Chapter 212
It wasn't a loud voice, but as the wedding hall was silent right then, her words rang throughout the whole hall. Turning her head, Su Ziyue saw a woman dressed completely in black, as if she was attending a funeral, marching through the entrance of the hall.
Everyone had shocked looks on their faces. Someone actually dared to make a scene at a Gong family wedding! However, when they turned and saw that it was only a woman, they thought that there was nothing much she could do.
The first to react to the situation was Madam Gong. “What are you waiting for? Quickly invite the guest to take a seat!”
Gong Shuzhe and Madam Gong’s marriage was also a marriage between two prestigious families. She carried the natural grace which stemmed from being born in a wealthy and prestigious family. Even though she wasn’t exactly happy with Su Yige, she yielded in the end because there was just too much things involved.
Once she had spoken, the murmurs from the crowd died down. Immediately after that, bodyguards stepped forward to stop the woman in black. But the woman became hysterical and started to struggle before dashing onto the stage and grabbing Su Yige. Her face was full of hate as she glared at Su Yige. “If it wasn’t for you, my sister wouldn’t have died! It's all because of you!”
Sister? Su Ziyue suddenly recalled reading a part in Xu Youran’s diary where she had mentioned that she was brought up by her elder sister. Could this woman be Xu Youran’s elder sister?
In front of the city’s prestigious and reputable people who had gathered here today, all Su Yige could feel was her face burning. She had never been so humiliated in her life.
As the woman in black tightly gripped her arm, Su Yige suppressed her rage and tried her best to remain composed. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know you.” After saying that, she turned to look at Gong Zeyang, who stood motionless next to her, with a pleading look. His eyes had lost the warmth it used to have, and he sneered at her.
The woman in black scoffed, pulled Su Yige right into her face and grasped her chin tightly. “Four years ago, this woman blackmailed my poor sister into accusing another for having an abortion, and since then, my sister had lived in remorse. This witch even instigated her own mother into harming my sister! How ironic is it that her mother’s prison sentence was just announced yesterday, and today, she's happily getting married? Is the Gong family really able to accept such a vicious, heartless and manipulative woman as their Young Mistress?”
“I bet nobody knows who she blackmailed my sister into framing!” A sinister smile spread across the face of the grieving woman as she pointed a finger at Su Ziyue. “That person is none other than her own cousin, Su Ziyue!”
Su Ziyue was shocked at the mention of her name. At that moment, Su Youcheng, who had been silent the whole while, sprang up and roared, “What are you all waiting for?!”
Standing still, the bodyguards had been intimidated by the woman in black restraining Su Yige, but when they heard Su Youcheng’s roar, they quickly regained their senses and rushed forward to take the woman in black away.
Less than ten minutes had passed since the woman in black barged in and said those things until she was brought away, but everything she said exploded like a bomb within everyone with a loud bang. Before she left, the woman in black turned and glanced at Su Ziyue with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
When Su Ziyue looked away, she saw Su Yige glaring at her. Did Su Yige think that she was the one who brought Xu Youran’s sister here?
Thinking about it now, it seemed rather weird that Xu Youran’s sister was nowhere to be seen during the trial, and of all times and places, she had decided to appear at Su Yige’s wedding.
Did she merely want to destroy Su Yige’s wedding? Or was it because she wanted to realize Xu Youran’s last wish and use this opportunity to clarify the incident whereby she was framed by Su Yige years ago? Still, those were only Su Ziyue’s own conjectures. Only Xu Youran’s sister knew the truth. However, the Gong and Su family would never let Xu Youran’s sister off easily after she brazenly made a scene here. After all, she had completely humiliated the two families.
At the thought of this, Su Ziyue’s heart tightened, and before she could move, Qin Muchen, who was seated beside her, reached out and held her down with a hand. Twisting her head, her gaze met his dark eyes, and he shook his head ever so slightly. “She’s not Xu Youran’s sister.”
First, she was shocked, but she quickly became dubious. “That’s impossible!”
However, Qin Muchen had already stopped talking.
The wedding continued after the woman in black had left. However, the guests now looked at Su Ziyue differently. Although she was beautiful, many young masters from rich families stayed away from her
due to that abortion incident back then. After hearing what the woman in black had just said, a ripple broke out in the hearts of those rich young men.
When the wedding was over and it was time for the banquet, there were already people coming forward to speak with her. “Ms. Su, I’m from S Group…” Opening lines such as this were starting to annoy Su Ziyue.
On the other hand, Qin Muchen’s face had already turned dark ever since the first person came to accost her with complete disregard to him, who was standing right next to her. And this was already the fifth person! He was holding the wine glass so tightly that it seemed like he was going to shatter it to pieces.
Standing in front of the man, he said, “Hi, you’re Mr. Lin from S Group, right? I’ve admired you for a while now. Cheers.” With that, he tilted his head back and finished his drink.
Upon hearing that, Mr. Lin from S Group looked at the handsome man in front of him, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and stiffly finished his drink. Everyone who attended the wedding was either rich or influential, so even if he was an unfamiliar face, it wouldn’t be wise to offend him.
Expressionless, Qin Muchen watched him finish his drink before grabbing another glass from the tray of a passing by waiter. While Mr. Lin was finishing his drink, Qin Muchen turned to Su Ziyue and told her, “Your wound hasn’t completely healed yet. Why don’t you go home first? I’ve already called Nan Chuan to send you home.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Noticing that he was asking her a question, her heart dropped a little and she asked, “Aren’t you going home as well?”
Qin Muchen gently squeezed her with his arm that was around her shoulders. “Wait for me at the side if you don’t want to go home.”
“It’s alright. I’ll head home first,” she said and turned toward the hall entrance.
Qin Muchen took another glance at her back before turning back to face Mr. Lin. It turned out that Mr. Lin was able to handle alcohol quite well; his face remained unwavered even after finishing three drinks continuously. Then, Qin Muchen dragged him to a seat and continued drinking with him while they talked about S Group.
The moment Qin Muchen started to speak, Mr. Lin became dazed as he listened and finished one drink after another without him realizing under his encouragement. By the time he passed out from the drinks, he was still asking which company Qin Muchen was from, and he had completely forgotten that he had actually wanted to speak with Su Ziyue.
Snorting, Qin Muchen smoothened out the wrinkles on his jacket with disdain in his eyes. He wanted to hit on his wife? He should at least take a good look in the mirror first before that.
