Looking at that slender figure, Yu Tingzhi's eyes grew deeper and deeper, his index finger slightly bent, tapping on the table rhythmically.
After a while, he retracted his gaze and looked at Wang Dengfeng beside him.
"Where's the ring?"
"What ring?" Wang Dengfeng was taken aback.
"Engagement ring."
Old Master Yu did prepare an engagement ring, but didn't Yu Tingzhi say he wanted to break off the engagement?
"Third Brother, you're not breaking off the engagement?" Wang Dengfeng asked.
"What break off the engagement?" Yu Tingzhi asked back.
"Just now in the lounge, you said it yourself! You wouldn't have forgotten so quickly, would you?"
"You misheard." Yu Tingzhi's tone was indifferent, as if he had never said he wanted to break off the engagement.
After speaking, Yu Tingzhi stretched out his hand towards Wang Dengfeng, "The ring."
Looking at Yu Tingzhi's outstretched hand, Wang Dengfeng began to doubt his life.
Good heavens!
They say women are fickle, when did men start becoming so fickle too?
Wang Dengfeng swallowed and took out the ring box from his pocket, handing it to Yu Tingzhi.
Yu Tingzhi put away the engagement ring, stood up, and walked towards the stage.
Just at this moment.
A beam of light shone towards the stage.
Her figure was completely revealed in front of everyone.
The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Wearing a spotless white礼服, the tailored design highlighted her slender waist, her waist-length hair was styled up, revealing her long and graceful swan neck, and a noble aura exuded a hint of aloofness.
Hibiscus face, willow waist.
With a gentle lift of her eyes, a pair of exquisite peach blossom eyes shimmered with clear light, making everything in the world lose its color in front of her.
The carefully dressed noble daughters present also became her backdrop.
The atmosphere in the air stagnated for a moment.
After a while.
The sound of discussion rose again.
"Heavens! So beautiful."
"Beautiful? What's the use of being beautiful? No matter how beautiful, she's just a country bumpkin who can't be brought to the table."
"This daughter was adopted by Song Dalong. If calculated according to the timeline, she is indeed the eldest daughter of the Song family. She has been raised in the countryside all these years and was only brought back recently for the engagement."
"So the one engaged to Yu Tingzhi isn't Song Baoyi! The Yu family has really been shameless all these years, always claiming to the outside world that Song Baoyi is Yu Tingzhi's fiancée. Isn't this delaying her?"
"I said Third Master Yu is not worthy of Miss Song!"
"..."
Listening to these remarks.
Old Master Yu's face was almost deathly white.
He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.
Fortunately, the butler beside him promptly fed the old master a quick-acting heart-relief pill, and he finally recovered.
How could he have imagined that the Song family would pull such a trick of substituting a peach for a plum?
What a Song Dalong!
If Song Baoyi looked down on Yu Tingzhi and wanted to break off the engagement, she could have said it directly. Why go to such lengths to humiliate him?
He had even thought that Song Baoyi wasn't that kind of superficial girl.
The two brothers beside him, Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan, exchanged glances, both seeing a look of anticipation for a good show in each other's eyes.
He even had to take a heart-relief pill, it seems the old master is really furious.
It would be best if he could just die of anger!
Old Master Yu was seated next to Yu Zhihong and Fang Minghui.
Both of their faces were also very unsightly.
At the same time, they were also very worried.
The Song family's breach of faith in temporarily changing the person, how would Yu Tingzhi step down?
Yu Zhihong stood up directly from his chair, unable to resist going to Song Dalong to demand an explanation.
"Zhihong, wait a moment."
Fang Minghui promptly grabbed Yu Zhihong's hand.
Yu Zhihong was stunned.
Fang Minghui gestured for him to look at the stage, "Look."
He saw Yu Tingzhi holding the engagement ring, step by step walking up to the girl on the stage and stopping in front of her, his tone low and deep, a very pleasant voice, melodious and magnetic.
"Miss Song, hello. I am Yu Tingzhi."
