Capítulo 1112: Chapter 1113: Don’t Speak Too Soon

Listening to those sarcastic remarks, Huo Yishan remained impassive, flinging her hand to free herself from Ruan Qiuting’s grasp.

“Don’t speak too soon. I think you should be more worried about yourself right now.” Even though her heart was already shattered, Huo Yishan didn’t want the enemy to see her vulnerability.

She was like a hedgehog; when facing an enemy, she would raise her spines because only then could the enemy not approach her, and she could protect herself.

Hearing this, Ruan Qiuting’s expression froze momentarily.

“What do you mean?”

Today was her engagement ceremony with Li Yuan. Although there was no media coverage, and it wasn’t possible to broadcast this grand engagement party on screens for everyone in Fancheng to see, anyone attending the engagement could see the who’s who of the world’s business elite and nobles.

A ceremony of this caliber might have never before happened in Fancheng’s history. This ‘first’ was something Ruan Qiuting was set on claiming.

Huo Yishan slightly curled her lips, “What do you think? If the groom doesn’t show up at today’s engagement party, what kind of joke will it be?”

She, of course, didn’t know whether Li Yuan would attend or not. The only reason she said that was so she wouldn’t completely lose face in front of Ruan Qiuting.

Isn’t there a saying that even if you lose face, you mustn’t lose your aura? How could she lose her composure at this moment?

Upon hearing her words, Ruan Qiuting’s face quickly turned pale.

No, that’s impossible. Li Yuan wouldn’t miss this! This was their engagement ceremony; if he were not to attend, he might as well not have agreed to the marriage.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuting laughed again, seemingly seeing through Huo Yishan’s bravado, “You’re just trying to save face by quibbling, aren’t you?”

Huo Yishan sneered, “Well, let’s just wait and see then.”

With that, she walked straight toward the main door of the wedding banquet hall.

Seeing her chatting with Ruan Qiuting earlier, the people at the door didn’t ask her for an invitation and let her in.

The engagement party was set on the second floor of a castle. Walking into the opulent hall, it was indeed a celebration fit for the richest family. The setup alone was jaw-dropping, surely costing no less than a billion.

Inside the hall, those who could be invited were world-famous figures, and among these celebrities, Huo Yishan was as insignificant as a grain of sand.

She hadn’t dressed extravagantly, only wearing a fresh and comfortable autumn outfit, hiding her splendor under ordinary clothes.

With a glass of champagne, she walked to an inconspicuous corner of the hall and simply sat there, watching the blinding engagement venue.

Isn’t it ridiculous? The man who shared a bridal chamber with her just yesterday was getting engaged to another woman today.

True or false, why hadn’t he said a word from start to finish? Why, why on earth…

Her heart felt like it was being carved out by a sharp blade, each throb causing unbearable pain, no matter where her gaze landed, it hurt too much to keep her eyes open.

Soon, the Li Family members all appeared in the venue one by one, greeting guests from around the world.

Madam Li, in particular, was the center of attention, surrounded by people continuously congratulating her.

No one noticed her sitting in the corner. Perhaps the pain in her heart was too severe, as Huo Yishan tried to numb herself with alcohol, hoping it would ease the ache in her chest.
