Harry Osborn chose his own Osborn Manor for the engagement ceremony. After all, it was not a wedding and there was no need to choose a very serious place like a church or an auditorium.
Moreover, if they were to get engaged in a public church or auditorium, it would definitely attract a lot of unnecessary paparazzi. At least for now, Harry Osborn did not want his engagement with Mary to be publicized. At present, he had only made an announcement to his friends and family. Those invited to the ceremony were all relatives and friends.
It was for Mary's sake. For if Mary was to become Mrs Osborne, she would have to make many changes in her life.
It was not easy to be the wife of a rich man, especially the wife of Harry Osborne. The various companies and industries under the Osborne Group controlled by Harry were worth hundreds of billions.
And this does not include Wall Street's premium on Osborne Group's financial valuation. If the premium is included, the Osborne Group's value can easily exceed one trillion dollars.
As the helmsman of such a super group, Harry's every word and action would attract the attention of many people. At the same time, his partner would also receive the same amount of exposure.
For some paparazzi, digging up the stories of the family members behind the top tycoons was far more attractive than directly reporting on the tycoons themselves.
Mary had to be aware of this ever since she started dating Harry. Especially after she agreed to become Harry's wife.
She needed to make a big, big change in her lifestyle. She is a rising star on Broadway. She had previously starred in the musicals Wicked Witch, Les Misérables and Chicago, which were well received on Broadway. Many professional evaluators regarded her as the most promising musical actress of the 21st century.
Now, she was going to star in the classic "The Phantom of the Opera" with the troupe. After only three performances, the show had already caused a sensation among Broadway musical lovers.
Mary Jane's singing was amazing, and her performance on the stage was very natural. This gave her a huge fan base.
Watch a play on the stage before movies were invented. In particular, watching Broadway plays was a major form of entertainment for the upper class of New York and even the United States.
Back then, the star power of Broadway was comparable to that of today's Hollywood kings. After the invention of movies, especially in the 1960s, when film technology began to rapidly improve, Broadway began to decline.
Compared to stage plays, many people preferred movies with fast paced and varied scenes. This made many people in the industry consider whether there was really a need for theaters and stages to exist.
But the human aesthetic is very strange, when people have had enough of the visual bombardment in front of the big screen, and the deafening sound effects. In the New Era, people began to recall the love and hate that had been played out on the stage.
Although stage plays and musicals had their own limitations, they also had their own unique charm. Because it was all a live performance, it required the actors to have profound acting skills. In front of thousands of spectators, it would be very embarrassing if they forgot their lines.
In addition, performing in a musical required her to show off her voice and singing skills on the spot, which made it even more difficult. Stage plays and musicals require actors and actresses to perform to make the audience forget about the shabby scenery.
Once again, people discovered the charm of live performance, which was completely different from movies. So more and more people began to return to the theater and sit in the audience to watch these classic plays carefully.
But just like all the stars under the spotlight, the stars of stage plays were also stars. The saying that people who are popular have a lot of trouble is not a joke.
In this era of entertainment to death, the paparazzi could make up a flower about a little bullshit. Especially in the love affair between men and women, this was the favorite of entertainment tabloids.
Mary Jane was in such a world, and naturally understood the rules. Although she had always been clean. But she couldn't stand people throwing dirty water on her. If she was Harry's girlfriend, this kind of thing was fine.
But if she became Mrs. Osborne and such things still happened, what would happen to Harry's face? Because girlfriend and wife were very different roles in life.
From the moment she decided to become Harry's wife, Mary Jane began to think about her role as a wife. Since she was going to change her surname to Osborne, Mary would not allow her husband to be slandered and ridiculed by anyone else, especially because of her.
So after this year's tour of "The Phantom of the Opera," Mary Jane would officially announce her retirement from the circle.
Harry knew how much Mary liked to perform on stage. Some people were born to perform, such as Mary Jane. So Harry felt a little guilty about Mary.
"You don't have to be so cruel, Mary. If you still like to perform, you can continue. "Harry held Mary's hand and said," I have many ways to shut those paparazzi up. "
Mary smiled at Harry. "You can shut them up in front of you, but you can't shut them up behind your back. Since I want to be your wife, I naturally won't allow my husband to be an existence that is ridiculed. "
"Marrying a wife with the nature of the entertainment industry, you will face much more pressure than me in the future. I can't be too selfish, can I? Life is about sharing responsibilities. I can't be too capricious. "Mary leaned her head on Harry's shoulder and said softly.
"Well, but what if I buy a troupe in the future and let you be the leader?" Harry said as he hugged Mary.
"That's not bad." Mary chuckled softly. The two of them looked at each other. Nothing needed to be said. In this romantic atmosphere, when the two were about to have a deep kiss, suddenly the quarrel from the dressing room next door woke them up.
Li Jie and Peter were preparing in the dressing room next door. As two of Harry's best friends, it was only natural that they would attend the engagement ceremony. And they also had a more important responsibility.
