I am Peerless Mad

Chapter 296 Huangfu Weixia's Account

The banquet hall, filled with festive cheer, fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was the Huangfu family and the Wei family, or the guests who had come to attend the engagement ceremony today, everyone looked at Huangfu Weixia with shock!

This engagement ceremony, hailed as the grandest in Donghai for decades, was for Huangfu Weixia and Wei Qianyuan!

At this moment, all the prominent figures from the Dragon Triangle had arrived, waiting for the engagement ceremony to begin. Yet, after Huangfu Weixia appeared, she wanted to go eat elsewhere with Jiang Wuming and his companions.

How could this not shock everyone?!

Even Jiang Wuming was somewhat shocked.

Although Huangfu Weixia had said on the phone that she would give him an explanation today, he hadn't expected her to do something like this.

"Weixia, don't be ridiculous!"

The silence in the banquet hall was immediately broken as Huangfu Qing stood up, his face ashen, and reprimanded Huangfu Weixia.

He assumed Huangfu Weixia had overheard the conversation in the banquet hall from outside and, feeling indignant on behalf of Jiang Wuming, was acting out of spite by deciding to leave with Jiang Wuming and his companions.

"Ridiculous?"

Huangfu Weixia laughed, her smile filled with anger and self-mockery. "If this is ridiculous, then what are all the things you've done?"

Swish!

Huangfu Qing's expression changed instantly!

He widened his eyes, looking at Huangfu Weixia with unease: Did Weixia know everything?

Swish swish swish...

At the same time, gazes fell upon Huangfu Qing.

Apart from the core members of the Huangfu and Wei families, everyone in the banquet hall turned their attention to Huangfu Qing.

Even Qin Linhai and Chu Wansong looked at Huangfu Qing with surprise!

At this moment, through Huangfu Weixia's words, they deduced that this marriage and engagement ceremony were not consensual, and there was something fishy about it.

"Weixia, I know you highly respect Master Wuming, and Master Wuming saved your life. Therefore, I can understand your feelings of anger about what just happened, but you cannot act impulsively, or the uncles and elders present will laugh at you..."

Facing the questioning gazes, Huangfu Qing, after a moment of panic, appeared remarkably calm.

"Dad, you really know how to play dumb when you're in the know!"

Huangfu Weixia interrupted Huangfu Qing unceremoniously.

Hmm?

Hearing Huangfu Weixia's words again, those from the Huangfu and Wei families, as well as the guests who were unaware of the inside story, became even more convinced of their judgment.

As for Huangfu Qing, he was now completely certain that Huangfu Weixia had learned everything, including how he had used Jiang Wuming as a pawn to create a misunderstanding between Jiang Wuming and Huangfu Weixia, and then step by step lured Huangfu Weixia into agreeing to this marriage!

"Weixia, I will apologize to Master Wuming right now!"

After confirming that his daughter knew everything, Huangfu Qing panicked internally. However, being experienced in the business world, his psychological resilience was much stronger than that of ordinary people.

As before, he did not reveal his inner emotions on his face and made a decisive choice – to apologize to Jiang Wuming!

Even though he knew that doing so might displease Ye Wentao, Ye Rui, and the Wang Lin and Wang Zhisheng father-son duo, he had to make a choice at this point!

Otherwise, if Huangfu Weixia left and the engagement ceremony could not proceed, or even if the engagement was canceled, the guests present today would inevitably develop grievances against the Huangfu and Wei families.

Furthermore, the Huangfu and Wei families would become a laughingstock in Donghai, the Dragon Triangle, and even the entire Dragon Country!

More importantly, the Huangfu family would completely offend the Wei family, turning them from in-laws into enemies!

"I am very sorry, Master Wuming, for my poor hospitality that has caused you displeasure!"

