It was probably because the spirit was too exhausted, or the beanbag sofa was too comfortable. After a while, Mu Qianlan fell asleep.

Just when one foot was pulled into the dreamland by Duke Zhou, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the whole person woke up, opened his eyes, and slowly moved over to open the door.

Unexpectedly, she saw He Chengze.

After a short breath, I saw my father, mother and sister behind me.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" He Chengze's face turned dark. He called someone for 5 minutes, but no one answered.

Seeing that the light in her room was on, she went in and knocked on the door. Fortunately, the Mu family had seen him when they proposed marriage last time.

Mu Qianlan moved her lips, "It's muted."

"Lan Lan, you are..." Mu Baotong looked at the two people's clothes and asked in surprise.

"Well, Cheng Ze and I are going to a dinner party." Mu Qianlan smiled, trying to be as normal as possible, so as not to let Mu Baotong see that something was wrong.

Going to the engagement banquet today, although Mu Qianlan wanted Mu Baotong to see her engagement with her own eyes, but thinking of the various situations that might arise today, Mu Qianlan felt that it was better not to go.

It would be the best if you got engaged successfully, but if you didn't get engaged, wouldn't the entire Mu family lose face?
Thinking of this, Mu Qianlan decisively gave up the idea of ​​telling Mu Baotong the truth.

He Chengze watched from the side, but didn't say anything, just sighed in his heart.

When the two got into the car, He Chengze started the car and asked, "Uncomfortable?" The concern was clearly audible.

"No, I thought you wouldn't come." It's seven past five now.

The engagement banquet has already begun, and this man just arrived.

"Something happened on the way, so it was delayed." He Chengze explained.

She knew that Mu Qianlan would not trust her too much, but she never expected that she would not trust her to this extent.

She was only a few minutes late, and Mu Qianlan even thought it was because he wasn't coming.

"What are you worried about?"

Mu Qianlan's heart skipped a beat, she pursed her lips, and said directly, "I ran into Ren Ruman when I was shopping a few days ago, and she said that her engagement banquet is today."

"I'm thinking, when my interests conflict with Ren Ruman's, who are you more likely to favor?"

Tonight, no matter what, there will be someone who will lose face, either her or Ren Ruman.

In her previous life, she was never the one who was firmly chosen, but Ren Ruman was. In this life, it is impossible for her to give up Ren Ruman just thinking why Chengze would choose her firmly.

"Since you are worried, why didn't you tell me two days ago?" He Chengze felt more helpless in his heart.

If Mu Qianlan could talk to him about this matter, he would find a way to dispel the worry and uncertainty in Mu Qianlan's heart.

But he didn't tell her, and He Chengze didn't know until today that the women around him didn't trust him so deeply, and they had been worried these days.

Angry and distressed.

"The engagement banquet has already begun, and I am here now, leaving behind the entire banquet hall, Lan Lan, if I really want to make you lose face, I don't have to do it, I can definitely let Song Yuan come to pick you up .”

Mu Qianlan shrugged.

Who knows, she will never know what He Chengze is thinking until the last moment, because she has never understood this man.

Sighing, she knew what Mu Qianlan was thinking, so she didn't say anything more.

On the other side, in the magnificently decorated banquet hall, people from all walks of life in the business and political circles, who usually only appeared on TV, gathered together.

Both men and women are well-dressed, with smiles on their faces, and the exchange of toasts is the initial formation of policies and cooperation one after another.

At seven o'clock, all the guests arrived, and the engagement banquet officially began, but the leading actor did not appear at this time.

"Where are people!" In the rest room at the back, He Mingzhi was furious, looking at Song Yuan with eyes that wanted to swallow people alive.

"Mr. He, Mr. He has gone to pick up someone." From these two addresses, it can be seen which side Song Yuan is on.

Song Yuan was an assistant brought out by He Chengze, not arranged by He Mingzhi, since he would not be ordered by He Mingzhi.

Li Yun patted He Mingzhi on the back quickly, giving He Mingzhi a little comfort, while looking at Song Yuan.

"Song Yuan, hurry up and contact Cheng Ze. Who can be more important than Manman on this occasion? This is their engagement banquet, which is only once in a lifetime."

Song Yuan raised his head, sympathizing with the two in front of him.

They didn't know the person their son really liked, and even after organizing the engagement banquet for so long, they still paved the wedding dress for others.

"It is precisely because this is the only time in a lifetime that Master He needs to pick someone up."

Because there is only such an engagement in a lifetime, the heroine must be present.

"What do you mean?" Both He Mingzhi and Li Yun could hear something was wrong.

"Uncle and aunt, please don't be angry. It may be that Brother Chengze encountered something on the road? Linhai City is often stuck in traffic." Ren Ruman comforted him beside him.

Song Yuan glanced at the gentle and generous man, and still reminded, "If Miss Ren repents now, there is still time, Master He will be there in 10 minutes."

"What do you regret? I will never regret being able to get engaged to brother Chengze!"

The firmness in his tone left Song Yuan speechless.

Now it is not a question of whether she can get engaged to He Chengze, but a question of whether He Chengze will definitely not get engaged to her, and whether she should pick up her own face before then.

But obviously, Ren Ruman didn't have this cognition.

That being the case, then this matter can only be carried out according to the plan, and Ren Ruman will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Linhai City by then.

Although the Ren family and the He family have always been called two major families, their strengths are naturally equal.

It had been 10 minutes since the engagement banquet started, but the leading actor still wasn't there, and the guests all started whispering to each other, discussing what went wrong.

Ren Ruman bit her lower lip, "Uncle and aunt, let me go out and explain first, otherwise the guests should stop thinking about it."

"Okay, you go." He Mingzhi patted Ren Ruman's shoulder, "I have wronged you."

"Don't be wronged, getting engaged to brother Chengze is my lifelong pursuit."

Ren Ruman didn't feel wronged, but neither Ren Zhengrong nor Fang Huilin looked very good.

How could they endure their daughter being treated so humiliated?
"Manman, let's go back." Fang Huilin said directly.

What else could He Chengze do at this time, Fang Huilin's first thought was Mu Qianlan.

If she was He Chengze, she would probably prefer to choose Mu Qianlan.

So at this time, the best way is to let my daughter stop this idea.

"Mother-in-law..." Li Yun frowned, "Let's call Cheng Ze now and ask him to come over as soon as possible, and Song Yuan also said that he will be there in 10 minutes, let's wait. This matter is indeed ours. It was wrong, and we will apologize afterwards."

"No need, let's go back first. As for the mother-in-law, I don't know if I can become the in-law." Fang Huilin smiled generously, but when she said it, people didn't know what to say.
