He was on the verge of exploding, but this state only lasted for a few seconds. Zhao Hongkun's fists slowly loosened and his cold expression eased.
He said with a smile, "Wan 'er, I'm sincere to you. Why do you have to do this? "Don't make such a joke with me again, okay?"
"Are you joking?"
Qi Wan 'er smiled and said, "Zhao Hongkun, we're not that close yet. I won't joke with you."
Zhao Hongkun said, "No matter what you did in the past, I don't care. I only care about you."
Qi Wan 'er smiled sarcastically and said, "What you care about is the so-called bringing good fortune to your husband, right? As long as I can help you achieve success, everything else is not important. You can even accept being cheated on, right? "
Zhao Hongkun frowned and said, "Wan 'er, you've gone too far. I know you can't accept me now, but I promise you will look at me differently in the future."
"You think too much. We don't have a future at all."
After that, Qi Wan 'er walked straight to the relatives next to her.
Looking at her graceful back, a cold light flashed in Zhao Hongkun's eyes. Although the conversation just now was very unpleasant and he could see that Qi Wan 'er was very repulsed by him, he could not give up.
Soon, the engagement banquet officially began. In the banquet hall, a beautiful emcee walked to the front stage.
She was a famous host of a Huaxia TV station. Today, she was invited to preside over the wedding of Qi Wan 'er and Zhao Hongkun, which showed how much importance the Qi family attached to this engagement.
The emcee said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, although today is not a formal wedding ceremony, it is also a very grand engagement banquet. Miss Qi Wan 'er and Mr. Zhao Hongkun will complete the lifelong contract under the witness of all the guests. Let's welcome this happy moment with warm applause."
There was a thunderous applause below the stage, and even the masters of the Seven Great Families clapped unhurriedly.
Qi Yulong stood next to them. He was very satisfied with all this. Among the second generation of the Qi family, he was the most outstanding one. Now that his daughter had completed the marriage with the Zhao family, he would definitely be the master of the family in the future.
Qi Wan 'er and Zhao Hongkun went to the stage. Zhao Hongkun was smiling, but Qi Wan' er looked old-fashioned and there was no joy on her face.
The emcee walked up to them and didn't realize that there was anything different about today's ceremony. He raised the microphone in his hand and said, "The two newlyweds are about to get engaged. Before that, I have a few questions to ask the bridegroom and bridegroom."
He said to Zhao Hongkun, "Let me ask the handsome Mr. Zhao, are you willing to marry Miss Wan 'er?"
"I'm willing!"
Zhao Hongkun's voice was loud and powerful. "In the past, I didn't believe in love at first sight in this world, but the moment I saw Wan 'er, I believed it. She's the woman I've been looking for my whole life."
After he finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause backstage. However, some people secretly curled their lips. They knew very well that love at first sight was bullsh * t. It was all about bringing good luck to her husband.
Zhao Cangqiong, the master of the Zhao family, was sitting next to Qi Guofan, Qi Waner's grandfather. Seeing his grandson's performance, he could not help but say proudly, "Old Qi, what do you think? This grandson of mine is not bad, right? "
"Not bad, not bad at all! Otherwise, how could he be worthy of my granddaughter? "
Qi Guofan laughed happily. He was extremely satisfied with this marriage.
At this moment, the emcee moved the microphone in front of Qi Waner and said, "Beautiful Miss Wan 'er, would you like to marry Mr. Zhao?"
Qi Waner did not answer directly. She glanced around and saw everyone's expectations and expressions. Then she said firmly, "I, Qi Waner, don't want to marry him!"
Her words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in the entire banquet hall. Many people even suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. How could the bridegroom say that she didn't want to marry him at such a festive time?
At this time, Qi Waner smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with everyone's shocked expressions. She repeated and said, "You heard me right. I just said that I don't want to marry him!"
This time, there was an uproar and the crowd immediately became restless.
Many people who failed to pursue Qi Waner were secretly delighted. If I can't get her, Zhao Hongkun can't get her either. Now there was a good show to watch.
Zhao Hongkun's face was pale, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Although Qi Waner had expressed her dissatisfaction just now, he thought that she was just playing a little temper with him. Children of big families like them all put the interests of their families first.
He never expected that Qi Waner would do what she said and completely disregard the face of the Qi family and the Zhao family.
Didn't she know what kind of situation the two families would be in if she did so at this moment? Didn't she think about the serious consequences of doing so? If this marriage didn't work out, the Qi family and the Zhao family would become the laughing stock of the whole capital in the future.
The beautiful lady held the microphone in her hand and was completely stunned at this moment. The words that she had prepared before could not be used at all.
