My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 763 - 0763: Official Engagement

Chapter 763: Chapter 0763: Official Engagement

Looking at the handsome men and beautiful women descending the stairs, Sun Zhuangjia revealed a smile; all this was within his calculations.

"Hello everyone, I am Li Wenxuan."

After Li Wenxuan walked down the staircase, without giving anyone time to react, she directly picked up the microphone and said, "This is my boyfriend, Tang Ming."

"Wow, so he’s Miss Li’s boyfriend, truly exceptional in appearance."

Sun Zhuangjia was the first to applaud, saying with emotion, "It seems that this mixer is quite successful. Miss Li really did find her Prince Charming."

Upon hearing this, the young talents who had come for Li Wenxuan all showed disgusted expressions. It was clear that they had already been together, but the party was hinted to be for matchmaking, which was obviously mocking everyone.

Although discontented, due to the power and background of the Sun Family and Li Family, as well as the Su Family, no one present dared to express their dissatisfaction and followed along with the applause.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Shusen looked towards Li Wenmao, quietly asking, "Since when did Wenxuan have a boyfriend? Did Wenmao know about this?"

"How would I know?"

Li Wenmao rolled his eyes and turned to Sun Zhuangjia to ask, "Brother Sun, from your expression, it seems you knew my sister was going to bring her boyfriend. Do you know that Tang Ming?"

"Li Brother, isn’t our goal to let the people of West Sea Province know the Li Family, and for the Li Family to mingle with these people? Is it that important whether your sister has a male companion or not?"

Sun Zhuangjia smiled cheekily at Li Wenmao.

"That kind of makes sense." Li Wenmao had an epiphany and nodded repeatedly.

"Also, I know this Tang Ming; he is the behind-the-scenes owner of the Tangming Group in Songlan City. If he truly ends up with your sister, it will definitely benefit the Li Family."

Sun Zhuangjia continued.

"Tangming Group? You mean the Tangming Group that caused heavy losses to the Yang Family, that Tang Ming?"

Li Wenmao widened his eyes in disbelief. The Tangming Group was extremely sought after at the moment. If Tang Ming could indeed become the Li Family’s son-in-law, then the Li Family’s entry into the national market would go very smoothly. Not to mention, they might even reap massive benefits overseas because of it.

"That’s right, that very Tang Ming."

Sun Zhuangjia nodded, lowering his voice, "Brother Li, don’t say I didn’t remind you, this young man is quite the catch. Looking at your sister’s attitude towards him, they seem well-matched. The Li Family must not miss out on this excellent opportunity."

"Understood, understood, thank you Brother Sun for the reminder."

Li Wenmao nodded repeatedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Tang Ming maintained a smile on his face, standing by the speaking Li Wenxuan’s side, embodying the role of a shield flawlessly.

"Haha, congratulations to Miss Wenxuan for finding the man of her dreams."

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, Sun Zhuangjia was the first to stand and offer his congratulations.

"Thank you, and thanks for the Sun Family’s help in this," Li Wenxuan responded politely, though inside, she held little fondness for the Sun Family. If it hadn’t been for their collaboration with her elder brother in hosting this marriage-seeking party, she wouldn’t have had to pull Tang Ming out again as a shield.

"No need to be polite, since that’s how it is, I’ll go all out as a good person."

Sun Zhuangjia gave a sly smile, excitedly shouting, "Today is a good day, why don’t Miss Li and Mr. Tang take advantage of the lively atmosphere and fix your wedding date today, double happiness on a joyous occasion, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhuangjia immediately made eye contact with Li Wenmao.

Thinking of Tang Ming being the boss of the Tangming Group, Li Wenmao didn’t want to miss out on this brother-in-law, and quickly agreed, "Brother Sun’s suggestion is quite good, our purpose today is to find a good match for my sister, and to prepare for your engagement. Now that the person has been found, let’s finalize this marriage in front of everyone."

"Damn."

Hearing this, Tang Ming, confused, couldn’t help but curse under his breath, instinctively stepping back, but Li Wenxuan grabbed him.

"Sister, you didn’t say you’d go this big, even planning an engagement?"

Tang Ming looked at Li Wenxuan miserably. His own marriage to Liu Mengting hadn’t been called off yet, and now this engagement, wasn’t this a joke?

"Given the situation, I can hardly tell all these people you’re just hired by me, can I?"

Li Wenxuan smiled sweetly as she held Tang Ming’s arm, whispering, "I’ll pay you more, please help me get through this, okay?"

"You’re not setting a trap for me, trying to become my wife, are you?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Li Wenxuan with a speechless look, "It’s not about the money, it’s about principle."

"Fifty thousand."

"I’m not really about the money; you can’t change my mind by offering more."

Tang Ming kept a similar smile on his face towards the guests, but he spoke discontentedly.

"One hundred thousand."

Li Wenxuan gritted her teeth; this was really going to be costly for her.

"Actually, if it’s just a fake engagement, we could negotiate."

Tang Ming’s tone softened.

"Two hundred thousand."

"Fine, plus you can’t bother me about sleeping in class or ask about my English grades ever again."

Tang Ming knew he had pushed enough and immediately put forth the terms he wanted.

"No problem, as long as you help me this time, anything goes afterward," Li Wenxuan agreed with relief, considering Tang Ming’s grades were nothing to worry about anyway.

While Tang Ming and Li Wenxuan were haggling, Liu Mengting and her companions were stunned.

"Oh no, an engagement wasn’t mentioned before."

Li Xiaoli scratched her head, saying with concern, "If they really get engaged, what will Wei’er do?"

"That bastard Tang Ming, he’s really gotten himself into trouble now."

Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming on the stage with a furious expression.

"He surely won’t agree, right?"

Xia Wei’er clenched her fists tightly, her eyes moist as she looked at Tang Ming on the stage. If she had known it would come to this, she should have taken the initiative last night and gotten closer to Tang Ming.

"Alright then, since representatives of all the major forces from West Sea Province are here today, I shall formally get engaged to Mr. Tang Ming."

It was at this moment that Li Wenxuan spoke leisurely.

"How could this happen?" Xia Wei’er’s knees buckled, almost fainting.

"Wei’er, are you alright?"

Liu Mengting quickly supported Xia Wei’er.

"Wei’er, please don’t take it seriously. We all know that Tang Ming is only pretending to be Li Wenxuan’s boyfriend. With so many people watching, he has no choice but to agree, or there’ll be no way to wrap this up."

Li Xiaoli hurriedly consoled Xia Wei’er, "Don’t worry, it’s all fake. It will be over soon."

"Yeah, I know."

Xia Wei’er forced a smile, knowing all this was fake, but she still felt terrible.

"Fantastic, let everyone present be witnesses. Mr. Tang Ming and Miss Li Wenxuan are officially engaged today. They truly are a match made in heaven."

Sun Zhuangjia became excited and began clapping loudly.
