Chapter 232 - 232: I Arranged For It to Be Played
However, the uneasiness in her heart quickly dissipated as her friends in the industry arrived one after another. Usually, they would compete with each other. At such a critical moment, who would not want to listen to other people’s flattery? Who would not want to see other people’s envious gazes?
The millions of dollars worth of jewelry on Mother Zhou’s body was already in the limelight.
As the number of guests increased, the banquet hall became more and more lively.
At this moment, two figures appeared on the second floor of the spiral staircase.
The entrance to the stairs was sealed with flowers, and Lin Wanli and Ye
Zhenzhen entered through the staff passage, the best spot to watch the show.
“Why did ask me to come watch this?” Ye Zhenzhen did not understand because she did not know about Xiao Qinke’s story. She only knew that today was the big day for Zhou Tingyang and the rich Little Miss.
“Since we have nothing to do, why not we come and watch this good show to kill time.” Lin Wanli hinted.
Ye Zhenzhen leaned against the fence and observed Lin Wanli. She then looked away and asked, “1 know you’ve never liked Zhou Tingyang. Have you never had feelings for anyone? I’m just curious.”
She was curious about what kind of man Lin Wanli would like.
“I like people who are ruthless, rich, and can take care of me.”
Ye Zhenzhen could not imagine Lin Wanli’s type, nor could she compare it to the rich men in Jinchuan. She thought that Lin Wanli was just teasing her.
However, she did not dare to imagine that there was someone who could fulfill all of Lin Wanli’s requirements.
Soon, all the guests had arrived, and it was almost time.
The hotel announced in advance that the engagement ceremony would begin in ten minutes, but at this time, the bride-to-be and the bride’s parents had yet to be seen.
Zhou Tingyang quickly called Xiao Qinke. He lowered his voice and was a little angry. Could the makeup time not be shortened for such an important occasion? They were not even getting married, it was just an engagement. Did she need to waste an entire morning to dress up?
“Coming, coming, coming soon.”
“Where are your parents? Why haven’t they arrived yet? All the guests are asking and discussing behind our backs, saying that we’re too insensible.” “My parents are coming with me.” Xiao Qinke replied.
“Alright then, hurry up. The ceremony is about to start, but the bride-to-be is still missing. This is too ridiculous.” Zhou Tingyang felt embarrassed.
Even though all of his face today was given by Xiao Qinke.
However, he never felt that way because he felt that it was only natural for Xiao Qinke to do so.
“How is it? Are they coming down?” Zhou Tingyang’s mother turned around and asked Zhou Tingyang while chatting with the guests. ‘Why don’t you go up and urge them?”
“I don’t know where the dressing room is. Besides, it’s too late.” Zhou Tingyang said, “She said she’s coming down soon. She should be able to make it to the ceremony.”
“What’s wrong with the Xiao Family? It’s such an important day, but they treat it as casual as buying vegetables at the market. They don’t have any sincerity at all…”
“Alright, Mom, stop complaining. I’m tired of hearing it.”
Both mother and son were unhappy because Xiao Qinke took too long to put on her makeup and her parents refused to show up.
Just like that. another few minutes Dassed. Just as the engagement ceremonv was about to begin, the emcee informed the groom to go on stage. It seemed that he wanted to buy some time for the bride-to-be.
Zhou Tingyang had no choice but to walk up the stage under the gaze of the guests.
“Look at how anxious our groom is. He must be a little impatient from waiting for the beautiful bride. However, our bride is preparing a huge surprise for everyone, so let’s get our groom to perform for us first, okay?” “I didn’t prepare anything.” Zhou Tingyang said bluntly.
“Our groom is a famous young talent in Jinchuan. How can such a thing be difficult for you? Otherwise, if you share some interesting things between you and the bride, I’ll let you pass.”
Was there anything interesting between them?
Zhou Tingyang’s mind was blank, and he could not remember anything.
However, all the memories he had with Ye Zhenzhen came back to him.
Seeing that he could not answer for a long time, the emcee quickly tried to smooth things over. “It’s okay. Your university roommates have also prepared an engagement gift for you. Now, let’s invite our staff to play this gift.”
At that moment, the big screen behind them lit up.
Everyone thought that this was just an ordinary congratulatory video. They did not expect that the scene that appeared on the screen had nothing to do with blessings. Because the video appeared in the student dormitory.
At that time, Zhou Tingyang looked young and inexperienced. He leaned against the bookshelf and looked at another boy. “Aren’t you in need of money? I have a way to solve your urgent problem. Go search for some weight-loss pills and sell them to Xiao Qinke. Also, hint to her what kind of girl I like. She will definitely buy them. ”
“Isn’t this a little inappropriate? Tingyang, I know you hate Xiao Qinke, but isn’t this a little too much?” The boy sitting down was obviously worried.
“Aren’t you the one who lacks money? How about this? I can add another bet.
As long as she buys it, I’ll pay you another 500 dollars.”
“You said that. The two of you better record it.” The boy pointed at another roommate who was recording a video.
“I recorded it for you from the beginning.”
“You’re a man, can’t you be more broad-minded? Xiao Qin is indeed fat, but it’s not wrong for her to like you. You’re thinking of all kinds of ways to bully her. I can’t bear to do that.”
“Hahaha, that’s enough. You pity a fatty.”
The video ended abruptly amidst their laughter.
No one understood, including Zhou Tingyang himself. Why would someone play a video from a few years ago at his engagement party with Xiao Qinke?
The audience thought that this video would be the end. They did not expect to receive another piece of news from a few years ago.
The news showed a tragic car accident on the highway. It happened on the highway from A City to Jinchuan. Moreover, the car accident almost killed everyone on the spot.
After that, a clip of a funeral started.
The video played strangely. Other than the first part, which was closely related to Zhou Tingyang, the other two parts seemed to be completely unrelated.
Zhou Tingyang looked at the emcee in confusion. “Isn’t it too much to show a video of a funeral at our engagement ceremony?”
“Mr. Zhou, we don’t know either. Your friend asked us to broadcast it.” The emcee hurriedly explained.
“They’re playing a prank. Can’t you check? Was there a mistake? This is my engagement party. Are you kidding me?”
“Mr. Zhou, please…”
“I arranged for it to be played.” At this moment, a loud voice sounded at the entrance of the banquet hall.
At this moment, all the guests turned their eyes to the entrance of the banquet hall. Immediately after, the bride-to-be who was supposed to be dressed up in her best attire did not appear. Only Xiao Qinke, who was dressed in black mourning clothes, with white flowers on her chest and head, and holding her parents’ photo in both hands, appeared in front of everyone….
