Chapter 739 Engagement Gunfight (2)
As soon as Pei Yuanzhi’s words were spoken, all the guests present were stunned.
The words of the Xuanjin Speaker were not just for show - once a person has been in a high position for a long time, each sentence, each word, is carefully considered before being spoken. Even a joke carries deep meaning.
It wasn’t that the guests actually believed Pei Yuanzhi would compete with the Gu Family for a granddaughter-in-law, but his statement, which was an unabashed expression of admiration and affection for An Yiqing, to the extent of wanting to take her into his family, revealed just how much he appreciated her!
It appeared that the title of First Miss of Xuandu City was not unwarranted for An Yiqing; she outshone Second Miss Guh, Guh Siqing, by more than just a little. With just a few words, she had made both Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi utterly obedient. Who else had such ability?
Feeling the shift in the gaze of those around them, both Elder An and Old Master Gu smiled with deep meaning.
After briefly and warmly exchanging pleasantries with Hua Zhifeng and Pei Yuanzhi, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin left.
The engagement ceremony had to continue. The ritual had been completed, and now it was time for the toasts.
Among the attendees, An Zisheng, as a representative of the bride’s family, and Gu Weijun, on behalf of the groom’s family, began leading Gu Yelin and An Yiqing from table to table, holding their cups high to accept blessings from everyone present.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually began to rise, with glasses clinking and laughter intermingling. Regardless of whether one had been on good terms or not in the past, everyone wore a smiling face today, creating an exceptionally harmonious environment.
While everyone was engaged in lively conversation and hearty laughter, suddenly, a series of deafening gunshots rang out from outside the hall, followed by many screams of panic!
