The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 253 - 251: Qin Wentian Lowers His Head

At this moment, the hall had been fully arranged, with all the elite families of Qingshan City gathered together today.

The Wang Family, Cheng Family, Qin Family, Fang Group, Zhao Family, Ye Mansion, and even rising companies like Lin Yuhan’s had received invitations.

Fang Zhenwu was in the front hall, representing Mr. Ye, entertaining the guests.

Meanwhile, most of the Chen Family members were on the second floor of the hotel, with the women busy dressing up Chen Xinrou, supported by a full team of professional makeup and stylists on site.

However, in such a bustling and highly anticipated moment, the groom-to-be Mr. Ye was nowhere to be seen.

Patriarch Chen sat in a lounge on the second floor, watching the guests below as Fang Zhenwu greeted and conversed, but his brow was tightly furrowed.

As the bride’s family in the engagement, they, the Chen Family, had already lowered their posture considerably. Even in ordinary families, the bride’s family wouldn’t need to manage the wedding arrangements, let alone a family like the Chen Family, which was so prominent in Qingshan City.

But Mr. Ye’s status was too special, and indeed, the Chen Family was reaching higher through this arranged marriage with him.

Yet, despite them nearly delivering their daughter directly to Mr. Ye, he was still absent from this vital occasion.

Chen Yuanzhi’s expression was slightly heavy. After deliberating for a moment, he said, "Father, since Mr. Ye hasn’t arrived yet, should I go and ask Young Master Fang?"

Patriarch Chen gently shook his head, saying, "Forget it. Mr. Ye always has the habit of arriving just on time. Let’s wait patiently."

After he finished speaking, a hint of bitterness lingered in his heart. This marriage alliance, no matter how low their stance had been, was inconsequential. The powerful always has the upper hand. To secure this connection with Mr. Ye, face or formalities could easily be tossed aside.

Time ticked on, and all the invited guests arrived one after another. The engagement party site was managed solely by Fang Zhenwu.

The hotel hall was bustling with all of Qingshan City’s elite families. Attendees were well accustomed to such events, gathering with a few familiar faces to exchange pleasantries, keeping the atmosphere quite lively.

However, beneath the surface, everyone pondered silently.

An engagement party where the groom’s delayed arrival only leaves someone else to greet guests — what’s the reasoning?

The Chen Family members were anxious like ants on a hot pan; even the composed Patriarch Chen couldn’t hold back, quietly asking Fang Zhenwu, "Young Master Fang, Mr. Ye he..."

Fang Zhenwu responded with a gentle smile, saying, "Uncle Chen, don’t worry. This engagement party is Mr. Ye’s decision. He’s just not fond of such social occasions, so he’ll be a bit late."

Hearing this explanation, Patriarch Chen felt somewhat relieved.

Nonetheless, Fang Zhenwu had sufficient sway. With him entertaining the elite families, he effortlessly managed the event.

The hall was filled with toasts and laughter as Fang Zhenwu navigated amidst praise, handling everything with ease.

At this moment, Qin Hao entered!

Immediately, as though a star had arrived, he grabbed everyone’s attention!

"Mr. Ye is here!"

"Look, it’s Mr. Ye!"

"Indeed, Mr. Ye has such charisma, truly a standout among men!"

Whispers and praises filled the room, and Mr. Ye instantly became the focus the moment he stepped in.

Qin Hao’s gaze swept over the guests without stopping, walking straight through the crowd towards the front.

The crowd parted for him, and as he passed by, everyone lowered their gaze and greeted Mr. Ye.

As soon as Mr. Ye appeared, it became a spectacle of elite families seeking favor and smaller factions showing deference. These sights made others look at Patriarch Chen with growing envy.

Such a prominent husband was a sheer boon for the Chen Family. With Mr. Ye’s support, their ascent was already a foreseeable event.

Fang Zhenwu noticed Qin Hao the moment he entered, promptly signaling, and then walked to the center of the hall.

Today, Mr. Ye was still clad in black, as he always appeared on such occasions, not specifically changing into formal attire for the engagement party.

But no one took issue with this. Someone like Mr. Ye, whose power and status overshadow everything, whatever he did was seen as unique by these people.

Strength often justifies eccentricities, and flattering admirers could often excuse them, celebrating them as genuine traits.

Chen Xinrou stood by her father’s side, listening to the surrounding praises, her pretty face flushed with color.

Ultimately, she fulfilled her wish, marrying a peerless hero.

Her heart was sweet enough to melt, her eyes shimmering, all her soft gaze directed at Mr. Ye’s tall and slim figure.

Fang Zhenwu soon stood side by side with Mr. Ye in the center of the hall. The guests gathered around, with the Chen Family patriarch and his daughter waiting at the top of the staircase, taking a deep breath, anticipating their grand entrance.

Fang Zhenwu, seeing all eyes focused on where they were, stepped slightly forward, smiling as he announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the engagement party of Mr. Ye and the young Miss Chen Xinrou of the Chen Family."

"First of all, on behalf of Fang Group and Mr. Ye, welcome and thank you all for coming!"

The guests all nodded and smiled, and light applause filled the hall.

Everyone stepped forward, offering gifts and blessings, with congratulatory words and flattery for Mr. Ye continuously heard in the hall.

Many small companies and families squeezed forward, hoping to catch Mr. Ye’s attention. Qin Hao showed no interest in these proceedings, remaining unmoved, leaving it to Fang Zhenwu to handle the formalities and mundanities.

Qin Wentian, biting his teeth in the crowd, finally made up his mind, carrying a valuable gift as he stepped forward.

"Mr. Ye, on behalf of the Qin Family, I congratulate you on your joyous engagement day, wishing you and your beloved eternal happiness."

"This gift is both a congratulatory gesture from the Qin Family and an expression of my apology."

Qin Wentian’s posture was incredibly humble, almost completely bowing as he continued with a genial smile to Mr. Ye: "Regarding the past, it was the Qin Family’s shortsightedness. I hope you will be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones, allowing time to wash away past grievances."
