Chapter 733 734. Beating and Engagement

Yue Suzhi's cheeks flushed instantly, she nodded shyly, but her eyes were shining with happiness.

After calming down a little, she asked, "How did you know?"

"You are distracted all the time and often laugh for no reason. Even if I am slow, I should know that you already have someone in your heart.

Plus, you and Qu Shumo often attend various occasions together, so it's not hard to guess who this person is."

Seeing that her brother had no intention of blaming her, Yue Suzhi's originally somewhat uneasy heart was completely relieved, "So what do you think of him?"

Yue Wenxuan gave a thumbs up, "As expected of my sister, she has a good eye! Shumo is a steady and practical person, smart, and wise in dealing with people. She is indeed a rare and perfect match.

When did he start pursuing you? I didn’t even notice.

“I also felt that he was a reliable person, and that’s why I was moved by his sincerity.

He looks a bit honest, but I didn't expect him to have some evil intentions. He started testing me little by little half a year ago. Before I even noticed, his shadow had already appeared in my heart. "

Yue Suzhi was a little shy when talking about her love life in front of her younger brother. Even though she spoke very briefly, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Yue Wenxuan doesn’t care about his sister’s love process. As long as the person is right and the result is good, that’s enough.

He went on to say, “Since you two have confirmed your relationship, you should make it official.

Although we are abroad, there are many international students from China around us. We should still take marriage seriously to avoid being gossiped about behind our backs. "

Yue Suzhi has been deeply influenced by her mother since she was a child. Although she has now accepted foreign concepts, she still cherishes her reputation very much, and in this respect she is far better than Yue Wenxuan.

When she heard her brother raise this issue, she took it very seriously. "So what do you think is the best thing to do? After all, we are abroad. I am just a sophomore now, and I still have two years to graduate from college."

"Actually, the problem is very easy to solve. As long as you two settle the marriage first, you don't have to worry about other people gossiping even if you get along more closely in the future." Yue Wenxuan had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Yue Suzhi had already taken Qu Shumo to heart, and of course wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible, but she always felt that things were difficult to handle, so she asked:
"The two places are so far apart, and we can't go back. Is it easy to get engaged?"

“As long as Qu Shumo is willing to cooperate, things will be easy to handle.

You two can each write a letter and send it back home, explaining the situation, and then ask his father to go to our house to propose marriage. As long as our family has no objection, the marriage can be settled.

At that time, I will ask the two families to write a letter to each other, clarifying the relationship in the letter, and then I will invite the classmates around to dinner and announce the engagement of the two of you, so there will be no trouble later."

After thinking about it for a while, Yue Suzhi felt that her brother's idea was indeed very thoughtful. After all, what she wanted was not a grand engagement ceremony, but a clear statement that could make the identities of the two public.

After the two of them are officially engaged, they no longer have to be secretive about their relationship and can be together openly.

Yue Suzhi has Yue Wenxuan by her side. As long as Yue Wenxuan also writes a letter and sends it home, explaining Qu Shumo's situation in detail, I believe his parents will not object.

After all, what they are most worried about is that their daughter will be too old after returning from studying abroad, and it will definitely be difficult to find a good marriage for her.

If they could arrange a good marriage now, they would be so happy. Even if their daughter returns home later, they won't have to worry.

When it comes to proposing marriage, Yue Suzhi and Qu Shumo certainly cannot speak up themselves. It would definitely be more appropriate for Yue Wenxuan to come forward.

It happened to be Sunday, so Yue Wenxuan simply sent a car to take Qu Shumo home.

Ever since Qu Shumo was admitted to Columbia University, he has devoted most of his energy to studying. Even when he is out of school, he usually stays in his rented apartment. He rarely comes to Yue Wenxuan's manor now.

When Qu Shumo walked into the living room and saw Yue Wenxuan, he felt a little guilty for no reason and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Shumo, why do I feel like you're a little different today? You look timid, as if you've done something wrong."

Yue Wenxuan said this deliberately, and his face was cold and he looked very serious.

"How could I, such an upright person, do something wrong? I study all the time. Maybe it's because I'm under too much academic pressure recently. I'm not in a good mood."

If it were in the past, Qu Shumo would have been confident in saying this, but today he seemed a little lacking in strength.

"Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?"

