CHAPTER 1347: CHAPTER 1346: HE STILL HASN’T ARRIVED

"Meng Meng Jie Jie."

Li Xiaoli suddenly looked at Liu Mengting, squinting her eyes and reminded, "If Tang Ming gege escapes, we’ll have to resort to Plan B."

"Hm?"

Liu Mengting was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Cang strangely.

Li Xiaoli also looked at Chen Cang with a mischievous smile.

"Hey, why are you guys looking at me like that?"

Chen Cang was unnerved by the two women’s gazes.

"Xiao Cang Cang, do you know who Meng Meng jie jie is supposed to get engaged to today?"

Li Xiaoli asked with a mischievous grin.

"Didn’t you say she was supposed to get engaged to Tang Ming gege?"

Chen Cang asked weakly.

"Theoretically, she is supposed to get engaged to Tang Ming, but if that guy escapes, an uninvited guest will show up to get engaged to me."

Liu Mengting nodded, and with a cold smile, said, "I don’t want to get engaged to a stranger, so at that time, you’ll have to help drive that guy away?"

"Fight him? I’m really good at that."

Chen Cang nodded repeatedly.

"Today, with so many people around, would my dad let you fight?"

Liu Mengting rolled her eyes at Chen Cang, "Moreover, if you drive him away today, he’ll come back later. Obviously, you can’t just kill him, right?"

"Hold on, I don’t quite understand what you guys are saying? Isn’t today the day Tang Ming gege and you are supposed to get engaged?"

Chen Cang quickly waved his hands, expressing his confusion.

"Oh, it’s just that Meng Meng jie jie’s childhood fiancé is coming to fulfill the engagement contract with her."

Li Xiaoli bluntly said.

"Then what about Tang Ming gege? And what’s going on with the guests outside?"

Chen Cang looked bewildered, all the people outside believed Tang Ming and Liu Mengting were getting engaged, no one mentioned any fiancé!

Also, Liu Gaoze didn’t explain that the engagement wasn’t with Tang Ming, what’s going on here?

"Aren’t we just struggling with this issue? Originally, we planned to have Tang Ming gege pose as Meng Meng jie jie’s fiancé, hoping Meng Meng jie jie’s fiancé would withdraw, but we can’t contact Tang Ming gege, so we’ll have to have you solve this problem."

Li Xiaoli explained earnestly.

"If fighting isn’t an option, how else can I solve it?"

Chen Cang was puzzled.

"You could make him bend!"

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli shouted in unison.

"Huh? You want me to make a stranger bend, that’s disgusting! I’m a person with cleanliness, not that easy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately protested shyly.

"It’s not as dirty as you think."

Li Xiaoli shivered and helplessly looked at Chen Cang, "If Tang Ming gege really doesn’t show up, then you must step forward and claim you have a fling with that fiancé. Once everyone sees he likes men, Meng Meng jie jie will naturally have the reason to reject the engagement."

"As long as you act convincingly, my dad will actively cancel the engagement, he definitely wouldn’t want me to marry a gay man."

Liu Mengting assertively analyzed.

"Gay... Who said I was gay? I am purely a girl, liking men is normal."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cang screamed indignantly, "If not for Tang Ming gege not liking, I’d marry him immediately."

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Liu Mengting almost bit her tongue, turns out Chen Cang actually has thoughts about Tang Ming, it’s terrifying.

"Yes, yes, yes, you’re right."

Li Xiaoli covered her ears, nodding constantly, "Anyway, for Meng Meng jie jie’s happiness, you must sacrifice yourself a bit, will you do it or not?"

"For Meng Meng, I, the niece, will sacrifice my charm today."

Chen Cang grunted, striking a coquettish pose, "Don’t worry, the moment that fiancé appears, I’ll immediately announce he’s involved with me."

"That’s great."

Liu Mengting excitedly grabbed Chen Cang’s hand, "If Tang Ming can’t show up, then today’s matter all depends on you."

"Don’t worry, it’s all on me."

Chen Cang confidently patted his chest.

The banquet hall had quite a number of people, mostly friends and family of the Liu Family, the rest were Tang Ming’s direct subordinates like Poison Sect, Flowing Cloud Sect, and people from Zhou Family.

Although the Liu Family is currently the tenth family in Imperial City, Liu Gaoze hasn’t quite adapted to this status yet, and the engagement ceremony preparations were rather rushed, keeping it simple, hence no grand invitations were sent out.

Just distributed invitations among internal personnel, just seeking to quickly settle the marriage engagement between Tang Ming and Liu Mengting.

Those who attended the banquet were familiar with both the Liu Family and Tang Ming, and the atmosphere was very harmonious, while no one cared about who exactly was Liu Mengting’s fiancé.

Everyone instinctively thought the so-called engagement ceremony by Liu Gaoze was to host for Tang Ming and Liu Mengting, primarily because the relationship between Tang Ming and Liu Mengting is so intimate.

When Tang Ming appeared in Songlan City, he was Liu Mengting’s bodyguard, and most of his later actions revolved around the Liu Family. Now Liu Mengting is to be betrothed to someone, naturally, it was to confirm the relationship with Tang Ming.

Due to this consideration, people didn’t bother to ask knowingly, and upon seeing Liu Gaoze, they directly congratulated him.

Even though Liu Gaoze felt strange inside, seeing these people praise Tang Ming as a good son-in-law, he didn’t explain in detail.

Because Tang Ming was supposed to be Liu Mengting’s fiancé, and today’s engagement ceremony was indeed hosted for the two of them.

At ten o’clock, Liu Gaoze had someone escort Liu Mengting to the venue, leading her to greet guests who came to congratulate.

Liu Gaoze was in a good mood and smiling broadly, but Liu Mengting was absent-mindedly looking around, searching for Tang Ming’s figure.

"Damn bastard, he really ran away."

After not spotting Tang Ming anywhere, Liu Mengting angrily cursed.

"Don’t worry, even if Tang Ming gege doesn’t show, we have Xiao Cang Cang as the scapegoat. Anyway, you definitely won’t successfully get engaged to that so-called fiancé today."

Li Xiaoli followed beside Liu Mengting, promising confidently.

"I hope so."

Liu Mengting sighed, looking at Chen Cang who was greeting Chu Batian and others, feeling helpless.

The renowned school beauty asking someone to pose as a fake fiancé was embarrassing enough, and now relying on Chen Cang, such an androgynous person, to save herself, Liu Mengting truly felt like crying.

"Boss, the ceremony time has already passed, we can’t delay any longer."

Just as Liu Gaoze was searching for Tang Ming’s shadow, Liu Fei leaned over to Liu Gaoze, urging anxiously.

"But the main character hasn’t arrived yet!"

Liu Gaoze muttered dejectedly, "Could Little Tang really be standing me up?"

"Boss, given the situation, why not directly announce the marriage between the young lady and Tang Ming on stage. After all, with so many people witnessing, whether Tang Ming is present or not isn’t important."

Liu Fei quietly advised, "If this drags on, it’ll be bad if it passes the time."
