Qi Xin and Gu Guanlin being together ca as a complete surprise to Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue.
They hadn't been together for long, and now they were already getting engaged?
They couldn't believe that there was no catch to this.
Qi Zhi'an and Ling Xiao were willing to believe in Qi Xin's innocence, but Xia Xibei, not being her parent, wasn't so foolish.
However, she also didn't understand why Qi Xin suddenly tead up with Gu Guanlin.
What benefits were there in it for her?
Due to the status of Qi Xin and Gu Guanlin, their engagent ceremony was grand.
After all, both of them were descendants of ancient martial arts families.
Even though Qi Xin's position was sowhat awkward, her many years in the Qi family and her own strength ensured that her status was not greatly affected.
Even the patriarch treated her well, since she had been cherished as a granddaughter for so many years.
As for Gu Guanlin, he was now the heir of the Gu family, which made his identity even more different.
Therefore, their engagent was a significant event.
Although they weren't at the age for marriage yet, they could hold the engagent ceremony first to establish their status.
The chosen location for the engagent was an island owned by the Gu family.
It was a picturesque private island, and without the host's invitation, others couldn't easily access it, ensuring the tranquility of the banquet.
For the children of these influential families, having houses and even islands was as common as buying cabbages.
Ever since Gu Guanlin pushed Gu Yinglei aside and beca the heir of the Gu family, the situation changed.
After all, he was the most outstanding successor of the Gu family.
Joining forces with Qi Xin made it a formidable alliance.
Therefore, this engagent ceremony was extrely grand.
They invited many guests to attend the banquet, and Xia Xibei was among those invited.
However, doubts arose in Xia Xibei's mind about the invitation.
To reach the island, they naturally had to take a boat, and during that journey… Sothing could happen.
Could Qi Xin have planned it this way?
Neither Xia Xibei nor Qiao Yanjue believed that Qi Xin and Gu Guanlin's engagent ceremony was genuine.
However, they couldn't tell Qi Zhi'an and the others that sothing was amiss.
If they were to voice their suspicions, who knew what conflicts it could cause.
Therefore, after discussing it, Xia Xibei decided to attend the ceremony.
If there really was a problem, it could be resolved on the spot.
However, before setting off, Xia Xibei prepared many things.
They wouldn't be so foolish as to go there without any preparations, fully aware that the other party had ill intentions.
The engagent party between the two families was quite grand, and with sufficient funds in place, it was quickly organized.
Within a month's ti, before the arrival of the new year, the party began.
On the day before the engagent party, guests started arriving on the island, one after another.
This island was a private one and had been well maintained.
Although everyone coming here was wealthy, not everyone owned an island.
Once they arrived, they were captivated by the beauty of the place.
This ti, Xia Xibei ca to the island along with other mbers of the Qi family, but Qiao Yanjue was not among them.
Xia Xibei explained that Qiao Yanjue happened to have sothing to take care of.
Besides, if he were to appear, their relationship would be discovered by other guests.
She didn't want to reveal her relationship with Qiao Yanjue just yet.
Everyone didn't think too much about this explanation and accepted it instantly.