Song Hua slightly raised her eyes and fell into a pair of deep eyes.
The man had an extremely handsome appearance.
His long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, his sword-like eyebrows held a faint smile as they slightly raised, his high and straight nose was as delicate as if carved, and his thin lips were almost pressed into a line.
Like a ruler who looked down upon the world, he was inviolable and unreachable.
As their eyes met, both were slightly stunned.
She hadn't expected that her cheap fiancé whom she had never met would be him.
That's right.
This wasn't their first meeting.
Back then, when the Song family plotted to send her to Boss Liu's private room, it was Yu Tingzhi who took advantage of the chaos to lead her out.
After a hurried farewell, Song Hua didn't even have time to ask for his name.
Never would have thought.
He is Yu Tingzhi.
Such a person, no matter how you look at it, doesn't resemble the rumored good-for-nothing waste.
Soon, Song Hua reacted, smiled slightly, and took Yu Tingzhi's hand, "Mr. Yu."
The host stepped forward at this moment, "Please exchange engagement rings."
Yu Tingzhi opened the ring box and took out the ring.
The red diamond ring shone with a captivating light under the illumination of the lights.
Song Hua extended her hand.
Her hand was long and fair, soft as if boneless, beautiful enough to take one's breath away.
After wearing the red diamond ring, her knuckles looked even longer and more slender, and under the contrast of the red diamond, her fingers were so white they seemed to glow, making anyone with a hand fetish unable to look away.
Red diamonds were already rare, let alone the ten-carat one Yu Tingzhi had taken out.
Seeing Yu Tingzhi put the red diamond on Song Hua's finger, there was a collective gasp from below the stage.
Everyone discussed animatedly.
"I heard there are only two such red diamonds in the world! The other one is in the royal family of Country U, said to be passed down to the next queen."
"This is the Yu family's heirloom. What a pity, given to a little country girl!"
"Old Master Yu is truly senile."
Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan looked at the diamond ring on Song Hua's hand, their eyes turning red with anger, their fists clenched tightly, and veins popping out on their faces.
They had thought the old master would pass this ring to the future head of the Yu family, never expecting that the old master would directly give the red diamond to Yu Tingzhi.
Yu Tingzhi was just a good-for-nothing.
Did Old Master Yu still want Yu Tingzhi to become the head of the Yu family?
Absurd!
It was simply absurd.
Song Baoyi was also under the stage.
Looking at the man on the stage putting the sky-high priced diamond ring on Song Hua's finger, she slightly frowned.
It seemed she hadn't expected that the famous waste of Jiang City would actually be so handsome and unparalleled.
Perhaps searching the entire Jiang City wouldn't find another man like him.
For some inexplicable reason, Song Baoyi was actually a little jealous of Song Hua. At this moment, the person wearing that ring should have been her.
However, Song Baoyi quickly felt relieved.
Even if Yu Tingzhi looked good, he was just a pretty face, a showy but worthless person.
How could a worthless person be worthy of her?
A woman like her, with the fragrance of books filling her spirit, should stand shoulder to shoulder with the aloof Mr. Xian Ting.
She had come tonight to make Yu Tingzhi recognize the reality that they were not people of the same world.
So as to prevent that waste from always being infatuated with her.
A waste and a country bumpkin were a match made in heaven.
"Miss Song, what exactly is going on? How could you do this to my son?" Fang Minghui finally couldn't hold back and walked up to Song Baoyi, asking in a low voice.
In Fang Minghui's opinion, Song Baoyi was knowledgeable and reasonable, understanding and considerate. She was definitely not the kind of person who would go back on her word.
Facing Fang Minghui, Song Baoyi didn't show any panic. Instead, she smiled and said softly, "Auntie Yu, I don't know what you're talking about. After all, from the beginning, the person engaged to Third Young Master Yu has always been my eldest sister."
Speaking of this, Song Baoyi lowered her voice and leaned closer to Fang Minghui's ear, "Moreover, I think a person should have self-awareness, don't you agree?"
