Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1470: I Disagree!

Beside Zeng Bowen, there was also a man in his forties or fifties, who bore some resemblance to him. He was likely Zeng Bowen's father and the Sect Master of Tiancang Sect!

That man also gave Su Chen a slight glance. Though he maintained a calm demeanor, Su Chen still sensed a trace of killing intent!

However, Su Chen chose to ignore this father and son duo and started to chat casually with Ji Ping beside him.

Zeng Bowen saw Su Chen's attitude and clenched his fists even tighter, his face turning livid with anger!

"Don't worry, the revenge will be exacted. Bear with it for now!"

The Sect Master of Tiancang Sect said softly.

"Yes, Father!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Bowen slowly relaxed his fists...

Once everyone was seated, a dignified middle-aged man walked in!

"Family Head Yao, congratulations, congratulations!"

At this moment, everyone stood up, faces full of smiles, cupping their fists as they laughed.

The middle-aged man who had just entered was exactly Yao Yu, the Family Head of the Yao family, and today was his fiftieth birthday!

Seeing this, he also cupped his hands and said with a smile:

"Thank you, thank you, thank you all for attending the birthday celebration of Yao. I feel deeply honored!"

He then waved his hand and said:

"Please, everyone, be seated."

Upon hearing this, everyone sat down. At this time, Yao Yu continued to speak:

"All of you present are prominent figures of note within the Jade Mountain Spirit Vein, people with status and influence. It's rare to gather everyone together, so let's enjoy ourselves. Besides eating and drinking well, the younger generation's martial arts exchange is indispensable! Hahaha~~~"

Upon hearing this, the scene immediately burst into excitement and enthusiasm, for those who cultivate martial arts, a competition is certainly the most attractive!

Of course, as it was merely intended to liven up the atmosphere, only the young generation would participate, and it was a way to see how strong the younger generation of Jade Mountain was!

"Is there a martial arts competition too?"

Su Chen asked in surprise, wasn't it just a birthday celebration? Was it really necessary?

"Su Chen, you may not know this, but the Ruin Realm values martial arts, and occasions like this always include a competition!"

Ji Tianhong said with a soft laugh, explaining to Su Chen.

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded in understanding, finding it rather curious.

"However, everyone, please hold your excitement. Before the competition, I have an important announcement to make, and I would like everyone to witness it!"

Yao Yu waved his hand again and said, and the room instantly quieted down, as everyone was curious about what the Yao Family Head had to announce.

At this moment, the Family Head of the Liang family, Liang Qun, and especially Liang Song, had a smug smile on their faces!

"Today, I have a piece of great news to announce here!"

Yao Yu cleared his throat and said:

"That is, my daughter Zhiqing will be happily united in marriage with the Liang family's son Liang Song. At that time, I invite everyone to join us and have a toast of celebratory wine!"

As soon as his words fell, everyone was a bit taken aback!

"Congratulations, congratulations, this is a grand occasion indeed!"

"Indeed, indeed, one is a talented young man, the other a graceful beauty, truly a match made in heaven!"

"One cup of celebratory wine won't suffice, at least a whole jar must be consumed!"

...

Moments later, the crowd became even more lively. Regardless of what they truly thought of the marriage, everyone appeared to enthusiastically congratulate the couple!

Many people went directly to congratulate the Liang family's father and son, who stood up and returned each greeting with smiles as bright as flowers on their faces!

Amidst this scene, however, there was one person whose face had turned pale, and that was Yao Zhiqing!

She never expected her father to announce this matter at this moment and publicly!

She knew her father had always wanted to pair her up with Liang Song, and in truth, she understood her father's intentions!

Firstly, the Liang family was one of the largest powers within the Jade Mountain Spirit Vein, and secondly, Liang Song was a handsome young man with considerable cultivation, making him a leading figure among the young generation of the Jade Mountain Spirit Vein!

In the eyes of her father and even the entire Yao family, this was a rare and ideal match!

For the Yao family and Yao Zhiqing personally, this was undoubtedly so!

Yao Zhiqing had expressed her opposition, but her father, Yao Yu, had said just one sentence:

"Give me a reason!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Zhiqing genuinely couldn't find a reason!

Liang Song couldn't be faulted for his family background, personal appearance, or level of cultivation!

Even if he was somewhat arrogant, it was normal and even a virtue for a martial artist!

In dealing with elders, he was rather polite and considerate!

Therefore, Yao Zhiqing simply couldn't find a suitable reason to convince her father!

But the fact is, she really didn't want to marry this seemingly perfect man!

Moreover, after Su Chen spoke to her hours ago, identifying Liang Song as that masked man from that night, she was even more reluctant!

Afterwards, she found an opportunity to observe Liang Song closely. Previously, she hadn't considered that possibility, but upon Su Chen's reminder, she discovered that their build and height really did match!

Their eyebrows and eyes also bore some similarity!

Although she was confused and nearly subconscious at the time, she still managed to stay relatively clear-headed for a period previously!

As such, she became even more unwilling! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Even if that masked man wasn't him, she was still extremely unwilling!

Moreover, there was a possibility he was, and likely was, based on her observations!

Secondly, that young man didn't seem to have any reason to lie to her!

Considering all this, Yao Zhiqing's feelings at this time could be easily imagined!

She did intend to investigate the truth of that matter before discussing it with her father. After all, such matters couldn't be spoken irresponsibly!

But now...

...

What she didn't know was that this was because Liang Qun had approached her father this afternoon to finalize the marriage between the two!

In the afternoon, the two had a discussion in the study, and after Liang Qun's persuasion, Yao Yu agreed because Yao Yu had already approved of Liang Song as a choice!

This didn't mean Yao Yu didn't care about his daughter, quite the contrary; he cared deeply, believing Liang Song would be a good match for his daughter, which is why he agreed!

After all, Liang Song had the looks, the family background, and the ability. What more could one ask for in a son-in-law?

Moreover, marrying into the Liang family offered enormous benefits to the Yao family, something Yao Yu, as the Family Head of the Yao family, had to consider!

Combining the two factors, Yao Yu's agreement was natural, without having consulted his daughter!

Su Chen did notice Yao Zhiqing's pale face and shook his head slightly!

However, he didn't interfere with the family's affairs, as that was their business and her father was present. It wasn't his place to meddle!

Besides, he had already told her everything he should, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

...

"I do not agree!"

At this moment, a calm but firm voice rang out!
