Looking at that slender figure, Yu Tingzhi said nothing. His index finger slightly bent as he tapped on the table.

After a moment, Yu Tingzhi looked away from Song Hua and turned to Wang Dengfeng.

“Where’s the ring?”

“What ring?” Wang Dengfeng was stunned.

“The engagement ring,” said Yu Tingzhi.

Mr. Yu indeed prepared an engagement ring for Yu Tingzhi, but Yu Tingzhi just said that he wanted to break off the engagement.
“Tingzhi, | thought you were going to break off the engagement,” said Wang Dengfeng.

“What are you talking about?” Yu Tingzhi asked.

Wang Dengfeng replied, “In the lounge, you said it yourself, remember?”

“You heard wrong.” Yu Tingzhi’s tone was indifferent as if he never said that he was going to break off the engagement.
As Yu Tingzhi finished speaking, he reached out his hand and looked at Wang Dengfeng. “Give me the ring.”

Staring at Yu Tingzhi’s hand, Wang Dengfeng was puzzled.

Oh, well!

It was said that women were fickle. When did it also work for men?

Wang Dengfeng gulped. He took out the ring box from his pocket and handed it to Yu Tingzhi.

Yu Tingzhi put away the engagement ring, stood up, and walked towards the stage.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone on the stage.

Song Hua’s figure appeared in front of everyone.

She was about eighteen years old.

Song Hua wore a white gown which fit her very well and showed her narrow waist. She put her long hair up, revealing her slender and beautiful neck.
Song Hua looked both noble and cold.

When she raised her affectionate eyes, it drew all the guests’ attention.

All the well-dressed noble ladies were overshadowed by Song Hua.

The front hall fell silent.

After a while, the guests started discussing.

“Oh my! She’s so beautiful.”

“So what? No matter how beautiful she is, she’s just a wench.”

“She is Song Dalong’s adopted daughter. Considering her age, she is indeed his eldest daughter. All these years, she was raised in the countryside. The Song family brought her back not long ago so that she can get
engaged to Yu Tingzhi on Song Baoyi’s behalf.”

“Hence, Song Baoyi isn’t the one who was promised to Yu Tingzhi. The Yu family has been really shameless all these years. They always claim that Song Baoyi is Yu Tingzhi’s fiancee. How can they do this to her?”
“I told you that Yu Tingzhi wasn’t good enough for Miss Song.”

Hearing these words, Mr. Yu was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.

Fortunately, the butler beside Mr. Yu gave him a pill in time. After a while, Mr. Yu recovered.

He never imagined that the Song family would ask someone else to get engaged to Yu Tingzhi on Song Baoyi’s behalf.

If Song Baoyi really looked down on Yu Tingzhi and wanted to break off the engagement, she could have just said it. Why did she have to humiliate Yu Tingzhi in this way?
Mr. Yu felt cheated. He used to think that Song Baoyi was not a shallow woman, but he was wrong.

Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan stood at the side and looked at each other. They were both excited to see this.

Mr. Yu even took the pill. It seemed that he was really angry.

Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan thought it would be good if Mr. Yu could just die from a heart attack.

Yu Zhihong and Fang Minghui sat beside Mr. Yu and had an ugly look on their faces.

At the same time, they were very worried.

The Song family was dishonest and asked Song Hua to get engaged to Yu Tingzhi on Song Baoyi’s behalf. What was Yu Tingzhi supposed to do now?

Yu Zhihong immediately stood up from his chair. He could not help but want to go to Song Dalong and seek an explanation.

Fang Minghui said, “Zhihong, wait a moment.”

She grabbed Yu Zhihong’s hand in time.

Yu Zhihong was stunned.

Fang Minghui gestured for him to gaze at the stage. “Look!”

Yu Tingzhi held the engagement ring in his hand and walked to the young woman on the stage. Then, he said in a low tone, “Miss Song, I’m Yu Tingzhi. Nice to meet you.” His voice was pleasant and hoarse.
Song Hua raised her eyes slightly and looked into Yu Tingzhi’s deep eyes.

