Zhou Liang quickly signaled to his daughter with his eyes.
Zhou Li understood and said, “Grandpa Lu is really good to you, Aunt. You don’t know how much I wish you could marry Master Si right away!”
Shen Yuan put away the smile on her face and asked, “I heard that you and Mei Shu were classmates?”
Zhou Li hurriedly distanced herself, “Oh, although we are classmates, I don’t really know her. I transferred to this school just this semester.”
After speaking, she glanced discreetly in Lu Si’s direction, making sure his attention wasn’t on them. Then she lowered her voice and said, “Actually, 1 heard something before! Mei Shu was not well-liked at school before and even experienced bullying!”
“Oh? Is that so?” Shen Yuan was unaware of this.
However, it seemed that Zhou Li strongly disliked Mei Shu.
As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Although Zhou Li hadn’t officially started dating Lu Yan, and Lu Yan didn’t like her, no one understood better than Shen Yuan how important the elders’ intentions were. As long as Lu Li and his wife approved of Zhou Li, they might become family in the future.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan smiled even more kindly at her, “You know the grievances between Mei Shu and me. 1 really don’t want another third party to interfere with our relationship after I’m engaged to Ah Si. So, there might be some things I need your help with.”
“I’m more than willing! Aunt, how would you like me to help?” Zhou Li was eager to try on this matter regarding Mei Shu.
Shen Yuan said, “1 think Mei Shu won’t give up easily today. If she causes trouble, it will disrupt my engagement ceremony.”
Zhou Li immediately understood and confidently snapped her fingers, “Aunt, rest assured. I’ll take care of it. I won’t let Mei Shu and anyone related to her enter the banquet, disturbing your special day!”
“Good, thank you.” Shen Yuan smiled even more tenderly.
This way, even if Lu Si knew Mei Shu had come, he would only blame Zhou’s family for being meddlesome, not holding it against Shen Yuan.
After all, Zhou Liang’s words had already offended Lu Si, and there was nothing to fear from adding one more thing.
If Zhou Li really married Lu Yan in the future, this trivial matter wouldn’t be worth mentioning.
Soon, the banquet officially began.
Shen Yuan and Lu Si walked together to the center of the stage, accepting the admiring gazes from the crowd.
Until this moment, the tension she had been holding finally eased a bit.
In fact, she had been afraid that Mei Shu would show up and take away the future she was about to obtain so easily.
But now, it seemed that Mei Shu was just like that, and Lu Si would soon become her legitimate fiance.
He would belong to her alone.
“Next, please let Master Si personally put on the engagement ring for Miss Shen.” The emcee’s loud voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.
The engagement ceremony was held at the largest hotel under the Lu family, showing how much Lu Ting valued his future daughter-in-law.
Cheers and applause filled the surroundings.
But Shen Yuan could still hear the breaths of Lu Si and her own wildly beating heart.
Guided by the emcee, she slowly raised her right hand, waiting for the man she had longed for to personally put the ring on her finger, handing over the unique title of wife to her.
“Shen Yuan, actually, if you didn’t force me like this, I would still help the Shen family for the sake of Grandpa’s fondness for you.” Lu Si frowned, lowering his voice so that only the two of them could hear.
Shen Yuan shrugged indifferently. “No, at this point, what 1 want is not just to revive the Shen family. For me, getting you is much more worthwhile than obtaining those temporary riches.”
“You will regret it.” After saying this, Lu Si reached into his pocket.
“Absolutely not.” Shen Yuan stared at his actions and could not help but feel a little smug.
No matter how much this man was praised by the outside world, he was still defeated by her at this time and had to put a diamond ring on her personally.
From now on, no matter which woman he still had in his heart, in the eyes of the public, his only wife could only be her, Shen Yuan.
“Click.” A light sound came from Shen Yuan’s wrist.
The corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth was almost reaching her ears.
However, the next moment, the cheers of the crowd suddenly stopped, and the entire engagement ceremony scene seemed to be paused, with everyone maintaining their expressions and movements as if frozen in shock.
The atmosphere around them instantly turned chilly.
Shen Yuan stared dumbfoundedly at the handcuffs that Lu Si had personally put on her wrist, and her lips trembled slightly. “What do you mean?”
“Sorry, Miss Shen, for disturbing your engagement banquet. However, 1 think some things need to be clarified in front of Chairman Lu before your engagement, so as not to tarnish the reputation of the Lu family.”
Zhou Guo appeared from somewhere, followed by several plainclothes police officers..
