As they made their grand entrance into the beautifully adorned banquet hall, heads turned in unison, the reverberating echo of heels against the pristine floor adding a symphony of elegance to the night's proceedings.
Moments later, Jordy's dignified aunt, Ji Yung, ascended the stage with poise and grace, commanding the attention of the esteemed guests gathered
your presence at this enchanting banquet. I am honored to introduce this lovely lady, the newest member of our esteemed Ji family," Ji Yung announced with pride, extending her hand towards Emelia Guang, who greeted the gesture with eager anticipation, exuding an air of coquettish charm.
However, Jordy, in a surprising turn of events, joined his aunt on stage, creating a momentary air of anticipation, as if formalities were about to be acknowledged. Yet, what unfolded next left the audience in a state of astonishment.
"I'm sorry to say this but I didn't come here to accept this engagement but rather to annul it" Jordy said
"Min Jun, what are you doing? I already told you, if you can't find a girlfriend you will be engaged to Emelia" his aunt bellowed in anger but Jordy merely chuckled.
"Who said I didn't have a girlfriend?" Jordy asked
"Jun, grandma knows you are against this engagement but that doesn't mean you should lie to get away from it" His grandma spoke this time. She was not in support of Emelia being her granddaughter in-law but she couldn't support her grandson lying either
However, Jordy went to meet his grandma and took her hand reassuringly.
"Grandma, I'm really not lying. I have a girlfriend or rather a wife" Jordy said lifting his marriage certificate for everyone to see.
"What?!!! How could that be? You must have faked a certificate. Open it up for us to see" his aunt said
"Aunt, isn't that just for you to see the woman I married? Unfortunately, I won't do that. Although my marriage is no longer secret, I want the identity of my wife to remain so. But to clear your doubts, I will show it to grandma and grandpa to check the authenticity" Jordy said and did as he said, showing the marriage certificate to his grandparents who confirmed the authenticity of the certificate.
"Jun, I like this granddaughter, bring her over to see us sometime" his grandma said
"Actually grandma, my wife is right here" Jordy said and walked over to where lianne stood quietly eating a cupcake. She grudgingly dropped it back after taking a huge bite as all attention shifted towards her.
However, Jordy picked it up and handed it over to her again restraining himself from kissing her chubby cheeks that moved as she ate the cupcake in her mouth.
He held her free hand and led her to where his grandparents stood.
"Grandma, grandpa, meet Xiaomi, my wife" Jordy introduced intentionally avoiding mentioning her name.
"Oh, what a darling" his grandma exclaimed after Lianne greeted them. His grandpa even went as far as hugging her.
"Welcome to the family" he said, tears visible in his eyes.
"Come on, you don't have to be all emotional right now grandpa" Jordy said placing his arms around his grandpa's shoulder in a comforting gesture
"I've waited for this moment since a long time. And now that I'm seeing my granddaughter in-law I can't help but be like this" his grandpa explained
"You should come visit grandpa sometime, Xiaomi" his grandpa said
"Don't worry about that. I'll bring her over soon" Jordy said.
He then went ahead to take the mic again. I'm sorry this banquet did not go as planned but I won't be forced to marry someone I have no feelings for. Most especially when I'm married already. So with this, I, Ji Mi Jun, the eldest grandson of the Ji family cuts of the engagement with Emelia the granddaughter of the Guang family" Jordy said and with that he exited the hall with Lianne.
Many news outlets followed them but were blocked off by the bodyguards.
