Watching that sniveling Dongyin dwarf clap his hands with glee,
Qin Keren felt nauseated.
But she thought, her father was even more disgusting than him.
Tenfold, a hundredfold!
She moved forward woodenly.
There's nothing sadder than a dead heart.
"Miss…" Xiaoying wept ceaselessly upon witnessing the scene.
She had seen the ugly true colors of these Dongyin people.
Qin Keren's life after marriage would likely be a difficult one.
What's more, the other party was a fool…
Once, Xiaoying had greatly envied Qin Keren.
Envied that from the moment she was born, Qin Keren was born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
What she had received, what she owned, other women might not obtain even after striving for a lifetime.
And the Miss was also so beautiful.
Wherever she went, she was radiant.
Xiaoying thought, if she were half as beautiful as the Miss, or if she were half as rich, she'd probably wake from her dreams laughing.
But now…
She no longer felt that way.
Being born into a wealthy family might not be as good as she had imagined.
They were a group of people who put interests above all else.
For the sake of interests, even the lifelong happiness of their own daughter could be sacrificed.
Xiaoying actually felt somewhat relieved that she was just a servant.
"Let her go, from now on, she's no longer one of our family's people," Qin Keren looked indifferently at the two Dongyin people still holding onto Xiaoying.
"Miss…"
Xiaoying wasn't stupid; she knew why Qin Keren did this.
"Miss, I, I want to stay," Xiaoying said through gritted teeth.
"Get out!" But Qin Keren rebuked her directly.
A trace of grievance flashed across Xiaoying's face, and eventually, she walked out slowly.
"Miss is really pitiable…" Xiaoying looked back at Qin Keren from a distance and sighed, shaking her head.
Even Qin Keren herself couldn't resist, let alone a servant like her.
Next was the engagement banquet.
It was held in the villa.
This family seemed to have a lot of people, easily a hundred.
After all, it was the Young Master's engagement banquet.
Though he was a fool, the other party's status was there, so most people still gave face.
They even specially invited a highly influential person to officiate the wedding.
However, this was no longer important to Qin Keren.
"Next, please welcome the great Mr. Kurosagi to officiate our wedding," the host announced from the stage.
A figure slowly stood up from the crowd and walked towards the stage.
This was a young man, who looked to be just over twenty.
Initially, Qin Keren had become numb.
But when her gaze finally fell on the man walking towards the stage, her whole body trembled.
Qin Youwei's face also underwent drastic changes, disbelief in his eyes.
"Who, who is he?" Qin Youwei pointed at the young man walking to the stage, asking a Dongyin person beside him.
"I don't know, I only know his status seems very high, even Lady Sharo highly respects him," said the Dongyin person.
Qin Youwei swallowed hard, no, it couldn't be him!
It must just be a resemblance.
Qin Keren was also stunned.
Is it him?
The young man walked slowly, his gaze carrying an inscrutable smile.
He made his way straight towards the stage, and when passing by Qin Youwei, he whispered, "Uncle, we meet again."
Originally, Qin Youwei and Qin Keren both thought that the man in front of them couldn't possibly be Su Chen.
But after Su Chen finished speaking, they were sure.
This person was Su Chen!
But how did Su Chen become the officiant?
Moreover, it seemed that in these Dongyin people, his status was not low.
Indeed, this young man was Su Chen.
The family Qin Keren was to marry into was the Nishijiu Family.
Qin Youwei had always thought that the heir to the Nishijiu Family was No Watanabe.
But who could have known, he had been deceived, that Qin Keren was to marry a fool from the Nishijiu Family.
Su Chen slowly arrived on stage.
"I solemnly introduce to everyone, this is Mr. Kurosagi, the Honorary Elder of the Nishijiu Family," the host introduced.
Honorary Elder was actually a nominal position.
Without any real power, but the status was particularly honorable.
Besides the Clan Leader, there was basically no one with a higher status than him.
Qin Youwei was dumbfounded.
In his dreams, he wouldn't have imagined that a boy he deemed insignificant would turn into the Nishijiu Family's Honorary Elder in a blink of an eye.
"I declare, the engagement ceremony begins now..."
"According to our Dongyin customs, the officiant can impose three conditions on the bride's side, which must be unconditionally met. Only after meeting the three conditions set by Mr. Kurosagi, can the blessing of Mr. Kurosagi be possibly received."
The host negotiated with Su Chen for over a minute and turned to say to Qin Youwei: "Mr. Kurosagi's first condition is that after the bride enters the Nishijiu Family, she becomes a member of the Nishijiu Family and will have no further ties with the Qin Family, Mr. Qin, do you agree to this?"
Qin Youwei's face turned somewhat ugly.
Did this not amount to severing his father-daughter relationship with Qin Keren?
However, Qin Keren had already said she wanted to sever ties with him before.
Since everything had reached this point and there was no turning back, preserving his business was the priority, Qin Youwei gritted his teeth and said, "I agree…"
"The second condition…"
Hearing the second condition, Qin Youwei's expression grew even uglier.
The other side demanded a dowry of one billion.
Though extremely reluctant, Qin Youwei eventually nodded in agreement.
As long as he could cooperate with the Nishijiu Family, earning back a billion was just a matter of time.
Seeing Qin Youwei agreeing to both conditions, Su Chen's mouth curled into a smile.
"The third condition…"
"Don't be too bullying!" When Qin Youwei heard the third condition announced by the host, he finally lost his composure.
It was obvious, Su Chen was seeking vengeance against him.
The third condition was for Qin Youwei to serve tea to him.
And to serve it kneeling!
Qin Youwei, no matter what, was a prominent figure in Jiangdu City.
He could tolerate everything else, but Su Chen's last condition was too excessive.
Su Chen looked at Qin Youwei with an amused gaze and said slowly, "Do I look like a bully? And what if I am?"
