The wedding venue was set up quite simply.
After all, it was the Qin Family’s fool who was getting married, and the banquet was considerably perfunctory. The guests present were all whispering among themselves.
They were not only talking about the Qin Family’s eldest son but also discussing Ye Yuning.
"She isn’t their biological child, after all. What was the use of doing so much for the Ye Family? Once the biological daughter returns, she means nothing. Now she even has to marry an idiot!"
Another person snickered in response. "No matter how much she does, she can’t compare to one born from their own womb. I heard it’s because their biological daughter, Ye Tong, took a liking to Xiao Shuo, so Zheng Cai had no choice but to arrange things this way!"
"After so many years of raising her, is this how Zheng Cai deals with her?"
"She’s not a proper young lady anyway. Even if Zheng Cai wanted to find someone decent for her, who would be willing to take her?!"
"True. She was Xiao Shuo’s former fiancée, after all. Who would dare to cross the Xiao Family!"
As the two discussed Zheng Cai’s heartlessness, they showed little sympathy for Ye Yuning. Eventually, they even burst out laughing.
Later on, it got even more outrageous. They shifted from discussing Ye Yuning to outright mockery: "Do you think this Qin Family’s fool even knows how to be tender?"
"What can a fool know? I bet in the end, it will be this infamous Miss Ye coaxing him to put on the ring."
Inside, the discussions were fervid.
Outside, the Ye Family and Qin Family members were completely unaware and were still warmly greeting the guests.
Xiao Shuo and Ye Tong followed behind Ye Shilong, greeting an endless stream of guests!
Although it was a fool’s wedding, it was still hosted by Upper City’s second-most powerful family. Even if only to watch a spectacle, one had to attend.
Behind Xiao Linye, Lai Shuo couldn’t help but TSK TSK. "The Third Young Master seems quite happy to send off his former fiancée!"
No matter what, she was once a woman branded as his own, and he didn’t seem to find it embarrassing at all. He even appeared proudly in public with his current fiancée; he really had some nerve.
Seeing Xiao Linye, Xiao Shuo flatteringly approached. "Uncle Seven, you’re here."
"Who did you come with?" Xiao Linye casually lit a cigarette and asked.
Xiao Shuo was taken aback by the question. He hesitantly tousled his hair. "My fiancée."
His response clearly lacked confidence. Although the Xiao and Ye families had agreed on the marriage, because of Ye Yuning, his relationship with Ye Tong was still not formally recognized. They would have to wait until Ye Yuning got married before they could announce their wedding news.
Xiao Linye patted his shoulder. He said meaningfully, "In this regard, you’re really as capable as your dad!"
Xiao Shuo’s mouth twitched. Why did this comment sound so off?
Smiling somewhat guiltily, he didn’t dare respond.
Xiao Linye greeted the chairman of the Qin Family and then found a quiet spot.
Lai Shuo handed him a glass of champagne. With some confusion, he asked, "Seventh Master, are you sure you weren’t being sarcastic toward the Third Young Master just now?"
What abilities could the Second Master possibly have that I don’t know about?
Xiao Linye gave Lai Shuo a look and said nothing. Lai Shuo quickly shut his mouth.
「Over at Shanyu Pavilion.」
Ye Yuning still didn’t know that everyone at the wedding venue was waiting to see her become a laughingstock. Of course, she had already decided not to go there!
The moment she opened the web page, it was covered with reports about the Qin Family’s wedding. The second-most powerful family in Upper City—this wedding was truly sensational.
She dialed Tang Xi’s number, and after a while, Tang Xi’s sleepy voice came through, "Ning Bao."
"I’m about to make a Weibo post. Get someone to push it to the top of the trending topics!"
She realized that today, no matter what Zheng Cai said, she wouldn’t hand over the two hundred million! In that case, she shouldn’t even think about keeping the three hundred million offered by the Qin Family!
When Tang Xi heard she wanted to make it a top trending topic, he immediately woke up. "Is it important?"
"Very important," Ye Yuning affirmed.
"Then post it; I’ll contact someone right away."
After hanging up, Ye Yuning pulled up reports about the wedding and copied a picture from the venue. She also took out her marriage certificate with Xiao Linye and took a photo, redacting the date, ID numbers, and personal photos. Even for the names, only the last characters, ’Ye’ and ’Ning,’ were left visible.
In the information age, even if something becomes widely known, it’s still necessary to protect your information as much as possible.
She uploaded both the wedding venue photo and the marriage certificate. Imitating Ye Tong’s signature ’green-tea’ passive-aggressive style, she added the caption: "Officially off the market for a while now, so glad I’m not alone anymore! Congratulations, little sister~!~Sending hearts~"
She tagged Ye Tong and then hit ’publish’.
