Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Until this day.
Squeak~
The parking lot of Junlin Wine Mansion was filled with luxury cars, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maybachs, Rolls-Royces, and more.
Every car of note was present. Junlin Wine Mansion had closed its doors to all customers today, as it was their boss's engagement day.
No one knew how many influential figures from Tianhai had gathered on the third floor of Junlin Wine Mansion.
Apart from the annihilated Jiang family, the other three major families, the Xia, Qin, and Wei families, had their leaders present. All first-tier families were also in attendance, not to mention countless second-tier families.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the gifts alone from the various prominent families amounted to tens of millions.
As for why?
It was simple. Through various channels, they had all learned about the protagonist of today's engagement, Ye Xuan... He was already the undisputed king of Tianhai.
His status as the behind-the-scenes owner of Wanhao Group alone was enough.
Ye Pengfei and Chen Xiaowan were extremely happy, beaming from ear to ear. However, Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei, standing nearby, were repeatedly overwhelmed with shock.
Good heavens, three top families, all first-tier families, and numerous second-tier families, with their leaders personally attending and warmly greeting them and their in-laws. It felt like a dream to Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei.
"Old man, could it be... that the Chen family from the capital was really destroyed by Ye Xuan?"
"Hush~"
As soon as Su Dongmei finished speaking, Luo Mingtian shot her a fierce look. "Shut up! Are you crazy!"
Luo Mingtian's heart almost leaped out of his chest. Hearing the warning, Su Dongmei was also drenched in a cold sweat. She nervously glanced around, and seeing that no one had heard her words, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If that ruthless son-in-law knew what she had said, being flayed alive would be a light punishment.
Soon, all the guests arrived.
Ye Xiaowen, dressed in a pink evening gown and high heels, gracefully entered the venue. "Good evening, distinguished guests."
"I am the cousin of today's protagonist, Ye Xuan, and I will be your host."
As Ye Xiaowen stepped onto the stage, Lu Tong and Zhang Zitian's eyes widened.
"My, this is... Boss's cousin!"
"Damn, she's definitely campus belle material. The genes in Boss's family are strong enough!"
The two marvelled, their eyes fixed on Ye Xiaowen. "Damn it, if I could marry a woman like this, I'd consider my life well spent."
It wasn't just Lu Tong and Zhang Zitian. The leaders of other prominent families, including the Xia, Qin, and Wei families, had their eyes gleaming. Ye Shao's cousin was chosen to be the host, which indicated a close relationship with Ye Shao. If a young man from their family could become her partner, it would undoubtedly mean their family would be closely associated with Ye Shao.
"Next, my cousin will sing a song for the bride prepared for today's engagement. Please welcome my cousin, the groom, to sing 'A Smile Can Topple Cities'!"
Clap clap clap clap clap~
As soon as Ye Xiaowen's voice fell, thunderous applause erupted in the hall, even from the leaders of many families. Although they didn't know how good Ye Shao's song would be, as long as it was related to Ye Shao, the quality of the singing didn't matter; applause was the right response.
At this moment, the family leaders resembled enthusiastic fans.
Meanwhile, the gazes of many young women turned towards a certain girl, who was the focus of the event today, the bride, Luo Tianyi.
"That guy..."
Luo Tianyi felt the collective gaze upon her, and a blush rose to her cheeks, but more than that, she felt a rush of sweetness and happiness.
"I always tell you my wishes in a lighthearted way"
"And give you glances that words can't fully express"
"There are always people in this world busy searching for treasures"
"But miss the splendid sun of the world and overlook the wonders of humanity"
"In the ancient city, on the long bridge"
"People like a sea, cars like a stream"
"Your smile is like a beacon of light"
..........
His magnetic voice, the pure white custom-made suit, and the white leather shoes further enhanced Ye Xuan's already impossibly handsome face.
That kind of handsomeness, honestly, was beyond words, as no amount of language could describe even a tenth of its charm.
Especially the incredibly sweet singing, which made people's lips curve upwards, as if every note possessed some kind of magic, bringing a feeling of immense comfort and ease.
"My heavens, it's so sweet..."
Luo Tianyi looked at her man on stage, bathed in the spotlight. Although they had slept in each other's arms for countless nights, her heart still beat wildly, as if it would leap out of her chest.
That's right!
This was the taste of that damned, beautiful love!
And here, it was perfectly interpreted by her man. At this moment, Luo Tianyi had no doubt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Even just an engagement banquet like this was more than enough, considering their current situation. But to ensure she had no regrets, that guy had still held a grand engagement ceremony for her.
Truly, at this moment, she... really, really loved that guy, the man who doted on her so incredibly much!
She must have done so many good deeds in her past life, otherwise, how could she, Luo Tianyi, have met such an excellent, capable, and handsome man in this life.
"My, this brat has a sweet tongue, tsk tsk~"
"He's worthy of being my son!"
Chen Xiaowan smacked her lips, sighing emotionally, and then looked at Ye Pengfei, who was in a daze beside her. "See? Our son is at least ten times better than you, no, twenty times better!"
Ye Pengfei, "........"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
A dark line formed on Ye Pengfei's forehead. He glanced at his son on stage. "Damn it, how could it be only twenty times? I feel it's at least thirty times more."
"Tch~"
"As if I've lost anything by saying that."
Chen Xiaowan snorted, showing no regard for Ye Pengfei's feelings, and gave him a glare before ceasing her remarks.
Lu Tong and Zhang Zitian, the two single dogs, listened to their boss and his wife showering affection. "Does our boss really... not consider our feelings at all when he's showing off like this? My heart aches, this affection is so hard to swallow, it's too sweet."
On a corner of the stage, Ye Xiaowen looked at her cousin who was stealing the spotlight and grumbled in her heart, "Damn it, if this kid weren't my cousin, I would have made my move long ago, and he wouldn't have been left for my cousin-in-law."
"Alas, wrong timing~~~"
