"Why are you so eager to find someone else?" Jiang Qingcheng suddenly approached Lee Qiuying and grabbed her chin with his big hand. He forced her to raise her chin and look into his eyes.

Being questioned by her fiancé in public like this, Lee Qiuying's shame and embarrassment made her want to lower her head to hide her emotions. No matter how forbearing Lee Qiuying was, her eyes were watery at this moment.

Unfortunately, Jiang Qingcheng's big hand held her back. She could only look at him.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk when we get back, okay?" Even though Jiang Qingcheng was in such a sorry state, Lee Qiuying could only bite her lower lip and beg in a low voice.

Jiang Qingcheng looked at Lee Qiuying and suddenly laughed. He let go of her hand in disdain and took a towel to wipe his hands. Then he casually threw the towel on the ground.

Instead of looking at Lee Qiuying, he announced to the guests with a cold expression, "My wife, Jiang Qingcheng, will only be Xia Shanshan for the rest of her life!"

"Bastard!" Zhou Jieqiong rushed forward and slapped Jiang Qingcheng in the face. This was the first time she had slapped Jiang Qingcheng.

Lee Qiuying walked forward with unsteady steps, wanting to dissuade him. But before she could say anything, she felt her vision blur and she actually fainted on the ground. The entire banquet was instantly thrown into chaos.

Zhou Jieqiong screamed and shouted for someone to take Lee Qiuying to the hospital. Facing Lee Qiuying's fainting, Jiang Qingcheng's eyes remained cold as he looked at the bloodless woman on the ground.

If it wasn't for her, how could Xia Shanshan...

This woman was truly hypocritical!

Jiang Qingcheng snorted and strode out of the hall.

Although the bridegroom-to-be appeared at the engagement banquet, it turned out to be a farce in the end. Lee Qiuying became the joke of A City as expected.

In the hospital.

When Lee Qiuying woke up, she found that there was no one in the ward.

While she was in a daze, someone suddenly handed her an apple. Lee Qiuying took the apple in a daze. Just as she was about to thank him, she was shocked by the person in front of her.

The apple rolled on the ground. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Xia Shanshan?"