She had thought that this was a good job. She could simply organize the engagement ceremony and then get a big red packet from such a big family.
But the reality was not as good as she had imagined. Although she had hosted many wedding ceremonies, it was the first time that she had encountered such a situation. For a moment, she was at a loss.
Shi Zhixuan, who was under the stage, was stunned. Only then did she realize what her daughter's words meant. She had never expected that her daughter would take such an extreme approach and almost break up with the whole Qi family.
Qi Yulong, who was standing next to her, was so angry with Qi Waner that he didn't expect his daughter to be so ignorant.
He hurried to the stage and said, "Waner, have you recovered from your fever last night? If you are not feeling well, go to rest. Don't let it affect your mood."
Then he took the microphone from the emcee's hand and said to the audience, "I'm sorry, everyone. Waner had a fever last night, and now she is not very conscious. Please forgive me …"
Qi Waner grabbed the microphone from his hand and said, "I'm not sick, and I'm very sober. That's what I want to say. I don't want to! I just don't want to! "
Qi Yulong was completely dumbfounded. Although he knew that Qi Waner was forced to attend this engagement party, this was very common among the aristocratic families.
Before he put Qi Waner under house arrest, he thought that as long as the rice was cooked, everything would be fine. After all, all the children of aristocratic families put family interests first, and personal love was nothing at all.
If this marriage was successful, his status in the Qi family would rise, and he was likely to become the next family master.
But he never expected that Qi Waner was much more unyielding than he had imagined. She even said the word "don't want to" in public, which directly beat him from heaven to hell.
Feeling the sarcastic and mocking eyes under the stage, Qi Yulong shouted angrily, "Qi Waner, are you confused? Do you know what you are talking about? "
"I'm not confused. I know what I am talking about, and I know what I want."
Qi Waner didn't intend to change her mind at all. She said with a firm look, "I don't want this marriage at all. It's completely forced. Now my acupoints are sealed. Do you think I am willing?"
After she finished speaking, the banquet hall, which had just quieted down a little, was in an uproar again. No one had expected that the Qi family would seal their daughter's acupoints for this marriage.
Originally, many people thought that this marriage was a good marriage in the circle of aristocratic families. One party had a rare blessing for the husband, and the other party was the leader of the younger generation in the capital. They didn't expect that the other party was not willing at all and was completely forced to do so.
At this moment, the smile on the face of Zhao Cangqiong, the master of the Zhao family, had long disappeared. He looked at Qi Waner, who was determined on the stage, and then looked at Zhao Hongkun, who was completely at a loss. Finally, he sighed softly.
He had thought that this was a happy event for the Zhao family. His grandson and Qi Waner were a match made in heaven. If he married a rare blessing for the husband, the Zhao family would be promoted to a higher level. But now it seemed that things were not as he had imagined.
After all, Zhao Hongkun was an outstanding figure of the younger generation. He slowly recovered from the shock and said to the guests below the stage, "Everyone, I'm sorry. I just quarreled with Waner below the stage. What she said just now was just a petulant remark. Don't take it seriously."
After that, he turned around and took Qi Waner's hand. "Waner, if you have anything to say, go home and tell me. Don't lose your temper here."
Originally, he still had the last glimmer of hope that Qi Waner could save some face for the two families.
But to his disappointment, Qi Waner slapped his hand away and said, "Zhao Hongkun, are you still fantasizing? It's impossible for us to have a family."
"Well …"
Fantasizing? Only then did Zhao Hongkun realize that everything before seemed to be really an illusion. Although the woman in front of him was good, she did not belong to him at all.
Seeing that his grandson was rejected again and again, Zhao Cangqiong became more and more angry. If this went on, not only would the Qi family lose face, but the Zhao family would also lose face.
This girl from the Qi family had gone too far. Had she not considered the face of the two great families? Had she not considered the consequences of such a scene?
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Qi Guofan and said, "Old Qi, your granddaughter is too uneducated. She doesn't take our Zhao family seriously at all. Shouldn't the Qi family give us an explanation?"
At this moment, the masters of the other great families were calm and looked at the development of the situation indifferently. Some even had a faint smile on their faces. After all, the onlookers were not afraid of making things worse. The bigger the matter was, the better it would be for them.
"Nonsense!" Qi Guofan could not sit still and his face was livid. Originally, he thought that Qi Yulong could calm the situation down, but he did not expect that it would become more and more serious. The engagement party was ruined, which was a slap in the face to the Qi family.
He slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Qi Waner and shouted, "You must give me an explanation today."
