Keeping the promise

Chapter 124 Family Dinner

After Zheng Wancheng and Li Yunting announced their relationship, they were immersed in a romantic honeymoon trip. However, behind their happiness lay a huge crisis.

Li Yunting's family was a large and complex aristocratic family, full of disputes over power and interests. Although Li Yunting held a pivotal position in the family, his union with Zheng Wancheng was not blessed by everyone.

Li Yunting's aunt, Li Hui, has always been a powerful figure in the family. She is extremely dissatisfied with Zheng Wancheng's origin and background, and believes that the appearance of this ordinary girl is a blasphemy to the noble bloodline and lofty status of the Li family.

In her eyes, only a woman like Qin Huaiwei, who came from a prominent family and had a graceful demeanor, was qualified to be Li Yunting's partner.

Qin Huaiwei, the woman who was once engaged to Li Yunting, has always been obsessed with Li Yunting. She knows very well that Aunt Li Hui dislikes Zheng Wancheng, so she tries every means to please Li Hui and try to win back Li Yunting with her help.

Zheng Wancheng and Li Yunting returned home after their sweet and romantic honeymoon. They were still immersed in the afterglow of happiness, enjoying each other's company and warm time. However, they soon received a special invitation - a banquet invitation from the family.

At the family dinner, the lights were bright and the guests gathered.

Zheng Wancheng and Li Yunting arrived last, and most of the family members were already there. Their appearance caused a small commotion, and people cast curious glances at them.

Li Yunting's tall and straight figure stood out in the crowd. His handsome face with a faint smile made people fall in love with him.

Zheng Wancheng was wearing an elegant long dress, her beauty and temperament were amazing. The two of them stood together, like a perfect match made in heaven, attracting everyone's attention.

The elders in the family have become much calmer since Li Yunting's last warning.

The younger generation all admired Li Yunting and looked at the two of them with anticipation, hoping to have more interactions with Li Yunting.

Li Yunting was called by the head of the Li family to discuss something, and Zheng Wancheng did not follow him. She knew very well that there were very few people who welcomed her at the Li family dinner, so she did not want to get in front of those people and make herself look boring. So, she chose a quiet corner to sit down and quietly watch everything around her.

Li Hui saw Zheng Wancheng, who was alone, swaying her body and walking in front of the crowd. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Hey, do you know? Qin Huaiwei is so elegant and generous, which makes people happy when they see her." As she spoke, her lips, which were painted with bright lipstick, slightly raised and her eyes swept towards Zheng Wancheng with contempt.

Zheng Wancheng clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms. She knew that he was pointing at her, but she still tried to force a smile and said softly, "Really? Aunt, Qin Huaiwei is indeed excellent."

Li Hui sneered: "Humph, compared to others, some people are really vulgar and ordinary."

Old godly woman, yin and yang~

Zheng Wancheng's smile was a little stiff, but he still responded calmly: "I will work hard to improve myself."

At this time, Qin Huaiwei came over, twisting her waist, and said to Li Hui sweetly, "Aunt Li Hui, you look so beautiful today."

Li Hui smiled even more happily: "Huai Wei is still good at talking."

Zheng Wancheng looked at the two of them and wondered what they were talking about. It turned out that they were waiting for her across from each other.

Qin Huaiwei went on, "I have specially selected a very expensive gift for you. I hope you like it." As she spoke, she took an exquisite gift box from the servant and handed it to Li Hui.

Li Hui's eyes lit up: "Oh, Huaiwei, you are so thoughtful."

Qin Huaiwei took Li Hui's arm again: "In the future, I will accompany you shopping and beauty treatments."

Li Hui nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay."

The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, completely leaving Zheng Wancheng aside. They just wanted to make Zheng Wancheng understand that he was not welcome in the Li family.

When they reached a deserted spot, Li Hui lowered her voice and said to Qin Huaiwei, "Huaiwei, we have to find a way to separate Yun Ting and Zheng Wancheng."

Qin Huaiwei nodded quickly: "Aunt Li Hui, I will listen to you and do whatever you say."

There was a sinister look in Li Hui's eyes: "We have to think long-term..."

Qin Huaiwei responded: "Yeah, I know, we will succeed."

They continued to plot in a low voice, and those vicious words filled the air, as if to completely destroy Zheng Wancheng's happiness.

Li Yunting walked into the hall in a hurry and saw Zheng Wancheng sitting in the corner, looking a little lonely. His eyes softened instantly and a feeling of heartache surged in his heart.

He strode to Zheng Wancheng and said softly, "Wancheng, let's go home."

Zheng Wancheng raised her head and looked at Li Yunting's concerned eyes. The grievance in her heart seemed to dissipate a little. She nodded silently and stood up.

Li Yunting gently put his arm around her shoulders and led her out the door. Everyone in the Li family looked at their departing backs, and although they were somewhat dissatisfied, facing Li Yunting's majestic aura, no one dared to say anything.

As they passed by, someone murmured, "This is too outrageous."

But someone immediately stopped him with a look, signaling him not to say anything more.

Li Yunting seemed not to hear those subtle sounds, his whole mind was on Zheng Wancheng. He held her hand tightly, as if to give her strength and comfort.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two of them slowly walked out of the Li family, got in the car, and disappeared into the night.
