Ah Qian had just finished speaking when the smile on Guan Hao's face instantly froze. The venue fell silent for a moment, only to erupt into a clamor shortly after.
All the guests, looking utterly astonished, turned their gazes toward the Lin Family's table.
"Elder Lin, congratulations! Congratulations indeed!" someone took the lead in shouting.
Then, the other guests began to come forward, wine glasses in hand, to offer their good wishes.
Lin Daqi still hadn't snapped back to reality and stood dazed on the spot. The other members of the Lin Family also appeared petrified, the moment feeling so surreal it was like a dream.
Meanwhile, Guan Hao's expression had turned exceedingly ugly. Those congratulatory voices were grating to his ears.
"Enough! All of you, get out!" he roared.
The guests who had come forward were startled into a daze, unsure what new madness Young Master Guan was about to unleash. They quickly left with apologetic smiles.
