Chapter 114: Isn’t that illegal, though

Gu Dai chuckled and realized her oversight. “Ah, yes, you’re right. I introduced you two three years ago, didn’t I?”
Meng Zhi responded with a smile, saying, “Yes.”
However, when Gu Dai wasn’t looking, Meng Zhi lowered his head, his eyes clouded with an inscrutable darkness. His thoughts drifted as he silently muttered Su Ting’s name a few times, and his expression grew even more grim.
The unexpected chaos had paused the wedding, prompting a temporary interlude. They would resume in ten minutes.
During this interval, Song Zhi approached Song Ling. “Young Master, the Old Master just called. You can still call off the wedding.”
Song Ling hesitated, torn between choices.
Jiang Yue noticed and quickly clung to his arm, looking up at him with pleading eyes. “Song Ling, don’t you want to marry me? You already promised!”
“I do want to marry you,” Song Ling hastily clarified. “It’s just that today doesn’t seem like a good day for a wedding. Can we perhaps pick another day?” “No way!” Jiang Yue was adamant.
She had finally gotten Song Ling to commit; she wasn’t going to let go now. Even if the divination arrived here today, she would not change the date an time.
Their voices carried, drawing the attention of Wang Lan and Song Yu, who hurried over. Upon learning the reason for the impasse, they grew agitated as well.
“We can’t change the date; it has to be today!” Wang Lan declared, her emotions running high.
She had invited the who’s who of society, and the ceremony was being live-streamed. A change of date would make her the laughingstock of the town.
“I agree. It has to be today,” Song Yu chimed in. “Besides, I only recognize Jiang Yue as my sister-in-law. Brother, don’t think you can marry anyone else, especially not Gu Dai!”
Song Yu suspected that the butler was acting on their grandpa’s orders, aiming to reconcile Song Ling and Gu Dai.
Over the past three years, she had often feared being ridiculed because of her lowly-born sister-in-law, Gu Dai. Now that they had finally divorced, she was about to gain a sister-in-law who was well-born, fashionable, and gentle—a true enhancement to her social status.
So, Song Yu was absolutely determined not to let Song Ling remarry Gu Dai.
Song Yu turned to Song Ling and cautioned again, “Brother, you finally divorced that woman Gu Dai. Are you really going to listen to Grandpa and remarry her?”
A look of hesitation flashed across Song Ling’s face. “I have a feeling that things won’t go smoothly today. Something bad might happen.”
Song Yu replied, “Brother, you’re just too superstitious! Don’t worry; it’s all in your head. You just need to marry Jiang Yue peacefully.”
Wang Lan nodded in agreement, “Yes, just relax, stop overthinking. What happened earlier was just an accident.”
Hearing the two people’s reassurances, Song Ling pursed his lips and finally conceded, “Alright.”
Jiang Yue bowed her head and smiled faintly. Fortunately, Wang Lan and Song Yu, who were both rather thoughtless, kept supporting her; otherwise, Song Ling might genuinely change his mind.
The butler watched the four people leave and sighed in resignation.
Having lived for so many years and met so many people, just one glance at Jiang Yue told him she was crafty. Unfortunately, the young master couldn’t see it. It seemed he would have to resort to the tactic the old master had instructed him to use.
After a brief interlude, the wedding ceremony resumed.
However, many of the decorations for the ceremony required electricity, which had been cut off by Song Ling to prevent disturbances. The absence of special lighting effects diminished the ceremony’s beauty.
Even though Song Ling and Jiang Yue both looked stunning on this day, it couldn’t make up for this shortcoming.
Those watching the live broadcast began to comment.
“So boring to watch this again.”
“And without the lighting, the whole ceremony lacks atmosphere. Couldn’t they get someone to fix the lights?”
“Tsk, tsk. You must have just joined the stream, huh? You missed Song Ling’s domineering side. There was a commotion next door, and to avoid disrupting the wedding, he cut off the power. So cool!”
“Isn’t that illegal, though?”
