"What did you say?" Gu Sheng looked at the maid in disbelief, somewhat doubting if she had heard correctly.
"M-Miss is getting married today..." The maid, noticing Gu Sheng’s uneasy expression, fearfully lowered her head and uncontrollably stepped back.
"It seems, it seems to be someone named Ais, right, right at the hotel where the Young Master’s wedding was held."
Gu Sheng froze in place for a couple of seconds upon hearing this, then dashed out of the villa like a madwoman.
The elders of the Gu Family, who were eagerly awaiting news of Shangguan Yu, rushed to the scene upon learning that Gu Sheng was already aware of the matter.
The wedding venue was bustling, though not as crowded as the one during Gu Li’s wedding, it was not far off.
Most of the guests today had also attended Gu Li’s wedding previously.
Just half an hour ago, they were all offering congratulations on the Gu Family’s continuous joyful events, hoping to partake in the good fortune, yet they increasingly felt something was amiss.
Wasn’t it supposed to be the Gu Family daughter’s wedding?
How come there wasn’t a single person from the Gu Family?
Everyone looked around the venue, trying to find someone, but truly seeing no one they recognized, they couldn’t help but doubt if they had come to the wrong place.
The crowd kept exchanging whispers, constantly confirming with each other if this was indeed the wedding of the Gu Family’s daughter, with some even taking out the invitations to check repeatedly.
It wasn’t until the wedding host went on stage, expressing thanks to everyone for attending the Gu Family daughter’s wedding, that people still doubted if it was that Gu Family.
Therefore, the entire venue seemed a bit chaotic, and some important figures had lost their patience and were ready to leave, but since they were already here and had been waiting, leaving without seeing the bride felt somewhat unsatisfying.
Finally, amidst all the suspicions, Ais emerged with Gu Yao.
Upon seeing Gu Yao, everyone confirmed they hadn’t been deceived.
Although Gu Yao was not often in the public eye, she, along with Gu Sheng, attended annual birthday banquets where everyone had seen her at least once, making her unforgettable.
But why wasn’t there a single person from the Gu Family present?
Even the bride wasn’t escorted by her father, but brought out directly by the groom.
Could it be that the Gu Family was dissatisfied with this groom?
Unwilling to acknowledge this son-in-law?
It’s quite possible, considering there wasn’t a peep from the Gu Family about their daughter’s marriage, and this wedding was arranged so suddenly.
But this groom didn’t seem bad at all, it’s said he’s someone noteworthy in the Holy City, so why the dissatisfaction?
Though curious, no one gossiped too much as it wasn’t the right day for that.
Ais led Gu Yao to the stage, took the microphone from the wedding host, and personally thanked the guests for attending the wedding.
The crowd below listened to Ais speak eloquently, acting humble and courteous, praising the bride in various ways, and were increasingly puzzled about what it was that the Gu Family found dissatisfactory about him.
Gu Yao felt as if she wanted to disappear as she noticed the uncertain, confused gazes from the crowd below on her from time to time, accompanied by whispers among themselves.
Ais’s heartfelt words continuously echoed in her ears, as he shared their time together and how happy he seemed. Newest update provıded by novel fire.net
Looking at the completely transformed wedding venue, which was even more dreamlike and romantic than her brother’s previous wedding, Gu Yao felt a mixture of emotions, unable to describe the feelings stirred within her.
He was truly good to her, knowing well she harbored feelings for someone else, knowing her impulsive request for him to marry her, yet he still went ahead without hesitation, willing and content to do so.
