Mo Wenjie heard this and looked at Qu Honghai. Brother Qu, according to Brother Qu's idea, I have to get engaged with the two or three of them. Is there no other way?
Qu Honghai shook his head upon hearing this. First, the capital city of the First Cloud isn't decided by one person alone, the Lord of the Territory. Second, the position of the Lord of the Territory is still coveted by others. There are countless individuals who would like to find a reason to replace him. You don't know those people with hidden agendas, who are just waiting for an opportunity. You should also consider that the Lord of the Territory has many predicaments. Therefore, I hope you can think about this for the Lord of the Territory. With the Lord of the Territory standing in for you and three families guaranteeing your situation, even the City Master would have to think twice about it. Let alone those with ill intentions; they would be even more hesitant to use you as a pawn. After all, you are a son-in-law of the three major families. Who would dare to put their son-in-law in danger without retribution? By then, those people with hidden agendas would also fear offending too many powerful figures and would have to give up!
Mo Wenjie heard this and looked at Qu Honghai. "Okay, let it be as you suggest!"
Qu Honghai nodded upon hearing this. "That's exactly what I was waiting for. I'll have someone inform your sisters-in-law immediately, and they will notify the women's families. The engagement banquet will be held at the largest hotel in the Cloud Capital City, called Yu Lin Xianfu! Brother, you should also get ready. Please arrive at the hotel early to wait for the women's family members. Their parents know that you are a sworn brother of the Lord of Territory and a high-level refiner, so they are very satisfied with this match for their daughter-in-law. Your three sisters-in-law have also praised you highly on your behalf, so it's up to you now?"
Mo Wenjie nodded upon hearing this. "I heard you, Mei Lan Zhu Ju. Now I'm going to Yu Lin Xianfu for the engagement banquet, and you all should accompany me!"
Jiu suddenly intercepted Mo Wenjie. "Master, this is all because of me. If I hadn't gone back and told her that I was a servant here, Master, it wouldn't have brought you any trouble. This matter originated with me, and I will go help Master explain it!"
Mo Wenjie shook his head upon hearing this. "This matter is not your fault. As long as she wants to extort money from me, this incident will happen sooner or later. This is not your responsibility, and you don't need to feel guilty!"
Jue, upon hearing this, felt tears well up in her eyes. "Thank you, Master, for your generosity. I will work hard to make up for my guilt to you. My cousin really is money-crazy!"
Mo Wenjie waved his hand and said, "No need to say any more, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think about it too much either. Just focus on doing your job and be at ease! We are leaving now to go to Yu Lin Xianfu. Don't let others get there first!"
Mei Lan Zhu Ju all nodded in agreement upon hearing this, following Mo Wenjie to the Yu Lin Xianfu hotel.
Qu Honghai had been waiting at the Yu Lin Xianfu hotel for everyone. Seeing Mo Wenjie, he greeted with a cheerful smile, "Congratulations, bridegroom! Today is your big day. You need to be on your toes and not let big brother down. It's going to be very lively tonight; many people are here to have a celebratory drink out of respect for Lord of Territory. So, Wenjie, as your brother-in-arms today, you represent big brother's face. Everything you say and do represents big brother's reputation. Whether or not to make big brother look good depends on your skills!"
Mo Wenjie nodded in response. "Brother Qu, you can rest assured that I will do my best today even if I have to sacrifice everything, and make sure that big brother's face is shining!"
Qu Honghai nodded upon hearing this. "With your words, Brother Wenjie, we feel reassured. After all, you are not a young man anymore, and it's time for you to take on responsibilities independently. Although Brother Qu and the Lord of Territory can provide support and protection for you, that is only temporary. The journey ahead will depend on you."
Mo Wenjie looked at Qu Honghai and nodded. "Brother Qu, you're right. I know what to do, so please rest assured!"
Qian XiaoYong led the three women and also came to Yu Lin Xianfu.
Mo Wenjie rushed forward to greet, "Big Brother, good! Ladies, good!"
Qian XiaoYong looked at Mo Wenjie upon hearing this, "Brother, no need for formalities among family. We're close brothers; there's no need to be so polite. Later, when the families of the girls come over, you'll have to put on a good show!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Qian XiaoYong and said, "I understand, big brother. Today, I will definitely make everyone satisfied!"
Hu Jiaojiao, along with Jiang Yurou and all members of the Jiang family, arrived at the Yu Lin Xianfu hotel. She giggled at Mo Wenjie and said, "I've brought Rainy to her family and us here. What happens next depends entirely on you. If you perform well today, our engagement banquet will be a complete success. However, if you disappoint everyone, today's event won't count. The success or failure of today is all up to you!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Hu Jiaojiao upon hearing this. "Sister-in-law Jiao Jiao, you can't just stand by! After all, you are related to them. It's very necessary for you to say a few good things for your brother-in-law. I hope you can lend a hand to your brother, and I will certainly be grateful later!"
Hu Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "I can't let you push the responsibility entirely on me, brother. Why don't you go and greet them yourself? Can I do it for you?" She quickly grabbed Jiang Yurou and made her introduce her family to Mo Wenjie. "Just follow along and call them by their names!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Jiang Yurou and said, "Miss Jiang, hello. Let's go meet your relatives together?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao was angry. She stepped forward and grabbed Mo Wenjie's ear, exclaiming, "Are you an idiot? How do you address someone like that? Have you forgotten that Rainy is going to be your future wife? You call her like that, you really are an idiot!"
