Chapter 690 Is this still happening?
Ye Yan's voice rang out faintly: "You've almost torn my clothes to pieces!"
Judy was startled and almost frightened, and hurriedly let go of Ye Yan.
"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."
She was very embarrassed. She was indeed a little nervous just now.
Especially when she thought about the honor of entering the real power center of the Holy Island today and sitting with those big shots, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Judy took a deep breath and comforted herself secretly.
"I'm the daughter of the Zhu family, the heir chosen by my grandfather, and the future head of Shennong Pharmaceuticals. What big scenes have I not seen?"
"It's just a party, why should you be so nervous?"
After calming down, she put on a decent smile again and walked forward with Ye Yan.
The passage leading to the inner hall is about twenty meters long.
Every few meters, there is a powerful warrior standing on each side, which shows how strict the security measures here are.
Not to mention ordinary people, even a master would not be able to force his way in.
When he entered the inner hall, Ye Yan felt as if a new world had appeared after a dark period.
Although the layout of the inner hall is not so luxurious, it has a classical beauty and the air is filled with the scent of sandalwood.
And this is not an ordinary banquet.
At first glance, some fierce-looking men, some covered with scars and tattoos, were actually sitting together drinking tea.
This feeling is so awkward.
What surprised Ye Yan was that there were not too many people in the inner hall, with only eight tables in total.
This is not to say that there are fewer people in the Guan Gong Society.
It’s just that Manlong’s status is too high, and he has been living in seclusion behind the scenes. The only ones who come to attend the birthday party are the leaders who hold real power in the guild.
For example, the leaders of some branches and the leaders of various halls.
Ye Yan was also unfamiliar with these people, and he subconsciously looked for Liao Feifan and Man Long.
But at this time, another shrill voice was heard.
"Zhang Ye! You're truly haunting me. How did you get here?"
Ye Yan's mouth twitched. The real ghost who was lingering around was this woman, right?
He didn't expect to meet Hua Xiuqiong here.
Logically speaking, with Hua Xiuqiong's identity, she is not qualified to enter the inner hall!
Like the Zhu family, only old man Hua Yingxiong from the Hua family can get the invitation.
Even if Hua Yingxiong gave the invitation to Hua Xiuqiong, a little girl like her would not be qualified to sit here.
"Xiuqiong, is this some kind of divine doctor called Wu Chang? He's the one who, under the guise of repaying a favor, tricked your grandfather into arranging a marriage for you?"
Hua Xiuqiong was sitting at table number eight in the inner hall, which was also the last seat.
As soon as Ye Yan and Judy came in, they had to pass by here.
Sitting next to her was a middle-aged woman covered in jewels and gems, and she looked somewhat similar to Hua Xiuqiong.
Or rather, Hua Xiuqiong is somewhat similar to her.
Hua Xiuqiong wrinkled her nose and complained, "That's right, Mommy, it's this kid! You weren't home yesterday, so you didn't see how shameless he was!"
"Grandpa is so old and confused that he actually forced me to agree to this marriage! Let me be frank, I would rather die than marry this country bumpkin!"
The middle-aged woman, Hua Xiuqiong's mother, Gao Mingyue, looked Ye Yan up and down with a critical eye.
"He really doesn't deserve you! My precious daughter deserves the best!"
As she spoke, she frowned and scolded Ye Yan in a disgusted tone.
"We, the Hua family, are deeply grateful to you for treating my father-in-law. But I will never acknowledge the engagement!"
"You name your price, take my money, leave Holy Island, and never appear in front of my daughter again!"
Ye Yan was so angry that he almost laughed.
Do you really think he cares about that crappy engagement?
However, after meeting Hua Xiuqiong's mother today, he finally understood why Hua Xiuqiong had no resemblance to her grandfather Hua Yingxiong.
It turns out that her temperament and character were inherited from her mother.
Ye Yan shook his head helplessly: "You think too much, I won't acknowledge that engagement."
"But you have to pay me to get rid of me. Senior Hua Yingxiong, do you know that?"
Gao Mingyue frowned, but said with great force: "Are you threatening me with the old man? Don't blame me for not warning you. Even the old man won't refute my decision!"
"Especially when it comes to my daughter's lifelong affairs, only I, as a mother, can make the decision!"
Ye Yan wanted to say something, but Judy stood up and saluted Gao Mingyue.
"Aunt, please calm down. I think you've misunderstood. In fact, Zhang Ye is now my fiancé, and our engagement has been recognized by my grandfather."
"From now on, I promise that Zhang Ye will not have anything to do with Xiuqiong anymore!"
Gao Mingyue was stunned and subconsciously looked at Hua Xiuqiong.
"Really? Is there still such a thing?"
Hua Xiuqiong snorted coldly, "Mommy, do you see how shameless this kid is? He relies on treating Grandpa Zhu and now he's pestering Zhu Di!"
"But even so, Grandpa warned me that my marriage cannot be cancelled..."
"Grandpa, that old fool, is he really planning to let the two of us share one husband? If this news gets out, how will I live my life in the future?"
"So no matter what, that damn engagement must be canceled!"
Gao Mingyue glared at Hua Xiuqiong.
"You are a lady from a noble family, be careful with your words! Don't be disrespectful!"
Then, she looked at Judy with a strange look.
"Although I don't know why you made this decision, I would like to wish you all the best."
"Here's a check for 10 million. Zhang Ye and Hua Xiuqiong's engagement is off! Tell him to tell the old man that it was he who took the initiative to cancel the engagement!"
"You two should leave here quickly. This is not the place for you. Be careful not to cause trouble for the Zhu family!"
