The CEOs did not stand on ceremony when they heard this. They each found a good seat and sat down. They chatted with each other and made some business friends.
After the CEOs finished their birthday greetings, Ye Hongliang brought his children forward. Old Master Ye looked at them, but his expression did not change. Then, he looked at Family Lei and Family Lei's son who were not far away. He said to his eldest sister, Ye Wan, in a sincere and heartfelt manner.
"Ye Wan, I've arranged a good marriage for you. You should have heard from your cousin. This marriage is very suitable for both families. Moreover, it will bring unimaginable benefits to both our Family Ye and Family Lei. You should understand."
After he finished speaking, he stood up with the help of his yellow wooden cane and waved at Family Lei's son. Young Master Lei immediately came forward. Old Master Ye continued speaking.
"Nephew Lei can be said to be a dragon among men. He is talented and elegant. Moreover, he returned from overseas and has done many businesses on his own. Now, he has three companies under his name with a market value of tens of millions. He is upright, elegant, and gentlemanly. You will definitely enjoy life if you marry him."
"Nephew Lei, this is our Family Ye's eldest daughter, Ye Wan. She is the current vice president of Southeast Securities. She is full of poetry and has an air of elegance. She is devastatingly beautiful and is cultured and refined. If you marry Ye Wan, you will be well-matched in terms of social status. She is very suitable."
Family Lei's father sat next to him, also leaning on his cane. His face was expressionless. Due to his age, wrinkles had appeared in layers and were covered in spots.
He looked at Ye Wan and did not pay much attention. After all, both families knew that this was just a marriage alliance. To put it nicely, it was called a marriage alliance. To put it bluntly, it was using the marriage of two juniors as a bargaining chip to build a foundation of trust for business cooperation between the two families.
Therefore, he only took a few glances and said,
"Yes, they are indeed well-matched in terms of social status. With Ye Wan and my Family Lei's grandson as a couple, it is indeed not a bad idea. Here, I wish the two of you a long and happy life together."
Grow old together and be of one heart forever. These words were probably meant for the Old Master of the Family Ye. In other words, they meant to let the business continue without any problems.
Ye Xuan also knew that after the marriage, there would be many benefits to the main family. In terms of business, status, as well as various connections, and so on. Moreover, just by sacrificing a branch family member, they would be able to obtain so many benefits.
However, Ye Wan's expression did not change at all when he heard the two old men's words. He lowered his head calmly and said without hesitation,
"I'm sorry, I refuse."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Everyone was stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment.
The noise in the banquet hall immediately disappeared, and the air suddenly became quiet. Everyone was silent as they stared blankly at Ye Wan.
Only after a long while did they come back to their senses.
"Eh, no, why did he refuse?"
"I think this marriage is quite good. What is this collateral relative thinking? Marrying Family Lei, the two families are connected by marriage. There are many benefits that come with it. "
"He refused in front of so many people, especially the birthday girl and Family Lei's grandfather. This is too impolite. No wonder he took a taxi here."
"Indeed, he really has no manners. Seriously, he actually refused such a good marriage alliance."
"I don't know what he is thinking. If he gave it to someone else, they would be overjoyed. This fool actually refused. What a pity."
"Moreover, I heard that the marriage was already set. He actually rejected it now. Isn't he looking down on others?"
"Indeed, I heard from the main Family Ye that the marriage was already set. However, looking at the collateral relatives, there might have been some problems in the middle. Who knows?"
While everyone was discussing, the Family Ye's grandfather was also embarrassed. It was really embarrassing to be rejected in front of so many people by his own family's juniors.
Behind him, the main family's people also showed displeasure on their faces. They reprimanded gloomily.
"Family Ye lass, what's wrong with you? You already agreed on the marriage and now you want to reject it? Even if you are willful, you can't be so willful. "
"Are you not giving us any face at such an important occasion?"
"Why are you so insensible? You feel wronged to marry Young Master Lei, don't you think?"
"That's right. Young Master Lei has such good conditions. Do you know how many people are fighting to propose marriage to him outside? They have already trampled over the threshold. You really don't know what's good for you. "
"Moreover, you were born as a member of the Family Ye. Why don't you think about your family at all? Given the current situation, the best choice for our Ye Family and the Lei Family is to form an alliance through marriage. You're already an adult, yet you're still so insensible. Don't you know how to think for your family? "
"That's simply nonsense! Everyone in the family is thinking of a good place for you. You really don't know what's good for you! "
Hearing the main family's words of 'for your own good', the sisters were furious. Ye Chan was so angry that smoke was coming out of her. She couldn't suppress her anger and shouted angrily.
"Why don't you ask your main family's people to marry him? Ask us? Usually, you don't give us any benefits at all. You don't remember us when there are benefits. Now that you want to find benefits for all of you, you think of us. Sacrificing Big Sister's happiness in exchange for benefits for all of you? Bah! "
