Chapter 72

Shangguan Yanting doesn't believe in fate, he has always believed that man can conquer nature.But the relationship has already been arranged in the dark.If falling in love with Li Manrong is destined, then he is willing to accept it.

In the old house of Shangguan's family, Ouyang Yaqin stayed in the study, holding a yellowed photo in his hand.In the photo are three slightly green faces.A girl with ponytails sat on a chair with a smile on her face, raised her head happily, and looked at the sky.

And beside her stood two young guys, tall and handsome, one gave off a cold feeling, while the other was like warm sunshine.Their eyes fell on the girl one after another, with obvious smiles on their faces.

Gently stroking the figure in the photo, Ouyang Yaqin's eyes were clearly missing.Rubbing the boy who smiled gently with her fingertips, there was obvious obsession in her eyes.The emotion of liking can be easily discovered by others.

Just the next second, another scene appeared in her mind.A girl who appeared suddenly broke the balance of the three of them.Seeing the gentle boy gradually leave her and look at the girl with her gentle eyes, she felt jealous.

Fingertips gradually turned white, Ouyang Yaqin bit her lips tightly, her face was full of obvious hatred. "Qiuyue, don't even think about taking my man away again!" Ouyang Yaqin said word by word.

That kind of gaze seemed to swallow that person named Qiuyue alive.The servant stepped forward, knocked on the door, bent down, and said respectfully: "Madam, all the guests have already arrived."

After recovering from her thoughts, Ouyang Yaqin carefully collected the photos again and put them in a brocade box.He raised his head and said calmly, "Is everything ready?"

Nodding his head, the servant smiled and said: "Everything is ready, and it is all according to Madam's order. There is no mistake at all. The guests are already waiting downstairs. Madam, when will I come down to entertain you?"

Standing up, Ouyang Yaqin looked at herself still charming in the mirror, and said with a faint smile: "Well, I'm going down now. What about Yan Ting, have you called him? Today is my birthday, he shouldn't Will you come or not?"

"I've already called the young master, and the young master said that he is on his way. Madam is the person closest to the young master in this world. It's Madam's birthday, so why doesn't the young master come here?"

Proudly raising her chin, Ouyang Yaqin narrowed her eyes slightly.Today, she will take advantage of this good day to solve some things.Thinking of this, her eyes sparkled.

With her hands crossed in front of her body, and with graceful steps, Ouyang Yaqin walked slowly downstairs.With his hand on the railing of the stairs, there was a warm smile on his face.

Seeing her coming down, the guests who came to congratulate her greeted her with smiles: "Look, our birthday star is here. Mrs. Shangguan, happy birthday."

Ouyang Yaqin blended into those wealthy wives, and said with a smile on her face: "Thank you for coming today and celebrating for me. Everyone is playing to their heart's content. Those present are all my friends for many years. Don't be restrained."

A noble lady came to her and said flatteringly: "Mrs. Shangguan is really charming. All these years, the years have not left any traces on your face, which is really enviable. You are even more beautiful than some young girls. "

Hearing this, Ouyang Yaqin smiled from ear to ear, and said happily: "I'm old, and Mrs. Liu likes to make fun of me. I'm an old man, how dare I compare myself with those young girls."

Most of the people present today are the wives and young ladies of wealthy families, and there are only a few men.What everyone knows best is flattery.Immediately afterwards, everyone praised Ouyang Yaqin, and praised her to the sky.

Ouyang Yaqin came to Mrs. Qin's side and said enthusiastically, "Sister Yi, I'm so sorry that I just saw you now."

Mrs. Qin gave Ouyang Yaqin a hug, then presented her carefully prepared gift, and said with a smile: "Yaqin, this is a little thought from me. That girl Qin Zhen asked me to prepare it a long time ago. The limited-edition diamond necklace specially customized by the trustee is probably the only one in the world. Have a look and see if you like it."

After a brief glance, Ouyang Yaqin looked at Qin Zhen approvingly, and said, "Girl Qin Zhen is the one I like the most. I really like this girl more and more. When she marries into our Shangguan family in the future, I will definitely marry her." Love her well."

Hearing this, Qin Zhen lowered her head shyly, with a bright smile on her face.Mrs. Qin naturally understood her daughter's thoughts, and said kindly: "Our Qin Zhen has been sensible since she was a child. She cares about you more than she cares about my own mother. It really makes me jealous. By the way, how about Yan Ting? See you."

Just as he was talking, the door was opened.Immediately afterwards, a tall figure appeared at the entrance.As he entered the room, everyone's eyes fell on her. "Look, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here." Ouyang Yaqin greeted her with a smile.

Shangguan Yanting looked at Ouyang Yaqin, and handed her the gift prepared by the secretary: "Happy birthday." His words were as simple and clear as his own.

