CHAPTER 534: CHAPTER 0453 - HOW IS HE HERE? (FIVE UPDATES)

But unexpectedly, Ye Qingfeng still received the news and came here.

Bai Gang didn’t think much of it, because he had no idea about Bai Wan’er’s feelings for Ye Qingfeng. Today, he was in high spirits, patting Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder and saying.

"Xiao Feng, perfect timing, come in and sit down!"

Fang Meilian hesitated to speak, her expression odd.

Ye Qingfeng smiled slightly and nodded, "Uncle Bai, Aunt Fang, I’ll go in first!"

As he passed by Jian Chen, he cast a teasing glance, making Jian Chen’s face even gloomier.

Jian Xu and his wife noticed Jian Chen’s strange expression and asked, "Xiao Chen, what’s going on? Who is that kid?"

Jian Chen said in a low voice, "He is Ye Qingfeng, and I heard he is from the Divine Guard."

"What?"

Jian Xu’s eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat incredulous that this boy, dressed in ordinary casual wear and canvas shoes, was a member of the Divine Guard.

And the Zongheng Two Elders sent by this Divine Punishment were here to avenge Dark Ghost.

Could it be that the Divine Guard has some awareness of their Jian Family?

But Jian Xu couldn’t worry too much about that.

With the Zongheng Two Elders here, sending a brat like him from the Divine Guard was just sending him to his death.

"Wan’er also likes him!"

Jian Chen’s face grew darker as he spoke, and anger flared up in his eyes.

"Heh, this kid is really courting death!" Jian Chen sneered coldly, "I originally intended to wait until after today, then let the Zongheng Two Elders deal with him. Who would have thought that he’d dare to come here on his own to die."

Jian Chen had this thought in mind; since Ye Qingfeng was a member of the Divine Guard, why not use the Zongheng Two Elders, these two skilled experts, to take care of this kid?

Thinking this way, he had already made up his mind to put the death of the two ghosts on Ye Qingfeng.

After all, being a member of the Divine Guard, he’d have to take the blame.

Jian Xu also had a cold glint in his eyes, "Daring to compete with my son for a woman, overestimating himself. Regardless of who is behind him, with the Zongheng Two Elders currently in the inner hall, once the engagement banquet is over, he won’t be able to leave even if he wants to, and he will surely die."

As Ye Qingfeng arrived in the inner hall, everyone’s eyes were upon him, filled with awe, as if they were seeing a deity.

Guo Qing’s face was not calm because he knew Ye Qingfeng was of the Yanjing Ye Family.

Upon meeting Ye Qingfeng, he was initially shocked by Ye Qingfeng’s talent as a young strongman, but he never thought Ye Qingfeng would grow so quickly.

He too was a person in the martial arts world and was well aware of the rankings on the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List. Ye Qingfeng was ranked first, a benchmark presence in the martial arts world.

"Only twenty, and he’s already surpassed ’Yu Yaosheng’, ’Yan Bufan’, and others. Who knows what his limits are?"

He shook his head with a sigh, secretly glad for the decisions he made back then.

After all, the Ye Family back in Yanjing was in a precarious situation.

The Guo Family had given the Ye Family some help.

In any case, Ye Qingfeng counted as a friend of their Guo Family, which was a huge blessing for them.

Guo Ziqi’s beautiful eyes sparkled; the matters of the Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List naturally spread to Yanjing.

Previously, she heard her grandfather say how the genius of the Ye Family was like a devil.

But she was skeptical when her grandfather said Ye Qingfeng’s future might surpass ’Yu Yaosheng’. However, now Ye Qingfeng had already ascended to the top of Hua Xia Hidden Dragon List, the Yanjing Ye Family might rise because of it.

"His current status is such that not even a regional governor might compare, only the heads of top family houses in Yanjing could be considered his equals."

Guo Ziqi’s heart became more fervent; compared to Ye Qingfeng, what were the talents of Yanjing she once favored?

The inner hall was silent as a lake; the previously jovial elites of Jiangbei City, along with various tycoons, all shut their mouths. With Ye Qingfeng’s appearance, how dare they act out of line?

Beside Guo Qing there was a chief seat, but Ye Qingfeng didn’t go there. He chose a seat towards the back.

At four o’clock sharp, Bai Gang and his wife, along with Jian Xu and his wife, all entered the inner hall. The emcee on the stage, in formal attire, wore a professional smile.

Jian Chen followed behind the four, and as soon as he entered the hall, he sensed something strange.

The guests had no smiles on their faces; instead, they seemed to be there for a good laugh, gazing at him with pity and schadenfreude.

"What’s going on?"

He was greatly puzzled but couldn’t figure out the key.

Jian Xu checked his watch, time was up, and he nodded towards the emcee on the stage.

The emcee immediately picked up the microphone and spoke brightly.

"Honored friends and guests, thank you for gracing us with your presence at the Royal Hotel to witness the engagement of this prospective couple!"

His tone was enthusiastic, indeed professionally trained, displaying high skill.

After this sentence, he deliberately paused, and applause erupted from the audience.

Bai Gang was beaming, scanning the surroundings, and suddenly taken aback.

Although the guests were applauding, nearly everyone was expressionless, lacking any celebratory spirit.

He thought nothing of it, assuming it was the usual demeanor of Jiangbei City’s elite, and motioned for the emcee to continue.

"In this world, the most romantic love is love at first sight, where just one glance makes you feel they are the person you have envisioned in your heart."

"Now, let’s welcome today’s heroine, Director Bai’s daughter, Miss Bai Wan’er, onto the stage!"

Now the applause was thunderous, surpassing before.

The spotlight shone by the curtain, and Bai Wan’er, in a pristine white evening gown like a noble royal princess, walked gracefully in her crystal high heels.

Jian Chen’s eyes were full of admiration and greed; knowing that after today, Bai Wan’er would be his fiancée alone, he could hardly contain his excitement.

Bai Wan’er bore a touch of sadness on her face but forced a smile to stand on the stage.

The young male emcee flashed a look of amazement, secretly envying Jian Chen’s good fortune.

But he didn’t forget his duty, continuing, "Now let’s welcome today’s leading man, the young master of Cangqiong Group, Young Master Jian Chen, onto the stage."

Jian Chen, in a pure white suit, with his tall stature, well-groomed appearance, was quite a handsome figure, like a prince from a fairytale, as he walked up the stage step by step.

He gazed intently at Bai Wan’er and then stood beside the emcee, one on each side.

Bai Wan’er’s heart suddenly tensed as she looked around, hoping to see the one she kept hidden in her heart, yet at the same time, not wanting to see him appear, in deep contradiction.

Suddenly, her gaze fixed as her lips parted slightly with surprise.

Ye Qingfeng was sitting in a back row on the left, his eyes deep as the stars, meeting hers!

"He... how is he here?"

Bai Wan’er felt both joy and surprise in her heart.

Ye Qingfeng’s face remained with an indifferent and calm expression, causing Bai Wan’er’s heart to dim slightly.

"Perhaps mom invited him to the engagement ceremony!"

She never thought Ye Qingfeng would come for her sake.