Seeing that he was still in a daze and didn't say anything, Yue Wenxuan added: "Since you don't have any ideas, I plan to send my sister back after a while, so that she won't be targeted by some people with ulterior motives here."

After hearing what Yue Wenxuan said, Qu Shumo immediately knew that his affair with Yue Suzhi was exposed.

Originally, he planned to wait for a while until their relationship was stable before finding a suitable opportunity to talk to Yue Wenxuan. But since he could no longer hide it, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Although Qu Shumo is four years older than Yue Wenxuan, it is his first time to fall in love, and the person he is dating is Yue Wenxuan's sister, which makes it a little difficult for him to talk about it.

Qu Shumo mustered up his courage and said, "Wenxuan, your sister and I love each other, and I hope you can help us be together."

"We are good friends, and my sister is willing, so of course I have no objection.

But have you ever thought about how much pressure my sister will bear in the future if you two continue like this?"

Qu Shumo said in a somewhat hurried tone: "Of course I have considered this issue, and I will never let Su Zhi suffer even the slightest bit of grievance.

But I didn’t know your sister’s feelings before, and I was worried that she would look down on me, so I didn’t dare to be presumptuous.

Now that we are in love, I don't need to worry so much. I have made up my mind. I will write a letter to my family as soon as possible and ask my father to go to Wuzhou to propose marriage.

If we can get the support of our families on both sides and settle our marriage as soon as possible, we won’t have to worry about gossip in the future.”

Yue Wenxuan was not wrong about Qu Shumo. He was indeed a careful and steady person. He had already considered this problem and had already thought of a solution.

“I haven’t met your father either, so I don’t know what kind of person he is, or whether he will do what you ask.

You have considered it carefully. If the parents of both parties can agree on this marriage, I will not interfere with your relationship.

But if both parents disagree, even if you and my sister are in love, I will be the bad guy who breaks up the couple and will never let her have any contact with you in the future." Yue Wenxuan didn't know how important Qu Shumo was in his father's mind, nor did he know what kind of person his father was. Before the marriage was completed, he had to put more pressure on Qu Shumo.

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's threat, Qu Shumo was really panicked and said quickly: "Wenxuan, don't worry, my father will definitely get it done.

He particularly supports my decision. As long as your father doesn't object to this marriage, I think the process should go smoothly."

After a brief pause, Qu Shumo was still worried that Yue Wenxuan would interfere, so he explained a few more sentences:
"In fact, I had already written to my father and made my feelings clear to the county.

My father knew that the girl I liked was the sister of my savior, and he was very supportive of my decision.

My father has already explained the matter of proposing marriage in a letter. As long as I fulfill my wish and write him a letter, he will go to Wuzhou to propose marriage immediately without delaying for a day. "

If Yue Suzhi was a girl from an ordinary family, Qu Shumo's father would certainly not be so enthusiastic. Even if Yue Wenxuan was his son's savior, he would not agree to this marriage.

Qu Shumo's father agreed so readily because he had already investigated Yue Wenxuan's background.

If the Yue family was still the same as in previous years, he might still look down on them, but the Yue family in the past two years was very different from before and had become a truly wealthy merchant family.

Be it the Baicaotang that made a fortune every day, or Yue Hanzhang's status as a shareholder of the Magic City Commercial Savings Bank, Qu Shumo's father could not afford to look down on them in the slightest.

Yue Suzhi is the eldest daughter of the Yue family. She is now studying abroad in the same university as Qu Shumo. In the eyes of Qu Shumo's father, she is simply the best candidate for daughter-in-law. After hearing the news, he naturally gave her strong support.

Yue Wenxuan originally planned to give Qu Shumo a few more warnings, but he didn't expect that he had already considered everything carefully, so there was no need to do so.

But before the marriage is settled, Yue Wenxuan still wants to put more pressure on him, and then said:

"Then hurry up and write a letter home. Before the marriage is settled, I will not allow you to have any contact with my sister. I hope you can understand my decision.

I had no choice but to do this, after all, I have the responsibility to protect my sister's reputation.

Before I left the country, my father and mother told me to keep an eye on my sister and not let her get cheated by bad guys in a foreign country. Since I promised them, I must do it. "

Qu Shumo knew that Yue Wenxuan was implying something and was on guard against him, but he did not dare to refute and could only say aggrievedly:
"Okay, I'll write a letter home after I get home today." If he wasn't worried that the telegram wouldn't be able to explain the matter clearly, he would rather spend a little more money to send a telegram home to explain the matter.

