Yue Taotian's words made no sense at all. If he had made a sincere request, it would have been understandable, but instead, he resorted to threats.
The Yue family, once glorious, had now lost its former splendor. Yet, here he was, brazenly spouting nonsense in front of Baili Hongzhuang. It was truly ridiculous!
"You...," Yue Taotian's face turned red, but he couldn't find the words to say as he pointed at Baili Hongzhuang. "I..."
"What 'you'? What 'me'?" Baili Hongzhuang's displeasure was evident on her face. "Since you're already old, you should rest at home and not try to meddle in other people's affairs. Otherwise, you'll only end up sacrificing yourself, and that would be a loss you can't afford."
With that, Baili Hongzhuang sat down, completely ignoring Yue Taotian in front of her.
If she hadn't wanted Yue Taotian to witness today's spectacle with his own eyes, she would have taken his life back when they were in the Yue family.
Yue Taotian stood awkwardly in place, faced with Baili Hongzhuang's indifference. His face displayed a mix of anger and embarrassment, but in this situation, he couldn't make any drastic moves.
Thinking about the many gazes behind him, his scalp began to tingle.
He had thought that Baili Hongzhuang would give him some face in front of so many people, but instead, she had humiliated him to the extreme...
Ouyang Yitian arrived at the Central Square with his father, Ouyang Heng. The Ouyang family and the Lan family had always had a good relationship, and Ouyang Yitian was likely to be betrothed to Lan Qingyan.
Although there had been some unpleasantness during the Battle of Supremacy, the Lan family's subsequent apology had led the Ouyang family to forgive them.
As soon as Ouyang Yitian arrived at the Central Square, he witnessed the scene before him. He was astonished to see how much more imposing Baili Hongzhuang had become compared to the Battle of Supremacy.
Ouyang Heng's expression also changed slightly. He had already heard various rumors about the relationship between Lan Qingyan and Baili Hongzhuang.
There are no secrets that can be kept hidden forever. To him, these rumors were no surprise.
Seeing her today, Baili Hongzhuang was truly extraordinary...
In the crowd below the elevated platform, Lan Yunxiao and others couldn't help but smile at Baili Hongzhuang's actions.
"I never expected that old man Yue Taotian would embarrass himself like this."
Muling Bing's lips were filled with a smile, but a hint of fierceness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
She could never forget the cold faces she saw when they knelt before Yue Taotian and Yue Siqing, begging them to save Hongzhuang.
Yue Taotian and Yue Siqing had acted high and mighty, completely ignoring them and treating them with utter contempt.
Now, how the tides have turned. Life is truly interesting.
"Hongzhuang's demeanor is becoming more and more remarkable," Situ Yan marveled with a smile.
After Ouyang Heng and Ouyang Yitian arrived, they exchanged greetings with Baili Hongzhuang and the others. After a few compliments were exchanged, Ouyang Heng and his son sat down on the side.
Although today's enthronement ceremony was a family affair for the Lan family, it still required the presence of several influential forces as witnesses.
Before long, Lan Jingkuang and others slowly approached, and the most dazzling figure among them was Lan Qingyan.
Lan Qingyan walked gracefully, like a moon surrounded by stars, her beautiful face filled with a joyful smile.
It was evident that she had dressed up for the occasion, wearing a luxurious water-blue gown that accentuated her noble and elegant demeanor.
