Chapter 133 Qi Yue Shot Himself in the Foot
"Qi Huan, I do not agree to your engagement to Jiang Youli!"
This remark was so offensive that it immediately drew the attention of all the guests, who all turned to look at the man who had entered through the door.
Duan Jinghan, dressed in a beautifully tailored white suit and carrying a large bouquet of red roses, strode in amidst the gazes of the crowd.
Jiang Youli took the microphone from Qi Huan and said expressionlessly, "Duan Jinghan, get out of here. Do I need your permission to get engaged?"
Duan Jinghan looked at Jiang Youli with deep affection, his voice firm and resolute: "I won't leave unless you immediately cancel your engagement with Qi Huan!"
The guests below the stage continued to discuss among themselves:
"Isn't this Duan Jinghan, the young master of the Duan family who was recently found?"
"Yes, what happened?"
"It seems that the young master of the Duan family and the real daughter of the Jiang family have a past that no one knows about."
"Could it be that the two of them are still in contact privately? That young master Qi is really being cuckolded."
Duan Jinghan shouted, "Qi Huan, you are now just a man with crippled legs. Not only can you not walk normally, but you can't have children either! Marrying Jiang Youli is ruining her happiness for the rest of her life! If you still consider yourself a real man, then do what a man should do. Let go and let Jiang Youli pursue true happiness. I am the man who can give her true happiness!"
As Duan Jinghan spoke passionately, he walked towards the top of the stage.
The guests continued to whisper among themselves:
"Is the eldest young master of the Qi family really infertile?"
"I'm not sure, but rumors usually don't come out of nowhere."
"Then his hopes of becoming the heir of the Qi family are even slimmer. How could Old Master Qi possibly let an infertile grandson be his heir?"
Qi Huan glanced at Qi Yue, who was walking out from behind the curtain, her expression perfectly calm.
Zhang Susu, back at her reserved seat in the Jiang family compound, was furious at Duan Jinghan's sudden arrival and disruptive behavior. "Who invited this Duan family brat here!"
Jiang Yehan said with a deep look in his eyes, "It's obviously not You Li and Qi Huan. Someone must have deliberately tried to ruin the engagement banquet and let him in."
Zhang Susu cursed, "His heart is despicable!"
Jiang Xing and Jiang Yonghe exchanged glances, their eyes filled with triumphant smiles. It must have been Qi Yue's doing. Heh, this was just the appetizer; the real bombshell was yet to come!
Qin Yulian was about to clap her hands in approval. She glanced triumphantly at Zhang Susu and Jiang Yehan, who looked displeased across from her, and said, "Brother and sister-in-law, am I right? It seems that your Youli's engagement banquet today is indeed not going smoothly. Her ex-boyfriend has come to the scene to cause trouble. It's one thing to make a fool of himself at the Jiang family, but now he's even causing trouble at the Qi family."
Zhang Susu was already angry, and Qin Yulian was adding fuel to the fire. She was furious and retorted, "Qin Yulian, watch your mouth. You really can't learn the saying 'trouble comes from the mouth.' Do you have to completely ruin yourself before you'll stop?"
Qin Yulian, unable to bear the humiliation, cried out, "Zhang Susu, you..."
Jiang Yehan immediately defended his wife, saying, "Qin Yulian, are you saying that your husband Jiang Yangxu wasn't embarrassed enough in front of Chairman Zhou just now? Do you want to embarrass him even more tonight?"
Jiang Yangxu's face visibly darkened, and he glanced at his younger sister Jiang Li, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
If he hadn't believed Jiang Li's nonsense, he wouldn't have been so confident in going to see Jay Chou, only to be humiliated by Jay Chou in front of so many people!
Jiang Li felt uneasy seeing Jiang Yehan protecting Zhang Susu.
She used to look down on her eldest brother, thinking he was a good-for-nothing. As the eldest son of a wealthy family, he had no ambition and just liked to stay in his family's small plot of land. His wife was a barren hen, yet he refused to divorce her, thus delaying the continuation of the Jiang family line.
But now, looking at this scene before her, she was actually a little jealous that her sister-in-law had a good husband who would protect her no matter what.
What good is being rich and powerful?
If he's unwilling to protect you, all of this is just fleeting and meaningless!
Before Qi Huan on stage could react, Qi Yue, feigning concern, led two bodyguards toward Duan Jinghan and solemnly warned him:
"Young Master Duan, today is my brother's engagement banquet with Miss Jiang Youli. Although we don't know who invited you, since you're here, you're a guest of the Qi family. Please behave properly and find a seat."
Duan Jinghan withdrew his gaze and shouted back at Qi Yue, "Qi Yue, right? What are you pretending for? Didn't you personally give me the invitation to attend your brother and Jiang Youli's engagement banquet?"
Hearing this, Qi Yue, who was halfway there, paused, and the confident expression on his face cracked.
He never expected that Duan Jinghan would bring up this matter directly to his face!
What exactly is going on with Duan Jinghan?
The guests were in an uproar.
"What? What's going on now?"
"If Young Master Qi's own brother brought this person here, then what he just said was just an act of pretense and hypocrisy, wasn't it?"
"We're unsure of the situation, so let's wait and see."
Jiang Yonghe felt a knot in her heart. What kind of person was Qi Yue? If he wanted to use this young master of the Duan family to embarrass Jiang Youli, didn't he communicate with him beforehand?
Jiang Xing suddenly had a bad feeling. The plan hadn't even started yet, what if Qi Yue messed things up?
This is the Qi family's exclusive seating area.
Seeing the unexpected turn of events, Qi Feixue teased, "Qi Xiuyuan, it seems that another person in our Qi family has shot himself in the foot like you. But I don't understand, isn't Qi Yue Qi Huan's younger brother? If this young master from the Duan family was really hired by him to ruin the engagement banquet, what would he be after?"
Qi Xiuyuan, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "Qi Feixue, have you had enough? I only stumbled once because of Jiang Youli, do you have to keep bringing it up?"
Qi Feixue quickly raised her hand, "Alright, alright, I won't mention it anymore, I'll continue watching the show."
This attitude made Qi Xiuyuan even more annoyed, as if he were being unreasonable!
Qi Feifan gave his younger brother a look that signaled him to calm down, then glanced at Qi Shaoxiong and deliberately reminded him, "I guess this Qi Yue is also eyeing the position of Qi family heir."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shaoxiong sneered, "How dare he, a piece of trash even more stupid than your brother Qi Xiuyuan, think that? If it weren't for Qi Huan, he wouldn't even be able to return to the Qi family."
Qi Feixue chuckled, meeting Qi Xiuyuan's angry gaze. She raised her hands in feigned surrender: "This time, I'm not going to reopen your wounds."
Qi Xiuyuan was insulted again: "..."
Very well, he endured it!
Once his elder brother becomes the heir to the Qi family, he'll deal with those two siblings properly!
Facing the questioning looks from the guests, Qi Yue shouted, "Young Master Duan, I have no grudge against you, so don't make baseless accusations against me!"
"Tch, you know I have no grudge against you. What good would it do me to slander you? You personally delivered the invitation to me, and the security cameras at the Duan family's gate recorded it."
Duan Jinghan ignored Qi Yue's murderous glare and continued to stare at Jiang Youli and Qi Huan on the stage. "Jiang Youli, last night this Qi Yue suddenly came to me and asked me to attend your engagement banquet with his brother Qi Huan."
