Chapter 220: I'm Looking for My Girlfriend
Gradually, as noon approached, under the gaze of many guests, the engagement ceremony between the Sun Family and the Xia Family slowly began.
At this moment, in the grand hall, Xia Bing was slowly walking towards the hall under the guidance of a ceremonial lady.
She was dressed in a vermilion cheongsam, with her jet-black hair styled at the back, appearing graceful and mature. Her already exquisite figure was further accentuated by the fitted cheongsam, leaving nothing to the imagination.
Right now, Xia Bing seemed like an elegant goddess, casually arriving at the center of the hall, her presence lighting up the eyes of everyone present.
Especially the makeup on Xia Bing's face, appearing extremely glamorous, though beautiful, it vaguely exuded a hint of ruthlessness.
Upon seeing Xia Bing's appearance, Sun Yi's gloominess seemed to lessen, despite the rage in his heart from previous events. It was undeniable that Xia Bing truly amazed Sun Yi.
Under the ceremonial lady's guidance, Xia Bing slowly arrived beside Sun Yi, her face devoid of expression, seemingly indifferent.
Seeing that both parties to the engagement were present, Sun Yaowu showed a slight smile. He signaled to the emcee nearby, indicating that the engagement ceremony could now begin.
Seeing Sun Yaowu's nod, the emcee immediately stood up, heading to the center of the hall, his face breaking into a professional smile as he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, welcome to this engagement ceremony between Young Master Yi and Miss Xia Bing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience erupted in applause. The Sun Family, known for their influence in the Capital, commanded respect that no one dared ignore.
But amidst the thunderous applause, Xia Angxuan's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably. It felt as if an invisible hand was clutching his heart, preventing any sense of relief.
Xia Bing's previous words seemed like a sword hanging over his head; if it dropped, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Young Master Yi and Miss Xia Bing are truly a perfect match, so as they are about to get engaged, I would like to ask on behalf of all guests here, are you happy?"
At this moment, the emcee skillfully set the atmosphere, yet for some reason, Xia Angxuan's eyelid twitched faster!
A wave of extreme tension suddenly surged within him, predicting that the sword overhead would fall in an instant!
"Happy!"
Sun Yi spoke, his face, meticulously groomed by the makeup artist, displaying a look of joy.
"It seems Young Master Yi is very happy. Let's ask Miss Xia Bing, shall we?"
The emcee's professional smile grew brighter as he pointed the microphone towards Xia Bing and asked, "Miss Xia Bing, are you happy?"
As these words were spoken, Xia Angxuan's heart raced suddenly. A strong sense of foreboding instantly welled up, weighing heavily on him like a mountain pressing on his chest!
"I..."
Facing the microphone, Xia Bing paused slightly, then a determined glimmer flashed in her eyes: "Extremely not happy!"
Buzz!
Upon uttering these words, the guests were instantly stunned. They could never have imagined that Xia Bing, about to be engaged to Sun Yi, would do such a thing!
To publicly express her unhappiness with the engagement was akin to slapping the face of everyone in the Sun Family in front of all the guests!
Sun Yaowu's face was alternating between white and blue, feeling a burning sensation akin to flames, filling him with rage!
He could never have foreseen such an occurrence at his grandly arranged engagement banquet!
Meanwhile, Xia Angxuan and Qiu Shengnan's faces turned pale, as they looked at Xia Bing in disbelief!
Even they could not foresee Xia Bing resorting to such means!
"Actually, I never want to be engaged to Sun Yi. I don't have even the slightest feeling for him!"
Xia Bing grabbed the microphone from the emcee, saying, "I'm here because I was forced. Xia Angxuan brought me here against my will for the Xia Family's development!"
"I don't want to marry into the Sun Family because I already have a man in Lin'an!"
I already have a man in Lin'an!
The phrase sounded like a bomb exploding, leaving every guest in disbelief!
They had attended numerous engagement ceremonies, but none as shocking as Xia Bing's actions—completely unheard of!
Xia Angxuan felt a sense of blood vomiting, realizing his carefully laid plans over the years disregarded by Xia Bing's simple words!
"E-everyone, don't believe my daughter. She has worked in Lin'an for many years and never had a boyfriend. Don't believe her…" Xia Angxuan desperately tried to salvage the situation.
"Really?"
Hearing Xia Angxuan's words, Xia Bing spoke coldly: "Unfortunately, you don't understand me. You know nothing about my life in Lin'an!"
Xia Bing's words shocked everyone, each sentence like two giant invisible hands slapping the faces of both Xia Family and Sun Family!
As her words fell, Sun Yaowu's expression turned frostier; Xia Bing's actions utterly disgraced both families!
"Security, arrest this vile woman!"
Sun Yi shouted furiously, his face filled with anger, unable to believe the chaos at his engagement party!
As security prepared to move towards Xia Bing, suddenly, a loud 'bang' reverberated, smashing open the Sun Mansion's door, followed by a convoy of black Humvees driving in, numbering thirty!
"Damn it, the Capital's roads are congested!"
Lu Yu descended slowly from the Humvee in a black suit, smiling as he looked around and spoke: "I'm looking for my girlfriend, has anyone seen her?"
