Chapter 131: Duan Qingxue's Indifference
Xiao Yun was preparing to rush over and take Duan Qingxue away from Wilson when, at that moment, the lively dance music came to an abrupt stop.
Little Bell advised, "Kid, don't be impulsive. Act according to the situation!"
Watching the men and women disperse from the dance floor, Xiao Yun had no choice but to suppress his inner fury and sit back down.
Duan Haoran looked at Xiao Yun's changing expression in surprise and asked, "Xiao Yun, what's wrong?"
"Heh heh, Old Master Duan, it's nothing!" Xiao Yun replied, but his gaze suddenly turned cold again.
He saw Wilson still holding onto Duan Qingxue's hand, refusing to let go, standing in the center of the hall.
Wilson glanced sideways at Xiao Yun, a cold smile appearing on his face, though it quickly softened.
His gaze swept across everyone present as he laughed loudly, "I—Wilson, from America, thank you all for coming today. Now, I want to announce something to everyone here. This beautiful lady beside me has been promised to me many years ago by her grandfather, Old Master Duan. Today, I am here to formally propose to Miss Qingxue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, applause erupted in the hall led by Duan Qingyu.
Xiao Yun's expression changed slightly, but a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
He thought Wilson was an idiot; Duan Qingxue would never accept his proposal.
Hao Meiyun and Fang Xiaolu looked at Xiao Yun with concern.
Duan Haoran appeared calm and composed as he sat there like a mountain, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his grandson Xiao Yun and thought to himself, "Xiao Yun, it's your turn now!"
"Kid, go for it!" Little Bell said from the Storage Ring as she tossed out a bouquet of vibrant red roses.
This bouquet of red roses was bought by Xiao Yun on the way here.
Xiao Yun held the red roses in both hands, suddenly stood up straight, and walked calmly to the center of the hall, completely ignoring Wilson's presence. He extended the roses toward Duan Qingxue and said:
"Sister Qingxue, I don't care who Old Master Duan previously promised you to, but I know that marriage is a personal matter, and others have no right to interfere. Today, since everyone is here, I, Xiao Yun, want to propose to you!"
"Son, Mom supports you!" Hao Meiyun couldn't help but clap excitedly.
However, the applause in response was minimal, making the hall feel too quiet.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
Many people stared at this guy with strange looks. Even Shen Tieshan felt frustrated: Did Xiao Yun take the wrong medicine? Today’s grand banquet of the Duan Family was specifically set up for Wilson.
Behind the crowd, Ouyang Bing also looked at Xiao Yun with an unusual gaze, feeling somewhat at a loss about his sudden action. Was he really trying to disrupt the event?
More people seemed energized, their eyes filled with excitement as they sensed that a good show was about to unfold at the Duan Family's grand banquet.
At this moment, the expressions of the Duan Family's younger generation turned sour. Duan Shaohang's face darkened as he suddenly slammed the table and shouted: "Xiao Yun, although you have done a favor for my uncle, you cannot act recklessly here. You should know that today’s banquet is specifically for Mr. Wilson’s proposal; please show some restraint!"
With Duan Shaohang taking the lead, the other young members of the Duan Family followed suit:
"This kid is simply outrageous; who does he think he is?"
"Exactly! What kind of person is Mr. Wilson? Can you compare to him?"
"He should take a good look at himself; our Duan Family's precious daughter would never marry someone so insignificant!"
"Where are the security guards? Why haven't they thrown him out yet?"
Faced with the jumble of remarks, Duan Haoran found it difficult to intervene. At that moment, he could only hope that Duan Qingxue would speak up. As long as she publicly declared her willingness to be Xiao Yun's fiancée, Wilson would have no choice but to relent.
No matter how powerful Wilson was, he couldn't forcibly abduct Qingxue in Huaxia.
At that point, Duan Haoran would have a way out and naturally a strategy to deal with Wilson.
Thus, Duan Haoran fixed his gaze on Duan Qingxue's face.
"Sister Qingxue, I love you. Please agree to my proposal!" Xiao Yun completely ignored the scorn from the Duan family members and gazed at Duan Qingxue with a smile.
All eyes were on Duan Qingxue.
