Chapter 230: 230 Live Broadcast Slap in the Face_1
But now, I no longer need to consider his feelings in my actions.
I have already made a name for myself at the Tianjiao Company, why would I be afraid of him?
“Fine, don’t listen then! Just remember, if you insist in being obstinate, you’ll become the laughingstock of the whole city!”
“Even if I become a laughingstock, that’s my business, it has nothing to do with President Gu…”
I couldn’t finish my sentence before he sneered and hung up on me.
In fact, Gu Yuanzhou’s words did leave me feeling a bit uneasy.
I sat down, beginning to ponder whether there was a flaw with the engagement ceremony.
I looked at my phone and found the news of the second young master’s engagement.
It seems the Ding family had indeed promoted this news, causing it to become a hot topic.
Internet traffic dictates everything these days, and netizens like to know the latest gossip, so I guess I’m not surprised by this kind of news frenzy.
If internet traffic is used correctly, it can bring huge benefits.
If it isn’t handled well though, it can lead to instant downfall. That’s why I need to tread lightly, and be very careful.
After a long investigation, I couldn’t find any particular cause for concern.
So I decided to treat what Gu Yuanzhou said as hot air.
Anyway, everything is all set, the arrow is drawn, ready to shoot.
Soon, a week had passed.
It was a Saturday.
This was the auspicious day selected by Ding’s Mother. Even though last time it ended in a fiasco thanks to Ding’s father, Ding Yinuo and his brother managed to sort everything out.
Everything was kept from blowing up, so there were many people coming to the event today.
Relatives and friends of the Ding family all came.
Plus, as I had requested, most of the guests had been handed a set of traditional dress to put on.
The venue was decorated in a classic and traditional style.
Even the MC was dressed in a Confucian-style gown.
Jia Yuyan did my makeup today, and my clothes were a set of red traditional dresses. The bright red color conveyed a strong festive atmosphere.
The classic and elegant hairstyle was also done by Jia Yuyan. She was quite talented, not only in making traditional clothes but also traditional hairpins.
In fact, I wasn’t wrong to trust her.
Ding Yinuo’s traditional clothes also looked very presentable.
Normally, he already exudes a scholarly aura. After putting on the traditional clothes, he looked even more like an elegant and graceful gentleman from a noble family in ancient times.
One glance is enough to create the impression of him being part of a royal family…
Because everyone at the venue was in traditional dress, this unique attire attracted lots of spectators.
Originally, my engagement to Ding Yinuo had been a hot topic online for quite some time, so many people came out of curiosity. Various internet influencers came to live stream, and in the end, even a TV station came to cover the event live.
The event was far more explosive than I had anticipated, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
In the end, Ding Yinuo had to call in many security guards from inside his property to maintain order at the venue.
Wenya was the first to run up to me with her phone,
“Ayun, you two are trending number one again!”
Everything was going according to plan.
Our original plan was to use this engagement party to launch our new product line—the Jia Yuyan series of traditional clothes…
We set up a table with exquisitely packaged souvenirs at the entrance of the event.
Inside the bags were catalogs displaying all the designs of the traditional dresses. You could get a 40% off with this souvenir.
In fact, even before we officially started the engagement ceremony, the enthusiastic spectators had already begun purchasing products.
Excellent!
Everything was going as planned!
Ding’s mother held my hand, looked me up and down with teary eyes, and exclaimed, “Ayun! I can’t wait for the day when you officially marry into our family!”
I didn’t know what to say, so I just hugged her for comfort.
Soon, the engagement ceremony began under the host’s guidance.
At this time, two unwelcome guests suddenly appeared at the scene.
Especially Gu Yuanzhou, his sharp aura immediately created tension.
“Is he seeking death?”
The ordinarily composed Ding Yinuo couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.
Su Peisheng quickly stood up, put out his hand to stop Ding Yinuo,
“Manager Ding, today is your happy day, don’t be impulsive. I’ll deal with this.”
Although Su Peisheng is a lawyer, in a situation like this, he couldn’t engage in a discourse.
Instead, he approached Gu Yuanzhou with a smile fixed on his face, a cigarette in his hand,
“Brother, have a smoke, please give us some face! As the saying goes, you don’t strike a man who’s smiling. After all, today is Ding’s happy event, so…please show some mercy.”
Gu Yuanzhou seems to ignore what Su Peisheng was saying and focused his gaze on me instead.
He then pushed Su Peisheng away and took a few steps to reach me.
Ding Yinuo immediately stood in front of me to protect me, his eyes cold as he stared at Gu Yuanzhou.
“Mr. Gu, if you are here to present a gift and offer your blessings, please be seated among the guests. Later, during the banquet, I can toast to you. Of course, if you’re hear to make trouble, let me remind you that we have more than thirty security guards present today. All it would take is one order from me…and you won’t be able to leave with your dignity intact.”
Ding Yinuo’s words clearly set out the stakes.
If Gu Yuanzhou had any sense, he should leave quietly.
However, Gu Yuanzhou seemed to pay no heed to this. He didn’t even grace Ding Yinuo with a glance.
Instead, he lifted his chin, scoffed at me and challenged me,
“Engagement? Why are all of guests here from the Ding’s family… Where’s your family? Even if you don’t have any relatives or friends, you must have parents, right?”
Gu Yuanzhou’s question left me in cold sweat.
Indeed, I had overlooked this fact.
I am using Ms. Song’s identity, but actually, I have pretty much lost contact with her family and friends.
Naturally, I didn’t invite them to my engagement. Thankfully, the Ding’s family didn’t mind this, Ding’s mother didn’t even mention it once.
However, to an outsider, this must seem quite strange!
I quickly replied,
“My parents are still in the country, they are too busy to attend. They said they would come during the wedding.”
Gu Yuanzhou sneered,
“What a smooth talker, you can really talk your way out of anything! Sadly, no one will believe your nonsense. The fact is, you didn’t even notify your parents, did you?”
The number of people attending alone is in the thousands, not to mention the hundreds of thousands watching the live stream.
If I were to be slandered and humiliated in front of the netizens today, not only would I lose, but it would also be a loss for Tianjiao Company.
I can’t allow such a mistake to happen.
So, I quickly changed the topic,
“Mr. Gu, I know how much you like me! But there’s nothing I can do, the one I love is Ding Yinuo! I know you can’t accept this fact, and you want to put me down and hurt me for the sake of your ego. But really, there’s no need for this. Isn’t true love about wishing happiness for the person you love?”
After I said this, Wenya immediately led the crowd in shouting,
“Get lost, jerk!”
