Chapter 66: Robbing the Groom?

  After the wedding of Sanada Munetoshi and Nishikie Yukimaru, Masayuki took Sanada on a trip under the pretext of taking time off, following Sanada Munetoshi on their honeymoon, but with a different route.

  In these nearly two months since Yafeng and they left, there have been many stories among these people in Japan, the most exciting of which is that Renzong is about to get engaged.

  The engagement party of the next heir of the Shinzuka family and the daughter of Japan's famous corporate family, Sato, naturally attracted attention from all over Japan. On the day of the party, not only were all the big shots from Japan's political and economic circles gathered, but also some old families participated, and tennis players from Kanto's top tennis schools were invited to attend, so it can be said that this engagement party was absolutely lively and extraordinary.

  As the male lead of this dinner party, Shinso looked at the lively dinner with a cold eye, wondering what he was thinking. Ken, dressed in white, stood beside him, looking at him with complex eyes. On the other side, Shota also noticed Shinso's unusual emotions. However, Shinso's wife Hinata didn't notice the subtle atmosphere and joked as usual: "Shinso, today you're going to marry a beautiful woman, why aren't you happy? Are you worried that you won't be able to hang out with beauties anymore?"

  "Ha! How could that be? Besides, does sister think I'm the kind of person who can be tied down just because I've got a fiancée?"

  "What's with that expression?" Hina asked, puzzled. But soon she realized and asked: "You're unhappy because Yafeng can't make it to your engagement party, aren't you?"

  At this time, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened even more. "Sister is really too clever, Yafeng said she couldn't bear to see me marry another woman, so she said she would absolutely not come back."

  Listening to Nino's obviously nonsensical words, Hina nodded as if she understood something. Ken and Shouta couldn't hold back their laughter anymore, and the atmosphere was completely improved at this point.

  At this time, in a corner of the grand hall where the banquet was held, a group of tennis princes were also engaged in a heated discussion.

  Koumura said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that among us, Shinso would be the first to get engaged."

  Shiroishi said with a bitter smile: "If there was a choice, Yuuki would absolutely not be engaged now."

  Some people understood it, some didn't, but they don't need to delve deeper into this matter.

  Chrysanthemum asked while looking around, "Hasn't Yafeng really come back? Isn't she the younger sister of Renzoku? How can she not come back when Renzoku is getting engaged?"

  "But two days ago when she called me, she said she wanted to stay in China for a while longer." Tao Cheng received.

  "It's been so long since I've seen Kotohiko and Masakazu, it's really nostalgic." Yukimura said in his gentle voice, but the people present felt a chilling coldness that pierced to the bone.

  At eight o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began. Everyone took their seats according to their identity, and under the leadership of the host, the male and female protagonists of this engagement party stepped onto the central stage.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the engagement party of Mr. Shinso Hifumi from the Shinso family and Miss Satō Tae from the Satō family. Let's congratulate this perfect couple with warm applause." After a round of applause, the emcee continued: "Wow, our Miss Satō is truly as beautiful as an angel today, isn't she, Mr. Shinso?"

  With his usual charming smile, Rin looked at Satou until she turned bright red and lowered her head in embarrassment. The host also laughed like a flower, "It seems that our Rin-sama and Satou-san are really deeply in love, it's truly enviable. I believe all the guests here want to see the sweet interactions between the two of you, so I don't know if our Rin-sama can formally propose to our beautiful and lovely Satou-san on this stage?"

  The host's words had barely fallen when another round of warm applause erupted, while Sato looked like a shy but expectant groom, his eyes shining with unshed tears. Rinso was still smiling charmingly, but those who knew him could see that he was already getting impatient. However, this engagement ceremony had to go smoothly, and this woman he had to take home - it was an unavoidable responsibility as the heir of the Rinso family.

  He took the rose and ring from the emcee, slowly walking step by step closer to Satou. He stopped one step away from Satou, just as he was about to say something...

  "Wait a minute."

  A loud shout interrupted the proposal and attracted everyone's attention, only to see that the person standing at the entrance of the venue was none other than Yafeng and Shinoda, who had left for almost two months.

  "Yousheng brother, you got engaged without even waiting for me to come back, that's really not right." Yafeng said with dissatisfaction and grievance.

  Yin Feng's proposal was interrupted by Ya Feng, but instead of being unhappy, Nian Zu felt a sense of relief wash over him. Watching Ya Feng's playful and mischievous expression even added a few sparks to the gloomy mood that had been weighing on his heart for days.

  "Sorry, this engagement was arranged in a bit of a rush, and didn't you say you were going to stay in China for a few more days? So I thought you wouldn't be able to make it back."

  "Excuses, all of them."

