C169 Engagement party

The crowd was in an uproar as they drank wine. In a five star hotel owned by the Huo Family, the engagement ceremony between Huo Mochen and Lin Xiao was held as scheduled. Huo Weihan was not born to be a low-key person. He chose a good day and invited famous people from all walks of society to attend his son's engagement ceremony.

"Congratulations," "Good." The magnificent hall was bustling with noise and excitement.

As the eldest son of Huo Weihan, Huo Moting naturally received Huo Mochen's invitation to the engagement banquet. But Huo Moting was still brooding over the matter of Huo Weihan chasing Qin Fanglan away, and was not very willing to go to the banquet.

The day before the banquet.

"Mo Ting, why is Huo Mochen's wedding invitation in the trash?" When Gu Xiaoxiao passed by the living room, she caught a glimpse of the red paper card in the trash can.

"It's just an invitation letter. I thought it was useless, so I threw it away." Huo Moting sat on the sofa as he replied without a care.

"Mo Ting, I know you don't want to attend this engagement banquet." Sensing Huo Moting's emotions, Gu Xiaoxiao walked over and sat beside him.

"Just treat this banquet as a business exchange and face it with a different mindset. There was a long rumour that your relationship with your father was not on good terms. If you do not appear at Huo Mochen and Lin Nuo's engagement banquet tomorrow, the media will definitely seize on this fact. It's not a good thing for our company.

Furthermore, Huo Mochen is your half-brother, he personally sent you an invitation. If you don't even give him that little face, you won't be able to get along in the future. " Gu Xiaoxiao spoke sincerely and analyzed the pros and cons for Huo Moting.

Huo Moting closed his eyes and leaned his head back, holding Gu Xiaoxiao close and whispering into her ear: "Alright, alright, alright, I'll be participating in tomorrow's banquet, then you have to accompany me there too."

Huo Moting faintly sighed in Gu Xiaoxiao's ear. Before Gu Xiaoxiao could begin to resist, she quickly left, smiling magnanimously.

"No problem, I'm willing to accompany you." Gu Xiaoxiao laughed softly, causing Huo Moting to feel a burst of happiness.

During Huo Mochen's engagement banquet, Huo Moting walked into the hall dressed in his formal attire and brought Gu Xiaoxiao in. After exchanging a few pleasantries with some acquaintances, Huo Moting and Gu Xiaoxiao saw the opportunity and swiftly retreated to the southeastern corner of the auction hall. Away from the crowd, it was quiet and free from business pleasantries.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Huo, am here to express my gratitude to all of you for taking the time to attend Mr. Huo Mochen and Miss Lin Nuo's engagement ceremony!"

"Today, I also want to borrow Huo Mochen's engagement ceremony to announce a few more things to everyone."

After a long string of pleasantries, Huo Weihan finally got down to business.

"A few days ago, Lady Qin Fanglan and I ended our marriage, I believe everyone has heard of it. Today, I want to announce that Lady Gu Ruqin is my only wife and thank her for taking care of me for such a long time. We will continue to move forward. "

After Huo Weihan finished speaking, he looked at the guests present proudly. A sparse round of applause came from the audience, giving him a reply.

At first, when Huo Moting told him that Gu Ruqin was his only wife, he could not suppress his emotions any longer. Black clouds covered his face and even his eyebrows were about to scrunch together. Gu Xiaoxiao secretly held Huo Moting's hand under the table, trying to calm him down.

"What an ungrateful person." Huo Moting lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and roared these words into Gu Xiaoxiao's ears.

"It's not like he's been like this for a day or two. He's just used to it." Gu Xiaoxiao calmly replied. In order to avoid drawing the attention of the surrounding people, her expression did not change. Relax. " Gu Xiaoxiao once again tightened her grip on Huo Moting's hand.

Huo Weihan waved his hand to signal everyone, and continued to speak: "My youngest son, Huo Mochen, and Lin's disease's daughter, Lin Nuo, are fated to be together, so as a father, I am very happy. In the future, Hawking Enterprise will also work together with the enterprises of the Lin's disease, and we will move forward together. Huo Weihan held his head high and held his chest up high, the intense ambition in his heart could be seen from the people walking around.

A round of warm applause came from below, but some people snorted in their hearts at Huo Weihan's words, extremely dissatisfied.

"No wonder the Huo Family ended their cooperation with us a few days ago. They were all snatched away by the Lin's disease." The one who spoke was Long Cheng's CEO. A few days ago, their company's real estate project with Hawking Enterprise was going to be completed soon, and now that the Huo family said that they would cooperate with the Lin's disease Group, he was very dissatisfied.

"The projects that we were working on with the Huo Clan previously were all terminated. Lv Cheng agreed to it well. Now that Lin's disease had interfered, all of his previous efforts had gone down the drain. It's not good enough for the Huo Family and Lin's disease to work together to do this. " After hearing Long Cheng's complaint, the representative of Blue Sky company was also very unhappy and did not sound happy at all.

