Chapter 1013 Undercurrents
Soon, David York pressed his hands down, and the noise from the audience immediately quieted down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since everyone knows that Mr. Ye and Miss Xiao's love story is so touching and captivating, shouldn't we invite you two to tell us about your love story?"
Especially our Mr. Ye, let him tell us how he truly won over Miss Xiao, the princess of the capital, and how he stood out from countless competitors to win her heart!
As soon as David York finished speaking, shouts erupted from the audience: "Yes! Of course we want it!"
"Now, let's invite our young master Ye to share his love story with Miss Xiao, so that we can all have a good feel for it; at the same time, he can also share his experience in pursuing his wife, so that all the men present, especially the single men, can learn something from it!"
"In that case, let's now welcome the groom-to-be, Mr. Ye Haitao!"
David York reached out and pointed to Ye Haitao, who was standing on the spiral staircase on the east side.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Mengxi interrupted him: "My dear York David, today is the auspicious day of Mr. Ye and Miss Xiao's engagement. Shouldn't we first bring these soon-to-be-married couple together, instead of them being separated by the vast Milky Way like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and then tell us their beautiful love story?"
It turned out that after Ye Haitao and Xiao Ran made their appearance, they stood on the spiral staircase, one in the east and one in the west, separated by a hall several hundred meters wide.
Before David York could respond, shouts erupted from the audience: "Yes, bring them together!"
"Let's come together!"
"Let's come together!"
The crowd below the stage shouted in unison, creating a deafening roar.
"Let's come together!"
"Let's come together!"
York David also jumped up excitedly on stage. As expected of a top host, he is multi-talented and presented a stunning dance on stage.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, romantic music, and the energetic dance of David of York, the two rotating crystal staircases, which were facing each other from a distance, slowly moved towards each other, converging on the central platform.
The lights in the entire hall kept flashing and changing colors.
Looking at the flashing lights, Guo Qiu and Chen Qi exchanged a glance and nodded secretly. Everything was exactly as Zhou Renjie had predicted.
Only under constantly changing lighting can some small actions be carried out smoothly.
After all, the Ye and Xiao families had arranged a large number of plainclothes bodyguards, and under the bright lights, anyone who showed the slightest abnormality would be immediately noticed.
Xiao Wenbo, meanwhile, stared intently at Xiao Ran, who was slowly moving from west to east up the crystal staircase.
At this moment, Xiao Ran was no longer his daughter, but his only hope.
He eagerly awaited Xiao Ran's swift descent from the crystal staircase to the central platform. Only then would he have a chance to strike.
He knew perfectly well that once he showed up, he would cause a bloodbath at the scene; he also understood that as soon as he appeared, the countless bodyguards of the Xiao family who were lying in ambush would immediately attack him and capture him.
Despite Guo Qiu's repeated assurances that the operation was absolutely safe and would surely grant his wishes, he remained uneasy.
But Xiao Wenbo also knew that whether he could make a comeback and enjoy wealth and honor again in the second half of his life depended entirely on this one move.
Xiao Wenbo didn't care about the Xiao family, kinship, sons, or daughters. All he wanted at that moment was freedom and wealth.
He completely broke down after his second wife, Chen Fang, cheated on him and even the two sons she gave birth to were not his biological children.
Now, all he wants is to regain his position as head of the family and take revenge on those who wronged him, went against his will, and brought him down.
He had already spotted the two old men, the two uncles, in the Xiao family's VIP box.
When he was in power, these two men fawned over him, addressing him as "Master of the Household." But after his scandals were exposed, they were the first to turn against him and turn against him.
Now, these two have become Xiao Yuanqing's confidants, transforming themselves into the backbone of the Xiao family.
He absolutely could not allow these two old hags to live peacefully; he had to regain power and crush Madam Xiao and these two old hags under his feet.
No, he wanted to arrest them, lock them in the Xiao family dungeon, give them only half a meal a day, and slowly torture them until they died in endless agony.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbo was driven mad and his mentality was twisted.
He was willing to risk everything and take any risks to reclaim everything that was rightfully his!
Finally, the two crystal staircases facing each other slowly approached and stopped on either side of the platform, perfectly fitting together the two missing steps of the platform.
"Hold hands! Hold hands!"
"Hugs! Hugs!"
As the two walked onto the platform, the audience spontaneously cheered again.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
David York immediately shouted exaggeratedly, and everyone stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Right now, no holding hands, no hugging! We have to let them tell their love stories first!"
No, we must get Mr. Ye to confess how he won over the stunningly beautiful Miss Xiao! They are not allowed to hold hands or hug until he explains it clearly today!
As he spoke, David York handed the microphone to Ye Haitao.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately joined in the commotion and shouting:
"Young Master Ye, please explain!"
"Young Master Ye, confess!"
David of York waved his hand forcefully again, and the crowd shouted three times before gradually quieting down.
"Our dashing and incredibly handsome Mr. Ye Haitao, now it's time to obediently confess!"
As a man, pursuing the wife you love, even if you do some outrageous or shameful things, is not shameful! Go ahead and say it…”
David York said with a mocking expression, his comical appearance causing everyone to burst into laughter.
As expected of a well-known host, every word and action of his can captivate people and ignite the atmosphere!
Ye Haitao's cheeks flushed slightly. He knew that he had to speak up in this situation.
He looked up at Xiao Ran opposite him, who was gazing at him tenderly, his eyes full of affection.
This woman is a really good actress!
Ye Haitao's heart stirred slightly, but then his expression turned cold again.
Now that his body has changed, Xiao Ran's eyes, which could charm thousands of men, are no longer attractive to him. Instead, they make him feel disgusted and disgusted.
Of course, he knew this was part of the engagement ceremony and he had to cooperate with the emcee.
In any case, today is the auspicious day of Ye Haitao's engagement, which is a matter of pride for the Ye family, and it must be done in a respectable and grand manner.
Thinking back on all the moments he shared with Xiao Ran over the years, he had pursued her relentlessly, but she had always ignored him until she was ruthlessly abandoned by Ji Xiuhan, at which point she finally extended an olive branch to him.
This is no true love at all; she's only after his status as the young master of the Ye family and is only after his family's interests.
At this moment, Ye Haitao had never been so clear-headed and sharp-eyed.
But he still nodded slightly, a polite smile on his face.