  Yahiko didn't buy the account of Shinobu at all, but she did walk in from the entrance and greeted the elders of the Sanada and Shinobu families before running up onto the stage. The host was filled with surprise at this sudden appearance of a woman, especially since she had run up onto the stage, which made the host quite nervous.

  "Miss, would you please sit down below now? Our groom is going to propose to our bride."

  The host politely asked Yafeng to go down, but... "Wait a minute, after all, the proposal is not urgent, and Brother Yu won't run away. Let me ask Miss Sato a few questions."

  Yahiko stepped aside to block her path, and the emcee walked towards Nintou and Satou. The people in the audience who knew her were thinking about what kind of trouble Yahiko was going to cause, because they all knew that the young lady of the Sanada family wasn't someone who didn't know how to behave. Those who didn't know her were guessing at Yahiko's identity, wondering who would dare be so bold at this engagement party.

  "Hi, Satou-san, we meet again." Yafeng greeted Satou in a friendly manner.

  "Hello, Satou-san." Although Sato was annoyed that Yafeng's sudden visit interrupted her engagement ceremony, she still greeted him in a friendly manner due to his status.

  "Does Yasaka know Sato?" Nintaro asked.

  "It's been two years since we last met." Yafeng replied, then asked Satou, "Miss Satou, I heard that you and Ushi-onii were engaged when you were very young by your family elders, is that true?"

  Sato's face darkened for a moment but immediately brightened as he replied: "Yes."

  "Really? It's truly rare nowadays, cases of childhood sweethearts ending up together are very few."

  Sato smiled silently but her eyes had something obscure and unclear.

  "I heard it was because your mother and my aunt were good friends in the past that's why this marriage was arranged, right?"

  Sato's smile on his face stiffened a little.

  "Miss, if you want to have a detailed conversation with Xia Wei, it's better to wait until the ceremony is over. After all, there are so many guests waiting and watching now." A middle-aged woman stood up and said to Yafeng.

  "Ah, you must be Mrs. Sato, you're really beautiful."

  Mrs. Sato smiled faintly and said, "Thank you." Just as she was about to say something else, Yafeng continued, "I heard that you are Mrs. Sato's stepmother, but seeing how much you care for her, you must be a very kind person."

  When Yafeng finished speaking, the Sato family's faces stiffened, but soon Mrs. Sato regained her composure and said, "Sayori is a very kind and well-behaved child, anyone would love her dearly."

  Yah Feng looked at Ren Zu with a sudden realization and teased: "Ren Zu, it seems you've picked up a treasure."

  Ren Zu simply doted on Ya Feng with a gaze, without saying a word.

  "But Satou-san seems to resemble Satou's wife a bit, it's really mysterious." Yafuu suddenly dropped another shocking bombshell.

  The Sato family was shocked again. All the guests were also quietly discussing something under the subtle guidance of Yafeng, as if they were there but not really there.

  Mrs. Sato looked at the guests below and then glanced at Ninsuke's family, who had obviously become suspicious, and hurriedly said: "Probably because I brought a big umbrella, isn't there a saying that if children often look at someone they will slowly grow up to resemble them?"

  "Ah, yes, it seems there is such a saying," Yafeng nodded in agreement, then seemed to think of something and hurriedly looked at Ninsoku and Mei and asked: "Auntie, does Miss Satou resemble your late friend?"

  Ning Zu and Mei carefully looked at Satou Tatsuki again and said, "It's not very similar, maybe she looks more like her father."

  "Oh." Yafeng nodded slightly.

  "Actually, you've also seen her mother's photo, Yafeng." said Ningshu and Mei.

  "What? When?" Yafeng asked in confusion.

  "Didn't I give you a photo of me and your mother before? There was another person in it. That's the mother of Xiaozhi."

  "Oh," Yafeng nodded, then suddenly said: "But this time I went to China and saw a sister who looked very much like that aunt. This time she even met me in Japan, would you like to see her, Mom? She really looks alike."

  Everyone in the Sato family turned pale at Yafeng's words, and Mrs. Sato said with a hint of panic: "Mrs. Shinso, let's focus on the children's engagement ceremony for now, we can talk about other things later, okay?"

  "Since it's a friend brought back by Yafeng, please come in and have dinner with us. Otherwise, others will think that the Shinzu family doesn't even let guests in at the door."

  "Then I'll have them come in." Yafeng said happily, and after seeing Renzu and Mei nodding, he called out to the door: "Jing, bring Snow Xiang Miss and Ye Miss in, please."

  As soon as the elegant words fell, three people walked in. The first was a woman in white kimono named Kaino Shizuka, the second was a handsome woman in black Western-style dress, and the third was a woman in light purple kimono who looked similar to Yafeng but had a gentle and weak temperament like water. As soon as they saw the woman, everyone in the Sato family turned pale.
