Chapter 307 Sworn
Seeing that Ye Leng'an was about to leave, Lian Mengzhu was a little anxious, she even reached out her hand, trying to hold Ye Leng'an's arm, but under Ye Leng'an's cold gaze, she resentfully withdrew her hand, feeling a little at a loss.
"I... I have no other meaning." Lian Mengzhu looked a little anxious like a child who did something wrong, "I just want to bless you."
She also knew very well that it was not good for her and her husband to come here uninvited, and it might even be a joke in the eyes of others. But even so, she still wanted to come. Because this is the engagement ceremony of her own daughter, it is a major event in life. She has missed her daughter too much. If she misses such a big event, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
"Madam Ye, we have received your blessings." Huangfu Ruiling said coldly, "A visitor is a guest, and today you are guests, so I also hope that you can do your duty as guests."
These words were a bit hurtful, so Lian Mengzhu couldn't help showing a trace of sadness on his face.
Looking at the appearance of Lian Mengzhu in front of her, Ye Leng'an couldn't help frowning, "Mrs. Ye, today is my good day, I don't want to say harsh words, but I hope you don't make me unhappy on such a day, is that okay?"
She really felt that Lian Mengzhu was very strange. He wants to recognize his own daughter, but is also reluctant to adopt a daughter. But he knew very well in his heart that the adopted daughter and his biological daughter were almost incompatible, and it was impossible for them to get together.
Obviously it was her who couldn't make a choice, but now it seemed like everyone was persecuting her.
Such unceremonious words made Lian Mengzhu feel even more sad. She quickly explained, "I didn't, I just—"
At this time, Lian Mengzhu was very wronged. She came this time only because she didn't want to miss an important event in her daughter's life. However, I didn't expect her daughter to resist her like this, and she didn't even have a good face. Could it be that she really shouldn't come this time?
"Leng An, you don't need to be so sharp." Ye Hongxuan frowned and said, "We never wanted to make you angry. I know that you don't want to have anything to do with us because of Wanwan's incident. But you should also understand our feelings!"
"We have always raised Wanwan for many years. Even if you have a pet, you will have feelings, let alone a person! For a while, we really have no way to give up on her."
After hearing Ye Hongxuan's high-sounding words, Ye Leng'an felt a little funny, "Master Ye, actually, you don't need to explain anything to me. Your thoughts have nothing to do with me, and I don't care. It's just that I don't want to see you begrudgingly, as if I owe you. This makes me feel uncomfortable."
Would Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu think that if they were willing to come over, she should be grateful to Dade! Did they think of themselves too high, or did they think of her too low? Now she never wants to recognize the so-called biological parents.
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Lian Mengzhu almost cried.
Looking at such a wife, Ye Hongxuan felt distressed. He raised his head, wanting to say something else. However, before he could say anything, he was directly interrupted by Huangfu Ruiling.
"Master Ye, Madam Ye." Huangfu Ruiling looked at the couple in front of him coldly, with a hint of irresistibility in his tone, "Today is our engagement day, please forgive me for the poor greeting. Our engagement ceremony is about to begin, you have fun."
Lian Mengzhu stood where he was, with grievance and sadness on his face, especially when he looked at Ye Leng'an's back, he hesitated to speak.
Ye Hongxuan had a cold face, looking rather bad.
Ever since Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu appeared in the banquet hall, almost everyone's attention was directed towards this side intentionally or unconsciously.
Everyone knows that the Ye family has not received the invitation from the Huangfu family. Because of this incident before, everyone has had a lot of speculation. Now the owner and wife of the Ye family came here uninvited, which made things develop in a very strange direction.
Now seeing the weird atmosphere between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Hongxuan, it really makes people wonder. Is there any grievance between them that outsiders don't know about?
However, guesses are guesses, and no one is talking nonsense. After all, this is someone's private matter. As guests, no matter what they think in their hearts, they still pretend to be calm on the surface.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an walked onto the stage hand in hand, and then swore an oath in front of everyone, and then exchanged engagement rings.
Huangfu Ruiling looked at the pretty person in front of him, his eyes were full of doting and affection, and he said slowly, "I, Huangfu Ruiling swear, in this life and in eternity, Ye Leng'an is the only one. If you violate the oath, you are willing to accept the punishment of heaven."
After speaking, he put a ring on Ye Leng'an.
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's oath, Ye Leng'an smiled slightly, and then slowly opened his mouth to swear, "I, Ye Leng'an, swear that in this life and in eternity, only Huangfu Ruiling is alone. If you break the oath, you are willing to accept the punishment of heaven."
Then, she also put a ring on Huangfu Ruiling.
Watching the two engaged people swear their oaths on the stage, everyone in the audience who saw all this was shocked.
The swearing in the hidden world is different from that in the mortal world. The swearing by a cultivator is tantamount to swearing to the Dao of Heaven. If you violate the oath, it is easy to generate demons, which will affect your future practice.
So, under normal circumstances, practitioners rarely take an oath. But once the oath is taken, it will be obeyed.
In the hidden world, there are quite a few people who have held engagement ceremonies, but no one would make such an oath at this time. Because although it is said that people who get engaged generally get married, there are still a small number of people who will not make it to the end due to various reasons. Such an oath, besides slapping his own mouth, may have such a big impact on his future cultivation. So, no one would do that.
Even, many people refuse to make vows even if they are married.
Who would have thought that Huangfu Ruiling, the patriarch of the Huangfu family, would actually make such an oath at his engagement ceremony, he must have confirmed Ye Leng'an!
