Chapter 649
She knew that those men’s eyes must also be attracted by Zoya tonight.
“Tsk, what Zhan family has two beautiful daughters? Only Zhan Mei is Commander Zhan’s biological daughter, okay?” One of Zhan Mei’s friends spoke specially for her. “Before, it was Zhan Mei who liked Ragib first. Now, Zoya is going to arrange the marriage.”
Zhan mei’s other friend sighed and said, “Of course, my mother is the wife of Commander Zhan now. She is Zhan mei’s stepmother. She must be planning for her own daughter.”
The more Zhan Mei listened, the more heart-wrenching she felt… the more hatred she felt.
She did everything she could to fight for Ragib, even to the point of losing her dignity… but Ragib didn’t even spare her a glance.
“You guys tell me.” With reddened eyes, Zhan Mei glared at Zoya, who had come down the stairs with Ragib. “Am I worse than Zoya? I’m not as pretty as she is, and I’m not as charming as she is?”
The two friends glanced at each other across from Zhan Mei and immediately consoled her.
“Of course not. In our eyes, you are much more beautiful than Zoya. She has a pair of big breasts.”
“That’s right Zhan mei, you are the dream lover of those men in the military region.”
Lin and Zara were sitting at a table behind them.
Upon hearing their earlier words, the two snorted.
Zara also said, “But in our opinion, Zoya is the most beautiful woman. Presumably, it is also in Ragib’s eyes. Otherwise, why would he choose Zoya?”
“Not at all.” Lin also firmly retaliated. “What’s more, Zoya is in good shape. When she was in the army, her medical skills were first-class, and she was beautiful and had a good character. Who else would Ragib choose if he didn’t choose such an excellent woman?”
In front of them, Zhan Mei’s face gradually turned pale.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Her two friends immediately turned back and looked at her with sharp eyes.
As guests invited by Zoya, Lin and Zara were not afraid of the Miss Chloe.
“She is.” Zara looked at Zoya in front of her. “Look at her. All the young men are looking at her. It’s not like she’s their dream lover!”
Lin gave another heavy blow and said, “It means that Zoya is the prettiest at this moment!”
“That goes without saying.” Zara continued to sing the two reeds with Lin. “It’s said that Ragib is the dream lover of all female soldiers and many young ladies. Now Zoya is the dream lover of a man. Oh, how a match made in heaven. What a perfect match! It’s really a match made in heaven! How enviable!”
Zara also said as he applauded a few times.
Now even Zhan Mei’s friend’s face is distorted.
Zhan Mei’s two friends gritted their teeth and said, “Zhan mei, how dare they be rude to you, Miss Chloe of the Zhan family! Throw them out!”
But at this time, the engagement ceremony had already begun, and nothing could go wrong in the banquet hall.
Zhan Mei knew that Commander Zhan would blame her if there was a dispute between her and the guests, and her natural and proper image would also be damaged!
She said coldly, “Let them wait and see. See if they are a match made in heaven…”
Her two friends looked at Zhan Mei and could not understand what she was saying. They could only see the smile in her eyes.
In front of them, Ragib, who was dressed in a suit, led Zoya to the stage. He stood in front of the microphone and said to the senior officials and officers in the entire banquet hall,
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my and Zoya’s engagement. This is cur honor. At the same time, we thank my father General, Commander Zhan, as well as your matchmakers, for pulling red lines for us. Thank you here.”
Although he and Zoya had known each other by themselves, on such an occasion, there were bound to be nice conversations!
As for Ragib, who was good at dealing with the affairs of the world, he naturally knew how to enliven the atmosphere of a banquet.
As expected.
As soon as he finished his words, all the people on the scene burst into a warm round of applause!
“Mrs. Ragib, this Colonel is really good at talking!”
“Mrs. Colonel, Miss Zoya is also very beautiful. She has an extraordinary temperament!”
With a smile on their faces, Mrs. Colonel and Mrs. Zhan were praising each other’s sons and daughters under the stage. It was as if they had become in-laws.
However, General and Commander Zhan darkened their faces.
General was angry that Ragib did not come out to welcome his father.
Commander Zhan felt that Ragib did not have an engagement with Zoya in his military uniform… He suspected that Ragib had the intention of looking down on the Zhan Family.
Commander Zhan immediately shot a glance at the emcee on the stage and motioned for the emcee to go and get Ragib to give an explanation. After all, there were so many soldiers in the entire banquet hall, so the rest of the people would definitely be suspicious about this issue.
The director on the stage nodded his head. Just as he picked up the microphone and wanted to ask Ragib, Ragib took the initiative to ask this question.
“In everyone’s eyes, I’ve seen your doubts,” Ragib said. “You must be wondering why I’m not wearing military uniform today?”
Hearing this, Zoya immediately turned to look at Ragib.
“By the way, why doesn’t he wear military uniform?”
Isn’t he a soldier?
“Yes, may I ask, Colonei, what is the reason for this?” asked the emcee.
Ragib thought to himself, why?
Of course, he had forgotten about it.
When he had come to the capital with Zoya, he hadn’t brought his military uniform, and his military uniform wasn’t in the Ragib Family either…
Ragib revealed his most dazzling smile and said solemnly, “That’s because military uniforms are the most sacred. Today, I’m only engaged to Zoya. This is a promise I made for myself. The next time our wedding is held, I’ll marry my beautiful bride in my military uniform!”
