Chapter 1012 Luxurious and Grand
Because there were so many people giving gifts, even though the four housekeepers of the Ye family kept receiving gifts and the person reading the gift list faster and faster, more than forty minutes still passed in total.
For over forty minutes, almost everyone present was filled with excitement, listened intently, and exclaimed in amazement.
It can be said that even the most prestigious and wealthy families have never seen such a generous gift, let alone experienced such a grand engagement ceremony.
Looking at the mountain of gifts, there was no need to count them one by one to see that the total value of this congratulatory gift was definitely no less than tens of billions.
Tens of billions, what does that even mean?
Even many third-rate families, if they were to exhaust all their assets, would only achieve this much.
Now, the two great families have received such valuable gifts from just one engagement ceremony.
The entire ceremony was broadcast live to the public, and not only did the people present witness such a lavish gift, but the entire capital city went crazy for it.
Countless people stopped what they were doing, scrolled through the live stream videos on their phones, and gazed at the piles of rare treasures, their hearts filled with emotion.
"Is this what they call a wealthy family? Is this what they call a top-tier aristocratic family?"
"Those mountains of rare treasures that we would never even see in our daily lives were just gifts to be given away?"
"What is luxury? What is extravagance? This is true luxury, true extravagance!"
"What kind of fate do Miss Xiao and Young Master Ye have that they could be born into such a family?"
They don't need to struggle at all; these engagement gifts alone are enough to last them for generations!
"Being born into the right family is truly a skill. Why wasn't I born into such a prestigious family? Instead, I have to drive for Didi and deliver food every day."
"Heavens and earth, when will I be the protagonist of this engagement ceremony, even if it's just in a dream!"
……
Ye Haitao and Xiao Ran's engagement banquet was extremely luxurious, causing a sensation throughout the city, touching everyone's heart, and shaking everyone's soul.
However, everyone also noticed a "clown" on the scene, none other than Mrs. Ye.
The Ye family is already a second-generation family. Even if these gifts are priceless, you shouldn't be so blatant about it.
Look at your gaze, your eyes, and your movements. You completely forgot about the people present, completely forgot that someone was broadcasting live, completely forgot that countless eyes were watching you. Can't you tone it down a bit?
Many people secretly mocked Madam Ye.
She was the most excited and thrilled person at the entire event. She received so many gifts that her hands were sore, and her mouth was constantly wide open in a wide grin.
The gift list was finally completed, and all the lavish gifts were received.
Of course, not all gift lists were read aloud one by one.
Those gifts that could be publicly announced were all from top-tier powers; as for the gifts from second-tier powers and families, they were not qualified to be read out one by one.
The Ye family couldn't even count how many of these unreported gifts were, so they could only accept them first and register them one by one later.
The Ye family completely disregarded these congratulatory gifts.
Firstly, these gifts are far less valuable than those from a superpower; more importantly, these people came to give gifts and attend the engagement banquet with the aim of currying favor with the Ye family and establishing connections.
Therefore, the Ye family naturally didn't care at all.
In any case, I received at least five thousand gifts, if not tens of thousands.
Despite their enormous quantity, their overall value remains considerable.
As everyone watched the Ye family busily packing away ordinary gifts, even those worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, such as diamonds and jade necklaces, no one revealed the names of the givers. They were simply handled as ordinary items and hurriedly packed into large boxes.
"I really wonder what these gift-givers would think if they saw this scene?"
"It's really laughable that they spent hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, and they couldn't even catch the eye of the Ye family."
The Ye family had no idea what they had given as gifts or how much money they had spent!
"You can't say that, after all, the other party is the Ye family and the Xiao family."
As long as a gift is given, regardless of its value, it shows that the sentiment is conveyed.
If we don't deliver it, and it ends up in the hands of one of the two great families, we won't even have a chance to beg for help!
"That's right. These people give gifts partly to put their minds at ease and avoid being targeted by the two major families."
Secondly, he hoped that one day in the future he would need the help of these two families!
……
Everyone quickly figured out the purpose of the gifts sent by second- and third-rate families and forces.
This is the world of martial arts, this is the way of human relationships!
Even though they lived in two different worlds from the Ye and Xiao families, one in the heavens and the other on the earth, with no connection whatsoever.
But who can predict when we might need someone's help?
If you need their help in the future, and they bring up the old gift list, and everyone else has something but you don't, it's tantamount to deliberately offending them. Why would they help you then?
They might not only fail to help, but could actually kick you when you're down.
This is why everyone rushes to give gifts; even though they know beforehand that their gifts will end up like this, they still have no choice but to give them.
"This is the first time I've ever witnessed such a lavish scene since I started officiating an engagement ceremony!"
Just looking at these incredibly expensive gifts is an immense honor for me as the host!
After all the gifts were arranged, the male host, David York, began to speak.
These words were not flattery, but rather a heartfelt expression of emotion.
"York, could it be that you've already put yourself in the shoes of the groom-to-be here?"
Female host Li Mengxi joked with a smile.
"That's natural! That's natural!"
"If Young Master Ye is willing, I'll kowtow three times to him right now and immediately switch identities with him!"
"York David said quickly."
As he spoke, he made an exaggerated gesture, bending his knees as if he were actually going to kneel down to Ye Haitao.
Upon seeing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that this is the host trying to liven up the atmosphere.
"No, no, no, David York, please don't be presumptuous, and you mustn't actually kneel down!"
Even if you kneel until your knees break, our Mr. Ye Haitao will never agree.
You should know that Miss Xiao is Mr. Ye's dream girl, whom he has been pursuing for over twenty years. He spent countless efforts and sincerity to win her over. How could you possibly win her over by kneeling?
Would you like to hear the heart-stirring and enchanting love story of Mr. Ye and Ms. Xiao?
The female host, Li Mengxi, immediately stepped forward, stood in front of York David, reached out and pulled him up, and said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, my dearest Miss Li Mengxi, you're right. I must have been out of my mind. The two protagonists went through so much hardship to be together, how could I possibly get that by kneeling down?"
If kneeling could grant one's wishes, wouldn't all men in the world kneel down?
Gentlemen here, don't you agree?
York David shouted exaggeratedly again, while pointing the microphone at the audience.
A chorus of agreement immediately erupted from the audience: "Mr. York is right, if we could, we would kneel down now!"
Everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere became even more lively.