Mo Wenjie cried out in pain, "Ow! Ow! Sister-in-law, please let go. I know I made a mistake. This time, I promise to make you happy!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao released Mo Wenjie's ear and said in a hurry, "Alright, get moving. Don't keep on stalling. The other two families are here now. Don't blame me for not warning you; your performance today represents the Lord of Territory. You need to be careful."
Mo Wenjie looked at Hu Jiaojiao helplessly and shook his head. He came to Jiang Yurou's side, took her hand in his, and opened his mouth tenderly: "Yurou, it's inconvenient for me to introduce myself to your family. Could you please show me around?"
Jiang Yurou blushed and lowered her head, frantically nodding her head. This is my father, Jiang Peng, this is my mother, Liang Jingyi. This is my uncle Jiang Yuhao, my aunt Yang Xiaoqing. This is my cousin Jiang Xiaoyu, his wife Qian Hongxia, sister-in-law Jiang Yu Tong and her husband Liu Yonglin. My younger brother Jiang Feng and younger sister Jiang Yu Qing! He is Mo Wenjie!
The Jiang family members all nodded and gave gestures of acknowledgment. After the greetings were exchanged.
Hu Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "Today is the engagement banquet of Brother Wenjie and Yurou. As a representative of the male party and the female party, I first bow on behalf of the male party to everyone present. And as a representative of the male party, I would like to present a souvenir to all the ladies present. I promise that everyone will like it. I guarantee that all the ladies will be satisfied!"
All the women of the Jiang family were very curious and expressed their desire to know what kind of gift was being offered.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at the crowd and giggled. "Brother Wenjie here says he wants to give each of you a beauty pill. As everyone knows, the price of beauty pills is not cheap, so I hope you all will be satisfied!"
The women of the Jiang family all shouted in unison upon hearing this, "Very satisfied, very satisfied! It's too satisfying!"
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Yurou and said, "Is your cousin happy with his performance?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yurou lowered her head and nodded with a blush spreading across her face.
Hu Jiaojiao saw this and chuckled, "Nodding doesn't count. We need to express our satisfaction with words!"
Jiang Yurou shot her a fierce glance, blushed and lowered her head, and whispered softly, "Satisfied!"
Hu Jiaojiao giggled upon hearing this. "Brother Wenjie, you've passed the Jiang family's test. Whether or not you can pass the other two families' tests depends on you!"
Xiao Yanan looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Your performance just now was decent. Whether or not you can make my sister satisfied is up to you!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Xiao Yawen, who had some experience now and wasn't as timid. He walked up to Xiao Yawen and took her hand, saying, "Yawen, please introduce your family to me!"
Xiao Yawen nodded upon hearing this, took Mo Wenjie's hand, and led him to the family members. "This is my grandfather, Xiao Yuan Shan; my grandmother, Lü Yan; my father, Xiao Chang He; my mother, Feng Suju; my elder uncle, Xiao Chang Lin; his wife, Jing Xi Juan; my third uncle, Xiao Chang Jiang; his wife, Mei Hongyun; my cousin Xiao Yaxuan and his wife Du Mingyue; my brother Xiao Zhexue and his wife Qin Wenjing; my elder sister Xiao Yajuan and her husband Ma Guoqiang; my younger brother Xiao Yaping; my cousin Xiao Yaping; and my cousin Xiao Yarui! He is Mo Wenjie!"
Everyone in the Xiao family greeted Mo Wenjie.
Xiao Yanan looked at Mo Wenjie, smiled, and nodded. "Brother Wenjie, what are you planning to do? Is it up to me to decide or you?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wenjie looked at Xiao Yanan. "No matter which side I am on, it's your decision. On one hand, you're my sister-in-law, and on the other hand, you're also my elder sister-in-law. So today, it's up to you to make the decision!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanan smiled and nodded. "Since you let me decide, I will announce that every female present today from the Xiao family will receive a beauty pill. Everyone knows the specific effects and price of beauty pills, so this is a present from my second brother, Wenjie, to all of you. I hope you will be satisfied!"
The women of the Xiao family, of course, were aware of the price and effects of beauty pills. They had already heard about them from Xiao Yanan, so they all expressed their satisfaction.
Xiao Yanan looked at Mo Wenjie and smiled, pointing at her younger sister. She, of course, couldn't tease her own sister directly, so she could only hint at it and let Mo Wenjie ask himself.
Mo Wenjie looked at Xiao Ayuan, then at Xiao Yanan, and couldn't help but come to Xiao Yanan's side. "Do you think it's appropriate for me to ask?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanan looked at Mo Wenjie, and felt like giving him a few kicks. Ayuan is my younger sister, how can I tease her? You're just not getting it! You really don't have any common sense. Do you really think someone needs to teach you how to make pills? I honestly wonder if you actually made the pills yourself. How could someone with your intelligence manage to make them?
Seeing that Xiao Yanan wasn't going to help him out and he couldn't just keep silent, Mo Wenjie realized he had to say something. "Forget it, I'll ask myself. There's a way forward even if there's no way back. Since Jiang Yurou answered 'satisfied,' maybe Xiao Ayuan will too!" He thought this and then said, "Ayuang, am I satisfying you with my performance today?"
