On June 18 in Jin City, the whole city was draped in celebratory red. For today was the day Su Family, the richest family in Jin City, was to wed their bride. The wedding took place at the most luxurious Good Fate Hotel in Jin City. The Su Family had invited media houses to broadcast the entire event live, where 280 banquet tables were laid. The wedding cost nearly a hundred million, causing people of all ages throughout the city to pay close attention to this astronomical expenditure.
The lucky moment was fast approaching. The wedding planner signaled for the bride to make an entrance.
Dressed in a mermaid wedding gown, Bai Xue gracefully walked out led by the flower children tossing petals. Two flower children trailed behind her, carrying her long veil as her two best friends flanked her on either side as bridesmaids.
Her eyes were as clear as a spring, long eyelashes casting soft shadows on her fair cheeks, fluttering like butterfly wings. Her petite delicate nose, and her lips, rosy as cherry blossoms, curled into a smile that was utterly enchanting. In this instant, she was as beautiful as the laurel goddess from Greek myths, leaving the guests present in awe and admiration.
This should have been the happiest moment in her life, but...
"Where is the groom?" Someone suddenly called out, forcing everyone to instinctively look for the groom.
But the groom was nowhere to be found at the whole wedding venue.
"Don't tell me the groom has run away!" The joke was out, but the undertone was most certainly of schadenfreude.
The smile vanished from Bai Xue's face, her hands at her sides clenched into fists.
"What's going on? The groom should be here by now, right?" The wedding planner grabbed her assistant anxiously. She had him keep an eye on the groom, where in the world did he lose him to? How could the wedding go on without the groom?
The assistant shrunk back, too terrified to utter a word.
Bai Xue's hands were beautiful, but the twisted veins on the back of her hands ruined their beauty, making them appear rather horrifying!
"Xue..." Wang Ningjing's voice of concern brought Bai Xue back to her senses, and she loosened her clenched fists.
Noticing that something was amiss, the host attempted to ease the tension. "Our groom is so romantic, even at this moment he wants to surprise our bride? To all respected guests, join our bride in awaiting the big surprise!"
Just as he finished speaking, the large screen behind him, which had been playing celebratory music, suddenly went black and then lit up again. Instead of a music video, the screen now showed today's groom with another woman in his arms. That woman was someone everyone present was familiar with - the bride's younger sister! The room erupted in shock!
Indeed, it was a big surprise!
The host stood amidst the awkwardness, his eyes involuntarily glanced at Bai Xue. He internally shouted, he was innocent! He had absolutely no idea about the situation! It was purely a coincidence!
Bai Xue looked as if all the blood had been drained from her face, leaving it deathly pale. But she still stood tall like a bamboo, seemingly resilient, refusing to bend or falter!
"I believe everyone here knows my girlfriend and me." On the large screen, Su Yan held Bai Wanrou in his arms, his actions gentle, his voice filled with love.
Bai Wanrou nestled against him obediently, although, her expressions seemed unnatural, even subtly tugging at Su Yan's clothes as if trying to restrain him.
"I believe you all know that today is supposed to be my wedding day. You are curious about why I am not at the wedding venue but here instead. Don't worry, I will tell you everything soon!" Su Yan paused momentarily.