The entire hall fell into an unusual silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Duan Haoran, Hao Meiyun, and those close to Xiao Yun held their breath, quietly waiting for Duan Qingxue's reaction.
Meanwhile, Duan Qingyu and the others gritted their teeth, secretly clenching their fists, wishing they could rush over and beat Xiao Yun to a pulp.
After a long pause...
"I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal!" Facing Xiao Yun's confession, Duan Qingxue's face turned pale as she trembled and spoke.
Her words struck Xiao Yun like a thunderbolt overhead, causing him to shudder in shock, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Wait, how could this happen? Hao Meiyun gaped in astonishment; hadn't she been getting along well with my Yun'er? How could she suddenly change her mind?
Duan Haoran's heart felt like it had been struck by lightning; he could hardly believe his ears. Why would Qingxue reject Xiao Yun?
Why was this happening?
Wilson looked at Xiao Yun with an arrogant expression, a smug grin spreading across his face.
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, we Americans believe in fair competition, so I don't mind at all that you proposed to Miss Qingxue. In fact, I find it quite amusing. Now that she has rejected you, I think you should know when to back off!"
"Well, Wilson truly lives up to being from the United States, so generous! I admire you!" At this moment, Song Tianxing jumped in, applauding and cheering.
He felt it was the perfect opportunity to flatter Wilson.
"No, Sister Qingxue,"
Xiao Yun could hardly believe his ears at Duan Qingxue's rejection. He exclaimed loudly, "This can't be your true feelings. I love you, and you love me too, right?"
Duan Qingxue couldn't bear to look into Xiao Yun's eyes. She trembled as she said, "Xiao Yun, I... I've never liked you. Please... don't pursue me anymore!"
Whoosh!
Like a sharp blade, accompanied by a cold whistle, it pierced deeply into Xiao Yun's heart.
His mind shook violently, and he felt as if his eyes were about to burst.
In an instant, he suddenly understood why Duan Qingxue had asked Zhu Yan Hong to return the savings book to him. Had she already prepared to cut ties with him?
A woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the ocean; this change was too swift!
With renewed disbelief, Xiao Yun's lips trembled slightly as he struggled to suppress the intense turmoil within him and murmured, "Qingxue, tell me, what is all of this for?"
"For no reason other than that I love Wilson!" Duan Qingxue suddenly lifted her head and said.
"Uh..." He gazed at Duan Qingxue's face as if he didn't recognize her at all, his eyes filled with confusion. How could she be like this?
He recalled her conversation with Duan Haoran when she first entered the hall, realizing that she had already hinted at wanting to distance herself from Huaxia and follow Wilson to a foreign land.
The cold air seemed to freeze the entire hall.
Duan Qingxue's sudden change also left Duan Haoran stunned; his expression was blank, and his gaze was stiff.
Little Bell, who had been watching coldly, suddenly said to Xiao Yun, "Kid, based on my perception ability, I sensed that Duan Qingxue has been under severe threat. This means that everything she just told you was insincere!"
"Ah, you mean Sister Qingxue has been threatened? You can sense that too?" Xiao Yun asked in shock.
Little Bell replied, "Please trust my perception; it cannot be wrong!"
Xiao Yun activated his Spiritual Sense and indeed found that the Light Money around Duan Qingxue was extremely chaotic, fluctuating significantly. Although he couldn't discern much with his current cultivation level, it was clear that the erratic light emitted from her body was highly abnormal.
He suddenly remembered when Duan Qingxue called him to meet at the flower shop to discuss how to deal with Wilson's arrival. The next day when he rushed over, coincidentally Duan Haoran was also there, and her demeanor seemed quite downcast. Had she been threatened by someone before that?
"Sister Qingxue, tell me, have you been threatened by someone?" Xiao Yun grasped Duan Qingxue's hand and directly pressed for an answer.
Upon hearing this, Duan Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly. In an instant, her Willow Brows furrowed as if a gust of wind had swept through, causing a sudden pang of pain in her heart.
She pulled her hand back from Xiao Yun's grasp.
Just as she hesitated to speak, Wilson's face darkened slightly as he chuckled and interjected, "Mr. Xiao, who do you think threatened Miss Qingxue?"
