A smile flashed across Shi Yuan's deep eyes. He took a step forward and stood in front of Old Master Shi. His attitude was very pious and his tone was very respectful.

"Grandpa, Uncle Wei, my eldest brother must have run away from his marriage. The people who came today are all well-known and important people, and Uncle Tang is also here. If the engagement party cannot be held, the consequences will be something neither of our families is willing to bear. The solution now is for me to get engaged to Miss Wei on behalf of my eldest brother and continue this engagement!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Ziyao happened to hear them. She quickly walked to the old man, looking anxious.

"Grandpa Shi, I don't agree. The person I want to be engaged to must be Shi Zhan!"

Old Man Shi was still thinking about Shi Yuan's suggestion, but was suddenly upset by Wei Ziyao's aggressive attitude.

Although he is old in body, his heart is not old.

Shi Zhan didn't love Wei Ziyao in the first place, and this was just for the sake of the marriage between the two families. Now, if he wanted the marriage to continue, he could only adopt Shi Yuan's opinion.

After all, he knew that Shi Yuan liked Wei Ziyao, but in this case, the financial resources of the Wei family might not be able to help Shi Zhan in the future.

Shi Yuan seemed to see through Mr. Shi's thoughts, so he said,

"Grandpa, I want to talk to you alone!"

Old Man Shi frowned and looked at him, nodding slightly.

After the two of them walked aside, Shi Yuan took Old Man Shi's arm and said attentively,

"Grandpa, you should know that I actually like Ziyao very much. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the courage to make such a suggestion. I know what Grandpa is thinking and worrying about. I am also a child of the Shi family. If Big Brother needs financial support in the future, I will definitely help him with all my strength."

Old Master Shi's eyes lit up and he looked at Shi Yuan meaningfully, thinking to himself, Shi Yuan is a really sensible child. If that's true, then why not?

If you don't agree, then the two families will have a rift, and then it will be difficult to get along with each other.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, Mr. Shi nodded solemnly to Shi Yuan.

"Yuan'er, you are really a good grandson of Grandpa. Very good, go and call your uncle Wei over, and I will talk to him about this."

"Okay, Grandpa!"

After Shi Yuan turned around, the smile on his face became very strange. He walked up to Wei Dingyun, also looking very obedient.

"Uncle Wei, grandpa asked you to pass!"

Wei Dingyun seemed to have thought of something. When he looked at Shi Yuan, he seemed to be willing to compromise.

Wei Ziyao frowned and said to Shi Yuan unkindly,

"Shi Yuan, stop dreaming. I will never get engaged to you!"

"Zi Yao, I think you know very well that there can be no mistakes in today's engagement party. This is no longer your personal engagement party, but a marriage between our entire Shi family and your entire Wei family. You and I can only follow the arrangements."

Shi Yuan's calm and composed attitude left Wei Ziyao speechless. She did understand, but she was really unwilling to accept it unless she could take responsibility for the consequences. However, she knew in her heart that she could not afford it at all!

After a while, Mr. Shi and Wei Dingyun seemed to have discussed it, and both of them looked relaxed.

When Wei Ziyao saw this, her heart instantly sank.

I heard my father's voice.

"Zi Yao, today's engagement party will be held as scheduled. Shi Yuan, you should also get ready. Later, the two of you will come out together to announce your engagement ceremony with our Zi Yao."

"Okay, Uncle Wei!"

Shi Yuan changed his words politely, which made Wei Dingyun feel instantly more comfortable, and the more he looked at Shi Yuan, the more he liked him.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Although Shi Zhan is the grandson that Grandpa Shi values ​​the most, to be honest, he still likes Shi Yuan more.

In Wei Dingyun's mind, as long as he could form an alliance with the Shi family and draw on their political power, some things would be much easier to handle. As for whether this person was Shi Zhan or Shi Yuan, he actually didn't care at all.

Wei Ziyao couldn't help it and wanted to fight for it again. She boldly pleaded with her father,

"Dad, can you wait for Shi Zhan a little longer? I'll go find him and I'll definitely bring him back!"

"How dare you! You are the heir of the Wei family, so you should act like an heir. Why are you so ignorant of the importance of things? Do you want to learn from your brother?"

Wei Dingyun sternly scolded Wei Ziyao, which made Wei Ziyao tremble all over. She was the heir of the Wei family, and her father's meaning was very clear. If she didn't listen to him, he would break up with her on the spot.

She knew her father very well and he would definitely do such a thing!

She quickly analyzed the situation. It was just an engagement. She could find a chance to cancel it later. It would be better to wait until this hurdle was over.

She immediately gave in, and her tone became very respectful, no longer as impetuous as before.

"Dad, I was confused just now. I know you made this decision for my own good. I will follow your arrangements."

Shi Yuan had been looking at her with a smile on his face. When she said this, it was within his expectations. He understood that Wei Ziyao would absolutely not be willing to give up her status as the heir of the Wei family.

Seeing that Wei Ziyao had already compromised, Mr. Shi was very considerate and said to Wei Dingyun,

"Dingyun, you have told me about the Haikou trade several times before. I think you are careful and conscientious in your work, so I feel relieved to leave it to you."

Wei Dingyun was shocked after hearing this, and even Wei Ziyao felt excited. If they could get the trading rights for Haikou trade, then what the Wei family wanted would be a natural thing.

At that moment, Wei Ziyao didn't care about what had just happened and immediately thanked Mr. Shi happily.

Wei Dingyun also followed suit to express his gratitude.

Mr. Shi was satisfied and said to Shi Yuan,

"Yuan'er, take Ziyao down with you and make preparations. The time is almost up."

Wei Ziyao cooperated very well and took Shi Yuan's arm and left.

When the two of them walked towards the private room upstairs, they were seen by Xiao Yiqing. He looked at their backs with doubts in his heart.

"What are these two doing?!"

Soon, when all the guests arrived, the host announced the male and female protagonists who would be appearing on the stage in a passionate and grand manner.

There was thunderous applause at the scene. When Shi Yuan and Wei Ziyao walked to the front of the stage, a small number of people were surprised why it was not Shi Zhan.

Among them was Song Shaojie. He looked at the two people on the stage in disbelief. Not seeing Shi Zhan, he muttered in his heart,

How is this going?

Where are the people?

Shi Zhan was on his way to the northern suburbs at this time. He looked at the time and felt that the engagement party should have been cancelled!

At this moment, a message from Song Shaojie came into my phone.

[Zhanzhan, what's going on? Where are you? Why is Shi Yuan the one you're engaged to?]

After seeing this news, Shi Zhan seemed to understand something in his heart. It seems that Wu Youyou’s kidnapping was related to his younger brother.