Hearing Ragib’s words, the people below him all raised their hands and clapped their hands–
“That’s a good idea!”
“School! We’ll definitely wait for you and Miss Zhan’s wedding!”
And Zoya almost fell to the ground. Married… a wedding?
She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ragib. In her eyes, she said, “What wedding? I’ve only agreed to be engaged to you now. Who’s going to marry you and have a wedding ceremony? Have you discussed this with me?”
Ragib gave her a look of enlightenment. “I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on.”
Otherwise, the media would definitely report to the media tomorrow for the fact that he was not wearing military uniform.
However, Zoya still had a nervous and unnatural look on her face. She could only smile stiffly at the guests.
Below the stage, the military media desperately took pictures of Ragib and Zoya.
“So, my father and the commander might be able to relieve their anger,” Ragib said, “and I have no intention of looking down on this engagement.”
Another burst of laughter came from below.
Commander Zhan only had a similar expression on his face. He nodded with a smile. “Yes, since it’s for this reason that Colonel, we’re waiting for you and Zoya’s grand wedding.”
General Ragib whispered, “You have a glib tongue.”
On the other side, Mrs. Colonel gently patted General arm, signaling him to calm down.
After all, Ragib was someone who had never thought about marrying before. It was already good enough for him to agree to the engagement!
In front, Ragib, who was handsome and heroic, said in a full and mellow voice, “Here, thank you again for coming, leaders and distinguished guests. Zoya and I really like each other. Tonight, we’ll get engaged here. From now on, we’ll respect each other and trust each other. At the same time, we’ll say this to my grand pursuers. I’m sorry, I have a fiancee.”
The crowd burst into laughter again for Ragib’s humor.
Abashed, Zoya spoke in their voices, “Shame on you… You’re so thick-skinned.”
Ragib cocked his ear and said to her, “You don’t want me to say that?”
Zoya turned her head away.
No, she hoped so.
He hoped that Ragib would be able to keep a distance from those women in the future. At the same time, he also hoped that those women would not come and bother Ragib anymore. After all, she did not have any interest in fighting with other women.
She was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office, very busy.
Ragib saw through her thoughts and laughed evilly. “That’s not going to work.”
At this time, the director asked Zoya, “Miss Zhan, what do you want to say about your engagement with Colonel?”
Zoya took the microphone and said, “Thank you.”
“Oh, Miss Zhan, what do you mean?”
“Thank you, my parents and all the people around me.” Zoya says. “It’s because of you that can become what I am today. It’s because… I’ll meet Ragib today.”
When she said this, she looked at Commander Zhan and Mrs. Zhan.
He seemed to be saying in his eyes, “It was you who stopped me and Feng, so I could meet Ragib.”
However, many people did not know about the matter of Feng. The military and police forces only knew that Feng was killed, and they did not know the relationship between Zoya and Feng.
So she couldn’t hear the resentment in Zoya’s words. It was just that she was thanking her parents, congratulating herself for being engaged to Ragib.
“Pa–”
There was continuous applause and a series of ups and downs.
The camera of the reporters kept flashing to Zoya.
Commander Zhan’s face darkened, while Mrs. Zhan sighed.
“Miss Zhan, you’re right!” The director also clapped his hands.
Finally, Ragib said, “Then here, I hope that this marriage between our two families will bring glory to the military community of our country and strengthen the military strength of our country. At the same time, I hope to break the rumor that the Military Region and the Central Military Region are at odds. After all, the daughter of Commander Zhan is my fiancee now!”
Ragib smiled and grabbed Zoya’s hand. He crossed his fingers and said, “This is our engagement ring. The media can take a close-up photo. But if the photo is not good, I will let the media close down!” In the applause of all the guests, several reporters made an OK gesture. “Don’t worry, Colonel.”
Next, according to the rules, it was General and Commander Zhan who were the leaders of the two military regions who came to the stage and talked.
-After all, this was a military and political marriage.
After that, he would talk about the matters of the two military regions.
“Come on, use the electronic screen as the background to take a few photos of me and Zoya.” Ragib requested, “We can’t make the headlines tomorrow’s military report. You reporters will never be valued by the Ragib and Zhan families. I will never make a joke.”
A few reporters immediately prepared to take a few more pictures of Ragib and Zoya.
Off the stage, General and Commander Zhan looked at the two people on the stage, who were slowly taking pictures. Both of them looked a little anxious. In their eyes, they could just take two photos at random. Did they need to take photos from different angles?
Mrs. Ragib and Mrs. Zhan looked at each other and persuaded their husbands, “He’s a young man. Of course, he likes taking pictures. Be patient.”
“Today is a happy day. Their engagement will let the media know naturally. The marriage of Zhan Family and Ragib Family has been reported to the foreign media, which also gives them a warning. If we unite with the Military Region and Central Military Region, we will become one of the top military giants in the world.” Madam Zhan was very clear about the situation in the international military circle. Then she turned to Mrs. Ragib and said, “Mrs. Ragib, do you agree?”
“Yes.” Mrs. Colonel nodded with a smile and said to General, “Be patient. The engagement of this child needs to make them livelier.”
General and Commander Zhan were appeased by his wife, and then they became stable.
Lieutenant Colonel came to the back of Commander Zhan and handed them a document. “Commander, General, this is a speech draft for us. Please read it first…”
Thus, the two leaders of the army began to read the speech.
