The wedding date was set, just three days away!
The ceremony would take place in the central garden of the Sheng Mansion!
This was to be a major event that would capture the city’s attention. As soon as the Sheng Family released the news, media personnel, equipped with tents and simple toiletry items, had already rushed to the outskirts of the Sheng Mansion to set up camp, ready to cover the family’s activities around the clock for 72 hours.
Upon receiving the confirmed news, various departments in Jin City had also made advance preparations to deal with any emergencies that might arise, such as riot control, traffic management, and security checks. By the time three days had passed, they would be ready to spring into action to ensure that the wedding could be completed safely, smoothly, and successfully.
The large hotels near the Sheng Mansion, as well as the restaurants rated four stars and above, were all temporarily requisitioned by the Sheng Family. Renowned chefs were arranged to stay on the premises, ready for any unexpected needs.
Jin City’s gardening department also began a major operation, delivering the most festive and beautiful flowers from all four directions of the city to central Jin City, surrounding the residential area of the Sheng Mansion with a heart-piercing giant floral pattern.
In a black nanny car, Ye Xinyu was on her way to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. She was already in a foul mood because Gu Zuocheng had left the house in a huff and hadn’t returned all night, and now a traffic jam was making things even worse. Unable to restrain herself, she scolded the driver, "What are you doing? Don’t you know that there’s usually traffic here when you drive?"
The driver from the Gu Family felt wronged and replied, "Young Lady, this road is usually not congested at all, but since the Sheng Family is having a wedding in three days, a lot of vehicles are heading this way, causing traffic congestion."
"Humph, the Sheng Family’s wedding, what has that got to do with those cars?"
"Young Lady, you may not be aware, but since the wedding is taking place at the Old Mansion of the Sheng Family, various departments want to take this opportunity to make a good impression in front of the Sheng Family, get familiar with them, as it will make things much easier when they need to ask the Sheng Family for favors in the future. Didn’t you see those cars are loaded with stage sets, sound equipment, and the like? This is going to be a big deal, and our Gu Family just can’t compare to the Sheng Family."
"Shut up, did I ask you to blabber on? Just focus on driving," snapped Ye Xinyu, seething with frustration.
It was just a wedding, wasn’t it?
It was just marrying a rich man, wasn’t it?
Was it necessary to let the whole city know?
Every time she thought about Ye Shu appearing in the most perfect wedding dress before the public in three days, Ye Xinyu cursed Ye Shu incessantly in her mind, wishing she could immediately purchase a voodoo doll and stick Ye Shu’s name on it, ready to prick it with needles and draw circles around its head...
Perhaps due to Ye Xinyu’s chronic misdeeds, there seemed to be some issues with the checkup this time.
After viewing the lab results, the doctor said, "Miss Ye Xinyu, according to our examination, your baby appears to have thalassemia. If not given proper attention, the consequences could be unimaginable."
Ye Xinyu was shocked. "What are you saying? Doctor, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake? How could that be? How could my baby possibly..."
"It’s genetic. If either parent carries it, the baby might exhibit related symptoms," the doctor explained. "We just tested your blood type and found no issues, so now we need a sample of blood from the father of the baby in your womb to conduct further tests and provide appropriate treatment."
"But the baby’s father, I can’t reach him..." Ye Xinyu thought for a moment and finally made a call to Bai Xue.