After making his decision, Huangfu Qing, without waiting for Huangfu Weixia to speak again, immediately said to Jiang Wuming, "I solemnly and sincerely invite you once again to stay and attend the engagement ceremony of Weixia and Qianyuan. If you are unwilling to stay, I will invite you separately another day..." Da Feng Novel Network

"Enough!"

"Dad, I am formally telling you now, the engagement ceremony today will not proceed, nor should it have! And the so-called engagement, it should not exist!"

Seeing Huangfu Qing, who had previously treated Jiang Wuming with special consideration, suddenly change his tune and apologize to Jiang Wuming in a low and submissive manner, Huangfu Weixia's anger did not diminish but rather intensified. She angrily interrupted Huangfu Qing again and stated her attitude with resolute determination.

"Uh..."

Hearing Huangfu Weixia's words again, the guests were stunned once more.

Even though they had already realized something was amiss with this marriage earlier and had vaguely guessed that today's engagement ceremony would not go smoothly, they were still left speechless by Huangfu Weixia's definitive statement.

Jiang Wuming's heart stirred. Gazing at the resolute Huangfu Weixia, a strange emotion filled him – this was the explanation Huangfu Weixia wanted to give him!

Meanwhile, Wei Qianyuan and the Wei family looked as if they had eaten something foul, their expressions extremely unpleasant, and their hearts filled with rage.

However, despite their anger, none of the Wei family members, including Wei Qianyuan, spoke at this moment. Instead, they let the Huangfu family handle this matter themselves.

The Huangfu family members, while shocked, were also anxious – they knew very well the consequences if the engagement ceremony and the engagement were canceled!

"We... Weixia, do you know what you are doing?!"

Huangfu Qing became anxious. He could no longer maintain his composure and exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!

"I know very well what I am doing. And you know very well why I am doing it," Huangfu Weixia said seriously.

"—"

Huangfu Qing, with a guilty conscience, was rendered speechless, his face extremely grim.

"Weixia, some things you can be willful about, and some you cannot. Your marriage to Qianyuan was arranged by me and your Grandpa Wei. This is not just about the two of you; it's about two families!"

Just then, Grandpa Huangfu also stood up. He looked straight at Huangfu Weixia and spoke slowly, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "No matter how angry you may be, I will not allow you to cancel this engagement on an impulse!"

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, you cannot make decisions for me – my marriage, my life, I decide for myself!"

Huangfu Weixia met Grandpa Huangfu's gaze without fear and responded in a deep voice.

Grandpa Huangfu's face changed with anger, and his body trembled. For a moment, he was at a loss for how to respond to Huangfu Weixia.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yingjun quickly stood up and said, "Weixia, don't make any more trouble!"

"Huangfu Yingjun, you'd better shut your mouth, or I don't mind settling old and new scores with you!" Huangfu Weixia glared at Huangfu Yingjun coldly.

"Huangfu Weixia, you are going too far!"

"Yes, you can't let your personal desires affect the family!"

"Do you know how much effort your grandfather put into nurturing you? How much resources the family provided?!"

This time, as soon as Huangfu Weixia finished speaking, the elder members of the Huangfu family stood up one after another, accusing Huangfu Weixia. At the same time, they were playing the emotional card, trying to persuade Huangfu Weixia not to change her mind.

Huangfu Weixia did not respond.

"Huangfu Weixia, do you want to be a sinner of the family?!"

Seeing that Huangfu Weixia was impervious to persuasion and appeared resolute, Grandpa Huangfu also became angry!

"Sinner?"

Huangfu Weixia laughed again.

This time, her laughter was filled with sadness.

After a laugh, she took a few steps forward and bowed deeply to all the guests.

"Dear uncles and elders, the engagement ceremony today will not proceed. I apologize for wasting your valuable time."

Immediately, Huangfu Weixia's voice echoed again in the silent banquet hall.

The girl responded to Grandpa Huangfu with her actions.

She was willing to become a sinner of the Huangfu family in order to give Jiang Wuming an explanation!