After this conversation, Yue Suzhi was indeed restrained by her brother, but she did not feel any aversion. Yue Suzhi knew that her brother did this for her own good and was willing to cooperate.

Qu Shumo was the most impatient. After returning home, he wrote an extremely long letter to his family.

Yue Suzhi and Yue Wenxuan also wrote a letter to their families respectively. Yue Suzhi's letter was more subtle, while Yue Wenxuan's letter was extremely detailed.

International mail in that era was very slow, but fortunately things went smoothly. Two months later, Qu Shumo, Yue Suzhi and Yue Wenxuan all received letters from home.

Both sets of parents were optimistic about this marriage and the entire proposal process went smoothly. After a complicated proposal ceremony, in the eyes of their relatives in their hometown, Qu Shumo and Yue Suzhi were already an engaged couple.

After receiving the letter from their hometown, Qu Shumo and Yue Suzhi were very happy, and a stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

Now that I have passed the hurdle at home, the next thing will be easy.

Yue Wenxuan planned to host a banquet for his schoolmates at home, and at the same time announce the engagement of Qu Shumo and his sister, so that his classmates could be happy too.

Of course, the most important thing is to make the good news public in front of everyone, so that no one will see the two of them behaving too intimately and make gossip, thus affecting the sister's reputation.

Yue Wenxuan often entertains guests in restaurants, but rarely does so at his manor. Several newly enrolled international students have never been to Yue Wenxuan's manor.

Yue Wenxuan chose Sunday as the day for the dinner party.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Sun Ke, Jin Yuelin and others who were close to Yue Wenxuan arrived at the manor early.

In 1919, it was spring in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York. The sun shone through the sparse clouds and gently fell on Yue Wenxuan's -acre estate.

The manor is full of flowers and lush greenery, presenting a vibrant scene, as if even nature is adding a festive touch to the upcoming happy event.

As the guests arrived one after another, every corner of the manor was filled with laughter.

The banquet hall was carefully decorated in a simple yet elegant European style. Famous Western paintings were hung on the walls, and exquisite flowers and silverware were placed on the tables. Every detail revealed the host's intentions and the importance he attached to this gathering.

The banquet officially began at 11:00 a.m.

Yue Wenxuan, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, stood at the entrance of the banquet hall, smiling and greeting the guests who came to congratulate him one by one.

Yue Suzhi was wearing an elegant white long dress with a light skirt, like the gentlest clouds in spring. She and Qu Shumo stood side by side, their eyes full of longing and happiness for the future.

In the banquet hall, melodious music was playing. A well-known violinist was playing a classical piece live, adding a bit of solemnity and romance to today's engagement ceremony.

The guests were standing or sitting, chatting in groups of three or five, and the topic naturally revolved around the sweetness and beauty of the newlyweds.

Yue Wenxuan stood in the center of the banquet hall, his voice clear and powerful:
"Today, on this day full of joy and blessings, I am honored to announce to everyone that my sister Yue Suzhi and Mr. Qu Shumo have officially got engaged in the presence of their hometown relatives.

The two of them are in love and support each other, and they came together under the guidance of fate. I sincerely hope that in the days to come, they can work together to create a bright future of their own. "

As Yue Wenxuan finished his words, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the banquet hall.

The guests raised their glasses and gave their most sincere blessings to the newlyweds.

Yue Suzhi and Qu Shumo smiled at each other, tears of happiness flashing in their eyes. At this moment, they knew that all the waiting and hard work were worth it.

At lunch time, a sumptuous banquet began amid everyone's anticipation.

Yue Wenxuan specially invited a famous local French chef in New York to prepare a feast for the guests' taste buds.

The exquisite tableware sparkles under the light, and each dish is presented like a work of art, which is amazing.

During the dinner, Yue Wenxuan raised his glass and gave a speech. His words were sincere and heartfelt, expressing his wishes for his sister's happiness, as well as his trust and recognition for Qu Shumo.

Qu Shumo also stood up to respond. His words were full of love and commitment to Yue Suzhi, which moved everyone present.
