C535 The Woman Who Threw Herself into His Arms During the Ceremony
When Soong Yiren, Gong Lingye, and the people from the Shangguan Family arrived, many of the guests had also arrived.
They saw Beiming Shen arrive today. He was wearing a black Tang suit. He looked a lot more serious than usual.
He was greeting the guests. When he saw Soong Yiren and Gong Lingye, he immediately walked over.
"Fourth Young Master, Fourth Young Madam." He greeted them and said, "There are many guests today. If there is a place where you do not greet well, please forgive us."
Gong Lingye and Beiming Shen were exchanging pleasantries. Soong Yiren, on the other hand, was observing Beiming Shen from such a close distance since she was reborn.
When she was still Soong Yiren, Beiming Shen was a person who was even harder to get close to than Chu Mingyao to her.
However, Chu Mingyao had always been gentle to her. Although he did not take her heart, their relationship could still be considered pleasant.
As for Beiming Shen, because of his indifferent personality... Therefore, she didn't actually say much to him.
After that, when her family was in trouble, she never thought that the person behind it was actually Beiming Shen's father, the Beiming Kun whom she had met once or twice when she was young.
At this moment, Beiming Shen sat on Beiming Kun's seat. Those past events once again clearly fell in front of Soong Yiren.
It was a lie to say that he didn't hate her, but every injustice had its debtor. When the conspiracy started, Beiming Shen was just a child.
However, no matter what, she would never forgive them in her life.
She originally had a perfect and beautiful home, a parents who loved her, and a cute little brother. But in the end, even she died once.
All of this J Nation, these so-called fame and fortune, were just shackles that bound people!
She opened her mouth and said, "Thank you, Patriarch Beiming, congratulations!"
Beiming Shen looked into Soong Yiren's eyes. He did not know whether it was his misconception or not, but he felt that the girl in front of him looked young to be ignorant of the world, but the moment she looked into his eyes, she seemed to have many complex emotions.
He thought in his heart, but he really could not understand. So he just nodded. "Thank you, Fourth Young Madam."
He turned around and continued to greet the other guests.
As for Soong Yiren, she could not help but hug Gong Lingye's arm tightly.
He knew her current mood because he and she shared the same mood.
Gong Lingye lowered his head and whispered into Soong Yiren's ear, "Yiren, I have always been by your side."
It was rare for him to call her that. Soong Yiren's heart was moved and she nodded, "Yes."
The time of succession for the family head was set at ten in the morning.
At around nine in the morning, Beiming Mo, as the eldest daughter of Beiming Family, also came out to greet the guests.
Her complexion had completely recovered. She stood beside Beiming Shen and listened to him introduce everyone to her, so she shook her hand and smiled.
Xuanyuan Che turned his eyes and saw Beiming Mo beside Beiming Shen.
He didn't know if it was his misconception, but he felt that Beiming Shen treated Beiming Mo better than siblings.
They stood side by side. Although the man still wore a mask on his face, he had an indifferent and powerful aura. He had an indescribable harmony with Beiming Mo, who was chatting casually beside him.
Although he knew that the two of them were not related by blood, Xuanyuan Che still felt that he had thought too much.
He shook off the doubts in his mind and walked over to greet the two of them.
Finally, it was ten o'clock in the morning. The old man in charge of etiquette from the Beiming Family slowly walked to the center and said, "The inheritance ceremony of the Beiming Family's patriarch has officially begun."
As his words faded, the bell in the distance rang ten times.
After that, Beiming Shen took the incense offerings from him and arrived in front of the memorial tablet.
Soong Yiren and Gong Lingye stood side by side in the crowd. Looking at the memorial tablets, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
In the past, it was reasonable for the Rong Family to not save the Beiming Family because of the Emperor's order. Although they had their own selfish motives, if they saved the other party, they would be able to exchange it for the death of their own family members. Then, perhaps the Beiming Family wouldn't do such a thing when the situation was reversed.
As for the Gong Family, it was an undeserved calamity. They were merely tools used by the Emperor when they were ordered to take over the family.
However, the hatred brought by the past was directed to the innocent. It made people feel angry and sad at the same time.
On the other side, Beiming Shen had already offered incense and took a cloak from the old man.
On the cloak, there was a lifelike eagle embroidered with black and golden threads.
He turned around. He said to everyone in a clear voice, "Today, I, Beiming Shen will inherit the position of Patriarch Beiming, and I will advance and retreat together with the Beiming Family!"
From now on, all of his responsibilities and glory were tied to this family. The rise and fall of this family was his responsibility, and he couldn't afford to hesitate or run away.
His dead father and younger brother, all of their hopes and pressure... He would shoulder all of them by himself, and his way of thinking would be based on the interests of his family.
Shangguan Ao, Xuanyuan Wei, and the other family heads of some other families in J Country couldn't help congratulating him. "Congratulations, Patriarch Beiming!"
"Thank you, everyone, for your congratulations. Please move to the guest hall and have a lunch together!" Beiming Shen said.
Thus, everyone went to the hall together, and then they exchanged greetings and toasts.
Soong Yiren and Gong Lingye came out ahead of time.
After all, this place was not a pleasant memory for them.
However, when the two of them left, a pair of eyes looked at the two of them who were walking side by side with envy in their eyes.
After Xuanyuan Yao learned that Gong Lingye saw her video, the charming thoughts that she had towards Gong Lingye were mercilessly extinguished.
At this moment, she retracted her gaze and looked at Beiming Shen who was on the stage.
She remembered that many years ago, she had fallen in love with him at first sight. All these years, after experiencing all sorts of things, she still had a kind of persistence in her heart.
She held the wine glass and walked step by step towards Beiming Shen.
"Patriarch Beiming, congratulations. Let me give you a toast!" She smiled at him and raised the wine glass.
In front of everyone, Beiming Shen naturally would not not not give Xuanyuan Yao face.
He raised his glass and clinked it with hers. "Thank you, Miss Xuanyuan."
She drank the wine in one gulp, but when she put down the glass, her body tilted and fell towards Beiming Shen.
They were very close, and she fell straight into his arms. Her eyes carried a hazy drunkenness as she looked at her.
At this moment, almost everyone's gaze fell on her. After all, Beiming Shen was the main character of today's event.
"Miss Xuanyuan, you are drunk." There was no change in Beiming Shen's expression as he directly helped Xuanyuan Yao up.
Her eyes were still glued to his body, and her voice was also affected by the alcohol. "Patriarch Beiming, I did not. I have always been clear-headed and knew what I wanted."
As soon as she finished speaking, almost everyone pricked up their ears.
This was today's gossip! Beiming Shen had just inherited the position of Patriarch when Xuanyuan Yao threw herself into his arms.
Right, Didn't Xuanyuan Yao have a relationship with Xuanyuan Lin previously? What, now that she had thought it through, she couldn't go against the rules?