He had an extremely good appearance.

Yu Tingzhi’s long and narrow eyes were slightly raised. He arched a perfect eyebrow at Song Hua with a faint smile on his face and his roman nose was defined.

Yu Tingzhi was like a king who was looking down over the world and he seemed unapproachable.

When their eyes met, Song Hua and Yu Tingzhi were both slightly stunned.

Song Hua did not expect that the fiance whom she never met before was Yu Tingzhi.

It was not the first time they met.

When the Song family sent Song Hua to Mr. Liu’s private room, it was Yu Tingzhi who took her out in chaos.

The scene was so chaotic that Song Hua did not even have the time to ask Yu Tingzhi’s name.

She did not expect that he was Yu Tingzhi.

He did not look like the rumored loser at all.

Song Hua reacted quickly and smiled. After that, she held Yu Tingzhi’s hand and said, “Nice to meet you.”

The host stood out and said, “You can exchange your engagement rings now.”

Yu Tingzhi opened the ring box and took out the ring.

The red diamond ring shone brightly under the light.

Song Hua reached out her hand.

Her hand was not only slender, white, and soft but also incredibly beautiful.

When the red diamond ring was put on Song Hua’s finger, her hand looked even whiter than snow. People who were obsessed with pretty hands could barely look away from Song Hua’s hand.
Red diamonds were very rare. Not to mention that the one Yu Tingzhi took out was ten carats.

When the guests saw that Yu Tingzhi put the red diamond ring on Song Hua’s finger, they gasped in surprise and started discussing.

“I heard that there were only two red diamonds like this in the world. The other one belongs to Ugania’s royal family. It’s said that the red diamond will be passed on to the next princess.”

“This is the heirloom of the Yu family. Unfortunately, it now belongs to a wench.”

“Mr. Yu is really old and muddle-headed.”

Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan looked at the diamond ring on Song Hua’s hand. They were so angry that their eyes turned red and they clenched their fists tightly. The veins on their faces bulged.
They thought that Mr. Yu would pass the red diamond ring to the heir to the Yu family. Yu Tingye and Yu Tingyuan never expected that Mr. Yu would give the red diamond ring to Yu Tingzhi.
Yu Tingzhi was nothing but a loser.

Did Mr. Yu want Yu Tingzhi to be the heir to the Yu Family?

That was ridiculous!

Song Baoyi was also under the stage.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the man who put the priceless diamond ring on Song Hua’s hand.

Song Baoyi did not expect that the notorious loser in River City would be so handsome.

She doubted if any man in River City could be more good-looking than Yu Tingzhi.

For some reason, Song Baoyi was a little jealous of Song Hua and thought she should be the one wearing the ring.

However, Song Baoyi felt relieved in a while.

No matter how gorgeous Yu Tingzhi was, he was still a wimp.

Therefore, he did not deserve her.

Song Baoyi believed that only Xian Ting was good enough for a woman as knowledgeable as her.

Song Baoyi came tonight to let Yu Tingzhi know that she was out of his league.

It was also in case that he could not forget about her.

Song Baoyi believed that Song Hua and Yu Tingzhi could make a perfect couple.

“Miss Song, what’s going on? How could you do this to my son?” Fang Minghui couldn’t help but walk up to Song Baoyi and ask in a low voice.
In Fang Minghui’s opinion, Song Baoyi was well-read and understanding and she would not do this kind of thing.

Song Baoyi did not panic when she faced Fang Minghui. Instead, Song Baoyi smiled and said gently, “Mrs. Yu, I don’t know what you’re talking about. After all, the person who was promised to your son was my eldest
sister from the very beginning.”

Song Baoyi lowered her voice and whispered in Fang Minghui’s ear, “Besides, I think that one should know their place. Am I right?”.
