The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie

Chapter 306: 306: Engagement and Chasing Wife in the Snow (First Update

March 31, it was an auspicious day for everything.

The engagement party was held at the Xue Family’s own clubhouse, and because Fang Lixiang was pregnant, the engagement party procedures were simplified. The main purpose was to introduce her to the relatives and let the outside world catch a glimpse of the Xue Family’s daughter-in-law.

People from the worlds of business, politics, and the military were all invited in droves. Essentially, anyone with a reputation in Imperial City was present, except for the media.

At that moment, Feng Zhanling was busy introducing his daughter-in-law to relatives in the banquet hall. Coincidentally, people from Old Master Xue’s second brother’s side had also arrived.

Old Master Xue had three siblings, the youngest of whom had moved abroad years ago and had emigrated with her family, while the second elder brother’s family also worked for the Xue family business. Due to family business disputes, their faces and hearts were at odds for many years, yet they had never torn their relationship completely.

“Second sister-in-law,” said Ms. Zhao, the youngest daughter-in-law from that side. She scrutinized Fang Lixiang with a lingering gaze, “This is the one, right? Today’s star?”

Feng Zhanling affirmed, linking arms with Fang Lixiang congenially, and introduced her, “This is your second great-aunt’s fourth sister-in-law.” And behind them was another woman, “That is your second great-uncle’s first aunt.”

The latter was the eldest daughter-in-law of the second elder brother’s family, Mrs. Song.

Wei’er had seen Mrs. Song on television before; she was quite a significant official.

“Fourth sister-in-law, first aunt, greetings.”

Ms. Zhao was rather plump with a round face and small eyes, her face always adorned with a smile, “You’re really beautiful, no wonder Bao Yi likes you.”

Mrs. Song picked up the conversation, “Which girl in their circle isn’t pretty?” She joked, “But being too beautiful and proper makes them harder to recognize.”

In her words, there was a hint of an official’s tone—smiling, yet with a sharp and slick demeanor.

Feng Zhanling stood between the two women, her petite stature and doll-like youthful face making her seem out of place amongst her peers. She spoke softly, appearing quite harmless, with a touch of bewildered surprise in her eyes, “So to be easily recognized, should everyone look strangely ugly?”