Ouyang Yaqin took the gift, took his hand, and said kindly: "Yan Ting, you can come, this is the best gift for mother."

Almost all the guests have arrived, and the banquet will begin soon.As Shangguan Yanting's mother, Ouyang Yaqin's banquet would naturally be grand.All the people present were well-known figures in Ludao City. Ouyang Yaqin specially invited famous performers and singers to join in the fun.

His expression was still indifferent, as if the excitement in front of him had nothing to do with him.Shangguan Yanting sat on his seat, watching all this calmly.Although he and Ouyang Yaqin depended on each other for life, they were not close.And what happened two years ago is also a reason.

Qin Zhen sat down beside him, and said gently: "Yan Ting, Auntie looks very happy today. In fact, Auntie is also very lonely, and you are her only support. Sometimes, I'd better come back and see more."

Glancing at her coolly, Shangguan Yanting's tone was as cold as a stranger's: "This is my family business." The implication is that she is just an outsider?
His face became pale, Qin Zhen's eyes flickered, and he said sadly: "Yan Ting, do you really hate me so much? Our marriage was arranged when my uncle was still alive. You... don't want to follow uncle mean?"

Shangguan Yanting was silent and pursed his lips.He naturally didn't want to go against his father's wishes, but let him marry a woman he didn't love...

Just as she was thinking, Ouyang Yaqin came to the two of them and signaled for everyone to be quiet.With a bright smile on her face, Ouyang Yaqin said slowly: "Today is a good day, thank you to all the guests, I am really grateful to you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party."

Saying that, Ouyang Yaqin bowed gracefully to everyone.Seeing this, there was a burst of applause.Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Yaqin put her hand on Yan Ting's shoulder and said with a smile: "My biggest wish all along is to see Yan Ting get married. So today, I want to make an official announcement."

Hearing this, Shangguan Yanting frowned.Before he could speak, he heard that Ouyang Yaqin was one step ahead of him: "When my master was alive, he always hoped that Yan Ting could marry Qin Zhen. I am his wife, so I will naturally fulfill his wish for him. So today I am solemnly Announce that Yan Ting and Qin Zhen will get engaged next month."

Before the end sound fell, overwhelming applause sounded enthusiastically.Immediately afterwards, everyone congratulated Shangguan Yanting and Qin Zhen.As the protagonist, Shangguan Yanting stood up and looked at Ouyang Yaqin expressionlessly.

Naturally aware of his displeasure, Ouyang Yaqin took Qin Zhen's hand, placed it on the back of Shangguan Yanting's, and said earnestly: "Yanting, this is not only your marriage, but also your father's unfulfilled wish. You have always been filial, so you definitely don't want your father to die in peace."

Seeing her move his father out, Shangguan Yanting frowned.As she said, he would not go against his father's will. "We'll talk about this later." Shangguan Yanting said coldly.

Mrs. Qin stepped forward and said agreeingly: "Yan Ting, you are not young anymore. The Shangguan Group has entered the right track and is developing better and better. What worries your father most now is your marriage. Yan Ting Ting, Yaqin is also thinking of you. Qin Zhen will be a good wife."

Looking at him shyly, Qin Zhen said shyly, "Yan Ting, I will be a qualified wife in the future."

Withdrawing his hand ruthlessly, Shangguan Yanting looked indifferent.Without the slightest bit of joy, without leaving any words, Shangguan Yanting turned and left.Seeing him leave without looking back, the guests present were talking in low voices.

Mrs. Qin looked embarrassed, and looked at Ouyang Yaqin anxiously.The latter smiled calmly and said with relief: "Miss Yi, don't be nervous. The child Yan Ting never knows how to express his feelings. He has always been filial and will not disobey his father's wishes."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Qin smiled with satisfaction: "That's good. Ever since we were young, we Qin Zhen have always regarded Yan Ting as a future husband. She likes Yan Ting very much."

Hearing Mrs. Qin's ridicule, Qin Zhen said coquettishly: "Mom... how can anyone say that about my daughter." And her heart was already full of joy.

Ouyang Yaqin looked around and said enthusiastically: "I hope that all relatives and friends present will be able to attend the engagement ceremony next month."

The guests readily agreed, and the banquet resumed a lively scene.Seeing all this, Ouyang Yaqin had a smug smile in her eyes.This is what she wanted. "Li Manrong, I will never let you take advantage of it!" Ouyang Yaqin said silently in her heart.

After leaving home, Shangguan Yanting stepped on the accelerator, and the car galloped quickly on the road.He was naturally unwilling to accept this marriage, but he didn't want to go against his father's wishes during his lifetime.Frowning tightly, his heart was full of irritability.