For a time, the people in the crowd discussed amongst themselves. Previously, Lv Cheng had secretly contacted various companies to work together with him, but he had paid back the debt with a commission. Today's words from Huo Weihan caused the faces of all the business representatives to change drastically, and the originally lively and joyous atmosphere also became stiff. The engagement banquet was full of undercurrents, and a dispute was unavoidable.

The other companies that had previously agreed to cooperate with the Huo Family had also suffered a setback because of Lv Cheng. However, due to the fact that they could not reveal it to the rest because of Lv Cheng, each and every one of them could only swallow their anger.

"Does Huo Shi really think that we are easy to bully? The project that we have already discussed with each other has been cut in half by the Lin's disease, and it has wasted so much of our time and energy. Although the scale of our enterprise can't compare to the Huo Family's Lin's disease, they can't rely on their size to be tyrannical, and not put us in their eyes. " Several business representatives were gathered together, indignantly accusing the Huo Family and Lin's disease.

"Our company's previous efforts were all in vain. Their Huo Clan's Lv Cheng had promised to give us a chance during the bidding. Huo Weihan said that he would work together with the Lin's disease. The Hawking Enterprise is making us dumb to suffer. The people who represented them talked about their dissatisfaction with the Huo family and resonated with them.

"I think we won't be able to recover our losses. How about we, these companies that have been discontinued, join hands and properly give them a big gift?" The blue sky company representative's expression changed, a cold light flashing across his face.

"Yes, since the Huo family is so heartless to us, don't blame us for being unjust." The representatives of other companies chimed in. Huo Weihan was still full of satisfaction, and did not know that the situation had changed.

On the other side of the banquet, Huo Mochen was dressed in a dark blue custom-made suit. His expression was calm and his emotions could not be seen. Beside him, Lin Nuo was wearing a simple yet elegant, lotus root colored suit. Lin Xiao pulled Huo Mochen's arm, and seemed to be right.

"Director Huo, your engagement ring." The secretary handed over a deep red velvet box to Huo Mochen. Huo Mochen opened it and saw a pair of engagement rings inside.

The huge main drill was surrounded by many stars that surrounded it. It was gorgeous, yet it didn't lose its style. The male ring, on the other hand, had a diamond embedded in it. It seemed to be very calm and collected. Huo Moting stood up, took Lin Xiao's hand and said: "Miss Lin, are you willing to be engaged to me, and live the rest of your life together?" His voice was as calm as water, without a single ripple.

Lin Xiao deeply understood the reason for her engagement to Huo Mochen. Hearing Huo Mochen say such words, her heart was still moved. Although they couldn't get his heart, it wasn't too bad for those who could get their hands on him. Lin Xiao took a deep breath, and stared straight at Huo Mochen: "I am willing." Huo Mochen smiled and took the storage ring for Lin Xiao.

"They really do look like a perfect match, a perfect match for a perfect pair. It really makes one envious." The bystanders who did not know the truth sighed.

During today's engagement ceremony, Huo Mochen had given Lin Nuo enough face. After all, his marriage with Lin Nuo had been obtained through Lin Nuo's means. But Huo Mochen was a responsible person, and on this point, he was much stronger than his parents.

"Sister Lin Nuo, you and brother-in-law seem to be really in love with each other!" Lin Nuo's little cousin said to Lin Nuo in an envious tone.

"Is that so? You're so good-looking, grow up fast, and you can find a husband who loves you. " Lin Nuo said to her cousin with a smile. In her heart, she was extremely grateful to Huo Mochen for giving her face today. Lin Nuo knew that Huo Mochen did not love her at all, and that the marriage she had fought for was only a matter of law.

Lin Xiao looked at Huo Mochen who was drinking with his father, and sighed in his heart.

"Although you don't love me now, you might fall in love with me in the future. "I believe that as long as I work hard enough and do my best, I will win your heart sooner or later." As he thought about it, Lin Nuo felt that every day in the future would be filled with hope. She vowed to be a good wife and a good partner in the future.

"Mo Chen, I'll leave my precious daughter to you. You have to treat her well." The Forest Fathers raised his hand to pour a cup of wine for Huo Mochen, who hurriedly caught it with both hands, "Uncle, don't worry, Lin Xiao will not be wronged while he is at my house." Huo Mochen treated it as a form of business courtesy, picking up the calls one after another was considered to be smooth.

But in Huo Moting's heart, Lin Xiao was only his wife in name. Since he had done that kind of thing to Lin Nuo, he had to be responsible for it. This responsibility did not have anything to do with love.

In Huo Mochen's opinion, Lin Xiao came from a large clan, and did not even have a teaching background. He was gentle, virtuous and understanding. Furthermore, he was wise enough to look at the bigger picture. He was a very suitable person to take home as a wife. However, Huo Mochen felt that this new wife had something wrong with her. Thinking to this point, Huo Mochen lifted his hand and drained the wine in his palm.

They exchanged toasts, and gradually, the banquet came to an end.
