Chapter 182
Song Luokui was very worried, but she didn't expect when she went to visit Chi Uncle with Chi Yu that Chi Yong's health was not good and he wanted to see her and Chi Yu get engaged.
It wasn't a marriage, as Song Luokui hadn't graduated yet.
"Is Chi Uncle's condition serious?" Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu nodded heavily, "The doctor says it's very serious."
Yan Sui came to the hospital looking anxious, and Song Luokui immediately went to comfort her, "Auntie, Uncle will be fine."
Yan Sui wiped the corners of her eyes and held Song Luokui's hand, "Yes, I know what Chi Uncle said about you. He was just talking casually, don't listen to him. You two can decide when to get engaged, don't mind him."
Song Luokui hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "It's okay. If Chi Uncle wants to see it, I have no problem." Song Luokui looked up at Chi Yu again.
Chi Yu put his arm around her shoulders, "Then let's get engaged first."
Yan Sui: "Then I'll discuss it with your parents."
Just like that, they decided to get engaged. The next day, Song Luokui's home was filled with betrothal gifts. Not to mention the gold and silver money, there was a courtyard house in XXX area, a large apartment in XXX area, a villa in XXX, a Mercedes car, a Porsche, 20% share of the Shan Yu Group, various precious jewels, famous paintings and antiques...
The entire living room couldn't even fit them all.
And as for the dowry from Song Luokui's side to match the Chi family's betrothal gifts, there were houses, cars, money, jewels, and various shares as well.
Finally, after exchanging marriage deeds, they only needed to wait for the upcoming engagement ceremony.
"Luokui, you can start inviting your guests and pick an auspicious date, let's do it next month."
Song Luokui: "...So soon? Will there be enough time?"
Sheng Rong: "There will be enough time, the team is all ready, you just need to choose a dress."
"Okay."
For invitations, her roommates Wang Sisi and others were definitely coming, class president Xu Jiarong and a few closer classmates, then from her company there was Yu Hui, assistant Li Bei, a few managers...
Lou Sasa and the others from the Ji Family compound didn't need to be invited, a large portion of the compound would be invited, as well as Song Luosheng's good friends and so on.
On Chi Yu's side, there were also a bunch of good friends, his family would invite people from the compound as well. Putting the two families together, probably the entire Ji Family compound would be invited.
Then there were some outside relatives and such, Chi Yu even wanted to invite his retired grandparents from S City back.
It was quite sudden, as Song Luokui had never met the two elders before, mainly because they didn't live in the same city. But Chi Yu said the two old people had seen her photos and liked her very much.
Song Luokui got tired from writing out all the invitation cards, and she had to take breaks to attend classes. After class, she would go and try on wedding dresses, with several dresses in total.
Recently, Chi Yu had handed over his work to others so he could accompany her to choose the dresses.
Song Luokui tried on a red toast dress and came out. It was off-the-shoulder with a large exposed back, sexy and beautiful.
She spun around, "Does it look good?"
When she came out, Chi Yu was stunned. Today, Song Luokui had also done a special princess hairstyle, which complemented the dress beautifully.
Seeing that Chi Yu didn't say anything and was just staring at her, she waved her hand in front of him, "I'm asking if it looks good?"
Chi Yu snapped out of it, "It looks great, extremely good, I was totally entranced."
Song Luokui tugged at the hem of the dress, "It keeps dragging on the floor, it feels a bit heavy. Let me go change into another one."
She went and changed into another one... and another one... and another one...
Song Luokui flopped onto the sofa, "I'm tired, you pick for me."
Chi Yu: "Every single one looked great, why don't we just buy them all?"
Song Luokui: "...Don't you know how tiring it is to keep changing clothes?"
Chi Yu: "Sorry, how about these few? Since we're pressed for time, I'll have someone design custom dresses for you for the wedding, okay?"
Song Luokui: "Okay."
With the dresses sorted out, she and Chi Yu went to visit Chi Yong at the hospital, as he was still in the ICU and mostly just sleeping, occasionally waking up recently.
At his age and after the issue with his brain, it was understandable.
Zhang Xiyue and the others were a bit surprised to hear about Song Luokui's engagement, "I thought you'd get engaged after graduating."
"It feels like you two have been dating for about a year already? It's been long enough."
Song Luokui: "Chi Uncle fell ill, so..." Her parents also agreed, since it was just an engagement, they decided to go ahead with it.
Zhang Xiyue and the others knew about this news and offered their consolations, "He'll be fine."
The engagement day soon arrived, and the Chi family booked an entire hotel, setting up nearly 500 tables, adding more if needed.
The Shan Yu Group organized many celebratory events that day, all to celebrate the engagement of the chairman and chairwoman. Not only that, the company cafeterias also offered many delicious dishes, across all headquarters and branches.
The Shan Yu Group made a huge impression. Someone tagged Songhua Technology, "How come the Songhua family has no reaction?"
"Songhua Technology's little sister is about to become someone else's family, they should be sad but I guess they're handling it well, hahaha."
"The two companies have been feuding, but who knew they'd end up becoming in-laws?"
"It seems Songhua Technology is the one at a disadvantage."
"Disadvantage? I heard the chairman of Shan Yu Group gave his company's shares as the betrothal gift."
"The bride's family must be powerful to get the Shan Yu Group's shares as a betrothal gift?"
"Bro, the Songhua boss is from an elite family, this is just a small deal for them."
...
At the engagement, even Chi Yong appeared in a wheelchair, looking decent in spirit.
However, Song Luokui, sitting in the hotel room as the makeup artist applied her exquisite makeup, felt a bit dazed as she looked at her reflection. She was getting engaged? She was also a bit worried...
Because it was just an engagement and not as elaborate as a wedding ceremony, by the time Chi Yu knocked and entered, Song Luokui had composed herself.
Chi Yu looked very handsome that day as well. He held Song Luokui's hand, and the two greeted guests arriving at the hotel entrance alongside their parents from both families.
Firecrackers kept going off outside as guests steadily arrived, each one praising the lovely couple.
Every small circle was live streaming the grand occasion.
"Sisters, I've arrived at the venue, guess who I saw?"
"Who else could it be? The ones from the news, obviously."
"You guessed right! And there are so many handsome guys too, all the brothers of Young Master Song and Prince Chi Yu, hehehe, each one so charming."
"Ah ah ah ah women, wipe your drool, I want to go too! Wuwuwu, why wasn't my family invited?"
"My family wasn't invited either..."
"Envious, jealous, hateful!"
Outside, the media also came over after hearing the commotion, but they were all blocked by uniformed guards at the hotel entrance. The entire security system was tightly secured, and those without an invitation were absolutely not allowed in.
Videos that didn't conform were also not allowed on the internet, and any that appeared were immediately deleted.
On one side was the grand banquet, while on the other, they were plotting something even bigger.
"It seems Chi Yong's health really isn't well."
"I heard he's enduring it for the celebration. Chi Yong's health isn't too good."
"I have information that he actually pushed himself to come out today, and even coughed up blood last night."
"Since they're holding the engagement ceremony now, how about we... take them all out in one fell swoop?"
"Brother! This is a great opportunity! The Chi Family, the Song Family, the Yan Family, the Ji Family, and others are all here."