One of them was to propose to Harry. (This was the ceremony. Harry had proposed before.) Then they would give the ring to Harry. Both of them wanted this position very much because it was a once in a lifetime opportunity!
However, only one person could give the ring, but there were two people here. Harry didn't know who to assign it to. Therefore, he left the decision of this matter to the two of them to decide for themselves.
"I think it's more appropriate for me to give the ring," Li Jie said as he looked at the pair of wedding rings on the table.
"Why? I've known Harry much earlier than you. I've known him since elementary school. It's been more than ten years! "Peter disagreed with Li Jie.
"But you were recently dumped by Gwen. As someone who represents the failure of a relationship, don't you think it's strange to give a blessing to a newlywed couple? "Li Jie deeply understood the principle of hitting people in the face and pointing out their shortcomings when scolding them.
Li Jie's words made Peter explode on the spot. He shouted loudly, "Hey! Do you want to fight? Besides, I'll find a way to woo Gwen back. "
Li Jie looked at the sky and said lightly, "I heard that there are a lot of handsome guys in London University. And Gwen has always liked British looks. She broke up with you, and you've been separated for tens of thousands of kilometers. You won't see each other for at least a year. "
Li Jie whistled. "Phew, do you think she'll bring her boyfriend back to the United States to meet George? So, I'll give the ring to her. "
Peter was not convinced. "She dated a superhero, Spider-man! I don't believe any other man can charm her! "
"Oh, oh! Yes, yes! " Li Jie's face was full of disbelief. "If a certain Spider-man wasn't confused by a cat."
Peter pursed his lips. "What happened to Black Cat?"
Li Jie glanced at Peter. "You still care about her?"
"I just want to know how she's doing. Last time, you carried out an operation to arrest Black Cat, but you didn't let me participate. I'm just curious about which prison you sent her to. "Peter promised that he was not obsessed with Black Cat.
"She was taken away by Frank." Li Jie shrugged. "As for whether Frank wants to execute her or send her somewhere else, I don't know. He wants us not to ask. "
Well, Frank took her away. That would probably be worse than being locked up in prison. Peter no longer wanted to guess what happened to Black Cat.
Due to their earlier argument, Harry had to come over and check on them. After knowing the reason for their argument, he rubbed his forehead helplessly. "Enough, guys! Hurry up and get rid of it! The ceremony is about to begin. If it doesn't work out, you can use scissors, stone and cloth to decide! "
In the end, they listened to Harry's suggestion and used the most traditional method of deciding, scissors, stone and cloth.
However, Li Jie had forgotten in a moment of carelessness that Peter had the Spider Sense. He did not need to cheat. His strong sixth sense was enough to guess what would happen.
"Damn it. You should go to Atlantic City to gamble. I can guarantee that you can bankrupt the casino owner. "Li Jie handed the wedding ring to Peter.
"Maybe we can give it a try next time." Peter took the wedding ring and said with a joyful expression.
"By the way, I need to talk to Harry about something else," said Li Jie as he handed the ring to Peter.
Peter asked, "What is it? Today is his engagement day. Don't bother him with other things. "
"It's not anything else. I was just thinking. If he and Mary have a child, do they need a godfather? I think I am an excellent educator and elder. I can take on this position. "Li Jie walked out of the dressing room and prepared to find Harry.
Peter followed him. "Godfather? Come on! You are not even a member. If the child needs a godfather, it should be me. Peter Parker! I learned a lot about how to raise a child from Uncle Ben and Aunt May. "
"People who have been dumped by their girlfriends have no right to say these things." Li Jie ignored Peter.
"I will be angry if you continue!" Peter followed Li Jie all the way.
… …
On the lawn of the Osborn Manor, Harry and Mary's engagement ceremony was officially held. When Harry knelt on one knee and stared at Mary and said, "Marry me," Mary nodded and said, "I do."
Peter immediately ran up and placed the ring next to Harry's hand.
In addition to Harry's relatives and friends, Lan, who had been living in Li Jie's new home, was also invited to watch the engagement ceremony.
Today, she wore a yellow dress and a black crystal necklace. This was what Li Jie had asked her to bring before she came. Her white skin formed a strong contrast with the black crystal necklace, making her look very beautiful.
She stood beside Li Jie and applauded Harry and Mary. She tilted her head and asked Li Jie softly, "I heard that you and Peter just quarreled inside? Why? "
Li Jie replied as he applauded, "Did you forget who was sitting next to me the last time we watched a movie and kept talking? I didn't even know what the movie was about."
Lan knew which time Li Jie was talking about. "You mean the movie 'A Dog's Mission'?"
"Yes." Li Jie nodded. "I don't know what 'A Dog's Mission' is about, but I know who the dog is."
Lan almost laughed out loud at Li Jie's words. "Speaking of dogs, you seem to think of Thor as a swollen Alaskan?"
"Yes, so it's a salted fish. Ever since he put on weight, he's a swollen Alaskan. "Li Jie nodded." I've been busy recently, so I didn't notice him. He seems to be working hard recently? "
Lan nodded. "Yes, and not very hard, but very hard."
