Chapter 523: 476 Liang Liang Xiu Yan [1 More]_2 Chapter 523: 476 Liang Liang Xiu Yan [1 More]_2 At this point, those who had thought about leaving began to hesitate again.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the engagement ceremony started.

After watching Miss Xiu Yan and Ji Yundong exchange engagement rings, Old Master Xiu finally revealed a smile.

He was convinced that with so many media present, the Nie Family and Mu Family wouldn’t let him and the entire Xiu Family lose face over someone like Xiu Yu.

No matter what, Xiu Yu was just a junior, and the Xiu Family had many members.

In his younger days, he had been close to Mu Heqing and Old Master Nie.

Would the Mu Family and Nie Family really tear their faces with him in public over a junior like her?

That would surely only happen in private.

Just then, a deep voice rang out, not loud but ensuring everyone could hear.

Fu Yunshen raised his eyes slightly, his lips curling into a smile, “Hold on, I have a question.”

In an instant, all eyes and cameras focused on the man.

The media had also noticed Fu Yunshen’s presence.

To them, Venus Corporation was definitely more explosive than the Xiu Family.

“President Fu, are you here to attend Miss Xiu Yan and Young Master Ji Yundong’s engagement party?” A bold media person passed the microphone, “Do you have any blessings for the couple?”

Fu Yunshen clasped his hands together, turned his head upon hearing the question, and asked quite earnestly, “Who is Xiu Yan?”

“…”

The hall fell into dead silence.

Xiu Yan’s smile froze on her face, her complexion turning paler by the second.

“You don’t know Miss Xiu Yan?” After the shock, the media continued to ask, “Could it be that you came here to…”

“Xiu Yu is a good friend of Young Master Nie Chao, and that’s why I came,” Fu Yunshen’s gaze slowly drifted to Old Master Xiu, “So you’re saying–the Xiu Family tricked me under the pretense of a welcome party for Miss Xiu Yu? Hmm?”

Old Master Xiu’s face changed.

Ji Yiyuan was also taken aback; he abruptly looked at Old Master Xiu, his eyes growing dark.

It turned out that he had been deceived too.

Old Master Xiu hadn’t mentioned anything about a welcome party to him.

“It seems the Xiu Family has fooled me,” Fu Yunshen chuckled, his tone gentle, “That’s kind of nice.”

“President Fu, it’s a misunderstanding,” Old Master Xiu had to speak up, bowing his head to a younger man, “There is also a welcome party for Xiao Yu, right after Xiao Yan’s engagement party. As my granddaughters, how could I show favoritism?”

“Is that so?” Fu Yunshen stood up and smoothed his clothes, his voice cold, “From now on, if Miss Xiu Yu is not the one handling the affairs of the Xiu Family, Venus Corporation and all its products under my management will not cooperate with the Xiu Family.”

“Unless, Miss Xiu Yu asks personally.”

No sooner had he spoken than everyone in the hall was astounded.

Aside from Yun Shan, only Nie Chao knew that his brother, who always pretended to be a prodigal, was actually the Executive Director of Venus Corporation.

That statement had effectively cut off all ties between the Xiu Family and the entire Venus Corporation.

Fu Yunshen left the hall.

With his departure, Nie Chao, of course, was not going to stay any longer.

The nobles of the capital weighed the combined influence of the Xiu Family and Ji Family and found it could not compare to that of Venus Corporation, so they chose to leave.

Once the media had captured the news they wanted, they also left in droves.

In a matter of minutes, three-quarters of the banquet hall emptied.

Those who remained were parts of the Xiu Family and the elders who were on good terms with Xiu Yan.

“A fake will always be fake; a bastard girl pretending to be a lady of wealth–how pathetic,” a grandly dressed woman stepped forward, glancing at the pale-faced Xiu Yan and clicked her tongue, “Looks really pitiful.”

Old Master Xiu, upon hearing this while still enraged, finally exploded, “Xiu Shaowan!”

Xiu Shaowan was Xiu Shaoning’s sister from the same parents, hence Xiu Yu’s aunt.

“Auntie, let me take you for a drive,” Xiu Yu pulled the woman along, “I’ve just bought a new car, it’s really nice.”

Xiu Shaowan, not giving Old Master Xiu any face, left with Xiu Yu.

The engagement party had turned into a joke.

No matter how much Xiu Yan could endure, she was aggrieved to the point of crying out, “Grandfather…”

“Elder Nie, what is this supposed to mean?” Ji Yiyuan’s face darkened, “Were all these people not here for Yundong’s fiancee?”

It was a slap in the face, loud and clear.

When had he ever borne such contempt?

The more Ji Yiyuan thought about it, the angrier he became, “If that’s the case, this fiancee–we, Yundong, will not want her.”

Ji Yundong, more concerned with his reputation than Ji Yiyuan, took off the engagement ring and threw it on the ground.
