Chapter 1005 Young Master Ye's Indifference
It turned out that after Guo Qiu, Chen Qi and others secretly rescued Xiao Wenbo from the Xiao family, they went straight to the Imperial Capital Building.
Unexpectedly, they arrived at the Imperial Capital Building before Xiao Ran.
After all, Xiao Ran's convoy of ninety-nine vehicles traveled slowly, covering only about ten miles, yet it took them more than half an hour.
After rescuing Xiao Wenbo, Guo Qiu and Chen Qi took a shortcut and sped up, arriving first.
The Imperial Capital Building has strict security measures and will never allow just anyone to enter.
Guo Qiu and others had already formulated several contingency plans under Zhou Renjie's instruction.
The group mingled in the crowd, waiting for Xiao Ran's convoy to arrive.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran's car drove directly into the Imperial Capital Building. Many onlookers, not seeing Xiao Ran, swarmed towards the building's entrance.
At that very moment, Guo Qiu and Chen Qi exchanged a glance and immediately began to loudly incite the crowd, urging them to rush in.
The two people who were shouting in the crowd just now were the two of them and two other companions.
The effect was unexpectedly good, and everyone rushed in.
Guo Qiu and Chen Qi immediately helped Xiao Wenbo into the building, where they mingled with the crowd.
As a result, all the contingency plans that Zhou Renjie had carefully prepared were completely useless.
Even Xiao Wenbo hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.
For him, the worst thing was not being able to enter the building, let alone launch an attack on Madam Xiao and Xiao Yuanqing at a crucial moment.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbo was so grateful to Guo Qiu and Chen Qi that tears welled up in his eyes, and he wished he could kowtow to express his gratitude.
Tears almost welled up in her eyes, drawing stares from those around her.
"Pay attention to your appearance, control your emotions, and make sure you are not recognized, especially don't get targeted by security guards!"
Guo Qiu immediately pulled Xiao Wenbo aside and whispered a reminder.
"I lost my composure."
"Thank you both so much. Once my wish is fulfilled and I successfully ascend to power, I will definitely invite you both to the Xiao family and entrust you with important responsibilities, making you second only to the emperor, to repay your kindness today!"
Xiao Wenbo couldn't help but lean close to Guo Qiu's ear and whisper something.
"Alright, Xiao family head, the key now is to prepare your contingency plans. I hope you can turn the tide this time, tell your grievances in front of all the powerful families in the capital, and reclaim your position as family head!"
I believe you are the most outstanding person in the world, and the most suitable person to lead the Xiao family!
Guo Qiu immediately launched into another round of encouragement and flattery.
In truth, he didn't know much about the Ye family's background either, but since Zhou Renjie had given the order, he did as he was told.
At this moment, Xiao Wenbo looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, except that he still has a limp, and he is completely different from the original Xiao Wenbo.
Therefore, even though many members of the Xiao family came to the scene, no one recognized him.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and the engagement ceremony was about to begin.
The entire Imperial Capital Building was bustling with activity, and all the top tycoons were seated in the VIP section.
In particular, the top 100 powerful forces and families in the capital city all have their own exclusive VIP booths.
Of course, the number of people attending the engagement ceremony was large. In addition to the top 100 families, there were also hundreds of second- and third-rate families present to watch the ceremony.
These people did not receive an invitation from Madam Ye; they all came voluntarily and had submitted their applications to the Imperial Capital Building in advance.
The Ye family knew beforehand that the attendees of the engagement ceremony would not only be the top 100 families, but also other second- and third-rate forces who would take this opportunity to curry favor with the Ye family.
For Mrs. Ye, who loves money, the more people who come, the better.
All attendees bring gifts to foster a closer relationship with the Ye family.
As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding," and "He who takes another's gift is bound to do his bidding." As long as one presents a generous gift, there will be an opportunity to establish a relationship with the Ye family in the future.
Therefore, these people took the initiative to contact the Imperial Capital Building, registered their identities, and received invitations. All of this was tacitly approved by the Ye family, especially Madam Ye.
Therefore, the entire lobby of the Imperial Capital Building was filled with other guests, in addition to the VIP booths and private rooms, including those who rushed in to see what was going on.
At this moment, the entire hall, including the private rooms and booths, has gathered four or five thousand people, all waiting for the most crucial moment to arrive.
"Brother, is your heart racing right now, like it's about to jump out of your throat?"
The Ye family's private room was the most luxurious. Ye Haixia looked at the handsome Ye Haitao and suddenly took his arm.
Ye Haitao is already tall and handsome, and wearing the top-notch suit carefully selected by Xiao Ran makes him look even more dashing and debonair.
"It's just an engagement ceremony, what's there to be so happy about?"
To everyone's surprise, Ye Haitao pushed Ye Haixia away and said in a calm tone.
"Keep pretending, brother!"
"Everyone knows what you're thinking, right, Mom?"
Ye Haixia immediately shouted with a look of disdain.
"Hehe, your brother is so happy he doesn't know what to do."
"You little rascal, get ready, get into the zone, the engagement ceremony is about to begin!"
Madam Ye had not expected that so many people would come to witness the ceremony.
The list presented by her subordinates showed that, apart from the hundred major families she had personally invited, there were three to four thousand other attendees, and everyone had prepared generous gifts.
The mere thought of these gifts, especially those from top families and powerful organizations, filled her with joy.
It's safe to say that she was the happiest person at that moment.
Seeing her son's calm demeanor, Madam Ye was slightly surprised, but she didn't think too much about it, assuming he was just overjoyed.
Why does Haitao look like this today? He doesn't seem happy at all.
Ye Boxiong was also in the private room. He looked at Ye Haitao, his heart filled with doubt.
Everyone expected that Ye Haitao should be overjoyed and elated at this moment, but he remained calm and even somewhat indifferent throughout, not taking the engagement ceremony to heart at all.
"Could it be that Ye Haitao doesn't like Xiao Ran? Or am I mistaken?"
At that moment, Ye Boxiong suddenly had a sudden realization.
But he quickly shook his head, recalling Ye Haitao's words and actions, which clearly showed that he had always insisted on marrying Xiao Ran.
"I really don't understand what this kid is thinking, but no matter what, this marriage must be arranged!"
Even someone as deep-thinking as Ye Boxiong couldn't quite see through Ye Haitao at this moment.
"The time is almost here, the engagement ceremony is finally about to begin!"
Madam Xiao, Xiao Yuanqing, Xiao Yuanqing's wife, and all members of the Xiao family were seated in the guest seating area for the female guests.
Their VIP suites, like those of the Ye family, are of the highest standard.
Of course, the VIP seats only included Madam Xiao, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Yuanqing, and two elders of the Xiao family.
Just as the auspicious time was approaching, Xiao Yuanqing's phone suddenly vibrated.
He had already silenced his phone.
Xiao Yuanqing frowned deeply. Everyone knew he was attending Xiao Ran and Ye Haitao's engagement ceremony, so why would someone call him at this moment?
He looked down at his phone. The caller was none other than the third steward of the Xiao family, who was also the most respected among those remaining in the Xiao family.
"Why would he call at this time? Has something happened at home, or has Gao Xiao'e caused trouble again?"
